Improvements-in-lieu of Parkland for Bozeman West Apartments1 Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Mayor Andrus and City Commission FROM: Tom Rogers, Senior Planner Mitch Overton, Director of Parks and Recreation Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Request for Improvements-in-Lieu of Parkland Dedication for the Bozeman West Apartments Site Plan, located at 2235 Tschache Lane, Site Plan Application 17108. MEETING DATE: May 21, 2018 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent (Quasi-Judicial) RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approve the request for improvements-in- lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of $190,000 for improving Rose Park. BACKGROUND: The Bozeman West Apartments site plan application requested approval to construct 216 residential apartment units in six buildings with a clubhouse, open space, parking, and associated improvements within the R-4 district. The subject property consists of 10.11 acres on the north side of Tschache Lane across from Rose Park. Pursuant to section 38.27.020.A, BMC for the purpose of parkland dedication NET residential density is capped at 12 dwelling units per acre. Net residential density for this project is calculated at 22.4 dwelling units per acre. The applicant proposed improvements-in-lieu of parkland dedication to meet their parkland requirements. The approximate cash-in-lieu value is $120,000. The proposed improvements-in-lieu are estimated at $190,000. The improvements are to Rose Park directly across Tschache lane. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) reviewed the park plan and recommends approval for the plan on March 9, 2017. The RPAB meeting minutes are attached to the memorandum. The City Commission unanimously adopted the Rose Park Master Plan on November 27, 2017, which included the applicant’s proposal for Rose Park improvements. See Resolution No. 4786. The review of the Bozeman West Apartments site plan application is complete. Additional analysis for cash/improvements-in-lieu was performed against the criteria in Resolution 4784 and found to be consistent with the criteria in section 3 of the resolution. The Development Review Committee has recommended approval of the application. Final plan approval by the Director of Community Development is pending acceptance of the cash/improvements-in-lieu of parkland dedication by the City Commission. Because this application was deemed acceptable for review before the effective date of the recent UDC update this application is reviewed under the regulations previously in effect. ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board (RPAB) Subdivision Review Committee met on March 9, 2017 and unanimously supported the 15 2 applicant’s proposal of improvements-in-lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of $190,000. UNRESOLVED ISSUE(S): None determined at this time. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Support the staff recommendation and findings to approve the request for a cash/improvements-in-lieu payment for the project of: $190,000 per Sec. 38.27.030; 2. Approve the request for a cash/improvements-in-lieu payment in an alternate amount; 3. Deny the request for cash/ improvements-in-lieu; or 4. As suggested by the Commission FISCAL EFFECTS: Construction review, increased tax revenue for land improvements, and related economic activity associated with residential activity will provide positive balance sheets for City. The cost of community services will offset some or all of the increased economic activity associated with the development. In addition, improvements valued at $190,000 will become assets of the City.

Announcements: Jade Sobek shared that the swimming events for the Big Sky State Games will be at the Swim Center this year for the first time this summer. July 14th G. Committee Report, Discussion, and Action Items: 1) Special Presentation: Affordable Housing – Kevin Thane, CAHAB Board Member -- Gave an update to their plan to use an area of Cemetery property for an Affordable Housing project. Described some issues to work out regarding a sewer section that needs replacement and the intersection Main St. and Highland Blvd. He will continue to give updates as the project moves along. As to the type of housing, nothing has been decided. Would like to include MSU students for their input in the planning, but at this point they don’t have a specific plan for the number of units, the size or occupancy limit. 2) Division & Gallatin Valley Land Trust Report: Jeff Hough -- Youth Cycling and Trail Etiquette: They are beginning to plan for a program for 6-14 year olds for next summer (2018) that would include both trail etiquette and trail work. -- Their summer maintenance plan is in the works right now. -- TMP: consulting firm taking final comments 3) Trails, Open Space and Parks Committee Report: Stephanie Gray - absent 17 4) Action Items: a) Allocate Cash In Lieu Funds to Bozeman Sports Park: Carolyn Poissant (Includes attachment) Recommended Motion: I hereby move to recommend the City Commission approve the allocation of $25,092 in cash-in-lieu of park land dedication funding to the Bozeman Sports Park project. -- Background from Carolyn: Known as the “23rd Ave. Condos;” Cash-in-lieu amount was voluntarily doubled to $25,092; developer sent a letter requesting the CIL be applied to the Sports Park. -- Mitch added an additional explanation. A neighborhood park needs to be within a half mile; if a community park, must be within a reasonable distance. -- Discussion continued about the needs of other parks close by like Bozeman Pond. -- Recommended Motion by Steve Roderick; Second by Richard Shanahan; Approved [Yes: 6, No: 1] b) Rose Park Master Plan (updated): Carolyn Poissant https://tdhengineering.sharefile.com/share?#/view/s091b978b09e4237b Recommended Motion: I hereby move to recommend City Commission adopt the updated Rose Park Master Plan as presented by staff. -- Background from Carolyn: Using the GIS maps, she showed us where the park is in relation to this development. The developer met with Mitch, proposing an Improvements-in-Lieu ($190K) rather than providing parkland within their development. For this to happen the Master Plan for Rose Park needed to be updated and would include the improvements the developer proposed. The Disc Golf group also gave T. D. Engineering some additional proposed improvements to incorporate in the park plan. -- Recommended Motion by Steve Schnee; Second by Tommy Bass; Approved [Yes: 7/All] c) Park Within a 10-Minute Walk Campaign: Mitch Overton (Includes attachment) Recommended Motion: I move that the City Commission authorize the Mayor to sign the Letter of Support for the National Recreation and Parks Association, Trust for Public Land, and Urban Land Institute Combined National Effort for Municipalities to have a goal of a Park Within a 10-Minute Walk to all its residents. -- Background from Mitch: Defined 10-Minuite Walk as “within a half mile radius.” Trails are not parks but help with connectivity to parks. National Campaign will begin this fall, promoting cities that have adopted this goal. We are doing well already with this concept, but it will be a goal to work within for future projects. -- Recommended Motion by Jade Sobek; Second by Steve Schnee; Approved [Yes: 7/All] d) Kirk Park Boundary Line Adjustment: (Includes attachment) Recommended Motion: Having considered all public input and information received to date, I hereby recommend that City Commission approve Ordinance 1969 for the Agreement to Exchange Land for the Kirk Park Boundary Line Adjustment. -- Recently discovered that private property adjacent to the Kirk Park skate park area overlapped some of the park’s skate parkland and needed to be adjusted. This would require an ordinance to adjust the boundary, and we need to file a subdivision exemption with the state. Discussion continued around how and why that boundary line was drawn. -- Recommended Motion by Steve Roderick; Second by Jade Sobek; Approved [Yes: 7/All] 5) Subdivision Review Committee: Carolyn Poissant -- SOBO Lofts at Babcock and 11th, a mixed use development, issue is whether they are 18 19 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////E8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8S E8S E8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SE8SBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8W E6W E6WS E8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8W E8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8WE8W E8WEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWE8WE8W6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS 6SS 6SS6SS6SS6SS6SS 6SS 6SS6SS6SS6SS4WS 4FIRE 4FIRE 4WS 4WS4FIRE4WS 4WS 4WS4FIRE4FIRE4FIRE 2WS 2WS 2WS 2WS 2WS2WS 4WS4WS4FIRE4FIRE4SS 4SS 4SS SD SD SD SD SD SD SD SDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSD SDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSD SDSDSDSDSD SDSDSDSD SD SD SD SD SD SDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSD SDSDSDSD SDSD SD SDSDSDSDSDSDRD RD RD RD RD RD RD RD RD RD RDRDRDRDRDRDRD RDRD RD RD RD RD RD RDRDRD RD RD RDRDRDRDRD RD RDRD RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD RD RDRD RDRDRDRDRDRDRD RD RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDSDSDM-1BPR-3R-3B-2PROJECTPROPERTY(ZONED R-4)R-1R-1B-1R-OM-1B-2R-4B-2R-3R-3R-32235 TSCHACHE LANE20
