Report Date: May 17, 2018 Staff Contact: Chris Saunders; Community Development Manager Agenda Item Type: Action - Legislative EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Unresolved Issues None Project Summary The applicant Bridger Center LLC, seeks to annex 12 acres into the City limits and establish initial zoning of R-1 “Residential Single-Household Low Density”. The property is currently 479 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 2 of 21 zoned AS, “Agriculture - Suburban” within the county. The future land use map in the Bozeman Community Plan designates the property as “Residential”. The property is surrounded by the city limits on all sides and the applicant intends to connect to and extend city services upon annexation. The site currently has no existing buildings, facilities, or utilities. The subject property is surrounded by light manufacturing (M-1), residential (R-3 and R-S), and PLI land. The future land use map designates the surrounding area as Residential, Parks, Open Space, and Recreational Lands, and Industrial. The proposed R-1 “residential single-household low density” zoning designation fits within the Bozeman Community Plan’s intentions of the “residential” land use category (see Table C-16 in Appendix C). Zoning Commission The Zoning Commission conducted their public hearing on May 15, 2018. No members of the public offered testimony. After consideration, the Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the requested zone map amendment.

The applicant must provide a copy of the filed SID waiver prior to annexation. Advisory Comments 1. The application materials indicate, “The applicant plans to use this easement for a sewer main extension, with individual service connections, discharging to an existing manhole in Boylan Road.” For clarity, the City Design Standards and Specifications Policy requires the applicant to extend a sanitary sewer main onto the property and connect sanitary sewer services at 90-degree angles to the main upon development of the property. 2. The applicant is advised to contact the City Floodplain Administrator (Brian Heaston in the City Engineering Division) prior to development of this property as the property is significantly impacted by floodplain. 3. Prior to development, the applicant must contact the Gallatin County Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the proposed project and any required permits (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.) must be obtained by the applicant. 4. Upon development, the applicant must extend a City standard local street into the property from Commercial Drive. 5. The application materials indicated there is an existing 30-foot easement from Commercial Drive to the property. The easement is a 60-feet wide easement from Commercial Drive to the property. SECTION 3 - RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES OF ZONE MAP AMENDMENT Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the process of the proposed amendment. These contingencies only apply in the event that the related annexation request has previously been approved. Recommended Contingencies of Approval: 1. That all documents and exhibits necessary to establish an initial municipal zoning designation shall be identified as the “2018 Bridger Meadows Zone Map Amendment.” All required documents must be returned to the City within 60 days of 486 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 9 of 21 the City Commission action to annex the property or the preliminary approval shall be null and void. 2.

Said map shall contain a metes and bounds legal description of the perimeter of the subject property including adjacent right-of-ways, and total acreage of the property. 3. That the Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be finalized until the Annexation Agreement is signed by the applicant and formally approved by the City Commission. If the annexation agreement is not approved, the Zone Map Amendment application shall be null and void. 4. The Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant provides an editable metes and bounds legal description prepared by a licensed Montana surveyor. SECTION 4 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS Annexation Having considered the criteria established for an annexation, the Development Review Committee (DRC) determined on March 14, 2018 to recommend approval of the requested annexation. The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the annexation on June 4, 2018. The meeting will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Zone Map Amendment Having considered the criteria established for a zone map amendment, the Staff recommends approval as submitted. The Bridger Meadows Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) is in conjunction with an annexation request. Staff’s recommendation and staff responses are predicated on approval of the annexation, application #18-078. The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the amendment on March 14, 2018. The DRC did not identify any infrastructure or regulatory constraints that would impede the approval of the application. The Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on this ZMA on May 15, 2018 and will forward a recommendation to the Commission on the Zone Map amendment. The hearing will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. 487 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 10 of 21 The City Commission will hold a public meeting on the zone map amendment on June 4 2018. The meeting will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. SECTION 5 - ANNEXATION STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS In considering applications for approval of the requested annexation, the advisory boards and City Commission shall consider the following: Commission Resolution No. 4400 Criteria Commission Resolution No. 4400 Goals Goal 1: It shall be the goal of the City of Bozeman to encourage annexations of land contiguous to the City. Yes. The property in question is contiguous to the City limits on all sides. Goal 2: The City shall seek to annex all areas that are totally surrounded by the City, without regard to parcel size. Yes. The subject property is totally surrounded by the City. Goal 3: The City shall seek to annex all property currently contracting with the City for services such as water, sanitary sewer and/or fire protection. Neutral. The subject property is not currently contracting with the City for water, sewer, or fire protection services. Connection to municipal infrastructure for the property will be required and will be the responsibility of the owner at the time of development of the property. The applicant shows utility easements from the property line to Boylan Road and to the loop off of Birdie Drive in order to connect to utilities in the future. Goal 4: It shall be the goal of the City of Bozeman to require annexation of all land proposed for development lying within the service boundary of the existing sewer system as depicted in the Bozeman Growth Policy, and to encourage annexations within the urban growth area identified in the Bozeman Growth Policy. Yes. The subject property is located within the service boundary of the existing sewer system, with gravity mains located along Boylan Road to the east and within the loop off of Birdie Drive to the east, which could be used for potential future development. The site is also located within the urban growth area of the Bozeman Growth Policy. Resolution No. 4400 Policies Policy 1: Annexations shall include dedication of all easements, rights-of-way for collector and arterial streets, water rights, and waivers of right-to-protest against the 488 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 11 of 21 creation of improvement districts necessary to provide the essential services for future development of the City. Yes. The Recommended Terms of Annexation include requirements to dedicate all water rights, and waivers of right-to-protest against the creation of improvement districts necessary to provide the essential services for future development of the City. Policy 2: Issues pertaining to master planning and zoning shall be addressed in conjunction with the application for annexation. a. The initial application for annexation shall be in conformance with the current Bozeman Growth Policy. If a Growth Policy Amendment is necessary to accommodate anticipated uses, said amendment process may be initiated by the applicant and conducted concurrently with the processing for annexation. Yes. The Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman Community Plan (growth policy) designates the subject property as “Residential.” The proposed R-1 “Residential Single-Household Low Density” is in conformance with the intent of the Bozeman Community Plan future land use designation and the current development pattern of the area. As Table C-16 from the growth policy shows (see Appendix C), the R-1 zoning district is properly correlated with the “Residential” designation. b. Initial zoning classifications of the property to be annexed shall be determined by the City Commission, in compliance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and upon a recommendation of the City Zoning Commission, prior to final annexation approval. Yes. The applicant has applied for a Zone Map Amendment, as the subject property is currently under the zoning jurisdiction of Gallatin County (Zoned AS, Agriculture Suburban). As a result, an application for a Zone Map Amendment is being processed concurrently with the annexation request to establish a new zoning designation under the City of Bozeman. The applicant has applied for a Zone Map Amendment #18-078 to establish an initial municipal zoning designation of R-1 “Residential Single-Household Low Density” which fits within the Bozeman Community Plan future land use designation. c. The applicant may indicate his or her preferred zoning classification as part of the annexation application. Yes. The applicant/owner has indicated that they prefer a zoning designation of R-1 “Residential Single-Household Low Density”. Policy 3: Fees for Annexation procedures shall be established by the City Commission. No fee will be charged for any City-initiated annexation. Yes. The appropriate application processing and review fees accompanied the application. 489 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 12 of 21 Policy 4: It shall be the general policy of the City that annexations will not be approved where unpaved county roads will be the most commonly used route to gain access to the property. Yes. The property proposed for annexation shows a public access easement (in escrow) to the loop off of Birdie Drive to the east of the subject property. Birdie Drive is paved and any future connecting roads will be required to be paved to access the property. There is an existing public street easement extending from the present terminus of Commercial Drive to the north which also provides legal access to the property. This easement is not presently developed as a street. Note: The annexation and the placement of a zoning district designation on the property by the City does not guarantee available services. Section 38.07.010.C of the Unified Development Code states: “Placement of any given zoning district on an area depicted on the zoning map indicates a judgment on the part of the city that the range of uses allowed within that district are generally acceptable in that location. It is not a guarantee of approval for any given use prior to the completion of the appropriate review procedure and compliance with all of the applicable requirements and development standards of this chapter and other applicable policies, laws and ordinances. It is also not a guarantee of immediate infrastructure availability or a commitment on the part of the city to bear the cost of extending services.” Policy 5: Prior to annexation of property, it shall be the policy of the City of Bozeman to acquire adequate and usable water rights, or an appropriate fee in lieu thereof, in accordance with Section 38.23.180 of the municipal code. Yes. The property owner shall provide usable water rights, or cash in-lieu of water rights thereof, in an amount to be determined by the Director of Public Works, as outlined by Section 38.23.180 of the municipal code. The calculated amount will be determined by the Director of Public Works and based on the zoning designation approved by the City Commission. Due to the size of the annexation the actual payment is deferred until the time of future development. Policy 6: Infrastructure and emergency services for an area proposed for annexation will be reviewed for the health, safety and welfare of the public. If it is found that adequate services cannot be provided to ensure public health, safety and welfare, it shall be the general policy of the City to require the applicant to provide a written plan for accommodations of these services, or not approve the annexation. Additionally, annexation proposals that would use up infrastructure capacity already reserved for properties lying either within undeveloped portions of the City limits or lying outside the 490 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 13 of 21 City limits but within the identified sewer or water service area boundaries, shall generally not be approved. Yes. City infrastructure and emergency services are available to the subject property. The site is located adjacent to developments that are currently served by Bozeman Fire. Recommended Term of Annexation #7 includes the provision that the developer will be responsible for installing facilities required to provide full municipal services to the property in accordance with the City’s Infrastructure Master Plan, adopted Community Plan, and all city policies and guidelines that may be in effect at the time of development. Policy 7: It shall be the general policy of the City of Bozeman to require annexation of any contiguous property for which City services are requested or for which City services are currently being contracted. Neutral. City services are not currently being provided to this property. Policy 8: The annexation application shall be accompanied by mapping to meet the requirements of the Director of Public Works. Yes. Mapping to meet the requirements of the Director of Public Works must be provided with the Annexation Agreement. Typically, this includes an 18-inch by 24-inch mylar map, a reduced 8½-inch by 11 or 14-inch annexation map exhibit, and a digital copy containing the metes and bounds legal description of said property. (Mapping requirements are addressed in Recommended Term of Annexation #2). A draft exhibit has been provided which appears suitable. The formal mylar map will be required prior to adoption of the resolution of annexation. Policy 9: It shall be the policy of the City of Bozeman to assess a system development/impact fee in accordance with Chpt. 2, Art. 6, Div. 9 Bozeman Municipal Code (Impact Fees), and in accordance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and other policies as they are developed. Yes. The applicant will be required to pay all fire, street, water, and sewer impact fees at the time of connection for any future development as noted in Recommended Term of Annexation #5. Standard language addressing this policy has been developed by the City Attorney for inclusion with all annexation agreements. There are no buildings presently on the site which require public services. Policy 10: Public notice requirements shall be in compliance with Montana Code Annotated. In addition, notice shall be posted in at least one conspicuous location on the site in question, and mailed to all owners of real property of record within 200 feet of the site in question using the last declared county real estate tax records, not more than 45 days nor less than 15 days prior to the scheduled action to approve or deny the annexation by the City Commission, specifying the date, time and place the annexation will be 491 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 14 of 21 considered by the City Commission. The notice shall contain the materials specified by Section 38.40.020.A&B.1, BMC. Yes. Notices of the public hearing have been sent and posted on the site as set forth under this policy. Due to the unusual configuration of the site and limited access along any public roadway, an additional public notice was posted along the public trail along the north end of the property. Photos of the posted public notices were provided to demonstration completion of the installation. Policy 11: Annexation agreements shall be executed and returned to the City within 60 days of distribution of the annexation agreement, unless another time period is specifically identified by the City Commission. Yes. This policy item is specified in Recommended Term of Annexation #4. Policy 12: When possible, the use of Part 46 annexations is preferred. Yes. This annexation is being processed under Part 46 provisions. SECTION 6 - ZONE MAP AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City Commission shall consider the following criteria (letters A-K). As an amendment is a legislative action, the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The burden of proof that the application should be approved lies with the applicant. In considering the criteria the analysis must show that the amendment accomplishes criteria A-D. Criteria E-K must be considered and may be found to be affirmative, neutral, or negative. A favorable decision on the proposed application must find that the application meets all of criteria A-D and that the positive outcomes of the amendment outweigh negative outcomes for criteria E-K. Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria A. Be in accordance with a growth policy. Yes. The future land use map in the Bozeman Community Plan (growth policy) designates the subject properties as “Residential”. As Table C-16 from the growth policy shows (see Appendix C) the proposed R-1 zoning district is a proper implementing district for the future land use designation. The growth policy encourages infill development, development on municipal services rather than individual sanitation systems, and preservation of floodplains to avoid hazards. The subdivision or site review process which will follow completion of annexation will enable a 492 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 15 of 21 further evaluation of the various growth policy goals with the benefit of additional information. No conflicts with the goals or objectives of the Growth Policy have been identified. B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers. Yes. The subject property is within the service area of City emergency services, including police and fire. If developed, the property will be required to conform to the City of Bozeman standards and regulations in terms of fire, safety, and other emergency services standards. The exhibit shows a public easement suitable for emergency access connecting to Boylan Road to the north. Additionally, a public easement is shown on the exhibit that connects to the loop off of Birdie Drive. C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare. Yes. The proposed zoning designation will promote general welfare by implementing the future land use map in the Bozeman Community Plan. The R-1 zoning designation will provide the opportunity for residential opportunities in close proximity to existing services such as park land, employment and shopping. Locating more residential density within the existing network of infrastructure will allow for more access to the residents of the community for walking and biking to work and other activities. D. Facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements. Yes. The development of public infrastructure improvements to serve the property will be required to conform to the City of Bozeman’s adopted standards which require properties to construct public infrastructure with regards to transportation, water, sewer, school, parks, and other public requirements. For water services, utility easements are shown to Boylan Road and to the east loop of Birdie Drive (The Links Condominiums). The latter easement is in escrow as part of an agreement between the Applicant and Golf Course Partners, Inc. (GCP). The Applicant plans to use both connection points to loop a new water main through the property, which will be used for service connections. For sewer services, the applicant intends to extend the sewer main that exists in Boylan Road through a utility easement shown on the exhibit. Additionally, a 30’ wide access easement is shown to Commercial Drive to the south, along with a 42’ wide access and utility easement to the east, connecting to the road adjacent to The Links Condominiums to provide transportation access. Any proposed development would be serviced by the existing school system, and the density allowed within R-1 would not over burden the school district. Parks and trails are abundant in this area of town, with the East Gallatin Recreation area and future Story Mill park properties located in close proximity. The subject property is located within the city fire and police service area, and any proposed development would be required to meet emergency access requirements during site plan review. E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air. 493 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 16 of 21 Yes. The R-1 zoning designation will require any future development to conform to the City’s standards in terms of setbacks, height, lot coverage, and buffering. The standards of the R-1 district have been found by the Commission to adequately address these concerns. F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems. Neutral. The proposed R-1 zoning designation will have a neutral effect on the City’s transportation systems, as any proposed development would require an analysis of future traffic impacts and any necessary mitigation would be required prior to approval. The Montana Department of Transportation is presently expanding Rouse Avenue/Bridger Drive could have positive impacts on any potential routes to the subject property. The property is located near a major highway with a strong network of streets surrounding the property making it appropriate for residential use. Additionally, the adjacent existing and proposed network of trails provide opportunities for residents to use multimodal transportation as does the downtown bus route with a stop located at the Filling Station. G. Promotion of compatible urban growth. Yes. The proposed R-1 zoning designation promotes compatibility with urban growth as it is in accordance with the Bozeman Community Plan. The “Residential” land use designation allows the proposed R-1 zoning (see Appendix C). Additionally, there is existing R-S and R- 3 zoned properties adjacent, so the proposed R-1 zoning creates consistency in regards to compatible urban growth of area properties. The applicant has indicated that the wetlands on the subject property will create a buffer of nearly 6-acres to the south between the adjacent properties that are zoned industrial and any potential residential development. The proposed R-1 zoning is the least intensive residential zoning allowed in the City, as R-S is no longer allowed for new development. H. Character of the district. Yes. The proposed R-1 zoning does promote the character of the district as the intent of the residential district is to designate “places where the primary activity is urban density dwellings”. This is compatible with the land use of surrounding residential development to the north and east which is currently zoned R-S, R-3, and R-1. Any adjacency conflicts between the subject property and the industrial property to the south would be mitigated during site plan review and as a result of the topography and wetlands. The proposed R-1 zoning is the least intensive residential zoning allowed in the City (as R-S is no longer allowed for new development), and thus will protect the character of the district through density standards, setbacks, and other standards associated with the R-1 district. I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses. Yes. The new zoning will address the affected area’s peculiar suitability for uses as any new development will have to meet applicable standards per the City’s development standards and regulations. Any proposed development would need to comply with the zoning 494 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 17 of 21 ordinance requirements of the R-1 zone. The site is suitable for low density due to the substantial presence of floodplains and wetlands on the site which limits the area which can be developed. A lower density use will have lesser demand on utilities and transportation. J. Conserving the value of buildings. Yes. There are no existing buildings on the property. The proposed zoning and annexation may lead to additional residential development in the future, which may affect adjacent residential development negatively by affecting views and creating more thru-traffic, or may affect it positively by increasing housing options and enhancing the neighborhood character. The general use as residential is the same as properties to the east. The industrial area to the south is largely separated from the developable area on this parcel by various natural features. This separation will prevent the new residential use from encroaching on the industrial uses. K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area. Yes. The proposed R-1 zoning will encourage the most appropriate use of land by adhering to the City’s Community Plan which designates the future land uses of the properties as residential. See also the positive findings in the criteria above. PROTEST NOTICE FOR ZONING AMENDMENTS IN THE CASE OF WRITTEN PROTEST AGAINST SUCH CHANGES SIGNED BY THE OWNERS OF 25% OR MORE OF THE AREA OF THE LOTS WITHIN THE AMENDMENT AREA OR THOSE LOTS OR UNITS WITHIN 150 FEET FROM A LOT INCLUDED IN A PROPOSED CHANGE, THE AMENDMENT SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE EXCEPT BY THE FAVORABLE VOTE OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE PRESENT AND VOTING MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION. The City will accept written protests from property owners against the proposal described in this report until the close of the public hearing before the City Commission.

The property is currently zoned AS, “Agriculture Suburban” within the county. The future land use map in the Bozeman Community Plan designates the property as “Residential”. The property is surrounded by the city limits on all sides and the applicant intends to connect to and extend city services through easements upon annexation, as shown on the exhibit. These connections would be further reviewed during site plan review, and all proposed development would be required to meet the standards of the R-1 zoning designation. The site currently has no existing buildings, facilities, or utilities. The subject property is surrounded by light manufacturing (M-1) to the south and PLI land to the west. Any conflict of these properties to the proposed R-1 development would be addressed through site plan review and likely mitigated through the existing topographic elements and wetlands which are to remain. The rest of the subject property is surrounded by R-S to the north and R-3 to the east. The proposed R-1 development is the least intensive residential development allowed by the City and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood character. Overall, the proposed zoning and annexation meets the intent of the City’s community plan, zoning ordinance, and future urban growth criteria. APPENDIX B - NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT Notice was sent via US 1st Class mail on Friday, April 27, 2018 to all owners of property located inside the proposed change and within 200 feet of the perimeter of the change. The project site was posted on Saturday, April 28, 2018. Notice was published in the Legal Ads section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on April 29, 2018 and May 13, 2018. The Zoning Commission public hearing is scheduled for May 15, 2018 and the City Commission public hearing is scheduled for June 4, 2018. No public comment has been received as of the writing of this report. APPENDIX C - PROJECT GROWTH POLICY AND PROPOSED ZONING Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman Community Plan. According to the plan, “This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities to persons without 496 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 19 of 21 requiring the use of an automobile. Implementation of this category by residential zoning should provide for and coordinate intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation indicates that it is expected that development will occur within municipal boundaries, which may require annexation prior to development. The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings per net acre. A higher density may be considered in some locations and circumstances. A variety of housing types can be blended to achieve the desired density. Large areas of single type housing are discouraged. In limited instances the strong presence of constraints and natural features such as floodplains may cause an area to be designated for development at a lower density than normally expected within this category. All residential housing should be arranged with consideration of compatibility with adjacent development, natural constraints such as watercourses or steep slopes, and in a fashion which advances the overall goals of the Bozeman growth policy. The residential designation is intended to provide the primary locations for additional housing within the planning area.” As Table C-16 from the Bozeman Community Plan shows, the proposed zoning of R-1 is an implementing districts for the future land use designation of “Residential”. 497 Staff Report for the 2018 Bridger Meadows Annexation and Zone Map Amendment Page 20 of 21 Proposed Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The applicant has requested zoning of “R-1” (Residential Single-Household Low Density) in association with the annexation of the property. The intent of the R-1 District is “to provide for primarily single-household residential development and related uses within the city at urban densities, and to provide for such community facilities and services as will serve the area's residents while respecting the residential character and quality of the area.” Table 38.310.030 establishes the uses that are allowed in the R-1 zoning districts. Principal uses are indicated with a "P," conditional uses are indicated with a "C," accessory uses are indicated with an "A," and uses which are not authorized within the district are indicated by a "-." The table is available through the City’s website, www.bozeman.net. A copy is attached to this staff report.

The uses listed are deliberately broad and some are given special definitions in article 7 of this chapter. The intent of this method is to provide general guidance for uses while allowing the unique needs and circumstances of each proposal to be specifically addressed through the review process. Some uses are the subject of special regulations contained in division 38.360 of this article. D. Clarification of permitted uses and special conditions: 1. If a * appears after the use, then the use is defined in article 7. 500 BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - FINAL 145 March 9, 2018 UDC update 3-31-2018 2. Where a code section is referenced after the use, then the use is subject to the additional standards in that code section. 3. If a number appears in the box, then the use may be allowed subject to development condition(s) described in the footnotes immediately following the table. If there are multiple numbers, then the use is subject to all applicable development conditions. 4. Where a number with a “sf” reference appears below a P or C in the box, it means that the use is permitted or conditionally permitted up to the (maximum) listed square footage in gross building area. 5. If more than one letter–number combination appears in the box (e.g., P2, 3), the use is allowed in the zone subject to different sets of limitations or conditions depending on the review process indicated by the letter, the general requirements of the code and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition with the corresponding number immediately following the table. Sec. 38.310.020. - Classification of uses; community development director and city commission authority. (38.07.050) A. When a use is not clearly defined or otherwise identified in the code so that it may be determined if it is allowed within a district the community development director must determine the appropriate classification of a particular use. In making this determination, the community development director must find: 1. That the use is the same as one or more uses permitted in the district wherein it is proposed to be located; or 2. That the use is so similar to one or more uses permitted in the district wherein it is proposed to be located as to be interpreted as the same, so long as: a. The use and its operation are comparable with the uses permitted in the district wherein the use is proposed to be located, in terms of: i. The amount, type, and pattern of vehicular traffic anticipated for the use, and ii. The expected outdoor uses and activities associated with the use; b. The use will not cause substantial injury to values of property in the neighborhood or district wherein it is proposed to be located; and c. Neither the intent of this chapter nor the intent of the district will be abrogated by such classification. Persons objecting to a decision of the community development director regarding a classification of a use carry the burden of proof to establish error in the decision. B. If a question arises concerning the appropriate classification of a particular use, the community development director may submit the question to the city commission to determine whether the particular use is the same or so similar as to be interpreted the same as a listed permitted or conditional use. In making such a determination, the city commission must find that the criteria set forth in either subsection A.1 or 2 of this section are met. C. If a specific use is not listed and cannot be interpreted to be the same, or so similar as to be interpreted the same, as a listed accessory, principal or conditional use, the use must not be allowed. However, an amendment to the text of this chapter may be submitted for review and approval pursuant to the requirements of this chapter to allow such use as a listed principal, conditional or accessory use (as defined in section 38.700.020). 501 502 503 504 BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - FINAL 149 March 9, 2018 UDC update 3-31-2018 2.

This zone map amendment is coupled with an annexation request for the same parcel and seeks zoning R-1 residential single house- hold low density to promote and further the primary objectives of the Community Plan. The property has been through many changes in land use designations in recent history; today the growth policy designation is residential. The new zoning of R-1 will provide for a pattern of development that is consistent with the community vision and responsive to the concerns of the adjacent development. The attached documentation in this application will provide a description of the existing growth policy designation as well as address the twelve review criteria necessary for a Zone Map Amendment. Thank you for your attention and consideration of this proposal. Sincerely, Erik Nelson Thinktank Design Group, Inc 517 Zone Map Amendment for Bridger Center 2 General information Location: The property is located in the Northeast part of the City near Bridger Drive. The property is also adjacent to the Bridger Creek development as well as the East Gallatin Recreation area. Given that this parcel is yet to annex there is not any underlying zoning, however, the Growth Policy designation is Residential. Intent: The intent of this proposal is to provide for an initial zoning designation following annexation thru a Zone Map Amendment. The initial zoning designation being sought is R-1 Low Density Residential. The following information will respond to the specifics of the 2020 plan section 2.4.1, and UDO Chapter 18.70. Zoning Adjacencies: North: PLI- park land Open space / parkland for Bridger Creek (adjacent residential development) East: R-3 – Medium Density Residential – comprised of duplex condominium units R-3 -- Medium Density Residential – one to five household residential structures - vacant West PLI- park land South M-1 light manufacturing – mostly built up to include uses typical to M-1 Existing Growth Policy Designation: Residential. This category designates places where primary activity is urban density dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low intensity home-based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile. Implementation of this category by residential zoning should coordinate intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation indicates an expectation that development will occur within municipal boundaries, which may require annexation prior to development. The dwelling unit density expected with this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings per net acre. A higher density may be considered in some locations and circumstances. A variety of housing types can be blended to achieve the desired density. Large areas of single housing types are discouraged. In limited instances, the strong presence of constraints and natural features such as floodplains may cause the area to be developed at a lower density than normally expected within this category. All residential housing should be arranged considering of the compatibility with adjacent development. Natural constraints, such as watercourses or steep slopes, should be addressed in a manner which advances the overall goals of the Bozeman growth policy. The residential designation is intended to provide the primary locations for additional housing within the planning area. Existing Zoning: None at this time Proposed Zoning: Residential Low Density District : R-1 518 Zone Map Amendment for Bridger Center 3 The intent of the R-1 residential single-household low density district is to provide for one-and tow household residential development and related uses within the city at urban densities, and to provide for such community facilities and services as will serve the area’s residents while respecting the residential character and quality of the area.

Is the new zoning designed in accordance with the growth policy? Yes The comprehensive plan has provided a Residential designation to this property, which is distinct from the Suburban Residential category. The Residential land use designation states that “the primary activity is urban density dwellings” of which R-1 fits that type. Furthermore, the land use designation makes specific reference that residential densities should be in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of services…without requiring an automobile.” The surrounding zoning and land use support this idea with direct proximity to commercial work zones as well as trail systems connecting to basic services such as schools, parks and shopping, all within about one half mile. Additionally, the comprehensive plan states that a variety of housing types are encouraged, which is emphasized in the intent of the R-1 zoning designation. Additionally, this would be compatible with the existing R-3 that is adjacent. Although this parcel does have both floodplain and wetland located within its boundaries, there is ample room for appropriate R-1 development. The actual development standards in place provide protection for these amenities as well. Also of note is pending activity on the former Story Mill site. Recent plans are calling for the creation of a large regional park which would be a useful amenity for a residential development in close proximity. Land Use Goals and Objectives: Goal LU-1: Create a sense of place that varies throughout the City, efficiently provides public and private basic services and facilities in close proximity to where people live and work, and minimizes sprawl. Objective LU-1.4 Provide for and support infill development and redevelopment which provides additional density of use while respecting the context of the existing development which surrounds it. Respect for context does not automatically prohibit difference in scale or design. a. Is the new zoning designed to lessen congestion in the streets? How? Yes The property is located near a major highway with a strong network of streets surrounding the property making it appropriate for residential use. Additionally, the adjacent existing and proposed network of trails provide opportunities for residents to use multimodal transportation as does the Downtown route 520 Zone Map Amendment for Bridger Center 5 bus route with the stop located at the Filling Station. The existing street network coupled with the multimodal forms of transportation will lessen congestion in the streets. At the time of any development proposal detailed analysis of future traffic impacts will be studied and any mitigation required would need to be met prior to development proceeding. The City will be able to evaluate and require necessary work to ensure that development does not create hazardous conditions or degrade the function of streets below standards. This will occur during a more detailed evaluation during subdivision or site plan review. The specific zoning does not inherently create an increase or decrease in congestion in the streets. However, it can be surmised that a project with a more efficient use of land will lessen overall congestion in the streets due to the fact that less vehicle miles are traveled and proximity to housing provides for alternative transportation methods other than the automobile. b. Will the new zoning secure safety from fire panic and other dangers? How? Yes The new zoning does not differ significantly from the existing zoning when it comes to inherent dangers of fire or panic. As with all development review, criteria are in place that occur following zoning changes to ensure that any dangers of fire and/or panic are eliminated. There is existing street access located on the South end of the property. Additionally, the owner has secured a public easement suitable for emergency access connection onto Boylan Road to the North. To the East is a easement connecting to the Links development these connections will provide the necessary access points to secure safety from fire and panic and other dangers. c. Will the new zoning promote health, public saftey and general welfare? How? Yes The new zoning promotes the health and general welfare of the community by providing high density residential opportunities in close proximity to existing services such as park land, employment and shopping. Locating more residential density within the existing network of infrastructure will allow for more access to the residents of the community for walking and biking to work and other activities. d. Will the new zoning facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks, fire, police, and other public requirements? How? Yes Water: City water mains exist 130 feet to the north in Boylan Road, and 220 feet to the east in The Links Condominiums. Attached are a recorded 30’ wide utility easement to Boylan Road, and a 42’ wide public access and utility easement to The Links. The 42’ easement is in escrow as part of an agreement between the Applicant and Golf Course Partners, Inc. (GCP). The Applicant plans to use both connection points to loop a new water main through the property, which will be used for service connections and as a side benefit, will improve water system pressures and reliability. Sewer: A City sewer main exists 140’ to the north in Boylan Road. Attached is a recorded 30’ wide utility easement to Boylan Road. The Applicant plans to use this easement for a sewer main extension, with individual service connections, discharging to an existing manhole in Boylan Road. The existing sewer main has capacity to serve the property at the proposed zoning density. Fire: The property falls within the 4-minute response service boundary as indicated in the 2017 Fire and EMS Master Plan served by station 1 on Rouse and would also meet this for future station 1 location. 521 Zone Map Amendment for Bridger Center 6 Lacking a public or emergency access to Boylan Road, a long cul-de-sac street will be needed to develop the site. This was discussed with the Fire Department in 2016. The Department’s response was that a long cul-de-sac was acceptable for emergency access, as long as other requirements are met such as fire hydrant(s), adequate turn-around space, and possibly parking restrictions or turnouts if needed to ensure adequate access width. Streets and Transportation: Attached are recorded 30’ access easements to Commercial Drive 190’ to the south, and a 42’ wide public access and utility easement to The Links’ existing public access drive. The 42’ easement is in escrow as part of an agreement between the Applicant and Golf Course Partners, Inc. (GCP). The property is 1,100 feet from MT Hwy 86 (Bridger Drive), via The Links Condominiums and Birdie Drive. The subject property is proposed as R-1, so public access through The Links (residential R-3) is appropriate. Schools: The eventual development of the property would include residences requiring service of the school. The property currently falls within the Schools existing service area and the eventual density and number of potential students would not over-burden the District. Parks: The property is immediately adjacent to the East Gallatin Recreation area; its vast network of trail systems and connection to the Bozeman Beach will make it one of the most desirable locations for residences near a park. The future park planned for the Story Mill property will also service this residential neighborhood should it come to fruition. Police: The Bozeman Police Department has developed an extensive staffing plan that responds to this area with sufficient officers to serve the area. The 2007 public safety mill levy has provided for any additional staffing as may be required. It is important to remember that the nuances of planning and development of the site are provided for extensively in subsequent reviews that the Planning department, Design Review Committee and City commission will review. These include but are not limited to UDO provisions, Subdivision, Site Plan, and PUD. These review agencies will provide for additional considerations to the above criteria of water, sewer, schools, parks, fire, police, and others. e. Will the new zoning provide adequate light and air? How? Yes The new zoning does not differ significantly from the existing adjacent zoning in providing adequate light and air. The new zoning will provide adequate light and air through established development standards. f. Will the new zoning have an effect on the motorized and non-motorized transportation system? How? No The property is adjacent to significant transportation corridors for motorized transportation and given the lower density residential zoning designation that is being sought (R-1) the cumulative impact on this robust motorized transportation network will be minimal. Further the accommodations either developed or being developed for non-motorized transportation is significant and will further lessens the demand on the motorized transportation network. These 522 Zone Map Amendment for Bridger Center 7 include improvements to Rouse proposed by the MTDOT ,the additional trail network proposed with the Storymill park, and existing trail network that surrounds the property. g. Does the new zoning promote a compatible urban growth? How? Yes The new zoning will promote a compatible urban growth by first adding residential density in to a parcel that is fully surrounded by the City boundaries. Secondly the density being sought (R-1) is very compatible with the adjacent residential and with the added buffer of nearly 6+ acres of openspace / wetland mostly adjacent to the industrial uses a sound and compatible urban growth will be achieved. h. Does the new zoning promote the character of the district? How? Yes As mentioned above the property is currently surrounded by varied uses that include substantial park and openspace (PLI), a mix of both R-2 and R-3 uses adjacent to the North and East and to the South M-1. The current uses of the M-1 property is limited to small scale shops and includes some artisan manufacturing (coffee shop) that are very compatible with the proposed residential use. Further the buffer that will be created with the wetland / openspace will also enhance this relationship in the district. The residential adjacencies are all more intensive residential zone type and with the addition of the lower (R-1) residential zone type for this property it is expected that the residential character of the district will be preserved and enhanced.
