PROJECT SUMMARY
The Rosa Apartments Phase 2 and 3 site plan Site Plan application to allow the construction of
four 18-unit apartment buildings in two phases of the Rosa Apartments Master Site Plan area with
parking, open space, and associated site improvements. Seventy-two units will be constructed
with this application. The subject property is on Lot 1, Block 1 within the Traditions Phase 3
Subdivision.
The subject property is within the Traditions subdivision. Traditions subdivision is a three-phased
development consisting of single household detached dwellings, row houses, and phase 3
designed for multi-household development. Parkland, open space and the general vehicular and
pedestrian circulation system was set out through the subdivision process.
In June of 2017 the Rosa Master Site plan for the Rosa Apartment complex laying out building
locations, parking, residential open space locations, internal drive access, and a five-year
entitlement for the development was approved.
The Rosa Apartments Phase 1 site plan application to allow the construction of two (2) 18 unit
apartment buildings (36 dwelling units’ total), parking, open space, and associated site
improvements as part of the Rosa Apartment Master Site Plan was reviewed and approved
concurrently with the master site plan.
Subsequently, The City’s development code was revised requiring all unbuilt buildings to conform
the new development standards. In addition, all development within the City limits are subject to
Design Review Board purview if meeting the DRB review thresholds listed below. This
development triggers DRB review.
Sec. 38.230.040. - DRB review thresholds.
A. The review authorities are established in section 38.200.010 and as may be specified
elsewhere in this chapter.
B. The development review committee, design review board, and wetlands review board have the
advisory authority established in division 38.200 of this chapter.
C. DRB review thresholds. When a development is subject to design review and meets one or
more of the following thresholds the design review board must conduct the design review:
1. Forty-five or more dwelling units;
2. Thirty thousand or more square feet of office space, retail commercial space, service
commercial space or industrial space;
3. Four stories or more;
4. Twenty thousand or more square feet of exterior storage of materials or goods;

Yes Yes
Comments: A Traffic Impact Study is included with this application. 179
residential units will be constructed at full build out. 36 have been completed and
this application proposes an additional 72 to bring the total to 108.
Based on initial analysis, the City of Bozeman has requested additional
information regarding the traffic impacts from the Rosa Apartments residential
development in Bozeman. In the review letter dated February 8, 2017, the City
requested a review of the projected traffic impacts at the intersection of Durston
Road and Cottonwood Road with additional traffic from the Lakes at Valley West
Phases 3 & 4 to develop a 15-year traffic projection for the intersection. ATS
obtained data from the City of Bozeman regarding the Lakes at Valley West
project and updated the traffic calculations for the projected traffic volumes. The
developments taken into account for this project to develop the 15-year
projection now include the Rosa Apartments (194 units), the Valley West
subdivision (55 units), Phase III of the Boulder Creek Subdivision (115 units),
Westbrook Phases 1-3 (62 units), Westbrook Phase 4 Lot 5 (42 multi-family
units), and the Lakes at Valley West Phases 3 & 4 (62 units). This data was used to
recalculate the projected Level of Service at the Durston Road/Cottonwood Road
intersection. This analysis suggests that the intersection will still function at LOS
C with all of the developments anticipated in this area over the next 15 years. The
detailed LOS summary is shown in the following table. See the attached traffic
model and LOS calculations for more details.
Therefore, it is likely that the LOS issues projected by 2040 at this location will be
correctable with minor intersection improvements which will be identified in the
future. The City’s plan to improve all of Cottonwood Road to a five-lane facility is
appropriate based on the projected traffic volumes for this area. No additional
roadway improvements specific to the Rosa Apartments would be necessary to
address future traffic volumes.

Article 5, Compatibility, Design and Arrangement
Meets
Code?
The Rosa Apartment complex was contemplated and underwent a
master site plan and phase 1 site plan review and approval prior to
the adoption of the revised development code which includes Article
5. Therefore, certain design considerations and standards are not
subject to the new development code. Including internal sidewalk
width, circulation, infrastructure layout, open space locations, and
general building relationship.
The proposed apartment buildings are compatible with the general
pattern of development in the area by continuing the variable
density of residential development. There are a variety of home
styles with neighborhood and community facilities including parks,
streets, open space, and other amenities to support further
development. The architecture and building elements are equal to or
of higher quality than adjacent properties. The applicant responded
to staff direction to establish full street connectivity and circulation
for the development that is integrated in the neighborhood. The site
plan provides appropriate parking and denotes proper circulation.
The landscaping and non-vegetative landscape elements provide
