Report Date: December 6, 2018 Staff Contact: Danielle Garber, Community Development Assistant Planner Agenda Item Type: Action- Legislative 399 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 2 of 19 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Unresolved Issues None Project Summary The applicant, Bryan Klein, requests to amend the Bozeman Community Plan (Growth Policy) land use designation from Residential (22.94 acres) and Present Rural (137.57 acre) to Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (130.99 acres) and Community Commercial Mixed Use (29.51 acres) on one parcel totaling 160.51 acres. The site is adjacent to the new Bozeman Sports Park to the east, the new High School to the southeast, recently developed and existing residential neighborhoods to the south, and agriculture to the west and north. Baxter Creek runs north-south on the western portion of the site, with NRCS and GLWQD delineated wetlands on the west and central portions of the site. The current use is agricultural and residential, with a single-household residence, with several associated barns, sheds, and outbuildings. The Growth Policy calls for the development of land with the Present Rural land use designation to follow various paths. The applicant is pursuing the path for the land to “remain as currently underutilized until annexed and municipal services are available to support a Residential or other urban land use category development.” The first step of this process is the growth policy amendment request. The city has adopted facility plans for water, wastewater, and transportation, and the Capital Improvements Plan which identify the provision of services to this area, along with a schedule and funding source to construct these facilities. The 2016 Water Facility Plan Recommendations show water lines on all sides of the perimeter of the site. The City of Bozeman’s 2017-2021 Capital Improvements Program shows a Water Impact Fee funded line along Baxter Lane to the north. The CIP also shows arterial and collector improvements along Cottonwood and Oak Street to the east of the site. Submitted shortly after the growth policy amendment request was a request for annexation and zoning, which will move forward if this request is approved. Appendix E provides notice of substantive issues that will be addressed with future applications and development of the area. Planning Board On December 4 following a public hearing, the Planning Board unanimously adopted (5-0) the recommended motion recommending approval of the application. Several Planning Board members expressed support for the motion by citing the need for a new commercial node that will provide services to a rapidly growing area of town, where the community is 400 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 3 of 19 investing in schools, parks and infrastructure. The consensus of the board was that the mixed-use designations were appropriate to allow for the creation of commercial services mixed with varied types of residential, as well as the opportunity to preserve wetlands and stream corridors for public use. There was discussion on the impact of greenfield development and preserving Gallatin Valley’s agricultural character and lifestyles. The video of the meeting is available at https://media.avcaptureall.com/session.html?sessionid=deb34385-d5b0-4f4a-8df0-cd7156d103b9&prefilter=654,3835 Alternatives 1. Approve the application with the recommended contingencies; 2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended contingencies; 3. Deny the application based on the Planning Board’s findings of non-compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or 4. Open and continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items.

Page 7 of 19 SECTION 2 - RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES OF APPROVAL If the Planning Board recommends approval of the application, the following contingencies are recommended. Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the processing of the proposed amendment. Recommended Contingencies of Approval: 1. The applicant shall submit, within forty-five (45) days of approval by the City Commission, an 8½- x 11-inch or 8½- x 14-inch exhibit titled “2018 NW Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment” to the Department of Community Development containing an accurate description of the property for which the growth policy designation is being amended. The exhibit must be acceptable to the Department of Community Development. 2. The resolution for the growth policy amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant provides an exhibit of the area to be re-designated, which will be utilized in the preparation of the resolution to officially amend the Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman Community Plan. SECTION 3 - RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUTURE ACTIONS Having considered the criteria established for a growth policy map amendment, the Staff recommends approval with contingencies for the application as submitted. The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the amendment on October 24, 2018. DRC comments included indication of city services being available or planned, the presence of good transportation corridors adjacent to the property, procedures (growth policy amendment, then zoning and annexation), and the requirement for a master plan or PUD prior to development within the Residential Emphasis Mixed Use zoning designation. The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on December 4, 2018 to make a recommendation to the City Commission for the growth policy map amendment. The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the growth policy map amendment on December 17, 2018. The hearing will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. SECTION 4 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS 405 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 8 of 19 Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials, municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review. In considering applications for approval under this title, the advisory boards and City Commission shall consider the following criteria. 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. To reach a favorable decision on the proposed application the City Commission must find that the application meets all of criteria 1-4 of Section 17.4, Bozeman Community Plan Amendment procedures. In making these findings, they may identify that there are some negative elements within a specific criteria with the final balance being a positive outcome for approval. Section 17.4, Bozeman Community Plan Amendment Criteria. 1. The proposed amendment must cure a deficiency in the growth policy, or improve the growth policy, to better respond to the needs of the general community; Staff first reviewed the proposal for its ability to cure a deficiency. As the City is currently in the early stages of updating the 2009 growth policy, staff included the recent City commissioned study titled Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to better understand how the community is changing and establish projections for population growth, housing needs, and land use designations. The EPS report is the most current City data regarding land use needs. This helps to determine if the proposal is curing a deficiency or improving the growth policy through the requested amendment. The EPS study projects needs for different land uses and indicates that the Bozeman market will need 12,700 new housing units from 2017 to 2045, with an average of 500 units being constructed per year until 2030. The study projects that residential land demand will be 151 - 256 acres until 2020 and 477 - 808 acres from 2021 to 2030. The proposal would designate 131 acres as Residential Emphasis Mixed Use, which would help the City to accommodate the projected growth and acreage needed to keep up with demand. Additionally, the study projects the need for an additional 6.3 million square feet of commercial construction in Bozeman from 2017 to 2045. This results in a need of 505 acres of commercial land until 2045, with an average of 18 acres needed annually. The proposal includes 29.5 acres of Community Commercial Mixed Use land which will help accommodate the projected land needed for commercial uses as Bozeman continues to grow. 406 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 9 of 19 Staff also reviewed the application to determine whether the proposal would result in an improved growth policy which better responds to the needs of the general community. The site is adjacent to the current city limits on two sides and is located near new facilities such as the high school and sports park. Thus, development within the site would create residential and commercial centers that are walkable and bikeable to/from these amenities and would capitalize on city services and transportation corridor plans in the area. Placement of commercial nodes are an essential organizing principle of the City’s land use planning. See chapter 3 of the growth policy for full details. Presently, there is a deficiency in available nodes in the area. A small node at the intersection of Annie Street and Laurel Parkway was removed. The recent placement of the second high school to the southeast and the development of several high intensity residential developments to the south provide key market support for locating a commercial node as proposed with this application. The proposed REMU and CCMU designation will allow for a variety of development types and densities, it will improve the growth policy by addressing the current growth and development in the area that may not have been apparent while updating the 2009 growth policy. As shown at right, many of the surrounding parcels of land were unannexed at the time of the last growth policy update. Additionally, City services are either readily available for extension to the property or planned for extension in the future. The City has adopted facility plans for Water, Wastewater, and Transportation, as well as the Capital Improvements Plan which is updated annually. All of these plans identify the provision of services to this area, and in the case of the Capital Improvements Plan a schedule and funding source to construct these facilities. The subject site would capitalize on direct access to city services and significant transportation grid components, including the intersection of two existing Principal Arterials (Oak Street and Cottonwood Road). It also lies adjacent to a Minor Arterial (Baxter Lane) and a Collector, Laurel Glen Parkway. The current Capital Improvements 2004 2015 2018 2012 2001 2013 2005 Subject Property Map of Annexations by Year 407 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 10 of 19 Plan identifies the following improvements to be completed and the year in which they are scheduled as the following: 1. Oak/Cottonwood Intersection in fiscal year 2020 2. Cottonwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane in fiscal year 2023 3. Baxter/Cottonwood Intersection in fiscal year 2023. Cottonwood Road will eventually provide access to the new Bozeman Sports Park currently being constructed along the east boundary providing a prime opportunity for growth in this area. Due to these factors, the existing road network and provisions to expand the transportation facilities to serve this project in the future appear to be in place. Staff finds the proposed modification improves the growth policy to better respond to the needs of the general community by addressing real-world, site specific opportunities and constraints. It also improves the growth policy by locating a commercial node in a presently underserved area. 2. The proposed amendment does not create inconsistencies within the growth policy, either between the goals and the maps or between different goals and objectives. The 2009 Bozeman Community Plan Growth was created to “proactively and creatively address issues of development and change while protecting public health, safety and welfare.” While the plan outlines goals and implementation strategies to guide development, some conditions and factors have changed in the past nine years, and the intent of the policy is to provide for some flexibility to address these changes. When looking at the GPA proposal only, and not taking any proposed site plan-related development into account, several goals and objectives within the growth policy support this proposal, including: • Objective G-2.3: Strive to maintain a balanced supply of land for the variety of uses necessary to support a vigorous city. • Objective LU-4.10: Encourage development throughout Gallatin County to occur within existing municipalities and support the local ability to address and manage change and growth. • Goal ED-1: Promote and encourage the continued development of Bozeman as a vital economic center. • Objective ED-1.1: Support business creation, retention, and expansion. Emphasize small businesses, ‘green’ businesses, and e-businesses. • Objective ED-1.2: Coordinate the provision of infrastructure necessary to support economic development. 408 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 11 of 19 • Goal LU-2: Designate centers for commercial development rather than corridors to encourage cohesive neighborhood development in conjunction with non-motorized transportation options. • Objective LU-2.2: Provide for a limited number of carefully sited regional service centers which are appropriately sized and serviced by adequate infrastructure. • Objective LU-4.6: All mixed use areas should be developed on a grid of connectivity, including streets, alleys, driveways, and parking areas that contain multimodal facilities and a high level of connectivity to adjacent development. Shared use, underground, or other structured parking is recommended to reduce surface parking area. • Objective H-1.1 - Encourage and support the creation of a broad range of housing types in proximity to services and transportation options. • Objective RCC-2.5: Work with School District 7 to coordinate future school locations and development to integrate with the City’s transportation network, location of residences, and location and use of public parks. Some of the goals and objectives do not support this proposal, including: • Objective RA-1.1: Changes from Suburban Residential and Present Rural should occur with the regular five year review period revisions rather than individual amendments unless an extremely compelling case can be made for significant public benefit from the amendment. Other categories can be the subject of an amendment in connection with any Commission selected schedule. Objective C-1.3: Support compatible infill within the existing area of the City rather than developing land requiring expansion of the City’s area. • Objective ED-2.2: Support the preservation of Gallatin County’s historic agricultural character and rural lifestyle. Although there is tension between some goals and objectives, the policy also highlights the need for balance, stating, “A growth policy must balance consistency and responsiveness to the needs of the community… If the policy is not responsive, policies and actions are continued that are no longer addressing community needs, frustration within the community is caused, and correct guidance for future actions isn’t provided.” Staff has evaluated where a balance between the various goals and objectives rests. The area of the project is within the City’s long range utility and transportation plans and is to be served in the future. The ongoing growth policy update has extended beyond the 5 year review cycle as is allowed. With this in mind, the site-specific circumstances including the surrounding land uses, proximity to major transportation infrastructure, and provision of municipal services, as well as the additional economic development potential that is supported by several goals and objectives, provide a sufficiently compelling case for 409 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 12 of 19 changing the Residential and Present Rural designation to Residential Emphasis Mixed Use and Community Commercial Mixed Use. The growth policy provides three paths for changing land uses designated as Present Rural, with the City’s preferred path being, “Remain as currently utilized, until annexed and municipal services are available to support a Residential or other urban land use category development.” Annexation and extension of municipal services is proposed in this case, with the first step being a growth policy amendment. The amendment therefore is consistent with intent of the growth policy as it applies to development of lands designated as Present Rural. The resulting changes to the map comply with the applicable goals and objectives of the growth policy for urban development and expansion of the City. 3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy. The overall intent of the growth policy is to look forward, ensuring that as change occurs, the things that the community values most remain and thrive (page 1-1). See also the vision statement in Section 1.2. The proposed growth policy amendment designates land for residential and mixed use development that is in demand as the city continues to grow. The site is located near compatible land uses, community parks, schools, and established transportation corridors, with public facilities scheduled to be expanded to meet the needs of the site. Future development is not expected to compromise any of the community’s best aspects or values, particularly with the controls in place (zoning, subdivision review, utility extension requirements) to manage land use change. The proposal enables continued urban development within the City on municipal services. 4. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the community as a whole or significant portion by: a) Significantly altering land use patterns and principles in a manner contrary to those established by this plan, The proposed map amendment will make minor alterations to land use patterns and principles, and is in alignment with the overall goals and intent of the community. The property is contiguous to the City on two sides, places a new commercial node in a desirable location, provides for the logical expansion of utilities, parks, and transportation, and provides for a variety of housing and commercial development. b) Requiring unmitigated larger or more expensive improvements to streets, water, sewer, or other public facilities or services, thereby impacting development of other lands, 410 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 13 of 19 No negative impacts to other lands or the community as a whole are anticipated as a result of the proposed growth policy amendment. The site is within the planned service area for municipal utilities and the capital improvement plan includes expansion of services and roadways in the area. Future development will require municipal review for impacts and specifics for improvements and connecting to services will be outlined and evaluated at that time. Appendix E provides early notice to any future developer that there are necessary infrastructure issues to be resolved prior to or concurrently with development. These will be adequately addressed through annexation agreement, subdivision, and site review. Therefore, there will not be adverse impacts from this amendment. c) Adversely impact existing uses because of unmitigated greater than anticipated impacts on facilities and services, No adverse impacts have been identified at this time. Additional review will occur during site development and mitigation of any potentially adverse impacts will be required at that time, as required by municipal code. The proposed zoning which will follow if this application is approved is more intensive than originally expected during the facility planning process. Currently, city sewer service capacity is limited in the area, with capital improvements scheduled for 2020. The City is actively pursuing solutions to provide service to the area, and funding is allocated for this project. The City can limit the intensity of development to that used in the facility planning process until such time as additional capacity is made available. Therefore, there will not be adverse impact on existing uses. d) Negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of the residents. Designation of this site as Residential Emphasis Mixed Use and Community Commercial Mixed Use is compatible with surrounding land uses and should not negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of residents. The commercially designated area will be separated from the residential area to the south by Oak Street, a major arterial street. Streets will also separate the site on the east and north from other users. The City often uses roads as separators between uses as they which provide an inherent transition area. The City has adopted development standards which control mass, scale, design, and intensity of development so that dissimilar uses can be located in near proximity or contiguous. The City’s standards prevent offsite impacts from development damaging adjacent agricultural land and uses. The land use change would allow for a community service center with additional residential opportunities to meet the expanding demands of the city. Therefore, no negative impacts on livability or health and safety are identified. 411 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 14 of 19 APPENDIX A - PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The property is zoned by Gallatin County as Agriculture Suburban. The property to the north is also zoned Agriculture Suburban. The Applicant is proposing to change the zoning of this property to REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed Use) and Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU). This request will be reviewed if the commission approves the GPA. The property has historically been used for residential and agriculture. Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The following designations are applicable to this application. Existing – Residential. The growth policy states, “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 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…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.” Existing – Present Rural. The growth policy states, “This category designates areas where development is considered to be generally inappropriate over the 20 year term of the Bozeman Community plan, either because of natural features, negative impacts on the desired development pattern, or significant difficulty in providing urban services…Development within the Present Rural area would be generally disruptive to the desired compact urban land use pattern depicted in the Plan. As Bozeman develops over time, it is expected that the City will expand outward into areas previously designated as present rural.” The growth policy provides three paths for changing land uses designated as Present Rural, with the City’s preferred path being, “Remain as currently utilized, until annexed and municipal services are available to support a Residential or other urban land use category development.” Annexation and extension of municipal services is proposed in this case, with the first step being a growth policy amendment. 412 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 15 of 19 Proposed – Residential Emphasis Mixed Use. The Residential Mixed-Use category “promotes neighborhoods with supporting services that are substantially dominated by housing. A diversity of residential housing types should be built on the majority of any area within this category. Housing choice for a variety of households is desired and can include attached and small detached single-household dwellings, apartments, and live-work units. Residences should be included on the upper floors of buildings with ground floor commercial uses…The category is appropriate near commercial centers and larger areas should have access on collector and arterial streets. Multi-household higher density urban development is expected. Any development within this category should have a well integrated transportation and open space network which encourages pedestrian activity and provides ready access within and to adjacent development.” Proposed – Community Commercial Mixed Use. The growth policy states that, “activities within this land use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community. Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their employee and customer base and are sized accordingly. A broad range of functions including retail, education, professional and personal services, offices, residences, and general service activities typify this designation. In the “center-based” land use pattern, Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are integrated with significant transportation corridors, including transit and non-automotive routes, to facilitate efficient travel opportunities. The density of development is expected to be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings…High density residential areas are expected in close proximity. Including residential units on sites within this category, typically on upper floors, will facilitate the provision of services and opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile… Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated, pedestrian friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single land use. Higher intensity employment and residential uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant streets and intersections. As needed, building height transitions should be provided to be compatible with adjacent development.” Future Land Use Map. This map is a synthesis of many different ideas, public input, existing conditions, and existing and desired land use patterns for the future. The map is the visual representation of the land use patterns and ideas discussed in this chapter, and elsewhere throughout this document. The map shows in a very broad manner acceptable uses and locations throughout the community. It does not represent a commitment by the City to approve every development proposed within each category. Neither does a designation indicate that a property is free from constraints to development. 413 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 16 of 19 The map and other elements of this plan must be weighed and evaluated in conjunction with the specific details of a proposed project which are beyond the scope of this plan but will be addressed through the implementation tools discussed in Chapter 16 and Appendix I. The provisions of any intergovernmental agreement between the City and County regarding land use will influence the final development pattern with the defined planning area. This plan looks at a twenty-year horizon as well as the current situation, so it is to be expected that some areas which are not in conformance with the plan will be identified. This plan recognizes the presence of these uses without specifically mapping or otherwise identifying them. It is desired that these anomalies be resolved over the term of this plan so that the land use pattern identified herein may be completed. APPENDIX B - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Description A growth policy amendment proposal to revise the future land use map from Residential and Present Rural to Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (130.99 acres) and Community Commercial Mixed Use (29.51 acres) on 160.51 total acres plus adjacent public rights-of-way. The site is in an area that is growing and developing, with the new Bozeman Sports Park, the new High School, and recently developed and existing residential neighborhoods nearby. Baxter Creek runs north-south on the western portion of the site, with wetlands on the west and central portions of the site. These water features would be required to be mitigated through site plan review in the future. The current use is agricultural and residential, with a single-family residence, with several associated barn, shed, and outbuildings located on site. The applicant is proposing to amend the growth policy to designate the property as Residential Emphasis Mixed Use and Community Commercial Mixed Use. If approved, later steps would include annexation and a zone map amendment, followed by any applicable PUDs, master plans, or site plans for development. The city has adopted facility plans for water, wastewater, and transportation, and the Capital Improvements Plan which identify the provision of services to this area, along with a schedule and funding source to construct these facilities. The 2016 Water Facility Plan Recommendations show water line on all sides of the perimeter of the site. The City of Bozeman’s 2017-2021 Capital Improvements Program shows a Water Impact Fee line along Baxter Lane to the north. The CIP also shows arterial and collector improvements along Cottonwood to the east of the site. 414 18-450, Staff Report for the Corner of Cottonwood and Oak Growth Policy Amendment. Page 17 of 19 APPENDIX C – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT Notice was sent via US first class mail to all owners of property located inside the site and within 200 feet of the perimeter of the site. The project site was posted with a copy of the notice. The notice was published in the Legal Ads section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on November 20, 2018. The Planning Board public hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2018 and the City Commission public hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2018. No public comment has been received as of the writing of this report. APPENDIX D - OWNER INFORMATION AND REVIEWING STAFF Owners: Baxter Ranch Holding LTD and Estate of Vesta F. Anderson, PO Box 3253, Billings, MT 59103 Applicant: Bryan Klein, PO Box 11890, Bozeman, MT 59719 Representative: Kilday & Stratton, 2880 Technology Blvd W, Bozeman, MT 59718 Report By: Danielle Garber, Community Development Assistant Planner APPENDIX E – ADVISORY COMMENTS The following are provided to identify issues that will be addressed at the time of future annexation and land development. These issues will be reviewed and required mitigation of impacts will reflect the circumstances and planning documents in existence at the time of review. 1.

Intersection improvements to West Oak Street and Harper Puckett Road k. Intersection improvements to West Oak Street and North Laurel Parkway The applicant may obtain a copy of the template SID waiver from the City Engineering Department (Griffin Nielsen). The document filed must specify that in the event an SID is not utilized for the completion of these improvements, the applicant agrees to participate in an alternate financing method for the completion of said improvements on a fair share, proportionate basis as determined by square footage of property, taxable valuation of the property, traffic contribution from the development, or a combination thereof. The applicant must provide a copy of the SID waiver filed with the County Clerk and Recorder per the time describe within the annexation agreement. 3. The applicant must execute at the Gallatin County Clerk & Recorder’s Office in conjunction with the annexation, a waiver of right-to-protest creation of a City-wide Park District, which would provide a mechanism for the fair and equitable assessment of maintenance costs for City parks as part of the Annexation Agreement. 4. BMC 38.410.130.C allows for deferment of cash-in-lieu of water rights or transfer of water rights for vacant land when the annexation is in excess of ten acres. The applicant must provide water rights and/or payment of cash-in-lieu of water rights upon future development. The City is aware the property has existing water rights and will require rights at the time the transfer is due. 5. Future development relies on a number of sanitary sewer infrastructure pieces defined in the City Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan including proposed Davis Lane Lift Station, Norton East Ranch Outfall Interceptor/or an alternative solutions, the built out of the Aajker Creek Basin/and Gooch Hill Lift Station to be in place to serve the whole of the property. Development within the property will not be permitted until the subsequent infrastructure has been constructed to serve the portion of the property. 6.

Narra$ve A. Project Overview This applicaon is a request to amend the Future Lan d Use Map of the City of Bozeman Community Plan through a Growth Policy Map Amendment (GPMA). The subject property encompasses 160.507 acres of land, generally located at the northwest corner of West Oak Street and Co<onwood Road. The subject property is currently zoned AS (Agriculture- Suburban), it lies within the Gallan County “donut” area surr ounding Bozeman and has yet to be annexed by the City. The current Bozeman Community Plan was approved in 2009. The Land Use Designaon for this property, ap proximately 22.94 acres, is Residenal and the remainder of the property, approx imately 137.567 acres, is designated as Present Rural. This applicaon proposes to chan ge the exisng land uses to 130.994 acres to Residen$al Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) and 29.513 acres to Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU), please see a<ached Exhibits. The applicant will also propose annexaon and a zone map amendment in conju ncon with this GPMA. The intent of REMU is to ‘promote neighborhoods with supporng services that are substanally dominated by housing’. Addionally, the CCMU designaon should include the ‘basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community’. Both REMU and CCMU focus on mul-modal transportaon opportunies and strong connecons both within the site and to adjacent sites. The area’s proximity to major transportaon corridors, adjacent neighborhoods, the new High School make it a viable candidate for the proposed GPMA. Amending the land use designaon for this property is a logical extension of the current growth and development pa<ern occurring in the vicinity of the site. The site is adjacent to the new Bozeman Sports Park, the new High School and exisng and recently constructed 427 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 5 or planned residenal neighborhoods. The site is al so located on a major transportaon corridor at the intersecon of two principal arteri als (West Oak Street and Co<onwood Road). This GPMA will establish a versale commerci al node to replace a smaller commercial node displaced by the new high school and provide flexibility in the future development of the property. Serving the neighborhoods within approximately a one-mile radius, this area is well suited to provide a desn aon center and a visible identy to this newly developing neighborhood. While the Community Plan is in place to be a proacv e tool to address development, it is also meant to adapt by looking forward to shape development based on the priories of the community and promong economic development. Th e Land Use Designaon for this property provides a small poron along Co<onwood Ro ad with a residenal designaon and the remainder of the property designated at Present Rural. The 2009 Plan calls for the development of land “in the Present Rural land use designaon to follow one of three paths which are listed in order of the City’s preference: 1. Remain as currently ulized, unl annexed and mu nicipal services are available to support a Residenal or other urban land use catego ry development as described in this plan. The change in designaon will require a n amendment to the growth policy; 2. Develop at a density of single dwelling per exisng parcel, with consolidaon of smaller parcels into single ownership prior to development; or 3. If further subdivision is proposed, to develop at urban densies and standards with provisions for connecon to City services when they become available.” This applicaon is proposing to move forward with t he first path. Since the approval of the current Bozeman Community Plan the City has adopted facility plans for Water, Wastewater, and Transportaon, as well as the Capital Improvements Plan which is updated annually. All of these plans idenfy the p rovision of services to this area, and in 428 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 6 the case of the Capital Improvements Plan a schedule and funding source to construct these facilies. For official reference, the subject property is legally described as follows: Tract 5 of COS 2552, Located in NE1/4 of section 4, T2S, R5E AND A descripon of land being the NE ¼ of Secon 4 als o known as Tract 5 of Cerficate of Survey No. 2552; located in the NE ¼ of Secon 4, T ownship 2 South, Range 5 East, Principal Meridian, Gallan County, Montana, more p arcularly described as follows: Beginning at the Northeast Corner of Secon 4 as de scribed in Cerfied Corner Record Book 1, Page 498 doc. # 22437, also being the Southeast Corner of Tract 1 of Cerficate of Survey No. 2553, the Point of Beginning; thence S.2°16’25”W. along the line between Secon 4 and Secon 3 a distance of 2627.49 feet to the East ¼ Corner of Secon 4 as described in Cerfied Corner Record Book 2, Page 251 doc. # 153209; thence N.89°13’13”W. along the mid-secon line of Secon 4 a distance of 2649.87 f eet to the Center ¼ Corner of Secon 4 as described in Cerfied Corner Record Book 2, Page 1427 doc. # 336115, also being the Southeast Corner of Tract 4 of Cerficate of Survey No. 2552; thence N.1°42’36”E. along said Tract 4 of Cerficate of Survey No. 2552 a distance of 2625.17 feet to the North ¼ Corner of Secon 4 as described in Cerfied Corner R ecord Book 3, Page 922 doc. # 2294184 also being the Southwest Corner of Tract 1 of Cerficate of Survey No. 2553; thence S.89°15’30”E along the line between Secon 4 and Secon 33 a distance of 2675.75 feet to the Point of Beginning. The area of the above described parcel of land is 160.507 acres, more or less 429 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 7 B. Responses to Growth Policy Amendment Criteria 1. The proposed amendment cures a deficiency in the growth policy or results in an improved growth policy which beCer responds to the needs of the general community. This GPMA will improve the growth policy and the overall land use of the subject site by providing an appropriate and immediate response to the growth being experienced in the district surrounding the site. Currently the site is designated Present Rural, which is the predominant designaon of parcels across the “donut ”. Present Rural is comprised of parcels in a variety of sizes, but typically in larger sizes, like the 160.507 acre subject site. Present Rural is generally a designaon assigned to these larger parcels, that are found beyond the edges of the City limits and ready to be annexed. It is ulized to prevent areas of agricultural and rural lands from being developed as isolated or low density pockets of development without the benefit of the city services. The subject site is not isolated and would in fact capitalize on direct access to city services and significant transportaon grid components, including the intersecon of two exisng Principal Arterials (Oak Street and Co<onwood Road). It also lies adjacent to a Minor Arterial (Baxter Lane) and a Collector, Laurel Glen Parkway. The current Capital Improvements Plan idenfies the following improvements to be completed and the year in which they are scheduled: 1. Oak/Co<onwood Intersecon in fiscal year 2020 2. Co<onwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane in fiscal year 2023 3. Baxter/Co<onwood Intersecon in fiscal year 2023. The south half of Oak Street to the west of Co<onwood already exists along the south boundary of the property and Baxter Lane exists to a county road standard along the north boundary of the property. The Transportaon Master Plan idenfies Oak Street and Co<onwood Road as Principal Arterials, Baxter Lane as a Minor Arterial, and Laurel 430 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 8 Parkway as a collector indicang that all of these roadways play a significant role as the City grows to the west. Co<onwood Road will eventually provide access to the new Bozeman Sports Park currently being constructed along the east boundary providing a prime opportunity for growth in this area. The exisng road network and provisions to expand the transportaon facilies to serve this pr oject are in place. The GPMA proposed will convert the site to a combinaon of REMU (130.994 acres) and CCMU (29.513 acres). These land use designaons wil l support future zoning designaons that support and improve upon the growth policy by allowing flexibility, and the ability to respond to site specific condions and opportunies as the city grows and develops into this area. REMU and CCMU will allow for a variety of development types and densies with thoughLul delineaon of connected spaces, that are walkable and bikeable to/from internal and adjacent neighborhood centers and result in local services for the area including the High School and Bozeman Sports Park. The Growth Plan does allow for adaptaon and evolu on when applying its standards. While the site is designated Present Rural, the Growth Policy states its annexaon may be unlikely, this statement is based on the presumpon that Present Rural parcels may be disconnected and/or do not have access to significant exisng transportaon corridors and municipal services. That is not the case with this subject site and this GPMA is consistent with the current land use pa<erns and growth being experienced in the surrounding area. This GPMA will establish this area as a desnaon w ithin the local neighborhood and improves the growth policy by being able to adapt and address the current, site specific opportunies that may not have been apparent at the me the Growth Policy was last updated in 2009. As menoned previously, this applicaon proposes to move forward with the first path described in the Growth Policy for addressing changes to Present Rural. The City has adopted facility plans for Water, Wastewater, and Transportaon, as well as the Capital 431 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 9 Improvements Plan which is updated annually. All of these plans idenfy the provision of services to this area, and in the case of the Capital Improvements Plan a schedule and funding source to construct these facilies. The fa cility planning in place and capital improvements scheduled for this area detail a planned pathway for growth in this area. City services are either readily available for extension to the property or planned in the near future. The Bozeman City Plan is being updated will most definitely idenfy this area for urban growth. As recommended in the exisng Bo zeman City Plan the applicant to change in designaon by amendment to the growth pol icy to allow annexaon and zoning. 2. The proposed amendment does not create inconsistencies within the growth policy, either between the goals and the map or between goals; If inconsistencies are iden$fied then the addi$onal changes must be provided to remove the inconsistencies. The GPMA proposed will enhance the Growth Policy by extending and applying its goals and objecves to this area, filling in gaps and correcng current inconsistencies experienced on site. This GPMA builds upon the goals of the growth policy and maintains its values through the establishment of a flexible mixed use development and a commercial node that will compliment the adjacent uses, capitalize on exisng roadways and corridors, and connect to exisng infrastructure . Further, this GPMA allows the growth policy to look forward and respond to the site specific circumstances now being realized in this area of the City as the community grows. Outlined below are some of specific goals and objecves from the growth policy that support t his GPMA. Goal LU-2: Designate Centers for commercial development rather than corridors to encourage cohesive neighborhood development in conjunc*on with non-motorized transporta*on op*ons. Objec*ve LU-2.1 : Locate high density community scale service centers on a one mile radius, and neighborhood service centers on a one-half mile radius, to facilitate the efficient use of transporta*on and public services in providing employment, residen*al, and other essen*al uses Objec*ve LU-2.2: Provide for a limited number of carefully sited regional service 432 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 10 centers which are appropriately sized and serviced by adequate infrastructure The approval of this GPMA will pave the way for the establishment of a neighborhood scale commercial development and follow a center based development pa<ern. This type of land use is needed in the area, currently the closest commercial designaons are located in what is now the new High School campus and NW of the intersecon of Baxter and Davis. The High School will remove the potenal for commercial development on that parcel and the Baxter-Davis locaon, approximately 0 .6 miles east of the site, is being developed as almost exclusively residenal. While t here are some commercial services located there, the majority of the +/- 80 acres is not being developed as commercial extensive enough to be considered a true community commercial node. The next closest commercial area is approximately one mile south of the site at Co<onwood and Babcock. This is a smaller node that connects to a corridor of commercial with several car dealerships. This property site is also well suited to meet Objecve LU-2.2 given its service by two principal arterials and proximity to adjacent residenal development. City services are either readily available for extension to the property or planned in the near future. The Bozeman Community Plan is currently being updated and will most certainly idenfy this area for urban growth. As recommended in the exis ng Community Plan the applicant proposes a change in designaon by amending the gro wth policy to then allow annexaon and zoning of the project site. Objec*ve LU-4.10: Encourage development throughout Galla*n County to occur within exis*ng municipali*es and support the local ability to address and manage change and growth This GPMA is an example of the growth policy being adaptable and able to respond to the changing landscape of the City, current development pa<erns in the surrounding area and manage future growth as the City expands. It is an opportunity to influence the growth 433 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 11 being experienced in the NW area of the City and establish a neighborhood commercial desnaon around this district by complimenng the High School, Bozeman Sports Park and exisng and future residenal development. The combinaon of REMU and CCMU land use designaons allow flexibility in developing this area as the market changes but sll ensure the character of the area has a residen al emphasis. REMU specifically allows mulple avenues for the development of commercial a nd support services in conjuncon with a diversity of residenal development opons. Goal C-1: Human Scale and Compa*bility — Create a community composed of neighborhoods designed for the human scale and compa*bility in which the streets and buildings are properly sized within their context, services and ameni*es are convenient, visually pleasing, and properly integrated. Objec*ve C-1.4: Achieve an environment through urban design that maintains and enhances the City’s visual quali*es within neighborhood, community and regional commercial areas. Underlying zoning of REMU and CCMU both focus on human scale and compability ] for this district. Both designaons underscore center b ased land use, the importance of mul modal transportaon and walkability, and a diversit y of uses and/or housing types. All uses are to compliment exisng and planned residen al development in the area and emphasize human scale. Through a subsequent Annexaon and a Zone Map Amendment, the applicant intends to pursue REMU and B-2M zoning respecvely. Future development for these districts will require master site planning, site plans and other significant municipal review to ensure that the design and circulaon support and enhance the City’s vision while establishing a neighborhood commercial node and residenal district. Goal C-3: Neighborhood Design – New neighborhoods shall be pedestrian oriented, contain a variety of housing types and densi*es, contain parks and other public spaces, 434 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 12 have a commercial center and defined boundaries. Objec*ve C-3.3: Establish minimum residen*al densi*es in new and redeveloping residen*al areas. Objec*ve C-3.4: Create neighborhood Commercial Centers that will provide uses to meet consumer demands from surrounding Residen*al Districts for everyday goods and services, and will be a pedestrian oriented place that serves as a focal point for the surrounding neighborhoods. The intent of REMU is to ‘promote neighborhoods with supporng services that are substanally dominated by housing’ while CCMU shoul d include the ‘basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community’. The proposed GPMA will create a new residenal area that embodies these goals and objec ves. Objec*ve H-1.1: Encourage and support the crea*on of a broad range of housing types in proximity to services and transporta*on op*ons. Objec*ve H-3.1: Encourage the provision of affordable housing REMU is meant to establish areas that are mixed use in character and provide opons for a variety of housing. This is accomplished through diverse housing opons, vercal and horizontal mix of commercial and residenal and ped estrian oriented spaces. REMU is appropriate in sites of at least five acres and adjacent to exisng or planned residenal areas. The flexibility with respect to the amount, type and density of residenal in REMU will allow the applicant to develop this project and develop residenal products in a variety of ways that respond to community need. This flexible approach combined with the affordable housing provisions of the UDC will result in a broad range of housing types for this project site long term. Goal ED-1: Promote and encourage the con*nued development of Bozeman as a vital economic center. Objec*ve ED-1.2: Coordinate the provision of infrastructure necessary to support 435 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 13 economic development. The establishment of a neighborhood commercial node in this locaon will support new economic development in the area. This locaon will be a visible desnaon in the district, along with the High School and Bozeman Sports Park, while simultaneously providing the commercial infrastructure to encourage economic ac vity. Goal R-1: Provide for accessible, desirable, and adequately maintained public parks, open spaces, trail systems, and recrea*onal facili*es for residents of the community. Objec*ve R-1.12: Use parks and open space to protect cri*cal and sensi*ve lands. Objec*ve R-1.13: Use parks and recrea*on facili*es as community design features such as a neighborhood focal point. Wetlands and the associated 50 foot setbacks account for approximately 26 acres of the project site, including those associated with Baxter Creek where it crosses the property. The applicant intends to protect the wetlands and associated buffer zones, while ulizing and incorporang them into the overall neighborhood design. The wetlands will establish focal features while contribung to the establishme nt of circulaon pa<erns and access throughout the development. While mulple goals and objecves support this GPMA, the applicant acknowledges that there are also goals that do not. Specifically: Goal RA-1: Coordinate amendments to balance responsiveness and predictability, facilitate public involvement, and conserve resources. Objec*ve RA-1.1: Changes from Suburban Residen*al and Present Rural should occur with the regular five year review period revisions rather than individual amendments unless an extremely compelling case can be made for significant public benefit from the amendment. Other categories can be the subject of an amendment in connec*on with any Commission selected schedule. The applicant feels that there are site specific condions that make this project a viable 436 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 14 GPMA candidate. Further, this is a GPMA for a large parcel rather than mulple, small changes and the applicant proposes to move forward with a path that is outlined in the Growth Policy for a change in designaon of Present Rural. The project site is also currently only parally designated Present Rural, with porons of it (22.94 acres) designated as Residenal. The Growth Policy had its most recent review and revision in 2009. Given the development pa<ern occurring in the surrounding area, a change in designaon may have been realized since the 2009 update if a review and revision had been performed in 2014. 3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy. The overall intent of the Growth Policy is to “look forward and ensure that as change occurs the things that the community values most are able to remain and thrive”. This GPMA is consistent with the intent by responding to the growth and development pa<ern occurring in the area. This designaon change will reinforce the intent by designang much needed land for residenal and mixed use development that is surrounded by community parks, area schools, established neighborhoods, established transportaon corridors and is scheduled to be served by public facilies. The fut ure development intent is to provide homes, services and commercial desnaon node for th is project and the surrounding area. This will require addional municipal review in the form of subdivision review, master site plan and site plan review to ensure that the community’s values and goals are not compromised. 4. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the community as a whole or significant por$on by: i. Significantly altering acceptable exis$ng and future land use paCerns, as defined in the text and maps of the plan The GPMA as proposed supports and enhances the Growth Plan by supporng the current pa<ern of development and land uses in the area. It does not significantly alter acceptable land use pa<erns and will compliment and enhance future growth of the area. This GPMA brings the site into compliance with goals of the plan as Present Rural 437 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 15 will not support appropriate zoning designaons for the project site and district. ii. Requiring unmi$gated larger and more expensive improvements to streets, water, sewer, or other public facili$es or services which, therefore, may impact development of other lands. The project site will be adequately and efficiently served by exisng and planned services and improvements. The City has a comprehensive Capital Improvements Plan which includes extending or upgrading services and roadways in the area. Future development will require municipal review for impacts and specifics for improvements and connecng to services will be outlined and eval uated at that me. The current Water Facility Plan, approved in 2017, plans for the provision of City water service to the property. A 16” water main is currently scheduled as a 2017 capital improvement to be installed in Co<onwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane. The Water Facility Plan also idenfies the West Transmission Main to provide water service to this property and extend service to the west and northwest as the city grows into those areas. This transmission main will extend west in Baxter Lane along the north boundary of the property. The Water Facility plan also idenfies a 12” water main in Laurel Parkway, along the west boundary of this property, as part of the future water system network. Water facilies are exisng i n Oak Street along the south boundary of the project. Water service is readily available to this area and provisions to expand the exisng water service boundary to serve this project are in place. iii. Adversely impac$ng exis$ng uses because of unmi$gated greater than an$cipated impacts on facili$es and services. The exisng uses in the area will not be adversely affected. This is an area experiencing significant growth with the addion of the new High School and increased residenal 438 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 16 demand and development. Exisng and planned municip al ulity expansions have been planned and are being implemented to serve this area of the City. Again, future development proposals will be evaluated at the site development phase and any required migaon will be determined at that me. The current Wastewater Facility Plan, approved in 2015, plans for the provision of City wastewater service to the property. Currently the City is not capable of providing sewer service to the area due to capacity issues in the collecon system between the project area and the wastewater treatment plant. The capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is adequate to treat wastewater generated by the project. The Norton Ranch East OuLall Diversion project, currently scheduled as a capital improvement in 2020, to increase the capacity of the collecon system is on hold due to right-of-way issues. City Engineers are currently invesgang alternate impro vements to upgrade the Baxter Meadows LiR Staon, including the sewer lines into an d out of that facility, to increase collecon system capacity to serve this area. The results of this invesgaon will be available later this year. It is safe to assume that the City is acvely pursuing soluons to provide service to the area and that funding is allocated to increase the capacity of the system. The Wastewater Facility Plan also iden fies a future project, the Aajker Diversion, to extend the service area to the west as the city grows. While wastewater service is not readily available to the project it is clear that provisions to expand the exisng wastewater service boundary to include this area are being invesgated for improvement in the near future. iv. Nega$vely affec$ng the livability of the area of the health and safety of residents. This GPMA will enhance the livability of the area. It is highly compable with the immediate land uses by providing the foundaon for a walkable community center with commercial services and employment opportunie s. This foundaon will also provide flexibility while encouraging the establishment of a neighborhood identy for the district. The long term goal is a vibrant neighborhood commercial node that 439 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 17 transions to adjacent, diverse housing with access to a series of parks. Connecvity throughout the neighborhood and to adjacent neighborhoods will ensure livability with a focus on walkability and pedestrian scale development. 440 NW CORNER OF COTTONWOOD & OAK: Growth Policy Amendment 18 EXHIBITS 441 442 443 444 0’300’600’900’ Growth Policy Map Amendment : NW Corner of Cottonwood & Oak 10.02.2018 EXHIBIT A: Project Vicinity Map PROJECT SITE BOZEMAN SPORTS PARK HIGH SCHOOL MEADOWLARK ELEMENTARY LAUREL GLEN WESTBROOK TRADITIONS FLANDERS MILL REGIONAL PARK BAXTER MEADOWS BAXTER MEADOWS Baxter Lane (Minor Arterial) Oak Street (Principal Arterial)Current City Limits Laurel Parkway (Collector)Cottonwood Road (Princiapl Arterial)445 0’300’600’900’ EXHIBIT B: Project Site & Existing Future Land Use Designation Growth Policy Map Amendment : NW Corner of Cottonwood & Oak 10.02.2018 PRESENT RURAL PROJECT SITE: 160.507Acres PRESENT RURAL & +/-137.567Acres RESIDENTIAL +/-22.94 Acres PRESENT RURAL RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL Baxter Lane (Minor Arterial) Oak Street (Principal Arterial)Current City Limits RESIDENTIALRESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE REMU Laurel Parkway (Collector)Cottonwood Road (Princiapl Arterial)446 0’300’600’900’ EXHIBIT C: Project Site & Proposed Future Land Use Designation Growth Policy Map Amendment : NW Corner of Cottonwood & Oak 10.02.2018 PRESENT RURAL RESIDENTIAL EMPHASIS MIXED USE: 130.994 Acres COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE: 29.513 Acres PRESENT RURAL RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL Baxter Lane (Minor Arterial) Oak Street (Principal Arterial) Current City Limits RESIDENTIALRESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE REMU Laurel Parkway (Collector)Cottonwood Road (Princiapl Arterial)447 COTTONWOOD ROAD (120' - ROW)LAUREL PARKWAY (90' - ROW)BAXTER LANE (100' - ROW) WEST OAK STREET (127' - ROW)S2°16'25"W 2627.49'N89°13'13"W 2649.87'N1°42'36"E 2625.17'S89°15'30"E 2675.75' 11.47 ACRE 15.03 ACRE N87°43'35"W 750.00'S2°16'25"W 666.53'N89°15'01"W 497.36'S0°46'47"W 639.70'1230.92'1287.15'©COPYRIGHT MORRISON-MAIERLE, INC.,2018 PLOTTED DATE: Oct/01/2018 PLOTTED BY: cody farley DRAWING NAME: N:\5659\003_Anderson\ACAD\Concept\5659.003-Anderson 160- GPMA Map.dwg 1/4 SEC.SECTION TOWNSHIP RANGE PROJ. #:SHEET OF PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, MONTANA COUNTY, MONTANADATE: SCALE: CLIENT: FIELD WORK: DRAWN BY: CHECKED BY: engineers surveyors planners scientists MorrisonMaierle 2880 Technology Blvd West Bozeman, MT 59718 Phone: 406.587.0721 Fax: 406.922.6702 11KLEIN GALLATIN 5659.003 1"=200' 10/2018 MEE CHN JW & CN 5E 2S 4NE TRACT 5 COS 2552 160.360 ACRES 200 TRACT 5 OF CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY NO. 2552 LOCATED NE 1 4 OF SECTION 4, T2S, R5E, PPM, GALLATIN COUNTY, MT SEPTEMBER, 2018 LEGAL DESCRIPTION PLI Z O NI N G BOZE M A N C O M M U NI T Y PLAN F U T U R E L A N D U S E: PRES E N T R U R A L BOZE M A N COM M U NI T Y P L A N FUTU R E L A N D U S E: PRES E N T R U R A L BOZE M A N COM M U N I T Y P L A N FUTU R E L A N D U S E : RESIE N TI A L GPMA AREA SUMMARY COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL: REMU : TOTAL GPMA AREA: 29.513 acres (1,285,583.20) Sq.
