Project Overview This is a request to annex and establish initial zoning for 160.507 acres of land generally located at the northwest corner of West Oak Street and Cottonwood Road. The subject property is currently zoned AS (Agriculture-Suburban), and lies within the Gallatin County “donut” area surrounding Bozeman (Exhibit A). A Growth Policy Map Amendment (GPMA) application for this site was submitted on October 2, 2018 (# 18-450). At that time the Future Land Use Designation for the site is a combination of Residential, approximately 22.94 acres, and the remainder, approximately 137.567 acres, is designated as Present Rural. The GPMA application proposes to amend the growth policy future land use designation for the property to 130.994 acres of Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) and 29.513 acres of Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU), please see attached Exhibit B. This Annexation and Initial Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) application requests to annex the entire 160.507 acres into the City of Bozeman and initiate a zone map amendment. Two zoning designations are requested, REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed) and B-2M (Community Business Mixed), please see Exhibit C. The ZMA proposes to allocate the 130.994 acres of REMU and 29.513 acres of Community Commercial Mixed Use identified in the GPMA to REMU and B-2M zoning designations respectively. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 5 B. Annexation Narrative The applicant understands that project sites pursuing approval of annexation are subject to the goals and policies established by Commission Resolution No. 4400. These items are included and briefly addressed on the Annexation (ANNX) checklist form. Further detail with regard to these goals and policies is outlined below. See Exhibits D and E for the Annexation Map and Zone Map Amendment Exhibits respectively. Annexation Goals 1. It shall be the goal of the City of Bozeman to encourage annexations of land contiguous to the City. The subject parcel (160.507 acres) is located at the NW Corner of N Cottonwood Road and Oak Street. The property is contiguous to Bozeman City Limits along its eastern and southern boundaries. 2. The City shall seek to annex all areas that are totally surrounded by the city, without regard for parcel size. The parcel is not wholly surrounded by the City. The property is surrounded by residential properties of varying densities to the south and northeast, the Bozeman Sports Park to the east, the new High School to the southeast, and agricultural lands to the north and west. 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. The property site currently does not contract with the City for water, sanitary sewer and/or fire services. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 6 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: The property is located within the urban growth area of the Bozeman Growth Policy. 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 Cottonwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane. The Water Facility Plan also identifies 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 identifies a 12” water main in Laurel Parkway, along the west boundary of this property, as part of the future water system network. Water facilities are existing in Oak Street along the south boundary of the project. Water service is readily available to this area and provisions to expand the existing water service boundary to serve this project are in place. The current Wastewater Facility Plan, approved in 2015, plans for the provision of City wastewater service to the property. Currently the City is investigating its ability to provide full sewer service to the area due to capacity issues in the collection system between the project area and the wastewater treatment plant. The capacity of the wastewater NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 7 treatment plant is adequate to treat wastewater generated by the project. The Norton Ranch East Outfall Diversion project, currently scheduled as a capital improvement in 2020, to increase the capacity of the collection system is on hold due to right-of-way issues. City Engineers are currently investigating alternate improvements to upgrade the Baxter Meadows Lift Station, including the sewer lines into and out of that facility and flow monitoring, to increase collection system capacity to serve this area. The results of this investigation will be available later this year. It is safe to assume that the City is actively pursuing solutions to provide service to the area and that funding is allocated to increase the capacity of the system. The Wastewater Facility Plan also identifies a future project, the Aajker Diversion, to extend the service area to the west as the city grows. It is clear that provisions to expand the existing wastewater service boundary to include this area are being investigated for improvement in the near future. The current Capital Improvements Plan 2019-2023 identifies the following improvements to be completed and the year in which they are scheduled: · Oak/Cottonwood Intersection (SIF 098; $2,192,000) in fiscal year 2020 · Cottonwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane (SIF 138; $1,000,000) in fiscal year 2023 · Baxter/Cottonwood Intersection (SIF 086; $500,000)in fiscal year 2023. The south half of Oak Street to the west of Cottonwood already exists NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 8 along the south boundary of the property and Baxter Lane exists to a county road standard along the north boundary of the property. The Transportation Master Plan identifies Oak Street and Cottonwood Road and Principal Arterials, Baxter Lane as a Minor Arterial, and Laurel Parkway as a collector indicating that all of these roadways play a significant role as the City grows to the west. Cottonwood Road will eventually provide access to the new sports complex currently being constructed along the east boundary providing a prime opportunity for growth in this area. The existing road network and provisions to expand the transportation facilities to serve this project are in place. The facility planning in place and capital improvements already scheduled for this area provide a 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 and will most likely identify this area for urban growth. As recommended in the existing Bozeman City Plan the applicant to change in designation by amendment to the growth policy to allow annexation and zoning. Annexation Policies 1. Annexations shall include dedication of all easements, rights-of- way for collector and arterial streets, water rights and waivers of right to protest. The applicant understands the requirements of annexation and the adopted policies associated with annexation. The applicant/owner is willing to dedicate needed easements and rights of way, sign waivers of protest for future SIDs, and transfer usable water rights as the property is developed. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 9 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. b. Initial zoning classification of the property to be annexed shall be determined by the City Commission, in compliance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and upon recommendation of the City Zoning Commission, prior to final annexation. c. The applicant may indicate his or her preferred zoning classification as part of the annexation application. As mentioned previously, a growth policy amendment for the project site has already been initiated (#18-450) to amend the future land use designations for the project site. This annexation includes a request for initial zoning to be REMU and B-2M. The responses to the ZMA criteria are addressed in the next section. 3. Fees for annexation procedures shall be established by the City Commission. No fee will be charged for any City-initiated annexation. The applicant understands there is a fee associated with the annexation and zoning of this parcel. 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 access the property. Currently, the project site is accessed via Baxter Lane, a paved county road with a future minor arterial designation. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 10 5. Prior to annexation of property, it shall be the policy of the City to acquire adequate and usable water rights, or an appropriate fee in lieu thereof, in accordance with 38.410.130 of the municipal code. The applicant agrees to provide water rights as the project develops. 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 the public health, safety and welfare, it shall be the general policy of the City to require the applicant to provide a written plan for accommodation of these services, or not approve the annexation. Additionally, annexation proposals that would use up infrastructure capacity already reserved for properties lying either with undeveloped portions of the city limits or lying outside the City limits but within identified sewer or water sewer area boundaries, shall generally not be approved. The applicant is not providing a written plan for accommodations for city services as the site is adjacent to developments currently served by city services and Bozeman Fire. Additionally, as addressed previously, the site is within the municipal services boundary and plans are in place to extend services to the project site. 7. It shall be the general policy of the City to require annexation of any contiguous property for which city services are requested or for which city services are currently being contracted. Currently the site does not contract for services, but the site is adjacent to developments currently served by City services and Bozeman fire. Future site development will require use of City services. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 11 8. The annexation application shall be accompanied by mapping to meet the requirements of the Director of Public Service. This application includes several exhibits outlining the vicinity of the project site, existing zoning, proposed zoning, an Annexation Map and a Zone Map Amendment exhibit. 9. It shall be the policy of the City of Bozeman to assess a system development/impact fee in accordance with Chapter 2, Art. 6, Division 9, Bozeman Municipal Code, and accordance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and other policies as they are developed. The applicant is aware of and understands this requirement. 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, not more than forty-five days nor less than 15 days prior to the scheduled action. The applicant is aware of and understands this requirement. This application is accompanied by noticing materials required by the City of Bozeman. 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. The applicant is aware of and understands this requirement. The applicant may request additional time depending on the requirements NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 12 of the agreement. Additional Site Information There are no residents living on the project site. Structures onsite include one uninhabitable residential structure, and seven uninhabitable outbuildings located on the NW corner of the site. There are no commercial structures on site. The residential structure will be demolished, while there is potential to salvage or repurpose some of the outbuildings. The site consists of approximately 26 acres of wetlands with the remaining land being pasture and agricultural cultivation of alfalfa hay. The residential structure is uninhabited but was served by electric, underground wells, and a septic system. As of 2018 the property was assessed at $99,947 for the land and $188,940 for the homestead and buildings, a total of $288,887. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 13 C. Responses to ZMA Criteria Below are responses to the ZMA criteria (Section 76-2-304, MCA) that address how the project site relates to and meets the criteria outlined for ZMAs. A. Be in accordance with the Growth Policy Yes. The pending Growth Policy Amendment proposes to re-designate approximately 22.94 acres, of “Residential” and approximately 137.567 acres, of “Present Rural”. This new designation will result in approximately 130.994 acres of Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) and 29.513 acres of Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU) as underlying future land use designations. The requested initial zoning designation requested is REMU (130.994 acres) and B- 2M (29.513 acres). These are appropriate implementing districts for the REMU and CCMU future land use designations and will support the growth policy’s “Center Based” land use pattern. B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers Yes. The subject property is currently located directly adjacent to the jurisdiction of the City of Bozeman Fire and Police Departments and the service area of American Medical Response ambulances. Additionally, the subject site is located less than one and one half miles from Bozeman Fire Station No 3. As the new High School and associated infrastructure improvements develop, direct access routes to the project site will be further improved. Site and building development will be in compliance with the UDC and all applicable NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 14 building codes to help secure safety from fire and other dangers. REMU and B-2M zoning will have no new affect on these types of services. C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare Yes. This area, due to its proximity to principal arterials, a diverse array of adjacent residential densities, Bozeman Sports Park, the new high School and Meadowlark Elementary; has multiple elements conducive to a walkable neighborhood. The combination of REMU and B-2M allows for flexibility and higher densities. These zoning designations create the opportunity for a broad range of commercial uses to serve both the surrounding neighborhood and, more broadly, the City as a whole, while encouraging multifamily residential. The majority of the parcel being designated as REMU is highly compatible with the surrounding land uses and will provide the foundation for a walkable community. A B-2M designation in the SE portion of the parcel will further strengthen and encourage pedestrian use by placing residents closer to businesses and institutions and vice-versa. This change will promote a more cohesive neighborhood pattern through the extension of services and a consistent sidewalk pattern. Additionally, the provisions of the UDC as well as applicable building codes will ensure public health, safety and general welfare on a project by project basis. D. Facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 15 Yes. The project site lies within the sewer, storm water and water facility plan boundaries. The development of adjacent residential neighborhoods, Bozeman Sports Park and the new high school to the northeast, east, and south of the project site combined with the development pattern in the area will facilitate the update and extension of municipal services. Additionally, the current Capital Improvements Plan 2019-2023 identifies the following improvements to be completed and the year in which they are scheduled: · Oak/Cottonwood Intersection (SIF 098; $2,192,000) in fiscal year 2020 · Cottonwood Road between Oak Street and Baxter Lane (SIF 138; $1,000,000) in fiscal year 2023 · Baxter/Cottonwood Intersection (SIF 086; $500,000)in fiscal year 2023. The initial zoning of REMU and B-2M will capitalize on the proximity to principal arterials (Cottonwood Road and Oak Street) and lead to incremental additions of sidewalks and improvements providing pedestrian access, and encouraging connection to adjacent neighborhoods, schools and parks. Future site development proposals will be required to demonstrate the adequate provision of public services, parkland development, natural resource protection and other required improvements. E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air Yes. The new UDC has multiple standard’s that address height restrictions, lot coverage, setbacks, landscaping and buffers to protect NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 16 the provisions of light and air. REMU and B-2M contain some overlapping uses with an intense focus on pedestrian use, access and connectivity that will further build in seamless transitions that protect the provision of adequate light and air between existing residential neighborhoods to the south. All future site plans and development will require compliance with the UDC as well as applicable building codes to assure the provision of adequate light and air. F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems Yes. The annexation and initial zoning of this parcel will facilitate the connection of Cottonwood Road from Oak Street to Baxter Lane. It will fulfill the R.O.W. dedications necessary to build out the intersection of Cottonwood Road with Baxter. Development in this parcel will connect to the street and pedestrian grid established by the residential neighborhoods south of Oak Street. Future development in compliance with the UDC as well as applicable engineering standards will require a traffic impact study and review of transportation capacity. The proposed zone change and increased intensity will increase traffic. However, area road improvements, proximity to major thoroughfares, and a focus on pedestrian and multi-modal transportation in this neighborhood commercial node will help offset traffic impacts. G. Promotion of Compatible Urban Growth Yes. Integrated, pedestrian friendly development in mixed use areas is imperative to a desirable urban growth pattern. Increased density of quality mixed-used development in this area means it will meet an NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 17 important and immediate demand for residential units in Bozeman while also supporting/encouraging commercial uses through the combination of REMU and B-2M zoning. Bringing higher intensity uses to this center is a progressive way to plan for long term growth and extend the development pattern currently being experienced in the surrounding area of the project site. The community plan reinforces this concept and states that a concentration of persons and activities is fundamental to urban services. (Chapter 3, Bozeman Community Plan) H. Promotion of the character of the district Yes. REMU and B-2M zoning will continue to promote the desired character of the project site, surrounding area, and its associated district. This is a rapidly expanding area of NW Bozeman with direct access to sports parks, two schools, and multiple built or planned residential neighborhoods of varying densities. REMU is meant to establish areas that are mixed use in character and provide options for a variety of housing through a vertical and horizontal mix. Flexibility in the amount, type and density of residential products and the ability to seamlessly transition to the B-2M commercial node will allow the project site to develop and respond to the character of the district. The B-2M is consistent with the area and will allow the for the establishment of a commercial node that replaces a commercial parcel displaced by the new high school and foster progressive development. Future site development in this area that complies with the standards of the UDC will continue to add to the character of the district as well as adjacent districts. NW C C O: Annexation & Zone Map Amendment 18 I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses Yes. While the current use is agricultural, the property is adjacent to developed, residential areas of varying densities and public land uses. The site is generally flat and laced with two watercourses. The intent of REMU is to ‘promote neighborhoods with supporting services that are substantially dominated by housing’. Additionally, a B-2M will encourage support services and employment opportunities with a focus on multi-modal transportation and strong connections both within the site and to adjacent sites. This property site will fill a substantial void in the area by providing a much needed commercial node that will compliment the adjacent uses, promote a cohesive neighborhood pattern that will connect adjacent roadways and corridors, and extend existing infrastructure. J. Conserving the value of buildings Yes. The parcel is almost exclusively under agricultural cultivation and natural wetland areas. One residential structure and seven outbuildings exist on-site. The residential structure is uninhabitable and will be demolished. There is potential to salvage or repurpose some of the outbuildings and this will be investigated.
