Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Sarah Rosenberg, AICP, Associate Planner Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution 5032, a resolution of intent to consider the
Billings Clinic growth policy amendment to amend Figure 3-1, the future
land use map from Community Commercial Mixed Use and Residential to Regional Commercial and Services on 58.032 acres on the west side of 27th Avenue, south of Westlake Road, and north of Catamount Street,
Application 19113.
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 5032, a resolution of intent to consider the Billings
Clinic growth policy amendment to amend Figure 3-1, the future land use map from Community
Commercial Mixed Use and Residential to Regional Commercial and Services on 58.032 acres on the west side of 27th Avenue, south of Westlake Road, and north of Catamount Street.
BACKGROUND: The City of Bozeman adopted its current growth policy, the Bozeman
Community Plan, on June 1, 2009 through Resolution 4163. Section 3.5, page 3-15, establishes
the future land use. The map depicts various classifications of land described in Section 3.4 of the Bozeman Community Plan and the City’s expectations for the future use of that land.
The applicant has requested a change in designation from Community Commercial Mixed Use and
Residential to Regional Commercial and Service. The description and intent of each of these future
land use categories can be found in Chapter 3 of the Bozeman Community Plan.
Passage of Resolution 5032 will not amend the growth policy. Rather, it will initiate the formal process, including notice to adjacent landowners, to evaluate whether the requested amendment is
consistent with the overall policies and purposes of the growth policy. The Planning Board and
City Commission will hold public hearings before any final decision. A full analysis of the review
criteria found in Chapter 17 of the Community Plan will be included with the formal staff report prepared for the Planning Board and City Commission.
The proposed schedule for the review of this application is as follows.

10Growth Policy Amendment - Billings Clinic Bozeman
PROJECT NARRATIVE
OVERVIEW
This application is a request to amend the Future Land Use Map of the City of Bozeman Community Plan through a Growth Policy Map Amendment. The subject property consists of two parcels totaling approximateley 58 acres, located at the western corner of East Valley Center Road and North 27th Avenue. The eastern parcel, approximately 54 acres, is within the city limits of Bozeman. It currently has two Bozeman Community Plan designations: Community Commercial Mixed Use for the eastern portion (approximately 34.7 Ac) and Residential for the western portion (approximately 19.2 Ac). The second parcel is approximately 4.24 acres and is located directly to the west of the larger parcel and adjacent to Davis Lane. It is not currently within Bozeman’s city limits and carries a Residential designation. This application seeks to change the designated land use for both parcels to Regional Commercial and Services.
This application is the first of a series of development applications relating to the Billings Clinic Bozeman campus. Future applications will include a request for Annexation and Initial Zoning for the 4.24 acre parcel, a Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) request to rezone the portion of the property zoned Residential Office (R-O) to Community Business District (B-2), a Planned Unit Development (PUD), Master Site Plan, and Site Plan Applications.
The portion of the subject property within Bozeman city limits (Property 1) is described as follows:
Lot 2A, Minor Subdivision 221E, Township 1 South, Range 5 East, P.M.M., City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana The portion of the subject property outside of the Bozeman city limits (Property 2) is described as follows:
A tract of land located in the Southwest quarter of Section 26, Township 1 South, Range 5 East, P.M.M., Gallatin County, Montana. Said tract being a portion of Tract A of Certificate of Survey 165A according to the official plat thereof, on file and of record in the office of the clerk and recorder of said county under document no. 94476, and more particularly described as follows:
Commencing at the West 1/4 corner of said Section 26, thence along the West line of said section S 00°36’29” W, 417.94 feet to the point of beginning. Thence from said point of beginning, N 89°44’39” E, 296.06 feet; thence S 00°57’53” W, 597.06 feet; thence S 88°42’42” W, 149.78 feet; thence S 50°16’06” W, 187.09 feet to the west line of Section 26; thence along the West line of Section 26, N 00°36’29” E, 718.65 feet to the point of beginning, containing 4.240 acres.
See the Project Vicinity map on the prior page for a depiction of the subject property and its surroundings.

11Growth Policy Amendment - Billings Clinic Bozeman
PROJECT NARRATIVE
In the fall of 2018, Billings Clinic announced plans to use the subject property for a new medical campus to serve the Gallatin Valley. Located in the growing northwest quadrant of the City, the campus will be phased, with a first phase consisting of a 97,000 square foot destination ambulatory center. The plan for the campus includes a multispecialty physician group practice, urgent care, and an outpatient surgical center. Future phases will be defined in subsequent development applications.
The design intent of the Billings Clinic Bozeman campus is to provide a place for medical services to blend with complementary commercial, retail and residential uses to honor Bozeman’s core value as a well-planned community. The campus will contain design features that promote superior functionality and wayfinding, easy access to quality health care, a satisfying and safe environment for the individuals that work in and visit the area, easy pedestrian access, limited vehicular congestion, and pleasant and consistent architectural design and landscaping. To accomplish this, it will include features such as smaller building footprints and higher structures in appropriate locations, parking lots and structures interspersed amongst buildings and open space, and a public park and trail system connecting to Cattail Lake Park.
In support of the development of the Billings Cinic Bozeman campus, this application seeks to add the Regional Commercial and Services land use designation to the campus and is supported by the following principles:
• The adjacent and nearby transportation network, including I-90, East Valley Center Road, and North 27th Avenue, are appropriate and desirable for locating a Regional Commercial and Services Center.
• There is a strong need for the services and the employment that a community center will provide. As Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley grow, critical services must be part of that growth so the local and regional community can be served.
• Existing and proposed municipal services are immediately near and adjacent to the campus. Recent and proposed development is located directly to the east of the campus along North 27th Avenue.
• This area is identified in the Community Plan as a region for city and urban growth. The Future Land Use Map, which is a part of the Community Plan, is intended to evolve and develop in detail to promote positive economic development within the city limits.

12Growth Policy Amendment - Billings Clinic Bozeman
PROJECT NARRATIVE
RESPONSES TO THE GROWTH POLICY AMENDMENT CRITERIA
a. Does the proposed amendment cure a deficiency in the growth policy or result in an improved growth policy which better responds to the needs of the general community? How?
The proposed amendment will result in an updated growth policy because it better responds to current needs of the Bozeman community. Since the 2009 Community Plan, Bozeman has seen significant growth, particularly in the northwest quadrant of the City. This site is adjacent to existing and proposed development to the south and east and reflects the direction of commercial growth within the City. Recent development applications indicate that additional commercial land will be needed in this area. As proposed, the addition of a Regional Commercial and Services Center will provide an opportunity to create a commercial node to support adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The majority of the campus was annexed in 2007. An annexation application for the County parcel will be submitted subsequent to this Growth Policy Amendment application. The campus is adjacent to various parcels that were annexed in the early 2000s as part of Bozeman’s northwestern growth trend. Identifying this campus as a commercial center will bring community services, medical facilities, employment, and potential housing. The project will promote predictable and stable growth in the area. Finally, this campus is adjacent to current development within Bozeman. In order to grow in a predictable manner, designating the campus as Regional Commercial and Services Center will facilitate this development pattern.
The center-based development pattern is supported in this plan by locating centers at the intersection of arterial and collector streets. Such locations allow not only immediately adjacent residents, but also passing travelers, to support the commercial activities. (see Project Vicinity Map on page 9).
b. Does the proposed amendment create inconsistencies within the growth policy, either between the goals and the map or between goals? Why not?
There are no inconsistencies with the growth policy in regard to the community goals and the map. The Community Plan calls for local and regional centers and that they be located along major transportation corridors, such as I-90. North 19th Avenue and East Valley Center Road are developing as a regional retail center and the addition of the medical campus further solidifies the area as a regional center for commerce and employment.
The following Goals and Objectives from the Community Plan demonstrate how this request complies with the growth policy:
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.
193
13Growth Policy Amendment - Billings Clinic Bozeman
A sense of community is strengthened by creating and supporting distinctive areas that facilitate neighborhood identity. Complete neighborhoods allow extensive interaction and build identity with a specific part of the community. The future development of the campus will inevitably provide jobs and services for nearby residents. Additionally, the ability to master plan the 58-acre site will further enable the sense of place desired by the community.
Goal LU-2: Designate centers for commercial development rather than corridors to encourage cohesive neighborhood development in conjunction with non-motorized transportation options.
A center based development pattern is land and resource efficient and supports the goals of community and neighborhood development and sustainability. A major theme of the Community Plan is the utilization of the existing arterial and collector streets as the primary backbone for the City’s transportation network. The subject property is bounded by East Valley Center Road (Principal Arterial). Davis Lane (Minor Arterial) and North 27th Avenue (Collector), which will reinforce the community’s desire to have commercial nodes tied to the transportation network.
Additionally, neighborhoods vary in size and age, but Bozeman residents feel strongly connected to the unique neighborhoods that make up the City. The Community Plan acknowledges that neighborhood commercial/activity centers and local parks provide opportunities to casually interact with other nearby residents. As Bozeman continues to grow, it is important for commercial/activity centers grow and develop to support residential development.
Goal ED-1: Promote and encourage the continued development of Bozeman as a vital economic center.
Designating the campus as Regional Commercial and Service will further enhance and support Bozeman as an economic center. The future development of the campus will support economic growth for the community while providing valuable and needed community services.
c. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy? How?
The overall intent of the growth policy is to proactively and creatively address issues of development and change while protecting public health, safety and welfare. The planned development of the campus will enable the community to retain and enhance those qualities that make Bozeman a desirable place to live, work and play as the community continues to grow and evolve. Inherent in the Community Plan is the recognition of the evolving nature of the urban growth that justifies the need and ability to make adjustments when and where appropriate. This application, along with the subsequent Zone Map Amendment and Planned Unit Development Application, is for an area deemed appropriate for expanded residential growth and the services needed to support it.

d. Does the proposed amendment adversely affect the community as a whole or significant portion by:
i. Significantly altering acceptable existing and future land use patterns, as defined in the text and maps of the plan? How does it not?
The proposed amendment is consistent with adjacent land uses and expected growth to the west of the campus. The proposed uses for the campus are being developed in accordance with a Regional Commercial and Services Center that provides a regional level of goods and services. The existing transportation network will support the campus as a regional center, allowing for access from multiple arterial and collector streets.
ii. Requiring unmitigated larger and more expensive improvements to streets, water, sewer, or other public facilities or services and which, therefore, may impact development of other lands? How does it not?
A project of this scale will require investment in infrastructure. Future site development will include improvements to public services. These improvements, while critical for the projected uses of the campus, will also create opportunities for growth for northwestern Bozeman. Infrastructure that will be built in conjunction with future site development will provide improved connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods.
iii. Adversely impacting existing uses because of unmitigated greater than anticipated impacts on facilities and services? How does it not?
As described previously, existing uses will not be adversely impacted. The proposed site development will include numerous public service improvements. These improvements will be beneficial to surrounding neighborhoods and allow for the continued planned growth to the west to happen in a predictable manner.
iv. Negatively affecting the livability of the area of the health and safety of residents? How does it not?
The proposed planned development of the campus will provide for needed services for the community and will enhance the livability, health and safety for the area. By providing for services and employment in a growing area of the community, the development of the campus has the ability to reduce commutes and travel trips for nearby neighborhoods. Additionally, the ability to create a master plan for the 58-acres will enhance the livability with improved access, connectivity, services and employment centers.
