EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
None
Project Summary
The Trust for Public Land (landowner) and HRDC (applicant) request to amend the Bozeman Community Plan (Growth Policy) Future Land Use Map Figure 3-1 designation from Residential
(3.46 acres) and Community Commercial Mixed Use (4.56 acres) to Residential Emphasis Mixed
Use on one parcel totaling 8.025 acres.

The site is adjacent to the Story Mill Community Park to the west and is part of the larger vision
of the area’s redevelopment in conjunction with the park. The intention of the land use
designation change is to allow the development of a mixed-income residential neighborhood on
property owned by a community land trust. This would provide affordable housing options on a portion of the site and serve to reestablish a residential neighborhood after a trailer park was removed in 2008. The application proposes a designation of “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use”
(REMU) on the entire property and half (1.35 acres) of the adjacent Bridger Drive right-of-way.
There is also a concurrent Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) application that proposes a zoning designation of R-3, Residential Medium Density District. The combination of a future land use designation of REMU and a zoning district of R-3 would allow a future residential neighborhood
of one to five-household residential structures. If the GPA and ZMA are approved, the applicant
intends to submit a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that could also allow some
complementary light commercial uses. Planning Board Summary On June 18, 2019, at a regularly scheduled hearing, the Bozeman Planning Board held a public
hearing to consider the request to modify Figure 3-1, Future Land Use map, of the Bozeman
Community Plan from Community Commercial Mixed-Use and Residential to Residential Emphasis Mixed Use on 8.025 acres and the adjacent Bridger Drive right-of-way. No public comment was heard on the application. In conclusion, the Board voted 8:0 to recommend that the
City Commission act to amend the future land use map as described in the application. A sign
Planning Board Resolution (2019-104) is attached to this report.

SECTION 2 - RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
If the City Commission approves 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:
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 “Bridger View Redevelopment 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 April 3, 2019 and did not identify any
concerns with the application.
The Planning Board held a public hearing on June 18, 2019 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 July 15, 2019. 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
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
438
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 8 of 14
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 the 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. The current parcel has a
split future land use designation that is the result of a previously proposed project that did not move forward. The Community Plan states that it is preferable for land use designation boundaries to follow the parcel boundaries established by recorded plats. This amendment
would serve to do that by designating the entire parcel REMU, thus correcting a deficiency in
the current growth policy.
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
proposed REMU designation puts a greater emphasis on housing than the current Community
Plan designations, allowing more housing in an appropriate location adjacent to the Story
Mill Community Park and near services. Furthermore, the designation will require that any new development on the site meet code requirements that at least 10 percent of the homes be priced at levels that households earning less than 80 percent Area Median Income (AMI) can
afford to purchase. According to the 2018 Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment
(EPS Report), the community has a need for long-term affordable housing. This GPA would
allow for the development of more mixed-income housing in an area that is appropriate for such growth.
Both the current Community Plan and public input related to the pending plan update note
housing affordability as a high priority goal for the community. Therefore, the proposed
amendment would better respond to the needs of the general community by providing more affordable housing options.
If approved, the relative certainty of commercial use at the corner of Bridger Drive and Story
Mill Rad is lost. Although there is a commercial area at the Story Mill site it is unlikely this
location will evolve into a commercial zone serving the general area. The next proximate commercial area is Cannery District approximately one mile to the southwest.
Based on these findings, staff concludes that the Plan is an improvement to the growth policy
and better responds to the needs of the general community
439
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 9 of 14
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 proposed amendment to change 8.025 acres from “Community Commercial Mixed Use”
and “Residential” to “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” does not appear to create any
inconsistencies within the growth policy goals or between goals and maps. The existing split land use designation is a result of a previously unsuccessful project that planned to mix commercial uses with residential. The proposed amendment would return the site back to its
historic use of residential. With regards to commercial uses, the current Community Plan
Update is exploring the concept of encouraging commercial nodes within neighborhoods.
The 2018 Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment (EPS Report) notes that other communities have reported difficulty in creating new retail locations without significant
housing density to support such uses (pages 3 and 5). Therefore, it is consistent with current
plan updates and previous study efforts to provide residential uses prior to the creation of a
larger commercial node in the area.
Additionally, there are public utilities located on the site which are consistent with many of
the goals of the Community Plan in determining where it is appropriate for new locations of
residential uses. With the development of Story Mill Park, it is compatible and appropriate
to include residential uses adjacent to this new community feature. Also, the change in
designation allows residential uses in an area that is well connected with trails which helps support many of the sustainability goals and within the community plan.
Staff concludes that no substantive contradictions are created.
3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the growth
policy.
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 (page 1-1). If
approved, the proposed amendment will allow more residential uses on the subject property
which will complement the park and other adjacent uses, while providing a mix of housing options for residents. The change will allow more space for residential development that is in
demand as the city continues to grow. Additionally, residential development on the subject
property will increase public use and enjoyment of the park and support existing and future
commercial centers. Housing that provides affordable options is deemed to be beneficial in
the Community Plan, and the Strategic Plan states that Bozeman should “explore opportunities for partnerships with key business groups and non-profit organizations.” The
proposed amendment does both of these things, aligning with the overall intent of the growth
policy and its goals.
The overall intent of the Bozeman Community Plan is expressed in the seven themes first presented in the executive summary and expanded upon throughout the document. These
themes interact with all elements of the plan and touch on many of the same issues as the
themes being developed for the Bozeman Community Plan update. Having considered the
440
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 10 of 14
intent of the Bozeman Community Plan staff concludes that the Bridger View
Redevelopment GPA is consistent with the intent of the Bozeman Community Plan.
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,
No, the proposed map amendment does not significantly alter land use patterns from those
established by the plan. The existing land use designations are Community Commercial
Mixed Use and Residential and the proposed land use designation is Residential Emphasis
Mixed Use, which combines the existing split designations into one cohesive designation
for the entire property with a stronger emphasis on residential uses. However, uses will be
determined by the zoning district applied to the property.
b) Requiring unmitigated larger or more expensive improvements to streets, water,
sewer, or other public facilities or services, thereby impacting development of other
lands,
No negative impacts to other lands or the community are anticipated as a result of the proposed growth policy amendment. The site is located at the corner of an established collector and principal arterial street and is within the planned service area for municipal
utilities. Future development will require municipal review for any additional impacts
and will be evaluated at that time.
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 addressed at
that time, as required by municipal code. The addition of a residential neighborhood to the
east of Story Mill Park is compatible with surrounding land uses and will place residents
near a regional park which is seen as a positive for the community.
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 is compatible with surrounding
land uses and should not negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety
of residents. The land use change would allow for additional residential opportunities to
meet the expanding demands of the city, in an area that is appropriate and compatible for
such a use.
441
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 11 of 14
APPENDIX A - PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The property is zoned by the City of Bozeman as B-1, Neighborhood Business, R-2, Residential
Single-Household Medium Density, and R-4, Residential High Density. The Applicant is
proposing to change the zoning of this property to R-3, Medium Density Residential. This request
will be reviewed if the City Commission approves the GPA. The property has historically been
used residentially as the Bridger View Trailer Court.
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 – 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
442
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 12 of 14
intersections. As needed, building height transitions should be provided to be compatible with
adjacent development.”
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.”
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.
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.
As Table C-16 from the Bozeman Community Plan shows the corresponding implementing
zoning districts associated for the future land use designation of “Residential Emphasis
Mixed Use”.

APPENDIX B - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Description
A growth policy amendment proposal to revise the future land use map from Residential and
Community Commercial Mixed Use to Residential Emphasis Mixed Use on 8.025 total acres plus
adjacent public rights-of-way.
The proposal is part of a larger vision of redevelopment for the area which includes Story Mill
Community Park. A portion of the subject property formerly housed a trailer park that was
removed for a larger housing and commercial development proposal that failed to move forward.
The Trust for Public Land acquired the property as part of the larger Story Mill Community Park
purchase to explore the option of returning some affordable homes on a portion of the site. If the
444
19104, Staff Report for the Bridger View Redevelopment GPA. Page 14 of 14
GPA and proposed ZMA are approved, the applicant intends to submit a Preliminary PUD that
would include a mixed-income residential development and possibly some light complementary
commercial uses.
The concurrent Zone Map Amendment application that proposes a zoning designation of R-3,
Residential Medium Density District and the future land use designation of REMU would allow
a future residential neighborhood of single household dwelling units with up to five attached
units. The addition of a residential neighborhood in this area is compatible with adjacent uses
and would serve to activate the edge of Story Mill Community Park, while providing the
opportunity for residents to live near a great community resource and enhance livability.
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 May 26 and
June 2, 2019. The Planning Board public hearing is scheduled for June 18, 2019 and the City
Commission public hearing is scheduled for July 15, 2019.

Bridger View Redevelopment
Growth Policy Map Amendment Narrative
Summary:
The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) and The Trust for Public Land, together, propose to
amend the Bozeman Community Plan “Future Land Use Map” to allow an 8-acre property on Bridger
Drive (between Story Mill Community Park and Story Mill Road) to be designated “Residential Emphasis
Mixed Use.”
This proposal to change the land use designations stands on its own merits by meeting the required
criteria for a Growth Policy Amendment (GPA). While individual planned projects are not considered
within the criteria for a GPA, the proposed change to the underlying land use designations will enable
these non-profit entities to continue to pursue and invest in the creation of a mixed-income residential
neighborhood offering modest, efficient homes that residents can afford to purchase and a community
land trust to ensure the investment and affordability are maintained. This innovative model
neighborhood will meaningfully address Bozeman’s community housing needs, complement the
adjacent park and benefit the entire community.
The idea to reestablish a residential neighborhood on this property was conceived as a separate but
parallel component of The Trust for Public Land’s work to create the adjacent Story Mill Community Park
in partnership with the City of Bozeman. A portion of the larger site formerly housed a 92-family trailer
park that was removed in 2008 to make way for a 1,200-unit housing and commercial development
proposal that failed to move forward. The existing land use designations (as well as existing zoning
designations) are the direct result of that failed plan. The Trust for Public Land acquired the property in
2012 as part of the larger Story Mill Community Park property purchase. The 8-acre parcel was retained
to explore the feasibility of returning some affordable homes on a portion of the site – honoring the
history and complementing the new park. In 2017, the Bridger View Concept Planned Unit Development
(PUD) was informally reviewed by the City. Submittal of a Preliminary PUD is contingent upon approval
of this application and the corresponding Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) Application.
The property is currently divided by two different land use designations - the east portion (4.56 acres) is
designated “Community Commercial Mixed Use” and the west portion (3.46 acres) is designated
“Residential.” The adjacent right-of-way for Bridger Drive is designated “Industrial.” This application
proposes a designation of “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” on the entire property and half (1.35) of
the adjacent right-of-way (note that using road centerlines as boundaries is the current preferred policy
of the City).
Please note that the concurrent ZMA Application proposes a zoning designation of “R-3,” Residential
Medium Density District, to ensure the smallest scale of this land use classification is developed in the
future. This combination of Residential Emphasis Mixed Use and R-3 zoning will allow a future
neighborhood of single household dwelling units up to five attached units. With a Planned Unit
Development (PUD), there is also the possibility of some light commercial activity such as a flexible
community center with guest rooms, coffee bar or exercise classes.

The Residential Mixed-Use designation is described in the Community Plan as follows:
The graphics on the next page show the existing and proposed maps for the subject property. This is
followed by a detailed narrative addressing the required review criteria for Growth Policy Amendments.
Note that the required engineering exhibits which include more site-specific detail are also included at
the end of the application materials.
The Residential Emphasis 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. Variation in building massing, height,
and other design characteristics should contribute to a complete and interesting streetscape
and may be larger than in the Residential category.
Secondary supporting uses, such as retail, offices, and civic uses, are permitted at the ground
floor. All uses should complement existing and planned residential uses. Non-residential
uses are expected to be pedestrian oriented and emphasize the human scale with
modulation as needed in larger structures. Stand alone, large, non-residential uses are
discouraged. Non-residential spaces should provide an interesting pedestrian experience
with quality urban design for buildings, sites, and open spaces.
This category is implemented at different scales. The details of implementing standards will
vary with the scale. 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.

Application Narrative
1. A thorough project narrative is required including a detailed response to the following:
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?
Yes. The proposed amendment both cures a deficiency in the growth policy and results in an improved
growth policy which better responds to the needs of the general community.
The current parcel has a split designation that is the direct result of a ten+ year old expired project that
was never developed because of the economic recession and ownership issues. Since that time, the
development of the 60-acre Story Mill Community Park has and will continue to positively influence the
larger neighborhood and overall growth patterns. Note that the growth policy shows a residential land
use designation on the dedicated park parcel; however, it is anticipated that the Update to the Growth
Policy will correct this land use designation to Public Lands and Institutions. As stated in the Community
Plan, it is preferable for land use designation boundaries to follow the parcel boundaries established by
recorded plats1. This amendment proposes exactly that by designating the entire 8-acre subject
property “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use.” This is an appropriate land use designation for any future
project.
The proposed amendment also results in an improved growth policy which better responds to the needs
of the general community by allowing a greater emphasis on housing in an appropriate location. The
2018 Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment (EPS Report) discusses the need for long-term
affordable housing because most of the job growth in Bozeman is at wage levels less than $16 per hour
which further increases the demand for income restricted affordable and market rate attainable
housing. Conversely, on the retail growth side, the report states that: “retail development does not
need to be a priority for the City.”2 A “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” land use designation will
increase the supply of residential land and any future residential subdivision on this property will need
to meet code requirements for at least 10 percent of the homes to be priced at levels that that
households earning less than 80 percent Area Median Income (AMI) can afford to purchase. Housing
affordability is undeniably one of the most important issues facing Bozeman today as evidenced by the
many past and ongoing planning efforts including:
· Goal H-3 of the Community Plan states: encourage an adequate supply of affordable housing
and land for affordable housing. The rationale further explains this need: “There will always be a
portion of the population which earns less than the median income. This may be for many
reasons. This affects the ability to find market rate housing which is adequate for basic housing
needs. Lack of adequate housing effects health, social stability, and many other issues which can
have severe negative and intergeneration effects.” 3
· This community goal is emphasized even more today by the ongoing Community Plan Update.
During the initial public outreach efforts, increasing housing affordability was listed as #3 on the
1 Bozeman Community Plan, Page 3-15
2 2018 Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment (EPS Report), Page 3 and Page 5
3 Bozeman Community Plan, Page 6-4
452
list of things that need to be improved in Bozeman. Similarly, when asked what Bozeman should
imagine for the year 2040, “More affordable” was also listed as #3. 4
· This ongoing growth policy update is guided by the Bozeman Strategic Plan which was adopted
in 2018 as a community-wide plan to guide policy and funding decisions in response to
considerable growth. Efforts were made to include a vision, strategies and action items based
upon input from a wide cross-section of the community. The Strategic Plan lists affordable
housing as the second most important priority, behind community outreach:
o 1.4 Business and Institutional Partnerships - Explore opportunities for partnerships with
key business groups and non-profit organizations.
o 4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices - Vigorously encourage, through a wide variety
of actions, the development of sustainable and lasting housing options for underserved
individuals and families and improve mobility options that accommodate all travel
modes.5
· The public engagement initiative “A Seat at the Table” (Bozeman Area Community Foundation
and Future West) recently collected information from over 900 Gallatin Valley residents over
dinner on October 25, 2018. Affordable housing was listed as one of the most pressing
challenges of our community.6
· The 2019 Community Housing Needs Assessment calls for an average of 770 to 905 housing
units per year which demonstrates the need to increase the supply of housing. Furthermore, the
assessment highlights this issue from an employer perspective. An employer survey fielded in
the fall of 2018 shows that 53 percent of nearly 500 employer respondents (representing 31
percent of jobs in the City) feel that housing that is affordable to the workforce is one of the
more serious problems in the City of Bozeman. Another 22 percent feel that it is the most
critical problem in the area.7
Approval of this amendment will allow more residential opportunities and potentially non-profit
partnerships for this key parcel. Overall, the amendment both cures a deficiency in the growth policy
and results in an improved growth policy which better responds to the needs of the general community
by elevating housing to a higher priority on the site.
b. Does the proposed amendment create inconsistencies within the growth policy, either between the
goals and the map or between goals? Why not? If inconsistencies are identified, then additional
changes must be provided to remove the inconsistencies.
No, the proposed amendment does not create inconsistencies between different goals or between the
map and goals. Since the adoption of the growth policy map and goals for this larger neighborhood, The
Trust for Public Land in partnership with the City of Bozeman is building a 60-acre community park. The
proposed amendment is intended to return some residential uses to the area to both complement and
activate the edge of the new park and support some local commercial uses in the area. The larger
neighborhood will benefit from this change, and the following points address these benefits:

· It is important to reiterate that the existing split land use designations (as well as the existing
zoning) are a direct result of the “Go Build Inc.” and “Blue Sky Development” project from 2005-
2008 which planned for a very specific mix of commercial uses and 1,200 dwelling units across
106 acres. While a commercial node in this vicinity makes sense in a broader context, it is not
required to be on this parcel. The historic use of this parcel was housing and this application
proposes a return to that use.
· With approval of this amendment, the immediate neighborhood will still contain several acres
of “Community Commercial Mixed Use.” Additionally, the Trust for Public Land and the HRDC
would be supportive of expansions to the “Community Commercial Mixed Use” land use
designations to the south and southeast should those property owners choose to also apply for
a Growth Policy Map Amendment or should the ongoing Update to the Growth Policy identify
these areas as appropriate for additional commercial uses. The Community Plan Update is
specifically exploring the notion of encouraging appropriately-sized commercial nodes within
neighborhoods.8 In the Demographic and Real Estate Market Assessment, the consultants note
that other communities have reported the difficulty of creating new un-anchored retail
locations without significant housing density. 9 This growth policy amendment would allow the
creation of a residential neighborhood that would support the adjacent community commercial
node within walking distance. This emphasis on residential is even more important on the
subject parcel now since the area to the west is a dedicated park.
· The proposed land use designation of “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” allows for a variety of
different underlying zoning designations. While this application is accompanied by a Zone Map
Amendment request of R-3 zoning to implement the smallest possible scale of this land use
designation to be most compatible with the adjacent park and residential uses farther north
and east, Table C-16 (Appendix C of the Community Plan) clipped below, shows that other
mixed-use zoning designations could also correlate with the land use category.
· The land use map, combined with a windshield survey, indicates that the adjacent industrial
district across Bridger Drive currently houses a wide variety of neighborhood type uses
including retail, offices, veterinarian services, a wellness center, a gas station/convenience
shop, an alternative school, a coffee roastery/shop, a bar and a winery with restaurant
components.
· The Cannery District, a thriving walkable medium-scale commercial center, is located less than
one mile away and is now connected to the greater neighborhood by safer pedestrian and
bicycle facilities with recent improvements to North Rouse Avenue.
· The nearby Northeast Neighborhood is comprised of a mix of residential and commercial uses
and is connected to this parcel by the existing Story Mill Spur Trail as well as the new trails in
the Story Mill Park.

· The site is also easily accessible by trail to Downtown with a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute
bike ride.
In summary, the change of 8 acres from “Community Commercial Mixed Use” + “Residential” to
“Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” will positively impact the greater neighborhood and does not create
any inconsistencies within the growth policy goals or between goals and maps.
c. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy? How?
Yes, the proposed amendment is consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy. Bozeman’s
growth policy is intended to protect the health, life, safety, and welfare of the people who live, work,
and play in the community.10 Amending this land use designation will allow the subject property to
develop with a greater emphasis on residential uses to complement the adjacent park as well as the
existing and planned commercial uses in the vicinity.
Located in the northeast quadrant, the area to the east is characterized by new subdivisions with a
mixture of higher end homes, duplexes and condominiums. Bridger Drive, the major arterial linking Main
Street to Bridger Bowl, is seeing a transition from industrial to more of a mix of commercial and
industrial businesses. Montana Department of Transportation has recently completed a major upgrade
to Bridger Drive, adding a middle turning lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The planned Main Street to
the “M” pathway is directly adjacent to the subject property. An easement was granted by TPL in 2017
to ensure the mature vegetation between the roadway and the pathway would be maintained as a
buffer for a future residential neighborhood.
The change of a small piece of “Community Commercial Mixed Use” and “Residential” to “Residential
Emphasis Mixed Use” will act as a catalyst in this area providing some appropriately scaled residential
development that complements and activates the park, respects the existing neighborhoods, and
supports existing and potentially new commercial uses. Additionally, the limitations of access on Bridger
Drive (which now includes a 10-foot wide pedestrian pathway with mature vegetation) and Story Mill
Road (note the linear park and trail that separates the subject site from Story Mill Road) support a more
residential emphasis for this site.
Finally, one of the twelve key components of the Community Plan vision statement is that: “The housing
stock provides quality, affordability, and choice.”11 The City can help to realize this vision with
implementation policies that include tools such as incentives, programs and partnerships with local non-
profits as suggested by the Strategic Plan: “explore opportunities for partnerships with key business
groups and non-profit organizations.” 12
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?
10 Bozeman Community Plan, Page 2-1
11 Bozeman Community Plan, Page 1-2
12 Bozeman Strategic Plan, Page 2
455
No, the proposed amendment does not adversely affect the community by significantly altering
acceptable existing or future land use patterns. The existing land use designations are “Community
Commercial Mixed Use” + “Residential” and the proposed land use designation is “Residential Emphasis
Mixed Use.” The proposed amendment combines the existing split designations into one cohesive
designation for the entire property with a stronger emphasis on the residential component.
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?
No, the proposed amendment will not change any required improvements to infrastructure. The site is
within the planned service area for municipal utilities. Any future development will require municipal
review for impacts and specifics for improvements and connecting to services will be outlined and
evaluated at that time. The change from “Community Commercial Mixed Use” + “Residential” to
“Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” has no substantial impacts on streets, water, sewer or any other
public facilities or services. The addition of a residential neighborhood (combined with the existing
community park) will increase the viability of commercial development on adjacent parcels by providing
a significant customer and employee base within walking distance.
iii. Adversely impacting existing uses because of unmitigated greater than anticipated impacts on
facilities and services? How does it not?
No, the proposed amendment would not adversely impact any existing uses. The addition of a
residential neighborhood will improve the park by increasing daily users and the opportunities for
informal surveillance. Similar to an “eyes on the street” approach to planning, a neighborhood in this
location will establish more “eyes on the park” and create a more active edge along the park’s western
boundary. Also, development of this parcel, in combination with the ongoing improvements to the
Story Mill Community Park will continue to incrementally improve this overall area of town and support
redevelopment projects to the south and east.
456
iv. Negatively affecting the livability of the area and the health and safety of residents? How does it
not?
No, designation of this site as “Residential Emphasis Mixed Use” is compatible with surrounding land
uses and will not negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of residents. This
designation (along with the R-3 zoning) will provide an appropriately scaled residential neighborhood to
activate the west edge of a community park and provide a customer/employee base for the existing and
potential commercial nodes near the property. This amendment will place residents adjacent to a great
community park, enhancing the livability of the area and improving resident’s health outcomes. No
negative impacts on livability or health and safety are identified.
2. If text amendment provide language to be removed from the growth policy in strikeout format on
the original pages, if new text is proposed provide new text and location to be inserted into the
growth policy.
Non-applicable – this application is for a map amendment and not a text amendment.
3. If map amendment, provide an exhibit of the property to be modified. Provide existing land use
designation and the proposed land use designation. The exhibit should include the legal limits of the
property and size in square feet and acreage.
The required exhibit has been prepared by Stahly Engineering & Associates and is being submitted as
part of this application.
