EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
None identified at this time.
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 2 of 29
Project Summary
The owner, Eastlake Professional Center LLC, a foreign limited liability company registered
in the state of Delaware, and applicant agent Eastlake Professional Center LLC submitted an
application to rezone 7.65 acre parcel from B-2 to B-2M.
The subject property is currently undeveloped with no buildings or structures on-site.
Through key infrastructure investments, namely the Davis Lane lift station, the area is an
evolving part of the City. The Davis Lane lift station is being constructed to the north and
west of subject property and across the I-90 Interstate. It is likely much of any future
development will use the lift station to provide wastewater service. Also, Billings Clinic
rezoned nearby property from R-O to B-2 on 16.8 acres, see Ordinance 2036.
The subject property was created by minor subdivision No. 221, platted in 1997 prior to
annexation in the City of Bozeman to create four (4) large tracts from a 136.8 acre parent
parcel. No infrastructure installation was required at the time of subdivision. Through the
subdivision exemption process, Lot 1A, Minor Subdivision No. 221E was created. The
property was annexed in 2004 and has remained vacant.
The primary differences between the B-2 and B-2M districts are greater building height,
more permissive residential use, and reduction of parking requirements. Building height in
the B-2 district is between 34 – 44 feet, depending on roof pitch, with an additional 50
percent height bonus (up to 66 feet) if implementing the Regional Commercial and Services
growth policy land use designation. The subject property is not within the Regional
Commercial and Services growth policy land use designation at this time. Building height in
B-2M is five (5) stories or 60 feet. Residential use is allowed on the ground floor without a
Conditional Use Permit in the B-2M zone. And finally, parking requirement in the B-2M are
reduced up to a 75 percent for residential use and 50 percent for commercial uses.
Alternatives
1. Approve the application with contingencies as presented;
2. Deny the application based on findings of non-compliance with the applicable criteria
contained within the staff report; or
3. Open and continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to
supply additional information or to address specific items.

SECTION 2 - RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES OF ZONE MAP
AMENDMENT
Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the process of the
proposed amendment.
Recommended Contingencies of Approval:
1. All documents and exhibits necessary to establish an initial municipal zoning
designation must be identified as the “Eastlake Professional Center Zone Map
Amendment”.
2. That the applicant must submit a Zone Amendment map, titled “Eastlake Professional
Center Zone Map Amendment”. The map must be supplied on: 1) a mylar for City
records (either 18" by 24" or 24” by 36” size); 2) a reduced 8 ½" x 11" or 8 ½” by 14"
exhibit for filing with the Annexation Agreement at the County Clerk & Recorder; 3) an
editable digital copy for the City Engineer’s Office; and 4) a PDF. This map must be
acceptable to the City Engineer’s Office, and must be submitted within 60 days of the
action to approve the zone map amendment. Said map shall contain a metes and bounds
legal description of the perimeter of the subject property including adjacent right-of-ways
or street easements, and total acreage of the property to be rezoned; unless the property to
be rezoned can be entirely described by reference to existing platted properties or
certificates of survey.
3. The Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant
provides an editable metes and bounds legal description prepared by a licensed
Montana surveyor.
SECTION 3 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Having considered the criteria established for a zone map amendment, the Staff recommends
approval as submitted. The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the
amendment on December 18, 2019. The DRC did not identify any infrastructure or
regulatory constraints that would impede the approval of the application.
The Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on this zone map amendment on
February 18, 2020 and will forward its recommendation to the City Commission on the zone
map amendment. The hearing will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting
will begin at 6 p.m.
The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the zone map amendment on March 9,
2020. The hearing will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at
6 p.m.
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 9 of 29
SECTION 4 - ZONE MAP AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND
FINDINGS
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission must consider the following criteria (letters A-K). 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.
A zone map amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy (criteria A) and be
designed to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B), promote public health, public
safety, and general welfare (criteria C), and facilitate the provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a
zone map amendment the Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E-K, and may find the zone map
amendment to be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the
zone map amendment, the Commission must find the positive outcomes of the amendment
outweigh negative outcomes for criteria E-K. In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff
considers the entire body of regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or
mitigated negative impacts are incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are
principally in Chapter 38, Unified Development Code.
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Yes. According to the Bozeman Community Plan, 2009 (“Plan”) the subject property is
classified as Community Commercial Mixed Use, see the Future Land Use map in section
one above. Table C-16 of the Plan details implementing zoning districts for each future land
use category. Both the B-2 and B-2M zoning designations are implementing districts for the
Community Commercial Mixed Use (CCMU) category.
The parcel is within a sizable CCMU region composed of approximately 250 acres,
excluding the designated commercial area south of Baxter Lane, which is indicative of the
intended regional commercial center. The majority of Bozeman’s large format retailers have
set up shop in the area due to their close proximity to major transportation routes and
available large parcels with supporting infrastructure. The B-2M district allows a wide
variety of uses and encourages integrated designs which furthers numerous goals and
objectives of the Plan.
The City encourages infill development. However the Plan defines “infill” as “development
or redevelopment of vacant, abandoned, or underutilized properties which are within
developed areas of the City, and where water, sewer, streets, and fire protection have already
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 10 of 29
been developed and are provided. Annexed areas located on the periphery of the City limits
shall generally not be considered infill site”.
Considerable investment by the City through the Davis Lane lift station is nearing
completion. Billings Clinic owns the property directly to the west and rezoned a portion of
their property from R-O to B-2. However, as apparent in the maps in section one, the
property and surrounding lands remain vacant. Residential development is located
approximately 1,300 to the south and the Bozeman School District’s bus barn across 27th
Street to the west.
Additionally, the proposed zone map amendment advances multiple objectives of the growth
policy:
Land Use Objective 1.4: Provide for and support infill development and redevelopment
which provides additional density of use while respecting the context of the existing
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 11 of 29
development which surrounds it. Respect for context does not automatically prohibit
difference in scale or design.
Objective 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 transportation and public services in providing employment, residential,
and other essential uses.
Community Quality Objective 1.3: “Support compatible infill within the existing area of
the City rather than developing land requiring expansion of the City’s area.”
No conflicts with the Growth Policy have been identified.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Yes. The subject property is currently served by City of Bozeman Fire and Police
Departments. Future development of the property will be required to conform to all City of
Bozeman public safety, building and land use requirements, which will ensure this criterion
is met. The change from B-2 to B-2M is not likely to adversely impact safety from fire and
other dangers.
C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare.
Yes. Future development of the site will require site plan review and compliance with the
City’s Unified Development Code which ensures the promotion of public health, safety and
general welfare. The proposed amendment will not put undue burden on municipal services,
emergency response capability, or similar existing requirements.
Further subdivision may be advantageous for the desired outcome of any development.
Subdivision standards will further public health and safety by ensuring full circulation,
infrastructure, and other support systems such as parks and open space.
D. Facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other
public requirements.
Neutral. Additional transportation, water, and sewerage, and, if residential development is
proposed, parks are required prior to occupancy of any future development. South 27th does
not meet the City’s complete streets without further installation of sidewalks and multi-modal
infrastructure. City wastewater systems will need to be extended and may require extension
of a force main to provide service. City water service is available although would require
additional service lines to become complete.
No park areas were considered with the original subdivision. If a residential component is
desired, park dedication is required.
The review processes and development standards of the City will insure all necessary
infrastructure is installed prior to use.
E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 12 of 29
Yes. Bozeman’s Unified Development Code includes requirements for providing adequate
light and air including maximum building height, lot coverage, and setback requirements.
Future redevelopment of the property will be subject to these provisions.
F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Neutral. Potential future development within a zoning district of B-2M will likely affect the
City’s motorized and non-motorized transportation system with increased traffic. Future
development may require a Traffic Impact Study to identify the extent of increased traffic
volumes and specify required infrastructure improvements to serve the development. City
standards require provisions for non-motorized transportation systems.
The subject property is an area not conducive to safe and convenient non-motorized
transportation at this time. For example, both Target and COSTCO Warehouse are
approximately 3,700 feet via the most direct pedestrian or bicycle access point. The US Post
Office does not have direct pedestrian access and sits 1.8 miles from the property.
However, the site is accessible by vehicular travel by a number of routes including East
Valley Center Road and South 27th Avenue. These conditions exist regardless of the applied
zoning district and will be reviewed and resolved with future development. The change in
zoning district will have minimal effect on required road improvements, pedestrian or bicycle
facilities, or similar compliance with standards.
G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Yes. The Growth Policy supports regional and mixed-use commercial development in the
vicinity of the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA. Adjacent roadways are designated
Collector and Arterial streets according to the Transportation Plan, 2017. As noted earlier in
this report, the property was annexed in 2004 and has remained vacant. Development interest
in the area is apparent with the Nelson Meadows industrial subdivision currently under
construction and Billings Clinic pursuing a zoning change on a parcel near the Eastlake
Professional Center ZMA property.
The property is wholly surrounded by similarly zoned commercial property making the
proposed amendment compatible with surrounding zoning uses and intents.
H. Character of the district.
Yes. Section 76-2-302, MCA says “…legislative body may divide the municipality into
districts of the number, shape, and area as are considered best suited to carry out the purposes
[promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community] of this part.”
Emphasis added.
This proposal amends the zoning map and not the text. Therefore, no element of this
amendment modifies the standards of any zoning district. The character of the districts as
created by those standards remains intact.
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 13 of 29
As noted above, the City Commission has latitude in considering the geographical extents of a
zoning district. It is not expected that zoning freeze the character of an area in perpetuity.
Rather, it provides a structured method to consider changes to the character. This is especially
true when applying zoning to undeveloped areas as any new construction will alter the physical
characteristics of the area.
The proposed amendment to B-2M would support a regional service center which is near
significant transportation routes, and along I-90 which is an appropriate adjacent land use to
the interstate. The character of the greater area is evolving while the character of the district
consists mostly of vacant land. There is an established hotel area to the south with large scale
retail further to the south. In different future land use designated areas (residential) existing
residential neighborhoods have developed including Trout Meadows, Cattail Creek
Subdivision, and other residential neighborhoods south of Catamount Street.
The growth policy states that within the Regional and Commercial Services district, “it is
appropriate that design guidelines be established to ensure compatibility with the remainder
of the community. Opportunity for a mix of uses which encourages a robust and broad
activity level is to be provided.” The establishment of B-2M zoning will allow the
development of a mix of uses with appropriate design guidelines.
I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Yes. The proposed property is bounded by B-2 zoning on two sides, a parcel of PLI (Public
Lands and Institutions) serving as the school districts’ bus barn, and a roadway on the other
side. In addition, staff concurs with the applicant statement that, “The proposed zone change
does not represent a significant change from the current B-2 zone and it is consistent with
adjacent zoning, current and proposed uses in the area, and the Bozeman Community Plan
for future land uses. Multiple commercial and residential uses currently exist within
proximity to the subject site. Additionally, a B-2M zoning designation will encourage
support services and employment opportunities correspondent to possible uses within the site
and between adjacent sites. This property site will have flexibility to promote a cohesive
neighborhood pattern that will connect adjacent roadways and corridors, and extend existing
public infrastructure.”
J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Yes. There are no existing buildings on the site, therefore the proposed zoning amendment
would not affect any on-site building values. B-2M zoning will allow for new and diverse
development patterns on the subject parcel that compliment development on adjacent sites.
There are no existing buildings on contiguous sites. Future development must comply with
the Bozeman Unified Development Code which will ensure an appropriate scale and
intensity of uses. As a result, the proposed zone map amendment is not anticipated to
negatively impact nearby building values as the development pattern will be appropriate to
the surrounding character of the district.
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 14 of 29
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Yes. The proposed B-2M zone map amendment will encourage the most appropriate use of
land as the growth policy was recently amended to designate the property as “Regional
Commercial and Services,” which the proposed B-2M designation will implement. By
maintaining zoning in a manner consistent with the Community Plan’s future land use map,
the City’s coordinated plan for the jurisdictional area will be implemented to encourage the
most appropriate use of land throughout the City.
Spot Zoning Criteria
Rezoning may, in certain factual circumstances, constitute impermissible “spot zoning.” The
issue of whether a rezoning constitutes spot zoning was discussed by the Montana Supreme
Court in Plains Grains LP v. Board of County Comm’rs of Cascade County and Little v. Bd. Of
County Comm’rs, in which the Court determined that the presence of the following three
conditions generally will indicate that a given situation constitutes spot zoning, regardless of
variations in factual scenarios.
1. Is the proposed use significantly different from the prevailing land uses in the area?
No. This criterion includes the modifier ‘significantly.’ It is not prohibited to have
uses that are different. To be a Yes, the reviewer must demonstrate a ‘significant
difference.’
The differences between B-2 and B-2M are small and not significant. Allowed uses
are identical although their integration into a single building does vary. As noted
above, parking requirements are considerably less in the B-2M district that the B-2
district. As a result, the proposed B-2M zoning designation would not result in
primary uses of the site which are significantly different from prevailing land uses in
the area.
2. Is the area requested for the rezone rather small in terms of the number of separate
landowners benefited from the proposed change?
Yes. The proposed zoning change benefits one property owner. However, the B-2M
zoning designation is an implementing district to the commercial land use designation
and may be utilized by any other property owners who wish to employ the B-2M
district to their respective property. In addition, there is no difference in permitted
uses between a B-2 and B-2M district. As noted in the applicant response to this
criterion, the proposed change will not inhibit potential development on adjacent
properties.
3. Would the change be in the nature of “special legislation” designed to benefit only one
or a few landowners at the expense of the surrounding landowners or the general
public?
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 15 of 29
No. No substantial negative impacts to the surrounding landowners or the general
public have been identified due to this amendment. While the number of landowners
who will directly benefit from the proposed zone map amendment is small (one), the
proposed amendment is not at the expense of surrounding landowners or the general
public. As discussed above in the various review criteria, no substantial negative
impacts have been identified due to this amendment. The proposed B-2M zoning
designation will allow for a variety of uses conducive to the Regional Commercial
land use designation.

APPENDIX A - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND
BACKGROUND
A zone map amendment requesting amendment of the City Zoning Map for an existing
lot consisting of approximately 7.65 acres and the accompanying adjacent right-of way
from B-2 (Community Business District) to B-2M (Community Business District-
Mixed).
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 16 of 29
The subject property was created by minor subdivision No. 221, platted in 1997 prior to
annexation in the City of Bozeman to create four (4) large tracts from a 136.8 acre parent
tract. No infrastructure installation was required. Through the subdivision exemption process,
Lot 1A, Minor Subdivision No. 221E was created. The property was annexed in 2004 and
has remained vacant.
The subject property is currently undeveloped with no buildings or structures on-site.
Through key infrastructure investments, namely the Davis Lane lift station, the area is an
evolving part of the City. The Davis Lane lift station is being constructed to the north and
west of subject property and across the I-90 Interstate. It is likely much of any future
development will use the lift station to provide wastewater service. Also, Billings Clinic
rezoned nearby property from R-O to B-2 on 16.8 acres, see Ordinance 2036.
APPENDIX B - 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 February 2 and 9, 2020. The Zoning Commission hearing is scheduled for February 18,
2020 and the City Commission public hearing is scheduled for March 9, 2020.
There have been no comments as of the date this report was written.
APPENDIX C - PROJECT GROWTH POLICY AND PROPOSED ZONING
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as community commercial mixed use in the Bozeman Community
Plan future land use map – see descriptions below.
“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
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 17 of 29
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.”
As Table C-16 from the Bozeman Community Plan shows, the proposed zoning of B-2M is
an implementing district for the future land use designation of “Community Commercial
Mixed Use”.
Proposed Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The applicant has requested zoning of B-2M (Community Business District-Mixed). The intent
of the B-2M district is “.. to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates
19499, Staff Report for the Eastlake Professional Center ZMA Page 18 of 29
substantial growth and enhances the character of the city. This district provides for a range of
commercial uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages
the integration of multi-household residential as a secondary use. Design standards emphasizing
pedestrian oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is appropriate
for arterial corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit”.
Table 38.310.040.A Permitted general and group residential uses in residential zoning
districts
