Transtech Way Billings, MT 59102 RE: Billings Clinic Bozeman Campus PUD Concept Review, Application 19527 Project Description: This is a Conceptual Review application for advice and comments on a proposed Planned Unit Development for a medical mixed use campus on 58 acres. A portion of the property is zoned B-2 and another is within the county. Project Location: Western corner of East Valley Center Road and North 27th Avenue. Lot 2A, Minor Subdivision 221E We hope that these notes and suggestions assist you with the design and review of this potential future project. Please note that comments are preliminary and based on information provided. While we attempt to identify as many issues as we can during an informal review, please keep in mind that there may be other issues that arise during the formal review. A concept plan submittal does not include all required information for formal review and comments are therefore generalized. We appreciate your patience in the review process. All references below to Sections of the Bozeman Municipal Code. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 406-582-2260. Per section 38.230.090 plan review procedures, the primary focus of conceptual review is to identify site specific challenges and/or constraints to critical path elements which will affect review process or submittal requirements. Staff has not performed an exhaustive review. Full review occurs with the formal application. Further development and site analysis of this proposed project for completion of the formal submittal is the responsibility of the Design Professional. Additional comments may arise with submittal of new information or changes to the development. Regards, Sarah Rosenberg, AICP Associate Planner c: Billings Clinic, 2800 10th Avenue North, Billings, MT 59101 Donald & Cecilia Vaniman, 5020 Westlake Road, Bozeman, MT 59718 Page 2 of 8 All references are to the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC). Planning Division; Sarah Rosenberg, srosenberg@bozeman.net Code Provisions 1. The applicant shall submit with the next, formal application for Preliminary PUD Plan review and approval, a written narrative stating how they have responded to each of these comments. This narrative shall be in sufficient detail to direct the reviewer to the appropriate plat, plan, sheet, note, covenant, etc. in the submittal. 2. The PUD must conform to the requirements of the Unified Development Code criteria listed out in BMC 38.430. A PUD is a discretionary approval and the review authority must find that the overall development is superior to that offered by the basic existing zoning standards. The obligation to show a superior outcome is the responsibility of the applicant as conveyed by the PUD development/design guidelines per section 38.430.070.D.2. 3. Formal applications for the preliminary PUD must be submitted within one calendar year of the date of this comment letter. 4. The proposed development manual shall include a section which clearly indicates portions that rely upon approval of the PUD, and identify a summary of items associated with relaxations and PUD performance. The City of Bozeman will rely upon the overall design standards required as part of the planned unit development application. The design standards and manual may not be altered without consent of the City. BMC 38.430 PUD Review Criteria This section highlights the intent of a PUD and emphasizes the creativity and design excellence that must take place. Read this section it its entirety. Anything design and development related must be included within the PUD Development Manual and be accompanied by written and graphic material sufficient to illustrate the initial and final conditions (BMC 38.430.030). 5. Phasing of PUD. This proposed phasing plan for the PUD application must follow procedures established for pre-application review as outlined in this division 38.430 for approval of a phased planned unit development. Provide draft development design guidelines with the preliminary PUD for phasing. A phasing map/plan is required for this application. 6. Provide an exhibit with the preliminary PUD that demonstrates the connectivity between each building and the proposed open spaces. There needs to be a system of hard surfaces and ADA accessibility between each building and the open spaces. The open spaces must be clearly delineated with the limits of each area, dimensions, and whether they are proposed as private or public access. A PUD open space landscape plan is required with the preliminary application. 7. PUD Development Design Objectives & Criteria. Ensure that each of the applicable questions under 38.430.090.E.2 are answered. The following are comments based on this review criteria. a) Performance Points. These points are measured as a percentage based on the number of points you are using per category. i) Additional Open Space (1) In order to achieve 1.25 points for additional open space, the identified open space must meet the definition of usable open space (38.700.140). Any area that is within the Page 3 of 8 watercourse setback is not considered usable open space and therefore cannot be counted. (2) If a residential component is going to be provided, parkland will be required. Please be aware that the amount of performance points towards open space could be impacted by the requirement for parkland. We suggest using the minimum number of performance points for open space and set aside a bank for parkland (BMC. 38.420). This park would allow you to offset parkland dedication with future residential development. Please contact Addi Jadin with the Parks Department. (3) Ensure there is emphasis and separation between the design of soft scape (parks) and hardscape (plazas, pedestrian corridors). (4) Include an open space/parkland map with the Preliminary PUD application. This does not mean that every open space and/or park is identified, but similar to the one that was submitted with this application, the larger areas should be identified. Design guidelines must be provided for the open space areas (i.e. for small pocket parks, open space plazas, large open space areas, etc.). (5) A section is required in the development manual on Open Space and Recreation. Consider the following to include within the manual: (a) Linkages between open spaces, pedestrian corridors, parks, perimeter greenways (b) What form the parking for open spaces will be (i.e. street parking, parking lot) (c) Identify how the trail system will work within the project. This should include a section in the manual that details what materials are used, width, seating, trail markers, recreational uses, amenities, etc. (6) BMC 38.550.050.M Open Space Landscaping. Review this section for PUD Open Space Landscaping standards. (a) Consider tree spacing standards where there is less space between each tree (i.e. one large canopy tree per 40 feet instead of per 50 feet). Consult with City Forester. (b) Highlight an approved plant list and where they would be located (open space vs. parking lots, street trees vs. corridors). Strive to exceed drought tolerant species beyond what the BMC requires which is 75%. (c) Consider including gardens (i.e. to provide food for cafeteria or community garden), greenhouses, and raised beds throughout the development. (7) Get in contact with City Parks Department on management/dedication of open space. ii) Low Impact Development (1) Explain how this development is going to lessen stormwater runoff by 30%. This percentage is measured based on the number of points proposed. (2) Emphasize LID techniques throughout common parking areas, stormwater collection and treatment (i.e. bioswales, permeable pavers), retention areas, pedestrian hardscapes and plazas, parking lots, runoff, etc... Ensure that the concept is easily embraced and able to be incorporated per each site plan. (3) Consider utilizing a roof drain water capture system for landscape irrigation. (4) Highlight ecological functions throughout the development. Consider utilizing interpretive signage to mark special environmental features, key points such as the creek, wetlands, and LID techniques. Page 4 of 8 (5) Contact City Water Conservation Department (Jessica Ahlstrom) to further discuss LID techniques. (6) See comments from Engineering for further standards and guidelines. iii) Sustainable Design & Construction (1) Explain how your site will use sustainable measures such as Energy Use Intensity, vehicle miles traveled, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by at least 30%. (2) Consider emphasizing building orientation for solar gain and/or shade to reduce energy consumption. (3) Detail how the majority of buildings will be LEED certified buildings or equivalent certification. The development manual should emphasize on techniques such as energy efficient equipment, sustainable materials, locally produced materials, how to address heat thermal effect, indoor-outdoor transitions, windows, etc. (4) Consider emphasis on PV panels, green roofs, shading devices. (5) Highlight goals for the campus on innovative sustainability techniques. (6) Since the medical field is a higher user of water and resources, consider developing a program or standard that details strategies on how to minimize water use and energy consumption. (7) In order to minimize travel distance and vehicle miles traveled, staff recommends including a residential component within the development. If this approach is not taken, explain how this development would otherwise reduce vehicle miles traveled. This could be correlated with bus stop performance points. (8) Consider compact development patterns that are often reflected in urban settings than what is typical in suburban settings. (9) Consider different sustainable development strategies based on scale. See example below: Page 5 of 8 iv) Wayfinding (1) Wayfinding plan needs to be completely detailed with Preliminary PUD and must exceed minimum standards as mentioned in BMC 38.560.070. A Wayfinding District must be created. (2) Provide design for all types of signage (monument signs, entry signs, directional signs, map directories, etc.) v) Public Transportation (1) Route must be identified to receive points. A letter from Streamline is required. (2) Explain how these surfaces will affect 10% of your vehicle miles traveled. (3) Design examples must be provided. (4) Provide clear route to public transportation to encourage its use. (5) Review 38.400.120 for public transportation standards. b) Neighborhood Center. Per BMC 38.410.020, the PUD is required to have a neighborhood center. Review this section for further criteria and the following in mind: i) Consider including residential components within the neighborhood center. This could be in the form of residential over commercial, townhouse/rowhouse dwellings, or an apartment building. ii) The neighborhood center must include a principal street with buildings oriented on it (see more on Storefront Block Frontage Standards BMC 38.510.030.B). iii) Consider promenades throughout this section that connect to adjacent areas. 8. Proposed Relaxations. Ensure that each relaxation is identified on a map or key similar to that height relaxation map that was provided. a) BMC 38.320.050 Building Height. Staff is in general support of the building height relaxation, however, with the preliminary PUD application, the following needs to be included: Page 6 of 8 i) Provide a view shed corridor study from different areas and how the building height will impact them. Beyond the floor step back technique to mitigate for the height, consideration must be taken such as how the height of the building will impact the open space, views to the mountains, and the shadow the building casts and the impacts it has. b) BMC 38.560 Signage. Provide a maximum allowance for signage allowed per building. Guidelines must be provided within the Development Manual. A comprehensive signage plan is required. See BMC 38.560.080 for requirements. c) Staff has identified the following possible relaxations: i) Alternative Street Section. It appears that the street sections that were provided within the narrative could not meet street section width standards. A relaxation is required for any street section that does not meet city approved standards. Identify widths and where they would be located. Contact Griffin Nielsen with the Engineering Department any needed clarification. PUD Design Objectives and Criteria The following are comments in regards to the overall design intent of the PUD, suggestions for the Development Manual, and standards that need to be met from the BMC. 9. Block Length and Width. With the Preliminary PUD application, a roadway and connectivity map must be included. This detailed map must emphasize on street orientation, grid, and the types of streets. Staff would not be in support of a relaxation for block length and width as there are alternative approaches to minimizing block length like pedestrian access easements. The following could assist in identifying the layout of the blocks: a) A phasing plan can help create block and lot development without creating a full street network system. This will also assist with lot development for purposes of site plan and block frontage standards. b) The Master Site Plan for infrastructure could also assist with the layout of the blocks to help determine block length and width. 10. Community Design Framework Master Plan. a) Per 38.510.020, a community design framework map is required. This map must identify the proposed block frontages that will exist throughout the development. Within this plan, staff recommends that emphasis be put on the following when considering the block frontages: b) Street frontage relationships – The Development Manual must reflect how each use and building will relate to the street frontage and edge. Identify the difference between building’s relationship towards the park/open space, medical uses, and supporting uses. Staff recommends some form of a “town center” that has storefront block frontage. c) Street sections must be included within the plan to call out how the buildings react to the street. 11. Site Design. Ensure that the character of the site and development is superior to that produced by the existing standards established by BMC 38.520 Site Planning and Design Elements. a) Consider providing pedestrian bridges for safe and continuous pedestrian movement throughout the site. b) Consider providing wider sidewalks throughout the development. c) Ensure that thought is put into minimized number of driveway entrances. d) Internal roadway design standards will apply to this development. Page 7 of 8 e) Will drive-through facilities be developed within this project? f) Discuss utilities and services with NorthWestern Energy. g) Program amenities so that they face common areas such as open space, plazas, or parks and not the back of house/building. 12. Building Design. Beyond the standards set by BMC 38.530, staff recommends that cohesive design elements (i.e. materials, architectural features, etc.) be reflected throughout the development and design guidelines be set to ensure individual site plans can follow them. Ensure to emphasize sustainable design techniques. 13. Parking Standards. The following are comments on parking lots, parking garages, and landscaping. Consider the following as suggestions to meet the intent of the PUD. However, ensure that the PUD Development Manual meets the BMC standards. a) Future redevelopment – Consider how the layout of the surface parking lots could be redeveloped as pad sites for future buildings as trends, parking, and uses change. b) BMC 38.550.050.C Parking Lot Landscaping. Consider increasing provisions for landscaping within parking lots. c) BMC 38.510.030.M Structured Parking Standards. Review this section for building standards for structured parking. Consider the following to include within the development manual. i) Pedestrian linkages between structure parking, buildings, and common space. ii) Rooftop treatment that could include the following - green roofs, PV panels, shading devises. iii) Car share programs or charging stations within the structure. d) Consider providing significant amount of secure covered bike parking. 14. Parking Count Analysis. The preliminary plan submittal shall identify the uses to be allowed in the nonresidential spaces and buildings, both as proposed and for potential future allowed uses. Parking must be analyzed based upon those uses. 2019 Community Plan Although the updated Community Plan has not officially been adopted, staff recommends that the team review the 2019 Community Draft Plan. Elements of the plan are subject to change as it is currently being reviewed by the Planning Board and eventually will be reviewed and adopted by the City Commission. Nevertheless, goals and objectives within this plan should be considered for the development of this project. Climate Action Plan The City is currently in the works of a Climate Action Plan with the hope to adopt it summer 2020. The City also adopted Resolution no. 4866 to continue to support the Paris Climate Agreement in 2017. Please contact Natalie Meyer, Sustainable Program Manager for more information.

Water and Sewer Division, John Alston, jalston@bozeman.net, 406-582-3200 MEMORANDUM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TO: Sarah Rosenberg, Associate Planner FROM: Griffin Nielsen, Project Engineer RE: Billings Clinic Campus Preliminary PUD Concept APPLICATION No. 19527 DATE: February 5, 2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGINEERING COMMENTS: The applicant is advised to submit a master site plan prior to a future Preliminary PUD application for the development build-out infrastructure in order to determine scale and scope of infrastructure phasing. The preliminary application doesn’t indicate the build-out scope of infrastructure, so it is difficult to determine how the proposed infrastructure relates to near-term future improvements. Transportation 1. Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) 38.220.060.A.12. A traffic impact study is required in order to review phasing and street layout for the development. 2. BMC 38.400.010. and 38.410.040: The proposed street grid presented on the sheets titled Development Area Exhibit does not meet the City’s block length standards per 38.410.040. Please be advised of the following: a. Inadequate information has been provided in the application to determine if the street presently connecting North 27th and East Valley Center meets the City’s access separation requirements. b. As proposed, North 27th Ave must be constructed to City collector standards with the first phase of development. c. Demonstrate how block length standards will be met and the build-out phasing associated with the street grid through the project. 3. BMC 38.400.010. The proposed street sections in the application do not meet City standards. The City will not accept nonstandard streets unless a relaxation is requested and approved through the PUD process and the property owner or property owner’s association accepts maintenance responsibility for any non-standard street in perpetuity. All collector and arterial street improvements must meet City standard requirements and be dedicated to the City upon construction completion. 4. Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) 38.400.110. and 38.410.120: A trail network must be construction through the property as defined in the City Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails (PROST) Plan and Transportation Master Plan. In addition, the applicant is encouraged to coordinate with the Bozeman public transit service (Streamline) to incorporate service into the development. Water and Sewer: 1. BMC 38.410.070: The application indicated a request for PUD concurrent construction; however, additional items are required to approve concurrent construction. The applicant must review BMC section 38.270.030 for the requirements of PUD concurrent construction and respond to all items in the referenced code section with the PUD application. 2. The application indicates connection of sanitary sewer mains to the the City’s Norton East Ranch Outfall (CIP No. WWIF138) and the Davis Lane Lift Station (CIP No. WWIF31 and WWIF24) projects. Design of those projects is complete with construction to follow. The City is currently waiting on permitting approvals from multiple State and private regulatory authorities for this work. Additionally, there is risk associated with a 60-inch bore underneath the freeway, railroad tracks, and frontage roads. The City can not guarantee the timing of these projects as the timing is currently outside the City’s control. 3. Each phase of development must connect to the water distribution system at a minim of two points to allow a redundant feed (per City of Bozeman Engineering Design and Specifications Section V.A. 5). 4. Any easement (on or offsite) required for the construction of public infrastructure needed in order to develop the property must be provided prior to PUD or Master Site Plan approval. 5. Due to the high groundwater and increased rate of corrosion within clay soils, the applicant must provide a corrosion analysis with the infrastructure design report for the project and provide sufficient corrosion protection of water mains to be constructed for the project. 6. BMC 38.410.130. Water rights and/or payment of cash-in-lieu of water right is required prior to development for the demand on the City’s potable water system. The development’s annual water demand profile must be provided with a preliminary PUD or Master Site Plan application. The analysis should include ananalysis of meter records from the owners existing facilities. The applicant is advised to contact Brian Heaston with the Engineering Department for additional questions on the requirements of 38.410.130 Stormwater: 7. BMC 38.410.080: The City Engineering department is generally in support of advanced LID technology in stormwater design for PUD performance points.

The following recommendations will help meet performance points outlined in the Low Impact Development and Sustainable Design and Construction methods outlined in the Concept Plan. Indoor Water Use We strongly recommend the installation of the following indoor plumbing fixtures and appliances: Lavatories High efficiency WaterSense® labeled plumbing fixtures. Specifically, we recommend installing WaterSense® labeled:  Toilets using 1.28 gallons/flush or less  Urinals using 0.125 gallons/flush or less  Faucets using 1.0 gallons/flush or less and;  Showerheads using 1.5 gallons/minute or less. Laundry High efficiency commercial or industrial washing machines. If installing commercial machines, Energy Star® labeled machines are recommended. Commercial Kitchen High efficiency commercial kitchen appliances. Please see Attachment A for high efficiency commercial kitchen equipment specifications. Outdoor Water Use Vegetation We strongly recommend the installation of drought tolerant plants (shrubs, perennials, trees), as well as drought tolerant native seed in lieu of turfgrass in any low-traffic areas. Contact the City’s Water Conservation Division for a list of drought tolerant plants. Irrigation Maximizing efficiencies of the irrigation system with proper system design, maintenance and technology will be important to keep the landscape in good condition while using only the amount of water needed for the landscape. The following are recommended irrigation components to install for maximum water use efficiency: a. Subsurface drip irrigation for turf in boulevards and other areas less than 8 ft. wide in any direction. b. If overhead pop-up spray is used for turf, installation of high efficiency MSMT rotary nozzles. c. Drip irrigation for landscape beds and subsurface bubblers for trees. d. Weather based irrigation controller e. Rain/freeze sensor and/or soil moisture sensor. f. Flow sensor. Hydrozoning, installing MSMT nozzles, weather based irrigation controllers and rain sensors on a properly functioning system can result in significant water savings. a. MSMT nozzles can reduce water lost to wind drift and evaporation by 30%-50%. b. Rain and soil moisture sensors can reduce water used on the landscape by 35%. c. Weather based irrigation controllers can increase water use efficiency by 30%-45%. The following irrigation system design and performance standards are recommended to promote water conservation and facilitate continuity between efficient irrigation system design, proper irrigation component installation, and ongoing maintenance. i. Complete an irrigation system design that includes at a minimum: a. A drawing to the same scale as the landscape plan b. An Irrigation Design Plan that should accurately and clearly identify: i. Property boundaries, existing and future right of way lines. ii. North arrow, title block with name of project, sheet name, company identification including address, phone number and name of person preparing plan and date. iii. Graphical and written scale - sheet size and scale to match the approved landscape plan(s). iv. Existing and proposed structures and paving. v. Proposed grades or spot elevations in sloped or bermed areas. vi. Location, model and size of all components of the irrigation system along with typical detail sheet. vii. Location of the water source(s) and the amount legally and physically available. Include all water rights and permit numbers and other identifiers, if applicable. 1. The source, psi and flow rate available from the source determines the irrigation system design and level of efficiency. Applicant should determine this information prior to final irrigation system design and include this information. viii. Static water pressure at the point of connection. ix. Each zone or station shall be designed to achieve head to head coverage with matched precipitation rates and list the: 1. Zone number. 2. Design operating pressure. 3. Flow rate. 4. Application rate (inches per hour). 5. Location, number and size of water tap(s), meter(s) and backflow preventer(s). 6. Location and size of each hydrozone (low, moderate, high) showing: a. Square footage of turf areas. b. Square footage of planting bed areas. c. Square footage of seeded areas. d. Site water requirements. e. Method of irrigation used for each hydrozone (sub-surface, drip, microspray, pop up, rotor). For hydrozones identified as spray, it is recommended to utilize MSMT nozzles. f. NOTE: For boulevards it is highly recommended that subsurface drip for turf, landscapes and sub-surface bubblers to trees be used. x. Calculated Annual Irrigation Water Use xi. Any zone(s) using non-potable water. xii. Seasonal irrigation system maintenance schedule. ii. Irrigation designs for sites with greater than 1 ½” meters should also accurately and clearly include (in addition to the above requirements):  Pressure loss worksheet.  Irrigation schedule showing total run times, zone runtimes, number of cycles, frequency of irrigation for each zone.

(dipper wells typically have a flow rate of .5 to 1 gpm).  If the facility has enough utensils to run full dishwater loads, consider installing an ENERGY STAR® qualified, commercial under counter dishwasher to replace the dipper well to wash utensils after use. WaterSense® Pre-Rinse Spray Valves - Flow rate of 1.15 gallons per minute or less9 (flow rates exist as low as 0.65gpm)10 o Compared to 2.5 gpm nozzle can save as much as 28,000 gallons of water. Food Disposals - Purchase a garbage disposal with a load sensor to regulate the amount of water conveyed through the disposal depending upon whether it is in use or idling. - Install a food pulper or food pulper/strainer combination system, which can recycle 75% of water used for the food disposal process. - Replace mechanical food disposals systems with strainers, which use little to no water.

Smaller‐growing species are best reserved for limited growing sites. Recommended species include: american elm, hackberry, honeylocust, linden, freeman maple, norway maple, sugar maple, bur oak, and red oak.  To increase tree diversity, the Forestry Division recommends the following species, rarely represented in our urban forest: alder (single‐trunk), paper birch, river birch, ohio buckeye, amur chokecherry, hackberry, amur maackia, bur oak, red oak, serviceberry (single‐trunk).  Complete descriptions are available in the City of Bozeman Street Tree Guide.
