Thanks for your assistance last night. Thanks, Ryan Krueger, AICP CFM Senior Planner intrinsik architecture, inc. 111 north tracy avenue bozeman, montana 59715 t. 406.582.8988 x206 www.intrinsikarchitecture.com Growth Policy Comments (City) Planning Board Tuesday, January 21, 2020 1 Request #1, Option #1: Request that the properties outlined in orange above remain designated as the Industrial Plan Category as they are described in the current Growth Policy Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Justification: A recent request to reclassify the area outlined in green in the above figure as Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use, submitted on January 6, 2020 and approved by motion by the Planning Board on January 14, 2020, could effectively create significant “non-conforming” situations for the properties outlined in orange. Moreover, the inclusion of the NEHMU Zoning District in the Zoning Correlation Table for Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use Plan Category areas would not permit uses that already exist on these sites (i.e. Manufacturing, Heavy). 2 Request #1, Option #2: Another option to address the creation of “non-conforming” situations would be the addition of the M1 Zoning to the Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use Plan Category within the Zoning Correlation Table (above figure). Justification: As has been previously addressed, a recent request to reclassify the area shown in green in Figure 1 as Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use could effectively create significant “non- conforming” situations. Moreover, the proposed inclusion of the NEHMU Implementing Zoning District in the Zoning Correlation Table for Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use Plan Category would not permit uses that are established on these sites (Ex. Manufacturing, Heavy). The requested addition of M1 Zoning to the Commercial Emphasis Mixed Use Plan Category within the Zoning Correlation Table would resolve a number of these concerns and allow existing and established uses to operate and further develop should they so choose. Growth Policy Comments (City) Planning Board Tuesday, January 21, 2020 1 Request #2: The Board’s addition of the B-1 Zoning District to the Urban Residential Plan Category begs the question “Why not also add B-1 Zoning to the Residential Emphasis Mixed Use Plan Category?”. Therefore, we are requesting that B-1 Zoning be added to the Residential (Emphasis) Mixed Use Plan Category (see above). Justification: Whereas the draft Growth Policy describes the Urban Neighborhood land use category as appropriate for “some neighborhood-serving commerce”, the Residential (Emphasis) Mixed Use land use category is described as appropriate to be “integrated with small-scale commercial … uses”. The intent of the B-1 Zoning District, as described in the effective UDC, is to provide “neighborhood business district(s) … for smaller scale retail and service activities frequently required by neighborhood residents on a day to day basis”. Thus, it appears from the UDC definition of B-1 that this zoning district would be appropriate to include the Zoning Correlation Table for both the Urban Neighborhood and Residential (Emphasis) Mixed Use Plan Categories.
