Commission Memorandum
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The phasing plan for subdivision does not comply with code requirements. The proposed construction of Laurel Parkway in two phases does not comply with
the requirements in Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) Section 38.400.010.A.2, which requires the developer must arrange the streets to provide for the continuation of streets between adjacent developed properties when such a continuation is necessary for the effective provision of emergency services and efficient provision of utilities. Nor does it comply with the City’s Growth Policy (both 2009 and 2020 version) and the 2017 Transportation Master Plan. The
applicant has not changed the proposed phasing plan to comply with the requirement and this report includes a recommendation that requires the phasing plan to be revised to comply with code requirements prior to final plat approval.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Open and continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to staff or the
applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time, but will include increased
property tax revenues from new development, along with increased costs to deliver municipal
services to the property. Impact fees will be collected at the time of issuance of building permits for individual developments along with City sewer and water connection fees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
The phasing plan for subdivision does not comply with code requirements. The
proposed construction of Laurel Parkway in two phases does not comply with the
requirements in Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) Section 38.400.010.A.2, which
requires the developer must arrange the streets to provide for the continuation of streets
between adjacent developed properties when such a continuation is necessary for the
effective provision of emergency services and efficient provision of utilities. Nor does it
comply with the City’s Growth Policy (both 2009 and 2020 version) and the 2017
Transportation Master Plan. The applicant has not changed the proposed phasing plan
102
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 2 of 29
to comply with the requirement and this report includes a recommendation that requires
the phasing plan to be revised to comply with code requirements prior to final plat
approval. A further analysis and findings is provided in a separate memo from the
Engineering Division on this issue.
Project Summary
The applicant, Norton Properties LLC is proposing to subdivide 79.3 acres in order to
create 148 lots: 124 residential single household, 14 affordable single household
detached lots, 5 common open space lots, 5 City park lots, 4 restricted development
lots, and dedicated right of ways. The developable portion of the project is 38 acres
while the 4 restricted lots are roughly 41 acres. The developable portion of the project
borders West Babcock to the south, Laurel Parkway to the east, Vaughn Drive to the
north, and South Eldorado Avenue to the west. The four restricted lots, east of Laurel
Parkway, are subject to further subdivision review.
The applicant has decided that Phase 5 of Norton Ranch will also include four restricted
lots east of Laurel Parkway. Those lots are subject to further subdivision. Phase 5 which
will be developed in four total phases includes Laurel Parkway and everything west of it.
New conditions have been added to the staff report since the Planning Board based on
the applicant’s proposal of their phasing plan. See condition number 33.
The subdivision’s first phase will start with Phases 5A which includes all 14 affordable
housing lots. These affordable housing lots are expected to be detached 3-bedroom
lower priced homes (10% of the total of 70% AMI). Although all 14 lots are along
Boomtown Road and clustered together, it was deemed an appropriate layout based on
lot size, design placement and the fact that the City receives affordable housing lots that
are oriented onto the street in the first phase of development.
The developer is proposing single family detached throughout this phase, however,
many of the lots within the subdivision can accommodate for different types of housing
that are allowed in the R-2 and R-3 zone district based on lot size requirements.
A large City park is set to be constructed with Phase 5D that contains wetlands which
are planned to be preserved and additional plantings provided to keep its natural
habitat. A trail along the west side of the development is proposed to connect to the
existing trails from Norton Ranch Subdivision Phase 3 to the south to Lakes at Valley
West to the north. This trail through linear park 5C and 5d initially was proposed to be
constructed in two phases. However, at the Planning Board meeting on Monday,
November 16, the board stressed to the applicant that the trail on the western portion of
the development through linear park 5C and 5D should be completed with the first
phase of development. The applicant has agreed to construct the linear park and the
trails with Phase 5A as outlined in condition number 34.
103
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 3 of 29
In addition of speaking to the trail phasing at the Planning Board meeting, the board
commented on desiring to see a diversity of housing in the development and the
unresolved issue of the construction of Laurel Parkway. The Planning board highly
recommend to the applicant that they provide a diversity of housing beyond just single
family detached houses. The applicant responded that as a whole, Norton Ranch
provides a diversity of housing that includes townhomes/rowhomes and multifamily
development. The R-4 zone district to the west of Laurel and the lots along Huffine are
expected to provide higher density housing.
The applicant spoke to the Planning Board in regards to the unresolved issue of the
phasing of Laurel Parkway arguing that the transportation impact study determined that
the houses built in Phase 5A can be serviced by the portion of Laurel Parkway. They
also included that all affordable housing lots are provided in Phase 5a and the additional
costs of building the entirety of Laurel Parkway puts a burden on them. Hearing this, the
Planning Board amended the motion to remove code provision number 4 to allow Laurel
Parkway be constructed in two phases based on the phasing plan that was provided by
the applicant. The Planning Board approved this motion 6:0. A full recording of the
meeting can be reviewed at the following link:
https://media.avcaptureall.com/session.html?sessionid=d506ca4c-e3f2-407d-9cfa-
1bdaf9d33b20&prefilter=654,3835
From to this amendment in the motion, the Engineering Division has provided additional
findings for requiring Laurel Parkway to be constructed in one phase. See attached
memo.
The City of Bozeman Department of Community Development received a preliminary
plat application on July 3, 2018, requesting a major subdivision. The project was
deemed inadequate for review and review halted until revised materials were provided.
The City of Bozeman didn’t receive a second submittal until September 24, 2019. At this
time with new information provided and a new phasing plan proposed, there were major
concerns from the City involving wetlands, transportation, road layout, and phasing. The
applicant and the City continued to work through these issues in the April 24, 2020,
August 5, 2020, September 25, 2020, and October 16, 2020 submittals. The application
was deemed adequate on October 29, 2020 with the unresolved issue of the phasing on
the construction of Laurel Parkway.
The final decision for a Major Subdivision must be made within 60 working days of the
date it was deemed adequate, or in this case, by December 28, 2020. The City
Commission is scheduled to review the preliminary plat and make a decision at their
December 1, 2020 public hearing.

Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.130, BMC.
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards
and City Commission shall consider the following:
119
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 19 of 29
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision
and Platting Act
The preliminary plat has been prepared in accordance with the survey requirements of
the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered in the
State of Montana. As noted in recommended condition of approval number 2, the final
plat must comply with State statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman
Municipal Code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat shall comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman
Municipal Code (BMC). The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code
provisions that are not specifically listed as a condition of approval, does not, in any way,
create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal
Code or State law. Sections 2 and 3 of this report identify conditions and code
requirements necessary to meet all regulatory standards. Therefore, upon satisfaction of
all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will comply with the local subdivision
regulations.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6
of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The City of Bozeman Department of Community Development received a preliminary plat
application on July 3, 2018, requesting a major subdivision. The project was deemed
inadequate for review and review halted until revised materials were provided. Revised
materials were submitted on September 24, 2019, April 24, 2020, August 5, 2020,
September 25, 2020, and October 16, 2020. The application was deemed adequate on
October 29, 2020 and review continued. The final decision for a Major Subdivision must
be made within 60 working days of the date it was deemed adequate, or in this case, by
December 28, 2020. The City Commission is scheduled to review the preliminary plat and
make a decision at their December 1, 2020 public hearing.
The hearings before the Planning Board and City Commission have been properly noticed
as required by the Bozeman Municipal Code. Based on the recommendation of the DRC
and other applicable review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the
matter, the Planning Board shall forward a recommendation to the City Commission who
will make the final decision on the applicant’s request.
The final decision for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with less than 50 lots must be
made within 60 working days of the date it was deemed adequate. Pursuant to BMC
38.240.130.A.5.a(4), the City Commission must approve, conditionally approve or deny
the subdivision application by December 29, 2020, unless there is a written extension
from the developer, not to exceed one year.
120
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 20 of 29
Public notice for this application was given as described in Appendix C.
On November 12, 2020, this major subdivision staff report was completed and forwarded
with a recommendation of conditional approval for consideration by the Planning Board.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Based on review of the DRC and the Department of Community Development all
applicable regulations appear to be met if all code requirements are satisfied. Pertinent
code provisions and site specific requirements are included in this report for consideration
in Sections 2 and 3.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and
installation of any necessary utilities
All easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately depicted and addressed on the
final plat and in the final plat application. Therefore, all utilities and necessary utility
easements will be provided and depicted accordingly on the final plat. All city utilities will
be located within dedicated street right of ways. Conditions 3 and code requirement 21
require performance of these obligations.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the
subdivision and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any
instrument transferring the parcel
All of the proposed lots have frontage to proposed public streets required to be
constructed to City standards per BMC 38.400 and associated design standards. In
addition, pursuant to BMC 38.400.090.A, plats must contain a statement requiring lot
accesses to be built to the standard contained in this section, the city design standards
and specifications policy, and the City modifications to state public works standard
specifications.
Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608
1) The effect on agriculture
This subdivision will not impact agriculture. The subject property is designated as
residential according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan. The area is zoned for
residential and has been annexed but is vacant. The buildable portion of the proposed
subdivision is entirely residential. No viable farm units exist on the property. The
subdivision will not have adverse effects on agriculture.
2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities
This subdivision will not impact agricultural water user facilities. There are no active
agricultural water use facilities located within the development. The area is zoned for
residential and has been under development for many years.
121
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 21 of 29
3) The effect on Local services
Water/Sewer – Municipal water and sewer mains exist in the adjacent street rights of
way of Babcock Street to serve the development. The subdivider proposes to extend
water and sewer mains throughout the development and to the individual lots within the
subdivision. These internal water and sewer mains will be installed or guaranteed prior
to final plat approval. The current Norton Ranch lift station can meet capacity
requirements for the subdivision.
The applicant must provide transfer of ownership of the irrigation facility to the property
owners’ association (POA) so that the POA can legally have the water resources
necessary to maintain the open space. Irrigation facilities to support the proposed parks
must be transferred to the City.
Condition of approval number 27 and code provisions 19, 20, 21, 24 outline the required
completion of easements and physical installation of water and sewer mains.
Cash in lieu of water rights is required to provide long term water to the project. Code
provision 26 applies to this issue.
Streets – The Growth Policy and subdivision standards require adequate connectivity of
the street grid to ensure sufficient infrastructure to serve the needs of the public and
alleviate congestion. The preliminary plat layout utilizes West Babcock Street, a
collector, and Vaughn Drive, a local street, to provide east west connectivity and Laurel
Parkway, a collector, provides north to south connectivity. Other internal local streets
provide access to all lots. The project is well connected and meets block length
requirements with the proposed streets and pedestrian midblock crossings.
The construction of Laurel Parkway is proposed by the developer in two phases not in
compliance with code requirements. With Phase 5a, it is proposed to be constructed
from West Babcock to Boomtown Road and then the remainder of it to Vaughn Drive
with Phase 5B, which is the third phase. Laurel Parkway is identified as a collector the
City’s Transportation Master Plan. To ensure that movement is convenient and reliable
through the development and grant effective access for emergency services, Laurel
Parkway must be constructed from Durston Road to West Babcock with the first phase,
or in this case, Phase 5a. The Lakes at Valley West has constructed their portion of
Laurel Parkway from Durston Road south to Vaughn Drive. The right of way for Laurel
Parkway was granted in 2007 with the annexation of the Norton East Ranch. Condition
of approval number 29 and code provision number 4 apply to this issue. Please see the
attached Engineering memo for further findings.
The development’s traffic impact study has identified the intersection of Laurel and
Durston will fall below the City’s level of service requirements in the future. However,
based on the subdivision’s build out year, the Engineering Department has determined
122
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 22 of 29
the intersection will have an acceptable level of service by the completion of the entire
subdivision as ensured by condition of approval number 8.
Street lighting is a component of the required street improvements. A special
improvement lighting district (SILD) is proposed to maintain these facilities. Condition
number 8 ensures that the SILD will be formed and effective before final plat. The
requirement for a single SILD will simplify long term maintenance of the street lights and
provide a cost that is more equitably shared.
Maintenance and use of public streets is subject to the terms of the Bozeman Municipal
Code. The certificate of dedication for the final plat must specify responsibilities for
maintenance of all streets, parks and open spaces. Code provisions apply to this issue.
Police/Fire – The area of the subdivision is within the service area of both these
departments. No concerns on service availability have been identified. The necessary
addresses will be provided to enable 911 response to individual homes prior to
recording of the final plat.
Stormwater - The subdivision will construct storm water control facilities to conform to
municipal code. Inspection of installed facilities prior to final plat will verify that
standards have been met. Maintenance of the storm water facilities is an obligation of
the property owners’ association. This responsibility is addressed in the covenants
proposed with the subdivision. Conditions number 8, 22, and 25 ensures this will be
satisfied according to standards with the final plat.
There is a proposed stormwater discharge from the detention pond located in Park 5A
that then drains off site into Aajaker Creek to the west. An easement from the property
owner to the west must be acquired in order for the stormwater to travel off site of the
Norton property into Aajaker which is addressed in condition number 21 and code
provision number 24.
Parklands - The proposal meets the required park dedication and improvement
standards. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board recommends approval of the park
master plan. A final park plan will be completed and approved with the initial final plat.
The parkland proposal for Norton Ranch Phase 5 consists of parkland totaling 8.76
acres within 5 City park lots. A large amount of this land is within watercourse setback
areas and the parkland contribution is reduced accordingly; however the inclusion of the
watercourses and setback areas within the larger park parcels was allowed with the
approval of the Park Master Plan for Norton Ranch Subdivision approved on September
27, 2010 and previous phases. There is a linear park corridor along the west edge of
the subdivision that coincides with Aajker Creek. This linear park was proposed to be
built in two phases, the southern portion with 5A and the northern portion with 5B. The
applicant has agreed to construct the linear park and the trails with Phase 5A as
described in condition number 34.
123
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 23 of 29
At the northwest corner of Phase 5, there is a 1.769 acres park proposed including a
.785 acre retention pond. The large park lot is 5.636 acres with 1.678 acres of wetlands.
Within this park, there will be a playground area, a parking lot, a Class II gravel
pathway, and wayfinding signage. Condition of approval 13 and 14 and code provisions
7 and 15 address park easements and dedication within the development.
4) The effect on the Natural environment
Wetlands exist on the property on the eastern portion and on the northern property
boundary. The watercourse setback for this wetland is located mainly on the proposed
park but does impact some of the lots on the eastern and northern portion of the
development, part of Phases 5C and 5D. The City required an updated wetland
delineation as it had been over 5 years since the most current one was conducted that
was used for previous Norton Ranch phases. The 2018 delineation results indicated
that the wetlands had expanded since 2006 due to a several sources of water that have
since been abandoned or diverted to Aajker Creek, which flows to the west of the
development. Due to this expansion, a new jurisdictional status determination is
required from the U.S. Army Corps. The proposed layout does not impact the
preservation wetland but it will impact the wetland fringe identified in 2018. See
Appendix E, Wetland Exhibit for wetland boundary changes. Review of this
determination is underway and if it is determined that the wetlands are classified as
jurisdictional, they fall under the purview of the U.S. Army Corps which will require
additional permitting such as a 404 permit and possible mitigation. Some of the wetland
boundary encroaches into lots in Phases 5c and 5d which could result in the wetlands
needing to be filled in order for the lots to be developed if they are classified as
jurisdictional. Condition of approval number 16 and code provision 3 ensures that
wetland jurisdiction determination must be completed prior to final plat approval.
The City requires use of wells or surface water rights to irrigate parks rather than
municipal water supply. There is a lesser energy and infrastructure cost to this
approach. However, in order for the City to rely on these sources to meet the code
requirement there must be the rights to the water. Code provision 11 requires that
necessary ownership and rights be transferred to the POA or City as appropriate.
The site is in an area of high groundwater, which may negatively impact future homes or
cause illicit discharges into the sanitary sewer and over burden the surface drainage
system. Condition of approval number 21 prohibits use of basements. This requirement
will protect both individual home owners from future hazards of flooding and lessen
burden on the public from illicit discharges.
5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat
The subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife and wildlife habitat. The site has
been substantially impacted by grazing which has reduced wildlife habitat. There are no
124
18278 City Commission Staff Report – Norton Ranch Phase 5 Subdivision Page 24 of 29
known endangered or threatened species on the property. Comment from state
Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks found no immediate negative effects related to wildlife
impact from this proposed development.
6) The effect on Public health and safety
The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect
the public health, safety and general welfare. The subdivision has been reviewed by
the DRC which has determined that it is in general compliance with the title. Conditions
deemed necessary to ensure compliance are noted throughout this staff report. All
subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont Code
Annotated. The Department of Community Development has reviewed this application
against the listed criteria and provides the following summary for submittal materials
and requirements.
Preliminary Plat Supplements
A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC on October 31,
2017. With the pre-application plan review application, waivers were requested from
the materials required in Section 38.220.060 “Additional Subdivision Preliminary Plat
Supplements.” Some items were not waived and all required material has been
addressed.

Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The subject property is zoned R-2 (Residential
Moderate Density), R-3 (Residential Medium Density District), and R-4 (Residential
High Density District. The buildable portion of the subdivision subject to immediate
development is located in the R-2 and R-3 districts.
The intent of the R-2 residential moderate density district is to provide for one- and two-
household residential development at urban densities within the city in areas that
present few or no development constraints. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Providing for minimum lot sizes in developed areas consistent with the
established development patterns while providing greater flexibility for clustering
lots and housing types in newly developed areas.
2. Providing for community facilities to serve such development while respecting the
residential quality and nature of the area.
Use of this zone is appropriate for areas with moderate access to parks, community
services and/or transit.
The intent of the R-3 residential medium density district is to provide for the
development of one- to five-household residential structures near service facilities within
the city. This purpose is accomplished by:
1. Providing for minimum lot sizes in developed areas consistent with the
established development patterns while providing greater flexibility for clustering
lots and mixing housing types in newly developed areas.
2. Providing for a variety of housing types, including single household dwellings,
two to four household dwellings, and townhouses to serve the varied needs of
households of different size, age and character, while reducing the adverse effect
of non-residential uses.

Use of this zone is appropriate for areas with good access to parks, community services
and/or transit.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman
Community Plan designates the subject property to develop as “Residential.” The
“Residential” classification 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.
The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32
dwellings per net acre. A higher density may be considered in some locations and
circumstances. A variety of housing types can be blended to achieve the desired
density. Large areas of single type housing are discouraged. In limited instances the
strong presence of constraints and natural features, such as floodplains, may cause an
area to be designated for development at a lower density than normally expected within
this category. 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.

RE: Norton East Ranch Phase 5 Preliminary Plat App No.18278 – Code Requirement
No. 4 Extension of Laurel Parkway
DATE: November 19, 2020
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following memo expands upon Code Requirement No. 4 regarding the completion of Laurel Parkway
with Phase 5A of the Norton East Ranch Development. The code section and requirement are referenced
below:
Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) Section 38.400.010.A.: All streets must comply with the adopted
growth policy and/or transportation plan. The arrangement, type, extent, width, grade and location
of all streets must be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical
conditions, to public convenience and safety, and to the proposed uses of the land to be served by
such streets. The design standards contained in these regulations apply to all construction,
reconstruction and paving of streets. Review authority for exceptions or modifications to this
section is specified in division 38.200.010.
2. Relation to developed areas. The developer must arrange the streets and alleys to
provide for the continuation of streets and alleys between adjacent developed
properties when such continuation is necessary for the convenient movement of traffic,
effective provision of emergency services and efficient provision of utilities.
Code Requirement No. 4: Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) Section 38.400.010.A.2.: Laurel Parkway is
a collector street as identified in the City’s transportation master plan. Laurel Parkway must be fully
completed to ensure the convenient and reliable movement of traffic and effective access for
emergency services. Laurel Parkway must be constructed from Durston to West Babcock prior to final
plat approval of Phase 5A of the subdivision.
There are several reasons for staff interpretation of this code requirement to complete Laurel Parkway
with Phase 5A/Phase 1 of the proposed subdivision, which are summarized as follows.
131
Connectivity to Street Network
Transportation connectivity is significantly limited in the vicinity of the Norton Ranch Development.
Currently, only one major collector street (West Babcock) serves all of the existing first four phases (1-4)
of the Norton Ranch Development (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Existing Street Network in the Vicinity of the Norton Ranch Development
132
Collector and arterial streets serve as the backbone of the City’s transportation network and provide
mobility for vehicular, pedestrian, and multi-modal transportation. Collector and arterial streets are
designed to allow higher traffic volumes, while local streets provide direct access to a final destination.
The local street classification typically correlates with low traffic volume and speed conditions. Other than
West Babcock Street, all streets serving existing phases of the Norton Ranch Development are classified
as local streets.
As proposed by the applicant, the existing Norton Ranch Phases 1 through 4 as well as the proposed Phase
5A would be routed to a singular collector street (West Babcock Street). The applicant is proposing to
construct Laurel Parkway in two separate phases as outlined in Figure 2. The YELLOW section would be
constructed with Phase 5A, which is approximately 510 ft. The subsequent phase (5B) would complete
the remaining BLUE segment, which is an additional 825 ft. The total length of the entire segment is
approximately 1,335 ft or ¼ of a mile.
Figure 2. Applicant Proposed Construction Phasing of Laurel Parkway
133
Currently, there is no connectivity to the City’s arterial or collector street transportation system in three
(3) out of the (4) cardinal directions (west, south, and north). Table 1 indicates the number of dwelling
units in the Norton Ranch Development and associated traffic demands.
Table 1. Norton Ranch Development Dwelling Units and Traffic Demands
The proposed Norton Ranch Phase 5 subdivision will add approximately 138 units, 299 people, and 1,314
vehicles trips per day of which 54 units, 117 people, and 514 vehicles trips per day are included in Phase
5A or Phase 1 of the development.
Without the connection of Laurel Parkway the west leg of the intersection of Cottonwood and Babcock is
projected to experience delays of 33 -39 seconds/vehicle. The only other means of ingress/egress to the
existing phases as well as the proposed Phase 5A of the Norton Ranch Development is via Fallon Street
(classified as a local road) connection to Cottonwood Road (Arterial). Without direct connections to the
arterial and collector street network, drivers will use local streets as a “cut through” in order to reach their
destination. This often results in frustration of the residents on those local streets.
Figure 3 shows the larger transportation network, the various travel options that become available by
completing Laurel Parkway, and highlights several of the major travel destinations residents frequent in
the region. By completing the segment of Laurel Parkway between Babcock Street and Vaughn Drive per
the City’s Transportation Master Plan, two additional directions of travel from the Norton Ranch
Development (north and west) become available. Currently, Babcock Street terminates at the edge of the

Norton Ranch Development; therefore, westbound travel is severely limited. Opening the west direction
via Laurel Parkway to Durston Road will significantly reduce backtracking associated with routing traffic
to Cottonwood Road and then to Durston Road or Huffine Lane to travel west. A significant north/south
option of travel will also be opened for the entire Norton Ranch Development as well as development to
the north of Norton Ranch. This will allow traffic from Norton Ranch to directly access Durston Road and
Oak Street and subsequently improve options to and from the east. Additionally, this route option will
reduce backtracking associated with the Lakes at Valley West Subdivision.
Figure 3: Regional Development and Access
135
Accommodation of Multi-Modal Traffic
With the new high school, Sports Park, Meadowlark Elementary School, Petra Academy, and Heritage
Christian School, and upcoming commercial development associated with the Northwest Crossing the
demands will significantly increase for multi-modal transportation in this area. Without the Laurel
Parkway connection to the north, bikes and pedestrians must backtrack to the south from Phase 5A before
moving in the direction of their intended destination. Even small increases in travel distance discourage
bike and pedestrian modes of travel. Additionally, by completing the remaining segment (totaling 1,335-
feet) of Laurel Parkway, the Lakes at Valley West Subdivision will have an alternate and reduced route to
the Ferguson Farm commercial area, which includes the proposed Town and Country grocery store. It is
these critical community connectivity considerations that establish our requirements for constructing our
arterial and collector streets in the initial phases of development; each development adds to and
enhances our community and its transportation network. Figure 3 summarizes the proximity of multi-
model demands and needs of the transportation network. As such completion of the Laurel Parkway aligns
with Sections 4.2 and 4.5 of the Strategic Plan and Objectives T-2.1, T-2.3, and T-4.2 of the 2009
Community Growth Policy which have been considered during the review. Additionally with the adoption
of the 2020 Community Growth Policy completion will align with Goals DCD-3, EPO-3 and M-1.
Provision for Emergency Services
Emergency services access, response times, and alternate routes will significantly improve with the Laurel
Parkway connection, which is consistent with Goal 4 of the TMP. For example, under the current
condition, if West Babcock Street must be closed for utility excavation, construction work, street
maintenance, or a vehicle crash, emergency services access to the Norton Ranch Development is limited
to Fallon Street (a local street) without the Laurel Parkway connection.
Aligning with City Goals and Directives
The following provides a brief summary of the various City planning and policy related documents that
recognize the need for required improvements that are deemed necessary to provide adequate and
sufficient access for vehicular, pedestrian, and multi-modal transportation, in order to mitigate the
impacts of development and maintain a safe effective transportation network.
2009 Community Growth Policy
Chapter 11.3 Transportation Goals and Objective: Transportation System-Maintain and enhance the
functionality of the transportation system:
Objective T-1.3: All development activity shall comply with the right-of-way standards, road
locations, and other policies set forth in the transportation facility plan to ensure that an orderly,
efficient, effective transportation system is continued and to avoid future problems with
inadequate transportation services and options.
Objective T-1.4: Ensure that adequate interconnections are made throughout the transportation
system to ensure a variety of alternatives for trip routing and reduce total travel distance.
136
2020 Community Growth Policy
Theme 3: A city bolstered by downtown and complementary districts
Goal DCD-3: Ensure multimodal connectivity within the City.
o DCD-3.2 Identify missing links in the multimodal system, prioritize those most beneficial
to complete, and pursue funding for completion of those links.
o DCD-3.3 Identify major existing and future destinations for biking and walking to aid in
prioritization of route planning and completion.
o DCD-3.4 Support implementation of the Bozeman Transportation Master Plan strategies
Theme 4: A city influenced by our natural environment, parks, and open lands
Goal EPO-3: Address climate change in the City’s plans and operations.
o EPO-3.2 Ensure complete streets and identify long-term resources for the maintenance
of year round bike and multi-use paths to improve utilization and reduce annual per
capita vehicle miles traveled.
Theme 5: A city that prioritizes accessibility and mobility choices
Goal M-1: Ensure multimodal accessibility.
o M-1.4 Develop safe, connected, and complementary transportation networks for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal mobility devices ( e-bikes, electric
scooters, powered wheelchairs, etc.).
o M-1.9 Prioritize and construct key bicycle infrastructure, to include wayfinding signage,
connections, and enhancements with emphasis on completing network connectivity.
Implementation: Short-term Action List
6. Identify missing links in the multimodal system, prioritize those most beneficial to complete,
and pursue funding for completion of those links as noted in objectives M-1.4, M-1.9, and M-1.11.
City 2017 Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
Goal 2: Improve the efficiency, performance and connectivity of a balanced transportation
system.
o A transportation system that performs well allows users to choose multiple
transportation modes and to move through those modes in a safe and efficient manner.
An efficient system allows people to move from place to place in as direct a route as
possible, allowing them to reduce the amount of time spent in travel, the distance that
must be traveled, and the amount of time spent in congested traffic. Connectivity allows
citizens to make route decisions and mode choices based on traffic and road conditions,
or desired destinations.
Goal 4: Provide a safe and secure transportation system.
o Most community planning efforts recognize the desire for a safe transportation system.
Community safety and security can be improved by transportation efforts in a number of
ways. Reducing crashes, improving the ability of emergency responders to quickly and reliably
respond to emergencies, and providing evacuation routes in the event of a natural disaster
137
will all assist to improving safety and security. Educational programs that help travelers
understand the particular safety concerns associated with various travel modes can also help
all users travel with increased confidence and security.
Goal 7: promote a financially sustainable transportation plan that is actively used to guide the
transportation decision-making process.
o Transportation facilities that provide options to the public, reduce the time spent
traveling, reduce fuel consumption, and make the best use of limited public funds for
infrastructure improvements are desirable. Not only are costs related to the cost of
building facilities, but there are also associated costs of time spent in vehicles.
Complete Streets Policy
Commission Resolution Number 4244 regarding complete streets policy directs staff to “enable
safe and convenient access to our transportation system for all users, of all ages and abilities,
including pedestrians, bicyclists, people with disabilities, transit riders, and motor vehicle drivers.”
City of Bozeman Strategic Plan
4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning, ranging from
building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban approaches to issues such as
multimodal transportation, infill, density, connected trails and parks, and walkable
neighborhoods.
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.
