Narrative 0. Executive Summary The Eastlake Professional Center commercial subdivision represents a thoughtful commercial hub adjacent to existing transit corridors, residential neighborhoods, and commercial areas. Once approved and the infrastructure is complete, the 4 -lot subdivision will be able offer a variety of future development options to ensure commercial needs of the community are met. I. Project Overview This Subdivision Preliminary Plat is for a project to subdivide 7.65 acres (333,321 SF) of undeveloped land into four (4) commercial lots. The property is designated as Community Commercial Mixed Use in the Community Plan ’s Future Land Use Map, and the property is zoned B-2M - Community Business District-Mixed. The property is located southeast of the intersection of East Valley Center Road, a principle arterial, and North 27th Avenue, a collector. This intersection is designated as a high visibility street corner, and as such has two associated block frontages: Mixed (North 27th Avenue) and Gateway (East Valley Center Road). The Eastlake Professional Center project site has been previously reviewed by the City 7 April 2021 Preliminary Plat RC#1: Eastlake Professional Center of Bozeman as a Concept Plan in 2016 and 2018 (File No. 16-462 & File No. 18-345), and as a now expired Subdivision Pre-Application in 2017 (File No. 17-081). In August 2020 a new Pre-application was submitted for City review (File No. 20 -274), and the City provided comprehensive comments in response to this submittal on October 15, 2020. In 2020 the City also reviewed and provided comments on a Concept application submitted for Lot 4 (File No. 20-380). To the west of this proposed subdivision, the Billings Clinic project team has submitted a informal review application for Phase 1 of the Clinic Campus. This Preliminary Plat application is submitted as the next step for the creation of the Eastlake Professional Center commercial subdivision. This narrative contains or directs the reviewer to the appropriate Preliminary Plat application documents. If additional clarifying, non-substantive revisions are needed to documents or plans included herein, the Applicant Team requests that these amendments be conditioned for submission with the Final Plat materials. II. Project Details The Eastlake Professional Center commercial subdivision is proposed for the parcel that lies to east of the intersection of East Valley Center Road and North 27th Avenue. The subject parcel is bounded to the north by Interstate 90, to the west by the future Billings Clinic Campus site, to the south by future commercial development and the existing school system bus barn, and to the east of the Catron Crossing Commercial Subdivision. 8 April 2021 Preliminary Plat RC#1: Eastlake Professional Center The subdivision design is intended to foster a unified node of thoughtful commercial activity that additionally enhances connectivity to current and future development in proximity to this site. This proposed four lot commercial subdivision will include improvements to several roadways and the PROST shared use path located parallel to East Valley Center Road. The intersection of East Valley Center Road and North 27th Avenue has been designated as a high visibility intersection, and the site’s adjacency to the interstate further highlights the significance of this property ’s location. Honor Lane is proposed to be constructed to the south the subject parcel, and the applicant has been in discussions with adjacent property owners regarding shared costs for the installation of this local street. The site layout is limited by the unavailability of permitted accesses to East Valley Center Road, and therefore all internal circulation through the subdivision and between abutting properties will be through access easements connected rights -of-way to shared parking areas. The Preliminary Plat (Civil Sheet 3.0) displays these necessary access easements for shared driveways and parking areas to ensure adequate access to all lots. Future development of the subdivision will also look to include the construction of parking facilities to be shared between Lots 1 - 3 (see Exhibit E - Green Plan). Both surface and parking structures are under consideration for construction on Lot 3, and future Concept and Site Plans will explore this possibility in further detail. LAND USE The subdivision is intended to be entirely commercial in nature, with offices and medical offices predominantly envisioned for this site. The subdivision development may included a structured parking facility within the subdivision, which can allow for shared parking based on future site development needs. The Master Site Plan submitted concurrent with the Preliminary Plat explores several possible site parking design and use configuration options. Please refer to the Master Site Plan Narrative for additional details. Initial land use assumptions for the Eastlake Professional Center subdivision have been Table 1: Eastlake Professional Center - Land Use Table Use Proposed Lots Proposed Land Area (square feet) Single Household - - Multi-Household - - Commercial 4 6.004 Acres (261,566 sf) Parkland - - Open Space - - ROW/Streets - 1.648 Acres (71,755 sf) TOTAL 4 7.652 Acres (333,321 sf) 9 April 2021 Preliminary Plat RC#1: Eastlake Professional Center outlined in the Table 1 (below). It is not known at this time if commercial condominiums are to be developed. Should condo units be proposed, additional Site Plan and Condominium review applications will be submitted as necessary. No Planned Unit Developments are anticipated, and no manufactured homes nor RV parks are to be developed within this neighborhood. III. Phasing Timelines This project is proposed to be constructed in five (5) phases. Phase 1 is to be the first phase constructed. While Phases 2 - 5 are numbered numerically, and subsequently to Phase 1, phases are not necessarily intended to be constructed in their numerical order. It is the applicants intention that Phases 1 - 5 may be constructed concurrently or independently of one another. Please see Appendix B for additional details on the extent of each proposed phase. The applicant may seek to financially guarantee onsite improvements in Phase 1 as is necessary. The construction staging limits for the construction of all phases may be relocated to an alternative location depending on project need. The Phasing expectations will be further developed in the subsequent Final Plat submittal. IV. Preliminary Plat Supplements 38.220.060.A.1 - Surface water.
