Cr. Pomeroy agreed with staff's findings and will support the motion.
DM Cunningham agreed with staff's findings for the ten goals and eight policies of annexation.
Cr. Madgic agreed with staff's findings and made note of the character of the district and the mixed use
of the nearby properties. She found the annexation is compatible with the growth of Bozeman but
expressed concerns related to agriculture in the valley and the adjoining property owner.
Cr. Coburn agreed with staff's findings and expressed the need for affordable housing and not just
housing. He stated his disappointment with the limitations of using annexation to provide for affordable
housing.
Mayor Andrus agreed with staff's findings and the previous comments by the Commission. She stated
we welcome annexation and will continue to do so, but noted some missing opportunities that we do
not have control over. She will support the motion.

Terry Cunningham: 2nd
02:22:31 Discussion
Cr. Pomeroy stated the need to preserve agricultural land and high density is the best use of the land.
She stated her appreciation of recent developments that utilize mixed use for walkability and bikeability.
DM Cunningham agreed with staff's findings that R-5 is appropriate in meeting the zoning criteria and
that the application does not meet the elements of spot-zoning. He reiterated concerns of waiting for
the further development review and the necessary Affordable housing needs to be addressed through
intentional design. He noted this property as entrance view from the highway.
Cr. Madgic stated concerns with the development reaching the highest allowable density that takes
advantage of the amenities in the area. She stated high-density makes sense in this location given access

to the transportation and nearby amenities. She expressed her trepidation with having to wait for
further development review.
Cr. Coburn echoed the statements of the previous Commissioners in the need for a development to
meet the intent of R-5 zoning.
Mayor Andrus stated her sympathy with the public comment from the adjacent property owner. She
stated the need for more than just density to benefit the community. She stated her hope to see a
development proposal that benefits the community beyond density.
