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. BACKGROUND: This is a 55-unit residential development taking place on the 4.58 acre Block 14 of the Blackwood Groves Phase 2 Subdivision. The units are predominantly single-household detached homes, some with and some without attached garages. The Applicant characterizes the single-household detached dwelling units as “cottages”. There are 38 variations of floor plans and building elevations for these 55 cottages. The variations relate to unit size, number of bedrooms and attached garages. The 5 “main” house types are shown below; they offer detached houses ranging in size from 828 sf 1- bedroom units to 1,240 sf 3-bedroom units. This development also provides four clusters of duplex dwelling units over garages. This model offers twin 650 sf 1-bedroom dwelling units per duplex building. Each of the four duplex/garage clusters offer 4 dwelling units over garages for a total of 16 smaller dwelling units. All units are rental units. 9 Associated on-site parking would be provided along with landscaping and residential common open space. Parkland for this development is provided by the Subdivision developer via park lots dispersed throughout the subdivision. The Blackwood Groves Subdivision Park No. 11 abuts Block 14 along its eastern boundary. The southernmost portion of the Site would be developed at a later date, with a separate site plan, for another residential development by the same Applicant/Subdivider/Developer. It would likely be apartment buildings that look like bigger houses. This two-part multi-household development would be consistent with the approved Master Site Plan for Block 14. See the last page of the staff report for the link to the Application documents. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:None proposed FISCAL EFFECTS:Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time but will include increased property tax revenues from new development of the property and increased costs to provide municipal services to the new development.

Each of the four duplex/garage clusters offer 4 dwelling units over garages for a total of 16 smaller dwelling units. All units are rental units. Associated on-site parking would be provided along with landscaping and residential common open space. Parkland for this development is provided by the Subdivision developer via park lots dispersed throughout the subdivision. The Blackwood Groves Subdivision Park No. 11 abuts Block 14 along its eastern boundary. The southernmost portion of the Site would be developed at a later date, with a separate site plan, for another residential development by the same Applicant/Subdivider/Developer. It would likely be apartment buildings that look like bigger houses. This two-part multi-household development would be consistent with the approved Master Site Plan for Block 14 as shown in Figures 3 and 5. The Blackwood Groves subdivision is an approved Preliminary Plat and a final plat for Block 14 is included in a Phase 2 subdivision final plat application which is scheduled for a March 7, 2023 Commission consideration for approval. The entire subdivision is zoned REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed Use) and, at full build-out of its 9 development phases, would provide 149 single- and rowhouse lots, 14 multi- household lots, 3 commercial lots, 8 common open space lots, and 16 City Park lots on a total of 119.45 acres comprising the Blackwood Groves mixed use neighborhood. The Applicant for this site plan is the subdivision developer who would also build this residential development. The Applicant is not seeking a variance or deviation for development standards. Conditional-approval of the Cottages site plan would be contingent upon approval and recordation of the subdivision final plat per Condition No.1.

Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review. Plan Review, Section 38.230.100, BMC In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the Director of Community Development shall consider the following: 1. Conformance with Article 1 - Consistency with the City’s adopted Growth Policy 38.100.040.D Meets Code? Growth Policy Land Use Residential Mixed Use Yes Zoning REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed Use Yes Comments: The Blackwood Groves subdivision proposes a mixture of residential and non-residential uses, which is consistent with its Community Plan Future Land Use designation of “Residential Mixed Use”. Block 14 would be wholly residential which is consistent with the subdivision designation as well as the approved Master Site Plan for this REMU zoned neighborhood. The approved Master Site Plan (MSP) envisioned the entirety of Lot 1, Block 14 to be comprised of multi- household dwellings, typically provided as apartment buildings. The blocks to the north of Block 14 are designated for cottage development and they have an approved Site Plan and are under construction. Because the cottage development on the single Lot 1 of Block 14 is a group of single-household detached and duplex dwellings offered for rent by a single owner, the development is deemed a multi-household development that is consistent with the Blackwood Groves MSP. It is consistent with the REMU zoning intent. The Applicant, as owner, subdivider and developer of this neighborhood, seeks to provide a rental housing “product” that would aesthetically enhance the Site and neighborhood and would provide a housing type that, he believes, is sought after by the rental housing “market”, more so than a group of apartment buildings. Relevant objectives and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Climate Plan are noted below. Bozeman Community Plan 2020 Goal N-1: Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods. N-1.1. Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing. [N-3.8 defines what is meant by “missing middle housing”: Promote the development of “Missing Middle” housing (side by side or stacked duplex, triplex, live-work, cottage housing, group living, rowhouses/townhouses, etc.) as one of the most critical components of affordable housing.” Smaller size, single-household, detached rental dwelling units may be a type of “missing-middle” income housing and, certainly would provide a diversity of housing type for the City.] EPO 2.1 Where appropriate, activate connections to waterways by creating locations, adjacent trails and amenities encouraging people to access them. Comment: The Master Site Plan provides pedestrian connections to the watercourse located at the eastern end of the subdivision. Block 14 has pedestrian pathways that connect to the MSP pedestrian network.. Goal M-1: Ensure multimodal accessibility. M-1.1 Prioritize mixed-use land use patterns. Encourage and enable the development of housing, jobs, and services in close proximity to one another. 28 Community Development Board Staff Report The Cottages at Blackwood Groves Block 14 Site Plan Application No. 22324 February 28, 2023 Page 19 of 28 Comment: This site plan is not a mixed use development as it is wholly-residential. However, the Site lies within the Master Site Plan that is expected to offer neighborhood-serving services and goods within walking distance of Block 14. Therefore, indirectly, this Goal and Objective may be positively addressed by this project. 2. Conformance with Article 1 - All other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations (38.100.080) Meets Code? Condominium ownership NA Comments: These dwelling units would be rental. 3. Conformance with Article 2, including the cessation of any current violations (38.200.160) Meets Code? Current Violations Yes Comments: The subject property is undeveloped with no known violations. 4. Conformance with Article 2 - Submittal material (38.220) requirements and plan review for applicable permit types (38.230) Meets Code? Site Plan Yes, with conditions noted above on page 2. Submittal requirements 38.220.100 Yes, with conditions noted on page 2. Phasing of development 38.230.020.B No. of phases: 1 for this site plan Comments: The entire subdivision/Master Site Plan would have 9 phases. Block 14 is identified as lying within Phase 2 of this Master Site Plan. The cottages development would be built in a single phase by the Applicant. The southern portion of Lot 1 would be developed pursuant to a separate site plan. This southern portion is expected to be developed as apartment dwelling units in buildings that appear to be larger homes than the cottages. Any additional use permit (Conditional Use Permit) 38.230.120 or (Special use Permit) 38.230.120 NA Comments: No other use permit is required per the approved MSP. 5. Conformance with Article 3 - Zoning Provisions (38.300) Meets Code? Permitted uses 38.310 Single-household detached dwelling units on a single lot Yes Form and intensity standards 38.320 Zoning: REMU Setbacks (feet) Structures Parking / Loading Yes Front Min.10’/Max. 15’ NA Rear 10’ NA Side 5’ NA Garage 20’ NA 29 Community Development Board Staff Report The Cottages at Blackwood Groves Block 14 Site Plan Application No. 22324 February 28, 2023 Page 20 of 28 Comments: As noted above, the Land Use Map of the Blackwood Groves Master Site Plan calls for Block 14 to be built as multi-household dwellings. This proposal is for 39 detached homes and 16 duplex homes, totaling 55 units, placed on a single 4.59 acre lot. Each “side” of the Block, north and south, has a cluster of 4 duplex buildings with parking underneath. There are 38 home designs for the developer to choose from, ranging in size from 691 sf to 1,240 sf. The site plan provides the minimum setbacks from property lines of the single lot. Common open space is required in the amount of 7,450 square feet (sf) and 25,314 sf is provided. Parkland is provided by the Blackwood Groves developer per the MSP, including the 20,900 sf Park 11 that abuts the Site to the east. Each dwelling unit shares common open space areas interspersed throughout the Lot. There is a 30-foot wide east-west pedestrian easement pathway approximately in the middle of the lot with a 10’ wide meandering concrete walkway. There is a 50-to 70-foot wide north-south open space “paseo” in the middle of the block separating the clusters of homes. Each side of this paseo green space has a sidewalk. These walkways break up the large size lot and create pedestrian pathways throughout the Site and connect to trails and sidewalks within the entire neighborhood. Parking for residents would be provided by garages within or beneath the units, in the unit’s driveways, in a parking lot at the southern portion of the development, and by on-street parking spaces. Ninety-four parking spaces are required for the 55 one, two and three-bedroom dwelling units and this parking is provided in 58 garage spaces, 10 driveway spaces and 21 parking lot spaces on the property for 89 on-site spaces. Seventeen additional on-street parking spaces are available for residents and/or guests and/or users of the abutting Park 11 on a “first come/first served” basis; this on-street parking is allowed for residential developments per BMC 38.540.050.A.1.a(1). The REMU zone allows 1 single household dwelling at a ratio of 1 for each 4,000 gross square feet (gsf) of land area of the Site. It allows duplex units at a ratio of 1 unit for each 2,500 gsf of land area. The 55 dwelling units on the 4.59 acre lot, combined, represents 3,635 gross square feet per dwelling. At the REMU density formula, the 16 duplex units would require 40,000 gsf of land and the 39 single-household units would require 156,000 gsf of land for a total required land area of 196,000 gsf or 4.49 acres of land area. Therefore, the proposed 55 dwellings “fit” within the intensity or density limits of the REMU zone. Lot coverage Provided: 61% Allowed: 75% Yes Building height Provided: 26’ Allowed: 5 stories Yes Comments: The development meets BMC building form and intensity standards. Applicable zone specific or overlay standards 38.330.020 Yes Comments: 38.330.020, REMU special standards, describe street and circulation standards, site planning and design element standards, open space standards, building standards and landscaping standards for development within this REMU neighborhood. For this multi-household development of single-household detached and duplex homes, new streets must be “complete streets” that accommodate pedestrians, bikes, buses, automobiles and snow storage and be connected to adjacent development. Buildings must be oriented with front facades facing the street per Block Frontage standards. Shared drive access must be used to reduce the need for additional curb cuts. On-street parking should be maximized. This development meets these standards. The development shares driveway access points with neighboring homes and provides the required landscaped separation between the two driveways. There are no internal streets but there is a north- south oriented landscaped open space (“paseo”) and an east-west oriented landscaped pedestrian pathway. The houses are oriented towards the street or to the open space areas with direct access to a pedestrian network connecting all areas of the Site. 30 Community Development Board Staff Report The Cottages at Blackwood Groves Block 14 Site Plan Application No. 22324 February 28, 2023 Page 21 of 28 Sight visibility triangles for the homes with garages minimize on-street parking along the street frontages. The street along the linear Park 11, Winterthur Avenue, could accommodate on-street parking to be shared by residents and/or their guests or park users. Likely, daytime park users would vacate these 17 on-street parking spaces about the time residents return home from work and seek parking. REMU refers to the design standards of 38.360.220 for single household dwellings. That section of the code seeks to enhance the character of the street, maintain “eyes on the street” for safety to pedestrians and create a more welcoming and interesting streetscape, to de-emphasize garages and drive aisles as major visual elements along the street and to provide usable setback space for residents. Home entries should have clear and obvious pedestrian access to the street sidewalk and should have a covered entry for minimum weather protection. The proposed houses have sidewalks that lead to an on-site pedestrian network that leads to street sidewalks. Each of the 5 housing types and their 38 variations have a covered porch for weather protection, for neighborly “eyes on the street/walkway” and sociability. Street-side houses have garages and driveways that are major visual elements along the street. Minimum 10’ setbacks are provided along the street. Internal houses have shared yards serving as setbacks and all ground floor dwellings are required to meet the 38.510.030.J Special Residential Block Frontage privacy and safety/security setback from a pedestrian pathway provisions. General land use standards and requirements 38.350 Meets Code? Yes Comments: Of note for this development, all garages facing the street must be at least four feet behind the front façade of the house per 38.350.070.D. It appears from the floor plan submittals that this standard is met. Code Provision No. 2 reiterates this requirement. Applicable supplemental use criteria 38.360.220, Single household dwellings and duplex dwellings, and 38.360.250, Rowhouse dwellings Yes Supplemental uses/type Single-household dwellings. Yes Comments: Each of the buildings meet setback and block frontage standards. Residential buildings fronting on a street meet block frontage standards. Wireless facilities 38.370 NA Affordable Housing 38.380.010 NA Affordable housing plan NA Comments: The homes are market-rate rentals. 6a.

The homes fronting the eastern “Park 11” lot would not have garages or driveways. Although not needed to meet parking requirements, 17 on-street parking spaces located on the east side of Park 11 along the street could be shared by residents, their guests and park users on a first come/first served basis. Street vision triangle 38.400.100 Yes Transportation pathways 38.400.110 Yes Pedestrian access easements for shared use pathways and similar transportation facilities Yes Public transportation 38.400.120 NA Comments: Block 14 has a 30’ wide east-west public access easement with an 8’ wide concrete meandering trail therein. The BMC does not require public transportation in proximity or walking distance to the Site. The closest Streamline bus stop is at MSU at Grant Avenue. It is anticipated that when the Blackwood Groves neighborhood is built-out, and there is a demand for transit service, the “Blue Line” Streamline service would be extended to main streets within the neighborhood. 6b.

However, the drive aisle for the northern trash enclosure does not have turn-around space and the garbage truck driver is not permitted to back out onto a public street. Therefore, the homes in the north side of the Site must use individual totes that must be wheeled to the curb on pick-up day for standard curbside pick-up. The southern trash enclosure is situated next to a through-way drive aisle which can accommodate the garbage truck. CIL of water rights (CILWR) Yes, with Condition 5 Comments: Cash-in-lieu of water rights in the amount of $ 56,415 would be paid prior to final site plan approval. 32 Community Development Board Staff Report The Cottages at Blackwood Groves Block 14 Site Plan Application No. 22324 February 28, 2023 Page 23 of 28 Municipal infrastructure requirements 38.410.070 Yes, with Conditions 5, 6 and 7 Comments: The Applicant has requested Concurrent Construction of Subdivision Improvements with the development of this site plan per BMC 38.270.030.
