WHEREAS, the Planning staff assessed the application in light of the criteria set forth for
review of Master Plan Amendments; and
WHEREAS, the City-County Planning Board conducted a public hearing on an application
for at its regular meeting held on April 4, 1995, taking into careful consideration the criteria set
forth for review of Master Plan Amendment applications; and
WHEREAS, the City~County Planning Board found that this area received Zone Map and
Master Plan map amendments in 1980, at the time approximately 500 acres west of Ferguson
Avenue was rezoned. The Master Plan was updated in 1983, and a majority, but not all, of the
land use designations were continued; and
WHEREAS, the City-County Planning Board found that the 1990 Bozeman Area Master
Plan Update eliminated the Business Park (Technology Research) Master Plan designation and
designated the entire area for residential development, even though the zoning on the property
remained Business Park; and
WHEREAS, the City-County Planning Board found that there are seven zoning and two
Master Plan designations in this area. The proposed amendment would cause the Master Plan
designation to be in compliance with the BP, Business Park, R-O, Residential--Office, R-1,
Residential--Low-density, and B-1, Neighborhood Service, zoning designations. The existing B-2
zoning would still not be in compliance with the Master Plan; and the City-County Planing Board
found that development of this B-2 zoned property for commercial use should be considered on a
case-by-case basis. At that time, it would be determined whether a potential development did or
did not comply with the Master Plan; and
