Chris - As discussed, with the broad zoning changes being proposed with the Development Code Updates, we have the unique perspective to see more granular circumstances that would warrant alternate zoning to align with the existing Community Plan and Future Land Use Map as well as new code language. Attached is a request to modify the proposed Zoning Map. Please let me know if you need any further information. Regards, RJP Robert J. Pertzborn AIA Senior Principal | Architect Intrinsik Architecture, Inc. 106 East Babcock Street Suite 1A Bozeman, Montana 59715 O. 406.582.8988 Direct: 406.426.9557 M. 406.580.0422 15 September 2023 Chris Saunders Community Development / Planning Division Via Email: CSaunders@bozeman.net RE: Proposed Zoning Map SUBJECT: Request for Amendment: 1109 & 1143 Thomas Drive Chris - Please accept this memo as a request to amend the proposed Zoning Map. We represent the property owners and are requesting to designate the property (one parcel) from currently proposed R-B (Residential Medium) to R-C (Residential High). The property totals approximately 8.24 AC. The properties included in this request are designated as Urban Neighborhood in the Future Land Use Plan, which includes R-C (R-5) as an implementing zone category. Below are images showing the Future Land Use Map, current/proposed zoning and requested zoning. Attached is also Exhibit A with additional supporting information outlining alignment with the community plan should it be needed at this time. If any additional information is needed, please let us know. In conclusion, we would like formally to request to amend the proposed Zoning Map from R-B (R-4) to R-C (R- 5) to further several of the goals and policies outlined in the Community Plan. The R-C zoning district is best suited given the location and access to higher classification roads and the unique growing commercial/residential area in north Bozeman.

Collector School District Property Minor Arterial Existing / Proposed Zoning Requested Zoning B-2 REMU R-C Land Not Yet Annexed R-A PLI B-2 REMU Land Not Yet Annexed R-A PLI R-B R-A Minor Arterial Collector EXHIBIT A - Supplemental Information Subject Property: The subject property is located at 1109 & 1143 Thomas Drive. The subject property is 2 parcels and is legal described as (See Map Above): Parcel 1 - S35, T01 S, R05 E, C.O.S. 500, PARCEL TRACT B Parcel 2 - S35, T01 S, R05 E, C.O.S. 500, PARCEL TRACT A Alignment with Community Plan Goals and Objectives: The Community Plan Future Land Use Map designates this area as Urban Neighborhood, which authorizes R-C (R-5) as an implementing zoning district. This application shows how the proposed ZMA aligns with the effective Community Plan. The area to be rezoned includes extensive frontage along a Collector Thomas Drive. The land use pattern that can be created on a such ideally served parcel would be able to support a wide range of uses. Furthermore, R-C in this location would be able to provide high density housing that could support the B-2 (Proposed) property adjacent to the site. The Community Plan includes several goals and objectives that are broadly served through this application, including: - N-1.1 Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing. The request to change to R-C (R-5) will allow for the creation of more housing units than is currently allowed in the R-B (R-4) zoning district, given the site constraints R-B (R-4) zoning district. - N-1.3 Revise the zoning map to lessen areas exclusively zoned for single-type housing. The R-5 zoning district will allow for the creation of more housing units at a variety of scales to support the adjacent B-2 zoning district to the east. - Goal N-2: Pursue simultaneous emergence of commercial nodes and residential development through diverse mechanisms in appropriate locations. In close proximity of the project site is a large chunk of B-2 and REMU zoned land, as well as the existing commercial node which is the Gallatin Center Subdivision. The change from R-5 will allow for residential development to happen at a good scale that will help bolster this commercial area and will allow people to live and work in close proximity. - Goal N-3: Promote a diverse supply of quality housing units. - N-3.1 Establish standards for provisions of diversity of housing types in a given area. - N-3.7 Support compact neighborhoods, small lot sizes, and small floor plans, especially through mechanisms such as density bonuses. - N-3.8 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. The proposed R-C (R-5) zoning is in alignment with the goals of development for the “missing middle” housing by allowing higher densities and a more diverse array of housing types than the current R-B (R-4) zoning. Multi-household dwellings, such as apartments, two- and three-household dwellings and townhouses/rowhouses, are permitted uses within the proposed zoning districts. - Goal DCD-1: Support urban development within the City. In close proximity of the project site is a large chunk of B-2 and REMU zoned land, as well as the existing commercial node which is the Gallatin Center Subdivision. The change from R-5 will allow for residential development to happen at a good scale that will help bolster this commercial area and will allow people to live and work in close proximity. - Goal DCD-2: Encourage growth throughout the City, while enhancing the pattern of community development oriented on centers of employment and activity. Support an increase in development intensity within developed areas. The proposed R-5 zoning would allow for higher density residential development in proximity to jobs and services, thus encouraging growth and enhancing the patter of community development oriented on employment and activity areas.
