Tyler Tyler Steinway, AICP | Planner II Intrinsik Architecture, Inc. 106 East Babcock Street Suite 1A Bozeman, Montana 59715 O. 406.582.8988 Direct: 406.426.9568 M. 406.220.8210 14 September 2023 Chris Saunders Community Development / Planning Division 20 East Olive Street Bozeman, MT 59718 RE: Proposed Zoning Map SUBJECT: Request for Amendment: SE Corner of Bridger Canyon Road & Story Mill Road 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 1.552 AC. The properties included in this request are designated as Residential Mixed Use (REMU) 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 B 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 northeast Bozeman.

The subject property is 1 parcel and is legal described as (See Map Above): Parcel 1 - S32, T01 S, R06 E, C.O.S. 1895, PARCEL 1, ACRES 1.604, LESS HWRW PARKS/STORY MILLS ANNEX TO BZN (COS 2547 RETRACEMENT OF COS 1895) Alignment with Community Plan Goals and Objectives: The Community Plan Future Land Use Map designates this area as Residential Mixed Use (REMU), 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 (Story Mill Road) and a Principal Arterial Street (Bridger Canyon Road). The land use pattern that can be created on a such ideally served parcel would be able to support a wide range of uses. 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-2M zoning district to the north and west. - Goal N-2: Pursue simultaneous emergence of commercial nodes and residential development through diverse mechanisms in appropriate locations. In close proximity to the site Canyon Gate, which situates this project site in a prime position to support this node and ultimately allow for it emergence/prosperity. The change from R-5 will allow for residential development to happen at a good scale that will help bolster this commercial area. - 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. The subject sites are located within the city and are in close proximity to a commercial node (Canyon Gate) making them the perfect place for urban development. - 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.
