RE: Application 22171; Gallatin Crossing Redevelopment Phase 1 Medical Facility, addressed as
2825 West Main Street, Bozeman, Montana, on Tract 1 of COS No. 467A and located in the SW ¼ of
Section 11, T2 S, R5 E of P.M.M., City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
Dear Ashley:
The Site Plan application for the medical facility to be located in the former J.C. Penny’s building of
the Mall of the above-referenced property has been conditionally approved. Please see the Staff
Report attached to the Project Dox City Documents folder for this application. The Staff Report
contains the analysis, and code provisions related to this approval. Note that Code Provision No. 2
requires the Cash-in-Lieu of Water Rights (CILWR) to be paid prior to building permit issuance.
The conditions of approval of this site plan are as follows:
1. BMC 38.400.090. Access. The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) Addendum letter from
Marvin & Associates dated February 9, 2023, defines the need to eliminate left turns onto
Huffine Lane from the western access point to the Mall and this should occur during the Phase
1 development. The Applicant must obtain approval from the Montana Department of
Transportation (MDT), install the appropriate controls, and obtain final acceptance from
MDT prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for Phase 1 of this Master Site Plan, as defined
in the aforementioned TIS Addendum letter.
2. BMC 38.400.010.A.2 . Access Easement and 38.410.040.A, Block Length.
a. The Phase 1 site plan must provide a 30-foot-wide emergency vehicle access
easement running north-south through the Mall subject property from a point at the
northeast corner of the Site from the Silver Maple Drive connection southward to the
Huffine Lane sidewalk (see Figure 15). The Applicant will provide a 24-foot-wide
emergency vehicle gated access at this northeast access point. No snow storage may
take place on this easement (see Figure 16).
b. The Phase 1 site plan must also provide a separate pedestrian access easement
running north-south through the Mall property from the existing north trail
connection in the middle of the Site extending southward to the Huffine Lane
sidewalk. The pedestrian access easement satisfies the block length code provision
of 38.410.040.A. The northeast and northwest pedestrian access easements are
required to provide multi-modal access from existing trails from the abutting
property to the north, providing safe and convenient passage for pedestrians through
the Site southward to Huffine Lane and westward to the City Park (see Figure 17).
As the Applicant, you must comply with all provisions of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), which
are applicable to this project. All unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically
listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful
requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or state law.
