EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unreso[ved Issues
None identified at this time.
Project Summary
The owner, Haggerty Property Investments, LLC, Box 850, Bozeman, MT 59718 submitted
application to rezone a property totaling 0.55 acres, including adjacent right-of-way, from B-
2 to B-2M. The property is currently vacant. No future development plans were submitted or
required with the application. Under the proposed use item in the application it states the
proposed use will be"mixed."
Haggerty Lane is a designated Minor Arterial according to the Bozeman Area Master
Transportation Plan, 2017 Update. East Main Street is a designated Principal Arterial
according to the Bozeman Area Master Transportation Plan, 2017 Update and is a designated
National Highway(non-interstate)by Montana Department of Transportation.The intersection
of Haggerty Lane and East Main Street currently operates below a level "C" in function, see
Section 1 Figure 4 LOS. Pursuant to section 38.400.060 Street Improvement Standards(B) (4)
-all arterial and collector streets and intersections within one-half mile of the site must operate
at a minimum Level of Service(LOS) C unless specifically exempted by the review authority.
The intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main Street is located on a state controlled highway, in
which the Montana Departrnent of Transportation retains the review authority and approval to
access as well as improvements. Currently,the City has the intersection of Haggerty Lane and
Main Street in the City's adopted Capital Improvement Program, but is unscheduled in terms
of future time. MDT has provided comment on this application. The existing B-2 zoning was
established prior to the intersection reaching a state where functional requirements are not met.
The primary differences between the B-2 and B-2M districts is development intensity. There
is a differences in building height, more permissive residential use, and reduction of parking
requirements.Building height in the B-2 district is between 50-60 feet,depending on roof pitch
while building height in B-2M is five (5) stories or 60 feet which results in an addition story.
Residential use is allowed on the ground floor in without a Conditional Use Permit in the B-
2M zone and may be permitted in the B-2 district with an approved CUP. The CUP option has
evolved to the SUP process.

Community Development Board(Zoning Commission)Summary
The Community Development Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission held
a public hearing on October 3, 2022 and voted (8:1) to recommend approval of the requested
zone change.
The Board discussed a variety of issues including if the recently adopted code changes would
allow the development intensity the applicant is requesting, if there is any development
potential on the property with the existing intersection deficiencies,and issues related to traffic,
intersection level of service and how improvements could be made. In conclusion the Board
rejected staffs fmdings of non-compliance, revised the suggested motion to state the Board is
recommending approval of the requested zoning change, and voted to recommend approval to
the City Commission on an 8:1 vote.

SECTION 2 -RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES OF ZONE MAP
AMENDMENT
Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the process of the
proposed amendment. Should the application not be approved these contingencies are not
required.
Recommended Contingencies of Approval:
1. That all documents and exhibits necessary to establish the amended municipal zoning
designation of B-2M shall be identified as the "Haggerty Lane Zone Map AmendmenY'.
2. The applicant must submit a zone amendment map, titled "Haggerty Lane Zone Map
Amendment", acceptable to the Director of Public Works, as a PDF which will be utilized
in the preparation of the Ordinance to officially amend the City of Bozeman Zoning Map.
Said map shall contain a metes and bounds legal description of the perimeter of the subject
property including adjacent rights-of-way, and total acreage of the property.
3. The Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant
provides an editable metes and bounds legal description prepared by a licensed Montana
surveyor.
Advisory Comments:
1. BMC 38.400.060 Street Improvement Standards (B) (4) - All arterial and collector streets
and intersections within one-half mile of the site must operate at a minimum Level of
Service(LOS) C unless specifically exempted by the review authority.
The applicant is advised that the intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main Street is located
within one-half mile of the subject property, which has been determined to operate below
a minimum LOS C (Existing LOS is F per the City of Bozeman Transportation Plan April
25,2017.
The proposed zoning change would allow the applicant to increase the amount of
development density associated with the subject property. An increase in density would
directly intensify the number of vehicular and pedestrian trips from the subject property.
Moreover, the primary intersection that will be utilized by the subject property to access
the greater transportation network will be the intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main
Street.
The applicant is advised that the City will require a formal traffic impact study(TIS)with
future development submittals. The TIS will need to satisfy the requirements outlined
within the BMC, which will require the evaluation of the Haggerty Lane & Main Street
intersection.The TIS must analyze the associated impacts of future development in relation
to the Haggerty&Main intersection well as any mitigation measures necessary to improve
the LOS at the intersection. The review authority may approve the development only if the
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 11 of 40
LOS requirements are met in the design year, which must be completed if mitigation
measures are required to maintain LOS. The intersection must have a minimum acceptable
LOS of C for the intersection as a whole.
The applicant is advised that the intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main Street is a state
highway, in which the Montana Department of Transportation retains the review authority
and approval to intersection improvements and access. Currently, the City has the
intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main Street unscheduled for improvement within the
City's current Capital Improvement Program. This means that no City funds are expected
to be invested in the intersection for at least six years.
SECTION 3 -RECOMMENDATIONAND FUTURE ACTIONS
Having considered the criteria established for a zone map amendment, the Staff does not
recommend approval as submitted. The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered
the amendment on July 13, 2022. The DRC identified infrastructure or regulatory constraints
that would impede the approval of the application.
The Community Development Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission held
a public hearing on this zone map amendment on October 3, 2022 and forwarded a
recommendation to approve the zone map amendment to the City Commission. The meeting
was held at 6 p.m. in the Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N. Rouse Ave, Bozeman,
Montana. Members of the public has an opportunity to participate in person and remotely via
WebEx. Instructions for joining the WebEx meeting was included on the meeting agenda
which is published on the City's website at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
The City Commission will hold a public meeting on the zone map amendment on October 25,
2022. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N. Rouse
Ave,Bozeman,Montana,the City Commission will conduct a public hearing on the proposed
Zone Map Amendment application. Members of the public will also be able to participate
remotely via WebEx. Instructions for joining the WebEx meeting will be included on the
meeting agenda which is published on the City's website at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
SECTION 4 -ZONE MAP AMENDMENT STAFF ANAL YSIS AND
FINDINGS
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission must consider the following criteria (letters A-K). As an amendment is a legislative
action, the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The burden of proof
that the application should be approved lies with the applicant.
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 12 of 40
A zone map amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy(criteria A)and be designed
to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B),promote public health,public safety, and
general welfare(criteria C),and facilitate the provision of transportation,water,sewerage,schools,
parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a zone map amendment
the Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E-K, and may find the zone map
amendment to be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the zone
map amendment, the Commission must find the positive outcomes of the amendment outweigh
negative outcomes for criteria E-K. In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff considers the
entire body of regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigated negative
impacts are incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38,
Unified Development Code.
Section 76-2-304,MCA (Zonin� Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Criterion met.The BCP 2020, Chapter 5,p. 73, in the section titled Review Criteria for Zoning
Amendments and Their Application, discusses how the various criteria in 76-2-304 MCA are
applied locally. Application of the criteria varies depending on whether an amendment is for
the zoning map or for the text of Chapter 38, BMC. The first criterion for a zoning amendment
is accordance with a growth policy.
Future Land Use Map
The proposed amendment is a change to the zoning map. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze
compliance with the future land use map. Chapter 3 of the BCP 2020 addresses the future land
use map. The introduction to that chapter discusses the importance of the chapter. Following
are some excerpts.
"Future land use is the community s fundamental building block. It is an
illustration of the City s desired outcome to accommodate the complex and diverse
needs of its residents."
"The land use map sets generalized expectations for what goes where in the
community. Each category has its own descriptions. Understanding the future land
use map is not possible without understanding the category descriptions."
The area of this application is within the annexed area of the City and where there is anticipated
redevelopment within the City as discussed below. As shown on the maps in Section 1,on the
excerpt of the current future land use map, the property is designated as Community
Commercial Mixed-Use. The Community Commercial Mixed-Use designation description
reads:
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 13 of 40
"The Community Commercial Mixed Use category promotes commercial areas
necessary for economic health and vibrancy. This includes professional and
personal services, retail, education,health services, offices,public administration,
and tourism establishments. Density is expected to be higher than it is currently in
most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings.
Residences on upper floors, in appropriate circumstances, are encouraged. The
urban character expected in this designation includes urban streetscapes, plazas,
outdoor seating, public art, and hardscaped open space and park amenities. High
density residential areas are expected in close proximity.
Developments in this land use area should be located on one or two quadrants of
intersections of the arterial and/or collector streets and integrated with transit and
non-automotive routes. Due to past development patterns, there are also areas
along major streets where this category is organized as a corridor rather than a
center. Although a broad range of uses may be appropriate in both types of
locations,the size and scale is to be smaller within the local service areas.Building
and site designs made to support easy reuse of the building and site over time is
important. Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated, pedestrian
friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single use. Higher
intensity uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant
streets and intersections. Building height or other methods of transition may be
required for compatibility with adjacent development.
Smaller neighborhood scale areas are intended to provide local service to an area
of approximately one half-mile to one mile radius as well as passersby. These
smaller centers support and help give identity to neighborhoods by providing a
visible and distinct focal point as well as employrnent and services. Densities of
nearby homes needed to support this scale are an average of 14 to 22 dwellings
per net acre."
The correlation between the future land use map of the growth policy and the zoning districts
is presented in Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020. As shown in the following
Correlation with Zoning Table, both B-2 and B-2M districts are implementing district of the
Community Commercial Mixed-Use category.

Goals and Policies
A zoning amendment is also evaluated against the goals and policies of the BCP 2020. Most
of the goals and policies are not applicable to this application. Relevant goals and objectives
have been identified by staff. Conflict with the text of the growth policy hasn't been identified.
The Short Term Action list on page 63 of the BCP 2020 describes 14 items to implement the
growth policy. The first two relate to direct changes to the zoning map in support of listed
goals and objectives. These include increasing the intensity of zoning districts in already
developed areas. Beginning on page 71 of the BCP 2020 in the section titled Zoning
Amendment Review, the document discusses how the City implements zoning for new areas,
amendments to areas, and revisions to existing text. This section includes a discussion of when
the City may initiate a zoning change to a more intensive district to increase development
opporlunities. This section demonstrates that the City, as a matter of policy, is supportive of
more intensive zoning districts and development, even within akeady developed areas. This
policy approach does not specify any individual district but does lean towards the more
intensive portion of the zoning district spectrum.
The Applicant argues the proposed zone change in accordance with the Growth Policy by
arguing, "... one of the central themes of the growth policy is high density residential growth
in appropriate areas to maximize e�ciency of new development and quality of life for new
residents. The larger height allowance of the B-2Mzoning will allow an additional floor and
13 more units to the proposed development. This increases density efficiently based on the
"infill" style of the development and amenity rich location. The proposed project fit well in
this location because:
• The high-density blends well with an established commercial district while elevating
the quality and amount of housing supply.
22189 Sta,fj`'Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 15 of 40
• The location promotes walkability given the proximity to the Streamline bus stop at the
Town & Country Grocery(800 ft.),Bozeman Deaconess Hospital(.8 miles), and major
employers'downtown (.9 miles).
• There are many nearby Amenities and employers within walking distance: Bridger
Orthopedic (.6 miles), Bridger Ear Nose & Throat (.7 miles), Bozeman Softball
Complex (400ft), and Sunset hills Nordic Trails (.3 miles).
• 10+ miles of walking trails can be accessed directly from the back of the property
extending to the Triple Tree trail south of town.
The proposed zoning change fits neatly within the use description of the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The FLUMlists this property as Community Commercial Mixed Use which includes
B-2M and is described in part as "High Density Housing and Mixed use".
The project will significantly increases housing supply nearly doubling the current inventory
of one and two bedroom units (see April 2022 Big Sky MLS report). "
It should be noted that according to the Tables 38.310.040.A,B,and C there are no differences
in uses between the B-2 and the B-2M zoning districts. There are however, important
differences between the two districts. The primary differences between these two districts is
that B-2M requires less parking for most uses, the ease in which residential uses may be
established on the ground floor, and minor increase in building mass through setbacks and
building height.
The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 focuses on these differences between the B-2 and B-2M
as desired outcomes to adapt to the needs of the community. This mix of development at
densities appropriate for a growing urban area is therefore grounded on tenets of the
Community Plan. Moreover, the B-2M zoning proposed through this application fosters
flexibility to address both current market trends and long term land use goals for the subject
property. The Community Plan includes several goals and objectives that are broadly served
through this application, including:
Goal N-2: Pursue simultaneous emergence of commercial nodes and residential
development through diverse mechanisms in appropriate locations.
N-2.3 Investigate and encourage development of commerce concurrent with, or soon
after,residential development. Actions, staff, and budgetary resources relating to
neighborhood commercial development should be given a high priority.
DCD-1.7 Coordinate infrastructure construction, maintenance, and upgrades to support
infill development,reduce costs, and minimize disruption to the public.
DCD-2.5 Identify and zone appropriate locations for neighborhood-scale commercial
development.
22189 Staff'Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 16 of 40
DCD-2.7 Encourage the location of higher density housing and public transit routes in
proximity to one another.
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.
M-1.4 Develop safe, connected, and complementary transportation networks for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal mobility devices (e-bikes, electric
scooters,powered wheelchairs, etc.)."
N-1.11 Enable a gradual and predictable increase in density in developed areas over time.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Criterion not met. The subject property is currently served by City of Bozeman Fire and Police
Departrnents. Future development of the property will be required to conform to all City of
Bozeman public safety, building, transportation, and land use requirements, which will
generally ensures this criterion is met. However, in this case, the known infrastructure
deficiencies (see discussion below) render finding that granting increased potential
development on this site, and any adjoining properties, is not secure from other dangers
contrary to a reasonable doubt. Although the change from B-2 to B-2M is small in uses
increased intensity allowed by B-2M will exacerbate the existing infrastructure deficiencies
(see discussion below).
C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare.
Criterion not met. City development standards included in Chapter 38, Unified Development
Code,building codes, and engineering standards all ensure that this criterion is met. Adequate
water and sewer supply and conveyance provide for public health through clean water. Rapid
and effective emergency response provides for public safety. The City's standards ensure that
adequate services are provided prior to building construction which advances this criterion.
General welfare has been evaluated during the adoption of Chapter 38 and found to be
advanced by the adopted standards. Provision of parks, control of storm water, and other
features of the City's development standards also advance the general welfare. Compliance
with the BCP 2020 as described in Section 4, Criterion A, shows advancement of the Plan but
not necessarily the well-being of the community as a whole.
The subject property is not well connected to the City's transportation system and is served by
an intersection known not to meet minimum service standards.There are no sidewalks adjacent
to the property and while those will be required to be constructed with the future development
there are no sidewalks connecting to nearby services and residential development.It is unlikely
development on this site would trigger construction of a full street section(Minor Arterial) of
Haggerty Lane as required by the Bozeman Transportation Plan due to a reasonable
proportionality.
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 17 of 40
The intersection of Haggerty Lane and East Main Street is listed on the Bozeman Capital
Improvement Plan (CII'), see SIF144, the improvement is not scheduled and is without
funding. In addition, street improvements for Haggerty Lane are listed in the CIP for at least
an additional six years.
See also Criterion B.
D. Facilitate the provision of transportation,water, sewerage, schools,parks and other
public requirements.
Criterion not met. The BCP 2020,page 74, says the following regarding evaluation of Section
4, Criteria B, C, &D for zoning amendments:
"For a map amendment, all three of the above elements are addressed primarily by
the City's long range facility Plans, the City's capital improvements program, and
development standards adopted by the City. The standards set minimum sizing and
flow requirements, require dedication of parks, provision of right of way for people
and vehicles, keep development out of floodplains, and other items to address public
safety, etc. It is often difficult to assess these issues in detail on a specific site.
For example,at the time of annexation,the final intensity of development is unknown
and it may be many years before development occurs and the impacts are
experienced. The availability of other planning and development review tools must
be considered when deciding the degree of assurance needed to apply an initial
zoning at annexation."
The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, water, sewer, parks,
sustainability, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The adopted plans allow
the City to consider existing conditions; and identify enhancements needed to provide service
to new development. See page 19 of the BCP 2020 for a listing. The City implements these
plans through its capital improvements program(CIP). The CIP identifies individual projects,
project construction scheduling, and financing of construction for infrashucture. Private
development must demonstrate compliance with standards prior to construction. Dedication of
school facilities is not required by municipal zoning standards.However, School District 7 will
have opportunity to review and comment on future development.
The subj ect properties are within the City's land use,transportation,parks,and utility planning
areas. Those plans show this property as developing within the City when development is
proposed.
As stated in 38.300.020.C, the designation of a zoning district does not guarantee approval of
new development until the City verifies the availability of needed infrastructure.
38.300.020.C, "Placement of any given zoning district on an area depicted on the
zoning map indicates a judgment on the part of the city that the range of uses allowed
within that district are generally acceptable in that location. It is not a guarantee of
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 18 of 40
approval for any given use prior to the completion of the appropriate review procedure
and compliance with all of the applicable requirements and development standards of
this chapter and other applicable policies,laws and ordinances.It is also not a guarantee
of immediate infrastructure availability or a commitment on the part of the city to bear
the cost of extending services."
Water and sewer is available to the site. A 10" sewer line under the property within an
easement. The sewer line is part of the Elks Club Property Sanitary Sewer Improvement
district. In addition, the Front Street 18" Interceptor is located on the north side of Haggerty
Lane. Finally, an 8"water supply adjacent to the property on the south
However, the subject property is not well connected to the City's transportation system and is
served by an intersection known to not meet minimum service standards. There are no
sidewalks adjacent to the property and while those will be required to be constructed with the
future development there are no sidewalks connecting to nearby services and residential
development. It is unlikely development on this site would trigger construction of a full street
section (Minor Arterial) of Haggerty Lane as required by the Bozeman Transportation Plan.
Such a large project may be beyond the capacity of such a small site for development.
Coordination with other properties required to address the scale of the necessary project and
meet standards for development exactions would be quite difficult. The intersection of
Highland Boulevard and East Main Street was recently upgraded to full signalization and
functionality. As a result of this improvement the City has an impact fee reimbursement due
in FY 2026 totaling as additional $850,000 (see SIF112) as a result of MDT required design
changes. Installation of full signalization cost approximately $1,500,000 not including curb,
gutter, stormwater water facilities, grading, road improvements, additional lanes, and other
ancillary infrastructure associated with the signal installation.
An advisory comment is included to place future development on notice of known deficiencies
in the transportation network serving this property. BMC 38.400.060 Street Improvement
Standards (B) (4) - All arterial and collector streets and intersections within one-half mile of
the site must operate at a minimum Level of Service (LOS) C unless specifically exempted by
the review authority. Therefore, the applicant is advised that the intersection of Haggerty Lane
and Main Street is located within one-half mile of the subject property, which has been
determined to operate below a minimum LOS C (Existing LOS is F per the City of Bozeman
Transportation Plan Apri125, 2017.
This analysis would likely come to a different conclusion upon infrastructure improvements
and a broader geographic area proposing up zoning.
E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
Criterion met. This criterion is not about individual preferences for a given degree of visual
openness but about preservation of public health. The B-2M district provides adequate light
and air through the Bozeman Unified Development Code's standazds for park and recreation
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 19 of 40
requirements, on-site open space for residential uses, maximum building height, lot coverage,
and setback requirements.
The form and intensity standards, Division 38.320,provide minimum lot areas, lot widths, lot
coverage and maximum floor area ratios, and prescribe require minimum separation from
property lines and limits building heights. Section 38.520.030 requires building placement to
ensure access to light and air. Division 38.420 and Section 38.520.060 require dedication of
parks and on-site open spaces to meet needs of residents. The standards provide a reasonable
provision of adequate light and air.
In addition to the zoning standards,adopted building codes contain more detailed requirements
for air circulation,window placement, and building separation that further ensure the intent of
this criterion is satisfied.
F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Criterion not met. The street section is not fully constructed and there are known deficiencies
in the transportation system. The proposed zone changes in itself does not create impacts on
city systems increasing potential impacts though a zoning change exacerbates potential
impacts.As noted in other evaluation criteria development of this site may not trigger sufficient
nexus or reasonable proportionality to require construction of a compete street to serve the
property. Therefore, development of the property is restricted.
Future development and redevelopment of the property will be required to comply with
transportation-related standards and reviewed for impacts on the surrounding streets,
intersections,and sidewalks, and improvements to the transportation network to serve the site,
which will improve the overall transportation system. These improvements include provisions
for non-motorized transportation systems. The change in zoning district will increase offsite
impacts.
The site has a Walk Score of 36, a Transit score of 20, and Bike Score of 57. Average walk
score for the city as a whole is 47 out of 100. According to Walk Score� the walks score
measures the walkability of any address based on the distance to nearby places and pedestrian
friendliness.
90— 100 Walker's Paradise. Daily errands do not require a car.
70—89 Very Walkable. Most errands can be accomplished on foot.
50—69 Somewhat walkable. Some errands can be accomplished on foot.
25—49 Car-Dependent. Most errands require a car.

These values are provided by Walk Score, a private organization which presents information
on real estate and transportation through walkscore.com. The algorithm which produces these
numbers is proprietary.A score is not an indication of safety or continuity of services or routes.
Scores are influenced by proximity of housing, transit, and services and expected ability, as
determined by the algorithm,to meet basic needs without using a car. Sites located on the edge
of the community have lower scores than those in the center of the community as the area is
still under development and therefore diversity of uses is less than in fully established areas.
There are no adopted development standards relating to the walk score.
The subject property is not well connected to the City's transportation system and is served by
an intersection known to not to meet minimum service standards. There are no sidewalks
adjacent to the property and while those will be required to be constructed with the future
development there are no sidewalks connecting to nearby services and residential
development. It is unlikely development on this site would trigger construction of a full street
section (Minor Arterial) of Haggerty Lane as required by the Bozeman Transportation Plan.

Future development will increase in overall density, which will directly increase the number
of vehicular and pedestrian trips from the subject property.Moreover,the primary intersection
that will be utilized to access the greater transportation network will be the intersection of
Haggerty Lane and Main Street. Development analysis. Future development must determine
the associated impacts of the development in relation to the Haggerty& Main intersection as
well as any mitigation measures necessary needed to mitigate the developments impacts. The
review authority may approve the development only if the LOS requirements are met in the
design year, which must be completed if mitigation measures are required to maintain LOS.
The intersection must have a minimum acceptable LOS of C for the intersection as a whole.
The intersection of Haggerty Lane and Main Street is located on a state controlled highway, in
which the Montana Department of Transportation retains the review authority and approval to
access as well as improvements. Currently,the City has the intersection of Haggerty Lane and
Main Street in the City's adopted Capital Improvement Program, but is unscheduled in terms
of future time.
G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Criterion met. The Bozeman Community Plan establishes a preferred and compatible
development pattern. "The land use map sets generalized expectations for what goes where in
the community... The land use categories and descriptions provide a guide for appropriate
development and redevelopment locations for civic, residential, commercial, industrial, and
other uses. The future land use designations are important because they aim to further the
vision and goals of the City through promoting sustainability, citizen and visitor safety, and a
high quality of life that will shape Bozeman's future." (Community Plan p. 51).
The City's future land use map designates the properties as Community Commercial Mixed-
Use. These designations correlate with several zoning districts including the B-2M district
proposed by the applicants. The districts were developed by the City to promote appropriate
urban growth compatible with the areas of the City as identified on the future land use map.
Based on the land use map designations and correlated zoning districts in the plan and proposed
by the applicants, the zone map amendment would promote compatible urban growth. Also
see the discussion in(H)below.
The applicant provides additional support by stating,"The designation this site as B-2M offers
additional design flexibility to and will offer future development to unfold compatible with
development adjacent to the existing zones. The flexibility offered by B-2M zoning will allow
the site to respond to and meet the demands of the surrounding neighborhoods, providing
complimentary retail, commercial uses, offices, and restaurants to serve the needs of the
community of Central Bozeman. All future design and conshuction will be compatible with
the UDC site and design standards, further ensuring compatibility for this site."
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 22 of 40
H. Character of the district.
Criterion met. Section 76-2-302, MCA says "...legislative body may divide the municipality
into districts of the number, shape, and area as are considered best suited to carry out the
purposes [promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community] of this
part."Emphasis added.
This proposal amends the zoning map and not the text. Therefore, no element of this
amendment modifies the standards of any zoning district. The character of the districts as
created by those standards remains intact.
As noted above,the City Commission has latitude in considering the geographical extents of a
zoning district. It is not expected that zoning freeze the character of an area in perpetuity.
Rather, it provides a structured method to consider changes to the character. This is especially
true when applying zoning to undeveloped areas as any new construction will alter the physical
characteristics of the area.
The City has defined compatible development as:
"The use of land and the construction and use of structures which is in harmony with
adjoining development, existing neighborhoods, and the goals and objectives of the
city's adopted growth policy. Elements of compatible development include, but are not
limited to, variety of architectural design; rhythm of architectural elements; scale;
intensity; materials; building siting; lot and building size; hours of operation; and
integration with existing community systems including water and sewer services,
natural elements in the area, motorized and non-motorized transportation, and open
spaces and parks. Compatible development does not require uniformity or monotony of
architectural or site design, density or use."
The City has adopted many standards to identify and avoid or mitigate demonstrable negative
impacts of development. These will support the ability of future development in the proposed
B-2M district to be compatible with adjacent development's mixed-use characteristics and
uphold the unique character of the area. The site has an existing commercial building,parking
area, other commercial businesses, and undeveloped area. There are a wide variety of uses
adjacent to the site including residential and commercial. A review of the uses allowed in the
proposed zones shows many similarities with existing and authorized uses in the surrounding
area. Therefore,the change in zoning does not appear to conflict with the character of the area.
I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Criterion met. Future uses for construction on the site are not fmalized at this time, so the
suitability of the site for particular uses is not easily evaluated. However, considering the
context of the site with a robust transportation system, large park area directly adjacent, major
streets serving the property, existing city services established, and the variety of land uses in
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 23 of 40
the immediate area, the proposed B-2M district allows for more similar configuration of uses
as the surrounding area, even though the B-2M district is a more intensive district than the
existing B-2 zoning generally allows.
As shown in Figure 2, the property is bounded by B-2 zoning on the east and west and PLI to
the north and south.The Softball Complex is directly to the south and Haggerty Lane and right-
of-way for I-90 to the north.
The proposed B-2M district can support many types of urban development that are likely to
serve the immediate area and region as a result of its location and proximity to major
transportation networks. Final determination of suitability will occur during the site
development process.
J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Criterion met. The site is vacant. B-2M zoning will allow for new and diverse development
patterns on the subject parcel that compliment development on adjacent sites as does the
existing B-2 designation. Future development must comply with the Bozeman Unified
Development Code which will ensure an appropriate scale and intensity of uses. As a result,
the proposed zone map amendment is not anticipated to negatively impact nearby building
values as the development pattern will be appropriate to the surrounding character of the
district.
The values of some buildings may improve in the future as new and improved amenities are
provided to the area as the site is developed according to the proposed B-2M district, while
other buildings' values are unlikely to be impacted largely due to a robust real estate market
and lack of unmitigated offensive uses allowed by the proposed zoning district.
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Criterion met. As stated above, the BCP 2020 illustrates the most appropriate use of the land
through the future land use map. This application complies with the BCP 2020 by proposing
zone map amendments of districts that continue to implement the future land use map
designations. In this case, urban mixed-use development have been identified by the
community as the most appropriate types of development for the property. The Unified
Development Code contains standards, protections and review processes to ensure the land is
developed in ways that are appropriate to a site's context and according to the BCP 2020.
Similarly, as stated by the applicant, "... the Bozeman Community Plan illustrates the most
appropriate use of the land. In this case Community Commercial Mixed Use development has
been identified by the community as the most appropriate types of development for the
property.The Unified Development Code contains standards,protections and review processes
to ensure the land is developed in ways that protect and promote public health, safety, and
general welfare."
22189 Sta,f,�'Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 24 of 40
Spot Zoning Criteria
Rezoning may, in certain factual circumstances,constitute impermissible"spot zoning."The issue
of whether a rezoning constitutes spot zoning was discussed by the Montana Supreme Court in
Plains Grains LP v. Board of County Comm'rs of Cascade County and Little v. Bd. Of County
Comm'rs, in which the Court determined that the presence of the following three conditions
generally will indicate that a given situation constitutes spot zoning, regardless of variations in
factual scenarios. Montana law employs the three-part Little test to evaluate whether a zoning
designation constitutes unlawful spot zoning:
The first prong of the three-part Little test examines whether the requested use would
differ significantly from the prevailing land uses in the area. The second prong
explores whether the area requested for the rezone would be "rather small" in terms of
the number of landowners benefitted by the requested zone change. Finally, the third
prong analyzes whether the requested zone change would be in the nature of"special
legislation" designed to benefit one or a few landowners at the expense of the
surrounding landowners or thepublic.
Plains Grains Ltd. P'ship v. Bd. Of Cty. Comm'rs of Cascade Cty., 2010 MT 155, 58-59, 357
Mont. 61, 238 P.3d 332 (internal citations omitted). As explained in Little, "[i]f spot zoning• is
invalid, usually all three elements are present or, said another way, the three statements may
merely be nuances of one another." Little v. Bd. Of Cty. Comm'rs of Flathead Cty., 193 Mont.
334,346,631 P.2d 1282, 1289 (1981).
Is the proposed use significantly diff'erent from the prevailing land uses in the area?
No. This criterion includes the modifier`significantly.' It is not prohibited to have uses that
are different. To be a Yes, the reviewer must demonstrate a `significant difference.'
The differences between B-2 and B-2M are small and not significant. Allowed uses are
identical although their integration into a single building does vary. As noted above,
parking requirements are less in the B-2M district that the B-2 district. As a result, the
proposed B-2M zoning designation would not result in primary uses of the site which are
significantly different from prevailing land uses in the area.
1. Is the area requested for the rezone rather small in terms of the number of separate
landowners benefited from the proposed change?
Yes. In order to determine whether or not this condition is present both this question and
the following point must be analyzed in concert. There is only one property involved with
the application. As noted above there are no differences in uses between the B-2 and the
B-2M zoning districts there is a difference in intensity. B-2M allows additional height,
more permissive parking standard,and more flexibility in the configuration of uses a within
the development. These characteristics are only benefitting the property owner in this
instance because increased intensity on this site will contribute negatively to the safety and
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 25 of 40
general welfare of adjacent properties. On the other hand, if multiple property owners and
a larger geographic area were proposing such a zoning change it may indicate a larger cross
section of the community that may benefit from the change.
In addition,most of the adjacent properties are partially developed and would benefit from
transportation improvements, those that would benefit most aze those undeveloped
properties served by the intersection of Haggerty Lane and East Main Street. If multiple
properties were involved in up-zoning the resulting development may have a larger impact
on economic activity and housing (likely) and contribute to the construction of necessary
infrastructure to support the increased intensity allowed by the B-2M district.
It remains that the B-2M zoning designation is an implementing district to the commercial
land use designation and promotes a variety of land uses that are needed for the function
and vitality of the immediate neighborhood and the greater community.
2. Would the change be in the nature of"special legislation"designed to benefit only one or
a few landowners at the expense of the surrounding landowners or the general public?
Yes. The aforementioned analysis identifies negative impacts to the surrounding
landowners and the general public due to this amendment. The number of landowners who
will directly benefit from the proposed zone map amendment is small (one), the proposed
amendment will exacerbate existing infrastructure deficiencies at the expense of
surrounding landowners and the general public. As discussed above in the various review
criteria, a number of negative impacts have been identified due to this amendment.
However,the proposed B-2M zoning designation will allow for a variety of uses conducive
to the Community Commercial Mixed Use land use designation.
Further, as discussed in Criterion A, the application is consistent both the City's growth
policy. The growth policy is the overall land use policy for the community. Consistency
with the growth policy demonstrates benefit to the general public. As discussed under
Criterion D, the City's development standards will require the applicant to provide the
needed infrastructure to support any proposed development prior to construction. While
concurrency and adequacy of infrastructure remove most potential injury to others,
proportionality of impacts supersedes the ability of this property owner to fully mitigate
impacts. This is due to the fact that Montana Department of Transportation has authority
of the design, conshuction, and timing of any improvements to this intersection rendering
the ability address this issue and has not indicated improvements will be considered at this
time.

APPENDIX A -DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTIDNAND
BACKGROUND
A zone map amendment requesting amendment of the City Zoning Map for an existing lot
consisting of approximately 0.55 acres from B-2 (Community Business District) to B-2M
(Community Business District-Mixed).
The owner, Haggerty Property Investments, LLC, Box 850, Bozeman, MT 59718 submitted
application to rezone a property totaling 0.55 acres, including adjacent right-of-way, from B-
2 to B-2M. The property is currently vacant. No future development plans were submitted or
required with the application. Under the proposed use item in the application it states the
proposed use will be"mixed."
Haggerty Lane is a designated Minor Arterial according to the Bozeman Area Master
Transportation Plan, 2017 Update. The intersection of Haggerty Lane and East Main Street
currently operates below a level "C" in function and would require improvements prior to
development of this or other sites in the vicinity.East Main Street is a Montana Department of
Transportation (MDT) route and would require coordination with this state agency to make
any improvements. NIDT has provided comment on this application.
The primary differences between the B-2 and B-2M districts are slight differences in building
height, more permissive residential use, and reduction of parking requirements. Building
height in the B-2 district is between 50-60 feet, depending on roof pitch. Building height in B-
22I89 Sta,fj`'Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 27 of 40
2M is five (5) stories or 60 feet. Residential use is allowed on the ground floor in without a
Conditional Use Permit in the B-2M zone and may be permitted in the B-2 district with an
approved CUP.
APPENDIX B -NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Notice was sent via US first class mail to all owners of property located inside the site and
within 200 feet of the perimeter of the site. The project site was posted with a copy of the
notice. The notice was published in the Legal Ads section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on
September 18, 2022 and October 2,2022. The Community Development Board acting in their
capacity as the Zoning Commission hearing is scheduled for October 3, 2022 and the City
Commission public hearing is scheduled for October 25,2022.

APPENDIX C-PROJECT GROWTH POLICYAND PROPOSED ZONING
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as community commercial mixed use in the Bozeman Community
Plan 2020 future land use map—see descriptions below.
"Community Commercial Mized Use." The growth policy states that, "activities within this
land use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community.
Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their
employee and customer base and are sized accordingly. A broad range of functions including
retail, education, professional and personal services, offices, residences, and general service
activities typify this designation. In the "center-based" land use pattern, Community
Commercial Mixed Use areas are integrated with significant transportation comdors,including
transit and non-automotive routes, to facilitate efficient travel opportunities. The density of
development is expected to be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 28 of 40

The Zoning Correlation Table on Page 58 of the Bozeman Community Plan, 2020 correlates
zoning districts with the Growth Policy's land use categories, demonstrating that the proposed
zoning designation of B-2M correlates with the Growth Policy's future land use designation
of"Community Commercial Mixed Use".
Proposed Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The applicant has requested zoning of B-2M (Community Business District-Mixed). The intent
of the B-2M district is"...to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substantial
growth and enhances the character of the city. This district provides for a range of commercial
uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages the integration
of multi-household residential as a secondary use. Design standards emphasizing pedestrian
22189 Staff Report for the Haggerty Lane Zone Map Amendment Page 29 of 40
oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial
corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit".
