Growth Policy Implications
Potentially Advances
R-1.3 Be inclusive: prioritize broad
consultation to create a sense of shared
ownership in decision making.
Potentially Conflicts
R-2.4 Social Equity: Provide solutions that are inclusive with consideration to populations
that are often most fragile and vulnerable to sudden impacts.
R-2.5 Technical Soundness: Identify solutions that reflect best practices that have been
tested and proven to work in similar local or regional contexts.
DCD-1.2 Remove regulatory barriers to infill.
DCD-1.13 Pursue acquisition and development of diverse water sources and resources.
EPO-3.5 Update land development standards to implement the Integrated Water
Resources Plan.
RC-1.1 Consider regional impacts when making policy decisions affecting areas outside the
City.
RC-1.5 Implement the Triangle Community Plan in coordination between Bozeman,
Belgrade, and Gallatin County.
RC-3.1 Work with Gallatin County to create compact, contiguous development and infill to
achieve an efficient use of land and infrastructure, reducing sprawl and preserving open
space, agricultural lands, wildlife habitat, and water resources.
RC-3.4 Encourage annexation of land adjacent to the City prior to development and
encourage annexation of wholly surrounded areas.
Goal RC-4: Ensure that all City actions support continued development of the City,
consistent with its adopted Plans and standards.
