Phase 2 Pines Apartments - CILP
CILP Narrative:
We are proposing to provide cash-in-lieu of parkland for the Phase 2 Pines Apartments. This CILP
narrative provides a response to the criteria laid out in Resolution 4784 stating whether the project
meets each criterion. Responses are in red.
· The City’s preference for acquisition of real property for parks.
The project exceeds the minimum residential density required by code. The project has limited
space after providing open space, snow storage, and parking that meets code requirements.
· The desirability and suitability of land within or proposed by the development for parks and
playgrounds based on size, topography, shape, water supply, location, or other circumstances.
· Proximity of the development to existing parks and recreational facilities.
There are no nearby parks but the project is adding to the density around the Montana State
University campus. There is open space that stretches along South 19th Street.
· Type, function of facilities included within nearby park(s) (i.e., pocket park, special use park,
neighborhood park, community park, etc.)
The building is 19’-11” away from the property line, parallel to the open space along South
19th Street.
· The level of service (as defined in the adopted city-wide park master plan) provided by nearby
park(s).
N/A
· Whether the proposal provides an opportunity for partnerships, or whether grant funds are
currently available.
No use of grant funds or partnership opportunities are proposed with the project.
· Whether the developer or future property owners are required to participate in the costs of
maintenance of nearby park or recreational facilities.
N/A
· Long term availability of city funds for maintenance of the proposed facilities.
No facilities are proposed with this project.
· Requirements established pursuant to 38.420.020 and 38.420.030, BMC regarding residential
density.
The project is in the R-4 zoning district and has 27.3 units/acre. Per section 38.420.020.A.1,
the maximum net residential density is over 12 units and does not require land dedication.
· The expressed preference of the developer.
The developer’s preference is to pay cash-in-lieu of parkland. The design is intended to
provide the highest density available to offset the high cost of construction to offer a product
at the fairest price possible. The high density project provides adequate parking, snow storage,
and open space.
Thanks for everyone’s time in the review of cash-in-lieu of parkland for the Pines Phase 2 Apartments
2
project.
