HomeMy WebLinkAbout038 Growth Policy AdoptionHidden Creek Subdivision Preliminary Plat Application Growth Policy Adoption This proposed subdivision will create four separate lots. The proposed southern lot has been previously developed and is the location of the Gallatin County Rest Home with a parking lot. The remaining three lots will be directly to the north and are currently undeveloped. These lots are planned to be fully developed in the future after subsequent applications have been approved by the city. The proposed 4-lot minor subdivision advances the adopted growth policy by adding developable lots in an already developed neighborhood of Bozeman. As stated in the City of Bozeman Growth Policy, “an estimated 5,405 to 6,340 housing units for residents and employees are needed by 2025”. There are five affordable housing multi-family complexes proposed on these lots once they are fully developed which will help with the estimated housing needs. Most of the existing development in this area are single family houses to the north, south, and west of this property. With this subdivision and planned subsequent applications for development, affordable housing multi-family complexes will help diversify housing type in this area. The property is currently zoned R4, residential high-density district, which matches the developer’s intent to provide affordable housing in the future on the northern lots. The addition of this subdivision will also help this area become a “complete community” as defined in the City of Bozeman Growth Policy. This project will also help with City infill for undeveloped parcels located within City limits. The northern property also includes a pedestrian access and right of way easement to further provide future access for pedestrians and vehicular traffic. The pedestrian access easement connects to the existing PED access on the western portion of the property. The ROW easement is to provide for the future expansion of Oak Park Drive and the continuation of this road.
