Collectively,this information is the record of the review.The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review. Plan Review, Section 38.230.100, BMC In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the Director of Community Development shall consider the following: 1. Conformance with Article 1 -Consistency with the City's adopted Growth Meets Code? Policy 38.100.040.D Growth Policy Urban Neighborhood Yes Land Use Zonin R-4, Residential Hi h Densit District Yes Comments: The Bozeman Community Plan 2020, on page 73, tliscusses how zoning regulations are made in accordance with a growth policy. "The City must balance many issues in approving urban development. Therefore, it is not unusual if there is some tension between competing priorities,even if there is no explicit contradiction in policy." The adopted regulations in Chapter 38, the Uniform Development Code (UDC), are the result of the Commission considering and balancing a wide range of issues and the regulations provide an overall compliance basis of evaluation of the specific development application to the aims and aspirations of the growth policy. This balancing in crafting regulations means that individual goals or objectives are not maximized to the exclusion of other priorities, and evaluation occurs against the whole of the growth policy. Applications consistent with the adopted regulations are in accordance with the overall growth policy. R-4 is an implementing district of the 2020 Community Plan designation of Urban Neighborhood and is supported by the following goals: - Goal DCD-1: "Support urban development within the City." Staff Comment: The proposed sife plan application is for the construction of an Essential Services Type 2 building located within Bozeman City limits. The site plan supports urban developmenf by expanding the existing City lift station, promofing additional development capacity within the surrounding neighborhoods. - Goal DCD-2: "Encourage growth throughout the City,while enhancing the pattern of community development oriented on centers of employment and activity. Support an increase in tlevelopment intensity within developed areas." Staff Comment: The proposed site plan application is for an expansion of an existing City lift station located within an existing residential neighborhood. The proposed expansion will support the increased development already approved within the surrounding area. Growth Policv—Urban Neiahborhood: This category primarily includes urban tlensity homes in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single type of housing are discouraged. In limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross density due to site constraints and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes. Complementary uses such as parks, home-based occupations, fire stations, churches,schools, and some neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for community gathering and services. The Urban Neighborhood designation intlicates that development is expected to occur within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior to development.Applying a zoning district to specific parcels sets the required and allowed density. Higher density residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not required or restricted to, proximity to commercial mixed-use areas to facilitate the provision of services antl employment opportunities without requiring the use of a car.
