RE: Gallatin Center Subdivision Deviation Request – Block Length
Dear City of Bozeman Engineering,
WWC Engineering is requesting a deviation from the 400-foot maximum block length requirement
outlined in BMC Section 38.410.040.B for the proposed Gallatin Center Subdivision.
The property was recently rezoned to B-2M, which supports and encourages commercial development.
Due to the permitted land uses in this zoning and the subdivision’s location, commercial land uses are
anticipated. These uses typically require larger lot sizes, which in turn necessitate longer block lengths.
The site is also bounded by arterial and collector roadways, which require approach spacing in accordance
with City access management standards. This further limits the number of street intersections and
reinforces the need for larger block lengths in this case. Furthermore, proposed Lot B is a restricted
remainder lot subject to subsequent subdivision review(s) prior to any development. Block length
requirements of the Lot B property will be addressed at the time of the future subdivisions.
These conditions collectively support a deviation from the standard block length requirement. The
proposed block lengths of developable lots do not exceed the maximum length of 1,320 feet, which is
stated as the absolute maximum block length which can in no case be exceeded as outlined in BMC
Section 38.410.040.B.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with any comments or questions to the email address
provided below, or feel free to contact me directly at 406-586-0262.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
WWC Engineering
