Item: An application to amend Figure 3-1 of the Bozeman Community Plan to change the future land
use designation on 1.788 acres from Community Commercial Mixed Use to Residential.
Owner/Applicant: Sandra Hamilton, 115 Middle Creek Lane, Bozeman MT 59718
Representative: Intrinsik Architecture, Inc., Bozeman MT 59715
Date/Time: Before the Bozeman Planning Board on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 6:00 PM in the Commission Meeting Room, City Hall, 121 North Rouse Avenue Bozeman, Montana; and before the Bozeman City Commission on Monday, June 17, 2013 at 6:00 PM in the Commission Meeting Room,
City Hall, 121 North Rouse Avenue Bozeman, Montana
Report By: Dave Skelton, Senior Planner
Recommendation: Approval with contingencies.
Recommended Motion for Growth Policy Amendment Application: “Having reviewed the
application materials, considered public comment, and the staff analysis, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff report for #P-13012 and move to recommend that the City Commission approve the growth policy amendment requested in application #P-13012 changing Figure 3-1 of the Bozeman Community Plan from Community Commercial Mixed Use to Residential subject to
the contingencies listed on page 2 and 3 of the staff report.”
PROJECT LOCATION
The subject property is located west of North 27th Avenue between Catron Street and Cattail Street.
The site is commonly referred to as 3079 North 27th Avenue and is legally described as Lot 2, Block 7,
Cattail Creek Subdivision, Phase 1 located in the NW 1/4 of Section 35, T1S, R5E, PMM, Gallatin County, Montana. Please refer to the vicinity map on the following page.

Cattail Creek/Hamilton GPA Staff Report #P-13012 Page 2 of 10
ZONING DESIGNATION AND LAND USES
ZONING DESIGNATION AND LAND USES
The site being considered is currently vacant. It is located in Cattail Creek Subdivision, Phase 1 and is currently zoned R-O (Residential Office District). The intent of the R-O District is “to provide for and
encourage the development of multi-household and apartment development and compatible
professional offices and businesses that would blend well with adjacent land uses. The primary use of
a lot, as measured by building area, permitted in the R-O district is determined by the underlying growth policy land use designation. Where the district lies over a residential growth policy designation the primary use shall be non-office uses; where the district lies over a nonresidential designation the
primary use shall be office and other nonresidential uses. Primary use shall be measured by
percentage of building floor area.”
If the applicant is successful in amending the growth policy designation a zone map amendment to change the current R-O zoning designation is not necessary. The intent is to amend the current land use designation to “Residential” so the primary use may be non-office uses and fully develop as
residential land use types.
Please refer to maps provided on page 3 and 4 illustrating the vicinity of the Figure 3-1 Future Land
Use Map being considered with this application, overlaid with the existing land use and zoning, and a vicinity map with the current land uses.
RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES
Based upon review and consideration by the Development Review Committee and Department of
Community Development, and after evaluation of the proposed amendment against the criteria set
forth in Chapter 17, Bozeman Community Plan, the Planning Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment with the two contingencies listed below.
In the event that the Planning Board finds differently, Staff recommends the following contingencies to
be included with any recommendation or action of approval:
Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses
North: Developed lands, containing a mix of
offices (Bozeman Social Security Office) and multi-household
development zoned R-O (Residential
Office District).
South: Developed residential lands
containing multi-household dwellings zoned R-O.
East: Undeveloped lands zoned B-1
(Neighborhood Business District)
and M-1 (Light Manufacturing
District).
West: Developed residential lands zoned R-3
(Residential Medium Density District).

1) The applicant shall submit, within forty-five (45) days of approval by the City Commission, an
8½- x 11-inch or 8½- x 14-inch exhibit entitled “Cattail Creek/Hamilton Growth Policy Amendment” to the Department of Community Development containing an accurate
description of the property for which the growth policy designation is being amended. The
exhibit must be acceptable to the Community Development Department.
2) The resolution for the growth policy amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant
provides an exhibit of the area to be re-designated, which will be utilized in the preparation of the resolution to officially amend Figure 3-1, the Future Land Use Map of the Bozeman
Community Plan.
PROPOSAL
The property owner has made application to the Department of Community Development for a Growth
Policy Amendment to amend Figure 3-1 of the Bozeman Community Plan on approximately 1.788 acres lying west of North 27th Avenue, being situated between Catron Street and Cattail Street. The
subject property is located within the corporate limits of the City of Bozeman and does not involve a
request for annexation.
This is the second Growth Policy Amendment for the subject property. In 2004 the City of Bozeman
approved amending the growth policy designation for approximately 36.32± acres along the North 27th Avenue corridor from “Business Park” to “Residential” on 22.57 acres, from “Business Park” to “Neighborhood Commercial” on 5.97 acres, and from “Industrial” to “Neighborhood Commercial” on
7.78 acres (please refer to Exhibit “B” at the end of the staff report).

REVIEW CRITERIA
A change in the growth policy is a legislative act to set policy relating to future development proposals.
There are no statutory criteria for evaluation of a growth policy amendment other than the general
purposes for a growth policy. The City of Bozeman has established, through its growth policy four
specific criteria for an amendment. The Bozeman Department of Community Development has reviewed the application against the criteria, and as a result offers the following summary-review
comments for consideration.
1. The proposed amendment must cure a deficiency in the growth policy, or improve the growth
policy, to better respond to the needs of the general community;
The amendment is for a small area and is unlikely to materially change the growth policy. However, the proposal does raise questions about the development of the minor arterial corridor of North 27th
Avenue and what type of development is appropriate. The applicant is requesting to amend the current
land use designation to “Residential” under the current R-O zoning designation. This is based on the
applicant’s arguments that “there is a need for more diverse housing development options for incoming
and existing citizens in proximity to the commercial uses in this area.” The applicant’s narrative states that “the development of this property for primarily residential uses will provide for needed housing
diversity and a range of unit prices which should result in a neighborhood of diverse socio-economic
status. With a future elementary school site within walking distance, families will have the significant
convenience of not having to drive their children to the school.”
151
Cattail Creek/Hamilton GPA Staff Report #P-13012 Page 5 of 10
The amendment request is generally consistent with the existing residential land use patterns in Cattail
Creek Subdivision, Phase 1. This includes a broad range of residential housing types from single-household dwellings to multi-household structures. Please refer to Attachment “A” of the staff report
that provides a list of permitted principal (P) and conditional uses (C) allowed in the R-O district.
2. The proposed amendment does not create inconsistencies within the growth policy, either
between the goals and the maps or between different goals and objectives.
The proposed change does not appear to cause any material inconsistencies in the growth policy.
3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy;
The proposed change does not appear to be inconsistent with the growth policy.
4. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the community as a whole or significant
portion by:
Significantly altering land use patterns and principles in a manner contrary to those established by this plan,
The requested Growth Policy Amendment would generally not impact the residential development of
Cattail Creek Subdivision in the subject area. Presently North 27th Avenue provides a demarcation
boundary from future neighborhood commercial and light manufacturing to the east. The perimeter
area to the north and south are predominantly developed with multi-household type land uses. However, the intersection of North 27th Avenue and Catron Street is still envisioned to develop with
neighborhood commercial and offices as demonstrated on Figure 3-1 of the Bozeman Community
Plan. This type of development has already occurred at the northwest corner of the intersection where
the Bozeman Social Security Office is located.
Requiring unmitigated larger or more expensive improvements to streets, water, sewer, or other public facilities or services, thereby impacting development of other lands,
The site is located southwest of the intersection of the minor arterial North 27th Avenue and the local
street, Catron Street. This intersection functions as a principal destination route for both commercial
and residential activities in the community. The street improvements and related infrastructure for this
intersection and subdivision were completed with the development as part of Cattail Creek Subdivision. The evaluation by the Development Review Committee (DRC) indicates that adequate
sewer and water can be made available to the parcel. Other services such as police and fire are already
provided to the entire area, including the commercial development to the east.
Adversely impact existing uses because of unmitigated greater than anticipated impacts on
facilities and services, or
No extraordinary impacts on facilities or services are anticipated from the potential change in land use.
Negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of the residents.
The development of this site will be subject to the standards of the adopted land use regulations. These
will be adequate to address concerns of health and safety. Based on existing residential development
in the area, the livability of the area is unlikely to be materially affected by the change because the predominant land use type in the area is residential. The same “Residential” land use category is
already present to the west, north and south.
PUBLIC COMMENT
No written comment on the matter of the requested growth policy amendment has been submitted as of
the writing of this report.
