PROJECT LOCATION
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of West Babcock Street and
South 10th Avenue. The site is commonly referred to as 917-921 West Babcock Street and is legally
described as Lots 25 and Lot 26 of Block H and that part of vacated South 10th Avenue described in
Document 2337846, Story’s Addition to City of Bozeman located in the NE 1/4 of Section 12, T2S,
R5E, PMM, Gallatin County, Montana. Please refer to the vicinity map on the following page.

Community Food Co-op GPA Staff Report #P-13011 Page 2 of 10
ZONING DESIGNATION AND LAND USES
The site being considered is currently occupied by two single-household dwellings and accessory structures. It is located in the West Main Entryway Corridor Overlay District and is currently zoned for R-4 (Residential High Density District) development. The intent of the R-4 district is “to provide
for high-density residential development through a variety of housing types within the city with
associated service functions. This will provide for a variety of compatible housing types to serve the varying needs of the community's residents. Although some office use is permitted, it shall remain as a secondary use to residential development. Secondary status shall be as measured by percentage of total building area.”
Community Food Co-op, Inc. presently owns and occupies approximately 75% of the entire City block
that also includes the requested growth policy amendment. The remaining 25% of the block is owned
and operated by Aspen Motors car dealership. Exclusive of the applicant’s current operation and associated off-street parking, their remaining portion of the City block is occupied by the two single-household dwellings and accessory structures, and a third dwelling located at the intersection of West
Babcock and South 9th Avenue. The third dwelling functions as an administration office for the
Community Food Co-op store.
West Babcock Street, a collector road, serves as a physical demarcation between the commercial block occupied by the Community Food Co-op store and the Aspen Motors dealership, and the residential
development to the south. The City block immediately to the south of the growth policy amendment
request is zoned for R-4, high density residential development, and contains a mix of single-household
dwellings and multi-household structures. One-half block further west, developed property zoned R-O
(Residential Office District) exists, and to the east the property is zoned B-2 (Community Commercial District).
Immediately to the north is the vacant Safeway store and of the B-2 commercial entryway corridor for
West Main Street. Urgent Care occupies the City block to the west and mirrors the development
patterns of the Food Co-op store with the commercial building facing onto the West Main Street
entryway corridor and off-street parking lot facilities orientated towards West Babcock Street. The Lewis and Clark Motel occupies the north half of the block to the east with the south half containing an

eclectic mix of residential land use types. Both City blocks to the east and west are zoned B-2 and
designated for development as “Community Commercial Mixed Use” on the Future Land Use Plan of the Bozeman Community Plan.
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 Department of Community Development recommends approval of the requested amendment with the two contingencies listed below.
Staff recommends the following contingencies to be included with any recommendation or action of
approval:
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 “Community Food Co-op 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, Community Food Co-op, Inc., 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 0.380 acres located at the northeast corner of the intersection of
West Babcock Street and South 10th Avenue. The subject property is located within the corporate
limits of the City of Bozeman and does not involve a request for annexation. If the City Commission
votes to approve the amendment; the applicant will then proceed with submitting a Zone Map
Amendment application to the Department of Community Development to amend the City of Bozeman Zone Map from “R-4” (Residential High Density District) to B-2 (Community Commercial District).
The applicant’s intent with processing both amendments is to establish the necessary land use and
zoning designations to proceed with the growth and expansion of the existing Food Co-op store.
Please refer to maps provided on page 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 designations, and a vicinity map with the current land uses.

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 locally established through its growth policy
four specific criteria for amendment. The Bozeman Department of Community Development has
reviewed the application against the locally established criteria of the Bozeman Community Plan, 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;
This growth policy amendment is being sought to facilitate the expansion of an existing business
within the City of Bozeman. Therefore, a change in the subject property’s land use designation would
satisfy several goals and objectives of the Bozeman Community Plan, including:
Economic Goals and Objectives:
• Goal ED-1 (Page 8-4): Promote and encourage the continued development of Bozeman as a vital
economic center.
• Objective ED (Page 8-4): Support business creation, retention, and expansion. Emphasize small
businesses, “green” businesses, and e-businesses.
• Goal ED-2 (Page 8-4): Support balanced policies and programs to encourage a durable, vigorous,
and diverse economy.
• Objective ED-2.4 (Page 8-5): Foster a diverse economy that will protect the economic climate for
existing businesses and maintain opportunities for business expansion.
As noted previously, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the current land use designation to “Community Commercial Mixed Use” to grow and expand the existing B-2 commercial business. Development of the subject property as B-2 would be consistent with the current commercial land use
patterns situated along the West Main Street entryway corridor. Please refer to Attachment “A” for a
list of permitted principal (P) and conditional uses (C) allowed in the B-2 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. As
discussed in criterion #1 above a number of economic goals and objectives would be accomplished
with approval of the amendment.
3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy;
There are seven basic ideas which form the foundation for many of the land use policies contained in the Bozeman Community Plan (page 3-3 to 3-6), one of which is the concept of “neighborhoods”.
There is strong public support for the preservation of existing neighborhoods that includes the
strengthening and support through adequate infrastructure, availability, maintenance and other actions.
In this case the site is part of a commercial neighborhood situated along West Main Street. Therefore, it also a part of the public streetscape and entryway corridor that supports a sense of place created by such landmarks as the downtown business core that is encouraged by the Bozeman Community Plan.
With the concept of “sustainability” allowances to facilitate the expansion of existing businesses are
also consistent with the intent of the growth policy where development should be based on
125
Community Food Co-op GPA Staff Report #P-13011 Page 6 of 10
neighborhoods, including commercial neighborhoods. Sustainability is a holistic issue and should be
interwoven through the City’s operations and regulations.
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 should not impact the residential development to the south, finding that West Babcock Street presents a physical separation from the existing and future
commercial development to the north. Approval of the amendment would complete the foresight
along the West Main Street corridor to offer sustainable opportunities for the growth and expansion of
commercial activities and a viable community. As the subject property is located in the West Main
Street entryway corridor overlay district, the final character of the site’s development will be subject to review to the City’s design standards, including standards to address the interface between residential
and non-residential development.
Requiring unmitigated larger or more expensive improvements to streets, water, sewer, or other
public facilities or services, thereby impacting development of other lands,
The street improvements and related infrastructure to service the subject 0.380-acre site are currently in place and available with minimum expense. Development of the site will improve the public
streetscape along this section of West Babcock Street, if not the condition of street curbing and
boulevard sidewalks. The evaluation by the Development Review Committee (DRC) indicates that
adequate sewer and water can be made available to the site. Other services such as police and fire are
already provided to the entire area.
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 finding that the
predominant land use types in the area is residential. The same “Residential” land use category is
already present to the west, north and south for development lying west of North 27th Avenue.
PUBLIC COMMENT
No written comment on the matter of the requested growth policy amendment has been submitted as of
the writing of this report.
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
The Department of Community Development and the Development Review Committee have reviewed
the application and have provided summary review comments as outlined above in the staff report; and as a result, recommend approval of the application with said contingencies.
The recommendation of the Planning Board will be forwarded to the Bozeman City Commission for
consideration at its public hearing scheduled for Monday, June 17, 2013. The City Commission will
make the final decision on the application.
