#Z-07086 Legends at Bridger Creek II PUD Modifications: Staff Report 2
PROPOSAL
Application has been made to modify the approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the Legends at
Bridger Creek II Planned Unit Development (PUD) Preliminary Plan. This PUD is ~ 57 acres to be
developed as 127 lots for single household use with a community center, park, open space and trail
system. The modification requested would allow the construction of 22 single-family townhouses in
an attached duplex orientation on lots 26-38a and 53-59a. The applicant is proposing to relocate 2
lots from other areas in the PUD to include in the townhouse units. The project will have access from
MT Highway 86 (aka Bridger Drive/Bridger Canyon Road), Boylan Road, and internal streets.
The applicant is requesting relaxation of standards in the Bozeman Municipal Code for the following
section: 18.16.040, Lot Area and Width; to allow lots to have a minimum area of 4,593 square feet.
The intent of Section 18.36 “Planned Unit Development” is to promote maximum flexibility and
innovation in the development of land and the design of development projects within the city.
ZONING DESIGNATION & LAND USES
The subject property is zoned “R-1” (Residential Single-Household, Low Density District), and is
within the Rouse Avenue and State Primary (Bridger Canyon Road) Entryway Corridor Overlay
District. The intent of the “R-1” residential district is to provide for single-household residential
development and related uses within the City at urban densities, and to provide for such community
facilities and services as will serve the area’s residents while respecting the residential character and
quality of the area. The intent of the Entryway Corridor Overlay district is to ensure that the quality
of development along these corridors will enhance the impression and enjoyment of the community
both by guiding development and change that occurs after the adoption of the ordinance codified in
this title, and by stimulating and assisting, in conjunction with other provisions of this title,
#Z-07086 Legends at Bridger Creek II PUD Modifications: Staff Report 3
improvements in signage, landscaping, access and other contributing elements of entry corridor
appearance and function. The following land uses and zoning are adjacent to the subject property:
North: “AS” (County Zoning Agricultural Suburban) – Unincorporated, agricultural, and dwelling
units.
East: “R-1” (Residential Single-Household, Low Density District) – Creekwood Subdivision.
South: “RS” (Residential Suburban) –Unincorporated, Mt. Baldy and Ed Vogel Subdivisions,
dwelling units.
West: “R-1” (Residential Single-Household, Low Density District) – Legends at Bridger Creek I.
ADOPTED GROWTH POLICY DESIGNATION
The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. The “R-1”
(Residential Single-Household, Low Density District) zoning designation is consistent with this land
use designation of the property.
Residential. This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density living
quarters. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low intensity
home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. The residential designation also
indicates that it is expected that development will occur within municipal boundaries which may
require annexation prior to development. The dwelling unit density expected within this
classification varies. It is expected that areas of higher density housing would be likely to be located
in proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the broadest range of feasible transportation options
for the greatest number of individuals and support businesses within commercial centers. Low
density areas should have an average minimum density of six units per net acre. Medium density
areas should have an average minimum density of twelve units per net acre. High density areas
should have an average minimum density of eighteen units per net acre. A variety of housing types
should be blended to achieve the desired density with large areas of single type housing being
discouraged. In limited instances the strong presence of constraints and natural features such as
floodplains may cause an area to be designated for development at a lower density than normally
expected within this classification.
All residential housing should be arranged with consideration given to the existing character of
adjacent development, any natural constraints such as steep slopes, and in a fashion which advances
the overall goals of the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. The residential designation is intended to
provide the principal locations for additional housing within the Planning Area.
REVIEW CRITERIA & FINDINGS
The City of Bozeman Planning Office has reviewed the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with
relaxations for the Baxter Meadows Planned Unit Development (PUD) Phase 4 Preliminary Plan
against the criteria set forth in Section 18.34.090, Section 18.34.100 and Chapter 18.36 of the
Bozeman Municipal Code. The findings outlined in this report include comments and recommended
conditions provided by the Development Review Committee (DRC) and Design Review Board
(DRB).
#Z-07086 Legends at Bridger Creek II PUD Modifications: Staff Report 4
Section 18.34.090 “Site Plan and Master Site Plan Review Criteria”
In considering applications for site plan approval under this title, the Planning Director, City
Commission, DRC, and when appropriate, the ADR Staff, the DRB, the BABAB, the CAHAB or
WRB shall consider the following:
1. Conformance to and consistency with the City’s adopted growth policy.
The development proposal is in conformance with the “Residential” land use designation in the
Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. Specific goals related to the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan
include the following:
• Goal 4.9.1 Community Design–Create a community composed of neighborhoods designed
for human scale and compatibility in which services and amenities are convenient, visually
pleasing, and properly integrated and designed to encourage walking, cycling, and mass
transit use.
• Goal 5.7.1 Housing–Promote an adequate supply of safe housing that is diverse in type,
density, and location, with a special emphasis on maintaining neighborhood character and
stability.
This project has a net density of ~ 5.7 dwelling units per acre. The minimum net density has to be
balanced with the requirement to implement the progressive urban design guidelines outlined in the
Bozeman 2020 Community Plan for both community and neighborhood design, including land use
patterns and development of the property that addresses compatibility with, and sensitive to, the
immediate environment of the site and the adjacent neighborhoods. This modification does not
change the net density.
2. Conformance to this title, including the cessation of any current violations.
The final plan shall comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman Municipal
Code. The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not
specifically listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation
of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or state law.

Section 18.34.100 “City Commission Consideration and Findings for Conditional Use Permits”
In addition to the review criteria outlined above, the City Commission shall, in approving a
conditional use permit, find favorably as follows:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate such
use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate
to properly relate such use with the land and uses in the vicinity.
Other than the conditions recommended for approval, the site is generally adequate in size and
topography to accommodate the potential uses and related site improvements.

rural subdivisions – Mount Baldy and Ed Vogel. It is designed with open space buffers along the
north and west boundaries, and an alley as requested by the adjoining property owners along the
south. The east side has been designed to blend with the Creekwood Subdivision. Therefore, this
modification will generally have no material adverse effect upon the abutting property.
3. That any additional conditions stated in the approval are deemed necessary to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare. Such conditions may include, but are not limited
to:
a. Regulation of use. This project has a net density of ~ 5.7 dwelling units per acre. This
modification does not change the net density.

Chapter 18.36 “Planned Unit Development Design Objectives and Criteria”
In addition to the review criteria outlined for site plan and conditional use permit review, the City
Commission shall, in approving a planned unit development, find favorably as follows:
All Development
(1) Does the development comply with all City design standards, requirements and specifications for the following services: water supply, trails/walks/bike ways, sanitary supply,
irrigation companies, fire protection, electricity, flood hazard areas, natural gas, telephone,
storm drainage, cable television, and streets?
The applicant has not requested a deviation, waiver or relaxation from any of the above listed
services, and the development generally complies with city design standards.
(2) Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation?
In the area along Bridger Creek there are cottonwoods, dogwood, quaking aspen, chokecherry,
willow and alder. In the area that has historically been in agricultural use there are no significant
levels of mature vegetation (trees or large bushes).
(3) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to produce an efficient, functionally organized and cohesive
planned unit development?
With both vehicular and pedestrian connectivity, the elements of the site plan are designed to
produce an efficient, functionally organized and cohesive planned unit development.
#Z-07086 Legends at Bridger Creek II PUD Modifications: Staff Report 9
(4) Does the design and arrangement of elements of the site plan (e.g. building construction,
orientation, and placement; transportation networks; selection and placement of landscape
materials; and/or use of renewable energy sources; etc.) contribute to the overall reduction of
energy use by the project? The availability of internal pedestrian circulation created by sidewalks, pathways, and the trail
system contribute to the overall reduction of energy use by the project.
(5) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g. buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping,
etc.) designed and arranged to maximize the privacy by the residents of the project?
Within the PUD, the residential areas are generally designed for some level of privacy, with open
space corridors providing separation.
(6) Park Land. Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas contribute
to the overall aesthetic quality of the site configuration, and has the area of park land or open
space been provided for each proposed dwelling as required by §18.50.020, BMC?
This modification does not change the requirements of the approved final PUD Plan.
(7) Performance. All PUDs shall earn at least twenty performance points.
The approved final PUD Plan achieves this requirement.
(8) Is the development being properly integrated into development and circulation patterns of
adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated
“pad” to adjoining development? The design of the PUD provides integrated circulation patterns with connections to all adjacent
streets. The proposed pedestrian plan within the PUD will provide open access for all neighborhoods
to enjoy the open space areas and trail system.
Residential Development
(1) On a net acreage basis, is the average residential density in the project (calculated for
residential portion of the site only) consistent with the development densities set forth in the
land use guidelines of the Bozeman growth policy?
This project has a net density of ~ 5.7 dwelling units per acre. The minimum net density has to be
balanced with the requirement to implement the progressive urban design guidelines outlined in the
Bozeman 2020 Community Plan for both community and neighborhood design, including land use
patterns and development of the property that addresses compatibility with, and sensitive to, the
immediate environment of the site and the adjacent neighborhoods. This modification does not
change the net density.
(2) Does the project provide for private outdoor areas (e.g., private yards, patios and balconies,
etc.) for use by the residents and employees of the project which are sufficient in size and have
adequate light, sun, ventilation, privacy and convenient access to the household or commercial
units they are intended to serve? The project provides for a variety of outdoor areas, with both private yards and public spaces.
#Z-07086 Legends at Bridger Creek II PUD Modifications: Staff Report 10
(3) Does the project provide for outdoor areas for use by persons living and working in the
development for active or passive recreational activities?
The project provides outdoor areas that include a community center, pedestrian trail(s), as well as
areas for passive recreation.
(4) If the project is proposing a residential density bonus as described below, does it include a
variety of housing types and styles designed to address community wide issues of affordability
and diversity of housing stock?
Not applicable.
(5) Is the overall project designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and to provide efficient public services and facilities?
The overall project is designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and to provide
efficient public services and facilities.
(6) Residential Density Bonus.
Not applicable.
(7) Limited Commercial.
Not applicable.
(8) Does the overall PUD recognize and, to the maximum extent possible, preserve and promote
the unique character of neighborhoods in the surrounding area? The overall project is a single-use development in a largely rural but developing area. However, the
Bozeman 2020 plan has designated this area for “Residential” land use. Therefore, this project
promotes the rural character of the adjacent neighborhood by allowing and promoting pedestrian
trails, and by preserving watercourses.
PUBLIC COMMENT No public comment has been received to date. Any public comments received after the date of this
report will be distributed at the public hearing.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
