Introduction Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
1.1 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN JURISDICTIONAL AREA
As stated above, the study area includes land that is currently not within the City of Bozeman. It is
important to note that this plan, and any recommended implementation strategies, will a1212lv_�nly to
land within the City of Bozeman. This practice was established during the Bozeman 2020
Community Plan planning process; the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan plans for an area that
approximates the City's 20-year sewer service boundary. There is nothing in state law that prevents a
city from planning for an area outside of the city. The Plan includes areas currently outside the City only
to inform owners of those properties of what they could expect if and when they ever decide to annex
to the City. This increases predictability for these property owners. In addition, if and when those
properties are proposed for annexation, one step of the development process —namely a Growth Policy
Amendment — would be unnecessary. The best the City can do is to plan for areas that might
reasonably be expected to annex to the City within the next 20 years. It is reasonable to expect that the
County lands within the study area might be annexed within the next 20 years.
1.2 BOZEMAN 2020 COMMUNITY PLAN
The Bozeman 2020 Community Plan, a growth policy for the City of Bozeman,was adopted by the City
Commission on October 22, 2001. The Bozeman 2020 Community Plan is a long-range plan that
guides the development and public policy decisions which shape Bozeman's physical, environmental,
economic, and social character. The Bozeman 2020 Community Plan includes all of the elements
required by state statute,including:
Community goals and objectives;
Maps and text describing an inventory of the existing characteristics and features of the
community;
Projected trends for the life of the policy;
A description of policies, regulations, and other measures to be implemented in order to achieve
the goals and objectives;
A strategy for the development,maintenance, and replacement of public infrastructure;
A plan for implementing and updating the growth policy;
A statement of how the governing bodies will coordinate and cooperate with other jurisdictions;
A statement defining subdivision review criteria, and how the criteria will be applied; and
A statement explaining how public hearings regarding proposed subdivisions will be conducted.
The 2020 Plan contains goals, objectives, and implementation policies for the following:
Community quality;
Housing;
Land use;
Economic development;
Environmental quality and critical lands;
Parks,recreation,pathways, and open space;
Transportation; and
Page 1-2
Introduction Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
is intended for areas where there is still a significant opportunity to shape a desired land use pattern and
coordinate between existing and/or future developments. Areas of special concern for coordination are
parks, trails, roadways, and utilities. A neighborhood plan should extend over an area of at least 160
acres,while a minimum area of 640 acres is preferred for subarea plans.
The preparation of a specialized plan may be initiated by the City Commission or effected landowners.
By state law, the preparation of a growth policy is the responsibility of the Planning Board if the
governing body has requested it. Consequently, the development of a specialized plan must involve
representatives of the Planning Board. The preparation of the neighborhood and subarea plans
therefore becomes a means of increasing predictability during the development review process by
establishing in public documents the expectations for the area.
It is desired that mapping of natural features, such as streams, and other influences on development can
be performed during the plan preparation and may be shared between interested parties to reduce
duplication of effort and preparation of costly application materials. The same process of public
involvement and opportunities for participation, but at a less intensive level, must be followed for
specialized plans as for a community-wide growth policy. As with a community-wide growth policy, the
opportunity for participation does not compel participation, nor does someone's choice to not
participate inhibit the eventual adoption of an otherwise acceptable plan.
In the case of any real or perceived conflict between the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan and a
neighborhood or subarea plan, the goals and other materials of the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan
shall govern.
A neighborhood or subarea plan must contain the following elements:
A map showing the reasonably simple boundaries of the specific plan, with an explanation as to
why those boundaries are appropriate. Maps should terminate at easily identifiable boundaries if
possible;
A description of specific goals to be achieved by the neighborhood or subarea plan, if goals
specific to the area are developed;
An inventory of existing conditions;
A transportation network, including non-automotive elements, that conforms with adopted
facility plans, reinforces the goals and objectives of the 2020 plan, and connects the major
features of the area such as parks, commercial areas,and concentrations of housing;
Locations of parks of adequate area to represent at least sixty percent of expected parklands to
be dedicated through development in the area. The parks shall be of a size and configuration
which supports organized recreational activities such as soccer or baseball, as well as passive
recreation; and
Location of various land uses including commercial, public, school locations if known, and
residential activities.
After the preparation of the draft neighborhood or subarea plan, the Planning Board must conduct one
or more public hearings on the proposal. The Planning Board will then forward the proposed plan to
the City Commission for review. The City Commission must also hold one or more public hearings,
and if it believes the plan to be consistent with the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan, may adopt the plan
by resolution. If sufficient flaws with the plan are found, the City Commission may return it to the
Planning Board for further work and review.

2.1 EXISTING LAND USES, GROWTH POLICY DESIGNATIONS, AND ZONING
CLASSIFICATIONS
2.1.1 Existing Land Uses
Study Area. The existing land uses within the study area are primarily Single Household Residential
(please refer to Figure 2). The overall categories, however, also include Vacant land, Multiple
Household dwelling units, and Light Manufacturing. Single Household Residential is defined as a
building used for residential occupancy by one household. This category includes multiple residences
that share a common wall, as long as only one dwelling unit lies upon a single lot, such as townhomes.
Duplex/Triplex Household Residential is defined as a building, or a portion of a building, used for
occupancy by two or three households living independently of each other, with the units completely
separated by a common wall, floor, and/or ceiling and reside on one lot. This definition includes
apartments and condos. Multiple Household Residential is defined as a building, or portion thereof,
used for occupancy by four or more households living independently of each other, with the units
completely separated by a common wall, floor, and/or ceiling. Again, this definition includes
apartments and condominiums. Mixed Use is a combination of two or more categories. Light
Manufacturing is defined as fabrication of and/or assembly of goods from previously prepared
materials, to include storage, and mini warehousing. Vacant is defined as land that is currently
unoccupied; no buildings. Note that there is an existing Northwestern Energy substation located in the
middle of the study area along South Church Avenue. Northwestern Energy has received preliminary
approval for a conditional use permit from the Gallatin County Commission to expand the substation.

limited instances the stronLr 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.
The area to the west of the Ice Pond Road terminus is designated as Business Park. This classification
provides for areas typified by office uses and technology-oriented light industrial uses, although retail,
services, or industrial uses may also be included in an accessory or local service role.
Adjacent Neighborhoods. The adjacent neighborhoods to the west and north are designated
Residential in the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. To the east, areas with residential development are
designated Residential and Burke Park/Peet's Hill is designated as Parks, Open Space and Recreational
Lands. To the south, adjacent properties are designated as Parks, Open Space and Recreational Lands
(Valley View Golf Club) and Suburban Residential. Please refer to Figure 3.
2.1.3 Zoning Classifications
Stud. The study area has a mix of City and County zoning designations (please refer to Figure 4).
The southern part of the study area is primarily zoned County R-S (Residential Suburban Country
Estates District). This district is comparable to the City designation of R-S (Residential Suburban).
Both districts have an average lot size of one acre unless approved through the planned unit
development (PUD) process. There is an area of R-2 (Residential Two-Household, Medium Density)
directly north of the existing City limits line. This area bisects the County R-S zone and the City R-S
zone. North of the Ice Pond Road homes there is another area of R-2. Finally, there is a small section
of R-4 (Residential,High Density) in the northern-most part of the study area.
Adjacent Neighborhoods. The adjacent neighborhood to the west has City zoning designations of R-
1 (Residential Single-Household, Low Density), R-2, R-3 (Residential, Medium Density), and R-4. The
adjacent neighborhood to the north has a City zoning designation of R-2. The properties to the east
have City zoning designations of R-S, R-1 and R-4. There is also some land with a County zoning
designation of R-S to the east of the study area. Finally, the land to the south has a County zoning
designation of R-S. Please refer to Figure 4.
2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY
The Bozeman/Creek Neighborhood Plan study area contains a variety of critical lands and
environmentally sensitive features. Any development proposals in this area would likely require the
preparation and submittal of detailed environmental impact information and analysis including the
delineation of 100-year floodplain and wetlands, depth to groundwater monitoring data, soils analysis,
topographical information, etc. Development applications would also likely have to contain proposals
to mitigate impacts on critical lands and environmentally sensitive features. A general description of the
critical lands and environmentally sensitive features in this area follows.
2.2.1 Floodplain
There is a fairly extensive floodplain associated with Bozeman/Sourdough Creek through the study area
(please refer to Figure 5). The City's land development regulations currently require that the
watercourse setback be extended to the edge of any delineated 100-year floodplain for all newly created
lots and/or new site development. The presence of floodplain will make approximately 33 acres of the
study area largely undevelopable if developed in the City.
Page 2-4
Inventory and Analysis Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
refer to Figure 5). The City's land development regulations currently require at least a 75-foot
watercourse setback on both sides of the creek for all newly created lots and/or new site development.
The Bozeman/Sourdough Creek corridor provides a variety of benefits including flood control, urban
stormwater conveyance, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and aesthetic values. The required 75-foot
watercourse setback would make approximately 6 additional acres of land,which he beyond the 100-year
floodplain,largely undevelopable if developed in the City.
While the required 75-foot watercourse setback may not be developable, it would be possible to use this
land to satisfy the open space requirement for a planned unit development. It may also be possible to
receive parkland dedication credit for the provision of a constructed trail and/or open space. Finally,
the City's land development regulations allow the City Commission to waive parkland dedication
requirements if a "preliminary plat provides long-term protection of critical wildlife habitat; cultural,
historical, or natural resources; agricultural interests; or aesthetic values; and the area of the land
proposed to be subdivided, by virtue of providing long-term protection provided herein, is reduced by
an amount equal to or exceeding the area of the dedication otherwise required."
2.2.3 Wetlands
There are some wetlands within the study area that are associated with the Bozeman/Sourdough Creek
corridor (please refer to Figure 6). The City's land development regulations require that the watercourse
setback include any adjacent wetlands and that the buffer width shall be extended by the width of the
wetland. This requirement would apply to all newly created lots and/or new site development. Because
the wetlands are largely co-located with delineated 100-year floodplain and/or the 75-foot watercourse
setback, the presence of wetlands would likely not result in any additional land being designated as
undevelopable above and beyond the land already rendered undevelopable by the presence of floodplain
and/or watercourse setback.

Severe— Severe limitations indicate that the soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or
so difficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and
possibly increased maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be required where the
soil limitations are severe.
Straw Loam, 0 to 4 percent slopes. For building/site development, limitations for shallow
excavations are slight. Limitations for dwellings with basements, dwellings without basements, and
small commercial buildings are moderate due to shrink-swell factors. Street and road limitations are
moderate due to shrink-swell, low strength, and frost action factors. Finally, limitations for landscaping
and lawns are slight.
Bandy-Riverwash-Bonebasin Complex, 0 to 2 percent slopes. For building/site development,
limitations for shallow excavations are severe with cut banks, caving, and wetness. Limitations for
dwellings with basements, dwellings without basements, and small commercial buildings are severe due
to flooding and wetness. Street and road limitations are severe due to flooding, wetness, and frost
action. Finally,limitations for landscaping and lawns are severe due to wetness.
Sudworth Silty Clay Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. For building/site development, limitations for
shallow excavations are severe due to cut banks and caving. Limitations for dwellings without
basements are slight. Limitations for dwellings with basements are moderate due to wetness.
Limitations for small commercial buildings are slight. Limitations for street and roads are moderate due
to frost action. Finally,limitations for landscaping and lawns are moderate due to large stones.
Enbar-Nythar Loams, 0 to 4 percent slopes. For building/site development, limitations for shallow
excavations are severe due to wetness. Limitations for dwellings without basements, dwellings with
basements, and small commercial buildings are severe due to flooding and wetness. Limitations for
streets and roads are severe due to wetness and frost action. Finally, limitations for lawns and
landscaping are severe due to wetness.
Reedwest-Cabba-Bower Complex, 15 to 45 percent slopes. For building/site development,
limitations for shallow excavations are severe due to slope. Limitations for dwellings without
basements, dwellings with basements, and small commercial buildings are severe due to slope.
Limitations for streets and roads are severe due to slope. Finally, limitations for lawns and landscaping
are severe due to slope.
Meagher-Shawmut-Bowery Complex, 15 to 45 percent slopes. For building/site development,
limitations for shallow excavations are severe due to slope. Limitations for dwellings without
basements, dwellings with basements, and small commercial buildings are severe due to slope.
Limitations for streets and roads are severe due to slope. Finally, limitations for lawns and landscaping
are severe due to slope.
2.2.6 Topography and Slope
There is some slope in the study area. The sloping areas are largely confined to the southeast corner of
the study area; just west of South Church Avenue and north of Kagy Boulevard (please refer to Figure
9). The City's land development regulations currently state that "slopes of 25 percent or greater shall be
presumed unbuildable unless otherwise provided by the developer." This would apply to developments
in the City.
Page 2-8
Inventory and Analysis Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
Based on interviews with area residents, the study area represents quality wildlife habitat within an
urbanizing area. Residents report sightings of deer, moose, bear, beaver, and fox, as well as other more
common urban wildlife such as ducks,raccoons, and birds.
2.3 COMMUNITY IMPACTS
2.3.1 Water Distribution
Municipal Water. With the exception of South Church Avenue, the majority of surrounding streets
have access to City water. Please refer to Figure 10 for the location and sizing of existing water mains.
The stub for the future extension of East Lincoln Street was installed at the time the South Rouse
Avenue water main was installed. In addition, a 14-inch diameter water main was installed in 1983 that
crosses the study area, within a water main easement that ranges in width from 30 to 36 feet, on the
property currently used by Martel Construction.
The City's Water Facility Plan indicates that there is adequate pressure in the study area. However,
water main extensions may be required to supply any infill development with access to City water. The
sizing and location of water main extensions will depend largely on proposed development, and will be
determined through the development review process. Future main extensions will be subject to capacity
evaluation.
The cost of water main extensions averages $30 per linear foot for an 8-inch diameter main. The cost of
water services averages $15 per linear foot for a 4-inch diameter service.
Wells. Some of the property within the study area is currently within unincorporated Gallatin County
and utilizes wells for potable water. If this property was to be further developed, annexation to the City
and connection to the municipal water system would likely be necessary. Ultimately, it would be
desirable to have all residential and commercial structures in the study area connected to municipal
water supplies.
2.3.2 Sewage Collection and Disposal
Municipal Sewer. This area is part of what is designated as Drainage Zone 5 in the City's 1998
Wastewater Facility Plan. The trunk sewer main that serves this drainage zone generally follows the
Rouse Avenue alignment. This trunk main has several areas that are at or over capacity according to the
computer model that was completed for the facility plan. During the Fall of 2003 and the Spring of
2004, the City reconstructed and upsized the sewer main from just north of Griffin Drive to the
manhole just north of Olive Street.
The area between Olive Street and Cleveland Street is currently served by an 8-inch diameter main. The
computer model shows that one stretch of this main is over capacity (102 percent) and another is very
near capacity (92 percent). The percentages represent the amount the existing flow constitutes when
compared to the main flowing completely full. The City typically does not like mains to be completely
full. In fact, the City has established a policy requiring that new mains be designed to flow no more
than 75 percent full. This provides for a safety factor to ensure that backups do not occur during
periods of high infiltration and inflow. There are several other sections of sewer main, between Olive
Street and Cleveland Street,which are currently near or exceed the 75 percent full standard.
This section of sewer main (between Olive Street and Cleveland Street) would need to be replaced to
accommodate any significant additional infill development in the study area. The facility plan calls for it

If the Health Department issues a septic permit, they require that the following minimum separation
distances be maintained:

`No well of its!Zone of influence may be located zvitbin any mixing!Zone of an existing orproposed absorption/dispersal yrtem.
°This requirement may be waived if the properly ozvnersl autbozztied agent submits evidence that the average yeary hi b)ater mark is 50 feet from
the septic and 100 feetfrom the absorption ystem,and the absorption ystem mill be 4 feet above the 100yearflood elevation.
`This distance shall be measured horitiontally to the averageyearly highzvater mark.
zIf a variance is sought from this requirement, wrillen permission must be obtained from the adjoining landon ner(s). The 10 foot setback is
recommended f nm an easement line and/or right-of-way line (no yslem component may be located zvitbin an easement or right of-way zvitbout the
holder's written permission).
SThe distance separating high ground water, bedrock, or limiting layer from the aGso ption ystem shall be measured vertically from the bottom of the
absorption ystem trench or bed to the upper horitiontal boundary of the high ground zvaler, bedrock,or limiting layer.
'For the protection ofground water,Environmental Health Services may increase this separation distance for soils having excessipej fast percolation
rates(less than 5 minutes/inch).
In addition to the setbacks listed above, the Health Department also requires soil test pits (to catalogue
the soils and determine depth to any limiting layer such as groundwater), percolation tests and non-
degradation information. They also look at factors such as number of bedrooms (which relates to the
size of the system), slope of the property,well placement, floodplain delineations,etc.
The Health Department has septic permits for 21 systems within the study area. However, there are
likely more systems as the Department did not start keeping records until 1966.
2.3.3 Stormwater
There is existing stormsewer in the adjacent neighborhood to the west. However, any development
located in the study area would likely not tie into the stormsewer system and would therefore not impact
the existing stormsewer system. Instead, any development in the study area would like rely on on-site
detention or retention for stormwater management. Limited discharge to Bozeman Creek would likely
be allowed if properly permitted.
2.3.4 Transportation
The transportation facilities that would be most impacted by a change in land use in the study area
include South Church Avenue/Sourdough Road (South Church Avenue turns into Sourdough Road in
Page 2-12
Inventory and Analysis Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
South Church Avenue/Sourdough Road. In the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan 2001
Update, South Church Avenue/Sourdough Road is designated as an existing collector. In 1998, 2,200
to 2,900 vehicles traveled this corridor between East Main Street and Kagy Boulevard on a daily basis.
These numbers are expected to increase to 2,500 to 3,000 vehicles per day by 2010 and 3,300 to 3,900
vehicles per day by 2020. A pavement survey rated the pavement as "poor" adjacent to the study area.
The "poor" rating was assigned to facilities that showed heavy cracking, potholes, or rutting. The
intersection of Sourdough Road and Kagy Boulevard is expected to function at a LOS of"F"by 2020.
The Transportation Plan's list of major recommended improvements includes upgrading South Church
Avenue to meet urban collector standards. The cost of upgrading South Church Avenue to a two-lane
urban collector is estimated at $5,742,000. The Transportation Plan identifies the Surface.
Transportation Program — Urban (STPU), the Community Transportation Enhancement Program
(CTEP), and the City as possible funding sources. This project is currently not planned for design or
construction in the CIP.
The Transportation Plan also lists several recommended transportation system management (TSM)
improvements. These recommendations include improving the sight distances at the intersection of
Sourdough Road and Kagy Boulevard by removing vegetation, and intersection modifications and/or
traffic control installations at the same intersection.
South Willson Avenue. South Willson Avenue is designated as an existing Minor Arterial in the
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan 2001 Update. In 1998, 7,400 to 12,000 vehicles traveled
this corridor between West Main Street and Kagy Boulevard on a daily basis. These numbers are
expected to decrease to 6,200 to 11,500 vehicles per day by 2010 and then increase to 8,100 to 13,700
vehicles per day by 2020.
A pavement study rated the pavement as "good" between Story Street and Cleveland Street and between
Grant Street and Kagy Boulevard, as "medium" between Main Street and Babcock Street and between
Cleveland Street and Grant Street, and as "poor" between Babcock Street and Koch Street. New streets
with little sign of age were rated as "good" and streets that had some cracking or other signs of aging,
but still provided a good driving surface,were given a "medium" rating.
Between Main Street and Babcock Street northbound traffic moves at a speed of less than 15 MPH,
while southbound traffic moves at a speed of 15 to 25 MPH. Between Olive Street and College Street
northbound traffic moves at a speed of 15 to 25 MPH while southbound traffic moves at a speed of 25
to 35 MPH. Finally, between College Street and Kagy Boulevard northbound traffic travels at a speed
of 25 to 35 MPH while southbound traffic moves at a speed of 15 to 25 MPH. Travel speed is defined
as the speed at which a vehicle travels between two points, and includes any delays that occur.
The running speed on South Willson Avenue is 25 to 35 MPH. Running speed is defined as the actual
vehicle speed while the vehicle is in motion. It does not include delay. Running speed is the travel
speed minus any vehicle delay.
Along South Willson Avenue, the intersections with Babcock Street, Olive Street, and Garfield Street are
identified as high accident locations. The signalized intersection of Babcock Street and South Willson
Avenue has a LOS of B in the morning and C in the evening. The signalized intersection of South
Willson Avenue and Kagy Boulevard has a LOS of C. By 2020, the intersection of South Willson
Avenue and College Street is expected to have a LOS of "F" and the intersection of South Willson

new streets are required to serve development, the streets shall be arranged as shown on Alternative 3 —
Medium Density (see Figure 16).
2.3.5 Electric Transmission Infrastructure
Northwestern Energy has a 50 KV transmission line that runs along the rear of the lots along South
Rouse in the study area, turning to the east at the Lincoln Street right-of-way (see Figure 12). This
transmission line terminates at a NorthWestern Energy substation located on South Church Avenue.
From the substation, the transmission line continues up Peet's Hill/Burke Park to the hospital.
The NorthWestern Energy substation is located in the County and has received a conditional use permit
from the County to expand the substation. As part of this expansion project, NorthWestern Energy has
agreed to relocate a transmission line alignment across property owned by McRay and Delone Evans
and to abandon the related easement. This transmission line alignment will be relocated to the vicinity
of the Lincoln Street right-of-way.
2.3.6 Parks, Trails, Recreation, and Open Space
Parks. There are several parks in close proximity to the study area (see Figure 13). Christie Fields is
located to the west of the study site. It is 6.5 acres in size and is categorized as a "specialty park" as it
features baseball diamonds. Burke Park is located east of the study area. It is 40 acres in size and is
considered a "community park." Burke Park features a trail system and urban open space. Finally,
Hausser Park is located south of the study area. It is a 1.8 acre"neighborhood park" that features urban
open space. Any residential subdivision or condominium development proposed within the study area
would require the provision of additional park land to meet the needs of residents of the new
development.
Trails. There are several trails in close proximity to the study area (see Figure 13). The Gallagator
Trails lies to the west of the study area and is adjacent to the study area at the north end. There is also
an extensive trail system in Burke Park. The Trail Map in the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan identifies
the Bozeman Creek corridor through the study area as a desirable location for a future trail with
connections to Burke Park and the Gallagator Trail. Within the study area, the dedication of land for
trails or the provision of trail easements should be sought to establish this important trail corridor and
its connection to other nearby trail systems.
In their plan for the Burke Park Trail System, the Bozeman Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
indicates a desire to obtain at least three trail connections through the study area. These trails would
connect Burke Park to the Gallagator Trial at the north end of the study area, to Christie Fields Park in
the middle of the study area,and to the residential areas further to the south.
Recreation. The Gallagator Trail and the trail systems in Burke Park provide the greatest recreational
opportunity in the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan area. In addition, Bozeman Creek itself
provides an important resource for recreational fishing access. Although the fishery is not well known
or heavily used, it is a great place for young anglers to learn the craft. The Montana Stream Access Law
allows people to evade in the stream between ordinary high water marks.
Open Space. The study site currently contains a significant amount of open space. In addition to the
riparian corridor, the west side of Bozeman Creek is also largely undeveloped. All of the land use
alternatives considered for this plan would have maintained the riparian corridor (approximately 40

that SHPO has reviewed the proposed plat or plan, 2) lists any SHPO recommendations, 3)
outlines any plans for inventory, study, and/or preservation, and 4) describes any mitigation
planned to overcome any adverse impacts.
4. Information on historical sites shall be prepared by a qualified professional, including persons
with a professional or educational background in history, architectural history, archeology, art
history,historic preservation,anthropology and cultural resource management.
2.3.9 Schools
There are no schools in the vicinity of the study area. The Bozeman School District #7 has an open
enrollment policy, and is statutorily required to educate any and all school-aged children in the district.

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 lover
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.
For the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan, three different density classifications were used for
residential infill. Residential — Density 1 would result in approximately 4 dwelling units per acre,
Residential — Density 2 would result in approximately 6 dwelling units per acre, and Residential —
Density 3 would result in approximately 8 dwelling units per acre. This density is less than that
contemplated by the Bozeman 2020 Community Plan. The 2020 Plan recommends minimum
residential densities within the City from 6 to 18 units per acre. The residential densities considered for
the study area were lower because the area is subject to a wide variety of development constraints,
including significant critical lands, access, and infrastructure issues.
Business Park. This classification provides for areas typified by office uses and technology-oriented
light industrial uses, although retail, services, or industrial uses may also be included in an accessory or
local service role.
Community Center. This classification describes areas used for not-for-profit cultural, educational,
recreational, religious, or social activities which are open to the public or a designated part of the public,
usually owned and operated by a public or nonprofit group or agency. Examples of community centers
are schools, churches, Boys and Girls Clubs, and similar uses. Community center does not include
fraternities,lodges, or similar uses.
Industrial/Commercial. Commercial activities represent the basic employment and services necessary
for a vibrant community. A broad range of functions including retail, education, professional and
personal services, offices,residences, and general service activities typify this designation. The density of
development is expected to be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman and
should include multi-story buildings. It is considered desirable to have residences on upper floors in
some circumstances.
Industrial provides areas for uses which support an urban environment such as manufacturing,
warehousing, and utility hubs. Although use in these areas can be intensive, these areas are part of the
larger community and should meet standards for landscaping and other site design issues and be
integrated with the larger community.
Park. Parks include all publicly owned park lands.
Open Space. Private or public land or water area devoid of buildings and other physical structures
except where accessory to the provision of recreation, including but not limited to benches, picnic tables
and interpretive signage.

3. Total: 42.24 + 23.32 = 65.56
Note: No right-of-way (ROW) subtracted because no
new ROW needed for this infill development.
Total dwelling units at full build 123 Calculation:
out 57 existing dwelling units + 65.56 new dwelling units =
122.56
Additional population at full 148 Calculation:
build out 65.56 new dwelling units multiplied by 2.26 people per
household = 148.17
Total population at full build out 277 Calculation:
128.82 existing population + 148.17 additional
population = 276.99
Net dwelling unit density at full 5.14 Calculation:
build out 122.56 total dwelling units divided by 23.85 (net acres
available for residential development) = 5.14
4.1.2 Costs
The most significant cost associated with Alternative 1 would be purchasing the development rights for
the land to be protected and purchasing easements on land not protected. This amount would be based
on appraised value so the actual cost is unknown at this time. The land proposed for limited infill
development in Alternative 1 already has access to City water and sewer mains and streets. Therefore,
significant water, sewer, and street improvements would likely not be needed. Trail development and
trail parking lot development would result in some costs.
4.1.3 Benefits
Alternative 1 would eliminate expenditures by a developer to eliminate downstream sewer bottlenecks.
This would be a savings of $590,000. This alternative would also eliminate expenditures to provide
water, sewer, and street infrastructure in protected areas. These costs are as follows:
$157/linear foot street;
$35/linear foot 8-inch sewer main;
$30/linear foot 8-inch water main;
$20/4-inch sewer service; and
$15/3/4-inch water service.
With Alternative 1, connecting streets between South Rouse and South Church may not be needed,
depending upon development proposal inside and outside of the study area. If connecting streets were
determined to be needed, the installation costs would be approximately $157 per linear foot. Bridges
would also be needed which would cost approximately $129,000 for a pre-cast concrete bridge or
$153,000 for a steel bridge. However, Gallatin County will be paying to replace the bridge on Ice Pond
Road.

Additional population at full 212 Calculation:
build out 93.60 new dwelling units multiplied by 2.26 people per
household = 211.54
Total population at full build out 340 Calculation:
128.82 existing population + 211.54 additional
population = 340.36
Net dwelling unit density at full 4.20 Calculation:
build out 150.60 total dwelling units divided by 35.89 (net acres
available for residential development) = 4.20
4.2.2 Costs
If a developer did not want to wait for the City to pay for improvements to eliminate downstream sewer
bottlenecks, the developer would have to cover these costs. This would cost approximately $590,000.
Approximate costs to provide water, sewer, and street infrastructure in new development are as follows:
$157/linear foot street;
$35/linear foot 8-inch sewer main;
$30/linear foot 8-inch water main;
$20/4-inch sewer service; and
$15/3/4-inch water service.
The north-south portion of any new sewer constructed west of Bozeman Creek may need to be
constructed as a 21-inch main. The City's sewer plan shows a future 21-inch trunk main extending
through the study area to service urbanizing areas south of Kagy Boulevard. The cost per linear foot of
a 21-inch main is $100; however the developer would likely be eligible for paybacks and/or impact fee
credits for oversizing.
This alternative would likely require the installation of at least one connecting street between South
Rouse and South Church. The installation of new streets costs approximately $157 per linear foot.
Bridges would also be needed which would cost approximately $129,000 for a pre-cast concrete bridge
or $153,000 for a steel bridge. However, Gallatin County will be paying to replace the bridge on Ice
Pond Road.

If a developer did not want to wait for the City to pay for improvements to eliminate downstream sewer
bottlenecks, the developer would have to cover these costs. This would cost approximately $590,000.
Approximate costs to provide water, sewer, and street infrastructure in new development are as follows:

a 21-inch main is $100; however the developer would likely be eligible for paybacks and/or impact fee
credits for oversizing.
This alternative would likely require the installation of at least two connecting streets between South
Rouse and South Church. The installation of new streets costs approximately $157 per linear foot.

Plan Implementation Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
5.1.3 Open Space
The Preferred Alternative features a significant amount of open space. If the development rights in the
targeted open space protection areas are successfully secured, provisions for the maintenance and
management of the open space area will need to be made.
5.1.4 Transportation
The Preferred Alternative will not result in a large increase in vehicle traffic. However, South Church
Avenue/Sourdough Road should be improved to an urban collector standard as soon as funding as
available to provide a safe and functional roadway to serve the whole area. The Preferred Alternative
does not require the installation of any connecting streets between South Rouse Avenue and South
Church Avenue. However, the plan depicts the possibility that one or more connectors may be needed
in the future based on development in and around the study area. Streets that connect South Rouse
Avenue to South Church Avenue, at Ice Pond Road, East Garfield Street and East Lincoln Street, should
only be installed after South Church Avenue has been improved to a collector standard established in the
Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan 2001 Update, at a minimum in the vicinity of the intersections
themselves.
5.1.5 Water and Sewer Infrastructure
There is a serious sewer capacity situation in the study area. The Preferred Alternative provides an
alternative to development that would require significant and costly upgrades in the sewer system. A
long-term goal of connecting all homes and businesses in the study area to municipal water and sewer
systems should be pursued.
5.2 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
The goals and objectives of the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan cover a wide range of issues.
Often an implementation policy taken to advance one goal may also apply to others. In order to
facilitate comparison and review of the policies, all of the implementation policies have been gathered
into this chapter. They are organized by number and by topic. In Chapter 3 the implementation
policies that will carry out each goal and objective have been identified and are listed and referenced by
the numbers shown below.
5.2.1 Managing Development
1. Encourage Gallatin County to adopt the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan as part of its
Bozeman Area Neighborhood Plan.
2. Encourage Gallatin County to adopt provisions in their Bozeman Area Zoning District Zoning
Ordinance that would implement the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan.
3. The City of Bozeman Planning Board and the City Commission will recognize the Preferred
Alternative when evaluating the neighborhood compatibility of development proposals per the
growth policy (Bozeman 2020 Community Plan).
4. Zoning
a. City of Bozeman and Gallatin County will strictly enforce current zoning designations
with the study area.
Page 5-2
Plan Implementation Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan
5.2.3 Generating Funding
12. Special Improvement Districts (SIDs)
a. City of Bozeman should consider a special improvement district in a to-be-determined
Bozeman Creek neighborhood area to help fund public improvements and access to
conservation area.
13. Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Association (BCNA) should initiate a community-wide capital
campaign to raise contributions to assist with land and/or development rights acquisition, public
access infrastructure development, and natural resource protection.
14. BCNA should investigate and pursue possible outside funding sources/fund matching programs
such as:
a. Gallatin County Open Space Grants Program
b. Gallatin County Park Development Disbursement Funds
C. Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund
d. Mitigation Funds—Northwestern Energy, MT Department of Transportation, etc.
e. Wetland and Riparian Restoration Funds
f. Urban renewal or preservation funds (ref. City Grants Coordinator)
g. Montana Fish,Wildlife, and Parks
5.2.4 Building Public Awareness and Support
15. BCNA should organize and facilitate the cleanup of the Bozeman Creek riparian corridor and
coordinate with Bozeman Cleanup Day.
16. BCNA and the City Neighborhood Coordinator should work with local media sources to
generate positive publicity about the Bozeman Creek Neighborhood Plan.
5.2.5 Ongoing Land Resource Conservation
17. Work with the Gallatin County Planning Department and the Environmental Health
Department to encourage connection to municipal water and wastewater systems.
18. Work with the Local Water Quality District to educate residents within and adjacent to the study
area about the proper use, storage, and disposal of household hazardous wastes and other home
and yard chemicals.
19. Educate residents within and adjacent to the study area regarding City and County animal
control ordinances and enforce as required. (BCNA and City Neighborhood Coordinator)
20. Work with Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks to enhance the fisheries and wildlife habitat within
the study area.
21. In order to maintain the natural drainage system with the study area, the City of Bozeman
should restrict the placement of fill, soil removal, vegetation removal, streambed disturbance,
etc.
22. Pursue possible outside funding sources/fund matching programs such as:
a. Mitigation Funds —Northwestern Energy,MT Department of Transportation, etc.
b. Wetland and Riparian Restoration
