Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608
1) The effect on agriculture
The subject property is designated as a residential area according to the City of Bozeman
Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential development, and has previously undergone
subdivision review and approval, and has begun to be developed. Therefore, this subsequent
subdivision will not have adverse effects on agriculture.
106
P-14009, Staff Report for THE MEADOWS MINOR SUBDIVISION Page 12 of 21
2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities
No agricultural water user facilities were identified on the subject property. As noted under
criteria one above the property is designated as a residential area according to the City of
Bozeman Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential development, has previously
undergone subdivision review and approval, and has begun to be developed. Therefore, this
subsequent subdivision will not have adverse effects on agricultural water user facilities.
3) The effect on Local services
Water/Sewer – Municipal water and sewer mains exist in the adjacent alley right-of-ways. No
additional water and sewer mains are required to service the proposed subdivision. Each lot will
connect to the newly constructed water and sewer mains designed to the appropriate design
standard and shall be located in the standard location as approved by the water/sewer
superintendent. The proposed density is identical to that previously approved for the site
therefore; little if any additional impacts on local services will be caused by this subdivision.
Streets – The DRC has determined that the adjacent streets have capacity to accommodate this
development. Following new water and service line installations to accommodate the new
lots/development, all street improvements will be constructed to acceptable City standards with
curb, gutter, pavement, boulevard sidewalks and storm water facilities.
Police/Fire – The property is located within the City’s Police and Fire emergency response area.
The subdivider must obtain addresses for the new lots from the City Engineer’s Office prior to
filing the final plat to facilitate emergency response to the site.
Stormwater - The standard requirement for a detailed review of the final grading and drainage
plan, and approval by the City Engineer, will be required as part of the infrastructure plan and
specification review process prior to final plat approval. Specific locations for storm water areas
are show on the face of the plat.
Parklands – A waiver was requested and granted for Parks and Recreation Facilities Supplement
information as the site is within an existing subdivision and zoned to allow up to five (5) units.
The applicant proposed utilizing previously dedicated parkland credits from the original Valley
West Subdivision to meet Section 38.27, BMC. No additional density is proposed.
4) The effect on the Natural environment
No significant physical or topographical features have been identified, (e.g., outcroppings,
geological formations, steep slopes), on the subject property. Provisions will be made to address
the control of noxious weeds and maintenance of the property and will be further addressed by
inclusion in the existing protective covenants and compliance with the recommended conditions
of approval.
5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat
The further subdivision of the existing lot will have minimal impacts on wildlife and wildlife
habitat. The impacts to the more important habitat areas were addressed and mitigated during

the review of the original subdivision and are preserved as open space and/or parklands. Further,
the project is in a developing area identified for development.
6) The effect on Public health and safety
The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare. The subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC which
has determined that it is in general compliance with the title. Any other conditions deemed
necessary to ensure compliance have been noted throughout this staff report. In addition, all
subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont. Code Ann. and
as a result, the Department of Community Development has reviewed this application against the
listed criteria and further provides the following summary for submittal materials and

P-14009, Staff Report for THE MEADOWS MINOR SUBDIVISION Page 18 of 21
APPENDIX B – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned “R-3” (Residential Medium Density District). The intent of the R-
3 residential medium density district is to provide for the development of one- to five-household
residential structures near service facilities within the city. It should provide for a variety of
housing types to serve the varied needs of households of different size, age and character, while
reducing the adverse effect of nonresidential uses.
Pursuant to Section 38.08.080, BMC, minimum net density in the R-3 District is five dwellings
per net acre. A minimum is required to support efficiency in use of land and provision of
municipal services, and to advance the purposes and goals of this chapter and the adopted growth
policy. The existing lot (16,774 square feet) was intended to accommodate five (5) dwelling
units in condominium ownership. The proposed subdivision will create five (5) residential
single-household lots in townhome ownership with a net density of 12.9 units per acre.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Residential” in the Bozeman Community Plan. The Plan
indicates that “This category designates places where the primary activity is urban density
dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are also acceptable such as parks, low
intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches, and schools. High density residential
areas should be established in close proximity to commercial centers to facilitate the provision of
services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile.
Implementation of this category by residential zoning should provide for and coordinate
intensive residential uses in proximity to commercial centers. The residential designation
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 between 6 and 32 dwellings per
net acre.
