APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The subject area of the property to be subdivided is zoned
“R-1” (Residential Single-household Low Density District). The intent of the R-1 residential
single-household low density district is to provide for primarily 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 48.21 acre lot restricted development subject to further subdivision review is zoned R-1, R-3 and R-4.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The property is designated as “Residential” in the
Bozeman Community Plan. This 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. A higher density may be considered in some locations and circumstances. A variety
of housing types can be blended to achieve the desired density. Large areas of single type
housing are 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 category. All residential housing should be arranged
with consideration of compatibility with adjacent development, natural constraints such as
watercourses or steep slopes, and in a fashion which advances the overall goals of the Bozeman growth policy. The residential designation is intended to provide the primary locations for
additional housing within the planning area.
Respectfully,
Dexter Wester
