This Pre-Application (PA) is a proposed amended plat is to remove the Non-Residential Use restriction on Lots 1 & 3 in
Block 4. This restriction was not imposed by the City of Bozeman at time of Final Plat, but was part of the intended use by
the developer for the subdivision at that time. Those uses are no longer relevant or applicable. It is the intent of the
declarant/developer to designate these parcels as residential. This use is congruent with the growth policy designation as
residential, and R/O zoning with intent for multi-household development. Lots 1 and 3 will be developed for multi-unit
residential use.
Recommendation: Waivers granted as noted in this memorandum.
The City of Bozeman Development Review Committee has considered the amended plat pre-application plan review for the
Knolls at Hillcrest to remove the non-residential use restriction on lots 1 & 3 in Block 4 for future multi-unit development and
as a result, offers the following comments for consideration. Reference the full text of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC)
for code citations, particularly Chapter 38, Article 41, Sections 010 and 030-060 as needed.
