City of Hamilton Zoning 2021-01 Staff Report Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Pertaining to Short-Term Rentals

Staff Report Date: January 6, 2021 Public Hearing Dates: Zoning Commission public hearing was on Monday, January 4, 2021. City Council public hearings are on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 and Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Staff Recommendation Approve. Recommended Motion Recommended City Council Motion: Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials, public comment, recommendation of the zoning commission, and all information presented, I hereby move to adopt the findings presented in the staff report for Zoning Request 2021-01 and approve the proposed City of Hamilton Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments. Alternatives 1. Approve with the recommended findings; 2. Approve with modifications to the findings; 3. Deny based on findings of non-compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the applicable law and regulation; or

4. Continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items. Applicant City of Hamilton 223 South 2nd Street Hamilton, MT 59840 Project Summary The proposed text amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Hamilton Municipal Code will list short-term rentals as a permitted use in the following zoning districts – Single-Family Residential (RS), Multiple-Family Residential (RM), Residential High-Density (RH), Transitional Neighborhood Business (B), Local Business (B- 1), Highway Related Business (B-2), and Central Business (CBD). Short-term rentals (a.k.a. vacation rentals) are individual dwelling units or rooms in dwelling units that are rented out to transient guests by or on behalf of the owner for stays of one night or more. As of December 2020, there are approximately 13 short-term rentals in operation in Hamilton City limits – seven in the RS district, two in the RM district, two in the B-1 district, one in the CBD district, and one in the B-2 district. Hamilton’s zoning ordinance does not address or define short-term rentals, which creates confusion as to

whether they are permitted and what standards do and do not apply. The intent of these amendments is to provide a foundation for the permitting and regulation of short-term rentals in the City. Overview of Proposed Amendments The proposed amendments include the following elements. The full text of the proposed amendments is attached to this report.

1. Definitions pertaining to short-term rentals; 2. Requirements for registration with the City; 3. Requirements for providing contact information and notification to neighbors; 4. Assurance of approval from Ravalli County Environmental Health; 5. Allowance for inspection by City planning, building, and fire departments; 6. Process for revocation of short-term rental registration; 7. Restrictions on the number of short-term rentals; and 8. Payment of registration fee. Zoning Commission The Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered these zoning text amendments at its January 4, 2021 meeting. The Zoning Commission passed a motion recommending these zoning text amendments for approval by the Hamilton City Council on a unanimous 5-0 vote. Zone Map Amendment Staff Analysis and Findings of Fact The following is an evaluation of the proposed zoning text amendments under the criteria outlined in 76- 2-304, M.C.A. (zoning criteria). In considering the criteria, the analysis must show that the zoning text amendments accomplish criteria 1-4. Criteria 5-10 must be considered. A favorable decision on the proposed application must find that the application meets all of criteria 1-4 and that the positive outcomes of the amendments outweigh negative outcomes for criteria 5-10.

1. Is the proposed zoning in accordance with the City of Hamilton Growth Policy? The proposed zoning text amendments will permit short-term rentals in the City of Hamilton and provide standards pertaining to their use. Short-term rentals in Hamilton have grown in popularity with the rise of internet-based hosting platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO. The City’s zoning regulations currently do not address short-term rentals. The proposed text amendments advance multiple policies in the City’s growth policy, as noted below.

• Land Use Policy 1-A: Encourage variety, quality, and innovation in land use practice through modern, flexible land development regulations. • Land Use Policy 1-D: Continue to periodically review development standards to determine if they are adequate to meet health and safety concerns and are consistent with desired development patterns.

• Population and Economics Policy 3-H: Promote conferences and events at different venues in the City and coordinate with an assessment of lodging to ensure there are adequate rooms to host events.

• Housing Policy 3-A: Preserve the residential character of downtown neighborhoods and historic homes

• Housing Policy 3-F: Review existing zoning regulations to ensure that districts are consistent

with neighborhood objectives and amend regulations where appropriate. Criterion #1 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments are in accordance with the City of Hamilton Growth Policy as they respond to a relatively new land use in a way that provides for innovation and variety while also promoting public health and safety and neighborhood preservation.

2. Is the proposed zoning designed to secure safety from fire and other dangers? As of December 17, 2020, there are approximately 13 short-term rentals operating in the City of Hamilton. Short-term rentals are not explicitly permitted in Hamilton, nor are they explicitly not allowed; creating uncertainty for City staff and short-term rental operators. The City of Hamilton’s planning, building, and fire departments do not currently have a process by which to inspect short- term rentals to ensure they secure safety from fire and other dangers. The proposed amendments will establish a registration process that allows for the aforementioned City departments to inspect short-term rentals to ensure they meet all City requirements pertaining to safety and fire. Criterion #2 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will secure safety from fire and other dangers as they will allow the City to inspect existing and new short-term rentals to ensure they meet requirements pertaining to safety and fire.

3. Is the proposed zoning designed to promote public health, public safety, and the general welfare? Currently all short-term rentals in Ravalli County are required to complete a public sleeping accommodation plan review application and receive approval from the Ravalli County Environmental Health Department. This ensures conformance with Chapter 37.111 of the Administrative Rules of Montana for public sleeping accommodations. Per communication with Environmental Health staff, as of November 2020, roughly 25% of the short-term rentals in Hamilton had applied and received approval from the Ravalli County Environmental Health Department. The proposed zoning text amendments require certification that the applicant has submitted and received approval of a public sleeping accommodation plan review application. The proposed amendments also include provisions for inspection by City planning, building, and fire officials to ensure all City of Hamilton requirements are met, including those pertaining to public safety. Criterion #3 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendment will promote public health, public safety, and the general welfare as they will provide a process for the City to ensure local and state public health requirements are being met for short-term rentals.

4. Is the proposed zoning designed to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? All short-term rentals in the City will be connected to the City’s water and sewer system either through established connections in existing buildings or through new connections which will be required for new development. As with all development in the City, each short-term rental will be required to have physical access to a street or alley. As short-term rentals provide overnight lodging to transient guests, it is not anticipated that they will impact local schools. Park usage may increase with additional short-term rentals, though with over 200 acres of City parkland, any increase in park use resulting from short-term rentals is not anticipated to overburden City park staff or result in a decreased level of service. In addition, any new development will be required to

pay impact fees for water, sewer, transportation, police, and fire. Criterion #4 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements as each short-term rental will be required to connect to City services. In addition, the anticipated increased demand from short-term rentals is not anticipated to overburden the aforementioned local services.

5. Does the proposed zoning provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air? Hamilton’s zoning ordinance has requirements for minimum lot area and frontage, building height, and setbacks, all of which provide for adequate light and air. Short-term rentals will be held to the same standards as any other new building in the City. Criterion #5 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air through application of Hamilton’s zoning ordinance.

6. How would the proposed zoning effect motorized and non-motorized transportation systems? Impacts to the motorized and nonmotorized transportation system will stem from the increase in vehicle and non-motorized trips from new short-term rentals. The City’s transportation system has sufficient capacity to accommodate increased travel demand from short-term rentals. Any increase in travel from short-term rentals is not anticipated to be large enough to negatively impact the motorized or non-motorized transportation systems. Additionally, the proposed text amendments include limits on the number of short-term rentals that can be registered per building and per individual. This is intended to prevent the over proliferation of short-term rentals and any associated unwanted impacts, including burdening the City’s transportation system. The allowance of short-term rentals may also increase parking demand in Hamilton. The proposed text amendments require that short-term rentals meet all local regulations including the provisions of Chapter 17.100 of the Hamilton Municipal Code (Off-Street Parking and Loading). Short-term rentals will be held to the same standard as “hotels, motels, rooming or boarding houses, clubs and lodges with overnight accommodations” which requires one (1) parking space per unit or room. Criterion #6 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will have minimal effect on the motorized and non-motorized transportation systems as the City’s transportation system has sufficient capacity and each short-term rental will be required to meet Hamilton Municipal Code requirements addressing transportation impacts.

7. Does the proposed zoning promote compatible urban growth? As of December 17th, 2020, there are approximately 13 short-term rentals operating in the City of Hamilton. Several short-term rentals are in residential neighborhoods and blend in with surrounding land uses. Explicitly permitting short-term rentals will provide for greater flexibility in residential land uses and allow for an existing compatible land use to continue. The proposed text amendments also establish a baseline regulatory framework for short-term rentals, which allows the City to monitor the location and number of them. This way, if adverse impacts relating to compatible urban growth begin to surface, it will be easier for the City to institute additional requirements to mitigate those impacts.

Criterion #7 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will promote compatible urban growth as they will allow for greater flexibility in land uses and allow an existing land use to continue in residential and commercial neighborhoods. Additionally, the proposed text amendments put the City in a better position to monitor and address any adverse impacts relating to compatible urban growth.

8. Does the proposed zoning consider the character of the district, and its peculiar suitability for particular uses? The proposed text amendments will allow short-term rentals in commercial and residential zoning districts. As of December 17, 2020, short-term rentals operate in the RS, RM, CBD, B-1, and B-2 zoning districts. Short-term rentals have operated in these zoning districts for the last several years without documented adverse impacts to existing commercial and residential neighborhoods. There currently is no process for monitoring short-term rentals and regulating how many can be located on properties in residential neighborhoods, however. The proposed amendments include limits on the number of short-term rentals that can be registered per site in residential districts in an effort to limit the density of short-term rentals in neighborhoods. Criterion #8 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments consider the character of the districts, and its peculiar suitability for particular uses as they provide a process for permitting and monitoring short-term rentals in residential and commercial neighborhoods.

9. Does the proposed zoning conserve the value of buildings? Short-term rentals allow property owners to generate additional rental income from their properties. The proposed zoning text amendments will formalize and make lawful the process for owning and operating a short-term rental in Hamilton. This will provide certainty for property owners, giving them more confidence to make future investments. In the absence of any regulatory framework in place, City staff have no way of addressing short-term rental impacts. With short-term rental standards in place, the City will be better equipped to address adverse impacts on building values if they arise. Criterion #9 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will conserve the value of buildings by providing a means for property owners to generate income and value from their property. The zoning text amendments will also put the City in a better place to address any impacts that may arise in the future.

10. Does the proposed zoning encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdictional area? Short-term rentals have both benefits and costs. Hamilton has a shortage of hotel rooms available and allowing short-term rentals will increase the number of beds available. At the same time, short-term rentals can take housing off the market, and housing in Hamilton is in short supply. The current absence of short-term rental regulations and standards, and the resulting lack of uncertainty, does nothing to further the benefits or address the costs. To date, short-term rentals have operated throughout Hamilton’s residential and commercial neighborhoods with few, if any, adverse impacts. The proposed zoning text amendments provide a baseline regulatory framework including a simple registration process and limits on the number of short-term rentals that can be operated per site in residential districts. Should short-term rentals proliferate further in Hamilton, there may be a need to enact more stringent requirements for short-term rentals, including where

and how they operate in the City. If this need arises the proposed text amendments will put the City an advantageous position to build-on already in place regulations and processes rather than having to start from square one. Criterion #10 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdictional area by allowing and regulating a land use that has existed in Hamilton for several years without incident and which benefits local property owners. In addition, the proposed amendments provide a means for the City to monitor short-term rentals and address adverse impacts to ensure they are located in appropriate areas in the City.

City of Hamilton Zoning 2021-02 Staff Report Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments for Residential Development Standards

Staff Report Date: January 6, 2021 Public Hearing Dates: Zoning Commission public hearing was on Monday, January 4, 2021. City Council public hearings are on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 and Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Staff recommendation Approve. Recommended Motion Recommended City Council Motion: Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials, public comment, recommendation of the zoning commission, and all information presented, I hereby move to adopt the findings presented in the staff report for Zoning Request 2021-02 and approve the proposed City of Hamilton Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments. Alternatives 1. Approve with the recommended findings; 2. Approve with modifications to the findings; 3. Deny based on findings of non-compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the applicable law and regulation; or

4. Continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items. Applicant City of Hamilton 223 South 2nd Street Hamilton, MT 59840 Project Summary The proposed text amendments to Title 17 (zoning) of the Hamilton Municipal Code will change residential development standards in the following zoning districts, Single-Family Residential (RS), Multiple-Family Residential (RM), Residential High-Density (RH), Transitional Neighborhood Business (B), and Local Business (B-1). The intent of the proposed amendments is to implement the City’s growth policy by expanding opportunities for infill housing. The amendments will allow for incremental increases in residential densities as a means of expanding housing options in Hamilton. The proposed amendments will also better match existing development patterns. For example, the proposed 4,200 square foot minimum lot size for single-family homes matches the lot sizes that were established when Hamilton was originally platted in the late 19th century. The overall goal is to allow for a range of smaller housing units and multi-dwelling unit buildings that are compatible in scale with single-family homes.

Overview of Proposed Amendments An overview of the proposed amendments is presented below, the full text is attached to this report. Amendments to Single-Family Residential District (RS): • Reduced minimum lot area from 7,000 square feet (sf) to 4,200 sf. • Reduce minimum lot frontage from 50-feet to 30-feet. • Reduce front setback from 20 feet to 15 feet. • Increase maximum height for accessory buildings from 18-feet to 25-feet. Amendments to Multiple-Family Residential District (RM): • List four-family dwelling units as permitted (currently only up to duplexes are permitted by right). • Reduced minimum lot area and frontages based on number of units. • Reduce front setback from 20 feet to 15 feet. • Increase maximum height for accessory buildings from 18-feet to 25-feet. Amendments to Residential High-Density District (RH): • Remove maximum density provision of “28 dwelling units per net acre.” • Reduced minimum lot area and frontages based on number of units. • Reduce front setback from 20 feet to 15 feet. • Reduce side setback from ten feet to five feet and from 15-feet to ten feet for corner lots • Increase maximum height for accessory buildings from 18-feet to 25-feet. Amendments to Transitional Neighborhood Business District (B): • Separate out regulations for commercial and residential uses. Commercial remains unchanged; residential is same as for RH district. • Reduce front setback from 25 feet to 15 feet for commercial uses. • Reduce side setback for corner lots from 20-feet to ten feet for commercial uses. • Increase maximum height for accessory buildings from 18-feet to 25-feet. Amendments to Local Busines District (B-1): • List dwellings in excess of five units as permitted. Currently ground-floor residential uses are not permitted in the B-1 district. Zoning Commission The Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered this zoning text amendment at its January 4, 2021 meeting. Amendments City Planner Matthew Rohrbach added an amendment to continue not allowing ground-floor residential uses in the Highway-Related Business District (B-2), which was not made clear in the original proposal. Public Comments During the public hearing, one member of the public spoke in favor of the proposed text amendments, citing that they will help address housing affordability in Hamilton. One member of the public spoke in opposition to the proposed text amendments citing concerns over increased density. Result The Zoning Commission passed a motion recommending these zoning text amendments, as amended, for

approval by the City Council on a unanimous, 5-0, vote. Zone Map Amendment Staff Analysis and Findings of Fact The following is an evaluation of the proposed zoning text amendments under the criteria outlined in 76- 2-304, M.C.A. (zoning criteria). In considering the criteria, the analysis must show that the zoning text amendments accomplish criteria 1-4. Criteria 5-10 must be considered. A favorable decision on the proposed application must find that the application meets all of criteria 1-4 and that the positive outcomes of the amendments outweigh negative outcomes for criteria 5-10.

1. Is the proposed zoning in accordance with the City of Hamilton Growth Policy? The proposed zoning text amendments will allow for residential in-fill and facilitate development of a variety of housing options in the City. The aim of the proposed amendments is to alleviate issues surrounding housing availability and attainability. Hamilton’s Growth Policy the following two trends afflicting the City’s housing market – 1.) the shortage of rental housing (p. Housing-8) and 2.) that new construction is not meeting affordable needs (p. Housing-8). The proposed text amendments advance multiple policies in the City’s growth policy as noted below. No conflicts with the Growth Policy have been identified.

• Housing Goal 1A – Achieve the production of affordable housing on vacant, infill sites to the greatest degree possible. • Housing Goal 1F – Promote the development of workforce housing in or close to town. • Housing Goal 2A – Evaluate land development regulations and update as needed to allow for accessory apartments and higher density mixed used residential development where appropriate. • Housing Goal 2D – Promote pedestrian friendly design elements in new housing developments. • Housing Goal 3A – Preserve the residential character of downtown neighborhoods and historic homes. • Housing Goal 3F – Review existing zoning regulations to ensure that districts are consistent with neighborhood objectives and amend regulations where appropriate. • Land Use Goal 1A – Encourage variety, quality, and innovation in land use practice through modern, flexible land development regulations. • Land Use Goal 1D – Continue to periodically review development standards to determine if they are adequate to meet health and safety concerns and are consistent with desired development patterns. • Land Use Goal 3D – Allow for innovative development that promotes principles of smart growth and resiliency. • Land Use Goal 3E – Promote in-fill development that is served by infrastructure and compatible with existing neighborhoods. • Land Use Goal 3F – Direct development to areas already served by infrastructure. • Land Use Goal 4A – Development projects should reflect the character and scale of nearby properties. • Public Facilities Goal 3B – Encourage development where there is existing infrastructure or where facilities can cost effectively be expanded for new growth. • Planning Area Goal 2B – Encourage new development along existing growth corridors and

to in-fill areas along between the city and areas that are already zoned or subdivided at urban densities in the planning area. Criterion #1 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments are in accordance with the City of Hamilton Growth Policy as they will allow for additional housing options in areas already served by City infrastructure and remove barriers to residential in-fill.

2. Is the proposed zoning designed to secure safety from fire and other dangers? Hamilton’s Municipal Code includes standards pertaining to securing safety from fire and other dangers. These include standards for building materials, setbacks, building heights, water, supply, and property access. All properties in Hamilton are served by City police and fire. The proposed amendments will allow for incrementally higher residential densities. To offset any increased demand on police and fire services all future development will be required to pay police and fire impact fees. Criterion #2 Conclusion: Safety from fire and other dangers will be secured through application of Hamilton’s Municipal Code. This criterion will further be met through payment of impact fees for police and fire services.

3. Is the proposed zoning designed to promote public health, public safety, and the general welfare? The proposed text amendments retain provisions intended to protect public health, safety, and general welfare, including minimum lot sizes, setbacks, and maximum height. Additional standards in Hamilton’s Municipal Code, including those for building and public works, include requirements for water, sewer, and construction which are intended to promote public health, safety and general welfare. The development patterns that would be permitted under the proposed amendments have been in existence in Hamilton for over 70-years without widespread, documented adverse impact to the public. While the proposed text amendments will allow for increased residential densities, not every lot or area of the City will be eligible for these increased densities due to the lack of vacant land and requirements for parking, lot size, frontage, and/or setbacks. Therefore, the potential residential density increases will be dispersed and incremental and are not anticipated to adversely impact public health safety and general welfare. Criterion #3 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will promote public health, public safety, and the general welfare through application of the Hamilton Municipal Code including zoning, public works, and building permit review processes.

4. Is the proposed zoning designed to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? The proposed zoning text amendments will allow for development of additional housing in Hamilton by way of reduced lot size requirements and increases in the number of units allowed on a lot. All new residential development in the City is required to hook into the City’s water and sewer systems and have legal and physical access. To offset the impact on City services, new and development is also required to pay impact fees for water, sewer, and transportation. Furthermore, by increasing infill opportunities the proposed zoning text amendments will allow for more development that is near existing City streets and water and sewer lines. This will result in a more efficient and cost-effective provision of City services as the need to expand new City services will be reduced.

The City of Hamilton has over 200 acres of parkland. Park usage will likely increase as the City grows, regardless of density. Any increase in park usage is not anticipated to overburden City park staff or result in a decreased level of service. The provision of schools will also be provided by existing public-school facilities. Based on available data, Hamilton Public Schools have adequate capacity to accommodate additional demand, as their K-12 enrollment numbers have hovered around 1,500 students over the last five years and their student teacher ratio is at 15:1, which is well below state requirements.12 Building permit review of any new development will provide site specific evaluations of infrastructure needs, with additional improvements potentially being required to resolve deficiencies as part of the review process. Criterion #4 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements as each new development will be required to be served by the aforementioned services and facilities, all of which have adequate capacity to serve the anticipated minimal impact. The City’s review procedures and standards further ensure this criterion is met.

5. Does the proposed zoning provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air? The proposed zoning text amendments will allow for a continuation of development patterns which currently exist in many of Hamilton’s residential neighborhoods, particularly those west of Highway 93. Regulations in Hamilton’s zoning ordinance and building codes pertaining to height, setbacks, parkland dedication, and lot coverage will continue to be enforced. One intent of these requirements is to provide for light and air. Criterion #5 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will provide for adequate light and air through application of Hamilton zoning ordinance and building codes.

6. How would the proposed zoning effect motorized and non-motorized transportation systems? The proposed zoning text amendments will allow slightly higher residential densities in both existing and new neighborhoods. Any new development, regardless of densities, will increase both motorized and non-motorized travel as more people equals more trips. Regardless of this fact, the proposed text amendments are not likely to change the fact that Hamilton is growing, rather they have potential to alter the form of the City’s growth. By allowing incremental density increases Hamilton will enable more compact development patterns. Research has shown that compact development tends to make people drive slightly less, with several variables influencing how much less, including distance to downtown, population density, job accessibility, intersection density, land use mix, and jobs-housing balance.3 Higher density residential development is generally associated with higher degrees of walking and biking as there tend to be more origins and destinations within comfortable biking and walking distance of each other. Though a primary influencing factor of this is the availability of safe non-motorized infrastructure, which is generally a requirement for new development in the City.

While traffic volumes on Highway 93 have steadily increased over the years, when taken as a whole, Hamilton’s motorized transportation system does not have any significant capacity constraints. Criterion #6 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments could potentially benefit the City’s motorized and non-motorized transportation systems by allow development patterns which have been shown to decrease vehicle trips and lead to more biking and walking.

7. Does the proposed zoning promote compatible urban growth? Many of Hamilton’s residential neighborhoods were developed prior to the City having zoning. When Hamilton was originally laid out in the late 19th century, the city was carved into 30-foot by 140-foot, (4,200 square foot) lots, which are considered too small under the current zoning regulations. Additionally, in the years before zoning there are all kinds of different housing types built throughout the City. There are currently numerous properties in Hamilton’s residential neighborhoods that do not conform to current zoning requirements with respect to use, lot size, frontage, and density. These properties are considered legal non-conforming uses. Examples include small homes built on 4,200 square foot lots or apartment buildings in the RS district. Many of these developments were in place before WWII. Criterion #7 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments will promote compatible urban growth as they will allow development patterns which have historically existed in Hamilton’s residential neighborhoods. Additionally, they may bring existing development into conformity with the City’s zoning ordinance.

8. Does the proposed zoning consider the character of the district, and its peculiar suitability for particular uses? Hamilton’s residential zoning districts are characterized primarily by residential land uses of varying densities. As mentioned under criterion #7, non-conforming residential uses are prevalent in the City’s residential districts, though not at the detriment of surrounding land uses. As their name implies, residential districts are suitable for residential land uses. The proposed text amendments allow for continued residential uses in districts where they are already allowed, just at slightly higher densities. Criterion #8 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments consider the character of the district, and its peculiar suitability for particular uses as they will allow for additional residential land uses in districts where such uses are already allowed.

9. Does the proposed zoning conserve the value of buildings? Conserving building values is a function of allowing land uses that are compatible and reasonable in relation to surrounding land uses. The proposed zoning text amendments will allow for incremental increases in density. While there are theories that high density housing lowers surround property values, research by the Urban Land Institute has shown that “No discernible difference exists in the appreciation rate of properties located near higher-density development and those that are not.”4 Many existing residential neighborhoods have densities that would be allowed under the proposed text amendments. Additionally, the proposed text amendments will bring some non-conforming uses and structures into conformity with the City’s zoning ordinance

which in turn will make it easier for these properties to be bought and sold without issue and will also make it so buildings on these properties can be rebuilt should they be destroyed for whatever reason.5 Criterion #9 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments conserve the value of buildings as they will allow for development patterns which currently exist throughout Hamilton and they may bring existing uses and structures into conformity with the City’s zoning ordinance.

10. Does the proposed zoning encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdictional area? The proposed zoning text amendments are intended to better implement Hamilton’s Growth Policy, specifically with regard to allowing infill development and increasing the supply of housing. The City needs additional housing to accommodate current and projected demand. To meet this demand, a greater selection of housing options will be needed, including large and small single- family homes, apartments, and townhomes units. Additionally, more infill opportunities will enable development in areas well served by City services, thereby allowing for a more efficient and cost-effective provision of local services. Criterion #10 Conclusion: The proposed zoning text amendments encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdictional area by implementing the City Growth Policy’s direction to allow for additional housing options in close proximity to City services.

City of Hamilton Zoning 2021-03 Staff Report Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments for Zoning Commission Membership

Staff Report Date: January 7, 2021 Public Hearing Dates: Zoning Commission public hearing was on Monday, January 4, 2021. City Council public hearings are on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 and Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Staff recommendation Approve. Recommended Motion Recommended City Council Motion: Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials, public comment, recommendation of the zoning commission, and all information presented, I hereby move to adopt the findings presented in the staff report for Zoning Request 2021-03 and approve the proposed City of Hamilton Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments. Alternatives 1. Approve with the recommended findings; 2. Approve with modifications to the findings; 3. Deny based on findings of non-compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the applicable law and regulation; or

4. Continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items. Applicant City of Hamilton 223 South 2nd Street Hamilton, MT 59840 Project Summary Section 17.08.040 of the Hamilton Municipal Code (Zoning Commission – Establishment and Membership) requires that the City Zoning Commission be made up of seven members – two from the Planning Board, two from the Zoning Board of Adjustment, two at-large, and one from City Council. All members must live in Hamilton City limits. These are local requirements and are not dictated by state law. The proposed zoning ordinance text amendments would reduce the required number of Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment members on the Zoning Commission from two each to one each. They will also change the requirement for two at large Hamilton City resident members to four. While it is beneficial to have representation from the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment, the current membership requirements put added burden on volunteer board members who may not intend or wish

to serve on multiple boards. As a result of these requirements, filling seats on the Zoning Commission has become a challenge as has getting quorum for meetings. This is a particular challenge for the two Planning Board seats because (due to state law requirements) three planning board members live outside the City and with one City Council planning board representative that leaves three planning board members to fill two Zoning Commission seats. The overall intent of these text amendments is to ensure the City of Hamilton has a full Zoning Commission so the City can more effectively move forward with City zoning business. Zoning Commission The Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered this zoning text amendment at its January 4, 2021 meeting. The Zoning Commission passed a motion recommending these zoning text amendments for approval by the City Council on a unanimous, 5-0, vote.

MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor and City Council From: Donny Ramer Date: February 16, 2021 Subject: SCADA Project – Nash Electric Contract

Public Works has been working with HDR and Nash Electric on the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Improvements for the City’s Water and Wastewater facilities since 2018. Implementation of upgrades at the WWTP has been substantially completed and we are ready to move into the implementation phase of the remote sites for water and wastewater.

These sites include:  RCEDA Sewer Lift Station  Well #1  SID 17 Sewer Lift Station  Well #2  Stonegate Sewer Lift Station  Well #6  Old Corvallis Road (GSK) Sewer Lift  Water Storage Tank Station  Weber Booster Station  Well Farm Booster Station

Implementation will consist of updating select hardware and radios at the above sites and well as providing battery backup for each facility’s control system. Equipment for this phase of the project has already been purchased by the City of Hamilton.

Under the last phase of the project Nash Electric was a subcontractor to HDR Engineering. To avoid contractor markup, HDR has allowed Nash Electric to contract directly with the City for this phase of the project. The total estimated cost for this portion of work is $43,731.50. This work is budgeted in the 2021‐2021 Water and Sewer Budget in Account 930.

Public Works requests that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the professional services agreement with Nash Electric for an amount not to exceed $43,731.50 for the installation of SCADA Improvements at the City of Hamilton water and wastewater system remote sites.

MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor and City Council From: Donny Ramer Date: February 16, 2021 Subject: WWTP – Screw Pump Replacement & NY Lift Station Upgrades

HDR has provided the attached proposal for engineering services related to replacement of the screw pumps at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and design of upgrades to the New York Lift Station to move equipment above grade.

The screw pumps are used to lift raw sewage in the headworks of the wastewater treatment plant and have been in service since 1983 and are reaching the end of their service life. The New York lift station was installed in 1994 and its pumps are located in an underground vault. Parts for the current pumps are being discontinued and the City has purchased replacement pumps but would like to install them at grade, which will require a redesign of the pumping facilities and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approval.

HDR’s scope of work covers design, DEQ approval, and bidding services for the two projects that will be bid under one set of construction documents. Bidding would be scheduled for late spring or early summer 2021. The estimated fee associated with HDR’s scope of work is $72,046. This work is budgeted in the 2020-2021 Wastewater Budget in Account 930.

Public Works requests that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the professional services agreement with HDR for an amount not to exceed $72,046 for design, DEQ approval and bidding of the above WWTP pumping improvements.

------North Hamilton Urban Renewal District Advisory Board Fiscal Year 2021-22 Work Plan Overview As authorized by Montana Code Annotated 7-15-4232 the Hamilton City Council appointed a North Hamilton Urban Renewal District (NHURD) Advisory Board. The NHURD Advisory Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Hamilton City Council. Final decisions regarding management of the NHURD, including approving projects for funding, rest solely with the Hamilton City Council. As outlined in the 2018 NHURD Plan, the NHURD Advisory Board has the following responsibilities:

1. Formulate and recommend a workable urban renewal program to City Council. 2. Prepare recommended modifications to urban renewal projects for Council review. 3. Prepare recommended plans for carrying out urban renewal programs or projects. 4. Perform such duties as directed by City Council. 2021-22 Workplan The NHURD is in its infancy, with the Advisory Board having begun meeting regularly in 2020. Over the course of 2020, the Advisory Board deliberated to create a workplan for City Council consideration. The workplan identifies the high-level tasks which will be the focus of the Advisory Board, and ultimately City Council, over the course of the 2021-22 fiscal year; July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022. The Advisory Board’s focus in creating this work plan was to take an incremental approach in establishing a foundation for a robust and workable urban renewal program as outlined in the NHURD plan. These actions represent the first steps that need to be taken to outline how NHURD funding will be allocated and directed in way that meets state law requirements, aligns with City goals, and brings investment into the district. In outlining this workplan the Advisory Board focused on actions which are realistic and achievable. All the actions below will be brought before the Hamilton City Council for final approval.

1. Develop an application and corresponding process for requesting NHURD project funding. This action will create a clear and thorough application for requesting NHURD project funding.

2. Create criteria for evaluating applications for NHURD project funding. This action will create criteria for the Advisory Board and City Council to use in evaluating applications for NHURD funding. Evaluation criteria will be developed in alignment with state law, the NHURD plan, and City goals and policies.

3. Create a corridor plan for the Highway 93-Old Corvallis Road corridor. This action will include using NHURD funding to leverage grants to hire a consultant to develop a corridor plan for the area generally north of Fairgrounds Road and including Highway 93 and Old Corvallis Road. The plan will provide a guide for infrastructure development and alignment with future land uses in this area. The corridor plan will be developed subsequent to, and in conformance with, the City of Hamilton’s forthcoming Comprehensive Plan update.

4. Develop communications tools for the NHURD. This action will focus on developing clear and transparent tools for communicating 1.) what the NHURD is and the goals of the program, 2.) how funding can be and is being used, and 3.) how funding can be applied for. Communications products will be oriented and tailored to the general public, property owners in the NHURD, and prospective businesses looking to locate in the NHURD.

To: Hamilton City Council From: North Hamilton Urban Renewal District Advisory Board Date: February 12, 2021 Subject: Recommendation for NHURD Funding for Corridor Plan

Purpose The purpose of this memo is to outline a recommendation from the North Hamilton Urban Renewal District (NHURD) Advisory Board to the Hamilton City Council to commit $25,000 in NHURD funding to match a $25,000 Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund (BSTF) grant. Recommendation The NHURD Advisory Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Hamilton City Council in implementing the City’s 2018 NHURD plan. The Advisory Board is made up of the following seven members appointed by City Council. • Julie Foster – RCEDA • Dan Wolsky – Corvallis Schools • Jenny West – Hamilton City Council • Donny Ramer – Hamilton Public • Jeff Burrows – County Commissioner Works • Drew Blakenbaker – Hamilton • Matthew Rohrbach –Hamilton Schools Planning

One of the responsibilities of the Advisory Board is to “Prepare recommended plans for carrying out urban renewal programs or projects” (NHURD Plan P. 16). In carrying out this responsibility the Advisory Board has been meeting over the last year to discuss implementing the NHURD plan. One priority project that has been identified is the creation of a corridor plan for the area generally north of Fairgrounds Road and including Highway 93 and Old Corvallis Road. The intent is for the plan to provide detailed analysis and guidance for infrastructure development and alignment with future land uses in this area. Ravalli County is also moving forward with applying for a BSTF grant for a corridor plan in the Old Corvallis Road-Eastside Highway corridor using Targeted Economic Development District (TEDD) funding. Private landowners in the TEDD are also considering applying for a BSTF grant. The intent is that if all grants are awarded then all planning efforts would be coordinated for the Highway 93-Old Corvallis Road-Eastside Highway Corridor. The corridor plan will be developed subsequent to, and in conformance with, the City of Hamilton’s forthcoming Comprehensive Plan update. The NHURD Advisory met on February 11, 2021 to discuss whether to forward this recommendation onto the Hamilton City Council. The Advisory Board voted 5 to 0 to recommend that the Hamilton City Council commit $25,000 in NHURD funding to match a $25,000 Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund (BSTF) grant for a Highway 93-Old Corvallis Road Corridor Plan. The NHURD has $169,918 in operating cash as of February 2021.
