a.
DISCUSSION:
2015-2019 TIP Amendment I Federal regulations require that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) review and update their Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) periodically. Due to additional projects being added to the current Billings MPO 2015- 2019 TIP and a variety of cost adjustments to existing projects, the Billings MPO requires a TIP amendment. This amendment will be called the 2015-2019 TIP Amendment I. The projects that have been amended include Bench Boulevard, Airport Road and Zimmerman Trail, and cost adjustments on a variety of other projects. These projects are programmed into MDT project funding and are not funded through local allocations.The Yellowstone County Board of Planning will review the TIP amendment at this meeting and conduct a public hearing on the TIP Amendment at its meeting on June 9.

DISCUSSION. City and County Subdivision Regulation Amendments-Planning staff was recently alerted to an inconsistency in the local subdivision regulations with state law in relation to subdivision of land within a 100-year floodplain. It is desirable to have local subdivision regulations that are consist with all other applicable laws. This proposed amendment is designed to bring the local and state regulations related to the 100-year floodplain into alignment with each other.

OTHER BUSINESS:
a.
GROWTH POLICY UPDATE. CANDI MILLAR, DIRECTOR, PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPT: How the city grows and where it grows have significant consequences for existing and future residents and business. If growth is restricted to our current city limits, is there enough land for housing and businesses to serve an increasing population? If growth was allowed to continue westward and northward, will we have enough resources to serve and maintain the outlying development? What about the needs of current and future residents? The average age of our population has increased; from 36.8 in 2000 to 37.5 in 2010, but more importantly the population in general is aging. The largest population cohorts in Billings are the millennials, age 20 – 35, and the late baby boomers, age 45 – 65. These two generations will drive what types of public services and facilities are needed in the future. (see attached population pyramid).
