1. Project Description
We are looking at redeveloping the existing building and site located at the corner of North 7th and Aspen. This
structure is a great candidate for the North Seventh Urban Renewal District Redevelopment Incentive Programs.
It is located within the area designated by the North Seventh Tax Increment District and would support the
Design and Connectivity Plan (DCP), the Design Objectives Plan, the Bozeman Community Plan and the Unified
Development Code. We want to use this grant to determine the highest best use, take advantage of new
parking requirements, increase the building size towards the street and potentially tear the existing building
down and move it to the corner of Aspen and North 7th.
Currently, the property is used as the restaurant Village Inn Pizza Parlor. Village Inn Pizza Parlor was opened and
established in 1969 by Michael Cetraro. Because of popular demand a back room was added for parties in 1976.
The property was purchased by Michael and Andrew Cetraro in 2003. With the new ownership of the land,
Village Inn Pizza Parlor came into compliance with the current building, zoning and signage requirements. With
the new facelift, addition of sidewalks, parking improvements, and the removal of the iconic sign, the
opportunity presented itself to create a new image and the redesign. Pub Hip‐po was opened after the
improvements offering many similar products to Village Inn Pizza Parlor and with an expanded beer and food
menu. Recently Tarantino’s Pizzeria was operating in the building until September 2015 When Village Inn Pizza
Parlor Rebranded and now has come full circle. We want to assess whether the property can support a 3 story
building with retail on the ground floor, office on the second and residential on the top floor. The Centraro’s
would like to renovate the existing building and add a residential portion which would be consistent with the B‐
2M (Community Business District‐ Mixed).
This Technical Assistant Grant would specifically explore the following:
‐ Development feasibility study
‐ Preliminary development review
‐ Square footage
‐ Lease rate
‐ Apartment rent in Bozeman
‐ Conceptual Tenant Configurations
‐ Building condition assessment
‐ Renovation or reuse studies
‐ Historical inventory and research
‐ Parking requirement assessment
‐ Preliminary cost estimates
‐ UDO and building code analysis
‐ Scenario planning and phasing
‐ Municipal Review Process Analysis
‐ Conceptual Site and Building Design Analysis
‐ Engineering Assessments
The owner requests the full amount of $7,200.00 to be used for this project and is interested in exploring further
funding for site improvements and streetscape improvements.

2. Technical Assistance
The owners of Village Inn Pizza Parlor are seeking the assistance of Faure Halvorsen Architects to collaborate
with on their potential property redevelopment. Faure Halvorsen Architects provides architecture, consulting,
engineering, land planning, and interior design services.
Faure Halvorsen has designed a wide array of architectural projects including custom residential homes and
commercial buildings. Our work includes the City Brew Qdoba Building, Bridger Feeds, Dave’s Sushi, Jewelry
Studio, Jam Fusion Café, Sweet Chili 2, Craft Beer, M Salon, Old Chicago, Massage Envy, Oba Café, Heart of the
Valley Animal Shelter, and the list goes on.
All of our team will contribute to the project, but it will be lead primarily by Matt Faure. Matt is a registered
architect who has been in the architecture industry for 26 years. He is originally from Missoula, MT and holds a
Masters of Architecture from Montana State University. Matt is licensed to practice architecture in 6 states and
has created a variety of projects throughout Bozeman and the mountain west.
3. Prospective project would support the Design and Connectivity Plan (DCP), the Design Objectives Plan, the
Bozeman Community Plan and the Unified Development Code.
Our project would support the Downtown Improvement Plan in the following ways:
1. Accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists (pg.2)‐
As we are looking to expand this building to possibly include residential living quarters, we would want to
accommodate these people by providing bicycle racks and large sidewalks to accommodate the heavy flow
of pedestrians.
2. Encourage the rehabilitation and redevelopment of parcels that are underutilized or do not meet current
standards (pg.2)‐
We believe this is a vital aspect in wanting to remodel the building. Although it is sound in meeting current
standards, the redevelopment of the building would increase its usage and appearance for the community
of Bozeman.
3. Promote designs that add interest as seen from the road while establishing a sense of relatedness to the
region overall (pg.2)‐
With Faure Halvorsen’s help, we hope to create a building that is not only multi‐functional, but also
appealing and user friendly. This is a primary entryway for first‐time visitors coming in to Bozeman and
therefore providing them with a first impression and we want to encompass Bozeman’s Main Street
atmosphere with spatially defining architecture.
4. Encourage buildings of two or more stories to increase density (pg.2)‐
As Bozeman continues to grow, especially attracting the millennials, there is an increased need for
apartment‐style living. This building could support that as well as providing a communal place to gather on
the first level.
5. Provide distinct identity (pg.5)‐
The construction of this building will contribute to the goal of creating a “vibrant center of unique activities
in a livable, walkable setting.” Village Inn Pizza Parlor is a great place for families as there is a small arcade to
keep kids entertained while also providing a fun atmosphere for the older crowd with many local draft
5
beers. The wide array of activities makes it a place that anyone can enjoy and have a relaxing, fun
experience.
6. Provide mixed use develop (pg. 5)‐
This combines residential with commercial activities as the main level would consist of the restaurant, and
the upper levels of office spaces and homes.
7. Provide flexible public space along the corridor (pg. 6)‐
We will assess the parking lot area to create a space that can not only be used for vehicles, but for festivals
and activities.
4. Estimate timeline with benchmarks for completing technical evaluation, beginning the project and completing
the project.
