The subject property is located within the North Seventh Tax Increment District and would be consistent with the Design and Connectivity Plan (DCP), the Design Objectives Plan, the Bozeman Community Plan and the Unified Development Code. The property was used by The Wok (restaurant) until the Fall of 2015. The existing building is currently vacant. The team would like to explore the redevelopment of their property, through the demolition of the existing building and the design/construction of a new mixed-use building. The new mixed-use building would be consistent with the newly adopted B-2M (Community Business District—Mixed) and would potentially include main level restaurant and retail space, along with offices and residential above on subsequent levels above grade. This Technical Assistance Grant would specifically explore the following:  Parking and Site Analysis  Building Code Research  Unified Development Ordinance Analysis—’Midtown’ Code Changes  Municipal Review Processes Analysis  Conceptual Site and Building Design Analysis  Engineering Assessments, if needed  Preliminary Cost Estimates  Exploration of Development Scenarios & Conceptual Designs  Conceptual Tenant Configurations  Scenario Planning The client requests the full amount ($7,200) be applied to this project. The owner is also applying for the demolition funding through the North Seventh Urban Review District.

Site redevelopment would support the Design and Connectivity Plan (DCP), the Design Objectives Plan, the Bozeman Community Plan and the Unified Development Code as follows: “Encourage the rehabilitation and redevelopment of parcels that are underutilized... (Page 2 Design and Connectivity Plan). This building and site is a prime example of an underutilized and underdeveloped site which makes it a perfect candidate for a Technical Assistance Planning grant. The existing structure is old and outdated. While the building currently is well positioned on the site, close to the street, the property owner is preparing to remove the building and make room for a more visually interesting and contributing building that interacts with the corridor. The project area is mostly parking with a small building footprint. The property owner is excited about redevelopment opportunities inline with the Design and Connectivity Plan. “Encourage buildings of two more stories to increase density” (Page 2 Design and Connectivity Plan). The existing single level building would be replaced with a multi-story, mixed use building with potential housing above, which would anchor the existing corner of N 7th Ave and W Villard Street. “Provide Mixed Use Development” (Page 5 Design and Connectivity Plan) The proposed new mixed use building would provide commercial activities and potentially residential uses which would contribute to making North 7th Avenue its own neighborhood. “The intent of the B-2M community business district—mixed is to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substantial growth and enhances the character of the city.” (Midtown Zoning Text Amendments). With high-density housing and supportive commercial uses planned within a walkable area to serve the needs of the residents, this property and its proposed redevelopment are consistent with the intent and purpose of the newly created Zoning District. Additionally, the potential inclusion of offices, small scale retail and restaurants further the overall goals of the district and endeavor to create a sense of vitality and community. 319 N Seventh Avenue 4) An estimated timeline indicating benchmarks for completing technical evaluation, beginning the project and completing the project.
