North Seventh Urban Renewal District | Redevelopment Incenve Program
1) Project Descripon
The exisng building and site located at 601 West Ma in Street is an ideal candidate for the
North Seventh Urban Renewal District Redevelopment Incenve Programs. The subject
property is located within the North Seventh Tax Increment District and would be consistent
with the Design and Connecvity Plan (DCP), the Desi gn Objecves Plan, the Bozeman
Community Plan and the Unified Development Code.
The property is presently used as the locaon of Wor ld Boards. In 1993 Jay Moore opened
World Boards and leased the property unl December 2 010 when he purchased the property.
The building was used as mul-tenant housing rental s prior, and before that the building was a
private residence. Jay Moore, both individually and along with his adjacent neighbors, would
like to explore the redevelopment of their property, through the demolion of the exisng
building and the design/construcon 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 include main level restaurant and retail space, along with offices and
residenal 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 Esmates
· Exploraon of Development Scenarios & Conceptual De signs
· Conceptual Tenant Configuraons
· Scenario Planning
The owner requests the full amount ($7,200) be applied to this project. The owner is also
interested in exploring addional future funding fo r façade/site improvements and
streetscape improvements.

3) Prospecve project would support the Design and
Connecvity Plan (DCP), the Design Objecves Plan,
the Bozeman Community Plan and the Unified
Development Code.
Site renovaon and/or redevelopment would support t he Design and Connecvity Plan (DCP),
the Design Objecves Plan, the Bozeman Community Pla n and the Unified Development Code
as follows:
“Encourage the rehabilitaon and redevelopment of p arcels that are underulized... (Page 8
Design and Connecvity Plan).
This building and site is a prime example of an underulized and underdeveloped site which
makes it a perfect candidate for a Technical Assistance Planning grant.
“Encourage buildings of two more stories to increase density” (Page 8 Design and
Connecvity Plan).
The exisng single level building would be replaced with a mul-story, mixed use building with
potenal housing above, which would anchor the exis ng corner.
“Provide Mixed Use Development” (Page 11 Design and Connecvity Plan)
The proposed new mixed use building would provide commercial acvies and residenal
uses which would contribute to making North 7th Avenue its own neighborhood.
“The intent of the B-2M community business district—mixed is to funcon as a vibrant
mixed-use district that accommodates substanal gro wth and enhances the character of the
city.” (Midtown Zoning Text Amendments).
With high-density housing and supporve commercial u ses 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. Addionally, the potenal
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.
