CDF Master Plan
Division 38.510.030.L –CDF Master Plan
a.To provide thoughtful and fair process to plan for the
development of large and new commercial and mixed-
use sites consistent with Bozeman’s growth policy.
b.To promote the arrangement of streets, buildings, open
space, parking and service areas that creates a strong
sense of community and enhances the character of
Bozeman.
c.To avoid uncoordinated patterns of development that
waste valuable land, compromise vehicular and
pedestrian access, and degrade the character of
Bozeman.

1.Driveways
2.Inter-site connectivity
3.Internal roadway design (including drive-through
facilities
Site Plan & Design Elements
The examples above include angled parking and planter strips with street trees. Pedestrian-scaled lighting also contributes to the character in the upper right image.
The above left image illustrates a thoroughfare lane with a row of street trees. A sidewalk is included on one side of the street to provide a strategic connection between
businesses. The right image illustrates the curbless “woonerf” design where travel speeds are low and lanes are shared between pedestrians and vehicles.
Figure 38.520.050.D
Good internal roadway examples.
38.520.060 -Internal open space
1.Usable residential open space
Common open space
Ground floor private yards
Balconies
Common indoor recreation areas
Shared roof decks
2.38.520.070 -Service support considerations
Site Plan & Design Elements
The upper examples include a combination of open lawn area for informal recreation plus walkways and decorative landscape areas to enhance the setting for
residents.
The left image above includes a covered gathering space with outdoor grills adjacent to a landscaped commons with a central pathway.The right image includes a
pond/wetland type area with boardwalk and seating areas.
Figure 38.520.060.B.2
Common open space examples.
1.Usable residential open space
38.520.060 -Internal open space
1.Usable commercial open space –developments larger
than one (1) acre; 2%. See figure 38.520.060.D.2. Does not
include M-1 and M-2.
The “development envelope”
on both sites is 102,400sf(2.35
acres). The minimum amount
of usable commercial open
space (2% of development
envelope) is 2,048sf. The left
example consolidates the open
space into one plaza near the
major building entry. The right
example includes three
separate open spaces at
strategic, visible locations.

open space.

38.520.070 -Service support considerations
1.Location of ground related service areas &
mechanical equipment.
2.Screening of ground related service areas &
requirement
3.Utility meters, electrical conduit & other apparatus
4.Roof mounted mechanical equipment
Site Plan & Design Elements
Place utility meters in less visible locations. The upper and lower left examples are successfully tucked away in a less visible location and/or screened by vegetation. The
right images are poorly executed and would not be permitted in such visible locations. Such meters must be coordinated and better integrated with the architecture of
the building.
Figure 38.520.070.D
Utility meter location and screening –good and bad examples
Site Plan & Design Elements
All three examples use durable and attractive enclosures with trees and shrubs to soften views of the enclosures from the side. The lower left
example uses a trellis structure on top –a desirable example particularly where the top of the enclosures are visible from surrounding buildings,
streets, and walkways (due to topography or building heights).
Figure 38.520.070.C
Acceptable screening enclosures
Site Plan & Design Elements
Departures to the
provisions of subsections C.1
and 2 above will be considered
provided the enclosure and
landscaping treatment meet
the intent of the standards and
add visual interest to site users.
All three examples use durable and attractive
enclosures with trees and shrubs to soften views of the

Architecture that is defined predominately by
corporate identity features, aka, franchise
architecture. Additional guidance being developed
o Definition -a type of retail sales activity or retail sales establishment that has
eleven or more other retail sales establishments in operation, or with local
land use or permit entitlements already approved, located anywhere in the
world. In addition to the eleven or more other retail sales establishments
located in the World, maintains two or more of the following features: a
standardized array of merchandise, a standardized facade, a
standardized decor and color scheme, a uniform apparel,
standardized signage, a trademark or a servicemark.”In other words, retail
stores with multiple locations and a recognizable "look" or appearance.

E.Cornice/roofline design
Building 1 uses a dramatic overhanging cornice at the corner. The left portion of Building 1 uses a very simple cornice line –to go with the upper level setback.
Building 2 uses a traditional cornice line.
Figure 38.530.050.E
Examples of buildings employing confident and distinctive rooflines.
Building 3 uses capped projecting columns along with an understated cornice line. Building 4 uses a very simple roofline –which is acceptable in this case due to the
prominence of the wooden canopy.
