Individual Lot Relaxation Page 32
The PUD Concept Plan for the Bridger View Redevelopment relies upon some relaxations in order to cost effectively develop
modest homes for local residents. The proposed relaxations maintain the integrity of the codes while allowing for a functional
neighborhood that meets the goals and objectives of the Bozeman Community Plan. The following relaxations are anticipated
with this Planned Unit Development (PUD) and are broken into two categories - subdivision relaxations and individual lot
relaxations.
SECTION 3 - STAFF COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials, municipal codes, standards,
plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the review period. The purpose of the Concept PUD is for
discussion of the applicant’s proposal with the designated review committees in order to identify any requirements and
applicable standards and policies, as well as offering the applicant the opportunity to identify major problems that may exist
Building Design:
The property is within the Class 2 Entryway Corridor the provisions of Sec 38.17.030 and Sec 38.17.060 shall be applied in
addition to any other applicable regulations of this chapter. The proposed development shall also comply with all applicable
design standards and guidelines including the design objectives plan for entryway corridors
and identify solutions prior to making formal application. Staff has evaluated the project and offers the following comments for
the DRB’s consideration.
Park Frontage and Adjacency:
The proposed PUD will be adjacent to the future Story Mill Park, which will be a new amenity to the community and may put
pressure on long term uses and redevelopment.
design standards and guidelines, including the design objectives plan for entryway corridors.
Architectural quality will be an important element of PUD submittal. A diversity of architectural design should be implemented
to align with the PUD intent.
Parking:
Parking is accommodated on lot and in shared parking areas. The identified units have two spaces available within 100’ of
their unit. Assignment of shared parking areas is anticipated to be in clusters.
Guest parking is spread throughout the development and is meant to be occupied on a temporary basis. Unoccupied guest
parking in shared lots can serve as a vehicular turn around. Proposed street parking for visitors or residents is also available
along side Hillside Lane.

Density and Lot Coverage:
Bridger View is modeled after the historic Northeast Neighborhood to capture the density and character. Some of the most
dense development patterns in Bozeman are found in historic areas (6-8 units/acre). This is primarily due to the diversity of
structures, including multiunit buildings and modest size homes. More land is available for homes in these areas because
there are smaller interconnected streets, shared utility corridors, and modest setbacks.
Landscaping:
At the concept level, the application does not delineate in detail the amount of landscape features that are intended. The
Preliminary PUD should include a master landscape plan for the development along with finer detail plans for all planting areas
where additional densities of plantings should be provided: at the primary vehicular and pedestrian access locations.

APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The site currently encompasses parts of 3 different zoning districts; R-2, R-4 and B-1. The property is currently vacant, but
contains vestiges of its former use including two large asphalt drives, 40 trailer pads, and several mature trees. Additionally, gggp,p, y,
infrastructure remnants exist from former utilities that served the trailer court, including two wells and public water system,
municipal sewer, and overhead electric.
Most of the incorporated area to the east of the site is zoned residential (R-1, R-S, and R3), with the exception of the historic
mill site and stockyard areas (B-1 and B-2). Previous studies have suggested that these sites might anchor future commercial
development.
Areas to the west are largely commercial and light industrial (M1 and M2). Areas to the south of the site are included in the
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Northeast Urban Renewal District (NEURD), and are a mix of agricultural uses, commercial, and light industrial. Sites closer to
older areas are smaller in scale and interwoven with residential in the Northeast Neighborhood.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as Residential and Community Commercial Mixed Use in the Bozeman Community Plan.
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Background
The site is an 8.03-acre parcel of land located at the junction of Bridger Canyon Drive and Story Mill Road. A dense
development plan was approved for the parcel and surrounding properties in 2008 but failed after changing the zoning,
annexing into the city and closing the 92-family trailer park.
The property is currently vacant, but contains vestiges of its former use including two large asphalt drives, 40 trailer pads, and
several mature trees Additionally infrastructure remnants exist from former utilities that served the trailer court including two several mature trees. Additionally, infrastructure remnants exist from former utilities that served the trailer court, including two
wells and public water system, municipal sewer, and overhead electric.
Vehicular access is gained from two access points from Bridger Drive, which is currently being widened by the Montana
Department of Transportation. The Trust for Public Land granted a pathway easement to the City of Bozeman along the
northern boundary as a result of the road widening project to preserve the mature spruce trees and accommodate safe bike
and pedestrian movement through the site.
The Trust for Public Land also granted a sewer easement along the northern boundary to provide land for the city to install an The Trust for Public Land also granted a sewer easement along the northern boundary to provide land for the city to install an
new trunk sewer line. The neighbors established a Special Improvement District (SID) to share in the costs of installing this
sewer line, and water and sewer mains along Story Mill Drive.
