Commissioner-Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
Discussion
Mayor Taylor wants to propose changing the setback from 5 feet to 10 feet. Feels 5 feet is very close for
having a 38 feet wall go up.Asks that someone else make that amendment if others are interested.
Mayor Taylor asked staff to explain how the changes in building height could potentially impact
setbacks. Said he wanted to maintain 45 degree angle by increasing the setback.
Cr. Mehl asked what Mayor Taylor was wanting to change.
Cr. Pomeroy asked Mayor Taylor which transitions he was concerned about specifically and if this would
have applied to the Black/Olive project.
Cr. Krauss mentioned that the downtown business center asked to raise the building height to 40 feet.
Cr. Mehl asked staff why 38.320.060.B.2.b is referring to different districts than 38.320.060.B.2.a, and
how that will work in practice.

Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Mayor Taylor said he was trying to just get a little bigger setback when a 38ft wall is going up.
Cr. Pomeroy asked to clarify if they were trying to make changes to the building heights.
Mayor Taylor said that the height was already voted on and that they were voting for changing the
setbacks. Mayor Taylor mentioned that Cr. Krauss might be inclined to vote for the setback change if the
height was changed to 44 feet.
Cr. Krauss explained that the 44 feet change was at the request of the Downtown Business Center
because they felt it made three stories easier to pull off.
Mayor Taylor said that he preferred the amendment as it currently is, but would be willing to support
changing the height to 44 feet if it meant that the setback was changed to 10 feet.
Cr. Mehl asked what the benefit would be of changing the building height from 38 feet to 44 feet.
Cr. Krauss explained that it was related to how a downtown three-story building would have to look,
with the first floor would have to be a little taller to handle ducting, etc.
Cr. Pomeroy asked Downtown Business Association Director Chris Naumman his opinion on changing
the building height to 44 feet. Naumman felt that a strict 38 feet limit could eliminate some three-story
options. Cr. Pomeroy asked what Naumman thought about the setback change from 5 feet to 10 feet.
Naumman felt both distances were workable and would defer to staff. Cr. Pomeroy asked the staff for
their opinions on changing the setback from 5 feet to 10 feet.Tom Rogers indicated that the staff was
neutral on the subject. Chris Saunders explained the history behind the decision to implement the 5 feet
setback. Cr. Pomeroy said that she would support the 44 feet height but only a 5 feet setback in B3
zoning.
Mayor Taylor explained that this change is only applicable to the transition between zones, and not
within the zones themselves.

Mayor Taylor called the Commission into recess until 6:47 PM.

06:49:36 PM (00:48:38) Discussion
Cr. Krauss confirmed that this is only on the transition between the zones.

38.320.060.B.2.a to read, ':..From a height of up two 3 stories or 40 feet, whichever is greater, and a

07:14:22 PM (01:13:24) Discussion
Cr. Mehl said that this had been discussed previously and seems straightforward.
Cr. Krauss said he put some time into the beginning of this chapter to decide what exactly zoning is. Said
it is about consistency.
Mayor Taylor agrees that an ordinance should take precedence over something lesser, including
guidelines.This amendment makes that clear and makes things more predictable.
Cr. Krauss says problems have arisen when areas of town are zoned one way, and then people are
prevented from building in ways that fit that zoning. Cr. Krauss says it is important to establish the
hierarchy of what rules take precedence.

07:24:43 PM (01:23:45) Discussion
Cr. Krauss thinks that as the city moves to an urban standard,there will be neighbors in the county or on
small lots arguing for the lowest possible zoning. Cr. Krauss does not think they should compound the
issue by leaving R-S as an option.
Mayor Taylor raised concerns about fully surrounded county pockets being forcibly annexed into the
city. Mayor Taylor would like those pockets to volunteer to be annexed, and worries that abolishing R-S
within city limits would discourage them from volunteering to annex.
Cr. Krauss says the answer to the Mayor's concerns is the fact that the non-annexed properties do not
have a city zoning yet.They may be R-S in the county, but they would need to receive a city zoning upon
annexation. Properties don't get to keep their county zoning.
Cr. Mehl asked if there was a reason that staff worded the proposed amendment the way they did.
Cr Pomeroy sees the Mayor's point, but agrees with Cr. Krauss.Annexed individuals should follow city
rules.
07:30:04 PM (01:29:06) Vote on the Amendment to the Motion to add language to Residential
suburban district(R-S)38.300.100, "The R-S residential suburban district is not available for newly
created subdivisions, undeveloped land or any land annexed into the city on or after January 1,2018.
"'r�SSubdivision and site plan developments in this district shall be subject to the provisions of
division 38.430qF6sle-20 of this chapter,pertaining to planned unit development, and shall be
developed in compliance with the adopted city growth policy."As recommended by staff. The motion
passed 3-1.

07:30:42 PM (01:29:44)Amendment to the Motion to change 38.360.030.1.3 to 38.360.030.1.3 and
38.360.030.1.4, with 38.360.030.1.3 saying, "Accessory structures greater than 600 feet may not be
located in any required front,rear, or sideyard setback when no alley is present and must provide
adequate backup maneuverability for required parking spaces,"and 38.360.030.1.4 saying, "Accessory

must provide adequate backup maneuverability for required parking spaces."

Commissioner-I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:32:33 PM (01:31:35) Discussion
Cr. Krauss said that this proposal came from a letter from Robert J. Pertzborn. Cr. Krauss says it does not
make much sense to move 20 feet from the alley and then another 20 feet of concrete into the garage
of the ADU rather than just putting it 5 feet away.
Mayor Taylor asked Cr. Krauss if the maneuverability standards are just above the amended section.
Mayor Taylor thinks this makes sense.Alleys provide a unique problem.Visibility and maneuverability is
a bigger issue to him than the location of the setback. May Taylor will support the amendment.
07:35:02 PM (01:34:04) Vote on the Amendment to the Motion to change 38.360.030.1.3 to

07:35:54 PM (01:34:56)Amendment to the Motion to reduce the minimum lot area per dwelling
requirement from 5000 square feet to 4000 square feet in R-2 and R-O in Table 38.320.030.
Commissioner-Jeff Krauss: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:36:19 PM (01:35:21) Discussion
Cr. Krauss Thinks 4000 square feet is plenty of room for a single household dwelling.
Cr. Mehl wanted to point out the footnote regarding corner lots. Cr. Mehl agrees with the motion.
Mayor Taylor asked the staff's opinion on the proposed change.
07:37:17 PM (01:36:19) Vote on the Amendment to the Motion to reduce the minimum lot area per

07:37:35 PM (01:36:37) Discussion
Cr. Krauss asked staff why they require 5000 square feet per dwelling in RMH, rather than a smaller lot
size.
Cr. Mehl asked the staff if there would be any harm in lowering the minimum size for RMH zone.
07:40:01 PM (01:39:03)Amendment to the Motion to change the minimum lot size per dwelling for
single household dwellings in RMH to 3000 square feet.
Commissioner-Jeff Krauss: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:40:18 PM (01:39:20) Discussion
Cr. Krauss was not entirely clear on the explanation from staff, but he felt that most trailer parks would
fit within 3000 square feet. Cr. Krauss does not feel the larger requirement is a good fit for what RMH is
meant for. Cr. Krauss feels that 5000 feet is too large of a minimum.
Cr. Pomeroy agrees with Cr. Krauss.
Cr. Mehl supports the amendment, but wanted to clarify that they are not changing what they see as
necessary for public safety.
Page 16 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Mayor Taylor will vote for the amendment, but his main concern is that people will look at the new
smaller requirement but won't look at the safety-related footnote.
Cr. Krauss said that there is the potential of having to annex in non-conforming trailer parks, even at the
lowered requirement.
07:43:24 PM (01:42:26) Vote to Amendment to the Motion to change the minimum lot size per
dwelling for single household dwellings in RMH to 3000 square feet. The motion passed 4-0.

Commissioner-Jeff Krauss: Motion
Commissioner-I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:44:39 PM (01:43:41) Discussion
Cr. Krauss says this is another urban density issue. He feels there are enough provisions to protect from
these changed ratios being taken advantage of.
Mayor Taylor commented that this will make things more dense,and asked staff opinion on the
proposed change.
Cr. Mehl said staff made a case that it might be hard to reach a ratio that high.
Cr. Pomeroy said they've been pushing higher densities,so she will be supporting this.
Cr. Mehl asked Cr. Krauss if this would change the heights for various zoning setbacks.
07:47:14 PM (01:46:16) Vote to Amendment to the Motion to change R-2 to 0.75, R-3 to 1.0,R-4 and R-

07:47:30 PM (01:46:32) Discussion
Cr. Pomeroy asked staff about ADU's being subordinate to the principal structure. Cr. Pomeroy
expressed interest in making changes so ADU's over garages can be taller than the main house. She says
it is an affordability issue.
07:49:55 PM (01:48:57) Point of Clarification
Senior Planner Tom Rogers asked Cr. Pomeroy if she was referring to accessory structures or ADU's
specifically. Cr. Pomeroy asked Rogers to explain the difference. Rogers clarified that detached accessory
structures cannot be taller than the main house, but attached accessory structures can be.
Cr. Pomeroy said that she wanted to make changes regarding all accessory structures. Staff expressed
concerns about making a sweeping change regarding the height of all accessory structures.
07:53:52 PM (01:52:54) Discussion
Cr. Krauss understands the staff's use of height as the determining factor for if an accessory structure is
subordinate to the main house. However, he is concerned that this rule precludes owners of single-story
homes from doing what people who can afford to build taller homes are allowed to. Asked staff to
respond to that concern.
Cr. Mehl says that some neighborhoods have had their characters change because of large accessory
units being developed. Would be interested in seeing what the staff proposes.
Mayor Taylor thinks that, as a general rule,some sacrifices need to be made when it comes to creating
more housing. He is in favor of being able to create new housing units and ADU's.
Cr. Krauss commented that the rules for accessory structures not being taller than the main house only
applies to detached structures.Attached structures can be taller than the main house. He wonders if
they are incentivizing people to attach structures rather than detach.
08:01:11 PM (02:00:13)Amendment to the Motion to add transitional emergency housing as a T"or
conditional use in all zoning districts.
Commissioner-Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
08:01:42 PM (02:00:44) Discussion
Mayor Taylor says this amendment has been proposed by a number of groups. Mayor Taylor says that
the right place for transitional housing may not be in a specific zone. He wanted to be able to grant a
Conditional Use Permit in any zone.
Cr. Mehl says there is a problem with the fact that they do not have a definition of transitional and
emergency housing.
Mayor Taylor says he wanted staff to define it what transitional and emergency housing would be.
Cr. Mehl wants a specific definition for what length of time would constitute transitional. Mehl asked to
wait for staff recommendations before voting on the motion.
Cr. Pomeroy says that HRDC already has a definition for what transitional means
Page 18 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Cr. Mehl asked if they would be allowed to do something like build 8-block units in R-1, or if the
underlying zoning rules would prevail.
Cr. Krauss asked how this would affect their rules about no more than 4 non-related adults living
together in a house. Cr. Krauss is concerned about creating scenarios where something is OK if you're
rich/poor, but not the other way around.
Mayor Taylor mentioned that we already have group housing. He feels that the Conditional Use Permit
would deal with where the housing would go and how it would fit in. Mayor Taylor says this is primarily
aimed at getting this housing in M-1 and M-2 instead of R-1 and R-2
Cr. Krauss says he does not support the amendment as proposed. Cr. Krauss also says that he says that
state law also trumps them regarding the number of people living together. Cr. Krauss has no problem
allowing it in some commercial and residential zones, but isn't comfortable with allowing it to be applied
anywhere.
Cr. Mehl asked staff how we get around these issues with the homeless shelter. Cr. Mehl feels there is a
need for this, but wants to have some questions answered first.
Cr. Krauss says many of them have lived in dorm rooms before, and that's what he was envisioning
when transitional housing is talked about.
Mayor Taylor says he would be happy to leave this amendment with the staff to give them a chance to
come up with a proposal. He says he would want to find a place within the city where this would work.
Cr. Pomeroy asked staff about the tiny houses HRDC was interested in doing.
Amendment still on the floor.
08:14:05 PM (02:13:07)Amendment to the Motion to add a phrase to paragraph 1 in section
38.340.090.0 after the existing "The property's historic significance"add, "and the neighborhood's
historic significance."
Commissioner-Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner-I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
08:14:22 PM (02:13:24) Discussion
Cr. Krauss asked Mayor Taylor what the amendment specifically entailed.
Mayor Taylor said that when they are looking at whether or not to tear something down,they should
look at the property's connection to the neighborhood's historic nature. It is a broader view to look at
when determining when to demolish a structure. Mayor Taylor invited staff to comment on the
amendment. Mayor Taylor asked if this amendment would exist with paragraph 3 where it's currently
proposed,or if the amendment's wording would help paragraph 3 more.
Cr. Krauss said he interpreted the amendment as saying that you can't tear a structure down based on
what historic district it's in.
Mayor Taylor said he appreciated the idea of fitting the amendment into paragraph 3.
Cr. Mehl asked how this amendment being appended to paragraph 3 would actually benefit the UDC
section.
Page 19 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Mayor Taylor says the proposal to attach the amendment to paragraph 3 adds the neighborhood's
historic significance as a consideration when a developer goes to build a new structure on torn down lot.
Cr. Mehl asked staff if this belongs in the COA standards.
Cr. Krauss thought this was supposed to be about the decision to tear a structure down.
Cr. Mehl asked if this was changing the standards for demolition.
Mayor Taylor says that the goal is to get developers to look at what they plan to put in as well as what
they plan to tear down.
Cr. Mehl asked if the addition of this amendment would change whether or not someone would be able
to tear a structure down. Staff says this shouldn't change anything. Cr. Mehl says he isn't sure that they
are keeping to the Historic Preservation Board's intent when they proposed this change.
08:23:54 PM (02:22:56) Recess
Mayor Taylor called the Commission into recess until 8:30 PM.
08:38:26 PM (02:37:28)Call to order
Mayor Taylor called the Commission back to order at 8:38 PM.
08:38:40 PM (02:37:42) Discussion
Mayor Taylor said that the amendment as proposed was meant to look at a historically significant
building in the context of where it sits. It was proposed during the break to also add this language to
section 3.What you put up in a demolished lot should fit in with its neighborhood.
Cr. Mehl thought that a property's historic significance already includes what it is and its context. He
asked Mayor Taylor if he wanted the amendment changed or if he wants it withdrawn and a new one
submitted.
Mayor Taylor said he'd prefer for the amendment to be changed, but would accept the legislative
history.
Cr. Mehl wanted to confirm what Mayor Taylor intended to section 3. Cr. Mehl asked staff why this
change was not already included in section 3.
Mayor Taylor asked staff what minor change they would like to see made to this section.
08AS:22 PM (02:44:24)Friendly Amendment to the Amendment to the Motion to amend paragraph 3
instead of paragraph 1. Paragraph 3 will now read, "Whether the subsequent development complies
with 38.340.050;and the neighborhood's historic significance."
08:45:48 PM (02:44:50) Discussion
Cr. Krauss said he will oppose the amendment.The commission has struggled with the definition of
neighborhood. He feels there is too much potential for the amendment to be very narrowly interpreted
to block change.
Mayor Taylor said the amendment is merely meant to broaden the decisions regarding what else is
built. Urges other commissioners to vote for it.
Cr. Mehl asked if the Mayor would be opposed to the amendment saying, "the immediate
neighborhood."
Page 20 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Cr. Krauss said that they still do not know what"immediate neighborhood" means.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that there is a place further in the UDC that grants them the ability to make
changes for the greater community good, overriding the historical significance. Gave the example of
tearing down Nelson Story's house for Willson School. Community needed a school in that case.
08:49:39 PM (02:48:41) Vote on the Amendment to the Motion as Amended to add a phrase to
paragraph 3 in section 38.340.090.0 after the existing"Whether the subsequent development
complies with 38.340.050"to add, ';and the neighborhood's historic significance."The motion tied 2-

in#4"No ADU established after December 1,2017 in R-1 or R-S may be permitted as a short term
rental."
Commissioner-Chris Mehl: Motion
Commissioner- I-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
08:50:29 PM (02:49:31) Discussion
Cr. Mehl asked if this is something that really belongs in the UDC. He felt this belongs in the short-term
rental regulations.
Mayor Taylor said the timing was meant to grandfather in any existing structures.This proposal came
from the Neighborhood Association. Mayor Taylor feels that they are significantly broadening where
ADU's are allowed. His goal with the amendment was to make sure ADU's add to available housing and
affordable housing.
Cr Mehl stated that they allowed ADU's during the short-term rental discussion so long as the owner be
present. Cr. Mehl asked what the difference was between allowing an ADU to act as a short-term rental
versus a long-term rental.
Mayor Taylor said that he felt that if they were going to allow ADU's in more places, he wanted them to
be used for long-term housing and not short-term rentals.
Cr. Mehl said that they received a lot of public comment from people saying that being able to rent out
an ADU would allow them to afford to live here.
ACA Stambaugh said that an ADU short-term rental is a Type 2 rental, and Type 2 rentals already aren't
allowed in R-S and R-1. She feels this is redundant as this type of rental is already addressed in the short-
term rental policy.
Page 21 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Mayor Taylor asked Cr. Mehl to withdraw the motion as it is redundant and unnecessary.
08:58:42 PM (02:57:44)Amendment to the Motion withdrawn.
08:59:47 PM (02:58:49)Staff Presentation on UDC Chapter 4/Questions of Staff
Senior Planner Tom Rogers gave a staff presentation on the changes to chapter 4 of the UDC. Chapter 4
relates to community design, consisting of sidewalks, roads, block lengths, etc. Backbone of the
community. Most changes proposed by staff are relating to driveway and garage access.
Cr. Mehl asked if any developers had requested the residential density bonus, and how that program is
working.
Cr. Pomeroy asked why houses only accessible via a courtyard are limited to only two stories. Cr.
Pomeroy asked if she thought courtyards in the city should look similar to the courtyard shown as an
example in staff's presentation.

Mayor Taylor discussed the process moving forward. Mayor asked if everyone was comfortable with
moving forward to Article 5. Mayor Taylor asked the commission and staff about their thoughts on the
timetable going forward.
CM Surratt proposed December 5tn 6tn or 7cn as feasible special meeting options for the staff.She listed
some possible options for timetables regarding passage of the entire UDC.
Mayor Taylor proposed possibly wrapping up articles 1-4 in December, and then leaving Article 5 for the
next commission.
Cr. Krauss wasn't sure that it made sense to vote on article 5 as-is, knowing that they were going to
change it dramatically later.
Page 23 of 25
Bozeman City Commission Special Meeting Minutes,November 15,2017
Cr. Mehl clarified that he thought they'd just be finalizing 1-4, but would leave chapter 5 and final
adoption to the next commission.
Mayor Taylor said that he was envisioning that they would do final adoption of articles 1-4 with the
current commission.The downside is the lack of the ultimate coordination between the articles.
Cr. Mehl asked what Monday meetings in December are set aside specifically for the UDC.
Mayor Taylor said that they should tentatively schedule a meeting for December 5th 6th,or 7th that can
be canceled if it's not needed. December 7th was chosen by the commission and staff.
CM Surratt confirmed that the current plan was to work on the UDC on December 4th, and then they
would start 5pm on December 7th. December 18th would be available for continuation of the December
7th meeting.
