Ordinance 1978 Final, UDC Update - Attachment B, Strikeout and Underline VersionOrdinance 1978 Attachment B JULY 28, 2017 DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (Revision December 11, 2017) (Revision January 4, 2018) Comments on this draft may be submitted to agenda@bozeman.net or mailed to City of Bozeman, Department of Community Development, Attention Tom Rogers, P.O. Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771-1230 Revisions to the text are expected as the review process proceeds. This draft replaces all prior drafts. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 2 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REORGANIZATION & UPDATE New Organization 1. General provisions (user guide, and purpose & authority) 2. Permits, legislative actions & procedures (consolidates project applications, review procedures, and approval criteria) 3. Zoning districts & land use (introduces zones, permitted uses, and density & dimensional standards) 4. Community design (includes standards related to public and larger scale community design issues such as streets, block size & connectivity, subdivision design, and parks) 5. Project design (includes standards to apply to the design of individual developments, including development frontages, site planning, building design, parking, landscaping, signage, etc.) 6. Natural resource protection (mostly wetlands and floodplain regulations) 7. Definitions These article titles are broad enough that future code amendments should easily be able fit within one of the articles (without having to add new articles at the end – a common current practice). Updated Chapter Hierarchy The pyramid to the right identifies the updated hierarchy of the reorganized code. The chart on pages 3-5 compares the article organization of existing code with the proposed code (in several cases, current articles may be consolidated under one article as separate “divisions”). Chapter (38) Article (1-7) Division (ex. 38.100) Part (some divisions have multiple "parts") Section (ex. 38.100.010) BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 3 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Other User-Friendly Changes Two other notable user-friendly changes have been made to this draft UDC update: 1. Emphasize clear tables over long and often repetitive text lists. The best examples of this are the permitted use and form and intensity standards charts in Article 3. Currently, there are several permitted use charts spread among multiple articles. In the proposed update, the use charts are consolidated into two groups: one for residential-based districts and another for commercial and mixed-use districts. A similar approach has been taken with the form and intensity standards. 2. Illustrations are now located together in the section with applicable standards or provisions, rather than clustered at the end in an appendix. This makes them much more accessible. Existing Code Citations For each section in the proposed new code, there is a citation of the applicable existing code number in parentheses and italicized. This citation will be removed in the final draft. Tracking Content Changes Outside of the organizational changes, changes to the code text are tracked in two ways. (1) Where existing and proposed text are integrated, changes are shown in Track Changes format with additions and deletions shown as such. (2) For sections and subsections that are entirely new, such sections or subsections include “(new)” after the title. The section will not be underlined. Consider the section in its entirety. (3) Text in blue refers to amendments accepted by the commission, but not yet formally adopted. (4) All changes, additions, deletions, and modifications made to the July 28, 2017 draft are highlighted in GREEN. (5) The removal of new text in the July 28, 2017 draft being deleted is shown with double strikethrough. Comparison Between Existing/Proposed Organization The chart on the following pages runs through each article and identifies the new location for the UDC components.. For each existing/proposed article and division there are italicized notes indicating corresponding location of the provision in the existing/proposed code.

Article 16: Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (38.340 Part 1) Consider other options in Phase 2 as there are a lot of procedural type elements. Article 17: Bozeman Entryway Corridor Overlay District (38.340 Part 2) In Phase 2, we might be able to delete this entirely depending on how the guidelines project evolves. We had suggested these provisions could be addressed as a part of the Citywide Commercial and Multi-household Design Standards – proposed for Article 5. Article 18: Casino Overlay District (38.340 Part 3) Staff noted that content could be soon deleted entirely. Article 19: Plan Review (38.230) Considerable organizational changes might be considered in Phase 2. Article 20: Planned Unit Development (38.430) Alternative locations could be considered depending on the nature of changes in Phase 2. Article 21: General Land Use Standards And Requirements (38.350) Content is integrated with the zone dimensional standards. Article 22: Standards For Specific Uses (38.360) Some may obviously be updated or deleted with Phase II update. Article 4: Community Design Article 23: Development Standards (38.320,420 & 570). This is a mix of subdivision related content that can go into 38.420 and other provisions that apply to other non-subdivision projects that fit better elsewhere. Fence provisions fit well in .320. Storage and trash enclosures can also go in .320 in the interim, but probably belong in Article 5 in Phase 2 with commercial/ multi- household design standards. Loading provisions can go with parking provisions in .540. Lighting standards fit into .570. Article 4: Community Design 38.400 Transportation facilities & access (existing Article 24) 38.410 Community design & elements (existing Article 23) 38.420 Park & recreation requirements (existing Article 27) 38.430 Planned unit developments (existing Article 20) Article 24: Transportation Facilities And Access (38.400) Consider in Phase 2 whether any material should be split out. Some content changes are likely in Phase 2.

For a multiphase project, the property owners’ association must be created for the entire project with the first phase. E. To ensure continued maintenance of common areas and facilities, and on-going fulfillment of all obligations no property must may be removed from the property owners’ association without prior approval by the city commission. Sec.38.220.320. - Covenants. (38.38.030) A. The city may require covenants to be recorded with the final plat when it is determined they are necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. Review of covenants must comply with Section 38.240.150.A.3. All covenants must be considered to run with the land. If the covenants are not marked or noted on the final subdivision plat or other final approval document, they must be contained in a separate instrument which must be recorded with the final plat or prior to final approval of other applications. The covenants may be required to include, but are not limited to, the following provisions: 1. That all county declared noxious weeds will be controlled. 2. A section addressing agricultural uses of neighboring properties in the following form: "Lot owners and residents of the subdivision are informed that adjacent uses may be agricultural. Lot owners accept and are aware that standard agricultural and farming practices can result in dust, animal odors and noise, smoke, flies, and machinery noise. Standard agricultural practices feature the use of heavy equipment, chemical sprays and the use of machinery early in the morning and sometimes late into the evening." 3. That all fences bordering agricultural lands must be maintained by the landowners in accordance with state law. 4. That any covenant which is required as a condition of the preliminary plat approval and required by the city commission may not be amended or revoked without the mutual consent of the owners in accordance with the amendment procedures in the covenants, and the city commission. 5. Common area and facility maintenance plan. The developer must submit a legal instrument setting forth a plan providing for the permanent care and maintenance of common areas and facilities. The same must be submitted to the city attorney and must not be accepted by the city until approved as to legal form and effect. Common areas and facilities must be deeded to a property owners’ association and, the applicant must record the proposed documents governing the association at the time of final plat filing. 6. Common area and facility maintenance guarantee. In the event the organization or any successor organization established to own and maintain common areas and facilities, must at any time fail to maintain the common areas or facilities in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the approved plan, the city may cause written notice to be served upon such organization or upon the owners of property in the development. The written notice must set forth the manner in which the common areas or facilities have failed to be maintained in reasonable condition. In addition, the notice must include the demand that the deficiencies noted be cured within 30 days thereafter and must state the date and place of a public meeting to be held within 14 days of the notice. At the time of public meeting, the city commission may modify the terms of the original notice as to deficiencies and may extend the time within which the same may be cured. If the deficiencies set forth in the original notice or modifications are BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 76 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft not cured within the time set, the city may enter upon such common facilities and maintain the same for a period of one year, in order to preserve the taxable values of properties within the development and to prevent the common facilities from becoming a public nuisance. Such entry and maintenance must not vest in the public any right to use the common facilities not dedicated to public use. Before the one year period expires, the commission must, upon its own initiative or upon written request of the organization theretofore responsible for maintenance, call a public meeting and give notice of such meeting to the organization responsible for maintenance or the property owners’ of the development. At the meeting, the organization responsible for maintenance and/or the residents of the development may show cause why maintenance by the city should not be continued for a succeeding year. If the city commission determines that it is not necessary for the city to continue such maintenance, the city must cease such maintenance at the time established by the city commission. Otherwise the city must continue maintenance for the next succeeding year subject to a similar meeting and determination at the end of each year thereafter. a. The cost of maintenance by the city must be a lien against the common facilities of the development and the private properties within the development. The city commission must have the right to make assessments against properties in the development on the same basis that the organization responsible for maintenance of the facilities could make such assessments. Any unpaid assessment must be a lien against the property responsible for the same, enforceable the same as a mortgage against such property. The city may further foreclose its lien on the common facility by certifying the same to the county treasurer for collection as in the case of collection of general property taxes. b. Should the property owners’ association request that the city assume permanent responsibility for maintenance of facilities, all facilities must be brought to city standards prior to the city assuming responsibility. The assumption of responsibility must be by action of the city commission and all costs to bring facilities to city standards must be the responsibility of the property owners’ association. The city may create special financing mechanisms so that those properties within the area affected by the property owners’ association continue to bear the costs of maintenance. c. The city must assume permanent responsibility for maintenance of public areas and facilities when a dedicated funding mechanism is adopted. 7. Guarantee for open space preservation. Open space shown on the approved final plan or plat must not be used for the construction of any structures not shown on the final plan. 8. Covenants may not contain provisions which inhibit compliance with the requirements of division 38.380, for those developments subject to division 38. 380. Some examples are: privately required minimum home or lot sizes which can not be met. 9. Covenants and condominium declaration documents must require condominiums to be assigned street addresses in compliance with chapter 10, article 7 BMC. Addressing must not use X or other generic statements. Draft documents submitted for review prior to final approval must include correct addresses. 10. Stormwater facilities maintenance as required by chapter 40 article 4 BMC. Part 3: Noticing Sec.38.220.400. – Purpose.

Sec. 38.230.010. - Introduction. (38.19.010) A. All non-subdivision development proposals within the city will be subject to plan review and approval except repair, maintenance, grading below the minimum defined limits of this chapter, and interior remodeling, or other items specifically exempted in this chapter. Depending on the complexity of development and status of proposed use in the applicable zoning district, either sketch plans, site plans, master site plans, special use permits, or conditional use permits (referred to herein as a "plan") will be required as specified in this division 38.230. Although work may be exempt from zoning review it may require review for other permits before construction may begin. B. Special development proposals (e.g., PUDs, CUPs, variances, etc.) require other information to be submitted in conjunction with plans and are subject to requirements specific to the type of proposal. These additional submittal requirements and review procedures are outlined in section 38.230.030. C. When a development is proposed within a neighborhood conservation or entryway corridor overlay district or historic district, or proposes signs which do not specifically conform to the requirements of this chapter, design review is required in conjunction with plan review per the authority in section 38.210.010. In such cases, additional submittal requirements and review procedures apply as outlined in section 38.220.090. D. Conditional uses. Certain uses, while generally not suitable in a particular zoning district, may, under certain circumstances, be acceptable. When such circumstances can be demonstrated by the applicant to exist, a conditional use permit may be granted by the review authority. Conditions may be applied to the issuance of the permit and periodic review may be required. No conditional use permit must be granted for a use which is not specifically designated as a conditional use in this chapter. E. Approval must will be granted for a particular use and not for a particular person or firm. F. This division 38.230 is provided to meet the purposes of section 38.100.040 and all other relevant portions of this chapter. G. Applications subject to this division 38.230 must beare reviewed under the authority established by division 38.200 of this chapter.

A plan must may be approved by the review authority prior to the issuance of any building permit. C. No occupancy permits must be issued for any development for which plan review is required until certification has been provided under section 38.270.030 demonstrating that all terms and conditions of plan approval have been complied with. D. Unless a deviation or variance is explicitly sought and granted in association with a plan, all standards of this chapter apply whether explicitly mentioned in the record of the review or not. An omission or oversight of a nonconformity with the standards of this chapter in the site plan must does not constitute approval of such nonconformance. Any nonconformance which was not the subject of an explicitly approved deviation or variance may be required to be cured at such time the city becomes aware of the nonconforming condition's existence. E. In the event that the volume of site development applications submitted for review exceeds the ability of the city to process them simultaneously, preference in order of scheduling will be given to BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 83 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft those projects which provide the most affordable housing in excess of minimum requirements, as measured by the total number of affordable units. F. When a development subject to this article is located within an overlay district established by division 38.340 of this chapter a certificate of appropriateness is required in addition to other required review procedures. G. Public notice of development proposals and approvals subject to this article must be provided as required by division 38.220 of this chapter. H. Improvements depicted on an approved plan must be installed subject to the requirements of division 38.270 of this chapter. Sec. 38.230.060. - Special temporary use permit. (38.19.060) A. Generally. Uses permitted subject to a special temporary use permit are those temporary uses which are required for the proper function of the community or are temporarily required in the process of establishing a permitted use, constructing a public facility or providing for response to an emergency.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 84 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.230.070. - Sketch plan review. (38.19.070) A. Sketch plan submittal requirements. 1. Certain independent development proposals (i.e., not in conjunction with other development) are required to submit only sketch plans which include the information specified in section 38.220.110. 2. Separate construction plans are necessary for building permits when the proposal requires such permits. Additional information is also necessary when the proposal requires the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness (see sections 38.230.080 and 38.220.090). 3. Examples of independent projects which qualify for sketch plan review are: a. individual single-household including manufactured homes on individual lots. b. Adding one dwelling on an infill site. c. Two-household, three-household, and four-household residential units, each on individual lots and independent of other site development. d. Accessory dwelling units in the R-2, R-3 and R-4 districts. e. Fences; signs in compliance with the requirements of this chapter. f. Regulated activities in areas with regulated wetlands not in conjunction with a land development proposal. g.

Reuse, change in use, or further development of sites per section 38.230.150, essential services Type II primarily underground with no above ground structures larger than 125 square feet; and accessory structures associated with these uses. Other similar projects may be determined by the community development director to require only sketch plan review. The community development director may determine submittal requirements in addition to those in section 38.220.110. Projects which do not require sketch plan review may still require review and permitting for non-zoning issues. B. Sketch plan review procedures. 1. No certificate of appropriateness required. Sketch plans for projects which do not require a certificate of appropriateness must be submitted to the community development department for a determination of compliance with the requirements of this chapter. Once compliance is achieved, the application will be approved for construction or referred to the appropriate permitting authorities. In determining whether compliance is achieved the community development department must consider the individual circumstances of the site when the development is subject to section 38.230.150. 2. Certificate of appropriateness required. Sketch plans, including the material required by section 38.220.090, and such additional information as may be required for projects which require a certificate of appropriateness as per section 38.230.080 must be submitted to the community development department, who must review the proposal for compliance with this chapter, including compliance with the applicable overlay district requirements. Once compliance is achieved, the application will be approved for construction or referred to the appropriate permitting authorities. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 85 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. Sketch plan review criteria. Sketch plans must be reviewed for compliance with all applicable requirements of this chapter including overlay district requirements and the cessation of any current violations of this chapter, exclusive of any legal nonconforming conditions. Plan changes may be required. Where appropriate, the city may approve a sketch plan with restrictions which limit the duration of the use. Sec. 38.230.080. - Certificates of appropriateness—Additional review procedures and review criteria. (38.19.080) A. Sign proposals which do not specifically conform to the requirements of this chapter. Independent sign proposals (i.e., not in conjunction with other development) which do not specifically conform to the requirements of this chapter, are required to submit full site plans. Additional site design information, in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the design objective plan, encompassing the property's location must be provided. B. Review procedures and criteria for certificates of appropriateness. 1. Certificates of appropriateness must be issued according to procedures and criteria specified in divisions 38.210, 38.340 and 38.430, in addition to this chapter. 2. Sign proposals which specifically conform to the requirements of this chapter must be reviewed according to procedures and criteria outlined in division 38.560 of this chapter. C. Demolition or movement of historic structures or sites located outside of the neighborhood conservation overlay district. 1. Demolition or movement of historic structures or sites located outside of the neighborhood conservation overlay district must be reviewed according to procedures and criteria outlined in 38.340.080. 2. Certificates of appropriateness must be issued according to procedures and criteria specified in divisions 38.200, 38.340, and 38.430 as applicable, in addition to this article. Sec. 38.230.090. - Plan review procedures. (38.19.090) A. Step 1: Conceptual Review/Informal Review.. 1. Conceptual Review (Required): a. Purpose. Conceptual review is an opportunity for an applicant to discuss requirements, standards and procedures that apply to his or her development proposal. Major problems can be identified and solved during conceptual review before a formal application is made. Conceptual review applications are reviewed by the Development Review Committee and comments are provided in writing to the applicant following the review. The primary focus of conceptual review is to identify site specific challenges and/or constraints critical path elements which will affect review process or submittal requirements. b. Applicability. Conceptual review is required for development subject to 38.19.050230.050 and not subject to 38.210.070. Conceptual review may be waived by the director of community development for development proposals that would not derive substantial benefit from such review. c. Concept Plan Submittal. An applicant must submit the application materials required by the director of community development as provided in the conceptual review checklist. d. Staff Review and Recommendation. Upon receipt of a concept plan, and after review of such plan by the DRC and a subsequent meeting with the applicant, the director of community development must furnish the applicant with written comments regarding such plan, including BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 86 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft appropriate recommendations to inform and assist the applicant prior to preparing the components of the formal development application. e. Formal application must address the comments provided with the conceptual review. B. Informal Review (Optional): 1. Purpose. Informal review is an opportunity for an applicant to discuss the requirements, standards, procedures, and potential modifications of standards or variances that may be necessary for a development project. While the conceptual review process is a general consideration of the development proposal, informal review provides an opportunity for the applicant to have the city consider the development proposal in greater detail prior to formal submittal of an application. Problems of both a major and minor nature can be identified during the informal review before a formal application is made. Informal review applications are reviewed by the DRC and may be reviewed by the, DRB, recreation and parks advisory board, or other applicable advisory boards. The city may invite other public or quasi-public agencies which may be impacted by the development to comment and/or attend the informal review meeting. These agencies may include the gas and electric utilities, state agencies, ditch companies, railroads, cable television service providers and other similar agencies. 2. Applicability. Although an informal review is not required, an applicant may request informal review for any development proposal. A request for informal review is made by filing an application with accompanying fee. 3. Informal Review Submittal. In conjunction with an informal review, the applicant must submit all documents required in the informal review checklist. 4. Staff Review and Recommendation. Upon receipt of a complete informal review proposal, and after review of such proposal by the DRC or other applicable advisory board, the director of community development must furnish the applicant with written comments and recommendations regarding such proposal. In conjunction with the foregoing, the director of community development must will provide the applicant with a list of critical issues, if any, which have been identified in the informal review and which must be resolved prior to or during the review process of the formal development application. The list of critical issues will provide applicants the opinion of the director of community development regarding the development proposal, as that opinion is established based upon the facts presented during informal review. Formal application must address the comments provided with the informal review. C. Step 2: Development Application Submittal 1. Development Application Forms. All development applications must be in a form established by the director of community development. 2. Fees. All fees established in the adopted fee schedule must be paid prior to the review authority commencing review of the application. D. Step 3: Review of Applications. Acceptability and adequacy of application. 1. The community development department must review the application for acceptability within five working days to determine if the application is does not omitomits any of the submittal elements required by this chapter. If the application does not contain all of the required elements, the application, review fee and a written explanation of what the application is missing must be returned to the property owner or their representative. The five working day review period will be considered met if the letter is dated, signed and placed in the outgoing mail BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 87 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft written explanation is provided as a signed and dated letter placed in the outgoing mail or as electronic communication (such as an email) within the five-day review period. 2. After the application is deemed to contain the required elements and to be acceptable, it must be reviewed for adequacy. A determination of adequacy means the application contains all of the required elements in sufficient detail and accuracy to enable the review authority to make a determination that the application either does or does not conform to the requirements of this chapter and any other applicable regulations under the jurisdiction of the city. The adequacy review period must begins on the next working day after the date that the community development department determines the application to contain all the required elements and must be completed within not more than 15 working days. The 15 working day review period will be considered met if the letter is dated, signed and placed in the outgoing mail within the 15 working day review period. If the application is inadequate, a written explanation of why the application is inadequate will be returned provided to the property owner. a. In the event the missing information is not received by the city within 15 working days of notification to the property owner and applicant of inadequacy, all application materials except file records and one-half of the review fee must will be returned to the property owner or their representative, unless a longer period is agreed between city and applicant. Subsequent resubmittal must requires payment of a review fee as if it were a new application. b. A determination that an application is adequate does not restrict the city from requesting additional information during the site plan review process. 3. Should the property owner choose not to provide the required information after an application has been found unacceptable, nor to accept return of the application and accompanying fee, the application may be processed by the city with the recognition by the property owner that unacceptability is an adequate basis for denial of the application regardless of other merit of the application. 4. The DRC may grant reasonable waivers from submittal of application materials required by these regulations where it is found that these regulations allow a waiver to be requested and granted. In order to be granted a waiver the applicant must include with the submission of the preliminary plan a written statement describing the requested waiver and the reasons upon which the request is based. The final approval body must then consider each waiver at the time the preliminary site plan is reviewed. All waivers must be identified not later than initial submittal of the preliminary site plan stage of review. If in the opinion of the final approvalreview authority the waived materials are necessary for proper review of the development, the materials must be provided before review is completed. E. Plans must be reviewed by the review bodies established by division 38.210 of this chapter and according to the procedures established by this chapter. Prior to a recommendation of approval by the DRC, the DRC must make a determination that the application does conform to the requirements of this chapter. After review of the applicable submittal materials required by division 38.220 of this chapter, and upon recommendation by the appropriate advisory bodies, the review authority must act to approve, approve with conditions or deny the application, subject to the appeal provisions of division 38.250 of this chapter. The basis for the review authority's action must be whether the application, including any required conditions, complies with all the applicable standards and requirements of this chapter, including section 38.100.050. 1. Plan. The review authority must provide an opportunity for the public to comment upon development proposals. The duration of the initial comment period must be as required by division 38.220 of this chapter and included in any notice. required by division 38.270 of this chapter. The comment period must be from the date of the first consideration of the complete BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 88 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft preliminary plan and supplementary materials by the DRC until 5:00 pm on the third working day after DRC and other review bodies as may be appropriate have taken action regarding the proposal. a. The review authority after receiving the recommendations of the advisory bodies and considering any public comment must act to approve, approve with conditions or deny an application within ten working days of the close of the public comment period. The decision must be in writing and must include any special conditions which are to be applied to the development. (1) After formal notice of a project review has been given, interested parties may request in writing to receive a copy of the decision regarding an application. Persons making such a request must provide an addressed envelope. 2. Plan with deviations or variances or conditional use permits. The review authority must provide an opportunity for the public to comment upon a proposed plan. The notice must be as required bycomply with the requirements of division 38.220 of this chapter. a. The review authority, after receiving the recommendations of the advisory bodies and considering any public comment must act to approve, approve with conditions or deny an application. The decision must be in writing and must include any special conditions which are to be applied to the development. 3. Phasing. The entitlement period for which a final plan is valid is specified in section 38.230.140. Preliminary single phase plan applications will only be accepted for development that can occur under building permits issued within this final plan approval period. a. Any development that includes phases or where construction of a building would extend past the final plan approval period must proceed under the master site plan application process with a first phase plan for those portions that can be constructed under the single phase final plan approval. The master site plan and first phase site plan may be reviewed concurrently as a single application. Each future project phase must submit a stand-alone site plan application following initial master site plan approval. b. Each phase of a plan must not include more buildings than will be constructed within a one- year timeframe. These subsequent site plan applications may be expedited through the review process if they are consistent with the master site plan. Independent fees will be assessed for each required application. c. A preliminary site plan application may be received where it is unclear whether the buildings or units can be constructed under building permits issued within one year of final site plan approval. In this case, the director of community development may request proof of a construction financing commitment prior to accepting the application. Applications, where it is clear that the buildings or units cannot be constructed under building permits issued within one year of final site plan approval will be deemed unacceptable for review. Such applications must proceed pursuant to a master site plan with first phase site plan process. Sec. 38.230.100. - Plan review criteria. (38.19.100) A. In considering applications for plan approval under this chapter, the review authority and advisory bodies must consider the following criteria. When considering the criteria for future phases of a master site plan, other than those for criteria 1—3, the evaluation must may be of a more generalized demonstration of compliance, recognizing that a subsequent site plan must will be submitted in the future which must will provide evidence of specific compliance. The level of detail BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 89 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft submitted and review conducted mustwill be equal with the level of entitlement being sought with the application.

If the review authority, after recommendation from the applicable advisory bodies, determines the proposed plan will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the community, is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter, and is in harmony with the purposes and intent of this chapter and the Bozeman growth policy, the review authority must approve the proposed plan and may require conditions and safeguards that must be met prior to final approval as deemed necessary. Notice of action must be given in writing. C. Plan approval may be denied upon a determination the application does not meet the criteria of this section. Persons objecting to the recommendations of review bodies carry the burden of proof. A denial of approval must be in writing. D. Following approval of a master site plan, the applicant must submit to the community development department, sequential individual site plans for specific areas within the master site plan. Each subsequent application for a site plan must be consistent with the approved master site plan and subject to the review criteria set forth in subsection A above. Evidence that the review criteria have been met through the master site plan review process may be incorporated by reference in order to eliminate duplication of review. Sec. 38.230.110. - Conditional use permit. (38.19.110) A. The person applying for a conditional use permit must fill out and submit to the community development department the appropriate form with the required fee. The request for a conditional use permit must follow the procedures and application requirements of this division 38.230. B. In consideration of all conditional use permit applications, a public hearing must be conducted by the review authority. Notice of the public hearing must be provided in accordance with article 2 of this chapter. C. If a rezoning is required prior to approval of a conditional use permit, the application for rezoning and the conditional use permit may be filed and acted upon simultaneously, however the conditional use permit must is not be effective until the rezoning has been implemented by ordinance. D. The review authority, in approving a conditional use permit, must review the application against the review requirements of section 38.230.100. E. In addition to the review criteria of section 38.230.100, the review authority must, in approving a conditional use permit, determine favorably as follows: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to accommodate such use, and all setbacks, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate to properly relate such use with the land and uses in the vicinity; 2. That the proposed use will have no material adverse effect upon the abutting property. Persons objecting to the recommendations of review bodies carry the burden of proof; 3. That any additional conditions stated in the approval are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to: a.

If an application is denied, the denial must constitutes a determination that the applicant has not shown that the conditions required for approval do exist. H. The applicant must be notified in writing of the final action taken within seven working days of the action. If the conditional use permit has been granted the notification must include any conditions, automatic termination date, period of review or other requirements. If the conditional use permit has been granted, the permit must will be issued upon the signature of the community development director after completion of all conditions and final plan. I. Termination/revocation of conditional use permit approval. 1. Conditional use permits are approved based on an analysis of current local circumstances and regulatory requirements. Over time these things may change and the use may no longer be appropriate to a location. A conditional use permit will be considered as terminated and of no further effect if: a. After having been commenced, the approved use is not actively conducted on the site for a period of two continuous calendar years; b. Final zoning approval to reuse the property for another principal or conditional use is granted; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 93 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. The use or development of the site is not begun within the time limits of the final site plan approval in section 38.230.140. 2. A conditional use which has terminated may be reestablished on a site by either, the review and approval of a new conditional use permit application, or a determination by the community development director that the local circumstances and regulatory requirements are essentially the same as at the time of the original approval. A denial of renewal by the community development director may not be appealed. If the community development director determines that the conditional use permit may be renewed on a site then any conditions of approval of the original conditional use permit are also renewed. 3. If activity begins for which a conditional use permit has been given final approval, all activities must comply with any conditions of approval or code requirements. Should there be a failure to maintain compliance the city may revoke the approval through the procedures outlined in section 38.200.160. Sec. 38.230.120. - Special use permit. (new) A. The person applying for a special use permit must fill out and submit to the community development department the appropriate form with the required fee. The request for a special use permit must follow the procedures and application requirements of this division 38.230. B. The review authority, in approving a special use permit, must review the application against the review requirements of section 38.230.100. C. In addition to the review criteria of section 38.230.100, the review authority must, in approving a special use permit, determine favorably that applications meet the review criteria set forth for conditional use permits as set forth in subsections 38.230.110.E through I. Sec. 38.230.130. – Community design framework master plans. (new) A. The person applying for a community design framework master plan must fill out and submit to the community development department the appropriate form with the required fee. The request for a community design framework master plan must follow the procedures and application requirements of this division 38.230. B. The review authority, in approving a community design framework master plan, must review the application against the review requirements of sections 38.230.100 and 38.510.030.L. C. Applications for community design framework master plans may be approved or denied by the review authority. Sec. 38.230.140. - Final plan. (38.19.120) A. If the review authority is the city commission, no later than six months after the date of the commission’s approval of the plan, the applicant must submit to the community development department a final plan. The number of copies of the final plan to be submitted must beis established by the director of community development. The final plan must contain the materials required in sections 38.220.080 and 38.220.090 and whatever revisions to the preliminary site plan or master site plan are required to comply with any conditions of approval. Prior to the passage of six months, the applicant may seek an extension of not more than an additional six months from the director of community development. B. In addition to the materials required in subsection A of this section, the applicant must submit a certification of completion and compliance stating that they understand any conditions of approval BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 94 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft and the submitted final plans have complied with any conditions of approval or corrections to comply with code provisions. C. If a plan is fully compliant with all applicable standards the review authority may approve the final plan after the close of the public comment period. In addition to the materials required in subsections A and B of this section, the owner must submit a statement of intent to construct according to the final plan. Such statement must acknowledge that construction not in compliance with the approved final plan may result in delays of occupancy or costs to correct noncompliance. D. Following approval of a final plan, the approval of the final plan must beis effective for one year. Prior to the passage of one year, the applicant may seek an extension of not more than one additional year. In such instances, the director of community development must determine whether the relevant terms of this chapter and circumstances have significantly changed since the initial approval. If relevant terms of this chapter or circumstances have significantly changed, the extension of the approval may not be granted. E. Following approval of a final master site plan, approval of the final master site plan is effective for not less than three but not more than five years with the initial duration to be specified during the final action of the review authority. Owners of property subject to the master site plan may seek extensions to not exceed five years. Approval of an extension must be granted if the director of community development determines the criteria of subsection F of this section are met. F. Any request for an extension must be in writing and be dated and signed by the owner of the undeveloped area or incomplete development for which the extension is sought. More than one extension may be requested for a particular development. Each request must be considered on its individual merits. An extension of the development approval under this division 38.230 does not extend other city or non-city agency approvals, e.g. for design of infrastructure extensions, necessary to complete the project. When evaluating an extension request, the city must consider: 1. Changes to the development regulations since the original approval and whether the development as originally approved substantially complies with the new regulations; 2. Progress to date in completing the development as a whole and any phases; 3. Phasing of the development and the ability for existing development to operate without the delayed development; 4. Dependence by other development on any public infrastructure or private improvements to be installed by the development; 5. For extensions of approval greater than one year, the demonstrated ability of the developer to complete the development; 6. Overall maintenance of the site; and 7. Whether mitigation for impacts of the development identified during the preliminary plan review remain relevant, adequate, and applicable to the present circumstances of the development and community. G. Upon approval of the final plan by the community development director the applicant may obtain a building permit as provided for by division 38.220 of this chapter. 1. Subsequent site plan approvals are required to implement a master site plan, and approval of a master site plan only does not entitle an applicant to obtain any building permits. Sec. 38.230.150. - Amendments to plans. (38.19.130) A. It is the intent of this section to assure that issues of community concern are addressed during the redevelopment, reuse or change in use of existing facilities in the community. Specific areas of BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 95 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft community concern include public safety, mitigation of off-site environmental impacts and site character in relation to surroundings. The following procedures for amendments to approved plans, reuse of existing facilities and further development of sites assure that these concerns are adequately and expeditiously addressed. B. Any amendment to or modification of a plan approved under the ordinance codified in this division 38.230 (September 3, 1991 — Ordinance 1332) must be submitted to the community development director for review and possible approval. Proposals for further development, reuse or change in use of sites developed pursuant to this chapter must be reviewed as an amendment to an approved plan. All amendments must be shown on a revised plan drawing. Amendments to approved plans must be reviewed and may be approved by the community development director upon determining that the amended plan is in substantial compliance with the originally approved plan. If it is determined that the amended plan is not in substantial compliance with the originally approved plan, the application must be resubmitted as a new application and must will be subject to all standards and plan review and approval provisions of this chapter. Substantial compliance may be shown by demonstrating that the amendments do not exceed the thresholds established in section 38.230.140.C. C. Modifications or amendments to a master site plan at the time an extension of approval is sought may be proposed by either the applicant or the review authority, and must be based on substantive current information that indicates that relevant circumstances have changed and that such circumstances support the proposed modifications. Such circumstances may include market analyses, economic conditions, changes in surrounding land uses, changes in ownership, etc. D. For building additions and/or remodels to all existing development, except single to four-, two, and three-household dwellings in any configuration, see section 38.500.020.B to determine how the design standards within article 5 are applied. Sec. 38.230.160. - Reuse, change in use or further development of sites developed prior to the adoption date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived. (38.19.140) A. It is the policy of the city to work with owners of property during the reuse, change in use, or further development process to correct existing violations of the city's and other agency's regulations, to encourage reinvestment and renewal of existing developed sites, and to move existing sites toward compliance with current standards while recognizing the limitations that may exist in relation to an existing site. B. Sites legally developed prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter (September 3, 1991 — Ordinance 1332) must beare considered to have developed under an approved plan. Proposals for reuse, change in use or the further development of sites legally developed prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter may be approved by the review authority upon determining that no significant alteration of the previous use and site are proposed, and upon a determination that adequate access and site surface drainage are provided. All such proposals must be shown on a plan drawing as required by section 38.220.110. C. The criteria for determining that no significant alteration of the previous use and site will result from the proposed reuse, change in use or further development of a site must include but not be limited to the following: 1. The proposed use is allowed under the same zoning district use classification as the previous use, however replacement of nonconforming uses must comply with the provisions of division 38.270 of this chapter; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 96 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. Changes proposed for the site, singly or cumulatively, do not increase lot coverage by buildings, storage areas, parking areas or impervious surfaces and/or do not result in an increase in intensity of use as measured by parking requirements, traffic generation or other measurable off-site impacts; a. By more than 20 percent for developments not meeting one or more of the criteria of section 38.230.040.C; or b. By more than ten percent for developments meeting or exceeding one or more of the criteria of section 38.230.040.C; 3. The proposed use does not continue any unsafe or hazardous conditions previously existing on the site or associated with the proposed use of the property. D. If it is determined that the proposed reuse, change in use or further development of a site contains significant alterations to the previous use and/or site, the application must be resubmitted as a new application and must will be subject to all plan review and approval provisions of this division 38.230. E. When proposals for reuse, change in use or further development of a site are located in the neighborhood conservation or entryway corridor overlay districts, review by ADR staff or the DRB may be required to determine whether resubmittal as a new application is necessary. F. For building additions and/or remodels to all existing development, except single to four-, two, and three-household dwellings in any configuration, see section 38.500.020.B to determine how the design standards within article 5 are applied. Sec. 38.230.170. - Improvements to existing developed sites independent of site plan review. (38.19.150) The continued improvement of existing developed sites is desired to increase the level of compliance with the provisions of this chapter and to encourage maintenance and viability of the site. An applicant may propose improvements, not in association with a plan review, to increase conformity with the standards of this chapter for landscaping, lighting, parking or similar components of a site to occur over a defined period of time, not to exceed three years. Such improvements must be depicted on a site plan drawn to scale and which must be sufficiently detailed to clearly depict the current conditions, the intended end result of the proposed improvements and any phasing of work. Such improvements must be reviewed by and approved at the discretion of the review authority which may require surety in accordance with the terms of division 38.270 of this chapter for work performed. A certificate of appropriateness may be required if the site is located within the entryway overlay district or the neighborhood conservation overlay district. Sec. 38.230.180. - Building permits based upon approved sketch or site plans. (38.19.160) Based upon the approved sketch or final plan and after any appeals have been resolved, a building permit for the site may be requested and may be granted pursuant to division 38.220 of this chapter. No building permit may be granted on the basis of an approved sketch or other plan whose approval has expired. Sec. 38.230.190. - Appeals. (38.19.170) Appeals of decisions rendered in conjunction with this division 38.230 may be taken as set forth in division 38.250 of this chapter. 38.240 Subdivision Procedures (Articles 2-6) FOOTNOTE(S): BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 97 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft --- (2) --- State Law reference— Montana Subdivision and Platting Act, MCA 76-3-101 et seq.

The community development department must review a subdivision application within five working days of receipt of the application and applicable fee. A subdivision application is considered to be received on the date of delivery to the reviewing agency if it is accompanied by the applicable review fee. An application is acceptable only if it contains all of the information required by this chapter. If the application is unacceptable, the application, and a written explanation of why the application is unacceptable will be returned to the subdivider. If the application is acceptable the subdivider must be so notified. The property owner may designate in writing another party to receive notifications regarding acceptability. The five working day review period must be consideredis met if the letter is dated, signed and placed in the outgoing mail within the five working day review period. If the applicant chooses to withdraw the application, the applicant may request a refund if procedures for such have been created in the administrative manual adopted by the director of community development. Subsequent resubmittal must require payment of a review fee as if it were a new application. b. After the application is deemed acceptable it must be reviewed for adequacy. The review for adequacy must be conducted by the appropriate agency with expertise in the subject matter. The adequacy review period must begins on the next working day after the date that the community development department determines the application is acceptable and sends the required notice to the subdivider; and must be completed within not more than 15 working days.

After an application is deemed acceptable, the community development department may submit copies of the preliminary plat and supplementary information to relevant public utilities and public agencies for review and comment, and for major subdivisions to the planning board for its advice pertaining to the approval or denial of the subdivision application. Review by public agencies or utilities must not delay the city commission's consideration of the subdivision application beyond the statutorily specified review period. If the community development department must request review by a public utility, agency of government, and other parties regarding the subdivision application that was not identified during the pre-application review the community development department must notify the subdivider. 3. Planning board review. At a regularly noticed public hearing, the planning board must review all major subdivision applications, together with required supplementary plans and information, and determine whether the plat is in compliance with the city's growth policy. The planning board must hold a public hearing on all major subdivisions. Pursuant to MCA 76-1-107, the planning board has delegated its review of all minor subdivisions from a tract of record to the community development director. a. Public testimony.

The community development director must make a written recommendation including a summary of the agency review and analysis of the review criteria established in this chapter and a recommendation for approval, conditional approval or denial of the subdivision application. a. Public testimony. All written public comment received during the community development director's review must be incorporated into the written record of the review. Copies of written comments must be included in any recommendation made to the city commission by the community development director. 5. City commission review. The city commission must review and take action on all proposed subdivisions. a. The following requirements for a public hearing or a public meeting, and for statutory review periods, must be met: (1) First minor subdivision created from a tract of record. The city commission must consider the subdivision application and the community development director's recommendation during a regular public meeting of the commission. The city commission, when legal and physical access is provided to all lots must approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision application of a first minor subdivision within 35 working days of the determination that the application is adequate, unless there is a written extension from the developer for a period not to exceed one year BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 103 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft from the date the application was determined to be adequate. A minor subdivision must be reviewed as a second or subsequent minor subdivision if the tract has been previously subdivided or created by a subdivision; or the tract has descended from a tract of record which has previously been divided by exemption or other means into 6 or more tracts of record since July 1, 1973. (a) Variance requests for minor subdivisions. If the developer of a minor subdivision is requesting a variance from any requirement of this chapter, the procedures of section 38.250.0870 must be followed except that a public hearing must not be held. (2) Subdivisions eligible for summary review. The city commission must consider the application and the community development director's recommendation during a regular public meeting of the commission. The city commission must approve, conditionally approve or deny a proposed subdivision that is eligible for summary review within 35 working days of determination that the application is adequate, unless there is a written extension from the developer. The written extension may not exceed one year.

(4) Major subdivisions. For a major subdivision, the city commission must hold a public hearing on the subdivision application. The city commission must approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision application within 60 working days of the determination that the application is adequate for review if the subdivision has less than 50 lots, and within 80 working days of the determination that the application is adequate for review if the subdivision has 50 or more lots, unless there is a written extension from the developer, not to exceed one year from the date the application was determined to be adequate. (5) Public testimony. All written public comment received at a public meeting or public hearing prior to a decision to approval, approve with conditions, or deny a subdivision application must be incorporated into the written record of the review. Minutes must be taken of verbal comments received during the public hearing before the city commission and must be incorporated into the written record of the review maintained by the city. (6) New and credible information. The city commission must determine whether public comments or documents presented to the city commission at a public hearing regarding a subdivision application held pursuant to section 38.240.130.A.5 constitute: (a) Information or analysis of information that was presented at a public hearing held pursuant to section 38.240.130.A.5 that the public has had a reasonable opportunity to examine and on which the public has had a reasonable opportunity to comment; or BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 104 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (b) New information regarding a subdivision application that has never been submitted as evidence or considered by either the city commission, planning board or by city staff at a hearing during which the subdivision application was considered. (c) If the city commission determines that the public comments or documents constitute new information not previously considered at a public hearing, the city commission may: (i) Approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposed subdivision without basing its decision on the new information if the governing body determines that the new information is either irrelevant or not credible; or (ii) Schedule or direct its agent or agency to schedule a subsequent public hearing before the city commission for consideration of only the new information that may have an impact on the findings and conclusions that the governing body will rely upon in making its decision on the proposed subdivision. (iii) In deciding whether the information is both new and credible the city commission must consider: (A) Whether the topic of the information has previously been examined or available for examination at a public hearing on the subdivision application; (B) Whether the information is verifiable, and if applicable developed by a person with professional competency in the subject matter; (C) Whether the information is relevant to a topic within the jurisdiction of the city. (d) If a subsequent public hearing is held to consider new and credible information, the 60 working day review period required in section 38.240.130.A.5 is suspended and the new hearing must be noticed and held within 45 working days of the governing body's determination to schedule a new hearing. After the new hearing, the otherwise applicable time limit for review resumes at the governing body's next scheduled public meeting for which proper notice for the public hearing on the subdivision application can be provided. The governing body may not consider any information regarding the subdivision application that is presented after the hearing when making its decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposed subdivision. b. Criteria for city commission action. The basis for the city commission's decision to approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision must be whether the subdivision application, public hearing if required, planning board advice and recommendation and additional information demonstrates that development of the subdivision complies with this chapter, the city's growth policy, the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act and other adopted state and local ordinances, including, but not limited to, applicable zoning requirements. The city commission may not deny approval of a subdivision based solely on the subdivision's impacts on educational services; or based solely on parcels within the subdivision having been designated as wildland-urban interface parcels by the most recent city-adopted hazard mitigation plan and its supporting documentation. When deciding to approve, conditionally approve or deny a subdivision application, the city commission must: (1) Review the preliminary plat, together with required supplementary plans and information, to determine if it meets the requirements of this chapter, the development standards and policies of the city's growth policy, the Montana Subdivision and Platting BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 105 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Act, and other adopted state laws and local ordinances, including but not limited to applicable zoning requirements. (2) Consider written comments from appropriate public agencies, utilities or other members of the public. (3) Consider the following: (a) Relevant evidence relating to the public health, safety and welfare; (b) Other regulations, code provisions or policies in effect in the area of the proposed subdivision; (c) The recommendation of the advisory bodies; and (d) Any relevant public testimony. (4) When the subdivision does not qualify, pursuant to MCA 76-4-125(2), for the certification established in section 38.240.100 the city commission may conditionally approve or deny a proposed subdivision as a result of the water and sanitation information provided pursuant to section 38.220.050.A.9. or public comment received pursuant to MCA 76-3-604 on the information provided pursuant to section 38.220.050. A conditional approval or denial must be based on existing subdivision, zoning, or other regulations that the city commission has the authority to enforce. (5) The city may not approve a proposed subdivision if any of the features and improvements of the subdivision encroach onto adjoining private property in a manner that is not otherwise provided for under Title 76, chapters 3 or 4, MCA, or if the well isolation zone of any proposed well to be drilled for the proposed subdivision encroaches onto adjoining private property unless the owner of the private property authorizes the encroachment. For the purposes of this section, "well isolation zone" has the meaning provided in 76-4-102, MCA. c. City commission action. If the city commission denies or conditionally approves the subdivision application, it must forward one copy of the plat to the developer accompanied by a letter over the appropriate signature stating the reason for disapproval or enumerating the conditions that must be met to ensure approval of the final plat. This written statement must include: (1) The reason for the denial or condition imposition; (2) The evidence that justifies the denial or condition imposition; and (3) Information regarding the appeal process for the denial or condition imposition. d. Mitigation. The city commission may require the developer to design the subdivision to reasonably minimize potentially significant adverse impacts identified through the review required by this chapter. The city commission must issue written findings to justify the reasonable mitigation required by this chapter. The city commission may not unreasonably restrict a landowner's ability to develop land, but it is recognized that in some instances the unmitigated impacts of a proposed development may be unacceptable and will preclude approval of the plat. When requiring mitigation under this subsection, the city commission must consult with the developer and must give due weight and consideration to the expressed preference of the developer. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 106 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft e. Findings of fact. Within 30 working days of the final action to approve, deny, or approve with conditions a subdivision, the city commission must issue written findings of fact that discuss and weigh the following criteria, as applicable (pursuant to MCA 76-3-608): (1) Criteria. (a) Compliance with the survey requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act; (b) Compliance with this chapter and the review process of these regulations; (c) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation of any necessary utilities; (d) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel; and (e) For major subdivisions, the findings of fact must also address the effect on agriculture, agricultural water user facilities, local services, the natural environment, wildlife and wildlife habitat, and public health and safety. (2) Required components. The written findings of fact must contain at a minimum: (a) Information regarding the appeal process for the denial or imposition of conditions; (b) The regulations and statutes used in reaching the decision to deny or impose conditions and explains how they apply to the decision; (c) The facts and conclusions that the governing body relied upon in making its decision to deny or impose conditions. The documents, testimony, or other materials that form the basis of the decision and support the conclusions of the governing body may be incorporated into the written findings by reference. (3) Federal or state governmental entity input. If a federal or state governmental entity submits a written or oral comment or an opinion regarding wildlife, wildlife habitat, or the natural environment relating to a subdivision application for the purpose of assisting a governing body's review, the comment or opinion may be included in the governing body's written statement under this section only if the comment or opinion provides scientific information or a published study that supports the comment or opinion. A governmental entity that is or has been involved in an effort to acquire or assist others in acquiring an interest in the real property identified in the subdivision application must disclose that the entity has been involved in that effort prior to submitting a comment, an opinion, or information as provided in this subsection. f. Initial subdivision application approval period. Upon approving or conditionally approving a subdivision application, the city commission must provide the developer with a dated and signed findings of fact and order. This initial approval must be in force for not more than: (1) one calendar year for minor subdivisions, (2) two calendar years for single-phased major subdivisions (3) and three calendar years for multi-phased major subdivisions after the date of the findings of fact and order. At the end of this period, the city may, at the written request of the developer, extend its approval for a mutually agreed-upon period of time. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 107 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft g. Extensions of preliminary plat approval period. Any mutually agreed upon extension must be in writing and dated and signed by the subdivider or their authorized agent and by the city commission or their authorized agent. More than one extension may be requested for a particular subdivision. Each request must beis considered on its individual merits. An extension of the subdivision approval under this chapter does not extend other city or non- city agency approvals, e.g. for design of infrastructure extensions, necessary to complete the project. Review authority for extensions is established in division 38.220. When evaluating an extension request, the city must consider: (1) Changes to the development regulations since the original approval and whether the subdivision as originally approved is substantially essentially compliant with the new regulations; (2) Progress to date in completing the subdivision as a whole and any phases, including maintenance of the remainder of the site in good condition; (3) Phasing of the subdivision and the ability for existing development to operate without the delayed development; (4) Dependence by other development on any public infrastructure or private improvements to be installed by the subdivision; (5) Demonstrated ability of the subdivider to complete the subdivision; (6) Whether mitigation for impacts of the subdivision identified during the preliminary plat review and findings of fact and order remain relevant, adequate, and applicable to the present circumstances of the subdivision and community. h. Changes to conditions after approval. Upon written request of the developer, the city commission may amend conditions of subdivision application approval where it can be found that errors or changes beyond the control of the developer have rendered a condition unnecessary, impossible or illegal. Changes to conditions that are not unnecessary, impossible or illegal must beare subject to the provisions of section 38.100.070. (1) The written request must be submitted to the community development department. (2) The written consent of all purchasers of land (via contract for deed, etc.) must be included with the written request to amend conditions. (3) If it is an application for a major subdivision, the city commission must conduct a public hearing on the request. If it is an application for a minor subdivision, the city commission must consider the request at a regularly scheduled meeting. (a) If a public hearing is held, public notice of the hearing must be given in accordance with this chapter. (4) The city commission may approve the requested change if it meets the criteria set forth in this chapter. (5) The city commission must issue written findings of fact as required in this chapter.

Land subdivisions created by rent or lease, rather than sale, refer to areas that provide multiple spaces for manufactured homes, mobile homes or recreational camping vehicles regardless of the size of the area or whether the spaces will be made available for rent by the general public for a fee. The land must be owned as one parcel under single ownership, which can include a number of persons owning the property in common. Subsequent action to sell interests in less than the entirety of the development may necessitate review under Parts 5 and 6 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act prior to any sale. Land subdivisions created by rent or lease are not subject to this division 38.240 or the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act if: 1. They are developed on property which has been subdivided in compliance with Parts 5 and 6 of the Montana Subdivision and Platting act or which have a boundary documented by a certificate of survey recorded after July 1, 1973; and 2. They are reviewed as a site plan, conditional use permit, or planned unit development as described and authorized under this chapter; and 3. They comply with the adopted zoning regulations and other land development standards adopted by the city. B. DPHHS license. If a land subdivision by rent or lease, that will provide multiple spaces for manufactured homes, mobile homes or recreational camping vehicles is also a "campground," "trailer court," "work camp," or "youth camp" as defined below, the city must not grant final approval until the developer obtains a license for the facility from the state department of public health and human services (DPHHS) under MCA tit. 50, ch. 52. 1.

C. Surveying and filing requirements exemption. Land subdivisions created by rent or lease are exempt from the surveying and filing requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act. D. Buildings for lease or rent. A building or buildings created for lease or rent on a single lot is not a subdivision of land but must be in conformance with applicable zoning regulations. For this section "building" means a structure or a unit of a structure with a roof supported by columns or walls for the permanent or temporary housing or enclosure of persons or property or for the operation of a business. Except as provided in MCA 76-3-103(15) the term includes a recreational camping vehicle, mobile home, or cell tower. The term does not include a condominium or townhome.

A claimant seeking an exemption under the Act and this chapter must submit to the community development department a claim on the appropriate application form, including a signed certificate of exemption, together with evidence to support the claim and any other information required by this chapter. 2. Review. The community development department will review the claimed exemption to verify that it is the proper use of the claimed exemption. a. During this review, community development department staff will visit the proposed site, understand thoroughly the nature of all activity occurring on the site, and must identify any existing or potential zoning conflicts. The community development department must prepare a memo evaluating the claimed exemption against applicable review criteria, which must also be made available to the claimant or the claimant's representative. b. In assessing the claimant's purpose for the exemption, the community development department will evaluate all relevant circumstances including the nature of the claimant's business, the prior history of the particular tract in question, and the proposed configuration of the tract, if the proposed exemption transactions are completed. c. Where a rebuttable presumption is declared in this chapter, the presumption may be overcome by the claimant with evidence contrary to the presumption. If the community development department concludes that the evidence overcomes the presumption and that from all the circumstances the exemption is justified, the exemption will be allowed. On the other hand, iIf the community development department concludes that the presumption is not overcome and that from all the circumstances the exemption is not justified, the exemption will be disallowed. d. If the exemption is allowed, the community development department must so certify in a printed certificate on the certificate of survey or amended plat within 30 days of submission of a complete application. e. If the exemption is disallowed, the community development department must provide written notification, within 30 days of submission of a complete application, of its decision to the person claiming the exemption and to the county clerk and recorder. 3. Filing requirements. An amended plat or a certificate of survey of a division of land which is exempt from review must be filed within 180 days of the completion of the survey. a. Certificates of survey. A certificate of survey may not be filed by the county clerk and recorder unless it complies with the following procedures for divisions of land exempted from public review as subdivisions. Certificates of survey for divisions of land meeting the criteria set out in MCA 76-3-207, must meet the following requirements: (1) A certificate of survey of a division of land that would otherwise be a subdivision, but that is exempted from subdivision review under MCA 76-3-207, may not be filed by the county clerk and recorder unless it bears the acknowledged certificate of the property owner stating that the division of land is exempt from review as a subdivision and citing the applicable exemption. (2) If the exemption relied upon requires that the property owner enter into a covenant running with the land, the certificate of survey may not be filed unless it bears a signed and acknowledged recitation of the covenant. (3) If a certificate of survey invokes the exemption for gifts and sales to members of the landowner's immediate family, the certificate must indicate the name of the proposed BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 117 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft grantee, the relationship of the grantee to the landowner and the parcel to be conveyed to the grantee. (4) If a certificate of survey invokes the exemption for the relocation of common boundary lines: (a) The certificate of survey must bear the signatures of all landowners whose tracts of record will be altered by the proposed relocation. The certificate of survey must show that the exemption was used only to change the location of or eliminate a boundary line dividing two or more tracts of record, and must clearly distinguish the prior boundary location (shown, for example, by a dashed or broken line or a notation) from the new boundary (shown, for example, by a solid line or notation); (b) The certificate of survey must show the boundaries of the area that is being removed from one tract of record and joined with another tract of record. The certificate of survey may, but is not required to, establish the exterior boundaries of the resulting tracts of record. Unsurveyed portions of the parcels must be labeled, "NOT A PART OF THIS CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY" or "NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY". However, the certificate of survey must show portions of the existing unchanged boundaries sufficient to clearly identify both the location and the extent of the boundary relocation; (c) If a boundary line will be completely eliminated, the certificate must establish the boundary of the resulting tract of record; and. (d) The certificate of survey must contain the following notation: "The area that is being removed from one tract of record and joined with another tract of record is not itself a tract of record. Said area must not be available as a reference legal description in any subsequent real property transfer after the initial transfer associated with the [certificate of survey or amended plat] on which said area is described, unless said area is included with or excluded from adjoining tracts of record." (5) If the certificate of survey invokes an exemption from subdivision review under MCA 76-3-207, the certificate of survey must bear, or be accompanied by, a certification by the county treasurer that all taxes and special assessments assessed and levied on the surveyed land have been paid. (6) For purposes of this section, when the parcel of land for which an exemption from subdivision review is claimed is being conveyed under a contract-for-deed, the terms "property owner," "landowner" and "owner" mean the seller of the parcel under the contract-for-deed. (7) Procedures for filing certificates of survey of divisions of land entirely exempted from the requirements of the Act. The divisions of land described in MCA 76-3-201, 76-3-205 and 76-3-209, and divisions of federally owned land made by a United States government agency are not required to be surveyed, nor must a certificate of survey or subdivision plat showing these divisions be filed with the county clerk and recorder. A certificate of survey of one of these divisions may, however, be filed with the county clerk and recorder if the certificate of survey meets the requirements for form and content for certificates of survey contained in this section and bears a certificate of the surveyor performing the survey citing the applicable exemption from the Act or, when applicable, that the land surveyed is owned by the federal government. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 118 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (8) A certificate of survey must not be filed by the county clerk and recorder unless it complies with the uniform standards for certificate of surveys specified in section 24.183.1104, ARM as may be amended or as required by the county clerk and recorder. (9) Certificates of survey that do not represent a division or aggregation of land, such as those depicting the retracement of an existing parcel and those prepared for informational purposes, must contain a statement as to their purpose and must meet applicable requirements of ARM 24.183.1104 for form and content. If the purpose of a certificate of survey is stated as a retracement or partial retracement, and if multiple tracts of record contained within the parcel's perimeter boundary on the certificate of survey are not individually shown, then the certificate of survey does not expunge the tracts of record unless it represents a division or aggregation of land, contains the acknowledged certificate of the property owner(s) citing the applicable exemption in its entirety, and conforms with the Administrative Rules of Montana for certificates of survey exempted from review as subdivisions. b. Amended plats. Unless a division of land is exempt from subdivision review by MCA 76-3-201 or 76-3-207(1)(d) or (e), an amended plat must not be filed by the county clerk and recorder unless it complies with the uniform standards for final subdivision plats specified in section 24.183.1107, ARM as may be amended or as required by the Gallatin county clerk and recorder. A survey document that modifies lots in a platted and filed subdivision and invokes an exemption from subdivision review under MCA 76-3-201 or 76-3-207(1)(d) or (e), must be entitled "amended plat of the (name of subdivision)," but for all other purposes is to be regarded as a certificate of survey and subject to the requirements of this code. Sec. 38.240.360. - Exemption review criteria. (38.05.070) A. The following criteria must be used to ensure that exemptions are not claimed for the purposes of evading this chapter or the Act. Appeals regarding a final decision by the community development department that an exemption is an evasion of the Subdivision and Platting Act may be taken in the manner established for administrative project decision appeals as set forth in section 38.250.030. 1. A division of land is created to provide security for mortgages, liens or trust indentures for the purpose of construction, improvements to the land being divided or refinancing purposes (MCA 76-3-201(1)(b)). a. The proper use of the exemption is to provide security for construction mortgages, liens or trust indentures, when a survey of the parcel has been required. b. The city makes a rebuttable presumption that a division of land that is created to provide security is adopted for the purpose of evading the Act under the following conditions: (1) If the division of land is created for the purpose of conveyance to any entity other than the financial or lending institution to which the mortgage, lien or trust indenture was given or to a purchaser upon foreclosure of the mortgage, lien or trust indenture; or (2) The security is provided for construction or improvements on, or refinancing for, land other than on the exempted parcel. c. When the security for construction financing exemption is to be used, the landowner must submit, in addition to such other documents as may be required, a written statement explaining: (1) How many parcels within the original tract will be created by use of the exemption; (2) Who will have title to the remainder of the original parcel; and BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 119 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (3) A signed and notarized statement from a lending institution that the creation of the exempted parcel is necessary to secure a construction loan for buildings or other improvements on the parcel. d. The written statement and the instruments creating the security must be filed at the same time as the survey with the clerk and recorder. 2. Divisions made outside of platted subdivisions for the purpose of relocating common boundary lines between adjoining properties (MCA 76-3-207(I)(a)). a. The proper use of the exemption for relocating common boundary lines is to establish a new boundary between adjoining parcels of land outside of a platted subdivision, without creating an additional parcel. b. A certificate of survey for the relocation of common boundary lines may include five or fewer parcels and/or lots. c. Certificates of survey showing the relocation of common boundary lines must be accompanied by: (1) An original deed exchanging recorded interest from every person having a recorded interest in adjoining properties for the entire newly described parcel that is acquiring additional land; (2) Documentation showing the need or reason for the relocation (for example: structure encroachment, surveyor error, or enhancement of the configuration of the property); and (3) The certificate of survey must bear the signatures of all landowners whose parcels are changed by the relocation, and show that the exemption was used only to change the location of a boundary line dividing two parcels, and must clearly distinguish the prior boundary location (shown, for example, by a dashed or broken line or a notation) from the new boundary (shown, for example, by a solid line or notation). d. The city makes a rebuttable presumption that a proposed relocation of common boundary lines is adopted for the purpose of evading the Act, if: (1) The community development department determines that the documentation submitted according to this section does not support the stated reason for relocation, or an additional parcel is created. 3. Division made outside of platted subdivisions for the purpose of a single gift or sale in each county to each member of the landowner's immediate family (MCA 76-3-207(I)(b)). a. A member of the immediate family is the spouse of the grantor, or whether by blood or adoption, a son, daughter, mother or father of the grantor. b. The proper use of the exemption as a gift or sale to a member of the immediate family is to convey one parcel of land outside of a platted subdivision to each member of the landowner's immediate family in each county, providing that the use of the exemption creates no more than one additional parcel of less than 160 acres in size. Each exemption under this section will be reviewed by the community development department under this chapter. c. A certificate of survey for a family transfer may include more than one exempt parcel providing if all parcels meet the criteria of this section. d. Certificates of survey showing the creation of new parcels of land pursuant to this exemption as a gift or sale to a member of the immediate family must be accompanied by an original BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 120 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft deed transferring interest in the parcel being created, or a statement detailing where the deed is in escrow, how long it will be in escrow and authorization to contact the escrow agent for verification. e. The certificate of survey for an exemption for a family transfer must indicate the name of the grantee, the relationship of the grantee to the landowner and the parcel to be conveyed to the grantee. f. The city makes a rebuttable presumption that a family transfer is adopted for the purpose of evading this chapter and the Act if it is determined that one or more of the following conditions exist: (1) The exemption would create more than one additional parcel of less than 160 acres. (2) The member of the landowner's immediate family would have received more than one exempted parcel in the county. 4. Division made outside of platted subdivisions by gift, sale or an agreement to buy and sell in which the parties to the transaction enter a covenant running with the land and revocable only by mutual consent of the city and the property owner that the divided land will be used exclusively for agricultural purposes (MCA 76-3-207(I)(c)). a. An agricultural exemption is a division of land made outside of a platted subdivision by gift, sale or agreement to buy and sell in which the parties to the transaction enter a covenant running with the land, revocable only by mutual consent of the city and the transferee/property owner, that the divided land will be used exclusively for agricultural purposes. No building or structure requiring water or sewer facilities must be utilized on such a parcel. (1) A change in use of the land for anything other than agricultural purposes subjects the division to this chapter and review under parts 5 and 6 of the Act. 5. For lots within a platted subdivision, relocation of common boundaries and the aggregation of lots (MCA 76-3-207(I)(d)). a. The proper use of the exemption for aggregation of lots and/or relocation of common boundaries is the rearrangement and/or aggregation of lots within a platted subdivision which does not increase the total number of lots within the subdivision. The plat must contain the title "amended plat" and must be filed with the county clerk and recorder. b. The amended plat showing the aggregation of lots and/or relocation of common boundary within a platted subdivision must be accompanied by: (1) An original deed exchanging recorded interest from every person having a recorded interest in adjoining properties for the entire newly-described parcel(s) that is acquiring additional land; (2) Documentation showing the need or reason for the relocation (for example: structure encroachment, surveyor error, or enhancement of the configuration of the property); and (3) The amended plat must bear the signatures of all landowners whose parcels are changed by the relocation or aggregation. The amended plat must show that the exemption was used only to change the location of boundary lines or aggregate lots, and must clearly distinguish the prior boundary location (shown, for example, by a dashed or broken line or a notation) from the new boundary (shown, for example, by a solid line or notation). BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 121 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. The city makes a rebuttable presumption that a proposed aggregation of lots and/or relocation of common boundaries within a platted subdivision is adopted for the purpose of evading the Act if it determines that the relocation crosses the boundary of a public or private street right-of-way or the external boundary of the subdivision. d. Any division of lots which results in an increase in the number of lots must be reviewed as a subdivision and approved by the City of Bozemancity prior to the filing of the final plat. 6. Divisions made for the purpose of relocating a common boundary line between a single lot within a platted subdivision and adjoining land outside a platted subdivision (MCA 76-3- 207(I)(d)). a. The proper use of the exemption for relocating common boundary lines is to establish a new common boundary line between a single lot within a platted subdivision and adjoining land outside a platted subdivision. A restriction or requirement on the original platted lot or original unplatted parcel continues to apply to those areas. b. A certificate of survey for the relocation of common boundary lines may include five or fewer parcels and/or lots. c. Certificates of survey showing the relocation of common boundary lines must be accompanied by: (1) A original deed exchanging recorded interest from every person having a recorded interest in adjoining properties for the entire newly-described parcel that is acquiring additional land; (2) Documentation showing the need or reason for the relocation (for example: structure encroachment, surveyor error, or enhancement of the configuration of the property); and (3) The certificate of survey must bear the signatures of all landowners whose parcels are changed by the relocation, and show that the exemption was used only to change the location of a boundary line dividing two parcels, and must clearly distinguish the prior boundary location (shown, for example, by a dashed or broken line or a notation) from the new boundary (shown, for example, by a solid line or notation). d. The city makes a rebuttable presumption that a proposed relocation of common boundary lines is adopted for the purpose of evading the Act, if: (1) The community development department determines that the documentation submitted according to this section does not support the stated reason for relocation, or an additional parcel is created. 7. For lots within a platted subdivision, divisions made for the purpose of creating lots subject to zoning regulations as cottage development and not recorded as condominiums. (MCA 76-3- 203). a. The proper use of the exemption is to create lots for cottage development in compliance with 38.360.110. A restriction or requirement on the original platted lot continues to apply to those areas. b. An amended plat of the original subdivision showing the new dependent lots must be filed and must comply with the uniform standards for final subdivision plats specified in 24.183.1107, ARM and as updated. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 122 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.240.370. - Procedures for filing certificates of survey of divisions of land entirely exempted from the requirements of the act. (38.05.080) A certificate of survey of a division of land entirely exempted from the requirements of this chapter and the Act may be filed with the county clerk and recorder if it meets the requirements for form and content for certificates of survey contained in this section and bears a certificate of the surveyor performing the survey stating the applicable exemption from the Act.

To provide through departures a procedure for applicants to propose alternative design treatments provided such departures meet the “purpose” of the particular standard and any additional departure criteria set forth; 56. To provide through zoning variances a procedure for relief from the occasional inequities created by the physical standards of this chapter relating to zoning when such standards create a substantially unequal burden on a particular parcel of land in a fashion that would otherwise prevent the reasonable use of property, owing to physical circumstances unique to that parcel; 67. To prohibit the granting of variances that would be contrary to the public interest and endanger public health, safety and welfare; 78.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 146 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.270 Improvements & Guarantees (Article 39) Sec. 38.270.010. - Purpose and applicability. (38.39.010) A. This article is todivision provides standards and procedures relating to the installation of physical improvements and compliance with requirements related to development. As these improvements are necessary to meet requirements of the law and to protect public health, safety and general welfare and other purposes of this chapter it is also necessary to provide means by which their installation can be ensured. Such improvements may include, but are not limited to, design elements such as landscaping, parking facilities, storm drainage facilities, architectural features, pedestrian walkways and public utilities. Furthermore, in some situations it is in the best interest of the person conducting development to be able to guarantee the completion of certain work and be able to begin utilization of a development sooner than would otherwise be possible if all improvements had to be physically installed before use could begin. This article therefore has the following purposes: 1. Ensure completion of required improvements or compliance with other requirements of development to an acceptable standard; 2. Provide buyer/lessee protection while allowing a person undertaking development to proceed with sales/leases before the project is totally complete, especially multiphased projects; 3. Ensure adequate warranty or maintenance, when appropriate, of improvements; 4. Provide for mechanisms to ensure performance of or conformance with conditions of approval or development requirements; and 5. Accomplish the purposes listed in this subsection A through mechanisms that reduce the need to rely on costly litigation to accomplish those purposes. B. This article division applies to all subdivisions and site developments as described as follows: 1. Subdivisions must install or provide security for installation of improvements prior to final platting as set forth in detail in this article. 2. Site developments including, site plans, conditional use permits, planned unit developments, reuses and certificates of appropriateness, must install improvements or provide security for installation prior to occupancy or commencement of use. 3. The city may determine the nature and timing of required installation of improvements as part of the subdivision or site development process. When necessary to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, and ensure the function and viability of development, certain needed improvements may not be allowed to be financially guaranteed. Sec. 38.270.020. - Standards for improvements. (38.39.020) A. General.

Detailed cost estimates and construction plans of all required on-site and off-site improvements must be made a part of the agreement; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 155 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. Provide for security in the amount equal to 150 percent of the estimated cost of the improvements to be secured if the agreement is to be activated; d. The term for the security referenced in subsection C.1.c of this section must be not less than the length of time of theat least six months longer than the time of performance required by the improvements agreement; e. The agreement must provide for the city to claim the guarantee by certifying that the developer is in default of the performance to be secured; f. Requests for partial release of security must only be in amounts such that the security will always equal 150 percent of the value of the remaining uncompleted work, and such that not more than 90 percent of the security is released prior to completion of all improvements. The city may take into account the location and scope of development phases in evaluating requests to reduce the amount of a financial guarantee. The city may require verification that all liens have been released and payments made prior to releasing a portion of the security; g. Must provide for the city to require a replacement security in the event the issuer of the security becomes insolvent, enters receivership, or otherwise gives cause for the city to lack confidence in the ability of the issuer to honor the security; h. Must permit the city in the event of default by the developer to include in the costs to be recovered from the security those costs resulting from the need to call in the security, including but not limited to costs for the city attorney's time; and i. The financial security must be placed in the keeping of the city treasurer. 2. Subdivisions. Improvements agreements for subdivisions must meet the following standards in addition to those listed in subsection C.1 of this section: a. The length of time of the agreement must not exceed one year from the date of final plat approval. The agreement must stipulate the time schedule the subdivider proposes for accomplishing the required improvements; b. The estimated cost of improvements must be provided by the subdivider's professional engineer. The city engineer has the discretion to require a second estimate of the cost of improvements, with the cost of obtaining the second estimate borne by the subdivider. The agreement must stipulate which type of security arrangements will be used; c. Security for improvements for internal subdivision streets, water, storm drainage and sewer mains, or other internal or external improvements must be reduced only upon recommendation of the city department with responsibility for the type of infrastructure which has been guaranteed; d. The improvements agreement must be filed with the final plat; and e. The security provided must be a financial security valid for 18 months. 3. Site development. Improvements agreements for developments other than subdivisions must meet the following standards in addition to those listed in subsection C.1 of this section: a. If occupancy of the structure or commencement of the use is to occur prior to installation of the required improvements, the installation of those improvements must be secured in conformance with the requirements of this division 38.270; b. The length of time of the agreement and method of security must not be less than 12 months, and the term for the security must be at least six months longer than the time for performance required by the improvements agreement; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 156 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. All secured improvements must be completed by the developer within nine months of occupancy or the security must be forfeited to the city for the purpose of installing or contracting for the installation of the required improvements; d. At the community development director's discretion, a developer may be permitted to extend the manner of security, in general for a period not to exceed one additional year. Factors such as, but not limited to, progress of installation achieved to date and phasing of projects may be considered; e. The DRC and/or ADR must determine which, if any, of the required improvements must be installed prior to occupancy, regardless of the use of a secured improvements agreement. Such determination must be based on a finding that unsafe or hazardous conditions will be created or perpetuated without the installation of certain improvements or that the property will have an unacceptable adverse impact on adjoining properties until such improvements are installed; (1) Items include but are not limited to walkways and signage necessary for ADA compliance, parking surfaces adequate to meet the needs of the uses to be conducted during the term of the improvements agreement, or matters related to life safety are required to be installed prior to any occupancy; and f. When all provisions are met for occupancy of a facility or commencement of a use prior to the installation of all improvements, and adequate security has been provided in accordance with the terms of an improvements agreement, the building official may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy which allows occupancy of the facility on a temporary basis for a period not to exceed nine months. When all required improvements are installed in compliance with all terms and details of the site or sketch plan approval, the temporary occupancy permit must be withdrawn and a permanent certificate of occupancy must be issued according to the provisions of this division 38.270. D. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the city may limit the scope, type and number of improvements eligible for being secured by an improvements agreement and require installation prior to final plat approval, issuance of building permits, occupancy or other similar actions. E. The community development director must be responsible to sign improvements agreements on behalf of the city. F. When an improvements agreement is used to allow the filing of a final plat prior to the completion of infrastructure, a notice of improvements agreement must be recorded along with the plat which indicates that certain infrastructure work is still not complete and identifying that work. When the work has been completed and is accepted by the city as complete, the city must record a notice of completion stating that the work that was the subject of the improvements agreement is complete. Sec. 38.270.070. - Payment for extension of capital facilities. (38.39.070) A. The city may require a subdivider or other site developer to mitigate the impacts of subdivision or site development by the extension of existing capital facilities or the construction of new capital facilities. The review authority, established in 38.200.010, may determine that the payment or the guarantee of payment for the construction of capital facilities are appropriate measures to coordinate with the city’s planned capital facility improvements and to ensure public health, safety and welfare. Payment of cash in-lieu of constructing capital facilities by a subdivider or other site developer to the city is a mechanism for meeting regulatory requirements and mitigating subdivision and other site development impacts. The review authority, in its sole discretion, must determine the appropriate mitigation for any subdivision or site development impacts. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 157 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft B. The city may require a subdivider or other site developer to pay or guarantee payment for part or all of the costs of extending capital facilities related to public health and safety, including but not limited to public roads or streets, sewer mains, water supply mains and stormwater facilities for a subdivision or other site development. The costs must reasonably reflect the expected impacts directly attributable to the subdivision or other site development. The city may not require a subdivider or other site developer to pay or guarantee payment for part or all of the costs of constructing or extending capital facilities related to education. C. The review authority may accept direct payment of cash in-lieu of public street, water, sewer, and stormwater capital facilities required by this code. Should the review authority approve a request to pay cash in-lieu, a subdivider or other site developer is not required to obtain a variance from the requirement such facilities be constructed prior to development approval. A request to meet the terms of division 38.220 by payment of cash in-lieu must be submitted by an applicant prior to a determination of adequacy or any advisory body recommendation during review of a development application. The city may choose to require payment of cash rather than require the construction of capital facilities as determined by the review authority. A request received after determination of adequacy or advisory body recommendation is a material modification to the application. 1. The review authority, established in 38.200.010, must evaluate proposals of cash in-lieu of capital facilities and make a decision to approve, approve with conditions or deny such requests. In evaluating a request to pay cash in-lieu, the review authority must consider the following criteria: a. Whether there is a danger to public health and safety of accepting cash in-lieu rather than constructing the capital facilities; b. Whether the work described in the proposal is part of a project scheduled for commencement of construction on the most recently adopted capital improvement plan no later than three years from the date of submittal; c. Whether a public work is pending which would substantially damage the work otherwise required to be constructed; d. Whether the installation of the otherwise required capital facilities would be disruptive to planned public improvements; e. Whether the city has made a determination of the reasonableness of the cost estimate of the work; and f. Whether the payment would enable a more efficient installation of required capital facilities. 2. The request to pay cash in-lieu of capital facilities and the findings of the review authority must be considered in any final action to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a development application. 3. All cash paid in-lieu must be held by the city in a fund dedicated to the work for which the monies are paid. 4. As a condition of accepting cash in-lieu, the city may require the property owner to execute a waiver of right to protest creation of a special improvement district, or other legal instrument, assuring participation, on a fair share, proportionate basis, in future capital facility improvements in the vicinity of the development proposal. 5. The city manager may adopt procedures by administrative order to implement this section. 6. The cash paid must include all component costs of the work deferred including but not limited to design, permitting, traffic management, construction, and record drawings. The cash paid must BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 158 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft include a contingency amount to offset the uncertainty of cost estimating and potential escalation of costs. 7. Issuance of a refund is a material modification of a development per 38.100.070. Refunds of cash paid in-lieu are not available if: a. A final plat which relied upon cash-in-lieu of facilities has been recorded; b. If building permits for a non-subdivision development have been issued; or c. If the city has published an invitation to bid on work which relies upon the paid cash for project funding. Sec. 38.270.080. - Types of acceptable securities. (38.39.080) A. Financial securities. A variety of means of providing for the security of improvements agreements, ensuring adequate maintenance of required improvements and ensuring compliance with conditions of approval for various developments may be allowed. One or more of the following instruments may be used to provide a financial security for improvements to be completed. The method, terms and amount of security must be acceptable to the city. Financial security is the primary method to provide security for installation of physical improvements. 1. Direct payment of cash to the city; 2. Irrevocable letters of credit; 3. Cash escrows held by the city, or held by an approved escrow agent and subject to an executed escrow agreement; or 4. Performance bonds, in limited circumstances and subject to approval by the city attorney. B. Nonfinancial securities. In addition to the possible financial securities listed above, the following nonfinancial securities may be used to ensure compliance with conditions of approval, ensure maintenance of required improvements and coordinate timing of development. When deemed appropriate, the city may use nonfinancial security methods in combination with a financial security method. 1. Granting of final permits; 2. Sequential approval of multiphased projects, with subsequent phases to not receive approval until prior approved phases have complied with all requirements; 3. Formation of a special improvement or maintenance district. This method must not be considered completed until after all final actions have occurred and the district is in existence and the bonds sold; 4. Establishment of a property owners’ association with city enforceable duties to maintain certain improvements; 5. Irrevocable offer of dedication of improvements to be dedicated to the public after completion of the project; and 6. Recording of a special restrictive covenant or deed restriction which may only be released by written agreement of the city. Sec. 38.270.090. - Development or maintenance of common areas and facilities by developer or property owners' association. (38.39.090) A. General. For the purposes of this section, "common areas and facilities" include: 1. Public and/or private parkland; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 159 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. Boulevard strips in public rights-of-way along external subdivision streets and adjacent to parks and/or open space; 3. Common open space (as defined in section 38.700.040); 4. Neighborhood centers (except for neighborhood commercial and civic uses and their grounds) as set forth in section 38.410.020; 5. Pathways (as defined in section 38.700.150); 6. Lighting; 7. Stormwater facilities, and 8. Irrigation facilities installed in common areas. B. Development. If common areas or facilities will be developed by the subdivider or by a property owners’ association, a development plan must be submitted with the preliminary plat application for review and approval. The development plan must be reviewed and approved by the city prior to the installation of improvements in common areas or the installation of common facilities. An approved park master plan would satisfy this requirement. 1. Landscaping. When landscaping and/or irrigation systems will be installed in parkland, boulevard strips or common open space, the development plan must be accompanied by a landscaping plan that was prepared by a qualified landscaping professional. When landscaping in common areas is installed by the subdivider, the subdivider must warrant these improvements against any and all defects for a period of two years from the date of installation of the landscaping. When landscaping in a park is installed by the subdivider, the subdivider must comply with the Parks Design Standards and warrant these improvements against any and all defects for a period of two years from the date of installation of the landscaping. 2. Tree permits. If trees will be planted in dedicated city parkland or boulevard strips, tree planting permits must be obtained from the forestry department. C. Maintenance. When common areas or facilities will be maintained by the subdivider or by a property owners’ association, a maintenance plan that complies with section 38.220.320 must be submitted with the preliminary plat application for review and approval. The maintenance plan must include a maintenance schedule, and a mechanism to assess and enforce the common expenses for the common area or facility. The maintenance plan must be included in the subdivision covenants. The developer must provide all necessary maintenance until the improvements are transferred to a property owners’ association, or other final custodian, at which point the property owners’ association or other final custodian will be responsible for all necessary maintenance of common areas or facilities identified in the maintenance plan. Maintenance must be provided by the property owners’ association for parks until the city must establish a park maintenance district or other dedicated funding source and affirmatively accept responsibility for maintenance. The provisions of section 38.220.200.A.8 apply to this section. 1. Landscaping warranty. The maintenance plan must provide that any required or proposed landscaping must be maintained in a healthy, growing condition at all times, and that any plant that dies must be replaced with another living plant that complies with the approved landscape plan. 2. Irrigation System warranty. The maintenance plan must provide that any required or proposed irrigation system must be maintained in an appropriate and efficient manner and kept in good operating condition, and that any components of the irrigation system that break must be fixed and replaced if necessary with components approved in the irrigation system design plan. 3. Shade tree maintenance. The forestry department must be responsible for the maintenance of shade trees in all city rights-of-way and on city property, including parks. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 160 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft D. Maintenance Area. For a multiphase project with common areas and facilities, the maintenance mechanism must include all phases of the project, and must be created for the entire project with the first phase. No property must be removed from the maintenance area or mechanism without prior approval by the city to ensure continued maintenance of common areas and facilities, and on- going fulfillment of all obligations. Sec. 38.270.100. - Warranty. (38.39.100) All publicly dedicated improvements must be subject to a warranty of duration and scope to meet the city's design standards and specifications manual and/or park design standards as applicable. 38.280 Nonconforming Situations (Article 32) Sec. 38.280.010. - Nonconforming uses. (38.32.010) A. Any use lawfully existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter or any predecessor title or code is derived may be continued at the size and in the manner of operation existing upon such date except as hereinafter specified, or in the case of signage as specified in division 38.560 of this chapter. B. Except as otherwise specified in this division, the right to operate and maintain a nonconforming use must terminate when the structure or structures housing such use are destroyed by any means to an extent of more than 50 percent of its replacement cost at the time of destruction. However, in the event of damage by natural disaster to the extent described herein, said nonconforming use or uses may be reestablished through a conditional use permit procedure as set forth in division 38.230 of this chapter. Such restoration must comply to the maximum extent reasonably feasible with the requirements of this chapter. C. When any lawful nonconforming use of any structure or land in any district has been changed to a conforming use, it must not thereafter be changed to any nonconforming use. D. Whenever a lawful nonconforming use of a building, structure or land is discontinued for a period of 90 days, any future use of the building, structure or land must be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. E. Normal maintenance of a building or other structure containing or related to a lawful nonconforming use is permitted, including necessary structural repairs, provided such structural repairs do not enlarge, intensify or otherwise redefine the nonconforming use. Sec. 38.280.020. - Changes to or expansions of nonconforming uses. (38.32.020) A. Lawful nonconforming nonresidential use. 1. A lawful nonconforming nonresidential use must not be changed except in conformance with the use requirements of the zone in which it is located. Except, however, a lawful nonconforming nonresidential use may be changed to another nonconforming use, provided that the proposed use is not of greater intensity than the original use, as determined by the criteria in 38.280.020.A.2, and that a conditional use permit is obtained from the review authority. A lawful nonconforming nonresidential use may be expanded only through the granting of a conditional use permit by the review authority. In considering the appropriateness of the conditional use permit application, the review authority must weigh the criteria set forth in subsection BD.2 of this section. In addition, the review authority must consider whether the expansion is reasonable, natural and incidental to the growth and use of an existing business. In general, proposals to expand nonconforming uses must not be approved if the expansion would BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 161 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft encompass new land or property which was not in use at the time of the enactment of zoning or a change in zoning. 2. To approve a conditional use permit to change or expand a nonconforming nonresidential use, the review authority must determine that the proposed nonconforming use is more appropriate to the district than the existing nonconforming use, and that no unsafe or unhealthy conditions are perpetuated. In making such a determination, the review authority must weigh the following criteria in addition to the criteria applicable to all conditional use permits: a. Traffic impacts, both on-site and off-site; b. Off-street parking and loading requirements; c. The visual impact on the surrounding area; d. The degree of compliance with the adopted growth policy and this chapter; e. The level of conflict with other uses in the surrounding area; f. The presence of other nonconformities in the surrounding area; g. The degree to which any existing unsafe or hazardous conditions would be mitigated; h. The viability of the subject structure; and i. On-site and off-site impacts from noise, dust, smoke, surface or groundwater contamination, or other environmental impacts. B. Lawful nonconforming residential use. 1. A lawful nonconforming residential use may be reduced in terms of the number of dwelling units, in an effort to achieve greater conformance with the underlying zoning designation, through the review process required by divisions 38.340, and 38.230 of this chapter, without the need to obtain a conditional use permit from the review authority. A lawful nonconforming residential use must not be permitted to increase the number of dwelling units. 2. The maintenance and reconstruction of existing nonconforming residential dwelling units is allowed, in compliance with applicable fire and building codes, including expansion of up to 20 percent of the existing total residential area, without the need of a conditional use permit, as long as the number of dwelling units on the lot is not increased. In instances where new construction is allowed, all appropriate approvals such as a certificate of appropriateness or building permit must be obtained prior to the initiation of construction. Sec. 38.280.030. - Nonconforming area and bulk requirements for existing lots. (38.32.030) A. At the time of the enactment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived if any owner of a plot of land consisting of one or more adjacent lots, as defined in section 38.700.020 of this chapter, in a subdivision of record does not own sufficient land within the lot of record to enable the owner to conform to the minimum lot size requirements, or does not have sufficient lot width to conform to the minimum lot width requirements, such plot of land may nevertheless be used as a building site. The lot dimension requirements of the district in which the piece of land is located may be reduced by the smallest amount that will permit a structure of acceptable size to be built upon the lot, with such reduction to be determined by the review authority designated in section 38.200.010. Existing buildings on nonconforming lots may be expanded without deviations or variances so long as the expansion does not increase or create one or more nonconformities. 1. In the R-S, R-1 and R-2 districts, the reduction must permit only a single-household residence. 2. In the R-3, R-4 and R-O districts, the reduction must permit only a duplex two unit structure. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 162 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft B. No lot, even though it may consist of one or more adjacent lots in common ownership at the time of passage of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, must may be reduced in size so that lot width or size of setbacks or lot area per household or any other requirement of this chapter is not maintained except as provided for in this chapter. This section views lots as merged for the purposes of planning and zoning regulation of bulk, size, or similar dimensional standards only, and does not aggregate individual parcels of land in a manner affected by MCA 76-3-103(17)(b). This section must does not apply when a portion of a lot is acquired for a public purpose. C. Adjacent parcels which do not conform to minimum lot requirements, and which are in common ownership, must beare considered individual lots of record for the purposes of this code only if they are each greater than one acre in size and were created prior to the passage of the ordinance codified in this chapter. Sec. 38.280.040. - Nonconforming structures. (38.32.040) A. Any nonconforming structure lawfully existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived may be continued at the size and configuration existing upon such date except as hereinafter specified, or in the case of signage as specified in division 38.560 of this chapter and lighting as specified in section 38.560.200. B. The right to operate and maintain a nonconforming structure must terminates when the structure is destroyed by any means to an extent of more than 50 percent of its replacement cost at the time of destruction. However, in the event of damage by natural disaster to the extent described herein, said nonconforming nonresidential structure may be reestablished through a conditional use permit procedure as set forth in division 38.230 of this chapter. Such restoration must comply to the maximum extent feasible with the requirements of this chapter. C. Normal maintenance of a lawful nonconforming structure is permitted, including necessary structural repairs provided such structural repairs do not enlarge the structure or intensify the use. Sec. 38.280.050. - Changes to or expansions of nonconforming structures. (38.32.050) A. A lawful nonconforming structure must not be changed except in conformance with the requirements of the zone in which it is located or as provided in this division. B. A lawful nonconforming structure may be expanded through the plan review process required by divisions 38.340 and 38.230 of this chapter. Unless the proposed expansion would create a new nonconformity or increase an existing nonconformity, no deviation or variance is required for the expansion. C. If a lawful nonconforming structure is proposed to be changed or expanded in a manner which would increase the degree of nonconformity, or would create a new nonconformity, a deviation or variance must be properly granted prior to or in conjunction with the site development approval required in divisions 38.340, and 38.230 of this chapter. D. The maintenance and reconstruction of existing nonconforming residential structures is allowed, in compliance with applicable fire and building codes, as well as, the provisions of this division, so long as the number of dwelling units on the lot is not increased. Maintenance activities may not increase the degree of nonconformity.

Part 1: Zoning Districts & Zoning Map Sec. 38.300.010. - Purpose. (new) Individual zoning districts are adopted for the purposes described in section 38.100.040. Furthermore: A. A variety of districts is established to provide locations for the many uses needed within a healthy and dynamic community. B. Each district, in conjunction with other standards incorporated in this chapter, establishes allowable uses of property, separates incompatible uses, and sets certain standards for use of land. C. This provides predictability and reasonable expectation in use of land within particular zoning designations and sites. D. The zoning provisions implement the community goals and objectives that are contained in the city's adopted growth policy. E. Zoning districts and the zoning map communicate the City’s expectation for land use in each particular district. Sec. 38.300.020. - Use districts designated, zoning map adopted. (38.07.010) A. The city is divided into zones, or districts, as shown on the official zoning map which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is adopted by this reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. B. The purpose statements for each zone and map designation set forth in part 2 of this division shall be used to guide the application of the zones and designations to all lands in the city. The purpose BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 165 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft statements also shall guide interpretation and application of land use regulations within the zones and designations, and any changes to the range of permitted uses within each zone through amendments to this title. For the purpose of this chapter, the city is divided and classified into the following use districts: R-S Residential Suburban District R-1 Residential Single-Household Low Density District R-2 Residential Two-Household Medium Density District R-3 Residential Medium Density District R-4 Residential High Density District R-5 Residential Mixed-Use High Density District R-O Residential-Office District RMH Residential Manufactured Home Community District B-1 Neighborhood Business District B-2 Community Business District B-2M Community Business District - Mixed B-3 Central Downtown Business District UMU Urban Mixed-Use District M-1 Light Manufacturing District M-2 Manufacturing and Industrial District B-P Business Park District PLI Public Lands and Institutions District NEHMU Northeast Historic Mixed-Use District NC Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District EO Entryway Corridor Overlay District CO Casino Overlay District REMU Residential Emphasis Mixed-use District C. Placement of any given zoning district on an area depicted on the zoning map indicates a judgment on the part of the city that the range of uses allowed within that district are generally acceptable in that location. It is not a guarantee of approval for any given use prior to the completion of the appropriate review procedure and compliance with all of the applicable requirements and development standards of this chapter and other applicable policies, laws and ordinances. It is also not a guarantee of immediate infrastructure availability or a commitment on the part of the city to bear the cost of extending services. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 166 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft D. Individual zoning districts are adopted for the purposes described in section 38.100.040. A variety of districts is established to provide locations for the many uses needed within a healthy and dynamic community. Each district, in conjunction with other standards incorporated in this chapter, establishes allowable uses of property, separates incompatible uses, and sets certain standards for use of land. This provides predictability and reasonable expectation in use of land within particular zoning designations and sites. Sec. 38.300.030. - Official map availability, certification and authority; changes. (38.07.020) A. The official maps must be available in the community development department and must bear a certificate with the signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk and the date of adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter. B. This certificate should read as follows: This is to certify that this is an Official Zoning Map referred to in section ____________ of Ordinance No. ____________ of the City of Bozeman, Montana. Mayor ____________ Attested ____________ Date of Adoption ____________ C. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official zoning maps, which may from time to time be made or published, the official zoning maps kept in the community development department must be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures in the city. Sec. 38.300.040. - Official map replacement conditions. (38.07.030) A. In the event that the official zoning maps become damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes or additions thereto, the city commission may adopt and certify new official zoning maps which must supersede the prior official zoning maps. The new official zoning maps may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior map, but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the original official zoning maps or any subsequent amendment thereof. B. If any changes to the map are made by amendment of this chapter in accordance with division 38.260 of this chapter, such changes must be made to the official zoning maps and signed, dated and certified upon the map or upon the material attached thereto. Interpretations per 38.300.050 and revisions to the map to accommodate annexations and other changes necessitating interpretation must be reflected. C. The new official zoning maps must be identified by signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk. The certificate should read as follows: This is to certify that this Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted as part of Ordinance No. ____________ of the City of Bozeman, Montana. Mayor ____________ Attested ____________ Date of Adoption ____________ BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 167 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.300.050. - Boundary interpretation guidelines. (38.07.040) A. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the boundaries must be interpreted as following the nearest logical line to that shown: 1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, highways or alleys must be construed to follow such centerlines; 2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines must be construed as following such lot lines; 3. Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits must be construed as following such city limits; 4. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines must be construed to be midway between the main track or rails; 5. Boundaries indicated as following the centerline of streams, rivers, canals or ditches must be construed to follow such centerlines; and 6. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated on the official zoning map must be determined by the scale of the map. 7. When a parcel subject to two or more districts is subdivided and the district boundary is near a new parcel boundary the district must be construed to follow the new boundary. B. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or where other circumstances or controversy arise over district boundaries, the community development director must interpret the district boundary. Such interpretation is subject to appeal as set forth in division 38.250 in this chapter. C. Where district boundaries divide a lot or parcel into two or more districts, the following rule applies: For the purpose of determining permitted uses and development form and intensity, the community development director may allow minor adjustments (up to 10 percent increase or decrease in area, not to exceed one acre, of either zone on the applicable lot) to the zoning boundary. The criteria for making such a determination must include an evaluation of site topography, proximity of non- compatible uses adjacent to the subject property, and overall function and integration of the development with the community. the entire lot or parcel shall be deemed to have only the characteristics and uses of the most restrictive district that any part of the lot or parcel rests within. However, for properties which lie partially within a specified overlay district, the planning director may determine that overlay district regulations shall apply only to that portion of the property lying within the specified overlay district. The criteria for making such a determination shall include an evaluation of site topography and the degree to which the development portion of the property lying outside of the overlay district is integrated with the development lying within the district. Sec. 38.300.060. - Zoning of annexed territory. (38.07.060) A. All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the city must, in conjunction with the annexation, be the subject of a zone map amendment in order to be designed designated and assigned to a city zoning district. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 168 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft B. Areas of annexed public right-of-way must be considered to be zoned according to the provisions of section 38.300.040.A. The city commission must determine the appropriate zoning for any and all areas to be annexed to the city but must request a recommendation from the zoning commission and must take into consideration the city growth policy. Any ordinance adopting such zoning amendment must not be effectivetake effect prior to the effective date of such annexation. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 169 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Part 2: Zoning District Intent & Purpose Statements Sec. 38.300.100. – Residential zoning districts - intent and purpose. (38.08.010) A. The intent and purpose of the residential zoning districts is to establish areas within the city that are primarily residential in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for development within those areas. The residential districts also allow complementary non-residential uses. The purpose in having more than one residential district is to provide opportunities for a variety of housing types and arrangements within the community while providing a basic level of predictability. There is a presumption that the uses set forth for each district will be compatible with each other when the standards of this chapter are met and any applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied. The presumption of compatibility may be overcome by a showing of specific evidence through the development review process that proves a development to be non-compliant with applicable standards.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 172 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft The primary use of a lot, as measured by building area, permitted in the R-O district is determined by the underlying growth policy land use designation. Where the district lies over a residential growth policy designation the primary use shall be non-office uses; where the district lies over a nonresidential designation the primary use shall be office and other nonresidential uses. Primary use shall be measured by percentage of building floor area. . 2. Use of this zone is appropriate for areas characterized by office or multi-household development; and/or areas along arterial corridors or transitional areas between residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. H. Residential manufactured home community district (RMH). 8. The intent of the RMH residential manufactured home community district is to provide for manufactured home community development and directly related complementary uses within the city at a density and character compatible with adjacent development. The district is intended to be residential in character and consistent with the standards for other forms of residential development permitted by this chapter. Use of this zone is appropriate for existing mobile home parks and areas adjacent to commercial or mixed-use districts and/or served by transit. Sec. 38.300.110. - Commercial and mixed-use zoning districts - intent and purpose. (38.10.010) The intent and purposes of the commercial zoning districts are to establish areas within the city that are primarily commercial in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for development within those areas. The purpose in having more than one commercial district is to provide opportunities for a variety of employment and community service opportunities within the community, while providing predictability. There is a rebuttable presumption that the uses set forth for each district will be compatible with each other both within the individual districts and to adjoining zoning districts when the standards of this chapter are met and any applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied. Additional requirements for development apply within overlay districts. A. Neighborhood business district (B-1). 1. The intent of the B-1 neighborhood business district is to provide for smaller scale retail and service activities frequently required by neighborhood residents on a day to day basis, as well as residential development as a secondary purpose, while still maintaining compatibility with adjacent residential land uses. Design standards emphasizing velopment Scale and pedestrian oriented designation are important elements of this district.

Design standards emphasizing pedestrian oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit. A separation of this district from an Use of this zone is appropriate for areas served by transit and areas buffered from an R-S, R-1, or R-2 zone may be appropriate by a more intensive residential zone or other commercial or mixed-use zone. D. Central Downtown bBusiness district (downtown B-3). 4. The intent of the downtown B-3 central business district is to provide a central area for the community's business, government service and cultural activities with urban residential development as an essential supporting use. The downtown B-3 district should be the area of greatest density of development and intensity of use, and appropriate infill. Uses within this district should be appropriate to such a focal center with inappropriate uses being excluded. Design standards reinforcing the area’s historical pedestrian-oriented context are very important. Room should be provided in appropriate areas for logical and planned expansion of the present district. a. It is the intent of tThis district to encourages high volume, pedestrian-oriented uses in ground floor space in the "core area" of the city's central business district, i.e., along Main Street from Grand to Rouse and to the alleys one-half block north and south from Main Street. Lower volume pedestrian uses such as professional offices may locate on ground floor space in the downtown B-3 area outside the above-defined core. E.

To accomplish the intent of the district, the UMU district should ideally be located at the intersections of major traffic corridors;, that is, at the intersections of two arterials, or, less frequently, an arterial and a collector street. The major intersections should have or be planned to have a stop light or other active traffic control. While placement at major intersections is a necessary precondition, not all major intersections should have the UMU district adjacent to them. Additionally, placement of this district should be adjacent or near to dense residential development to enhance walking and bicycle use. F. Residential emphasis mixed-use zoning district (REMU) - intent and purpose. (38.09.010) A. The intent and purpose of the residential emphasis mixed-use (REMU) district is to establish areas within Bozeman that are mixed-use in character and to provide options for a variety of housing, employment, retail and neighborhood service opportunities within a new or existing neighborhood.

Implementation of certain regulations herein may be implemented with regard to the specific characteristics and location of a development site. REMU districts should be located adjacent to or near planned or existing residential development to enhance walking and bicycle use. G. Northeast historic mixed-use district - intent and purpose. (38.14.010) 1. The intent of the northeast historic mixed-use district is to provide recognition of an area that has developed with a blend of uses not commonly seen under typical zoning requirements. The unique qualities and nature of the area are not found elsewhere in the city and should be preserved as a place offering additional opportunities for creative integration of land uses. The intent of this area is to allow private and case-by-case determination of the most appropriate use of land in a broad range of both nonresidential and residential uses. Standards for buffering between different land uses are deliberately not as high as standards elsewhere in the BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 177 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft community as it is assumed that persons choosing to locate in this area are aware of the variety of possible adjacent land uses and have accepted such possibilities as both acceptable and desirable. It is expected that the lots within this district will continue to develop under a variety of uses which may increase or decrease in scope in any given portion of the district. 2. The clear intent of this district is to support a mix and variety of nonresidential and residential uses. Nothing in division 38.300 of this article shall be interpreted to be discouraging or prejudicial to any listed use except as set forth as principal and conditional uses. Sec. 38.300.120. - Industrial zoning districts - intent and purpose. (38.12.010) A. The intent and purpose of the industrial zoning districts is to establish areas within the city that are primarily industrial in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for development within those areas. The purpose in having more than one industrial district is to provide opportunities for a variety of employment and community service functions within the community while providing predictability. There is a rebuttable presumption that the uses set forth for each district will be compatible with each other when the standards of this chapter are met and any applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied. Additional requirements for development apply within overlay districts. A. Light manufacturing district (M-1). 1. The intent of the M-1 light manufacturing district is to provide for the community's needs for wholesale trade, storage and warehousing, trucking and transportation terminals, light manufacturing and similar activities. The district should be oriented to major transportation facilities yet arranged to minimize adverse effects on residential development, therefore, some type of screening may be necessary. B. Manufacturing and industrial district (M-2). 2. The intent of the M-2 manufacturing and industrial district is to provide for heavy manufacturing and industrial uses, servicing vocational and employment needs of city residents. C. Business park district (B-P). 3. The intent of the B-P business park district is to provide for high quality settings and facilities for the development of a variety of compatible employment opportunities. These areas should be developed so as to recognize the impact on surrounding or adjacent development and contribute to the overall image of the community. Compatibility with adjacent land uses and zoning is required. Requirements for creation of a historic mixed-use district. (Article 15) A. Description and purpose. Due to historical development patterns, certain areas of the city are characterized by a mixture of uses such as residential and commercial uses, or residential and industrial uses, which are normally segregated under standard zoning districts. In some instances, provisions for a continuation of a mixture of uses will serve both the public interest and allow a more equitable balancing of private interests than would the utilization of a standard zoning district. Because of the variety of circumstances which exist in different areas of the city, and the different treatment accorded those areas in the growth policy, it is not possible to establish a zoning district with uniform listing of uses and standards which is applicable to all such areas. Therefore, the historic mixed-use (HMU) district is intended to provide procedures and criteria for recognition of such areas and for the development of standards governing each application of the district to a particular area. It is further intended that the HMU district will be very selectively used and shall not be used as a mechanism to discourage development of any permitted use within the district. B. Criteria for establishment of the historic mixed-use district. Before any area is designated as a HMU district, the city commission shall make affirmative findings that: BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 178 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 1. The area to be classified as a HMU district includes the approximate equivalent of at least one standard city block of 300 feet by 300 feet, not held in single ownership unless developed over time while held in multiple ownership; 2. A special study of the area has been completed showing how the proposed historic mixed-use district would be integrated with the surrounding area consistent with the objectives of the growth policy and other applicable policies adopted by the city; 3. At least 50 percent of the lots to be classified as an historic mixed-use district are already developed with structures; 4. The existing development has occurred over a period of years and is characterized by a mixture of uses not permissible under a single zoning classification and includes a representative sampling of uses in the immediate area; 5. None of the standard zoning districts are capable of, or suitable for, promoting the objectives of the growth policy applicable to preexisting nonconforming uses; 6. The uses to be permitted within the HMU district will be compatible with one another and will provide a functional and healthful environment; and 7. The uses to be permitted and the development standards to be applied in the proposed district will promote the objectives of the growth policy and other applicable policies adopted by the city. C. Historic mixed-use district elements. 1. Because the HMU district is designed to be applied to diverse situations, the specific mixture of uses permitted and the development standards required will have to be specified for each application of the district to a particular area. Therefore, the ordinance applying the HMU district to a specific area shall contain the following elements: a. A description and purpose section setting forth the specific purposes the district is intended to accomplish in the particular situation; b. A use section setting forth the activities or categories of activities to be permitted, or the performance standards to be used in evaluating specific activities. This section shall govern the uses within a particular HMU district; and c. A standards section setting forth general development standards governing parking, lot coverage, setbacks, height limitations and other factors which are either different from or supplemental to the normal standards of this chapter. 2. Exemption. When an area has been classified as an HMU district, the general building and development standards set forth in this chapter shall govern. However, if the special development standards set forth under section 38.300.130.C.1.c are more restrictive than the general development standards, the special development standards set forth under subsection C of this section shall prevail. D. Initiation, procedures and notice. Application for HMU district designation shall be administered under the provisions established in division 38.260, Text and Map Amendments, of this chapter. Sec. 38.300.130. - Public lands and institutions district - intent. (38.13.010) The intent of the PLI public lands and institutions district is to provide for major public and quasi-public uses outside of other districts. Not all public and quasi-public uses need to be classified PLI. Some may fit within another district;, however, larger areas will be designated PLI. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 179 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.310 Permitted Uses (related portions of Articles 8-14) Sec. 38.310.010. – Interpretation of land use tables. (38.08.020 and new) A. Uses in the various districts are depicted in Tables 38.310.030-.040. Principal uses are indicated with a "P," conditional uses are indicated with a "C," special uses are indicated with a “S”, accessory uses are indicated with an "A" and uses which are not permitted within the district are indicated by a "-." B. Additional uses for wireless facilities are contained in sections 38.370.010 to 38.370.040. C. The uses listed are deliberately broad and some are given special definitions in article 7 of this chapter. The intent of this method is to provide general guidance for uses while allowing the unique needs and circumstances of each proposal to be specifically addressed through the review process. Some uses are the subject of special regulations contained in division 38.360 of this article. D. Clarification of permitted uses and special conditions: 1. If a * appears after the use, then the use is defined in article 7. 2. Where a code section is referenced after the use, then the use is subject to the additional standards in that code section. 3. If a number appears in the box, then the use may be allowed subject to development condition(s) described in the footnotes immediately following the table. If there are multiple numbers, then the use is subject to all applicable development conditions. 4. Where a number with a “sf” reference appears below a P or C in the box, it means that the use is permitted or conditionally permitted up to the (maximum) listed square footage in gross building area. 5. If more than one letter–number combination appears in the box (e.g., P2, 3), the use is allowed in the zone subject to different sets of limitations or conditions depending on the review process indicated by the letter, the general requirements of the code and the specific conditions indicated in the development condition with the corresponding number immediately following the table. Sec. 38.310.020. - Classification of particular uses; community development director and city commission authority. (38.07.050) A. When a use is not clearly defined or otherwise identified in the code so that it may be determined if it is allowed within a district TtheA. The community development director must determine the appropriate classification of a particular use. In making this determination, the community development director must find: 1. That the use is the same as one or more uses permitted in the district wherein it is proposed to be located; or 2. That the use is so similar to one or more uses permitted in the district wherein it is proposed to be located as to be interpreted as the same, so long as: a. The use and its operation are compatible comparable with the uses permitted in the district wherein the use is proposed to be located, in terms of: i. The amount, type, and pattern of vehicular traffic anticipated for the use;, and ii. The expected outdoor uses and activities associated with the use.; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 180 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft b. The use will not cause substantial injury to values of property in the neighborhood or district wherein it is proposed to be located; and c. Neither the intent of this chapter nor the intent of the district will be abrogated by such classification. Persons objecting to thea decision of the community development director regarding a classification of a use carry the burden of proof to establish error in the decision. B. If a question arises concerning the appropriate classification of a particular use, the community development director may submit the question to the city commission to determine whether the particular use is the same or so similar as to be interpreted the same as a listed permitted or conditional use. In making such a determination, the city commission must find that the criteria set forth in either subsection A.1 or 2 of this section are met. C. If a specific use is not listed and cannot be interpreted to be the same, or so similar so as to be interpreted the same, as a listed accessory, principal or conditional use, the use must not be allowed. However, an amendment to the text of this chapter may be submitted for review and approval pursuant to the requirements of this chapter to allow such use as a listed principal, conditional or accessory use (as defined in section 38.700.020).

The proposed site layout, building, and landscape design shall promote natural surveillance of the area by employees, visitors, and residents. Physical features and activities should be oriented and designed in ways that maximize the ability to see throughout the site. For example, window placement, the use of front porches or stoops, use of low or see-through walls, and appropriate use of landscaping and lighting can promote natural surveillance. Sight-obscuring shrubs and walls should be avoided, except as necessary for buffering between commercial uses and lower density residential districts, and then shall be minimized. GH. Public spaces. The UMU district is urban in nature. Public parks and recreational areas are likewise expected to be urban in nature. This will include elements such as plazas or other hardscapes, landscaping with planters, furniture, developed recreation facilities such as basketball and tennis courts or indoor recreation facilities, and will be more concentrated in size and development than anticipated in a less urban setting. The requirements of this section must give direction in the development of park plans and the application of the standards of division 38.420 of this chapter. The parkland dedication requirements of division 38.420 of this chapter may be satisfied by a cumulative contribution of land and the value of on-site improvements to create spaces with the characteristics and functions described in this section. Development within the UMU district may also utilize any of the options of sections 38.420.030 and 38.420.100 to satisfy the requirements of section 38.420.020.A, BMC.

When a lot is adjacent to or across the street from a residential zoning district, the yardsetback requirements must be the same as the adjoining zone and buildings must be screened with either a decorative fence or plantings. The provisions of R-S must be interpreted as those of R-1. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 222 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.340 Overlay district standards (Articles 16-18) Part 1: Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District & Historic Preservation Sec. 38.340.010. – Intent and purpose. (38.16.010) A. All new construction, alterations to existing structures, movement of structures into or out of the neighborhood conservation overlay district, hereinafter referred to as the conservation district, or demolition of structures by any means or process will be subject to design review unless specifically exempted. The recommendations of the design review board or administrative design review staff must be given careful consideration in the final action of the review authority. B. Sections 38.340.010 through 38.340.130 define and set forth standards which apply to the conservation district. C. The intent and purpose of the conservation district designation is to stimulate the restoration and rehabilitation of structures, and all other elements contributing to the character and fabric of established residential neighborhoods and commercial or industrial areas. New construction will be invited and encouraged provided primary emphasis is given to the preservation of existing buildings and further provided the design of such new space enhances and contributes to the aesthetic character and function of the property and the surrounding neighborhood or area. Contemporary design will be encouraged, provided it is in keeping with the above-stated criteria, as an acknowledged fact of the continuing developmental pattern of a dynamic, changing community. The neighboring community shall be provided notice and opportunity to comment upon the proposed property improvements in accordance with division 38.220 of this chapter. In addition, aggrieved persons shall have the right to appeal any design review decision made under the provisions of this article, in accordance with division 38.250 of this chapter. D. In view of the fact that most of the area included within the boundaries of the conservation district was developed and built out prior to the adoption of zoning and contemporary subdivision regulations, the construction, development pattern and range of uses is highly diverse and may not be in compliance with conventional regulatory requirements. This part (1) recognizes that this diversity is a contributing element of the historic character of these neighborhoods or areas. The provisions of this part (1) must be applied in a manner that will encourage the protection and enhancement of the many diverse features for future generations. E. The conservation district boundary is largely coterminous with the area surveyed in the effort that led to the listing of nine historic districts and 40 additional landmark structures in the National Register of Historic Places, and includes the nine designated historic districts and 40 individual landmarks. The district boundary may be revised as additional cultural resource survey work is completed. This part (1) sets forth the means of protecting and enhancing the conservation district. F. It is further the purpose of the conservation district designation to protect and enhance neighborhoods or areas of significant land planning or architectural character, historic landmarks or other built or natural features for the educational, cultural, economic benefit or enjoyment of citizens of the city. It will be the policy and responsibility of the administrative entities of this part (1) to: 1. Protect, preserve, enhance and regulate historically significant structures, archaeological or cultural sites, and areas that: a. Are reminders of past eras, events or persons important in local, state or national history; b. Provide significant examples of land planning or architectural styles, or are landmarks in the history of land planning and architecture; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 223 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. Are unique or irreplaceable assets to the city and its neighborhoods; d. Provide examples of physical surroundings in which past generations lived; or e. Represent and express the unique characteristics of small agricultural-based, western city developmental patterns; 2. Enhance property values through the stabilization of neighborhoods and areas of the city, increase economic and financial benefits to the city and its inhabitants, and promote tourist trade and interests; 3. Develop and maintain the appropriate environment for buildings, structures, sites and areas, that reflect varied planning and architectural styles and distinguished phases of the city's history and prehistory; 4. Stimulate an enhancement of human life by developing educational and cultural dimensions, which foster the knowledge of the city's heritage, and cultivate civic pride in the accomplishments of the past; 5. Seek to maintain and enhance the many private and public elements that are unique to the fabric, theme and character of each neighborhood and area, including, but not limited to: lighting, pathways, street trees, natural areas and other features that may, from time to time, be identified by the citizens and property owners’ of neighborhoods, areas and subsections thereof. G. It is further the purpose of this article to protect historic structures and sites as defined in article 7 of this chapter by requiring any person seeking to demolish or move a historic structure or site to comply with 38.230.080 whether or not the structure is located within the NCOD. Sec. 38.340.020. - Design review board and administrative design review staff powers and duties within conservation districts. (38.16.020) A. The DRB and administrative design review staff will review and make recommendations to the review authority regarding development within the neighborhood conservation district in order to maintain the underlying and desirable characteristics of structures and areas within such districts, while recognizing the need for innovation and individual expression in the development of these districts. B. In carrying out this mission, in addition to the duties established in division 38.200 of this chapter, the design review board and administrative design review staff must have the duty to review any tax abatement or other incentive programs being considered by the city commission that are designed to stimulate preservation and rehabilitation of structures and properties, and to review any proposed action or development utilizing these abatement or incentive programs. Sec. 38.340.030. - Conservation district designation or recession. (38.16.030) A site, structure, object, area or district may be designated or rescinded as a landmark, or added to or removed from the conservation district by the city commission upon recommendation of the Historic Preservation Advisory Board subject to the provisions of division 6, Historic Preservation Advisory Board of article 5, chapter 2, and division 38.260, Text and Map Amendments, of this chapter. Property owner concurrence is necessary for the designation or recision of landmark status. Sec. 38.340.040. - Certificate of appropriateness. (38.16.040) A. A certificate of appropriateness must is be required before any and all alteration(s) other than those specifically exempted in subsection 1. of this section, or repair(s) as defined in section 38.700.160 of this chapter, are undertaken upon any structure in the conservation district. The review authority for certificates of appropriateness is established in division 38.220 of this chapter. Compliance with BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 224 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft the terms of the final decision is required. The Montana Historical and Architectural Inventory Form must be reviewed and, if necessary, updated by the historic preservation staff to reflect current conditions on the site, prior to the review of the proposal. Application procedures are as follows: 1. No building, demolition, conditional use, sign or moving permit must may be issued within the conservation district until a certificate of appropriateness has been issued by the appropriate review authority, and until final action on the proposal has been taken. a. Limited exceptions. The following construction located within the neighborhood conservation overlay district, within an established historic district, or at a site which is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Preservation, does not require a certificate of appropriateness if the project satisfies the following standards: (1) Fences meeting all other provisions of this chapter (e.g. height limitations, street vision triangle, finished side out, etc. per section 38.410.130) which are built of wood, wrought-iron, or any other non-synthetic material and whose construction allows "transparency" as set forth in Chapter 3, Section F of the design guidelines referenced in section 38.340.050.D. Chain link fencing is not included in this exception. (2) Basement egress windows whose window material and configuration is present elsewhere in the structure, and whose window wells are not on the front or corner- side yardsetback elevation of the structure, and which do not establish or provide egress from an illegal dwelling unit. (3) Accessory structures under 120 square feet as measured from the outer edge of the exterior walls, which meet the setback requirements, are not more than 14 feet to their highest point and which do not require a building permit. (4) Alterations in roofing material, if installing wood shingle, slate, tile, or asphalt shingle material, and no changes are made to the roof shape, pitch or slope. 2. Application, review and public notice procedures for proposals located within the conservation district are set forth in division 38.230, Review Procedures for Site Development, Development Review Committee, Design Review Board, Administrative Design Review and Wetlands Review Board, and division 38.220, Applications and Noticing, of this chapter. If demolition or movement of structures or sites subject to the conservation district requirements is proposed, the procedures in section 38.340.080 must apply. 3. The architectural designs of individual workforce housing units used to satisfy the requirements of section 10.08.040 and meeting the requirements of section 10.08.070A.1.m are exempt from the review requirements of this part (1). This exemption does not extend to removal or alterations of existing structures. Sec. 38.340.050. - Standards for certificates of appropriateness. (38.16.050) A. All work performed in completion of an approved certificate of appropriateness must be in conformance with the most recent edition of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (published 1995), published by U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Cultural Resource Stewardship and Partnerships, Heritage Preservation Services, Washington, D.C. (available for review at the community development department). B. Architectural appearance design guidelines used to consider the appropriateness and compatibility of proposed alterations with original design features of subject structures or properties, and with neighboring structures and properties, must focus upon the following: 1. Height; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 225 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. Proportions of doors and windows; 3. Relationship of building masses and spaces; 4. Roof shape; 5. Scale; 6. Directional expression, with regard to the dominant horizontal or vertical expression of surrounding structures; 7. Architectural details; 8. Concealment of non-period appurtenances, such as mechanical equipment; and 9. Materials and color schemes (any requirements or conditions imposed regarding color schemes must be limited to the prevention of nuisances upon abutting properties and prevention of degradation of features on the property in question. Color schemes may be considered as primary design elements if a deviation from the underlying zoning is requested). C. Contemporary, non-period and innovative design of new structures and additions to existing structures must beis encouraged when such new construction or additions do not destroy significant historical, cultural or architectural structures or their components and when such design is compatible with the foregoing elements of the structure and surrounding structures. D. When applying the standards of subsections A through C of this section, the review authority must be guided by the design guidelines for the neighborhood conservation overlay district which are hereby incorporated by this reference. Application of the design guidelines may vary by property as explained in the introduction to the design guidelines. When reviewing a contemporary, non-period, or innovative design for new structures or additions to existing structures, the review authority must be guided by the design guidelines for the neighborhood conservation overlay district to determine whether the proposal is compatible with any existing or surrounding structures. E. Conformance with other applicable development standards of this chapter. Development in the NCOD must comply with all other applicable development standards of this chapter.Where there is a conflict between the neighborhood conservation overlay district design guidelines and other development standards in this chapter, the neighborhood conservation overlay district design guidelines take precedence, as determined by the reviewing authority. F. Tax abatement certificate of appropriateness applications are also reviewed with the procedures and standards established in chapter 2, article 6, division 2. Sec. 38.340.060. - Application requirements for certificates of appropriateness in conservation districts. (38.16.060) Applications for certificates of appropriateness must be made in conjunction with applications for site plan approval in accordance with division 38.230 of this chapter. Where development projects in the conservation district require only sketch plan review as per division 38.230 of this chapter (i.e., single- household, two-household, three-household and four-household residential structures, each on individual lots; signs; fences; property alterations; and certain amendments to site plans), applications for certificates of appropriateness must be made on a form provided by the community development department, and must include the information and material as set forth in division 38.220 of this chapter. Sec. 38.340.070. - Deviations from underlying zoning requirements. (38.16.070) A. Because the development of much of historic Bozeman preceded zoning, subdivision and construction regulations, manysome buildings within the conservation district do not conform to contemporary zoning standards. In order to encourage restoration and rehabilitation activity that BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 226 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft would contribute to the overall historic character of the community, deviations from underlying zoning requirements may be granted as described in division 38.250 of this chapter. The criteria for granting deviations from the underlying zoning requirements are: 1. Modifications must be more historically appropriate for the building and site in question and the adjacent properties, as determined by the standards in section 38.340.050, than would be achieved under a literal enforcement of this chapter; 2. Modifications will have minimal adverse effects on abutting properties or the permitted uses thereof; and 3. Modifications must assure the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. Approvals may be conditioned to assure such protection, and such conditions may include a time period within which alterations will be completed; landscaping and maintenance thereof; architectural, site plan and landscape design modifications,; or any other conditions in conformity with the intent and purpose set forth in this part (1). Sec. 38.340.080. – Review of demolition or movement of historic structures or sites. (38.16.080) A. The demolition or movement of any structure or site must be subject to the provisions of this article. This process applies to: 1. Historic properties and sites, as defined in article 7 of this chapter. 2. Non-historic properties per 38.340.100. 3. Unsafe structures whether historic or non-historic per 38.340.110. The provisions for unsafe structures take priority over other provisions for demolition. B. An application to move or demolish a structure subject to this article must follow the applicable review procedures. C. Optional provisional review of demolition. A property owner may request provisional review of the proposed demolition of a structure subject to this article prior to submittal of a certificate of appropriateness application for seeking demolition of the structure. The director of community development may establish criteria for the application for provisional review of demolition. Provisional review is advisory only and does not constitute approval to demolish a structure. Provisional review must consider: 1. The property’s historic significance. 2. Whether the structure has no viable economic life remaining. “No viable economic life remaining” means the costs of repair and/or rehabilitation to bring the structure to a habitable condition as established by the applicable technical codes in Article 10.02, exceed the costs of demolition and redevelopment to minimum standards with a building of the same type and scale. Sec. 38.340.090. - Demolition or movement of a historic structure or site. (new per Ordinance 1920) A. Certificate of appropriateness (COA) for demolition and subsequent development. Approval of the proposed subsequent development is required for all historic structures proposed for demolition and for the proposed movement of any structure or site. B. Public notice. Proposals for demolition of historic properties within the city limits require public notice. Notice of application(s) must be provided in accordance with division 38.220 of this chapter. C. Criteria. The reviewing authority must consider the following factors in evaluating applications for demolition or movement of a historic structure or site and subsequent redevelopment: BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 227 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 1. The property’s historic significance. 2. Whether the structure has no viable economic life remaining. “No viable economic life remaining” means the costs of repair and/or rehabilitation to bring the structure to a habitable condition as established by the applicable technical codes in Article 10.02, exceed the costs of demolition and redevelopment to minimum standards with a building of the same type and scale. 3. Whether the subsequent development complies with 38.340.050. 4. Whether the subsequent development includes construction of new building(s) unless the existing character of the area does not include buildings. 5. Subsequent development requires a building permit and does not include proposals which leave the site without building(s) or structure(s). Notwithstanding the above, for projects proposing the removal of a historic structure, which do not qualify for sketch plan review pursuant to 38.230.070, the review authority, may determine the proposed subsequent site development is more appropriate for the site based on the criteria in 38.230.100. D. Review process. 1. Upon application for a COA for demolition and subsequent development the review authority may: a. Grant preliminary or final approval of the demolition with standard contingencies and/or project specific conditions. b. Deny the Certificate of AppropriatenessOA application. 2. COA approval. a. Preliminary COA approval. After preliminary approval with contingencies or conditions requiring follow up work, the applicant may apply for final COA approval and must demonstrate compliance with development standards and completion of contingencies and conditions, including documentation. T, the review authority must approve the COA for demolition and subsequent development. b. Final COA approval. If the submitted application materials demonstrate compliance with development standards and completion of contingencies and conditions, including documentation, the Review review Authority authority must approve the COA for demolition and subsequent development. 3. If an application for demolition or moving is denied due to failure to meet 38.340.090.C issuance of a demolition or moving permit must be stayed for a period of two years from the date of the denial in order to allow the applicant and city to explore alternatives to the demolition or move, including, but not limited to, the use of tax credits or adaptive reuse. The two-year stay may be terminated at any point in time if an alternate proposal is approved or if sufficient additional evidence is presented to otherwise satisfy the requirements of this section. a. Early termination of two-year stay. An owner of property subject to a stay under this section may seek early termination of the stay if the owner demonstrates it s/he has actively and in good faith sought alternatives to demolition. These alternatives may include but are not limited to: listing the property for sale as a historic property; actively seeking input from neighborhood groups and interested parties; exploringed alternative funding sources for stabilization and/or reconstruction; and offering the property for relocation. b. If, upon expiration of the two-year stay of demolition, no alternate proposals have been approved or sufficient evidence has not been presented to otherwise terminate the stay, an BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 228 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft application for a demolition permit may be presented to the city pursuant to Chapter 10, article 3 or 4 of this Code. If all requirements of the demolition permit are satisfied, including documentation of the structure to be moved or demolished and the review authority has approved the subsequent development and has issued a building permit issued for the subsequent development, a demolition permit pursuant to chapterChpt. 10, article 3 or 4 must be granted and no other proceedings under this chapter are required. c. The two-year stay does not begin to run if denial of a COA to demolish a historic structure or site is based on the failure of the applicant to make a complete and adequate submittal or to propose a subsequent treatment which complies with the standards of this chapter. 4. Standard requirements. a. Subsequent development of the site must receive zoning approval, building permit approval, and pay all related fees prior to issuance of a demolition permit. b. Documentation of the structure must be completed and submitted to the historic preservation officer and deemed complete and adequate prior to issuance of a demolition permit per paragraph 38.340.120. c. The review authority may require a developer to enter into a development agreement with the city at the time of issuance of a certificate of appropriateness authorizing demolition of all or part of a historic structure in the neighborhood conservation overlay zoning district or in a designated historic district. The development agreement may provide for conditions of demolition, timing of reconstruction, and may require the developer to post a surety bond naming the city as a beneficiary for not more than 10 percent of the costs of the overall reconstruction budget as a guarantee that construction of the replacement structure will commence promptly upon completion of the demolition. This requirement is in addition to any other requirement of this code. Sec. 38.340.100. - Demolition or movement of a non-historic structure or site in the NCOD. (new per Ordinance 1920) A. Certificate of appropriateness (COA) for demolition and subsequent development. Required for all properties proposed for demolition or movement of any structure or site. Subsequent development does not include proposals which leave the site without building(s) or structure(s). B. Public Notice. Notice must be provided in accordance with division 38.220 of this chapter. C. Criteria. 1. The applicable criteria are the COA criteria of 38.340.050. 2. The subsequent development must include construction of new building(s) unless the immediately prior character of the area did not include buildings. D. Review process. 1. Upon application for a COA for demolition and subsequent development the review authority may: a. Grant preliminary or final approval of the demolition with standard contingencies and/or project specific conditions. b. Deny the Certificate of AppropriatenessOA application. 2. COA approval. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 229 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft a. Preliminary COA approval. After preliminary approval with contingencies or conditions requiring follow up work, the applicant may apply for final COA approval and must demonstrate compliance with development standards and completion of contingencies and conditions, including documentation. T, the review authority must approve the COA for demolition and subsequent development. b. Final COA approval. If the submitted application materials demonstrate compliance with development standards and completion of contingencies and conditions, including documentation, the review authority must approve the COA for demolition and subsequent development. 3. Standard requirement. Subsequent treatment of the site must receive zoning approval prior to issuance of a demolition permit. Subsequent treatment may include replacement with a new building, integration of the area into a larger site which will support future development, or reclamation of the site to a safe, graded condition where storm-water runoff and weeds are controlled and landscaping is reestablished. Sec. 38.340.110. - Demolition or movement of an unsafe structure whether historic or non- historic. (new per Ordinance 1920) A Certificate of appropriateness (COA) for demolition and subsequent development. Upon application and the chief building official’s determination that the property is unsafe, the review authority may approve demolition and subsequent development. Subsequent development for an unsafe structure may be its replacement with a new building, integration of the area into a larger site which will support future development, or reclamation of the site to a safe, graded condition where storm- water runoff and weeds are controlled. B. Public notice. Notice must be provided in accordance with division 38.220 of this chapter. C. The demolition of unsafe properties / structures may be subject to the public nuisance abatement provisions of chapter 16, article 2 of this code. Upon the chief building official’s determination that the property is unsafe and declaration of a public nuisance if the property owner does not resolve the unsafe condition, the review authority must give final approval on a COA, which may be initiated by the city, and the demolition permit will be issued so the city may abate a nuisance. D. The provisions of this section may be initiated by a land owner; or by the city in accordance with article 16.02. Sec. 38.340.120. - Documentation and administrative procedures. (new per Ordinance 1920) A. Documentation. All structures or sites approved for demolition or moving must be fully documented. 1. The director of community development must establish by administrative order rules for documentation of non-historic and historic properties. This documentation must be created by a professional who satisfies professional qualification standards for History, Archeology or Architectural History, as established by the National Park Service and published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 CFR Part 61. 2. Documentation may be submitted as early in the process as the property owner desires to support the requested action, and to further the consideration and review of the request, but not later than prior to issuance of a building permit. B. A building permit application, in accordance with applicable codes and requirements, must be submitted and approved before any demolition or construction is allowed. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 230 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. All fees and charges applicable to review of the request for demolition and construction of the subsequent development (e.g. parkland, water rights, impact fees) must be paid prior to issuance of a building or demolition permit. 1. When required by the city, this must include a financial security in a form approved by the city attorney ensuring completion of the demolition and reclamation of the site to a safe condition. D. In addition to the remedies in division 38.220 of this chapter, the owner of any structure or site that is demolished or moved contrary to the provisions of this section, and any contractor performing such work, may be required to reconstruct such structure or site in a design and manner identical to its condition prior to such illegal demolition or move, and in conformance with all applicable codes and regulations. Sec. 38.340.130. - Safe condition and good repair. (new per Ordinance 1920) Each property or structure located in the NCOD conservation district must be maintained in safe condition and good repair as required in 16.02.030 and 16.02.040.

Internal circulation in a condominium development must be designed in accordance with division 38.540 of this chapter, and must, when deemed necessary by the city engineer, comply with section 38.400.020. D. Condominiums may be subject to chapter 38, division 380. Sec. 38.360.100. - Convenience uses and drive-through/drive-in restaurants. (38.22.100) A. In addition to applicable building design standards in division 38.530 of this chapter, the following supplemental aArchitectural guidelines shall must apply:. 1. All convenience uses must be designed with an architectural and design character that is appropriate for and compatible with the area, and shall also comply with all applicable design standards and guidelines including the design objectives plan for entry way corridors; 2. Use of sStandardized corporate identification themes integrated into the architectural design is generally not acceptableand is considered sign area and is subject to the requirements of division 38.560. Excessive use of such themes may be used as grounds for denial of the project; 3. When located in shopping centers, the architectural character of the building must be integrated with the design theme of the center through the use of the same building materials, shapes and details. The effect of color in creating a design character that is appropriate for and compatible with the area will be considered. All parking, circulation, drivewaysdrive aisles, setbacks and signage must be integrated with the entire design theme of the project; and 4. The elevation design of the building must provide design character and detailing on all four sides; and. 5. Screening of drive- through areas may be required to control glare toaffecting public right- of- way or adjacent properties. B. Noise from drive-through speakers must not be audible from adjacent residential districts. Sec. 38.360.110. – Cottage housing subdivisions. (38.22.240 – Ordinance 1952) A. Purpose and intent. 1. The purpose of this section is to achieve the goals and objectives of the Land Use and Housing chapters of Bozeman’s growth policy and the goals of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, division 38.380Article 38.43. Cottage housing enables higher density development by allowing smaller lots, smaller home sizes, and clustered home sites, which are subject to design standards. This housing development option encourages more efficient use of land and energy. 2. Cottage housing development regulations are designed to: a. Provide opportunities for creative, diverse and high quality infill and greenfield development that is compatible with existing neighborhoods;. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 247 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft b. Support development of diverse housing in accordance with the growth policy; c. Increase the variety of housing types available within the community; d. Support the creation of neighborhoods with a mix of housing opportunities for mixed incomes; and e. Provide opportunities for small, detached cottages within existing neighborhoods.; and f. Support more efficient use of urban residential land;. B. Goals. Cottage housing developments are to achieve: 1. Increase housing supply and the choice of housing styles available in the community as encouraged by the growth policy; 2. Provide for development of housing that responds to changing demographics and smaller-sized households; 3. Support the efficient use of land and higher density infill in developed areas; 4. Promote housing affordability and greater choice by encouraging smaller and more diverse home sizes; 5. Promote high-quality housing design to minimize impacts of more dense development on adjacent properties; 6. Allow flexibility in site and design standards while promoting infill projects compatible with existing single-household developments; 7. Ensure cottage housing contributes to the overall character of residential areas; 8. Provide for centrally located and functional common open space that fosters a sense of community; 9. Provide for semi-private areas around individual cottages to enable diversity in landscape design and foster a sense of ownership; 10. Minimize visual impacts of parking areas; and 11. Provide opportunities for creative, diverse and high quality developments compatible with existing neighborhoods. C. Affordable housing applicability. The requirements of division 38.380chapter 38 article 43, unless specifically modified in this article, apply to all cottage housing subdivisions regardless of the number of cottages proposed to be included in the development. Notwithstanding the provisions of division 38.38038.43, a cottage housing subdivision must provide at least one lower-priced home, or three moderate-priced homes. A cottage housing subdivision may have more affordable homes than the required minimum. D. Cottage housing subdivisions. 1. Cottage housing developments involve the subdivision of a parcel of land, referred to herein as the primary lot, into: a) dependent lots for individual dwellings;, and b) a private common area for the common use of the owners of the dependent lots. 2. The review procedures for cottage housing subdivisions are as follows: a. For the creation of five or fewer lots, the provisions for approval of a first minor subdivision apply;. b. For the creation of six or more lots, the provisions for approval of a major subdivision apply;. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 248 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. A cottage housing subdivision is exempt from subdivision review pursuant to 38.240.31005.020.A.7 if; (1) The primary lot was previously reviewed as part of a subdivision; (2) All public street, water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure (excluding individual services to proposed lots and internal main extensions) is installed; and (3) All park requirements applicable to the proposed density of dwellings have been satisfied. d. Cottage housing subdivisions meeting the requirements of 38.360.11022.240.D.2.c must: (1) Include notice to the public equal to that required for a site plan in Table 38.220.42038.40.030; and (2) The subdivision application is subject to review for acceptability and adequacy pursuant to 38.230.09038.19.090. 3. Requirements and restrictions. a. The development as a whole must meet the development standards of this chapter applicable at the time the subdivision application is deemed adequate. b. The primary lot must meet the size, length, width, frontage, and similar development standards of this cChapter 38. c. Homes on dependent lots do not need to meet the lot size, lot coverage, lot configuration, or setback requirements (except watercourse and overlay district) in this chapter 38 except as shown in table 38.360.11022.240.G-1. Private open space for each cottage must be provided on the same lot as the cottage it serves and any structure must be within the boundary of the dependent lot. d. Lot subdivisions and subsequent platting actions, additions or modifications to the structure(s) may not create or increase any nonconformity of the primary lot. e. Notes on the conditions of approval page of the plat must include the restrictions applicable to the dependent lots including but not limited to: (1) The dependent lot is not a buildable lot independent of the primary lot and associated cottage housing development; (2) Additional development of the dependent lots may be limited as a result of the application of development standards applicable to the primary lot; (3) Any and all restrictions that apply to the common open areas; and (4) Permitted cottage square footages. f. A cottage housing subdivision may use the concurrent construction provisions of 38.270.03038.39.030.D without the requirement of a planned unit development. g. Reciprocal joint use and maintenance agreements, for each dependent lot within the primary lot, must be executed for access, use and maintenance of common garage or parking areas, common open area and other similar features, and recorded with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder’s Office along with the final plat. h. A cottage housing subdivision must include establishment of a property owner’s association which meets the requirements of 38.220.31038.38.020 and 38.220.32038.38.030. The property owner’s association must hold title to and maintain all common areas. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 249 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft i. Separation or use of a dependent lot in a manner contrary to the approved cottage housing subdivision is a material modification of the project and subject to 38.100.07038.01.070. j. If a subdivision exemption is used to create a cottage housing subdivision, installation of all required water and sewer mains and services, parking areas, and similar features must be completed and accepted by the cCity prior to recording of the subdivision exemption; or the developer may enter into an improvements agreement to secure the same work. k. The following modifications require compliance with 38.100.07038.01.070: (1) Increasing the number of cottages; (2) Altering the character of the development by relocating common spaces, adding or removing common buildings, or changing the design of more than 20 percent of the cottages; (3) Increasing the floor area in one building by more than 10 percent; (4) Changing access points to the primary lot; (5) Moving buildings around on the site; (6) Reducing the area of common open spaces by more than two percent; or (7) Diminishing the effectiveness of perimeter buffers. E. Density standards. 1. The following density standards apply to cottage housing subdivisions and replace those listed in sections 38.320.02008 and 38.320.03009. A “cluster” refers to a group of cottages oriented toward a common open area. a. Up to two cottages may be built for each non-cottage single-household dwelling allowed under the zoning applied to the property. b. Existing single-household dwellings on the primary lot will count towards total units. If the existing dwelling exceeds the maximum allowed gross floor area of a cottage it counts as two cottages in determining maximum allowed density. c. Minimum units per cottage cluster: four. d. Maximum units per cottage cluster: 12. e. Maximum units per cottage housing development: 24. f. Cottage housing subdivisions must be spaced so that the total number of cottages within the area defined by a 500-foot radius from the geographic center of a proposed cottage housing subdivision is no more than 24. The number of cottages within a proposed development is included in the total allowed within the defined area. g. Accessory dwelling units are not allowed within a cottage development. 2. Existing dwellings. An existing detached single-household dwelling that is incorporated into a cottage housing subdivision as a residence and which exceeds the standards of this section may remain and will be counted as one or more of the allowed units. However, the extent of the noncompliance may not be increased unless the proposed change is determined by the rReview aAuthority to be consistent in character, scale and design with the cottage housing development. Repair, maintenance and reconstruction of a non-conforming dwelling are regulated by division 38.28038.32. An existing dwelling may be replaced with cottage units consistent with this section. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 250 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft F. Departures from the design standards in this section. 1. An applicant may request departures from the provisions of paragraphs G-I of this section. Departures must be consistent with the purpose, intent and requirements of this section. 2. The applicant must describe each requested departure, and document in writing how the departure is consistent with the purpose, intent and requirements of this section. 3. A departure mustay not exceed 10 percent of any numeric standard. A departure may not alter procedural requirements. A departure may only apply to the application of standards internal to the primary lot and not to standards applicable to the separation or interaction of cottage housing to an adjacent parcel. 4. The review authority may approve a departure after documenting in writing that the departure is consistent with the intent, purpose and requirements of this chapter; and do not threaten the public health, safety, or welfare. G. Design standards. The cottage housing option minimizes the required sizes of side, rear, and front yardsetbacks on dependent lots. As a result, small lots are ultimately shaped by building configuration. Designers should consider how the arrangement of interior space affects exterior massing and how the configuration of building elements responds to adjacent buildings. Design strategies incorporating neighborhood context include considerations of: building height transitions, arrangement of buildings and open space, landscape elements, vehicular drivewaysdrive aisles and pedestrian paths, and architectural details and scaling devices that break down the massing of the development. With reduced setback requirements and small lot areas, providing access to air, light, and ventilation is more challenging than with typical single dwelling designs. AThus, architects and builders must use the following design standards to take full advantage of the unique design opportunities presented to them to create livable environments. These design standards: 1. Ensure that cottage designs are based on a coherent architectural concept; 2. Ensure that the overall sizes of cottages are smaller and cause less visual impact than standard sized single-household dwellings; 3. Ensure that cottages contribute positively to the architectural character of the neighborhood; 4. Provide flexibility in design and contrast among individual cottages while assuring attention to design features and character; and 5. Provide variety in cottage housing developments through a mixture of building sizes and footprints. The following table establishes specific performance standards for development of cottages and cottage housing. All cottage development must be evaluated against the standards of this table. Table 38.360.130.G-1 Standard Requirement Minimum number of cottages with less than 1,000 square feet gross floor area 25% of total cottages Maximum number of cottage exceeding 1,200 square feet gross floor area 25% of total cottages Maximum gross floor area per cottage 1,500 square feet BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 251 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Maximum cottage footprint 1,000 square feet (includes attached garages) Maximum size of 2nd floor 100% of gross floor area of 1st floor Minimum floor area per cottage Minimum livability standards as defined by Chapter 3 of the International Residential Code Minimum common open space per cottage (See subsection H below for more information) 400 square feet Minimum private open space per cottage (See subsection F.10 below for more information) 200 square feet Maximum height for cottages 25 feet for two stories and 18 feet for single story cottages Maximum dormer size Dormers greater than 40% of sidewall width in aggregate will be considered a floor Setbacks (to exterior property lines of primary lot) See 38.320.02038.08.050 or 38.320.03038.09.030 as applicable; except that porches and steps may encroach up to five feet into a required front yardsetback Maximum height for accessory structures and community buildings 18 feet Minimum distance between detached structures (including accessory structures) Seven feet with allowed eave protrusion into the required distance of up to 18 inches Lot coverage Allowed lot coverage within individual dependent lots – 100% so long as all other standards are met Allowed lot coverage within primary lot – As otherwise restricted in this section 6. Cottage size. Areas within a cottage which do not count toward the gross floor area or footprint calculations: a. Interior spaces with a finished ceiling height of six feet or less, such as in a second floor area under the slope of the roof; b. Unheated storage space located under the ground floor of the cottage; c. Attached unenclosed porches; d. Detached garages; e. Carports; or f. Architectural projections (i.e., bay windows, fireplaces or utility closets) no greater than 12 inches in depth and four feet in width. 7. Documentation of approved cottage size. The total approved square footage of a cottage must not be increased from its approved size by more than two percent. A note must be placed on the conditions of approval sheet of the final plat stating this limitation for each dependent lot and noting the approved size of the cottage for that dependent lot. 8. Roofs. A gable, hipped, or other sloped roof form is required. Non-sloped roofs may be considered as a departure. Dormers are allowed. 9. Orientation of cottages. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 252 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft a. Each cottage must be oriented toward a common open space, and not less than 60 percent of the units must abut the common open space;. b. Dependent lots in a cottage housing development are not required to abut a public street. Lots not abutting a public street must provide legal and physical access from a public street to the dependent lot.; c. Each cottage abutting a public street (not including alleys) must have a secondary entrance, porch, bay window, or other architectural enhancement oriented to the public street. d. Cottages must be oriented arranged around and have the main entry from the common open space. The cottage’s main entries may be either off the common open space or from the public street. 10. Private open space. The private open space required in Table 38.360.11022.240.G-1 must be provided contiguous to each cottage and be contained within the boundary of the dependent lot for the exclusive use of the cottage residents. Orientation of private open spaces toward the common open space is required unless applicant demonstrates that an alternative location provides a superior outcome for both the individual cottage and cottage housing subdivision. The area of an unenclosed porch may be included in the required private open space. Private open space must have no dimension less than 10 feet. 11. Basements. Cottages may have basements. In areas where groundwater is determined to be at a depth of less than nine feet no basement is allowed. 12. Cottages located facing a public street. Cottages located facing a public street must provide: a. A covered entry feature (with a minimum dimension of six feet by six feet) visible from the street; b. At least two architectural details visible from the street, such as: (1) Decorative lighting; (2) Decorative trim; (3) Special door details; (4) Trellis or decorative building element; or (5) Bay window; or. (6) Alternative design treatments, which may be considered by the review authority on a case-by-case basis. 13. Character and diversity. Cottages and accessory buildings within a cluster must be designed within the same family of architectural styles. a. Examples of unifying architectural elements include: (1) Similar building/roof form and pitch; (2) Similar siding materials; (3) Similar porch detailing; and (4) Similar window trim. b. Variety in building and site design. Cottage housing developments must avoid the repetitive use of the same combination of building size, styles, features, and site design elements within an entire cottage housing subdivision and between adjacent dwellings. Dwellings with the BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 253 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft same combination of features and treatments must may not be located adjacent to each other. c. Porches. Porches must create a visual and physical connectivity to the common open space and to other cottages. Cottage porches must: (1) Be unenclosed, covered; (2) Surround or enclose the primary entrance to the cottage; (3) Be oriented toward a common open space or a public street; and (4) Have at least 80 square feet in area with no horizontal dimension shorter than six feet. d. Façade transparency. Transparent windows and/or doors are required on the façades of cottages facing a street and common open space. The area of the windows and doors must be at least 10 percent of the area of the façade on which they are located. 14. Fence design standards. The standards of this paragraph are in addition to the standards of 38.350.060. a. Fencing and screening. The intent of internal decorative fencing and screening is to delineate private yards and to screen parking structures, community assets and cottage walls. A cottage housing development must internally be an open community sharing common areas;. b. Decorative fencing may be used for delineating private yards;. c. Fencing or shrubbery may be used to screen parking areas, community assets, and cottage walls;. d. Dependent lot fencing and shrubbery may not exceed 36 inches in height, except directly adjacent to a parking area. H. Community assets. 1. Common open space. Setbacks and common areas serve a dual function, and therefore deserve particular attention. They act both as habitable outdoor space for owners and as shared areas within the proposed development and the neighborhood. The setback is a visual amenity to the development, neighborhood, and passers-by. Additionally, it serves as a semi-transparent bridge between the private interior of the home and common areas. Landscaping should be visually interesting, sustainable, and relatively easy to maintain. The minimum common open space requirements set forth in this section are intended to provide a sense of openness, visual relief, and community. Common open spaces provide much many of the functions of required rear and front yardsetbacks in sections 38.320.02038.08 and 38.320.03038.09. Common open space must provide a centrally located, focal area for the cottage housing subdivision. a. The total common open space must be at least 1,600 square feet, regardless of the number of units in the cluster;. b. The required common open space may be divided into no more than two separate areas per cluster;. c. To be included as part of the common open space requirement, a common area must have minimum dimensions of 20 feet on all sides;. d. At least two sides of each common open space must have cottages along the perimeter;. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 254 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft e. Common open space must comply with the term’s definition in section 38.700.040with 38.42.630. However, the building footprints of community buildings, excluding garages, are counted towards the common open space requirements. f. Landscaping requirements:. (1) All common open spaces must have landscaping as defined in 38.700.11038.42.1530 except for those portions developed for play structures, common structures, gardens or similar uses. (2) All cottage housing developments must be designed to have a minimum of 160 square feet of tree canopy cover per dwelling at maturity of the species selected for the landscaping. (3) The provisions of 38.550.06038.26.060 do not apply to cottage housing subdivisions. 2. Community buildings. a. Community buildings are permitted in cottage housing developments. b. Community buildings must be clearly incidental in use and size to cottages. c. Design must be similar to and compatible with the design of the cottages. d. Other shared facilities could include tool sheds, gazebos, workshops, or similar common elements. 3. Storage. a. Storage closets for each cottage may be included as part of community buildings or added to garages. b. Storage for gardening supplies or similar shared items may be included as part of a community building. I. Access and parking. 1. Purpose. The intent of these access and parking standards is to minimize the visual impact of vehicles and parking areas for residents of the cottage housing development and adjacent properties and to provide for adequate off-street parking for cottage housing. 2. Off-Street parking. a. No off-street parking space is required to be enclosed. b. Garages may not exceed 125 percent of the minimum width or area required by Table 38.540.02038.25.020 for a single vehicle. c. Guest parking may be clustered with resident parking. Guest parking must be clearly identified as reserved for visitors. d. At least one stall of each parking type must meet the accessibility standards of the building code. e. Enclosed garages may not be located on the façade of the cottage with the primary entrance. Carports or unenclosed parking adjacent to a cottage may be on the façade with the primary entrance. 3. Parking design. The intent of these parking design standards is to create unobtrusive parking, by screening parking structures and spaces from surrounding properties, including screening by architectural design and/or vegetation, and by minimizing the number of contiguous parking spaces. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 255 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft a. Shared detached garage structures may not exceed four garage doors per building and a total footprint of 1,200 square feet. b. Parking must be separated from the common open space, adjacent properties, and public streets by landscaping and/or architectural screening. Solid board fencing is not allowed as an architectural screen. Exception: One parking structure may be adjacent to the common open area, if the garage includes architectural features to make it look consistent with the cottages and community buildings. c. Parking, including garages, must be set back a minimum of 20 feet from a public street. d. The parking layout must be designed to minimize walking distance to cottages. e. A sloped roof is required for all parking structures. f. The design of garages and carports, including roof lines, must be similar to and compatible with that of the cottages within the cottage housing development. g. Parking may be located between or adjacent to cottages or common garages, if it is located toward the rear of the structure and is served by an alley or driveway. h. Parking stalls, circulation areas, and related spaces must comply with division 38.54038.25. If there is a conflict between the division 38.540standards of 38.25 and this paragraph, the provisions of this paragraph apply. 4. Walkways. a. A system of interior paved walkways must connect all cottages with each other, the parking area, and the sidewalks abutting any public streets bordering the cottage housing development. b. Interior walkways must be a minimum of five feet and a maximum of eight feet in width. Sec. 38.360.120. - Essential services. (38.22.230) A. In recognition of Section 69-4-201, MCA, city ordinances cannot conflict with the National Electric Safety Code (NESC). B. In recognition of Section 69-3-102, MCA, vesting control over fees, charges, and tariffs for public utilities in the public service commission, the city does not determine the costs charged to customers for services. C. Essential services of Types I, II, or III operable prior to September 3, 1991, must be considered to have developed under an approved plan, and must be reviewed under section 38.230.160. Reuse, change in use or further development of sites developed prior to September 10, 2014 (Ordinance No. 1893). Sec. 38.360.130. - Group living. (38.22.105) A. Applicability. All group living uses (as defined in section 38.700.080) except for health care facilities and community residential facilities with eight or fewer residents are subject to the standards of this section. B. Density. 1. The density of residents in a group living use is limited to generally approximate and correspond with the density limits that apply to other types of housing in residential zoning districts. Limiting density addresses areas of legitimate public concern and the purposes of zoning as established by the state legislature and adopted locally in section 38.100.040. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 256 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. For the purpose of these regulations, "residents" include all people living at the site, including children; except that people who provide support services, building maintenance, care, and supervision, are not considered residents. 3. Group living use requires the following area of land within the site for each resident. District Name Minimum Area Required per Resident in Square Feet REMU, R4, R-5 and R-O 602 RS 10,890 unless otherwise approved through a planned unit development R1 and RMH 1250 R-2 and R-3 750 C. On-site service and facilities. In any R district other than REMU, on-site services and facilities may be provided only to residents of the group living use. D. Group living is not a substitute for a hotel, motel, or other transitory service facility. Therefore, duration of terms of occupancy for residents is 30 days or greater. E. On-site open space for group living uses is required per section 38.520.060. Sec. 38.360.140. - Home-based businesses. (38.22.110) A. Generally. A home-based business is a use that is considered accessory to a dwelling unit. Buildings combining live/work arrangements located in districts where both the residential and nonresidential uses to be combined are authorized are not subject to the requirements of this section. B. Home-based business as accessory use. 1. The use must be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for residential purposes and must not change the character of the dwelling or adversely affect the uses permitted in the residential district of which it is a part. The home-based business may must not be conducted in an accessory structure, and must comply with the standards of subsection C of this section. 2. Purpose. It is in the intent of this section to eliminate as accessory home-based businesses for all uses except those that conform to the standards set forth in this section. In general, an accessory home-based business is a use so located and conducted that the average neighbor, under normal circumstances, would not be aware of its existence with the exception of permitted signage as allowed by division 38.560 of this chapter. The standards for home-based businesses included in this section are intended to ensure compatibility with other permitted uses and with the residential character of the neighborhood. A clearly accessory or incidental status in relation to the residential use of the main building is the criteria for determining whether a proposed accessory use qualifies as an of-right home-based business. 3. Necessary conditions for accessory use. Accessory home-based businesses are permitted accessory uses in residential districts only so long as all the following conditions are observed: a. Such home-based business must be conducted by resident occupants in their residence with not more than one on-premises halftime nonresident employee; b. No more than 25 percent of the gross area of all structures must shallmay be used for such purpose; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 257 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. No use must may require internal or external alterations or involve construction features or the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structure; d. No home-based business must shallmay cause an increase in the use of any one or more utilities (water, sewer, garbage, etc.) so that the combined total use for dwelling and home- based business purposes exceeds the average for residences in the neighborhood; e. There must shall be no outside storage of any kind related to the home-based business; f. The use may increase vehicular traffic flow and parking by no more than one additional vehicle at a time. Depending on the individual circumstances of each application, an additional off-street parking space may be required; and g. No use must create noise, dust, vibration, smell, smoke, glare, electrical interference, fire hazard or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than that usually experienced in an average residential occupancy in the district in question under normal circumstances wherein no home-based business exists. 4. Notice of intent to operate an accessory home-based business. Any individual applying for a business license, with the intent of operating the business from such person's home, must acknowledge by signature such person's understanding of the requirements and conditions of this chapter. C. Home-based business as conditional use. 1. Purpose. The use must be secondary to the use of the lot for residential purposes and must not be incompatible with the character of the zoning district thereof or adversely affect the principal uses permitted in the residential district of which it is a part. When a home-based business has been established through the CUP process, it means that the owner, lessee or other persons who have a legal right to the use of the dwelling also have the right to conduct the home-based business whether in the principal or an accessory structure. The home-based business must comply with the standards of subsection C.3 of this section. 2. Conditional use. It is the intent of this section to provide, through the conditional use process established in division 38.230 of this chapter, opportunities for home-based businesses which are more intensive in nature than those which would be allowed as an accessory use. In general, a home-based business approved through the conditional use process is an accessory use which complies with the requirements of this chapter and is subordinate to the primary use of the particular lot for residential purposes. The standards for home-based businesses included in this section are intended to ensure compatibility with other permitted uses and with the residential character of the neighborhood. A secondary, but not incidental, status in relation to the residential use of the main building is the criteria for determining whether a proposed use may, under certain circumstances, qualify as a home-based business which may be approved by the conditional use process. As stated in section 38.230.010, conditional uses start from the presumption that they are incompatible with the zoning district but may under specific and limited conditions become compatible. Unless such conditions are found, there is no right to the practice of a home-based business which does not comply with the terms of an accessory home- based business as listed in this section. 3. Necessary conditions for conditional use. Home-based businesses permitted through the conditional use permit process are allowed in residential districts only so long as all the following conditions are observed: a.

Sec. 38.360.150. - Large-scale retail, size limitations and design and site development guidelines and requirements. (38.22.180) A. Purpose. 1. The purpose of this section is to establish general development standards for large scale retail developments. These standards are intended and designed to ensure compatibility of uses; to prevent urban blight, deterioration and decay; and to enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the residents living within the city. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 259 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. These standards are also intended to supplement applicable project design standards of article 5 of this chapter and be used as guidelines for evaluating and assessing the quality and design of proposed large scale retail developments. The particulars of any large scale retail development will be evaluated against their respective standards contained in this division 38.360. It is expected that the quality and design of the large scale retail developments, while not necessarily complying with the exact standards of this division, will meet or exceed the intent behind these standards. 3. Applicability. All uses listed in this division 38.360 must be subject tocomply with the specific standards described for each use, in addition to all other applicable standards which may apply. B. Limitations on size of retail stores. 1. No retail building, utilized by a single tenant, shall exceed 75,000 square feet. 2.

To maintain “eyes on the street” for safety to pedestrians and to create a more welcoming and interesting streetscape. 3. To de-emphasize garages and drivewaysdrive aisles as major visual elements along the street. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 274 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 4. To provide usable open space for residents. 5. To reduce the apparent bulk and scale of large townhouse/rowhouse buildings. 6. To promote architectural variety that adds visual interest to the neighborhood. B. Parking and garage access. Block frontages. Townhouses and rowhouses are subject to the lLandscaped block frontage standards as set forth in section 38.510.030.C. This includes standards for entrances, façade transparency, weather protection, parking, landscaping, and sidewalk widths. Supplemental standards specific to townhouses and rowhouses: 1. Setbacks. See division 38.320 for minimum building and garage setbacks for the applicable district. 2. For buildings with less than five attached units, see section 38.350.050 for parking and garage standards. Private garages facing the street - maximum garage widths: a. 12 feet where townhouse or rowhouse dwellings are at least 30 feet wide. b. Individual garages facing the street are not allowed for townhouse or rowhouse dwellings less than 30 feet wide. Garages may be provided to the rear of the dwelling via alley access or shared driveway as depicted in figure 38.360.240. 3. Buildings with five or more attached units are subject to the landscaped block frontage standards as set forth in section 38.510.030.C. This includes standards for entrances, façade transparency, weather protection, parking, landscaping, and sidewalk widths. 4. Individual garages facing the street are not allowed in the B-3 district when an alley is adjacent to the property. 5. See section 38.400.090.C. for driveway standards. Figure 38.360.240. Townhouse/rowhouse development examples. In the left example, front-loaded townhouses with 12’ drive aisles are allowed where units are at least 30’ in width. The right example shows a shared driveway with individualprivate garages placed to the rear of units. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 275 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. For rowhouses where the primary pedestrian access to the dwelling is from an alley or private internal vehicular access, buildings must emphasize individual pedestrian entrances over individualprivate garages by using both of the following measures: 1a. Enhance entries with a trellis, small porch, or other architectural features that provides cover for a person entering the unit and a transitional space between outside and inside the dwelling. 2b. Provide a planted area in front of each pedestrian entry of at least 20 square feet in area, with no dimension less than four4 feet. Alternative designs will be considered, provided they meet the intent of the standards. Figure 38.360.240.C. Good and bad examples of garage/entry configurations. The left example features a landscaped area and a trellis to highlight the entry. In the middle image, the balconies and landscaped areas deemphasize the garage. In the right image, the lack of landscaping near the entries would not be allowed (where this is the primary pedestrian entry to the unit). D. Internal drive aisle standards: 1. Must meet minimum widths of any city adopted International Fire Code. 2. Minimum building separation along uncovered internal drive aisles must be 2524 feet. The purpose is to provide adequate vehicular turning radius, allow for landscaping elements on at least one side, and to provide adequate light and air on both sides of the dwelling units and drive aisles, which often function as usable open space for residents. 3. Upper level building projections over drive aisles are limited to three feet, and must comply with provisions in subsection D. (2) aboveof this section. E. Usable open space. Townhouse and rowhouse dwellings must provide open space at least equal to ten percent of the building living space, not counting automobile storage. The required open space may be provided biny a one or more of the following ways: 1. Usable private open space that is directly adjacent and accessible to dwelling units. Such space must have minimum dimensions of at least 12 feet on all sides and be configured to accommodate human activity such as outdoor eating, gardening, toddler play, etc. Front setbacks may be used to meet this standard, provided they are defined with a fence (meeting the standards of section 38.320.110). 2. Balconies, roof decks and/or front porches. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 276 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.360.240.E.2.a. Usable open space examples for townhouses/rowhouses. The lower left plan includes usable open space in the front yard. The middle play includes an upper level deck the full width of the unit. The upper right example uses a balcony that’s placed over the garage driveway. Figure 38.360.240.E.2.b. Usable open space examples for townhouses/rowhouses. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 277 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft FE. Building design. 1. Townhouse/rowhouse articulation. Townhouse and rowhouse buildings must comply with residential building articulation standards as set forth in section 38.530.040.C except that the articulation intervals must be no wider than the width of units in the building. Thus, – if individual units are 15 feet wide, the building must include at least three articulation features for all façades facing a street, common or other shared open space, and common parking areas at intervals no greater than 15 feet. 2. Repetition with variety. [see figures 38.360.240.F.1 and 2] Townhouse and rowhouse developments must employ one or more of the following “repetition with variety” guidelines: a. Reversing the elevation of two out of four dwellings. b. Providing different building elevations for external townhouse units (versus internal units) by changing the roofline, articulation, windows, and/or building modulation patterns. c. Adding a different dwelling design or different scale of the same design, such as adding a one- story version of the basic dwelling design where two-stories are typical (or a two-story design where three stories are typical). d. Other design treatments that add variety orf provide special visual interest. While the variable use of color on buildings can be effective in reducing the perceived scale of the building and adding visual interest, color changes alone are not sufficient to meet the intent of the standards.

All sites must maintain the least possible visual obtrusiveness. 6. Large scale wireless facilities. No large scale wireless facility will be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates that the proposed facility can not be accommodated on an existing structure or by placement of a smaller facility. In order to justify the construction of a large- scale wireless facility, the applicant must demonstrate that higher ranking alternatives in the hierarchy, beginning with section 38.370.040.B.2.a.(1), do not constitute feasible alternatives. Such demonstration must be made by submission of a statement of position, qualifications and experience by a licensed radio frequency engineer; and must address the required findings of this section. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 294 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft a. If collocation is feasible, the owner of the large scale wireless facility must certify in writing, prior to final permit approval, that the owner will accept for collocation any FCC-licensed or licensing exempt wireless communication provider using compatible technology at reasonable and customary rates and terms up to the structural capacity to accommodate additional antennas. Collocation may be denied based on verifiable and substantial expectations of interference from additional users. Later failure to comply with the requirements supporting collocation may result in the revocation of city approvals or other penalties provided stipulated by the municipal code as the requirements of the title will have been violated. b. The city must find the proposed guarantee, assurances or provisions for the perpetual maintenance and for removal of an abandoned large scale wireless facility to be adequate. c. A large scale wireless facility must not either: (1) Exceed 190 feet in height; or (2) When located east of the alignment of Church Avenue/Sourdough Road and west of the extended alignment of Bozeman Trail Road/Arnica Drive; (a) Exceed 100 feet in height when its base elevation is greater than 4,800; (b) Exceed 40 feet in height when its base elevation is above 4,850 elevation; (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections B.6.c.(2)(a) and (b) of this section, these restrictions must not apply for those areas lying east of the extended alignment of Bozeman Trail Road/Arnica Drive and south of Interstate 90. d. Where multiple service providers will be utilizing the same ground area and/or support structure, a single structure must be provided to house all ground based equipment. e. Special setbacks for large scale wireless facilities must be provided and/or a design for internal structural collapse to avoid damage or injury to adjoining property or users must be provided. (1) Residential district setbacks for a large scale wireless facility must be 100 percent of facility height, which may be reduced to no less than 50 percent upon the provision and approval of an engineered design, stamped by a professional structural engineer licensed to practice in the state, establishing a smaller collapse area. (2) A large scale wireless facility in nonresidential zones must provide a minimum setback from the property lines of 75 percent of facility height, which may be reduced to no less than 30 percent of facility height upon the provision and approval of an engineered design, stamped by a professional structural engineer licensed to practice in the state, establishing a smaller collapse area. Large scale wireless facilities located within nonresidential zones, but adjacent to a residential zone or residentially developed areas, must maintain a minimum setback from residential zoning or property boundaries of at least 50 percent of facility height. All installations must maintain the minimum zoning district setbacks, including special setbacks for applicable block frontage in division 38.510 of this chapterentryway corridors. f. New large scale wireless facilities greater than 50 feet in height must be designed in all respects to accommodate both the applicant's antennas and antennas for at least two other additional users. A new large scale wireless facility may meet this requirement by correctly sizing the foundation and other structural elements to allow the future addition of height to the structure to accommodate additional users rather than immediately constructing the entire large scale wireless facility. This requirement may be waived by the governing body BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 295 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft upon a showing of fact to overcome the presumption that multiple transmitters are desirable on the proposed facility. g. All large scale wireless facilities 50 feet or greater in height, regardless of the zoning district in which the structure is located, must be located at least one mile, measured in a straight line, from any other large scale wireless facility that is 50 feet or greater in height. An exception to this requirement may be granted by the approval body when it is found and factually supported in the written record that the criteria of subsection B.6.i of this section are met and a critical need exists for the proposed location, or that a closer placement is desirable to advance the intent of this chapter. h. A large scale wireless facility greater than 50 feet in height must only be approved when the applicant can demonstrate in writing that no existing or approved micro-scale, small scale or large scale wireless facility within the required separation distance of the proposed site can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna. i. In addition to the other review criteria of this chapter, affirmative findings for at least one of the following items must be made in order for the conditions necessary for approval to exist: (1) No existing or proposed structures located within the geographic area are adequate to support the proposed antennas , which are located within the geographic area are required to meet the applicant's engineering and service requirements; (2) Existing or approved structures are not of sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering and service requirements and a combination of smaller scale facilities will not provide for adequate service delivery; (3) Existing or approved structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment and can not be reinforced to provide sufficient structural strength; (4) The applicant's proposed antennas would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing or approved antenna support structures, or the antenna on the existing or approved antenna support structures would cause interference with the applicant's proposed antenna; (5) Property owners’ or owners of existing or approved wireless facilities or locations for smaller scale installations are unwilling to accommodate the applicant's needs; or (6) The applicant demonstrates that there are other factual and verifiable limiting factors that render existing or approved wireless facilities unsuitable. j. Height and number of users. A large scale wireless facility may be reviewed as a multiple phase project and be constructed over time as provided for in section 38.370.040.B. Prior to the approval of a final site plan, or a building permit if it be is a latter phase of a phased project, an applicant must provide: (1) For the first 70 feet of tower height, for an applicant who is not themselves a wireless service provider, a copy of an executed lease from a wireless service provider of not less than 12 months duration; (2) For a height of greater than 70 feet and not more than 110 feet of structure height, one additional executed lease; (3) For a height greater than 110 feet, a second additional executed lease; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 296 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (4) Leases may be redacted to remove proprietary information but must identify the parties. 7.

The structure must be of materials and architectural character which are compatible with the adjacent properties. The facility must comply with all applicable side, front and rear yardsetback setbacks. C. Administrative. 1. An inventory of existing sites utilized by the applicant must be provided. The inventory must note the feasibility of accommodating other users. The city may share this information with other applicants or interested parties to encourage collocation. 2. The public land and agencies exemption from full compliance with zoning in MCA 76-2-402 does not apply to private entities utilizing publicly owned lands. 3. Any antennas or antenna support structures that are not utilized for the provision of wireless services for a continuous period of six months must will be considered abandoned. All facilities must be removed within six months of the cessation of operations. If a facility is not removed within six months the city must may remove the facility at the facility or landowner's expense. Where multiple users share a facility, the non-operational antennas and associated ground- mounted equipment must may be removed, but any common equipment may be retained until all users have terminated the utilization of the site. 4. Any emergency power supply or other equipment installed at the facility must comply with section 38.320.130.H. 5. No facilities may be established in residential areas which require employees to be present on a routine basis may be established in residential areas,, with the exception of periodic maintenance activities, unless the zone allows offices as a permitted or conditional use and appropriate review has been completed. 6. Failure to comply with the terms of this chapter must beis grounds for facilities to be removed by action of the city at the facility or landowner's expense. 7. Any modifications to existing wireless sites may shall only occur in compliance with the review procedures required in section 38.370.030. 8.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 297 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.380 Affordable Housing Part 1: Findings & Purpose Sec. 38.380.010. - Legislative findings. The city commission hereby finds: A. The Bozeman Community Plan establishes a goal to encourage an adequate supply of affordable housing and land for affordable housing in Bozeman. A lack of affordable housing affects the ability of many residents to find housing which is adequate for their basic housing needs. A lack of adequate housing affects health, social stability, and other issues which can have negative and intergenerational effects. To fulfill this goal, the Community Plan establishes an objective to promote the development of a variety of housing types, designs, and costs to meet the wide range of needs of Bozeman residents. B. The Affordable Housing Action Plan: 2012 - 2016 (Action Plan) analyzed housing needs and existing market conditions and determined housing affordability has become an acute problem as demonstrated by the number of households paying over 30% of their incomes for housing. A 2015 update to the city’s housing needs analysis (Action Plan Update) concluded that the group of homebuyers with significant affordability gaps have incomes at or below 80% of the area medium income and are in need of subsidies and/or below-market home prices. The Action Plan Update also determined that buying opportunities are increasingly scarce for homebuyers with incomes between 60 percent and 100 percent of AMI, and that housing and land prices have increased faster than incomes for many of Bozeman’s residents. C. Since the adoption of the Bozeman Community Plan and the Action Plan, the median sales price of housing has continued to climb. According to the Action Plan Update, as of the end of November 2014, the median home price was $287,000. D. The Action Plan Update states that the number of detached homes priced below $250,000, a rough indicator of housing affordability for a family of three at 100 percent of AMI, has fallen from 48.4 percent of the market in 2012 to just 18.6 percent in 2014. E. There is a critical shortage of for-sale housing affordable to Bozeman households with incomes at and below the area median income, as currently calculated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. As a result, some residents pay excessive amounts of income for housing, reducing the amounts available for other necessities and a decent and adequate standard of living. F. Limited housing opportunities within the city requires households to seek housing outside of the city limits which has a negative impact on transportation infrastructure by adding unnecessary trips to the network. Increased driving distance to affordable housing also negatively impacts air and water quality. To maintain a sufficient resident workforce in all fields of employment, and to ensure the public safety and general welfare of the residents of the city of Bozeman, affordable housing needs must be addressed.. G. The city can achieve its goals of providing more affordable housing and its goal of achieving an economically balanced community only if part of the new housing built is affordable to households with low and moderate incomes. H. The inclusionary housing regulations codified in this ordinance will substantially advance the city’s legitimate interest in assuring that additional housing is built in the city that is affordable to residents, including low- and moderate-income households and dispersed throughout the city in order to encourage economic integration of the city’s residents. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 298 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft I. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the city’s self-governing powers and the city’s independent general police power to protect public health, safety, and welfare. Requiring affordable housing within certain developments is consistent with the community’s housing goals of protecting the public welfare by fostering an adequate supply of housing for persons at all economic levels and maintaining both economic diversity and geographically dispersed affordable housing. J. Requiring developers of newly created market-rate housing to provide some housing affordable to low and moderate-income households is reasonably related to the impacts of their projects because: 1. Rising land prices are a key factor in preventing development of new affordable housing. New market-rate housing construction in Bozeman has generally created strong and increasing demand for a finite stock of unbuilt land within the city, and thus continues to drive up the price of remaining land. New development without affordable units reduces the amount of land development opportunities available for the construction of affordable housing. 2. New residents of market-rate housing place demands on services provided by both public and private sectors, creating a demand for new employees. Some of these public and private sector employees needed to meet the needs of the new residents earn incomes only adequate to pay for affordable housing. Because affordable housing is in short supply in the city, such employees may be forced to live in less than adequate housing within the city, pay a disproportionate share of their incomes to live in adequate housing in the city, or commute ever increasing distances to their jobs from housing located outside the city. These circumstances harm the city's ability to attain employment and housing goals articulated in the Community Plan and place strains on the city's ability to accept and service new market-rate housing development. Sec. 38.380.020. - Purpose. The purpose of this article is to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring that the affordable housing needs of the residents of Bozeman are addressed. In addition, the purpose of this article is to ensure that quality housing is dispersed throughout Bozeman’s neighborhoods for households of a variety of income levels including low- and moderate-income residents to meet the goals of the Community Plan and the Action Plan by encouraging a mix of housing types throughout the city and integrating affordable housing so as to not concentrate affordable housing in a particular area. In addition, the ordinance is intended to alleviate the impacts that would result from the use of available residential land solely for the benefit of households that are able to afford market-rate housing and to mitigate the service burden imposed by households in new market-rate residential developments by making additional affordable housing available for service employees. The ordinance is also intended to mitigate environmental and other impacts that accompany new residential development by reducing traffic, transit and related air quality impacts, promoting jobs/housing balance and reducing the demands placed on transportation infrastructure. The ordinance provides residential developers with a menu of options from which to select alternatives to the construction of inclusionary units on the same site as market-rate residential developments, and provides incentives for housing developers to ensure houses are constructed and sold in a manner that furthers the city’s affordable housing goals. Finally, the ordinance provides incentives for housing developers who are not legally required to comply with the requirements for construction of inclusionary housing, but nevertheless choose to construct affordable housing. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 299 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Part 2: Applicability and Definitions Sec. 38.380.030. - Applicability. A. This article applies to: 1. Subdivisions and site plans which propose 10 or more market-rate homes, to be created through development, new construction, substantial improvement or reuse. 2. Annexations where the net developable area of the annexing parcel when considering the applicable zoning could result in 10 or more dwellings. In such a case, the annexation agreement shall require the provision of affordable housing pursuant to this article. 3. Developments seeking to use incentives to develop affordable housing. B. Contiguous tracts under common ownership and control. A developer may not avoid the requirements for construction of affordable homes by submitting piecemeal applications for development. At the time of the initial application for approval of a subdivision or site plan, the developer shall identify all contiguous property under common ownership and control in the affordable housing plan required by section 38.43380.100. C. Development applications approved prior to the effective date of this article. A site plan or subdivision having received sufficiency approval as of the effective date of this article or a preliminary site plan or preliminary plat granted approval prior to the effective date of this article may apply for one or more of the incentives described herein. Only that portion of the amended preliminary plat or site plan pertaining to the request for approval of one or more incentives will be subject to review. The requirements of section 38.19.130 for the amendment of plans will not apply. D. Newly proposed residential developments which include affordable housing in excess of this article’s requirements for building affordable homes are eligible for incentives as provided in section 38.4380.130. Such request shall require the preliminary plat or site plan to evidence compliance with all other requirements of this article. E. Exemptions. Developments comprised exclusively of rental housing units are exempt from this article. Sec. 38.380.040. - Definitions. A. Affordable housing or affordable home – A dwelling for purchase by an owner-occupant that requires no more than 33 percent of a household’s income for housing payments and meets the definition of a lower-priced home or moderate-priced home. For purposes of 38.380, “affordable housing” or “affordable home” does not include condominium units. B. Area median income or AMI – As calculated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), AMI is the median income for a family of four within a specific geographical area, such as Gallatin County. For each such region, HUD adjusts this AMI calculation for households of different sizes and updates the calculations annually based on estimated changes in area incomes. For purposes of this article, the city hereby adopts HUD’s AMI calculations as an equitable and reasonable method to determine affordability, based on percentages of AMI specified in this article. C. Common ownership or control – “Common ownership or control” refers to property owned or controlled by the same person, persons, or entity, or by separate entities in which any shareholder, partner, member, or family member of an investor of the entity owns ten percent (10%) or more of the interest in the property. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 300 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft D. Developer. For purposes of this article, a developer is the person or legal entity, or their successor(s) in interest who: (a) submits an affordable housing plan for a subject property along with other submissions required for land use approvals, zoning, or permit reviews by the city, and/or (b) is the owner of property subject to this article during the development phase or a successor in title, such as a builder, obligated to implement the affordable housing plan required by this article with respect to one or more lots or parcels of land and/or (c) receives incentives for the production of affordable housing. E. Liquid Assets – Assets such as cash, stocks, bonds or similar that can readily be converted to cash with no significant loss in value, but excluding long retirement assets such as IRA accounts, 401K accounts, pension funds, etc. Explicitly excluding retirement F.

Market-rate home – Any dwelling for purchase subject to this article which is not an affordable home. The number of market-rate homes in a development is used to determine the required number of affordable homes, as described in this article. For the purposes of 38.380, “market rate home” does not include condominium units. F. Moderate-priced home. – Newly created dwelling for purchase, affordable to a household with an income between 81% and 100% of AMI. Part 3: Requirements Sec. 38.380.050. - Requirement to build and sell affordable homes. All development subject to this article must include affordable homes. Sec. 38.380.060. - Number of affordable homes required. The number of affordable homes a developer is required to build is a percentage of the total market- rate homes proposed in the development plan. A. The developer may: 1. Build and sell lower-priced homes. 10 percent of the total dwellings constructed within the subdivision or site plan must be lower-priced homes built and sold at price targets as established by the city pursuant to section 38.4380.070 to households with incomes at or below 80 percent of AMI; or 2. Build and sell moderate-priced homes. 30 percent of the total dwellings proposed must be moderate-priced homes sold at price targets as established by the city pursuant to section 38.4380.070 to households with incomes from 81 percent to 100 percent of AMI; or 3. Build and sell a mix of both types of affordable homes. If a developer proposes a mix of both lower-priced and moderate-priced homes, the developer starts with the 10 percent calculation for lower-priced homes. For each lower-priced home eliminated from the resulting number, the developer may substitute three moderate-priced homes. The distribution of homes between the two categories of affordable homes will be identified in the affordable housing plan required by section 38.4380.100. B. Fractions. If the calculation of the required number of affordable homes results in a fraction of a home, this obligation will be satisfied by payment of a fee-in-lieu pursuant to section 38.4380.140 or by providing an additional moderate-priced home. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 301 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. Calculating number of affordable homes in phased developments. It is anticipated that in developments being built in phases, the number of market-rate homes may not be certain at the time the developer submits the affordable housing plan pursuant to section 38.4380.100. In such cases, the developer must estimate the number of market-rate homes and number of affordable homes required for all phases. If the number of homes in the first phase of such development is certain at the time of the city’s approval of the affordable housing plan, a separate affordable homes pricing and delivery schedule for that phase shall be incorporated in the affordable housing plan at the time of development or construction of each subsequent phase. As the number of homes in future phases becomes certain, the affordable housing plan shall provide for subsequent affordable homes pricing and delivery schedules for future phases of the development, consistent with the affordable housing plan and section 38.4380.070.B. Sec. 38.380.070. - Pricing of affordable homes. A. The city will calculate on an annual basis the maximum sales price a developer may charge for each category of affordable home required by this article as follows: 1. Lower-priced homes. The sales price for lower-priced homes affordable to buyer-households with incomes from 65 percent to 80 percent of AMI will be calculated based on a household income of 70 percent of AMI. 2. Moderate-priced homes. The sales price for moderate-priced homes affordable to buyer- households with incomes from 81 percent to 100 percent of AMI will be calculated based on a household income of 90 percent of AMI. B. Affordable home sales price schedule. 1. The city will annually publish a schedule of sales prices for low-priced homes and moderate- priced homes within 30 calendar days of the HUD’s annual publication of updated AMI calculations. The sales price schedule will be effective on the date of publication by the city. The new sales price schedule will apply to applications for building permits received after the effective date of the new sales price schedule. A developer may request that a new sales price schedule apply to the sale of an affordable home approved under a previous sales price schedule. 2. The city, at the city’s sole discretion, may recalculate the sales price schedule if prevailing mortgage interest rates have adjusted by 50 basis points or more over the assumption used for the previous schedule. 3. Considerations. The following factors will be considered by the city in calculating the sales price schedule. The Director of Community DevelopmentDirector of community development may make de minimis exceptions to application of these factors: a. AMI for the Bozeman area; b. Gross monthly income will be calculated as the appropriate HUD AMI calculations income divided by 12; c. The maximum monthly payment will be 33% of gross monthly income. The maximum monthly payment will include costs directly applicable to a mortgage such as payment of principal, interest, as well as assumptions for typical costs of taxes, public assessments, property insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums (assuming the higher of either government or private mortgage insurance), and homeowner association fees; d. The interest rate will be determined by the city by a survey of at least three local mortgage lenders, averaging their current rates for loans for homes with price ranges within the low- priced homes range and the moderate-priced homes range; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 302 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft e. The financing will be a conventional or government-insured fixed-rate loan with a term of 15 to 30 years; and f. A borrower will typically contribute $1,000 toward the purchase price. C. Household occupancy assumptions. To determine the maximum sales prices of affordable homes with different numbers of bedrooms, the city will base its calculation on the AMIs for households of different sizes, as follows: 1. Zero bedroom or studio unit – AMI for a one-person household; 2. One bedroom unit – AMI for a two-person household; 3. Two bedroom unit – AMI for a two-person household; and 4. Three bedroom unit or larger – AMI for a four-person household. Sec. 38.380.080. - Timing of delivery of affordable homes. Required affordable homes must be provided in accordance with the following: A. In each development in which more than one affordable home is required to be sold, the affordable housing plan shall specify that affordable homes are to be sold concurrently and in proportion to the sale of unimproved lots or market-rate homes. Such timing of compliance will be represented in an affordable homes pricing and delivery schedule as described in section 38.4380.100. B. A developer may build and sell affordable homes earlier than required in an affordable housing plan. Sec. 38.380.090. - Minimum design and construction standards for affordable homes. A. Required number of bedrooms in affordable homes. In each development subject to the requirements of this article, affordable homes shall represent a mix of bedrooms per unit as similar as possible (given rounding of numbers) to the mix of bedrooms per unit of the market-rate homes in the development. B. Standards for design and construction. The city shall define reasonable standards for the design and construction of affordable homes to ensure livability and compatibility with nearby market-rate homes in the development. Affordable homes may have different interior finishes and features than other dwellings within the development, as long as the finishes and features are functionally equivalent and of good quality. Finishes include, but are not limited to, design and materials, the provision of appliances, cabinets, and floor treatment. Features include, but are not limited to, the numbers of bathrooms, garages and parking areas, mechanical equipment and hookups, and green building features. C. Amenities. Affordable homes shall have the same amenities as the market-rate homes in the development, including the same access to and enjoyment of common open space and facilities in the development. Sec. 38.380.100. - Submission of affordable housing plan; approval. A. Affordable housing plan. The applicant for any development seeking to utilize the incentives to create affordable housing or subject to the requirements of this article must submit an affordable housing plan in a form provided by or approved by the city that describes how the requirements of this article will be satisfied. When approved by the city, the affordable housing plan must be incorporated by reference in the recorded subdivision plat, site plan or annexation agreement. The applicant will provide only one affordable housing plan to meet the requirements of this article. B. Affordable housing plan as binding agreement. An affordable housing plan approved by the city will be considered a binding contract between the developer and the developer’s successors in interest BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 303 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft to the lot or dwelling. Such plan will be included in a separate recorded written agreement between the developer and the city, or incorporated into another recorded document wherein the developer is required to implement the affordable housing plan. C. Contents of affordable housing plan. The affordable housing plan submitted by the developer must include, at a minimum: 1. Number of affordable homes proposed in each affordable home category; 2. The number of bedrooms in each affordable home; 3. Number of market-rate homes in the development; 4. The number of bedrooms in each market-rate home; 5. Location of affordable homes in the development (lots in the plat or units within a site plan); 6. Timing of delivery of the affordable homes in relation to the market-rate homes in the development; 7. Marketing plan describing how affordable homes will be offered to the public; 8. Plan for construction of affordable homes in phased developments. It is anticipated that in developments being built in phases, the number of market-rate homes may not be certain at the time the developer submits the affordable housing plan. In such cases, the developer must estimate the number of market-rate homes and number of affordable homes for each phase. If the number of homes in the first phase of such development is certain at the time of the city’s approval of the affordable housing plan, a separate affordable homes pricing and delivery schedule for that phase shall be incorporated in the affordable housing plan at the time of development or construction of each subsequent phase. As the number of homes in future phases becomes certain, the affordable housing plan shall provide for subsequent affordable homes pricing and delivery schedules for future phases of the development, consistent with the affordable housing plan; and 9. Any other information that is reasonably necessary to evaluate the compliance of the affordable housing plan with the requirements of this article. D. Pricing and delivery schedules in affordable housing plans. The affordable homes pricing and delivery schedule shall be in the form of a chart that contains the numbers of required affordable homes by bedroom count and affordable home category, and shall indicate the current affordable home prices as calculated by the city. E. Approval of affordable housing plan. The affordable housing plan will be reviewed as part of the initial application approval process for the type of development proposed. A condition shall be attached to the approval of any subdivision plat or site plan to require recordation of the affordable housing plan or other separate agreement obligating the developer to meet the requirements of this article. Sec. 38.380.110. - Marketing, sales and occupancy of affordable homes. Developers subject to this article shall market and sell affordable homes in accordance with provisions described in the city’s published instructions for preparing affordable housing plans. These provisions will address factors such as waiting list management, marketing materials, responsibilities for marketing affordable homes, actions to be taken in the event of inability to identify qualified buyers, procedures for certification of buyer eligibility, purchase contracts, and full disclosures to buyers of their obligations and rights under this article. If after 120 calendar days of marketing efforts on the part of the developer of an affordable home in compliance with the city’s published instructions the developer has not executed a purchase contract with a qualified buyer, the developer may enter into a purchase contract with a BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 304 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft buyer at a sales price that shall not be subject to the maximum sales prices established pursuant to 38.43380.070. In such a case, upon closing of the sale the developer must pay the city the difference between the sales price and the price of the affordable home as set out in the approved affordable housing plan in accordance with 38.4380.180.B. Sec. 38.380.120. - Recording requirements upon sale of affordable home. The developer, or the city or its agent if the city is involved in the sale of an affordable home shall cause to be recorded in the offices of the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder, simultaneously with the recording of the deed of conveyance, a restrictive covenant, deed of trust or other legal instrument, approved as to form by the Bozeman City Attorney that fulfills the resale and recapture requirements described in section 38.4380.160. Part 4: Incentives Sec. 38.380.130. - Incentives available for affordable housing. Developers may apply for incentives in conjunction with a development application by submitting an affordable housing plan pursuant to section 38.4380.100. Incentives Description Lower- priced homes Moderate- priced homes 70% AMI 80% AMI 90% AMI Impact fee subsidy Full or partial subsidization of impact fees, paid from municipal funds if such funds are available; such subsidization must be secured with a lien instrument due upon sale, transfer or non-rate/term refinance of the home. X X Down payment assistance Subject to the availability of funds, the city will provide on a first-come first- served basis, down payment assistance not to exceed $10,000 per home benefiting households. Down-payment assistance will only be provided directly to the qualifying homebuyer. This assistance shall be secured with a lien instrument due upon sale, transfer or non-rate/term refinance of the home. X X Waiver of subdivision pre-application Waive pre-application for subdivision when 10% of units are designated for lower price homes. X X Reduction of parkland1 Allow a 1:1 square foot reduction in the amount of parkland dedication required per square foot of lot size for lower homes. If a developer provides more than the required number of lower priced homes, the lot area square footage of the additional lower priced homes shall not further reduce the required parkland dedication. X Reduced minimum lot sizes Per the provisions in this chapter, affordable homes may utilize reduced BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 305 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft security acceptable to the City Attorney ensuring the completion of infrastructure. Expedited review for affordable housing 1+1 Detached homes and attached homes in groups of less than 6 units will receive expedited (3 business day) building permit review for affordable housing. For each building permit for an affordable home, a market rate unit will receive the same expedited review. X X X Reduced parking requirements Reduced parking requirement of two spaces per three-bedroom dwelling. X X 1 This incentive is available only until the city has approved affordable housing plan(s) that include the number of lower- priced homes at 70% AMI as established by commission resolution. In addition, a developer seeking to use this incentive may only do so if the affordable homes at 70% AMI constitute no more than 10% of the total units in a development or the unit is to be constructed on a single lot wherein the parkland dedication requirement has not previously been provided. Part 5: Alternative Means of Compliance Sec. 38.380.140. - Alternative means of compliance; payments of fees-in-lieu. A. Alternatives to building lower-priced homes. The city may authorize a developer otherwise required to provide affordable homes within a development to provide an alternative means of compliance of equal value to the affordable homes otherwise required to be constructed pursuant to this article. B. Allowable alternative means of compliance. If approved by the city, a developer may satisfy the affordable housing requirements of this article by providing (i) a cash or in-kind payment in lieu or (ii) a donation of land. 1. Payment of cash in lieu. Payment shall be made to the city of a payment of cash-in-lieu per a fee schedule adopted annually by the city commission. For each required affordable home not built, the cash-in-lieu amount will be the difference between the sales price of a lower-priced home according to the then-current schedule of affordable home prices and the sales price of a market-rate home. The sale price for the market-rate home will be based on a median sale price of dwellings of a similar type, location and square footage for the prior two years. Cash-in-lieu payments shall be paid prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any dwelling or building in the development subject to this article. 2. Donation of land. Credits for donation of house lots or multi-family parcels. The city may accept donations to a city-designated community housing nonprofit entity of: (a) ready-to-build house lots; or (b) parcels of land suitable for construction of affordable multifamily housing. Restrictions on the donated lots or parcels will run with the land. Such donations, if approved, will provide credits against this article’s requirements for building lower-priced homes. The credits will be determined as follows: a. House lots. The value of the lot or lots, as determined by a professional appraisal paid for by the developer, will be divided by the city’s then-current average of cash-in-lieu payments for homes of different sizes. The product of that division to two decimal points will constitute the credit against the otherwise required number of lower-priced homes. b. Parcels of land. The city shall periodically adopt a valuation for donation of parcels of land intended for multifamily development, for purposes of determining credits against the number of affordable homes that would otherwise be required in a development subject to this article. The parcel of land must be zoned for the development of multi-family housing, such as R-3, R-4 and REMU. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 306 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. Timing of delivery of alternative means of compliance. 1. Timing of providing in-lieu contributions. In-lieu contributions when permitted shall be due and deliverable to the city before the recordation of the affordable housing plan. A developer may propose an alternative to this requirement in which staged contributions are made upon the predicted occurrence of certain events, such as the sale of lots, which alternative may be approved at the sole discretion of the city. 2. Staged delivery of in-lieu contributions. In the case of staged delivery of in-lieu contributions, when permitted, the city’s determination of the value of each contribution shall take into account the differential financial value of payments that are made later than recordation of the affordable housing plan using conventional methods of discounting future cash flows to present value. Part 6: Buyer Qualification and Subsidy Recapture Sec. 38.380.150. - Qualification of buyers of affordable homes. A. Lower-priced homes. To qualify for purchase of a lower-priced home, a buyer must meet the following criteria: 1. A household income in the 65%-80% AMI range, as verified and certified by the city; such certification must have been provided no more than one year prior to the closing date of the purchase. Income verification will be performed using HUD’s online income certification tool or a similar method that meets Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 24 part 5, as amended, which adjusts gross incomes based on extraordinary expenses and imputation of assets to income. 2. Maximum liquid assets of $25,000 at the time of income certification. Exceptions may be granted by the Director of community development based on extraordinary circumstances. 3. The household occupying the lower-priced home must meet the definition of “Household” in 38.42.1420. 4. The buyer must meet one of the following definitions of “First-Time Homebuyer”: a. An individual who has had no ownership interest in a principal residence during the 3-year period ending with the date of purchase; or b. A single parent whose only prior home was owned with a former spouse while married; or c. An individual who is a displaced homemaker and has only owned with a spouse; or d. An individual who has only owned a principal residence not permanently affixed to a permanent foundation in accordance with applicable regulations; or e. An individual who has only owned a property that was not in compliance with state, local or model building codes and which cannot be brought into compliance for less than the cost of construction a permanent structure. 5. The buyer must contribute at least $1,000 towards the purchase of the home unless waived in writing by the city because of extraordinary circumstances, such as death of primary or secondary income earner or qualification as displaced homemaker. 6. The buyer must utilize conventional or government-insured fixed-rate first-mortgage financing with a term of 15 to 30 years. 7. The household in a lower-priced home must occupy the home as its primary residence. Lower- priced homes may not be rented to another party, since the intent of the program is to provide these homes only for income-qualified owner occupants, with the exception of rentals for a BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 307 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft limited period of time necessitated by a family hardship or a temporary move for one year or less, if approved in advance by the city. B. Moderate-priced homes. To purchase a moderate-priced home, a buyer must occupy the home as a primary residence. The developer must provide evidence satisfactory to the city verifying the initial owner will use the home as their primary residence at time of sale. Sec. 38.380.160. - Subsidy recapture for lower-priced homes. To ensure that the community investment in affordable housing is perpetuated and that beneficiaries of affordable housing programs do not receive a windfall financial benefit, the city requires repayment of subsidies as follows: A. Requirement for repayment of cash subsidy. The buyer of a lower-priced home that received cash support in the form of funds from the Affordable Housing Fund or other funding through the city, including but not limited to down payment assistance, impact fee payment, or other funding shall be required to repay the subsidy, at 0 percent interest, when the dwelling or property is sold, transferred, refinanced with equity converted to cash out or when the initial buyer who qualified for the subsidy has failed to abide by the requirements of this article. The subsidy will be recorded as a lien against the property at the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorders office. B. Requirement for repayment of non-cash subsidy. Because most or all lower-priced homes will be sold at a discount from market value, defined as the difference between the appraised value and the maximum allowed price of a lower-priced home at the time of the initial sale to a qualified buyer, the city commission finds that it gives a subsidy with cash value to the initial buyer which may be recaptured under certain circumstances. Therefore, upon resale or transfer of a lower-priced home, the city aims to further its housing affordability goals by recapturing the principal amount of the subsidy by use of a lien in favor of the city in that amount, which will be due and payable to the city, at 0 percent interest, when the home is sold or transferred or when the initial buyer who qualified for the affordable home has failed to abide by the terms of this article. The appraisal used to calculate the amount of subsidy may be the appraisal obtained by the buyer’s mortgage lender or, if that is not available, a professional appraisal provided by the purchaser. C. Use of repayments to the city. The city shall only use repayments of the lien amounts to fund: 1. Down payment assistance for buyers of new or existing homes in Bozeman with household incomes at or below 80 percent of AMI; 2. Affordable rental opportunities for residents of Bozeman with incomes at or below 60 percent of AMI; or 3. Any other use approved by the city commission that increases affordable homeownership opportunities for residents of Bozeman with income at or below 80 percent of AMI. Part 7: Administration & Enforcement Sec. 38.380.170. - Administration. A. Director of community development authority. The director of community development or an agent designated by the city commission shall have authority to promulgate and enforce all reasonable rules and regulations and take all actions necessary to the effective operation and enforcement of this article, unless such authority is expressly reserved to the city commission or another city official, including but not limited to: 1. Reviewing a developers’ affordable housing plan for compliance with this article; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 308 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. Adopting all forms and prescribing the information to be given therein; 3. Monitoring developers’ compliance with this article, notifying the developer of noncompliance, and ordering compliance; 4. Imposing any and all sanctions permitted by this article; and 5. Calculating the annual pricing targets for affordable homes and causing a sales price schedule to be published. The Director of community development may make de minimis exceptions to the factors considered in calculating the price targets. B. Administrative manual. The city will publish administrative rules and instructions approved by the city commission, including but not limited to instructions for completing the affordable housing plan, valuations required by this article, and the distribution of the required number of affordable homes between the two affordable home categories and required number of bedrooms. Such distribution by affordable home category shall be based primarily upon an assessment by the city of housing needs among the income groups corresponding to each affordable home category, but shall take into account the economic impact on developments subject to the requirements of this article. C. Verification of sales prices and income certification prior to closing. The City Manager may create standards for documentation the city will use to verify the sale price of a home created pursuant to this article. For the initial sale of an affordable home, the seller must provide the city with a copy of the HUD-1 form prepared by an attorney or title company indicating the sales price. The final sales price on the HUD-1 form may not exceed the maximum price for a specific affordable home as described in the current price schedule pursuant to section 38.380.070 plus an allowed maximum of $3,000 in buyer selected upgrades, if allowed by the first mortgage lender underwriters. In addition, the city shall require certification satisfactory to the city of homebuyer income qualification. D. Monitoring completed sales. Upon receipt of a settlement statement for an affordable home, the city will determine if the completed affordable home sale complies with the approved affordable housing plan and the requirements of this article, and if not, respond to the non-compliance as provided in section 38.380.180. Sec. 38.380.180. - Noncompliance; sanctions. A. Discovery of noncompliance. If the city determines a developer subject to an affordable housing plan has failed to comply with any terms or conditions of the affordable housing plan or this article, the Director of community development or authorized agent shall notify the developer of the noncompliance in writing and order compliance by the most reasonable and expeditious means as determined by the city. Notification shall describe a date certain by which the developer must be in full compliance (which may not be less than one week or more than one year from the date of the notice), and shall describe: (i) the exact nature of the noncompliance; and (ii) the possible sanctions for noncompliance with this notification. B. Cancellation of incentives provided. If a developer sells a home for a price not in compliance with the approved affordable housing plan or any other recorded documentation obligating developer to comply with this article, the developer must, prior to the release by the city of the dwelling from the affordable housing plan or binding agreement, pay the city the difference between the sale price and the price of the affordable home as set out in the approved affordable housing plan. C. Sanctions for noncompliance. In addition to other remedies available to the city pursuant to this article, if on a date certain by which compliance has been ordered by the Director of community development or authorized agent, the developer remains in noncompliance, the Director of community development or authorized agent shall notify the City Attorney of the noncompliance and request that sanctions be imposed. The city shall have the authority to impose one or more BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 309 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft sanctions including but not limited to the following which the city deems most effective and appropriate considering the nature of the noncompliance: 1. Withholding or revoking building permits, 2. Issuing stop-work orders, and/or 3. Withholding certificates of occupancy. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 310 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft ARTICLE 4. COMMUNITY DESIGN Contents Division 38.400 Transportation Facilities & Access Division 38.410 Community Design & Elements Division 38.420 Park & Recreation Requirements Division 38.430 Planned Unit Developments 38.400 Transportation Facilities & Access (Article 24) Sec. 38.400.010. - Streets, general.

The arrangement, type, extent, width, grade and location of all streets must be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. The design standards contained in these regulations must apply to all construction, reconstruction and paving of streets. Review authority for exceptions or modifications to this section is specified in division 38.220. 1. Relation to undeveloped areas. When a proposed development adjoins undeveloped land, and access to the undeveloped land would reasonably pass through the new development, streets and alleys within the proposed development must be arranged to allow the suitable development of the adjoining undeveloped land. Streets and alleys within the proposed development must be constructed to the boundary lines of the tract to be developed, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions. If the development being reviewed is a subdivision, a request for an alteration of this standard must be processed as a subdivision variance. If the development being reviewed is not a subdivision, a request for an alteration of this standard must be reviewed against the criteria of section 38.250.0870.B, but does will not alter the review authority who would otherwise decide upon the application. 2. Relation to developed areas. The developer must arrange the streets and alleys to provide for the continuation of streets and alleys between adjacent developed properties when such continuation is necessary for the convenient movement of traffic, effective provision of emergency services and efficient provision of utilities. 3. Separation of through and local traffic. Where a development abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial or collector street, the developer may be required to provide frontage roads, reverse frontage with a reservation prohibiting access along the rear property line, screen planting, or such other treatment as may be necessary for protection of residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic. 4. Distance between parallel rights-of-way. Where a development borders on or contains a railroad, limited access highway, canal, ditch or stream right-of-way, the developer may be required to provide a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance suitable to allow for the appropriate use of the intervening land. Such distances must also be determined with due regard formust also comply with the requirements of approach grades and future grade separation.

Dead-end streets must comply with city design specifications and standards, and with any city-adopted International Fire Code. No dead-end streets longer than 150 feet must shall beare permitted without an approved turn- around. Where streets terminate, the developer must provide a cul-de-sac at the terminus. Where it is planned that a dead-end street will be extended in the future, a temporary cul-de-sac must be provided. All approved turnarounds must be signed as no parking. a. "T" turnarounds, in-lieu of a temporary culs-de-sac, must be specifically approved by the review authority. "T" turnarounds must include two straight backup lengths of 45 feet each to accommodate city fire trucks. All other design requirements must beare established by the review authority. 6. Local streets. Local streets must be laid out to discourage speeding. 7. Half streets. Half streets are prohibited except when they are essential to the development, are beneficial to the city, or when the review authority is satisfied that the half of the street will be dedicated to the public when after the adjoining property is developed. Half streets must be approved by the review authority, and when adjacent to unannexed land, the county road office. When an existing half street is adjacent to a tract to be developed, the undeveloped half of the street must be provided with the new development. 8. Second or emergency access. To facilitate traffic movement, the provision of emergency services and the placement of utility easements, all developments must be provided with a second means of access. If, in the judgment of the development review committee (DRC), a second dedicated right-of-way cannot be provided for reasons of topography or other physical conditions, the developer must provide an emergency access, built to the standards detailed in these regulations. a. This provision may be waived or conditionally waived by the DRC. 9. Culs-de-sac. Culs-de-sac are generally prohibited. The review authority may consider and approve the installation of a cul-de-sac only when necessary due to topography, the presence of critical lands, access control, adjacency to parks or open space, or similar site constraints. Pedestrian walks must be installed at the end of culs-de-sac where deemed appropriate. 10. Bridges and culverts. Culverts or bridges must be provided and installed by the developer where drainage channels intersect any street right-of-way. a. Bridges. Bridges must be built to state department of transportation H-20 load standards, and must be reviewed and approved by the county road office and the city engineering department. b. Culverts. All culverts must, at a minimum, extend across the entire improved width of the street cross section.

All arterial and collector streets and intersections with arterial and collector streets must operate at a minimum level of service "C" unless specifically exempted by this section. The city determines lLevel of service (LOS) values must be determined by using the methods defined by the most recent edition of the Highway Capacity Manual. A The review BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 315 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft authority may approve a development must be approved only if the LOS requirements are met in the design year, which must be a minimum of 15 years following the development application review or construction of mitigation measures if mitigation measures are required to maintain LOS. Intersections must have a minimum acceptable LOS of "C" for the intersection as a whole. a. Exception: If an intersection within the area required to be studied by section 38.220.060.A.12 does not meet LOS "C" and the intersection has been fully constructed to its maximum lane and turning movement capacity, then an LOS of less than "C" is acceptable. b. Exception: The review authority may grant a waiver from an LOS of less than "C" at a specific intersection if the review authority determines: (1) Ggranting of a waiver from the level of service for the intersection would not be contrary to public health and safety and is in the public interest; (2) Iimprovements to the intersection to raise the overall level of service to a “C” or better are currently scheduled for commencement of construction within three (3) years as shown on the most recently adopted Transportation Capital Improvement Plan; (3) Aall rights- of- way necessary for the required intersection improvements have been obtained by the city or by the Montana Department of Transportation; and (4) Tthe commission has approved a financing plan for the intersection improvements. A waiver granted under this subsection is valid for the initial entitlement period of the project and applies only to the real property for which the waiver is granted. A request for the extension of the initial development approval relying upon an intersection level of service waiver is a material modification to the application per 38.100.070. c. If the review authority does not grant a waiver from the level of service standard under 38.400.060.this subsection B.4, a subdivider or other site developer may request a variance from the requirements of this section. If a variance is granted from the requirements of this section, the variance applies only to the specific development proposal for which it was granted and must not be considered evidence for any other development proposal.

A minimum 50-foot setback must be provided along both sides of all other watercourses. (4) All required watercourse setbacks must be extended as necessary to address these additional requirements. (a) The setback must extend to the edge of any delineated 100-year floodplain if the floodplain is larger than the setbacks established in this subsection 2.c; (b) The setback must include immediately adjacent wetlands (i.e., fringe). The buffer width must be extended by the width of the wetland; (c) Areas with a slope greater than 33 percent do not count towards the width of the setback; and (d) The setback must include connected wetlands. The buffer width must be extended by a minimum of 50 feet beyond the perimeter of the connected wetlands. (5) All watercourse setbacks must be measured from the ordinary high water mark as defined in section 38.700.090. When no ordinary high water mark is discernible, setbacks must be measured from the top of the stream bank. d. No newly constructed residential or commercial structure, addition to an existing structure, fence, deck, fill material (other than that required for exempt uses), parking lot or other impervious surfaces, or other similar improvements must shallmay be located within required watercourse setbacks, unless approved through, and in conformance with, a variance or deviation process as authorized in this chapter. e. Exceptions. The watercourse setback is divided into two zones. Zone 1 consists of the 60 percent of the setback closest to the watercourse, and Zone 2 consists of the 40 percent of the setback furthest from the watercourse. (1) On-site stormwater treatment facilities may be located in Zone 2. (2) Trails and trail-related improvements may be placed within the required watercourse setback subject to the following provisions: (a) Trails, and trail-related improvements such as benches and trail signage, may be placed in Zone 2; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 339 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (b) Limited, non-looping developed spur trails to the water's edge may cross all zones. Benches and limited informational/interpretive signage may be placed in Zone 1 at the terminus of spur trails; (c) Due to topography, avoidance of wetlands, or other geographical constraints, portions of non-spur trails may need to be placed within Zone 1. Trail construction within Zone 1, inclusive of watercourse crossings and spur trails, per each side of the watercourse, may not exceed the length of 300 percent of the width of the applicable watercourse setback per 500 lineal feet of watercourse; (d) All trails must be constructed to minimize bank instability, sedimentation, nutrient and pollution runoff. Trails must be aligned to minimize damage to plant and wildlife habitat; and (e) Trails crossing the watercourse and trail-related bridge structures may be located within all zones provided that the appropriate local, state and federal permits are obtained. (3) Streets, sidewalks, utility lines or similar public construction may be permitted within all zones for the purpose of crossing a watercourse or protecting public health and safety. The following practices must be observed: (a) Crossings must be minimized to the greatest extent feasible; (b) Crossings with direct angles (90 degrees) must be used to the greatest extent feasible instead of oblique crossing angles; (c) Construction must be capable of withstanding 100-year flood events; (d) The subdivision grading and drainage plan must be designed to prevent the discharge of untreated stormwater into a watercourse; and (e) A bank stabilization plan for all public construction watercourse crossings must be prepared and approved by the city prior to site preparation and installation of the improvement. (4) Outlets from stormwater treatment facilities may pass through all zones in order to discharge to the receiving watercourse, provided that all required permits are obtained. (5) Control of noxious weeds is required and activities required within limits outlined in any approved noxious weed control plan may occur in all zones. f. Setback planting. A setback planting plan must be prepared by a qualified landscape professional, and must be reviewed and approved by the community development department prior to the commencement of development or site preparation. The plan must include a schedule, and plantings must be depicted on the plan as follows: (1) Zone 1: Zone 1 must be planted with new or existing native materials suited for a riparian area based on the following calculations. One hundred percent of the disturbed areas of Zone 1 must be planted with a ground cover of native riparian sedges, forbs and grasses suited for the area. In addition, a minimum of one shrub for every ten linear feet and one tree for every 30 linear feet of the watercourse must beis required along each side of the watercourse. Grouping or clumping of trees and shrubs as appropriate in a riparian area is encouraged. Species that are appropriate to the soil hydrologic conditions (wetness of soil and depth to the water table) should must be used. Tree and shrub species selected must be suitable for the climate and for planting in a riparian area with an emphasis on native species. The Natural Resources Conservation Service BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 340 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (NRCS), the state native plant society and the county local water quality district (LWQD) are good sources of landscaping materials and/or landscaping information. (2) Zone 2: Disturbed areas of Zone 2 must be planted with new or existing native grasses suited for the area. (3) Maintenance of the watercourse setback landscaping is required. If it can be demonstrated that irrigation is present for the trees and shrubs, and fencing is provided for the trees and shrubs, the number of required trees may be reduced to one tree for every 60 linear feet and one shrub for every 20 linear feet of the watercourse along each side of the watercourse. (4) Planting materials are exempt from the size requirements of section 38.550.050.G.3. (5) To prevent soil erosion and the invasion of noxious weeds, the watercourse setbacks on all land proposed for development must be covered with existing vegetation or must be seeded with native grasses as soon as seasonally feasible or prior to commencement of any site development or site preparation work. (6) Native must mean those plants which are native to the Gallatin Valley. (7) Use native grasses, forbs, sedges and other herbaceous plants in areas of disturbance (e.g., bridges, culverts, utilities installation, trails) within the watercourse setback. Native woody plantings are required in all zones in both disturbed and undisturbed areas. g. Except for as otherwise allowed in subsections 2.e and f of this section, no disturbance of soils and existing vegetation must shall occur in all any zones. 3. Other provisions. a. The watercourse setback must be depicted on all preliminary and final plats and plans. b. These provisions do not apply to agricultural uses, including lands controlled in the conservation reserve program (CRP), and activities, and structures that existed prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived. Any agricultural uses, activities or structures established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived must comply with these regulations. An agricultural use, activity or structure must beis considered abandoned if not used for agricultural purposes for more than 180 consecutive days. Figure 38.410.100-1 100 year floodplain.

For the purpose of having structures blend more naturally into the landscape rather than being a prominent focal point, ridgeline protection areas are established. These areas are defined in article 42division 38.700 of this chapter and are identified and designated based on topographic characteristics. The Bozeman Ridgeline Map identifies areas with a high likelihood of meeting the standards for ridgelines. 1. All buildings located within a ridgeline protection area must be set back from the ridgeline a distance not less than three times its height above grade. The distance of the setback must be measured perpendicular from the ridgeline. a. Exception. In the event a building permit is sought for a lot approved or created prior to January 1, 2004, the proposed development must comply with this section to the extent reasonably feasible given the lot dimensions, orientation, and other characteristics. The final approval body for the proposed development must determine the extent that is reasonably feasible and may relax the special setback required by this section, subject to applicable appeal provisions. Such administrative relief must not reduce setbacks below those required elsewhere in this chapter. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 343 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.410.110 Ridgeline protection area Sec. 38.410.120. - Mail delivery. (38.23.120) If mail delivery will not be to each individual lot within the development, the developer must provide an off-street area for mail delivery within the development in cooperation with the United States Postal Service. It must not be the responsibility of tThe city to will not be responsible for maintaining or plowing any mail delivery area constructed within a city right-of-way. Sec. 38.410.130. - Water rights. (38.23.180) A. Prior to a final approval of all development reviewed as a site plan, conditional use permit, planned unit development, or subdivision and prior to an annexation of any land, one of the following must occur: 1. Payment must be made to the city of a payment-in-lieu of water rights, calculated based on the annual demand for volume of water the development will require multiplied by the most current annual unit price; or 2. The city may elect to accept a transfer to the city of ownership of water rights if the water rights proposed to be transferred are legally and physically adequate as determined by the city to provide the annual volume of water the development will require. A transfer of ownership of water rights must be in a form and manner suitable for municipal purposes and as approved by the review authority. 3. In addition to but notwithstanding the above, a development may propose the installation of non-potable water systems for irrigation or other approved uses. The installation of a non- potable water system may result in a reduction in the payment required under subsection A.1 or amount of water rights under subsection A.2. To receive credit against the water demand BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 344 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft calculation, the development must meet all physical requirements for such systems as established by the city and must comply with all applicable administrative requirements. B. If adequate water rights were transferred or a payment-in-lieu was previously provided to the city for the subject property, evidence of those rights or payment-in-lieu may be offered to demonstrate compliance with this section. If the expected demand for water by the proposed development increases by more than one acre-foot over that for which water rights or payment-in-lieu of water rights were previously provided, additional water rights or payment-in-lieu of water rights pursuant to subsection A equal to the difference between the previously provided water rights or payment- in-lieu and the estimated current demand or payment-in-lieu price must be provided. C. Provision of water rights or payment-in-lieu may be deferred: 1. By phase for phased developments.;= 2. For annexations of vacant land when the annexation is in excess of ten acres. 3. For annexation of parcels of ten acres or less, or for any size parcel if development exists on the area being annexed prior to the annexation and provision of water rights or payment-in-lieu pursuant to subsection A is provided at the time of annexation for the uses present on the site at the time of annexation. Subsequent development is subject to the provisions of subsection A. 4. For additional development beyond one dwelling unit per lot for lots zoned residential within a subdivision if water rights or payment-in-lieu is provided pursuant to subsection A prior to final plat for at least one residential unit on that lot. Additional development requires compliance with the this section. A notice of restriction on future development in a form acceptable to the city must be recorded with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder prior to the city granting a waiver under this section. 5. For commercial, industrial and institutional uses, until final site plan approval or the issuance of any building permit, whichever occurs first. D. The city manager must adopt administrative procedures to implement this section. The director of public works must adopt standards for the calculation of demand for water use. The unit cost for payment-in-lieu must be established by commission resolution. The administrative procedures must include but need not be limited to standards governing acceptance of water right transfers, and a means to establish credits against the transfer of excess rights. The standards governing acceptance of water right transfers may enable a deferral of payment-in-lieu, provided that the party obligated for the payment-in-lieu executes a fee deferral agreement and related documents as approved by the city attorney to be recorded at the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder's office securing the amount due. E. The amount paid for a payment-in-lieu must be calculated using the per unit price in effect on the date the payment-in-lieu of water rights is to be made to the city. The director of public works must make proper distribution to the funds for which such payments are made of all money collected. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 345 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.420 Park & Recreation Requirements (Article 27) Sec. 38.420.010. - General. (38.27.010) Except as provided in 38.420.020.B, all subdivisions and residential developments subject to division 38.230 of this chapter, must comply with the provisions of this division 38.420. The purpose of this division 38.420 is to comply with sections 76-2-304 and 76-3-621 MCA; to advance the city's adopted plans for parks, trails and open space; to provide equal protection and treatment for different housing types and review processes with similar impacts on demand for service; to advance public health by encouraging and facilitating physical activity; and to address housing affordability. Sec. 38.420.020. - Park area and open space requirements. (38.27.020) The requirements of this article are based on the community need for parks and the development densities identified in the growth policy and this chapter. A. The area required by this subsection must be provided as a land dedication unless an alternate method of compliance is approved by the review authority. 1. When the net residential density of development is known, 0.03 acre per dwelling unit of land must be provided. a. When the net residential density of development is known at the time of preliminary plat and net residential density is in excess of eight dwellings per acre, the requirement for dedication for that density above eight dwellings per acre must be met with a cash donation in-lieu of the additional land unless specifically determined otherwise by the review authority. b. If net residential density is in excess of eight dwellings per acre, the requirement for dedication for that density above eight dwellings per acre must be met with a cash donation in-lieu. c. When developed as group quarters, such as group living or community residential facilities, rather than individual dwelling units, in lieu of 0.03 acres per dwelling unit, an area of 575 square feet per resident must be provided. d. Land dedication or its equivalent must not be required for any dwelling units or group quarters occupancy in excess of the following: (1) For development within the R-1, R-2, and R-MH zoning districts, the maximum net residential density must be ten dwelling units or 22.5 persons in group quarters per acre. (2) For development within the R-3, R-4, R-5, R-O, and REMU zoning districts, the maximum net residential density must be 12 dwelling units or 27 persons in group quarters per acre. (3) For development within other zoning districts not previously specified and developed for residential uses, the maximum net residential density must be 12 dwelling units or 27 persons in group quarters per acre. 2. If net residential density of development is unknown, 0.03 acres per dwelling unit must be provided as follows: a. For initial subdivision or other development: (1) Within the R-1, R-2, and R-MH zoning districts: an area equal to that required for six dwelling units or 13.5 persons in group quarters per net acre. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 346 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (2) Within the R-3, R-4, R-5, REMU, and unless legally restricted from residential uses the R-O zoning districts: an area equal to that required for eight dwelling units or 13.5 persons in group quarters per net acre. (3) Within other zoning districts which are intended for residential development: the equivalent to an area dedication for six dwelling units or 13.5 persons in group quarters per net acre must be provided as cash-in-lieu. b. For subsequent development when net residential density becomes known, the net residential density per acre above the minimum established above must be rounded to the nearest whole number and applied as shown in the following table. All prior provision of parkland for the project site must count towards the maximum required dedication. Table 38.420.020.A Parkland Dedication Provisions Zoning District Required Dedication per Dwelling Maximum Required Dedication per Acre Cash-in-Lieu Required R-1, R-2, R-MH .03 acres or equivalent 10 dwellings Yes R-3, R-4, R-5, R-O, and REMU .03 acres or equivalent 12 dwellings Yes All other districts .03 acres or equivalent 12 dwellings Yes Required area per person Maximum required dedication per net acre Group quarters 575 square feet or equivalent 27 persons Yes 3. Special case. The city has established chapter 38, division 380, to encourage the provision and development of affordable housing. Reductions in required parkland dedication are established in 38.380.300. The reductions in parkland dedication to conform to division 38.380, may not reduce the development's parkland requirements below the minimum established by MCA 76-3- 621. B. Exceptions. Land dedication or its equivalent cash donation in-lieu of land dedication must not be required for: 1. Land proposed for subdivision into parcels larger than five acres. Development of a parcel larger than five acres may require parkland dedication pursuant to 38.420.020.C. 2. Subdivision into parcels which are all nonresidential. 3. A subdivision in which parcels are not created, except when that subdivision provides permanent multiple spaces for recreational camping vehicles or manufactured homes. 4. A subdivision in which only one additional parcel is being created. Development of the additional parcel may require parkland dedication pursuant to 38.420.020.C. 5. A development for which the required amount of parkland is shown to have already been provided. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 347 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 6. Section 38.420.020.A.2, must does not apply to subsequent site development located within major subdivisions which received preliminary plat approval after July 1, 1973, and which received final plat approval prior to October 1, 2005. 7. Development creating only one additional dwelling unit or increasing occupancy of group quarters by no more than four persons. C. Development of a lot previously exempted from park dedication must be reviewed pursuant to this article. If the lot is no longer exempt from the park dedication requirement the development is subject to 38.420.020.A. D. To ensure coordination when parks are being created by a multiphase development, the entire parkland dedication must be accomplished at the time of the initial phase of the development. If necessary, this may be accomplished through the grant of public access easements on during later phases. E. The following land is unacceptable for parkland dedication: 1. Required watercourse setbacks unless approved by the review authority for incorporation into the design of the larger park area. 2. Stormwater retention or detention ponds, unless approved by the review authority and designed and constructed to the city’s adopted standards for joint park/stormwater control use. The city may accept such land for dedication to the city but must be maintained by the property owners’ association unless and until responsibility is assumed by affirmative action of the city. 3. Land with a grade of 25 percent or greater, unless the city commission makes specific findings in its favor as part of the adoption of a park master plan. 4. Other land such as land slides, rock falls, or subsidence areas, debris deposition areas, environmentally contaminated areas, and land containing deteriorated structures or other public or private nuisances, unless the review authority determines the hazards or excessive public burdens can be eliminated or will be overcome by appropriate design and construction plans. F. When land offered to the city for dedication as parkland to the city exceeds the amount required, the additional usable land may be dedicated to the city in the same manner and subject to the same standards as minimum required areas. H. Public Use. Land donated or dedicated to meet the requirements of this section must be provided for public use. The developer must execute the appropriate public access easements on privately- owned common land. The easements must be held by the city. The city's responsibilities for parkland dedicated by easement must be the same as for fee simple parkland dedication. Sec. 38.420.030. - Cash donation in-lieu of land dedication. (38.27.030) A. The review authority may determine whether the park dedication must be a land dedication, cash donation in-lieu of land dedication or a combination of both. For the purposes of this section construction of park improvements above the minimum improvements required by ordinance may be allowed as a method of cash donation. When making this determination, the review authority must consider the factors established by resolution of the city commission. The approval authority is governed by section 38.200.010. B. When a combination of land dedication and cash donation in-lieu of land dedication is required, the required cash donation may not exceed the proportional amount of the total required mitigation not covered by the land dedication. Nothing in this section prohibits a developer from offering more than the required minimum. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 348 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft C. Cash donation in-lieu of land dedication must be equal to the fair market value of the amount of land that would have been dedicated. The fair market value is the value of the unsubdivided, unimproved land after it has been annexed and given a municipal zoning designation. The city commission may adopt procedures to be used by the director of parks and recreation to determine the fair market value. The amount of the cash-in-lieu to be provided must equal the city’s established fair market value per square foot times the amount of land required to be dedicated. The city must periodically update the market value as deemed necessary to reflect changes in the price of land. The valuation used for calculating the amount due will be the valuation in effect at the time an application for final plat or final plan approval is complete. 1. Alternative. A developer may provide an alternate market valuation which complies with the following: a. It must be the responsibility of tThe developer to must provide an appraisal of the fair market value by a certified real estate appraiser of their choosing. The appraisal fee must be the responsibility of the developer and is responsible for the appraisal fee. b. When a land value must be established for cash-in-lieu of land dedication to satisfy the requirements of section 38.420.020, and the value of the land in an unsubdivided, unimproved, but annexed and zoned condition can not reasonably be reasonable determined, the developer may provide an appraisal of residentially zoned property with a zoning designation that allows the density of dwellings proposed for development. c. The appraisal provided for the purpose of section 38.420.030 must be conducted not sooner than 90 days prior to the submittal of an application for final plat or final site plan approval. D. Where a cash donation has been accepted in-lieu of land dedication, the amount of cash donation must be stated on the final plat or plan as appropriate. E. Where a cash payment or construction of improvements has been accepted in-lieu of land dedication, the city must record in the meeting minutes or other written decision why the dedication of land for parks was undesirable. F. Use of cash donations. 1. The city must use a cash donation for development or acquisition of parks to serve the development. 2. The city may use the cash donation to acquire or develop parks or recreational areas within its jurisdiction or for the purchase of public open space or conservation easements, only if: a. The park, recreational area, open space or conservation easement is within a reasonably close proximity to the proposed development; and b. The city commission has formally adopted a citywide park plan that establishes the needs and procedures for use of the cash donation. Sec. 38.420.040. - Park use. (38.27.040) As part of an individual park master plan, the developer must indicate the proposed use of the park as active, passive, playground, ball field, etc. However, the final use of the park must be determined by the review authority. Sec. 38.420.050. - Location. (38.27.050) A. General. The review authority, in consultation with the developer, recreation and parks advisory board, and the planning board if applicable, may determine suitable locations for parks and BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 349 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft playgrounds. Parkland must be located on land suitable to and supportive of the activities and functions depicted in the relevant park plan, and unless the park plan indicates a requirement for another configuration, should be kept in a large block. B. Subarea or neighborhood plans. If a subarea or neighborhood plan has been adopted for the area, the subdivision must comply with the subarea or neighborhood plan for the location of parks. Sec. 38.420.060. - Frontage. (38.27.060) A. Parkland, excluding linear trail corridors, must have frontage along 100 percent of its perimeter on public or private streets or roads. The city may consider and approve the installation of streets along less than 100 percent, but not less than 50 percent, of the perimeter when: 1. Necessary due to topography, the presence of critical lands, or similar site constraints; and/or 2. When the following elements are included: a. When direct pedestrian access is provided to the perimeters without street frontage; and b. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking which would have otherwise been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets and the additional land is developed as a parking area; or c. When additional land area is provided in the park to accommodate the off-street parking which would have been provided by the additional length of perimeter streets and, in lieu of the constructed parking area, an equivalent dollar value of non-parking improvements within the park are provided according to the individual park plan. The park in the left image is surrounded by streets on all four sides. The open spaces in the right image are bordered by streets on one or two sides, but their configuration with a perimeter walkway and dwelling units facing the park/open space are an acceptable design option. Figure 38.420.060 Acceptable park frontages. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 350 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.420.070. - Linear parks. (38.27.070) A. General. If consistent with the growth policy or citywide park plan, and if reviewed and approved by the review authority, linear parks must be dedicated to the city to provide corridors for recreation pathways as defined in section 38.420.110. 1. Pathway corridors within required watercourse setbacks must not be dedicated to the city as linear parks and such land may not be used to satisfy parkland dedication requirements. Instead, cash donation in-lieu of land dedication credit must be granted only for the cost of constructing Class II or III recreational trails if public access is provided. The developer must provide a detailed cost estimate for installation of the trail, for review and acceptance by the city, to determine the cash donation credit. a. Within required watercourse setbacks, a public access easement that is at least 25 feet in width must be provided to ensure adequate room for the construction, maintenance and use of the trail. B. Width. To ensure adequate room for pathway construction, maintenance and use, linear parks must be at least 25 feet in width. C. Maintenance. These areas must be maintained in accordance with section 38.420.110.E until an alternative method (e.g., a citywide parks maintenance district) of funding and maintaining the linear park is established. Sec. 38.420.080. - Park development. (38.27.080) A. General. Developers must consult any adopted citywide park plan, and with the recreation and parks advisory board which implements the plan, to determine the types of parks needed for the proposed development and surrounding area. Parks must be developed in accordance with the citywide park plan and any approved park master plan. At a minimum, all parks must be improved to the following standards by the developer, prior to final plat or final occupancy approval as appropriate: 1. Minimum required improvements to land dedications. The subdivider must be responsible for leveling any park area, amending the soil, seeding disturbed areas to allow mowing with turf type mowers, and installing an underground irrigation system in compliance with city standards and specifications. a. Parks must be seeded with drought tolerant grass seed unless approved otherwise in writing by the park superintendent. 2. Irrigation. The developer must be responsible for irrigateing the park area until 50 percent of the subdivision lots or condominium units are sold. Thereafter, the property owners’ association must be responsible for park irrigation. The property owners' association could may establish an improvement district to collect assessments to pay for irrigation. a. Wells must be used to irrigate parkland. B. Boundaries. The park boundary bordering all private lots must be delineated at the common private/public corner pins, with flat, flexible fiberglass posts, a minimum of six feet in length with no less than two feet driven into the ground. Each post must be labeled, with a permanent glued on sign, stating "Park Boundary" or "Property Boundary." Other forms of boundary marking may be approved by the planning or other appropriate department. C. Sidewalks. Sidewalks, when required within the development, must be installed by the developer at points where the park borders or crosses public or private streets. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 351 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft D. Stormwater detention/retention ponds. Stormwater retention or detention ponds may be located within public parkland, but such areas must do not count towards the parkland dedication requirement. Any stormwater ponds located on parkland must be designed, constructed and/or added to so as to be conducive to the normal use and maintenance of the park. Stormwater ponds must may not be located on private lots. Stormwater retention or detention ponds must be maintained by the property owners’ association. E. Clean up required. The park area must have allAll fencing material, construction debris and other trash must be removed from the park area. trash removed. Sec. 38.420.090. - Waiver of park maintenance district. (38.27.090) When required, the developer must sign, and file at the county clerk and recorder's office, a waiver of right to protest the creation of a park maintenance district. The waiver must be filed with the final subdivision plat, or recorded at the time of other final approval. Sec. 38.420.100. - Waiver of required park dedication. (38.27.100) A. The review authority must may waive the park dedication or cash donation in-lieu of land dedication requirement if land equal to or exceeding the area of the dedication otherwise required by this division 38.420 is set aside by one of the following means: 1. The proposed development provides: long-term protection of critical wildlife habitat; cultural, historical, archaeological or natural resources; agricultural interests; or aesthetic values. 2. The proposed development provides for a planned unit development or other development with land permanently set aside for park and recreational uses sufficient to meet the needs of the persons who will ultimately reside in the development. 3. The development is a land subdivision created by rent or lease (i.e., manufactured housing communities and recreational vehicle parks) with land permanently set aside for parks or playgrounds within the subdivision for rent or lease for the common use of the residents of the development. a. These park or playground areas must be maintained by the property owners’ association. 4. The developer provides for land outside of the subdivision to be set aside for park and recreational uses sufficient to meet the needs of the persons who will ultimately reside in the subdivision. a. The land being developed must be within the service area, as designated by an adopted citywide park plan, of the dedicated parkland; and b. The developer must dedicate the off-site parkland to the city; or c. The developer must execute the appropriate public access easements on privately-owned land. The easements must be held by the city. The city's responsibilities for parkland dedicated by easement must be the same as for fee simple parkland dedication. 5. The developer provides land outside the development that affords long-term protection of critical wildlife habitat; cultural, historical, archaeological or natural resources; agricultural interests; or aesthetic values; and the area of the land to be subject to long-term protection equals or exceeds the area of the dedication otherwise required by this division 38.420. 6. A subdivider may dedicates land to School District 7 to provide some or all of the land area required by section 38.420.020. The area dedicated to the school district may be used for school facilities or buildings, including but not limited to play grounds or other recreational BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 352 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft facilityfacilities. Any dedication to the school district must be subject to the approval of the review authority and acceptance by the board of trustees of School District 7. a. In approving a dedication of land to the school district the review authority must make affirmative findings that: (1) Adequate public parkland already exists within the vicinity of the dedicating subdivision to meet service standards established by the city's parks master plan; (2) The land is located within the city limits or within one mile of city limits; (3) The school district has established a facility plan to demonstrate how the dedicated property will be utilized; (4) The school district's facility plan must describe any coordination intended for joint use of the property by the school district and the city; and (5) The option for cash-in-lieu of land described in section 38.420.030 must not be used in place of a land dedication to the school district. b. It must be noted in a certificate on the plat and in any deed to the land that if School District 7 later chooses to dispose of the property, it must revert to the city to be used for park purposes. The land must be transferred to the city from School District 7 with clear title and in a condition meeting the minimum development standards for parks established in section 38.420.080. 7. If a tract of land is being developed under single ownership as a part of an overall plan, and part of the tract has previously been subdivided or developed, and sufficient parkland dedication or cash donation in-lieu of land dedication has been provided from the area that has been previously subdivided or developed to meet the requirements of this section for the entire tract being developed, the city commission must issue an order waiving the land dedication and cash donation requirements for the subsequently developed area. B. Section 38.420.020 requires mitigation of recreational impacts, usually by dedication of land for parks. Under defined circumstances in this section the required dedication may be waived. However, the underlying issue of mitigating recreational impacts must be addressed. If an application provides one or more of the alternatives under Paragraph A of this section then the required mitigation has been partially provided. To complete the mitigation, the alternative to land dedication must allow public access. The developer must execute the appropriate public access easements in a form acceptable to the city attorney prior to final approval of the development. The easements must be held by the city. Sec. 38.420.110. - Recreation pathways. (38.27.110) A. General. Developers must install pathways in accordance with this chapter, the growth policy, the most recently adopted long-range transportation plan, any adopted citywide park plan, and any adopted individual park master plan, and must comply with City of Bozeman Design Specifications. B. Pathway categories. The development review committee (DRC) must beis responsible for determining whether a pathway is a transportation pathway or a recreation pathway. For subdivision proposals, this determination must be made during the pre-application process. 1. Recreation pathways. The review authority may require developers to install recreation pathways and/or, to provide recreational and physical fitness opportunities within the development, as part of the required development improvements. Recreation pathways include the following facilities: BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 353 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft a.

Pathways located within parks; and e. Class II and III trails. 2. Transportation pathways. For the definition of transportation pathways, please see section 38.400.110. C. Related facilities. If pathways are proposed or required, stream crossings and other similar improvements, where necessary, must be installed. Bridge design and construction must comply with city specifications and standards, and must be submitted to the community development department for review and approval. Any necessary permits for bridges must be obtained by the developer from the appropriate agency prior to installation of the stream crossings. D. Trail requirements. The class of the trail must be determined by the review authority and the trail must be designed and constructed according to any adopted park or recreation plan or other city specifications and standards. Trails and bridges must meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifications for recreational facilities and maintain a natural appearance. Trail plans and specifications must be submitted to the planning and parks departments for review and approval prior to installation. E. Pathway maintenance. Recreation pathways within the proposed development must be maintained, in conformance with an approved maintenance plan, by the developer until 50 percent of the lots or condominium units are sold. Thereafter the property owners’ association must beis responsible for maintenance. The property owners’ association could may establish an improvement district to collect assessments to pay for the maintenance. F. Pathway easements. Where pathways cross private land or common open space, the proper public access easements must be provided. Public access easements for pathways must be at least 25 feet wide. G. Linear parks. Corridors for recreation pathways may be dedicated to the city in accordance with section 38.420.070. H. Park and pathway development frontages. All developments adjacent to existing or planned trails or parks are subject to the block frontage standards of 38.510.030.I (trail/park frontages).

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 355 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.430 Planned Unit Developments (Article 20) Sec. 38.430.010. - Intent. (38.20.010) A. It is the intent of the city through the use of the planned unit development (PUD) concept, to promote maximum flexibility and innovation in the development of land and the design of development projects within the city. Specifically, with regard to the improvement and protection of the public health, safety and general welfare, it must beis the intent of this chapter to promote the city's pursuit of the following community objectives: 1. To ensure that future growth and development occurring within the city is in accord with the city's adopted growth policy, its specific elements, and its goals, objectives and policies; 2. To allow opportunities for innovations in land development and redevelopment so that greater opportunities for high quality housing, recreation, shopping and employment may extend to all citizens of the city area; 3. To foster the safe, efficient and economic use of land, transportation and other public facilities; 4. To ensure adequate provision of public services such as water, sewer, electricity, open space and public parks; 5. To avoid inappropriate development of lands and to provide adequate drainage, water quality and reduction of flood damage; 6. To encourage patterns of development which decrease automobile travel and encourage trip consolidation, thereby reducing traffic congestion and degradation of the existing air quality; 7. To promote the use of bicycles and walking as effective modes of transportation; 8. To reduce energy consumption and demand; 9. To minimize adverse environmental impacts of development and to protect special features of the geography; 10. To improve the design, quality and character of new development; 11.

To promote the efficient use of land resources, full use of urban services, mixed uses, transportation options, and detailed human-scale design; and 15. To meet the purposes established in section 38.100.040. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 356 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.430.020. - Application and uses of a planned unit development. (38.20.020) A. A planned unit development may be applied to any subdivision, or to any development having one or more principal uses or structures on a single parcel of real property or contiguous parcels of real property. Land use patterns and uses must generally conform to growth policy land use designations and underlying zoning districts. Approval for an additional use or combination of uses may be allowed in a planned unit development only when such additional uses are consistent with the city growth policy and relevant criteria in section 38.430.090.E and are not prohibited elsewhere in this chapter. B. All planned unit developments must consist of a harmonious arrangement of lots, uses, buildings, parking areas, circulation and open spaces. All planned unit developments must be designed as an integrated unit, in such a manner as to constitute a safe, efficient and convenient development. C. Any planned unit development must beis considered as a conditional use within the zoning district in which it is to be located. D. All planned unit developments must complement or be harmonious with existing adjacent development. Sec. 38.430.030. - Special conditions of a planned unit development. (38.20.030) A. The following special conditions must apply to any planned unit development: 1. Single ownership. The tract or parcel of land involved must be either in one ownership or the subject of an application filed jointly by the owners of all the property to be included. 2. Title holdings. The approved final plan must specify the manner of holding title to areas and facilities of joint use and how areas of joint use must be maintained. Normally such areas and facilities must be retained in title by the developers or deeded to an organization composed of all owners in the development meeting the requirements of section 38.220.190. 3. Reserved. 4. Use of general building and development standards. a. All planned unit developments must be reviewed against the development standards established in this chapter. However, in order to encourage creativity and design excellence that would contribute to the character of the community, deviations from the requirements or the standards of this chapter may be granted by the review authority after considering the recommendations of the applicable review bodies established by this chapter. The PUD application must be accompanied by written and graphic material sufficient to illustrate the initial and final conditions that the modified standards will produce. Such written and graphic materials may include textual descriptions, site plans, renderings of proposed elevations or landscapes, or similar materials. b. All requested deviations, waivers of submittal requirements and other relaxations of regulatory requirements must be identified in writing at the time of preliminary plan submittal. Failure to identify such items may result in the delay of application processing in order to receive necessary materials, provide additional public notice or implement other curative actions. c. The review authority must make a determination that the deviation will produce an environment, landscape quality and character superior to that produced by the existing standards of this chapter, and which will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this division 38.430, with the adopted goals of the city growth policy and with any relevant adopted design objectives plan. Upon deciding in favor of the deviation request, the review BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 357 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft authority may grant deviations, above or below minimum or maximum standards respectively as established in this chapter, including the complete exemption from a particular standard. If the review authority does not determine that the proposed modified standards will create an environment, landscape quality and character superior to that produced by the existing standards of this chapter, and which will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this division 38.430 and with any relevant design objectives plan, then no deviation shall will be granted. 5. Establishing additional standards. In addition to the general building and development standards, the city must havehas the right to establish general design standards, guidelines and policies, for the purpose of implementing and interpreting the provisions of this division 38.430. 6. Conformance to sign code. All signs proposed in conjunction with a planned unit development must be reviewed against the provisions of the city sign regulations,must comply with division 38.560 of this chapter. All signage must be approved as part of the PUD and must be designed as an integral element of the overall planned unit development. Approval of signs within a planned unit development must rests upon a determination by the city commission, as provided by the specific proposal, that the intent of the sign regulations is achieved. The review authority may approve a deviation for sSigns which do not comply with division 38.560 of this chapter must receive a deviation. Sec. 38.430.040. - Planned unit development review procedures and criteria. (38.20.040) A. When a subdivision is proposed in conjunction with a zoning planned unit development, the subdivision review must be coordinated with the zoning review. All steps listed in this section must apply whether the application is for a subdivision or zoning PUD, and references herein to plan includes plat unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Approval of a planned unit development must consists of three procedural steps: pre-application, preliminary plan, and final plan. All subdivision PUDs must also meet all standards for plats. 1. Pre-application review. a. A pre-application review is mandatory for all planned unit development proposals. b. A pre-application must be submitted for review and discussion with the DRC, DRB, and planning staff of the applicant's proposal and any requirements, standards or policies that may apply. This step represents an opportunity to identify any major problems that may exist and identify solutions to those problems before formal application. c. Pre-application review procedures. Pre-application review meetings will be held by the DRC and DRB and will provide guidance for planned unit development applications. The general outline of the planned unit development proposal, presented as graphic sketch plans, must be submitted by the applicant to the community development department at least ten days prior to the meeting of the review bodies. The outline must be reviewed by the DRC and DRB. Thereafter, the community development department must furnish the applicant with written comments regarding such submittal, including appropriate recommendations to inform and assist the applicant prior to preparing the components of the planned unit development preliminary plan application. 2. Preliminary plan review. Sufficient information must be submitted to permit review of the land use relationships, densities and the type, size and location of the principal design elements of the planned unit development by the advisory bodies and review authority. For a planned unit development that will be developed in phases, the developer must submit either a preliminary plan for all phases, or else submit a preliminary plan for the initial phase or phases and BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 358 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft development guidelines for all subsequent phases. Submittal requirements are in addition to those required for site plan and conditional use permit review. a. Application process. Upon completion of pre-application review and receipt of the community development department's comments on the pre-application, an application for preliminary plan approval may be filed with the community development department. b. Public hearings and meetings. Notice of public hearings and/or public meetings for any preliminary plan application must be provided in accordance with division 38.220 of this chapter. c. Review criteria. In order to approve an application for a planned unit development the city commission must determine that the application is in conformance with all applicable standards, objectives and criteria of this chapter unless an appropriate deviation is granted. d. Recommendations. The DRC and DRB must recommend the approval, conditional approval or denial of the preliminary plan to the review authority and must include in such recommendation the basis upon which such recommendation was determined. e. Preliminary plan approval. The city commission, after conducting a public hearing, may approve, disapprove or approve with conditions the proposed planned unit development. The city commission must issue a written record of its decision to discuss and weigh the review criteria and standards applicable to the PUD. 3. Final plan review and approval. The final plan must be in compliance with the approved preliminary plan and/or development guidelines except as provided for in subsection 3.d of this section, and must be reviewed by DRC and ADR staff and approved by the review authority. a. Application process. Upon approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plan and the completion of any conditions imposed in connection with that approval, an application for final plan approval may be submitted. b. Review criteria; compliance with preliminary plan. For approval to be granted, the final plan must be in compliancecomply with the approved preliminary plan. This must means that all conditions imposed by the city commission as part of its approval of the preliminary plan have been met and: (1) The final plan does not change the general use or character of the development; (2) The final plan does not increase the amount of improved gross leasable nonresidential floor space by more than five percent, does not increase the number of residential dwelling units by more than five percent and does not exceed the amount of any density bonus approved with the preliminary plan; (3) The final plan does not decrease the open space and/or affordable housing provided; (4) The final plan does not contain changes that do not conform to the requirements of this chapter, excluding properly granted deviations, the applicable objectives and criteria of section 38.430.100, or other objectives or criteria of this chapter. The final plan must not contain any changes which would allow increased deviation/relaxation of the requirements of this chapter; and (5) The final plat, if applicable, does not create any additional lots which were not reviewed as part of the preliminary plan submittal. c. Final plan approval. The final plan may be approved if it conforms to the approved preliminary plan in the manner described above. Prior to final plan approval, the review authority may BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 359 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft request a recommendation from the DRB, DRC, ADR staff, or other entity regarding any part of a proposed final plan. If a final plat is part of the final plan submittal, the review authority per section 38.200.010 must have responsibility to approveis responsible for approval of the final plat. (1) Final plats associated with a PUD must be subject tocomply with the requirements of sections 38.240.110 and 38.220.070. d. Amendments to final plan. Building Issuance of building permits and other development approvals must beare based on issued on the basis of the approved final plan and any conditions of approval. No city administrative personnel are permitted to issue permits for improvements which are not indicated on the approved final plan with the exception of the following: (1) Minor changes. (a) Minor changes to a planned unit development may be approved administratively and in writing, whereupon a permit may be issued. Such changes may be authorized without additional public notice at the discretion of the review authority. This provision must does not prohibit the review authority from requesting a recommendation from the DRB, DRC, ADR staff or other entity. (b) Minor changes must beare defined as follows: (i) Those developments that do not change the character of the development; (ii) An increase of less than five percent in the approved number of residential dwelling units; (iii) An increase of less than five percent in the approved gross leasable floor areas of retail, service, office and/or industrial buildings; (iv) A change in building location or placement less than 20 percent of the building width without compromising requirements of the UDO; (v) An increase in the number of lots less than two percent without increasing the density by more than five percent. This is applicable only to zoning PUD plans, not subdivision PUD plats; (vi) The A final plan must which does not contain any changes which would allow increased deviation/relaxation of the requirements of this chapter; and/or (vii) The A final plat, if applicable, which does not create any additional lots which were not reviewed as part of the preliminary plan submittal. (c) When a planned unit development has been prepared in sufficient detail to address the concerns of division 38.230 of this chapter including but not limited to general building envelopes, design character of buildings, and landscaping for some or all of the parcels within its boundaries the final site development plans may be reviewed as an amendment to the PUD final plan. The intention to use this provision must be part of the initial submittal and review of the PUD. (2) Major changes. (a) Major changes to a planned unit development must follow the same planned unit development review and public notice and comment process required for approval of preliminary plans. The final plan must not contain any changes which would allow BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 360 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft increased deviation/relaxation of the requirements of this chapter without being individually noticed and reviewed for the proposed change. (b) Major changes must beare defined as follows: (i) A change in the character of the development; (ii) An increase of greater than five percent in the approved number of residential dwelling units; (iii) An increase of greater than five percent in the approved gross leasable floor areas of retail, service, office and/or industrial buildings; (iv) A reduction in the approved open space and/or affordable housing units provided; (v) A change in the location and placement of buildings; and/or (vi) An increase in the number of lots above what was approved through the preliminary plan review. This is applicable only to zoning PUD plans, not subdivision PUD plats. The final plat, if applicable, may not create any additional lots which were not reviewed as part of the preliminary plan submittal. Sec. 38.430.050. - Plan submittal requirements. (38.20.050) For each stage of the review process, the applicable information and data described in division 38.220 of this chapter must be submitted unless the DRC determines that the information is unnecessary for the proper evaluation of the development based on the evaluation of the pre-application review. Only after the community development department has determined that all required information has been submitted will the application be processed. When a proposed PUD includes both a subdivision and zoning component, a coordinated application on a form to be provided by the community development department must be used to coordinate submittal materials and prevent redundant requirements. Sec. 38.430.060. - Duration of planned unit development approval. (38.20.060) A. Duration of preliminary plan approval. The provisions of this subsection A do not apply to subdivision elements of a PUD. 1. Within a maximum of one year following the approval of a preliminary plan, the applicant must file with the community development department a final plan in detailed form covering the entirety, or one or more phases, of the development. 2. Upon application and in accordance with the standards of section 38.230.160.F, the community development director may administratively extend the period for filing a final plan for six-month periods. The granting of administrative extensions under this section may, at the discretion of the community development director, be referred to the city commission. 3. If no final plan is filed covering all or any portion of the preliminary plan within the above time limits, the right to proceed under the preliminary plan must will expire for any portion of the preliminary plan for which a final plan has not been timely filed. B. Duration of final plan approval. 1. The applicant must undertake and complete the development of an approved final plan within two years from the time of final plan approval. For the purposes of this section, a development is substantially complete once all engineering improvements (water, sewer, streets, curbs, gutter, streetlights, fire hydrants and storm drainage) are installed and completed in accordance with city rules and regulations. Extensions for periods of not more than one year may be administratively granted by the community development director in accordance with the BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 361 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft standards of section 38.230.160.F. The granting of administrative extensions under this section may, at the discretion of the community development director, be referred to the city commission. 2. A request for extension of final approval under this section must be submitted to the community development director in writing by the applicant at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration. Failure to submit a written request within the specified time period shall will cause forfeiture of the right to extension of final approval. Failure to construct the development and implement improvement requirements within the specified time limit shall will cause a forfeiture of the right to proceed under the final plan and require resubmission of all materials and re- approval of the same through the preliminary plan procedures. 3. The timing of all extensions of final plan approval must be coordinated with the approval period established for any subdivision plat approval that is part of the PUD so that any expiration dates are consistent. 4. Final plan approval may occur multiple times under the provisions for phased PUDs described in section 38.430.070. Sec. 38.430.070. - Phasing of planned unit developments. (38.20.070) A. Applications for phased planned unit developments. If a planned unit development is intended to be developed over time in two or more separate phases, application for approval of a phased planned unit development must follow procedures established for pre-application review as outlined in this division 38.430. After pre-application review is completed, phased PUDs may be proposed in accordance with one of the following procedures: 1. Application for simultaneous approval of all phases of the PUD. a. Where all phases of a PUD are planned in detail, an application for approval of all phases of the PUD may be made in accordance with preliminary plan review and approval procedures outlined in this division 38.430. In such cases, preliminary plans and all required supplemental information must clearly set forth phased development boundaries, schedules and other details pertaining to the phasing of the project. b. Upon approval of the preliminary plan for all phases of the PUD, each phase of the development may occur in accordance with the review and approval procedures for final plans as specified in this division 38.430. 2. Application for approval of initial phase of the PUD with subsequent phases master planned and subject to development guidelines. Where the applicant wishes to gain preliminary and final approval for the initial phase of a PUD, and further wishes to gain master plan and development guidelines approval for subsequent phases of the PUD, preliminary and final plan review and approval procedures for the initial phase must be followed in accordance with this division 38.430. A master plan and development guidelines for the remaining phases of the development must be provided for review and approval as outlined in subsection B of this section. B. Phased PUD approval process. Master plans and development guidelines must will be reviewed and approved according to the procedures established for preliminary plans as established set forth in this division 38.430. When a master plan and development guidelines for a phased PUD have been reviewed and approved by the review authority, each phase of the PUD may be developed in accordance with the review and approval procedures set forth in this division 38.430 for final plan reviews. C. Phased PUD review criteria. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 362 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 1. In general, tThe review criteria for phased preliminary and final PUDs must beis the same as that for PUDs as set forth in this chapter. 2. In those cases where master plans and development guidelines are proposed to govern the development of future phases of the PUD, the review authority must determine that the proposed master plan and development guidelines are provided in sufficient detail to support a determination that the phased PUD will comply with all requirements for PUD approval if developed in accordance with the approved master plan and development guidelines. 3. DRB or ADR staff, as applicable, and DRC must review and approval of preliminary and final plans, for those phases of a PUD which have an approved master plan and development guidelines, must ensurefor compliance and consistency with said master plan and development guidelines. 4. Should DRC, DRB or ADR staff, as applicable, determine that proposals to develop subsequent phases of a PUD are not in compliance with the approved master plan and development guidelines, the determination may be appealed to the city commission subject to the provisions of division 38.250. D. Phased planned unit development submittal requirements. 1. Master plan submittal requirements. Master plans for phased PUDs must consist of a detailed site plan depicting: a. Existing conditions for the entire phased PUD as required by section 38.220.120.A.2 and 3; and b. Proposed conditions pertaining to such elements as building location, open spaces, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, and boundaries of the individual phases of the PUD in as much detail as is required by the evaluation of the pre-application review as outlined in this division 38.430. 2. Development guidelines submittal requirements. Development guidelines for phased PUDs must be submitted to the community development director as detailed in application forms.part of the application submittal in one or more orderly documents. Each document must contain a table of contents and must be in an 8½- by 11-inch vertical format, bound to open flat for review. All graphic representations must be in 8½- by 11-inch or 11- by 17-inch format.

If a project is to be built in phases, each phase must include an appropriate share of the proposed recreational, open space, affordable housing and other site and building amenities of the entire development used to meet the requirements of section 38.430.090.E.2. The appropriate share of the amenities for each phase must be determined for each specific project at the time of preliminary approval and must may not be based solely upon a proportional or equal share for the entire site. Requirements may be made for off-site improvements on a particular phased project. F. Final plans for phased PUD developments. Final plans for a planned unit development may be submitted in phases. The final plan must conform to the preliminary plan of a planned unit development, as approved. G. Duration of phased PUD development guidelines approval. Within a maximum of five years following the approval of development guidelines for a planned unit development, development must commence or the development guidelines must be reviewed for renewal. Any subsequent approvals of a preliminary plan must conform to the development guidelines. Sec. 38.430.080. - Enforcement of approval requirements and conditions. (38.20.080) The failure to comply with any of the terms, conditions of approval or limitations contained on the site plan, landscape plan, building elevations, or other approved documents, or other element pertaining to a planned unit development which has received final approval from the city may subject the applicant or current landowner to the enforcement remedies contained in section 38.200.160. Sec. 38.430.090. - Planned unit development design objectives and criteria. (38.20.090) A. General. For any planned unit development proposal to be approved it must first be found, by the review authority, after recommendation from the DRC, DRB or WRB (if applicable), to be in compliance with this chapter including any applicable criteria of this section. B. Land use classifications. 1. The design objectives and criteria with which a planned unit development proposal must comply are dependent upon the designated growth policy land use classification and zoning district of the site proposed for the planned unit development. 2. All planned unit developments are reviewed against the objectives and criteria designated for all development. Each individual planned unit development is then reviewed against the objectives and criteria established for the land use classification of the site on which the proposal is to be BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 364 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft located. A planned unit development must satisfy all the objectives and criteria of all applicable groups. 3. In evaluating planned unit developments, the city may determine that certain criteria are not applicable or are irrelevant to a particular development proposal and therefore do not apply to that proposal unless those criteria are applicable to a deviation which is being sought by the applicant. Subsection E of this section contains the groups of objectives and criteria against which planned unit developments are reviewed. C. Evaluation process. The acceptability and performance of a planned unit development proposal must will be evaluated as follows: Each of the relevant objectives and criteria for the applicable land use classification and for all development contained in subsection E of this section, will be answered "Yes," "No" or "Not Applicable" (NA). A "No response" to any of the applicable objectives and criteria will automatically preclude the development proposal from further consideration and eventual approval, unless a deviation is granted by the review authority. An objective or criterion is considered to be applicable if it can reasonably be applied to the development proposal. The applicant must clearly demonstrate how the planned unit development specifically addresses each applicable objective and criterion. D. Responsibility for impact mitigation. To protect the character of new and existing neighborhoods against intrusive and disruptive development, any negative or adverse impacts must be effectively mitigated in the planned unit development plan, as per the following guidelines: 1. When two adjacent parcels are developed simultaneously, the responsibility for mitigating conflicts is upon the more intense use. 2. When a use is the first to develop on two adjacent vacant parcels, the first use must provide the necessary buffer to any reasonable future use as determined by the city. 3. The second use to develop must, at the time it develops, take all additional steps necessary to mitigate conflicts. 4. WHowever, when a planned unit development includes a use or uses which are not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning district, the responsibility for impact mitigation must lies exclusively with the planned unit development proposal. E. Design objectives and PUD review criteria. 1. The city will determine compatibility of a project based upon the evidence presented during evaluation of the community design objectives and criteria of this chapter. 2. In addition to the criteria for all site plan and conditional use reviews, the following criteria will be used in evaluating all planned unit development applications. a. All development. All land uses within a proposed planned unit development must be reviewed against, and comply with, the applicable objectives and criteria of the mandatory "all development" group. (1) Does the development comply with all city design standards, requirements and specifications for the following services: water supply, trails/walks/bike ways, sanitary supply, irrigation companies, fire protection, electricity, flood hazard areas, natural gas, telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets? (2) Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation? (3) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to produce an efficient, functionally organized and cohesive planned unit development? BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 365 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (4) Does the design and arrangement of elements of the site plan (e.g., building construction, orientation, and placement; transportation networks; selection and placement of landscape materials; and/or use of renewable energy sources; etc.) contribute to the overall reduction of energy use by the project? (5) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to maximize the privacy by theof residents of the project? (6) Parkland. Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the site configuration, and has the area of parkland or open space been provided for each proposed dwelling as required by section 38.420.020?. (7) Performance. All PUDs must earn at least 20 performance points. Nonresidential developments within the North 19th Avenue/Oak Street corridor must earn 30 points. Points may be earned in any combination of the following. The applicant must select the combination of methods but the city may require documentation of performance, modifications to the configuration of open space, or other assurances that the options selected must will perform adequately. (a) Provision of affordable housing. Exclusive of housing used to satisfy division 38.380: (i) Four Five points for each percent of dwellings to be constructed in the residential development which are provided by donation to the city; or — or non-profit Community Housing Development Organization or three one points for each build- ready lot donated to the city or non-profit Community Housing Development Organization for affordable housing provided by a residential or nonresidential development; or (ii) One Three points for each percent of dwellings to be constructed in the residential development which are provided by long term contractual obligation to an affordable housing agency, for a period of not less than 20 years, with a written plan assuring on-going affordability pricing and eligibility monitoring, and annual re-certification.

(f) Inclusion of a low impact development plan (6 points) that includes the following: (i) On-site stormwater treatment systems that exceed the requirements of chapter 40, article 4, Stormwater, including but not limited to: incorporating drainage methods and technologies that treat, detain and/or infiltrate stormwater as close as possible to the source of run-off and the use of natural drainage systems across sites, rather than underground closed-pipe systems to the extent feasible. Natural drainage systems reduce the negative impacts of stormwater runoff by redesigning residential streets to take advantage of plants, trees, and soils to clean runoff and manage stormwater flows. Vegetated swales, stormwater cascades, and small wetland ponds allow soils to absorb water, slowing flows and filtering out many contaminants. (ii) The low impact development plan must be integrated with the snow storage and management plan.

Equivalent programs will also be considered during Preliminary PUD review. (iii) Water use reduction. Covenants or design guidelines must include a commitment to use EPA's WaterSense certified products for all kitchen, bathroom and irrigation hardware. Equivalent programs will also be considered during preliminary PUD review. (iv) Provision of solar, wind or other alternative energy sources or participation in an approved cash-in-lieu program. A coordinated and detailed plan on how the development will address this component must be submitted. (h) Integrated and coordinated way-finding measures beyond minimum requirements within the overall project. (4 points). (i) On-site recycling transfer station. (4 points). (j) Public transportation bus station or enhanced covered bus stop. (One1 point per station or enhanced stop.) (k) Streetscape improvements (6 points): Streetscape design features that exceed the minimum street standards including street furniture, pedestrian lighting, low-impact development techniques, on-street parking standards, crosswalks, landscape and planting, way-finding, public art or other design elements. Such elements must be installed as part of the street infrastructure. (8) Is the development being properly integrated into development and circulation patterns of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated "pad" to adjoining development? b. Residential. Planned unit developments in residential areas (R-S, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, RMH and R-O zoning districts) may include a variety of housing types designed to enhance the natural environmental, conserve energy, recognize, and to the maximum extent possible, preserve and promote the unique character of neighborhoods, with provisions for a mix of limited commercial development. For purposes of this section, "limited commercial development" means uses listed in the B-1 neighborhood service district (division 38.310 of this chapter), within the parameters set forth below. All uses within the PUD must be sited and designed such that the activities present will not detrimentally affect the adjacent residential neighborhood. The permitted number of residential dwelling units must be BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 368 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft determined by the provision of and proximity to public services and subject to the following limitations and considerations: (1) On a net acreage basis, is the average residential density in the project (calculated for residential portion of the site only) consistent with the development densities set forth in the land use guidelines of the city growth policy? (2) Does the project provide for private outdoor areas (e.g., private yardsetbacks, patios and balconies, etc.) for use by the residents and employees of the project which are sufficient in size and have adequate light, sun, ventilation, privacy and convenient access to the household or commercial units they are intended to serve? (3) Does the project provide for outdoor areas for use by persons living and working in the development for active or passive recreational activities? (4) If the project is proposing a residential density bonus as described below, does it include a variety of housing types and styles designed to address community- wide issues of affordability and diversity of housing stock? (5) Is the overall project designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and to provide efficient public services and facilities? (6) Residential density bonus. If the project is proposing a residential density bonus (30 percent maximum) above the residential density of the zoning district within which the project is located and which is set forth in division 38.310 of this chapter, does the proposed project exceed the established regulatory design standards (such as for setbacks, off-street parking, open space, etc.) and ensure compatibility with adjacent neighborhood development? The number of dwelling units obtained by the density bonus must beis determined by dividing the lot area required for the dwelling unit type by one plus the percentage of density bonus sought. The minimum lot area per dwelling obtained by this calculation must be provided within the project. Those dwellings subject to division 38.380, must be excluded in the base density upon which the density bonus is calculated. (7) Limited commercial. If limited commercial development, as defined above, is proposed within the project, is less than 20 percent of the gross area of the PUD designated to be used for offices or neighborhood service activities not ordinarily allowed in the particular residential zoning district? (a) If neighborhood service activities are proposed within the project, is a market analysis provided demonstrating that less than 50 percent of the market required to support proposed neighborhood service activities is located outside the immediate area of the PUD and are the neighborhood services of a nature that does not require drive-in facilities or justification for through traffic? (b) If the project contains limited commercial development, as defined above, is the project located at the intersection of arterial streets, or arterial and collector streets? (c) If the project contains limited commercial development, as defined above, has the project been sited and designed such that the activities present will not detrimentally affect the adjacent residential neighborhood and have the commercial activities been developed at a scale compatible with residential development? (87) Does the overall PUD recognize and, to the maximum extent possible, preserve and promote the unique character of neighborhoods in the surrounding area? BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 369 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. Commercial. Planned unit developments in commercial areas (B-1, B-2, B-2M, B-3 and UMU zoning districts) may include either commercial or multi-household development;, however, adequate but controlled access to arterial streets is essentialrequired. Activities would may include a broad range of retail and service establishments designed to serve consumer demands of the city area. (1) If the project contains any use intended to provide adult amusement or entertainment, does it meet the requirements for adult businesses? (2) Is the project contiguous to an arterial street, and has adequate but controlled access been provided? (3) Is the project on at least two acres of land? (4) If the project contains two or more significant uses (for instance, retail, office, residential, hotel/motel and recreation), do the uses relate to each other in terms of location within the PUD, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, architectural design, utilization of common open space and facilities, etc.? (5) Is it compatible with and does it reflect the unique character of the surrounding area? (6) Is there direct vehicular and pedestrian access between on-site parking areas and adjacent existing or future off-site parking areas which contain more than ten spaces? (7) Does the project encourage infill, or does the project otherwise demonstrate compliance with the land use guidelines of the city growth policy? (8) Does the project provide for outdoor recreational areas (such as additional landscaped areas, open spaces, trails or picnic areas) for the use and enjoyment of those living in, working in or visiting the development? d. Industrial. Planned unit industrial developments in industrial areas (M-1, M-2, BP and NEHMU zoning districts) may include employment, wholesaling, manufacturing and utility centers for the community. The particular types or combination of uses must beare determined based upon its merits, benefits, potential impact upon adjacent land uses and the intensity of development. (1) Is the project located adjacent to an arterial or collector street that provides adequate access to the site? (2) Is the project developed such that the least intense uses must be located along the arterial streets, where visibility to the public is likely? More intense uses such as heavy industrial uses and warehousing activities will must be located away from the arterial streets, buffered by the other uses. (3) Does the project utilize a landscaping theme that will tie adjacent uses or projects together? (4) Is the project being developed on land substantially surrounded by property approved for development or developed property with existing services and utilities already available? e. Mixed use. Planned unit developments in mixed-use areas (REMU, UMU, a nd NEHMU zoning districts) may include commercial, light industrial, residential and mixes of various primary and accessory uses. The particular types or combination of uses must beare determined based upon its merits, benefits, potential impact upon adjacent land uses and the intensity of development. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 370 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (1) Is the project substantially consistent with the intent and purpose statements for the underlying zoning district? (2) Is the project located adjacent or within proximity to an arterial or collector street that provides adequate access to the site? (3) Is the project on at least two acres of land?

(8) Does the project encourage infill, or does the project otherwise demonstrate compliance with the land use guidelines of the Bozeman growth policy? (9) Does the project provide for outdoor recreational areas (such as urban plazas, courtyards, landscaped areas, open spaces, or urban trails) for the use and enjoyment of those living in, working in or visiting the development? (10) Does the project provide for private outdoor areas (e.g., private yardsetbacks, patios and/or balconies, etc.) for use by the residents and employees of the project which are sufficient in size and have adequate light, sun, ventilation, privacy and convenient access to the household or commercial units they are intended to serve? (11) Does the project provide for outdoor areas for use by persons living and working in the development for active or passive recreational activities? (12) Is the overall project designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and to provide efficient public services and facilities? (13) If the project is proposing a residential density bonus as described below, does it include a variety of housing types and urban styles designed to address community- wide issues of affordability and diversity of housing stock? (14) Residential density bonus. If the project is proposing a residential density bonus (30 percent maximum) above the residential density of the zoning district or building type within which the project is located and which is set forth in division 38.310 of this chapter, does the proposed project exceed the established regulatory design standards (such as for setbacks, off-street parking, open space, etc.) and ensure compatibility with adjacent neighborhood development? The number of dwelling units obtained by the density bonus must beis determined by dividing the lot area required for the dwelling unit type by one plus the percentage of density bonus sought.

Sec. 38.430.100. - North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street entryway corridors. (38.20.100) A. Intent and purpose. It is the intent and purpose of this section to establish the planned unit development (PUD) and/or master site plan review procedures as a method to guide future growth BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 371 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft and development within the area of the North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridor Master Plan. It is further intended to ensure that future growth and development will occur in accord with the goals and objectives of the North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridor Master Plan and it successors as a subarea plan to the city growth policy. B. Application. Planned unit development or master site plan provisions must apply to all nonresidential development proposals located in the North 19th Avenue and West Oak Street Entryway Corridor areas as designated on the land use plan of the North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridor Master Plan and on the city's official zoning map as follows: 1. North 19th Avenue (Class I and Class II corridor). All nonresidential development within the North 19th Avenue Entryway Corridor, between Durston Road and the North 19th Avenue- Interstate 90 Interchange, measured 660 feet from the centerline of North 19th Avenue., exclusive of the following: a. Between Durston Road and the south boundary of Covered Wagon Mobile Home Court, a Class II entryway corridor overlay classification shall be applied to the east side of North 19th Avenue, measured 330 feet from the centerline of North 19th Avenue. 2. West Oak Street (Class I and Class II corridor). All nonresidential development within the West Oak Street Entryway Ccorridor between North 7th Avenue and Rose Park shall be applied within such corridor as follows: a. Between North 7th Avenue and North 19th Avenue, measured 660 feet from the centerline of West Oak Street; or b. Between North 19th Avenue and the east boundary of Rose Park, measured 330 feet from the centerline of West Oak Street. C. It is required that any developments subject to this section comply with all of the specific development standards of article 5 of this chapter and the city of Bozeman design manualthe design objectives plan for North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridors. Any proposed master site plan may not include more than two dimensional deviations under section 38.340.170. Applications which have three or more deviations shall be submitted as a planned unit development. Residential developments within this corridor are not required to be developed as a planned unit development, but do need to comply with the specific development standards of article 5 of this chapter and the city of Bozeman design manuathe design objectives plan for North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridors. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 372 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft ARTICLE 5.

This article implements the Bozeman’s growth policy. Overall, this article: A. Provides clear objectives for those embarking on the planning and design of development projects in Bozeman; B. Preserves and protects the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Bozeman; C. Ensures that new commercial and multi-household development is of high quality and beneficially contributes to Bozeman’s character; D. Ensures that new developments within existing neighborhoods are compatible with, and enhance the character of Bozeman’s neighborhoods; E. Promotes an increase in walking and bicycling throughout the City; F Enhances the livability of Bozeman’s residential developments; G. Maintains and enhances property values within Bozeman. Sec. 38.500.020. – Applicability and compliance. The provisions in this article apply to development. However, since each division within it addresses different design and development elements, the applicability of each division is clarified at the beginning of the division. For instance, some divisions may only apply to new commercial and multi-household development, while individual sections in division 38.540 only apply to specific housing types. A. Relationship to other codes and documents. Where provisions of this article conflict with provisions in any other section of the UDC, this article prevails unless otherwise noted. Relationship with other notable design provisions and guidelines: 1. For sites within the city's established neighborhood conservation overlay district, the design provisions of division 38.340 supersede the provisions of this article. However, the review authority may apply the provisions of this article in the event of a conflict, where the review authority determines that the provisions herein help new development better meet the purpose and intent of neighborhood conservation overlay district per section 38.340.010. 2. The director of community development will maintain a design manual to illustrate best practices to implement the design standards of this chapter. The design manual is to assist citizens and design professionals by providing visuals and illustrative examples of the intent of the city’s guidelines and regulations. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 373 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft B. For building additions and remodels, three different thresholds have been established to gauge how the project design standards in this article are applied to such projects. See Figure 38.500.020 below for examples of site development and the respective types of improvements required under each of the three levels of improvements. 1. Level I Improvements include all exterior remodels, building additions, and/or site improvements commenced within a three-year period (based on the date of permit issuance) that affect the exterior appearance of the building/site and/or increase the building’s area by up to 20 percent. The requirement for such improvements is that the proposed improvements meet the standards and do not lead to further nonconformance with the standards. For example, if a property owner decides to replace a building façade’s siding, then the siding must meet the applicable exterior building material standards, but elements such as building articulation (see section 38.530.040) would not be required. 2. Level II Improvements include all improvements commenced within a three-year period (based on the date of permit issuance) that increase the building’s area by more than 20percent, but not greater than 50 percent. All standards that do not involve repositioning the building or reconfiguring site development apply to Level II Improvements. For example, if a property owner of an existing home in the B-2 zoning district wants to convert the home to an office and build an addition equaling 45 percent of the current building’s area, then the following requirements apply: a. The location and design of the addition/remodel must be consistent with the block frontage standards (division 38.510), which address building frontages, entries, parking lot location, and front setback landscaping. For such developments seeking additions to buildings where off-street parking location currently does not comply with applicable parking location standards, building additions are allowed, provided they do not increase any current non- conformity and generally bring the project closer into conformance with the standards (see division 38.550, Parking). b. Compliance with applicable site planning and design elements (division 38.520). c. Compliance with all building design provisions of division 38.530, except architectural scale and materials provisions related to the existing portion of the building where no exterior changes are proposed. The entire building must comply with building elements/details, materials, and blank wall treatment standards of section 38.540.070. d. Compliance with the off-street parking, landscaping, signage, and lighting provisions of divisions 38.550-580 that relate to proposed improvements. 3. Level III Improvements include all improvements commenced within a three-year period (based on the date of permit issuance) that increase the building’s area by more than 50 percent. Such developments must conform to all applicable standards. Site improvements are addressed in 38.230.150 and 38.230.160.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 375 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.510 Block Frontage Standards (Article 44) Sec. 38.510.010. – Introduction. (38.44.010) A. Purpose. 1. To provide standards to implement the growth policy and applicable adopted sub-area plans; 2. To design sites and orient buildings with an emphasis on compatible development and creating a comfortable walking environment; and 3. To provide standards that recognize the need for a system of streets and block frontages. B. Applicability. The provisions of this division apply to all development within Bozeman, except single to four, and two-, and three-household dwellings in any configuration. Also: 1. For clarification on the relationship between the provisions in this division and other documents and codes, see section 38.500.020.A. 2. For the application of building additions ,and remodels and site improvements, see section 38.500.020.B. 3. For clarification on how the provisions of this division are applied, see section 38.500.030. C. How to use this division. Since block frontage standards for individual properties depend on the type of street that properties front onto, consider the following steps in using this division: 1. Determine the zoning of your property, then see 38.510.020 to find the block frontage type designation for the street or streets fronting your property. For properties in residential zones, the standards for Landscaped block frontages (see section 38.510.030.C) apply. For properties in Industrial zones, see section 38.510.030.H. For properties that front onto multiple streets, see provisions in section 38.510.030.K; and 2. Go to the appropriate code section in this division for the block frontage standards for applicable block frontage type designation. Table 38.510.030.A includes a summary of the five primary street frontage type designations along with links to the appropriate sections, the intention for each block frontage designation, and key design/use provisions. Sec. 38.510.020. – Community design framework maps and standards. (38.44.010) A. About the maps. The maps, together with the block frontage standards in section 38.510.030, guide the look and feel of development in commercial and multi-household areas throughout Bozeman when viewed from the street. The provisions herein recognize that there is a hierarchy of different streets and block frontage types ranging from pedestrian-oriented storefronts to arterial streets/frontages that warrant greater flexibility in the design of frontages. The block frontage standards address streetfront elements including: 1. Building location and orientation. 2. Parking lot location. 3. Window transparency. 4. Weather protection. 5. Landscaping. The community design framework maps also identify high visibility street corner sites that warrant special design treatment. Ultimately, these “form-based” provisions will help to reinforce existing BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 376 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft and desired development patterns intended to implement the growth policy, including adopted neighborhood plans. B. All block frontages within residential zones are subject to landscaped block frontage provisions set forth in section 38.510.030.C. C. All block frontages within industrial zones are subject to the provisions of section 38.510.030.H. D. The default block frontage for new or undesignated streets (such as those within annexed land) in commercial and mixed-use zones is Mixed (see the mixed block frontage provisions set forth in 38.510.030.D), E. The block frontage designations apply to development on both sides of the street except where otherwise specified. F. Changes to the block frontage designation for new and existing streets may be made through the Community Design Framework Master Plan per section 38.510.030.L. G. A reference map of approved community design framework master plans and default block frontages is maintained by the Department of Community Development. The map is a visual representation of the text of this section and is for illustrative purposes only.

The design treatment of a façade and/or landscape element provides visual interest to the pedestrian and mitigates impacts of any blank wall area. H. Block frontages in the industrial zones are subject to the standards for “Other” streets as set forth in subsection G above except: 1. Minimum front setback provisions of division 38.320 supersede the building location provisions set forth in subsection G.2 of this section. 2. Planting areas between the sidewalk and the building, outdoor storage, or parking areas must be at least 20 feet in depth and are encouraged to meet the landscaping standards of division 38.550. Departure: Reductions in the landscaping frontage may be considered for low volume and low visibility streets entirely within the industrial zone. Land uses with a higher density of employees warrant standard landscaping and pedestrian access provisions. I. Trail/ Park frontages. Where a property fronts onto a park or a public trail, such frontages must comply with the mixed block frontage standards set forth in subsection D of this section. For non- residential developments/uses where the review authority determines that an orientation to the trail would not be appropriate based on the context of the site, the development must be subject to the standards for “other block frontages” set forth in subsection G above, with a minimum building setback of 20 feet from the applicable park/trail right-of-way, easement, or property line. The development in the left image includes a courtyard that orients towards the trail. The low fence allows visibility between the uses, yet divides public and private space in an acceptable manner. The right image illustrates an active commercial use fronting on the trail. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 390 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.510.030.I Park/trail frontage examples J. Special residential block frontage standards along sidewalks and internal pathways. For residences with ground floor living spaces facing a sidewalk or pedestrian path in a residential or mixed use development, the building must feature at least one of the public/private space transition elements described below. The objective of this standard is to ensure privacy and security for residents, and an attractive and safe pathway that complements the qualities of adjoining residences within a residential complex. 1. Raised deck or porch option. Provide at least a 60 square foot porch or deck raised at least one foot above grade. The porch or deck must be at least six feet deep, measured perpendicular to the building face. (The deck may be recessed into the unit floor plan so that deck does not extend from the building face a full six feet.) A low fence, rail or hedge, two feet to four feet high, may be integrated between the sidewalk or internal pathway and deck or porch. 2. Front setback options. Provide a minimum ten-foot setback between the sidewalk or internal pathway and the face of the residence. Design options for the front setback: a. Landscaped area, meeting the provisions of division 38.550. b. Semi-private patio space screened by a low fence or hedge (see section 38.350.060). 3. Raised ground floor. If the residence’s ground floor is a minimum of three feet above the grade adjacent to the building, then the landscaped area in option 2 above may be reduced to four feet wide (except where greater setbacks are specified for the applicable zoning district in division 38.320).  Other transition design measures that adequately protect the privacy and comfort of the residential unit and the attractiveness and usefulness of the pathway at least as effectively as options 1 through 3 above. See Figure 38.510.030.J below for examples of the above treatments.

Where a property fronts onto multiple streets/frontage designations. Where a property fronts onto more than one street and each street has a different frontage designation, each building frontage must comply with the standards for the block frontage upon which it fronts, with the following clarifications: 1. Where a conflict exists between frontage standards, the review authority will apply the standards of a block frontage pursuant to the following order of preference: a. Storefront; b. Mixed; c. Landscaped; then d. Other. Items 2-5 below clarify how the order of preference works for particular frontage elements. 2. Building Location: For corner sites with landscaped block frontage on one street and storefront or mixed on another, a storefront frontage may wrap around the corner (on the landscaped block frontage side) for up to a half block width or no more than 120 feet (whichever is more). 3. Entrances: For corner sites, entrances on both streets are encouraged, but only one entrance is required. For corner sites with frontage on a storefront block frontage on one side, an entrance must be placed on the storefront block frontage side. For corner sites with a mix of designations that do not include a storefront block frontage, the entry must be placed on the order of preference identified above.  Departures may be considered provided the location and design of the entry and block frontage treatments are compatible with the character of the area and enhance the character of the street. 4. Transparency: For corner sites – at least one block frontage must meet the applicable transparency standards (based on the order of preference above). For the second block frontage, the review authority may approve a reduction in the minimum amount of transparency by 50 percent. For street corners with the same designations on both frontages, buildings must BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 392 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft employ the full transparency on the dominant frontage (based on the frontage width or established neighborhood pattern). 5. Parking: Surface parking (including ground floor parking in a structure) adjacent to a street corner is not allowed, except: a. Corner lots with non-designated frontages (other) on both streets; b. Other combination of block frontages, except those with a storefront designation, via a departure and subject to the applicable departure criteria.

Community Design Framework Master Plan. Recently annexed or rezoned commercial or mixed-use properties, as well as strategic large undeveloped sites, necessitate a different approach to applying block frontage standards. The provisions below identify the intent, applicable sites, block frontage designation options, and special standards for developing community design framework master plans. 1. Intent. a. To provide a 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 an arrangement of streets, buildings, open space, parking and service areas that create a strong sense of community and enhance 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. 2. Applicable sites. a. Recently annexed sites zoned as one of the commercial or mixed-use zoning districts. b. Sites recently rezoned as one of the commercial or mixed-use zoning districts that are not addressed in the community design framework maps. 3. Block frontage designation options. a. Prior to development of applicable sites, a community design framework master plan must be developed, approved and recorded for the property per the procedures set forth in section 38.230.130. The master plans must include: (1) New streets and internal roadways along with block frontage designations (types included in this section). (2) Any designated high visibility street corners. (3) Any planned open spaces, trails, and shared use paths. (4) Any special phasing conditions. (5) Other special design conditions unique to the site and plan that must be implemented with future site plan development. b. Community design framework master plans may utilize any existing block frontage designations that border the site, or include an alternative block frontage designation type or types, subject to master plan approval. c. Alternatively, site plan development may occur on applicable sites without an approved and recorded community design framework master plan, provided all block frontages comply with the standards for mixed block frontages as set forth in subsection D of this section. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 394 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 4. Master plan design standards. Community design framework master plans must meet the intent as set forth above plus the following parameters for specific sites: Table 38.510.030.L Community design framework master plan design standards The provisions below are intended to guide the design of individual community design framework master plans. They are referred to as standards, since all proposed plans must successfully demonstrate how they comply with the provisions herein. All Sites  Configure site to create a pedestrian-oriented focal point. Such a focal point could be a main street (storefront), a central square surrounded by storefronts or other similar elements.  Larger sites have greater expectations in the amount of storefront designated frontages.  Goals, policies and concepts from adopted plans must be used to help determine compliance with these standards. Examples of commercial centers configured to create a pedestrian-oriented focal point. In the left examples, site development is configured to create a “main street” with storefronts along the main internal roadway. Parking lots are carefully located to the rear of buildings. The right image illustrates a similar concept and includes a centralized plaza space. Figure 38.510.030.L Development examples. 5. Community design framework master plans are subject to the application requirements and procedures set forth in section 38.230.130.

Preserve and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Bozeman. B. To promote thoughtful layout of buildings, parking areas, and circulation, service, landscaping, and amenity elements that enhances Bozeman’s visual character, promotes compatibility between developments and uses, and enhances the function of developments. Also see the individual “intent” statements for each section in this division. Sec. 38.520.020. – Applicability and compliance. The provisions of this division apply to all development within Bozeman, except single to four-, two, and three-household dwellings on individual lots. The excepted dwellings are subject to the form and intensity standards in section 38.360.210. Townhouses and rowhouses are subject to the form and intensity standards in section 38.360.240. Also: A. For clarification on the relationship between the provisions in this division and other documents and codes, see section 38.500.020.A. B. For the application to building additions, remodels see section 38.500.020.B. C. For clarification on how the provisions of this division are applied to site improvements, see sections 38.230.150, 38.230.160, and 38.230.170. D. The review authority may waive or relax these provisions in the industrial zones depending on the type of use, number of anticipated employees and customers, and the site’s physical context. A greater number of employees and/or customers and higher visibility levels warrant a greater application of building design standards. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 396 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.520.030. – Relationship to adjacent properties. A. Intent. 1. To promote functional and visual compatibility between developments. 2. To protect the privacy of residents on adjacent properties. B. Balconies along side and rear property lines adjacent to residentially zoned properties. Balconies or rooftop decks within 15 horizontal feet of a side property line abutting a residentially zoned property must feature a railing system that is at least 50 percent opaque. Specifically, 50 percent of the area below the railing must be a sight-obscuring structure. Figure 38.520.030.B Privacy Standards for Balconies Within 15 Feet of Side or Rear property lines Departures from this standard will be allowed if the balcony will not cause visual or privacy impacts due to its location, orientation, design or other consideration. C. Light and air access and privacy along side and rear property lines. Buildings or portions thereof containing multi-household dwelling units whose only solar access (windows) is from the applicable side of the building (facing towards the side property line) must be set back from the applicable side or rear property lines at least 15 feet. See Figures 38.520.030.B and C. Departures will be allowed where it’s determined that, based on the unique site context, the proposed design won’t create a compatibility problem in the near or long term.

Sec. 38.520.040. – Non-motorized circulation & design. A. Intent. 1. To improve the pedestrian and bicycling environment by making it easier, safer, and more comfortable to walk or ride among residences, to businesses, to the street sidewalk, to transit stops, through parking lots, to adjacent properties, and connections throughout the city. 2. To enhance access to on- and off-site areas and pedestrian/bicycle paths. B. Access to sidewalk. All buildings must feature pedestrian connections to a sidewalk per applicable block frontage standards in division 38.510. See subsection D below for access design requirements. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 398 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.520.040.B Examples of direct pedestrian access to buildings from the street. C. Internal circulation. 1. For sites with multiple buildings, pedestrian paths or walkways connecting businesses and residential entries on the same development site must be provided. Routes that minimize walking distances must be utilized to the extent practical. Departures will be allowed where steep slopes prevent a direct connection or where an indirect route would enhance the design and/or use of a common usable open space. See subsection D below for walkway design standards. Figure 38.520.040.C.1 Internal and external pedestrian connections are important. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 399 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 2. Sites with residential units. Provide direct pedestrian access between all ground related unit entries and a public street or to a clearly marked pathway network or open space that has direct access to a public street. Residential developments must provide a pedestrian circulation network that connects all main entrances on the site to other areas of the site, such as: a. Parking areas; b. Recreational areas; c. Common outdoor areas; d. Any pedestrian amenities; For townhouses or other residential units fronting the street, the sidewalk may be used to meet this standard. The entries of the example on the left connect directly to a public sidewalk while the entries in the right example connect to a common path that extends to the sidewalk. Figure 38.520.040.C.2.a Direct pathways between the street and dwelling units are required. Figure 38.520.040.C.2.b Examples of attractive pathway connection through a residential development. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 400 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 3. Crosswalks are required when a walkway crosses an on-site paved area accessible to vehicles. Crosswalks must contain contrasting material (such as concrete) and/or patterns (such as stamped asphalt), excluding painted surfaces. 4. Pedestrian paths through parking lots. Developments must provide specially marked or paved sidewalks through parking areas. At least one walkway must be provided every four rows of parking or at a maximum spacing of 200 feet. The pathways must provide a safe connection to the building entrance and meet the pathway design standards set forth in subsection D below. See examples below. Note the location of the parking lot pathway in the upper right example (connecting shops in one building to the main entry of a grocery store). 5 Note in both examples that the concrete pathway extends into the vehicular area to provide a highly visible and safe crosswalk. Figure 38.520.040.C.4 Parking area pathway standards and examples. 5. Connections to adjacent properties (including parks and trails). Provide pathways that connect to adjacent properties, except in one of the following circumstances: a. When adjacent properties are residential developments of fewer than five dwelling units. b. Departures are permitted where it is determined that internal connections aren’t necessary due to shallow lot depths, steep slopes, or other contextual challenges. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 401 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 6. Barriers that limit future pedestrian access are prohibited. Gates that limit access to employees are permitted. See subsection D below for walkway design standards. 7. Provide easements for non-motorized access to facilitate the future extension of paths when adjoining properties are improved. D. Pathway design. 1. All internal pathways must have a minimum five-foot-wide unobstructed surface, except where wider pathways are prescribed in this division or where the applicable uses and context dictate wider pathways. 2. Where parking is adjacent to perpendicular or angled parking, an extra two feet of walkway width must be provided to mitigate for parked vehicles overhanging the walk way. 3. Pathways must be separated from structures by at least three feet of landscaping except where the adjacent building façade meets the Storefront block frontage standards per section 38.510.030.B. Departures are permitted for other landscaping and/or façade design treatments to provide attractive pathways will be considered. Examples include sculptural, mosaic, bas- relief artwork, or other decorative treatments that meet the intent. Figure 38.520.040.D.3 below provides one example. Internal walkways adjacent to building walls that do not meet storefront façade standards must provide at least three feet of landscaping to enhance the character of the walkway. The review authority will consider alternative treatments, such as decorative walls (right example). Figure 38.520.040.D.3 Standards for internal walkways adjacent to buildings 4. Pathway design where multi-tenant commercial or mixed-use buildings 100 feet or more in length abut parking lots. Such pathways must feature a 12-foot wide sidewalk with: a. Eight feet minimum unobstructed width: b. Trees, as approved by the review authority, placed at an average of 50 feet on-center and placed in grates or in planting strips as set forth in subsection C below. Departure: Breaks in the tree coverage will be allowed near major building entries to enhance visibility. c. Planting strips may be used between any vehicle access or parking area and the pathway, provided that the trees required above are included and the pathway meets the applicable width standards herein, and the combined pathway and planting strip is at least 12 feet wide; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 402 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.520.040.D.4 Example of a successful pedestrian sidewalk between parking lot and storefront. d. Light pathways in accordance with division 38.570; e. See also section 38.520.050.D, internal roadway design; f. Hard surface. E. Bicycle facilities. Provide bicycle racks, lockers, or other means of safely and conveniently parking bicycles at the rate specified in section 38.540.050. Sec. 38.520.050. – Vehicular circulation & parking. The standards herein supplement the provisions of divisions 38.400 and 540. Where there is a conflict, these provisions apply. A. Intent. 1. To create a safe, convenient, and efficient network for vehicle circulation and parking. 2. To enhance the visual character of interior access roads. 3. To minimize conflicts with pedestrian circulation and activity. B. Driveway provisions. Drive aisles must meet the standards set forth in section 38.400.090. Supplemental provisions: Minimize parking lot entrances, drive aisles, and other vehicle access routes onto private property from a public right-of-way through the following means: 1. Driveway lanes crossing a public sidewalk must be no wider than the minimum required per entry or exit lane. The city may impose additional restrictions to parking lot and vehicle access points to reduce impacts to public safety, pedestrian movement, on-street vehicle circulation, and visual qualities. 2. Minimize the number of driveway entrances. Comply with the provisions of section 38.400.090. 3. The review authority may require joint drive aisles serving adjacent developments when joint access is physically and legally available. 4. Minimize conflicts between entries and vehicle parking and maneuvering areas. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 403 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 5. At street corner sites, drive aisles must be located on the lowest classified roadway and as close as practical to the property line most distant from the intersection, unless the review authority finds there is a compelling reason to the contrary. C. Inter-site connectivity. The provision of through vehicle access connections between commercially or non-residentially zoned properties is required except where the review authority determines it is unfeasible or undesirable (e.g., where it is determined that such a vehicle connection would impact safe pedestrian movement). See section 38.410.040 for specific block standards. Vehicle access may be in the form of a dedicated or private alley, connected or shared parking lots, shared drive aisles, or similar features. D. Internal roadway design. 1. To increase the function and appearance of internal roadways on large sites (greater than two acres), street trees and sidewalks must be provided on all internal access roadways, except access roads designed solely for the purpose of service (e.g. waste pick-up) and loading. 2. In some instances where traffic speed and volume are low, the review authority may approve a street where vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian movement are mixed such as in a “woonerf” or “shared street.” Woonerf streets must feature traffic calming and safety measures as well as landscape and amenity features as determined by the review authority. 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. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 404 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 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. 3. Drive-through facilities. Where allowed, drive through facilities (e.g., drive-up windows) must comply with the following. a. Drive-through lanes, including waiting and holding lanes, must be separated from public view and internal sidewalks by a planting strip (at least five feet wide with continuous plantings of evergreen shrubs and/or trees that will provide continuous evergreen screen at least four feet tall at maturity) and/or a masonry wall at least three feet high.  Alternative landscaping schemes may be approved provided they include the masonry wall and a substantial vegetative screen. The landscaping must comply with division 38.560. b. Drive-through lanes must not restrict pedestrian access between a public sidewalk and on- site buildings. Walkways must not be located within required stacking space as set forth in section 38.540.020.N. c. Also see sections 38.360.100 and 38.540.020.N for related standards. Sec. 38.520.060. – On-site residential open space. A. Intent. 1. To create useable space that is suitable for leisure or recreational activities for residents. 2. To create open space that contributes to the residential setting. 3. To provide plazas that attract shoppers to commercial areas. 4. To provide plazas and other pedestrian oriented spaces in commercial areas that enhance the employees’ and public’s opportunity for active and passive activities, such as dining, resting, people watching, and recreational activities. 5. To enhance the character and attractiveness of commercial development. B. Usable residential open space. 1. All multi-household development, including multi-household portions of mixed-use development, must provide minimum usable open space equal to 100 square feet per dwelling unit for studio and one bedroom dwellings and 150 square feet per dwelling unit for dwellings with two or more bedrooms. All group living developments must provide minimum usable open space equal to 37 square feet per person. The required open space may be provided in a combination of ways: a. Shared open space. One hundred percent of the required open space may be in the form of shared open space available to all residents and meeting the requirements of subsection B.2 below. Shared open space may be in the form of courtyards, front porches, patios, play areas, gardens or similar spaces. b. Ground level private outdoor space. One hundred percent of the required open space may be provided by ground level outdoor space that is adjacent and directly accessible to the subject unit. Such open spaces must be enclosed by a fence and/or hedge at least 32 inches in height to qualify.* Departures to this standards are permitted. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 405 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. Balconies. Up to 50 percent of the required open space may be provided by private balconies provided they meet the requirements of subsection B.3 below.* d. Common indoor recreation areas. Up to 50 percent of the required open space may be provided by common indoor recreation areas meeting the requirements of subsection B.4 below. e. Shared roof decks. For mixed-use buildings, up to 100 percent of the required open space may be provided by shared roof decks located on the top of buildings which are available to all residents and meet the requirements of subsection B.5 below. * Individual private open space (as defined in subsections B.1.b and c) in excess of minimum requirements must not be used in the calculations for determining the minimum usable open space requirements for other units in the development. 2. Shared open space. Shared open space can include landscaped courtyards or decks; entrance plazas; gardens with pathways; children’s play areas; pools; and water features provided they are accessible to all residents of the development. Accessible areas used for stormwater retention or other multipurpose recreational and/or green spaces that meet the design criteria herein may qualify as shared open space. Special requirements for common usable open spaces include the following: a. Shared open space must be located in centralized areas that are visible from units within the development. b. Required setback areas does not count as shared open space unless the design of the space meets the standards herein. c. Shared open space must feature no dimension less than 15 feet in order to provide functional leisure or recreational activity (unless otherwise noted herein). d. Shared open space must feature paths or walkable lawns, landscaping, seating, lighting, and play structures, sports courts, or other pedestrian amenities to make the area more functional and enjoyable for a range of users. e. Shared open space must be separated from ground level windows, streets, service areas and parking lots via landscaping, fencing, and/or other acceptable treatments that enhance safety and privacy for both the shared open space and dwelling units. f. When possible the space should be oriented to receive sunlight, facing east, west or preferably south. g. Stairways and service elements located within or on the edge of shared open space must not be included in the open space calculations. h. Shared porches may qualify as shared open space provided they are at least eight feet in depth and 96 square feet in total area. i. The space must be accessible to all residents of the development. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 406 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft The upper left example include a combination of open lawn area for informal recreation plus walkways and decorative landscape areas to enhance the setting for residents. The upper right courtyard includes walkways, seating areas, landscaped beds, and decorative lighting to provide a visual and physical amenity 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 Shared open space examples. 3. Private balconies and decks. Such spaces must be at least 36 square feet, with no dimension less than six feet, to provide a space usable for human activity. 4. Indoor recreational areas. Such spaces must meet the following conditions: a. The space must be located in a visible area, such as near an entrance, lobby, or high traffic corridors; b. The space must be designed specifically to serve interior recreational functions and not merely be leftover unrentable area used to meet the open space requirement. Such space must include amenities and design elements that will encourage use by residents. 5. Shared rooftop decks. Such spaces must meet the following requirements: a. Space must feature hard surfacing, providing and amenities such as seating areas, landscaping, and/or other features that encourage use; b. Space must integrate landscaping elements that enhance the character of the space and encourage its use; c. Space must incorporate features that provide for the safety of residents, such as enclosures, railings, and appropriate lighting levels. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 407 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.520.060.B.5 Rooftop deck examples. C. Usable commercial open space. New developments with non-residential uses (except for development within the industrial zones) on sites with a total site area greater than one acre must provide open space equal to at least two percent of the development envelope. The open space may be in the form of pedestrian-oriented open space per subsection D below, garden, play area or other open space feature that serves both as a visual amenity and a place for human activity. Portions of sidewalks that are wider than 12 feet and which meet the standards of pedestrian- oriented open space may be counted toward this requirement. For this specific standard, “Site area” includes all land needed for the non-residential portion of the project including parking, service areas, access and required landscaping. Non-residential open space features must be approved by the review authority.  Reduced open space area will be considered by the review authority for projects that include exceptional design features and elements that meet the intent of the standards. This includes open spaces that feature a combination of design (site materials, amenities, and configuration) and location/context that clearly exceed typical plaza designs found in the region. All departures must feature usable open space no less than one percent of the development envelope. 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. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 408 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.520.060.C Example of site development integrating usable commercial open space. D. Pedestrian-oriented open space design criteria. This subsection describes the requirements and desired characteristics of pedestrian oriented open space (which may be used to meet the requirements of subsection C above). 1. Required pedestrian-oriented open space features. a. Visual and pedestrian access into the site from a street, private access road, or non- vehicular courtyard; b. Paved walking surfaces of either concrete or approved unit paving; c. Lighting must conform to division 38.570; d. The spaces must be located in or adjacent to areas with significant pedestrian traffic to provide interest and security, such as adjacent to or visible from a building entry; e. At least two feet of seating area (a bench or ledge at least 16 inches deep and appropriate seating height) or one individual seat per 60 square feet of plaza area or open space; f. Landscaping components that add visual interest and do not act as a visual barrier. This could include planting beds, raised planters, and/or potted plants. 2. Desirable pedestrian-oriented open space features: a. Pedestrian amenities, such as site furniture, artwork, drinking fountains, shade structures or other similar features; b. Adjacent buildings with transparent windows and doors covering at least 50 percent of the façade between 30 inches and 10 feet above the ground level; c. Pedestrian weather protection, alcoves, seating, or other features along building edges to allow for outdoor gathering. 3. Features prohibited within a pedestrian-oriented open space: a. Asphalt pavement; b. Adjacent service areas (e.g., trash areas) that are not separated with landscaping, as required in section 38.520.070. c. Adjacent chain-link fences; d. Adjacent "blank walls" without "blank wall treatment" (see 38.530.070.C); e. Outdoor storage.

In the right image, the widened sidewalk area may be counted as pedestrian-oriented open space. Figure 38.520.060.D.2 Desirable examples of pedestrian-oriented open space Sec. 38.520.070. – Location and design of service areas and mechanical equipment. Also see section 38.320.130 for trash and garbage enclosure requirements. A. Intent. 1. To minimize adverse visual, odor, and noise impacts of mechanical equipment, utility cabinets and service areas at ground and roof levels. 2. To provide adequate, durable, well-maintained, and accessible service and equipment areas. 3. To protect residential uses and adjacent properties from impacts due to location and utilization of service areas. B. Location of ground related service areas and mechanical equipment. 1. Service areas (loading docks, trash dumpsters, compactors, recycling areas, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment areas) must be located for convenient service access while avoiding negative visual, auditory, olfactory, or physical impacts on the streetscape environment and adjacent residentially zoned properties. Service areas must be sited for alley access if available. The review authority may require evidence that such elements will not significantly impact neighboring properties or public areas. (For example, the review authority may require noise damping specifications for fans near residential zones.) 2. Exterior loading areas. Exterior loading areas for commercial uses must not be located within 20 feet of a residentially zoned property unless the review authority finds such a restriction does not allow feasible development, and alternative design measures can successfully mitigate potential negative impacts. For example, areas and drives may be required by the review authority to be separated from the residential lot by a masonry wall at least eight feet high. 3. Service areas must not be visible from the sidewalk and adjacent properties. Where the review authority finds that the only option for locating a service area is an area visible from a public right-of-way, internal pathway or pedestrian area, or from an adjacent property, the area must be screened with structural and landscaping screening measures provided in subsection C below and division 38.550. Service elements accessible from an alley are exempt from screening requirements. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 411 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 4. Design for safety. Other provisions of this section notwithstanding, service areas used by residents must be located to avoid entrapment areas and other conditions where personal security is potentially a problem. The review authority may require pedestrian-scaled lighting or other measures to enhance security. 5. Locate and shield noise producing mechanical equipment such as fans, heat pumps, etc.to minimize sounds and reduce impacts to adjacent residentially zoned properties. Locate service elements to reduce impacts on the residential and pedestrian environment, and provide appropriate enclosure Figure 38.520.070.B Service element location C. Screening of ground related service areas and mechanical equipment. 1. Where screening of ground level service areas is required (see subsection B above), the following applies: a. A structural enclosure must be constructed of masonry, heavy-gauge metal, or decay- resistant material that is also used with the architecture of the main building. The review authority may allow materials other than those used for the main building if the finishes are similar in color and texture or if the proposed enclosure materials are more durable than those for the main structure. The walls must be sufficient to provide full screening from the affected roadway, pedestrian areas or adjacent use. The enclosure may use overlapping walls to screen dumpsters and other materials (see Figure 38.520.070.C below); b. Gates must be made of heavy-gauge, site-obscuring material. Chain link or chain link with slats is not an acceptable material for enclosures or gates; c. Where the inside of service enclosures is visible from surrounding streets, pathways, and buildings, an opaque or semi-opaque horizontal cover or screen must be used to mitigate unsightly views. The horizontal screen/cover should be integrated into the enclosure design and compatible with adjacent development; d. Collection points must be located and configured so the enclosure gate swing does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or does not require that a hauling truck project into BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 412 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft any public right-of-way. Ensure that screening elements allow for efficient service delivery and removal operations. e. The service area must be paved. 2. The sides and rear of service enclosures must be screened with landscaping at least five feet wide in locations visible from the street, parking lots, and pathways to soften views of the screening element and add visual interest. Departures to the provisions of subsections B.1, 2, and 3 above will be considered per section 38.250.060 provided the enclosure and landscaping treatment meet the intent of the standards and add visual interest to site users. Figure 38.520.070.C Acceptable screening enclosures D. Utility meters, electrical conduit, and other service utility apparatus. 1. These elements must be located and/or designed to minimize their visibility to the public. Project designers are strongly encouraged to coordinate with applicable service providers early in the design process to determine the best approach in meeting these standards. If such elements are mounted in a location visible from the street, pedestrian pathway, shared open space, or shared auto courtyards, they must be screened with vegetation and/or integrated into the building’s architecture. 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). BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 413 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 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 E. Location and screening of roof mounted mechanical equipment. 1. All rooftop mechanical equipment, including air conditioners, heaters, vents, and similar equipment must be fully screened from public view both at grade and from higher buildings with the exception of solar panels and roof-mounted wind turbines. Screening must be located so as not to interfere with operation of the equipment. 2. For rooftop equipment, all screening devices must be well integrated into the architectural design through such elements as parapet walls, false roofs, roof wells, clerestories, or equipment rooms. Screening walls or unit-mounted screening is allowed but less desirable. Wood must not be used for screens or enclosures. Louvered designs are acceptable if consistent with building design style. Perforated metal is not permitted. 3. The screening materials must be of material requiring minimal maintenance, and must be as high as the equipment being screened. 4. Locate and shield noise producing mechanical equipment such as fans, heat pumps, etc. to minimize sounds and reduce impacts to adjacent properties.

See the individual “intent” statements for each section in this division. Sec. 38.530.020. – Applicability and compliance. The provisions of this division apply to all development within Bozeman, except single, two-, and three-household dwellings on individual lots unless otherwise noted. Specifically: A. For clarification on the relationship between the provisions in this division and other documents and codes, see section 38.500.020.A. B. For the application of building additions and remodels and site improvements, see section 38.500.020.B. C. For clarification on how the provisions of this division are applied, see section 38.500.030. D. The review authority may waive or relax these provisions in the industrial zones depending on the type of use, number of anticipated employees and customers, and the site’s physical context. The greater number of employees and/or customers and higher visibility levels warrant a greater application of building design standards. E. Place holder for Alternative Compliance Evaluation Path (ACEP) Sec. 38.530.030. – Building character. A. Intent. 1. To promote buildings with an architectural character that reflects the region’s aesthetic regionally appropriate architecture that and is based on human scaled design details, durable high quality materials, sustainable design measures, and that responds uniquely to the site’s context. 2. To emphasize that high quality design is most critical to Bozeman’s high visibility sites and corridors. 2. To emphasize high quality design in Bozeman’s built environment. 3. To avoid generic, corporate architectural designs that are not readily reusable or convert to another use that lessens the character and identity of Bozeman. For example, some franchise convenience uses have very specific architectural features (such as a distinctive roofline design that functions as a sign) that reinforce their identity. B. Building character standards and guidelines. 1. Developments within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) are subject to 38.340.050compliance with the guidelines for historic preservation & neighborhood conservation overlay district. Where there is a conflict between the NCOD guidelines and the standards of this division, the NCOD guidelines prevail. 2. The Bozeman design manual provides building design aspirations and guidance. It may be used as a tool to help determine whether departures to the building design standards in this division meet the intent of the standards. 3. The building design standards in this division 38.530 must be used to help form the character of new and remodeled buildings. C. Architecture that is defined predominately by corporate identity features and is difficult to adapt to other uses is prohibited. For example, some franchise convenience uses have very BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 416 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft specific architectural features (such as a distinctive roofline design that functions as a sign) that reinforce their identity. As tenants change in these types of buildings, these corporate identity features can negatively impact the character of the area and identity of new tenants. These features can also be very expensive to reconfigure and adapt to new uses. Sec. 38.530.040. – Building massing & articulation. A. Intent. 1. To employ façade articulation techniques that reduce the perceived scale of large buildings and add visual interest from all observable scales. 1. To articulate building elements in order to achieve an appropriate perceived scale and add visual interest. 2. To create clear and welcoming building entries. B. Façade articulation - Storefronts and other buildings with non-residential uses on the ground level façade must include articulation features every 40 feet (maximum) to create a human-scaled pattern. At least three of the following features must be employed at intervals no greater than 40 feet. B. Façade articulation - Storefronts and other buildings with non-residential uses on the ground level must include a minimum of three of the following articulation features every 60 feet (maximum) to create a human scaled façade pattern:  1. Windows. patterns and/or 2. Entries. 3. Use of weather protection features. 4. Use of structural expression. vertical piers/columns. 5. Change in roofline per subsection F below. 6. Change in building material or siding style. 7. Articulation of a single building material through varying colors, textures, or incorporating joints or an integrated trim pattern. 8. Other design techniques that effectively reinforce a human-scaled pattern compatible with the building’s surrounding context. Other features that could be used to meet the standards on block frontages that are not designated as storefront: 9. Providing vertical elements such as a trellis with plants, green wall, art element. 10. Providing vertical building modulation of at least 12 inches in depth if tied to a change in roofline per subsection F below or a change in building material, siding style, or color. Departures will be considered provided they meet the intent of the standards and the design criteria set forth in subsection D below: Exceptions: a. Only two articulation features are required on building façades in the BP district; b. Only one articulation feature is required on building façade s in the M-1 district; c. Buildings in the M-2 district are exempt from these standards. d. Building walls facing alleys, rear or side yards are not subject to the standards herein, except for zone edge properties, when adjacent to a lower-intensity zoning district. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 417 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft The left image uses window patterns, weather protection elements, and roofline modulation. The photo example to the right also includes window patterns and weather protection along with brick vertical piers to articulate the façade. The lower example illustrates how a multitenant retail building can successfully be articulated (windows, weather protection, vertical building modulation, and roofline changes) Figure 38.530.040.B Façade articulation examples. C. Façade articulation - Residential buildings must include articulation features at intervals that relate to the location/size of individual units within the building (or no more than every 30 feet) to break up the massing of the building and add visual interest and compatibility to the surrounding context. At least three of the following features must be employed at intervals no greater than the unit interval or 30 feet (whichever is less). C. Façade articulation - Residential buildings must include articulation features at appropriate intervals relative to the scale of the façade in order to reduce the perceived massing of the building and add visual interest. At least three of the following features must be employed at intervals relative to the individual dwelling units or at a maximum of every 30 feet. The scale of the façade articulation should be compatible with the surrounding context.  1. Use of windows 2. Entries. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 418 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 3. Use of weather protection features. 4. Use of vertical piers/columns. 5. Change in roofline per subsection F below. 6. Change in building material, and/or siding style, and/or window pattern. 7. Articulation of a single building material through varying colors, textures, or incorporating joints or an integrated trim pattern. 8. Providing vertical building modulation of at least 12 inches in depth if tied to a change in roofline modulation per subsection F below or a change in building material, siding style, or color. Balconies may be used to qualify for this option if they are recessed or projected from the façade by at least 18 inches. Juliet balconies or other balconies that appear to be tacked on to the façade will not qualify for this option unless they employ high quality materials and effectively meet the intent of the standards. 9. Other design techniques that effectively break up the massing at no more than 30-foot intervals. 10. Providing vertical elements such as a trellis with plants, green wall, and/or art element. Departures will be considered provided they meet the intent of the standards and the design criteria set forth in subsection D below. Below examples use a combination of vertical building modulation, window patterns, material changes, and roofline modulation. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 419 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.530.040.C Residential façade articulation examples D. Departure criteria associated with articulation standards. Proposals must meet the intent of the standards. The following criteria will be considered in determining whether the proposed articulation treatment meets the “intent.” 1. The type and width of the proposed articulation treatment and how effective it is in meeting the intent given the building’s current and desired context (per Bozeman’s growth policy or applicable adopted subarea plan). 2. The applicable block frontage designation. Undesignated block frontages warrant more flexibility than block frontages designated as mixed or landscaped. 3. The size and width of the building. Smaller buildings warrant greater flexibility than larger buildings. 4. The quality of façade materials in concert with doors, windows, and other façade features and their ability to add visual interest to the street from a pedestrian scale and more distant observable scales. This building is a good departure example. Its two clear articulation features are the window patterns and the entry/building modulation feature (3 minimum are required). However, the overall effectiveness of these articulation features combined with the high quality of materials and detailing and the relatively small width of the building help it meet the intent of the standards. Figure 38.530.040.D Façade articulation departure examples E. Maximum façade width. For most buildings, small scale articulation techniques (see subsections B and C above) are sufficient to reduce the perceived scale of buildings, add visual interest, and contribute to the pedestrian environment. Larger buildings need more substantial articulated/modulated features to break up the massing and add visual interest. Building façades wider than 100 150 feet must include at least one of the following features to break up the massing of the building and add visual interest. Building walls facing alleys, rear or side yards BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 420 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft are not subject to the standards herein, except for zone edge properties, when adjacent to a lower intensity zoning district. Existing buildings are exempt from subsection E. 1. Provide vertical building modulation at least 20 six feet deep and 30 ten feet wide. For multi- story buildings, the modulation must extend through more than one-half of the building floors. 2. Use a contrasting vertical modulated design component that: a. Extends through all floors above the first floor fronting on the street. Exception: upper floors that are set back more than ten feet horizontally from the façade are exempt; ba. Utilizes a change in building materials that effectively contrast from the rest of the façade; cb. Is modulated vertically from the rest of the façade by an average of six inches. d. Is designed to provide roofline modulation per subsection F below; 3. Façade employs building walls with contrasting articulation that make it appear like two multiple distinct buildings. To qualify for this option, these contrasting façades must employ all of the following: a. Different building materials and/or configuration of building materials; b. Contrasting window design (sizes or configurations). Departures will be considered provided the design meets the intent of the standards. Supplemental consideration for approving alternative designs:  Width of the façade. The larger the façade, the more substantial articulation/ modulation features need to be.  Block frontage designation. Storefront designated block frontages warrant the most scrutiny, while undesignated streets warrant more flexibility.  The type of articulation treatment and how effective it is in meeting the intent given the building’s context. Less than 100 or 120’ 150’ wide: Meets standard More than 100 or 120’ 150’ wide: Does not meet standard BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 421 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Building incorporates a 20’x30’ 6’x10’ courtyard along the façade to effectively break it up into smaller components: Meets standard. Both buildings use modulated entry feature to help break up the perceived massing and add visual interest. Figure 38.530.040.E Illustrating maximum façade width standards and good and bad examples. The left building on East Main (about 110’ wide) uses an articulated partial third floor along with smaller articulation treatments on the main floors to effectively break up the perceived scale and add visual interest (this would be a good departure example). The building to the right would not be an acceptable example. While the articulated features on the lower floors help, the monotony of the very long upper floor and roofline would not be acceptable. Figure 38.530.040.E Illustrating maximum façade width standards and good and bad examples. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 422 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft F. Roofline modulation. In order to qualify as a façade articulation feature in subsections B, C, and E above, rooflines must employ one or more of the following: 1. For flat roofs or façades with horizontal eave, fascia, or parapet, the minimum vertical dimension of roofline modulation is the greater of two feet or 0.1 multiplied by the wall height (finish grade to top of the wall) when combined with vertical building modulation techniques described in subsections above. Otherwise, the minimum vertical dimension of roofline modulation is the greater of four feet or 0.2 multiplied by the wall height an extension of the parapet or a break in the parapet of at least one foot measured from the adjacent roof or adjacent parapet. If no parapet is present a horizontal roof edge/eave extension of at least two feet. 2. A pitched roofline segment(s) scaled appropriately to the façade. or gabled roofline segment of at least 20 feet in width. Buildings with pitched roofs must include a minimum slope of 5:12 and feature modulated roofline components at the interval required per the applicable standard above. 3. A combination of the above. Departures will be considered provided the roofline modulation design effectively reduces the perceived scale of the building and adds visual interest. Roofline modulation examples for flat roofs. Figure 38.530.040.1 Acceptable examples of roofline modulation. The left building illustrates a pitched roof example and the right building includes a combination of flat and gabled rooflines.

Intent: 1. To encourage the incorporation of design details and small-scale elements into building façades that are attractive at a pedestrian scale. 1. To encourage building façades with attractive design details at an appropriate pedestrian scale relative to the overall composition of the building. 2. To integrate window design that adds depth, richness, and visual interest to the façade. B. Façade details – non-residential and mixed-use buildings. All commercial and mixed-use buildings must be enhanced with appropriate details. All new buildings, additions and buildings associated with Level II and III Improvements (see section 38.500.020.B) must employ at least one detail element from each of the three categories below for each façade facing a street or public space for each façade articulation interval (see section 38.530.040). For example, a building with 120 feet of street frontage with a façade articulated at 40-foot intervals will need to meet the standards for each of the three façade segments below. 1. Window and/or entry treatment, such as: a. Display windows divided into a grid of multiple panes; b. Transom windows; c. Roll-up windows/doors; d. Other distinctive window treatment that meets the purpose of the standards; e. Recessed entry; f. Decorative door; g.

C B. Window design standards. 1 All windows (except storefront display windows) must be recessed at least two inches from the façade or incorporate other design treatments that add depth, richness, and visual interest to the façade. 1. All windows (except storefront windows and curtain walls) must include trim or other design treatment, or alternately be recessed at least two inches from the façade. Understated or trim- less windows without additional design treatment are permitted provided the placement and design is integrated into the overall composition of the building. 2. Prohibited windows: a. Mirrored glass is prohibited. b. Continuous ribbon windows are prohibited. Departures to the window standards above will be considered provided the design meets the intent of the standards. Recessed and/or trimmed windows. The window in the left image lacks any other detail that adds visual interest. Figure 38.530.050.C Acceptable and unacceptable window design examples DC. High visibility street corner and gateway sites. All development proposals located at designated high visibility street corners and gateway sites must locate a building or structure within 20 feet of the street corner and include special design features that accentuate the street corner. Alternatively, the building could be configured with a corner plaza. Corner design features could BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 427 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft include a cropped building corner with an special entry feature, decorative use of building materials at the corner, distinctive façade articulation, a sculptural architectural element, or other decorative elements that meet the intent of the standards. Figure 38.530.050.D below illustrates acceptable examples. Building 1 includes a corner tower. Building 2 features cropped building corners with decorative elements. Building 3 uses a decorative functional canopy. Building 4 uses a change in building materials and façade articulation at the corner. Building 5 incorporates a plaza at the corner.

Cornice/roofline design. Buildings employing a flat roof must feature a distinctive roofline that effectively provides an identifiable “top” to the building. This could include a traditional cornice line or a contemporary interpretation of a traditional cornice line. Such rooflines must be proportional to the size and scale of the building. Understated cornice lines are permitted depending on the materials and design of the base and middle elements used to reinforce the base/middle/top configuration. Figure 38.530.050.E below illustrate acceptable and unacceptable examples. Building 1 uses a dramatic overhanging cornice at the corner. The left portion of Building 1 uses a very simple cornice line – to complement 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. Figure 38.530.050.E Examples of buildings employing confident and distinctive rooflines. D. Active Solar Collection Units (electronic and hydronic) Rooftop solar units are permitted, provided the placement and design of units visible from the surrounding streetscape is carefully integrated into the overall design concept of the building. 1 2 4 3 BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 429 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft FE. Articulated building entries. The pPrimary building entrance(s) for an office building, hotel, apartment building, public or community-based facility or other multi-story commercial building must be designed as a must be clearly defined and demarcated standout architectural feature of the building. Such entrances must be easily distinguishable from regular storefront entrances on the building. Such entries must be scaled proportionally to the building. See Figure 38.530.050.F below and the Bozeman design manual for good examples. Figure 38.530.050.F Acceptable building entry examples. F. Departures to building detail standards will be considered if they are determined to meet the intent of the standards in section 38.530.050 – Building Details. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 430 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Sec. 38.530.060. – Building materials. A. Intent. 1. To encourage the use of durable, high quality, and urban building materials that minimize maintenance costs and provide visual interest from all observable vantage points. 2. To promote the use of a distinctive mix of materials that helps to articulate façades and lends a sense of depth and richness to the buildings. 3. To place the highest priority on the first floor in the quality and detailing of materials at the pedestrian scale. 1. To encourage the use of durable materials to provide visual interest from vehicular and pedestrian vantage points with the highest priority at locations susceptible to damage from maintenance and weathering. B. Quality building materials. Applicants must use high quality durable materials. This is most important for the base of buildings, particularly for commercial and mixed-use buildings where the façade is sited close to sidewalks. At a minimum, stone, brick or tile masonry, or architectural concrete (first two feet only) must be used (excluding window and door areas) for the first floor of cladding on non-residential or mixed-use buildings and the first two feet of residential buildings. B. Durable building materials. Applicants must use durable materials. Where façades are located directly adjacent to a city sidewalk, impact resistant materials must be used (excluding window and door areas) for a minimum of the first 18 inches above the walking surface. C. Special conditions and limitations for the use of certain cladding materials. 1. Concrete block (a.k.a. CMU) may be used as a secondary cladding material if it is incorporated with other permitted materials. Alternative designs that use concrete block as the primary, but not the only, cladding material will be considered via departure provided the design incorporates a combination of textures and/or colors to add visual interest. For example, combining split or rock-façade units with smooth blocks can create distinctive patterns. The figures below illustrate acceptable concrete block use/designs. 1. Concrete block (a.k.a. CMU) when used as a primary cladding material, must be treated or articulated to provide visual interest above and beyond natural (uncolored, untreated) block with (matching) natural colored grout. Examples of such treatments include: (a) using ground, polished or split face units; (b) creating patterns/texture with different block sizes, face treatments, or colors; creating patterns/textures by modulating the finish plane of units; (c) utilizing contrasting grout color; (d) or utilizing sealers or painted treatments that enhance the finish of natural concrete block. Industrial zoning districts are exempt from subsection C. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 431 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft CMU is the primary cladding for the corner element above, but secondary to brick on the main façades. The corner element uses a combination of decorative split faced CMU closer to the sidewalk and smooth-faced CMU that is colored to look more like traditional white terra cotta tiles. The above façade illustrates an acceptable alternative example, as CMU is used as the primary cladding material. Note the use of split-façade CMU’s above each of the awnings and coupled with the use of smooth-façade CMU’s on the vertical columns (which employ black accent tiles for added interest). Figure 38.530.060.C.1 Acceptable concrete block use/design 2. Metal siding may be used as a secondary cladding material if it is incorporated with other permitted materials and complies with the following standards  a. It must feature visible corner molding and trim and must not extend to the ground level of non-residential and mixed-use buildings, and extend no lower than two feet above grade for residential buildings. Masonry, concrete or other durable material must be incorporated between the metal siding and the ground plane; b. Metal siding must be factory finished, with a matte, non-reflective surface. a. Metal siding must be a minimum 24 gauge thickness. Re-purposed metal siding is exempt from minimum thickness requirements provided its material integrity is intact. b. Metal siding must feature appropriate molding, trim, or hemming at all exposed edges and corners. c. Metal siding must be factory finished, or alternately purposefully designed to naturally patina. Highly reflective galvanized finished are prohibited. Re-purposed or re-claimed metal siding is permitted. Departures will be considered provided the material’s integration and overall façade composition meets the intent of the standards. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 432 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft The use of metal siding in each example above is secondary to masonry. The left and right images are more contemporary in character, whereas the middle image is more rustic and industrial, with more refined windows. Figure 38.530.060.C.2 Acceptable metal siding examples 3. Standards for the use of Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS). Such material/finishes may be used as a decorative accent cladding material if it is incorporated with other permitted materials and it complies with the following: a. On buildings of three or more stories or 5,000 square feet in footprint or greater EIFS is limited to no more than 20 25 percent of the total façade area and is not the primary cladding material. On buildings of two stories or less or less than 5,000 square feet in footprint, EIFS is limited to 60 percent of the total façade area.; b. EIFS must feature a smooth or sand finish Highly textured EIFS finishes are prohibited; c. EIFS must be trimmed in wood, masonry, or other material and must be sheltered from weather by roof overhangs or other methods EIFS must include an integrated joint or trim pattern; d. EIFS must not be used on the ground floor when facing a street, internal access road or pathway. Concrete, masonry, or other durable material must be used for ground level wall surfaces to provide a durable surface where damage is most likely. EIFS must not be used on the ground floor when directly adjacent to a sidewalk, pedestrian or vehicular pathway. Departures will be considered provided the material’s integration and overall façade composition meets the intent of the standards. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 433 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Note the use of brick and decorative concrete block on the ground level and EIFS on the second floor of the left image. The window treatments visible on the second floor add depth and interest to the façade. The right image employs EIFS between the window and sidewalk – this design is prohibited. Figure 38.530.060.C.3 Acceptable and unacceptable EIFS examples. 4. Cementitious wall board paneling/siding may be used provided it meets the following provisions: a. Cement board paneling/siding may not be used on the ground floor of non-residential or mixed-use buildings where adjacent to a sidewalk or other pedestrian path; b. Where cement board paneling/siding is the dominant siding material, the design must integrate a mix of colors and/or textures that are articulated consistent with windows, balconies, and modulated building surfaces and are balanced with façade details that add visual interest from the ground level and adjacent buildings. Departures will be considered provided the material’s integration and overall façade composition meets the intent of the standards. D. Departures to building materials standards will be considered if they are determined to meet the intent of 38.530.060 – Building Materials. Sec. 38.530.070. – Blank wall treatments. A. Intent. 1. To avoid untreated blank walls. 2. To retain and enhance the character of Bozeman’s streetscapes. B. Blank wall definition. A wall (including building façades and retaining walls) is considered a blank wall if it is over ten feet in height, has a horizontal length greater than 15 feet, and does not include a transparent window or door. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 434 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.530.070.B Blank wall definition C. Untreated blank walls visible from a public street, pedestrian-oriented space, common usable open space, or pedestrian pathway are prohibited. Methods to treat blank walls may include: 1. Display windows with at least 16 inches of depth to allow for changeable displays. Tack on display cases do not qualify as a blank wall treatment. 2. Landscape planting bed at least five feet wide or a raised planter bed at least two feet high and three feet wide in front of the wall with planting materials that are sufficient to obscure or screen at least 60 percent of the wall’s surface within three years. 3. Installing a vertical trellis in front of the wall with climbing vines or plant materials. 4. Installing a mural as approved by the review authority. 5. Special building detailing that adds visual interest at a pedestrian scale. Such detailing must use a variety of surfaces; monotonous designs will not meet the purpose of the standards. For large visible blank walls, a variety of treatments may be required to meet the intent of the standards. Departures to the provisions in this section will be considered, provided the design whole façade and applicable blank wall treatment methods meet the intent of the standards. Figure 38.530.070.C Acceptable and unacceptable blank wall treatments. Note in the far right example, the display cases don’t meet the 16” depth requirement, nor does the design meet the intent of the standards. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 435 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.540 Parking (Article 25) Sec. 38.540.010. - General provisions. (38.25.010) A. Parking is one part of the overall multimodal transportation system. Individual choice of travel mode and development characteristics influences the need for parking. The purpose of this division 38.540 in requiring parking spaces is to ensure provision of off-street motor vehicle parking, bicycle parking, and other transportation access facilities in rough proportion to the generalized parking and transportation demands of different land uses which locate at a site. Some sites, such as those that are located in close proximity to transit, have good access to pedestrian facilities or have off-set peak uses may require less on-site parking. The purpose of these standards is to provide functional parking areas adequate to the needs of users, create shaded areas within parking lots, reduce glare and heat build-up, reduce stormwater surges, provide visual relief within paved parking areas, emphasize circulation patterns, avoid the negative impacts associated with spillover parking into adjacent neighborhoods (, while at the same time avoiding the negative environmental and urban design impacts that can result from excessive parking lots and other vehicular use areas), and enhance the visual environment. The provisions of this division are also intended to help protect the public health, safety, and general welfare by: helping avoid and mitigate traffic congestion; encouraging multimodal transportation options and enhanced pedestrian safety; providing methods to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces in parking areas and adequate drainage structures in order to reduce the environmental impacts of stormwater runoff; encouraging paving or alternate means of surfacing of parking areas in order to address dust abatement and improve air quality; and providing flexible methods of responding to the transportation and access demands of various land uses in different areas of the city. In achieving these purposes this division interacts with the requirements of division 38.550 of this chapter. The design of off-street parking must primarily beis the responsibility of the developer and must consider traffic circulation, intended landscaping, pedestrian access and circulation, and other purposes of this chapter. 1. Floor area. a. The term "floor area," for the purpose of calculating the number of off-street parking spaces required, must means 85 percent of the gross floor area, as defined in section 38.700.070 of this chapter. However, at the election of the property owner, floor area must means the gross floor area, as defined in section 38.700.080 of this chapter, minus the following: (1) Window display areas; (2) Storage areas; (3) Areas used for incidental repair of equipment used or sold on the premises; (4) Areas occupied by toilets and restrooms, kitchens or break rooms; (5) Areas occupied by public utility facilities; (6) Areas occupied by dressing rooms, fitting or alteration rooms incidental to the sale of clothing; (7) Areas occupied by stairways and elevators; (8) Corridors connecting rooms or suites of rooms; and (9) Enclosed areas used for parking vehicles. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 436 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Such election must be made in writing to the community development director, must be signed and acknowledged by the owner, and must be filed with the community development director prior to the issuance of a building permit for such building. The owner must is also be responsible for certifying other information upon which parking requirements may be based, such as seats, and the number of employees on maximum working shift. b. Where applicable, the number of spaces required in section 38.540.050 will be the total of the spaces required for the component activities of certain uses, each calculated separately. 2. Change of use or occupancy of buildings. With any change of use or occupancy of any building or buildings an occupancy permit is required. When the change in use or occupancy requires more than a ten percent cumulative increase in parking over that required with the initial building construction, an occupancy permit must may not be issued until such additional parking spaces, in the amount required by this chapter, are provided for. 3. Improvement schedule. All parking area improvements to include surfacing, drainage, walkways, lighting, landscaping, screening, traffic control, etc., must be installed according to the provisions of division 38.270 of this chapter. 4. Stacking of off-street parking spaces. Required parking spaces must be located so as to preclude stacking of off-street parking spaces, with the exception of single- household dwellings and individual townhouse, rowhouse, and multi-householdcondominium units, and two unit structuresduplexes with physically separated individual drivewaysdrive aisles. Physical separation is provided when at least one of these options are providedemployed: individual garage doors for each interior parking space;, a vegetated planter not less than four feet in width between the parking spaces in the driveway area, or a wall not less than four feet in height and length, is provided between the parking area in the driveway and dividing divides the garage entrance. Generally, not more than two cars may be stacked. When stacking is allowed, not more than two vehicles may be stacked within an enclosed parking area. 5. No parking permitted in required front or side yardsetbacks.

Within structures. The off-street parking requirements may be furnished by providing spaces so designated within the principal building or accessory parking structure. However, no building permit must may be used to convert the parking structures into a dwelling unit or living area or other BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 439 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft activity until other adequate provisions are made to comply with the required off-street parking provisions of this chapter. C. Circulation between bays. Except in the case of one- to three-household dwellings and individual townhouse units, parking areas must be designed so that circulation between parking bays occurs within the designated parking lot and does not depend upon a public street or alley. Turning radii between bays and additional back-up length for dead end aisles must conform to requirements of the International Fire Code. D. Backing requirements. All required parking must have adequate back-up maneuverability as specified in Table 38.540.020. The aisle width calculation may incorporate the width of the public right-of- way. Except in the case of one- to four-household dwellings and individual townhouse-style units with individual garages, parking area design which requires backing into the public street is prohibited. With the exception of residential development, parking area design which requires backing into the public alley is prohibited. An exception to the prohibition to backing into the alley by nonresidential development may be granted by the review authority when function of the alley will not be impeded and when necessary due to local site conditions. E. Parallel parking spaces. Parallel parking spaces must be a minimum of 24 feet in length and seven feet in width measured from the inside edge of a curb or the inside edge of the asphalt if curbing is not present. Figure 38.540.020 C. Parallel parking layout F. Surfacing. Except for one-household development on individual lots, all areas intended to be utilized for permanent parking space and drivewaysdrive aisles must control dust and drainage. All proposed parking areas and driveway improvements must require a grading and drainage plan approved by the review authority. Areas must be paved with concrete or asphaltic concrete or approved pavers; or an alternative surfacing method such as pervious pavement may be used, subject to review and approval by the review authority. Surfacing methods which minimize stormwater runoff and provide for functional parking and circulation are encouraged. 1. However, paving must is not be required for permitted and conditional uses in the R-S zoning districts when all of the following circumstances exist: a. The use is required to provide fewer than 15 parking spaces and no loading spaces under the provisions of this section; b. The lot or tract on which the use is located is not adjacent to a paved street or road; and BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 440 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft c. The applicant must enter into an improvements agreement with the city agreeing that the lot must be paved within nine months of the time an adjacent roadway is paved. G. Striping. All parking stalls must be marked with white or yellow painted lines not less than four inches wide, except for one- to three-household dwellings and individual townhouse units. An exception to this requirement may be approved by the city when the striping would otherwise be applied to an area that does not have a permanent and durable wearing surface. H. Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area must comply with the lighting standards of division 38.570. I. Signs. No sign must shallmay be so located which that it restricts the sight lines and orderly operation and traffic movement within any parking area. All signs must conform to the requirements of division 38.560 of this chapter. J. Parking lot curbing. 1. All open off-street parking areas and drivewaysdrive aisles must have perimeter concrete curb around the entire parking lot, including driving access ways, except for individual townhouse units and one- to three-household dwellings. Continuous concrete curbing must be built according to standards provided by the review authority. Unless otherwise approved, the perimeter curb must be six-inch by six-inch concrete. 2. Concrete pindown wheel stops may be permitted as an alternative to continuous concrete curbing in front of parking spaces which front on the perimeter of the parking lot. However, continuous concrete curbing as described above must be provided in all situations where deemed necessary by the review authority to control drainage and soil erosion. 3. Alternative perimeter treatment may be permitted subject to the approval of the city engineer. 4. Requirements for perimeter curbing must do not preclude opportunities for shared access between adjacent parking lots. K. Protruding vehicles. All on-site parking stalls which abut property lines must be designed and constructed such that parked vehicles must do not protrude over property lines. L. Pedestrian facilities in parking lots. Concrete sidewalks a minimum of three feet in width must be provided between any existing or proposed building and adjacent parking lot. Where sidewalk curbs serve as wheel stops, an additional two feet of sidewalk width is required. Figure 38.540.020 D. Curb stops. M. Snow removal storage areas. Snow removal storage areas must be provided sufficient to store snow accumulation on site. Such areas must may not cause unsafe ingress/egress to the parking areas, BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 441 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft must may not cause snow to be deposited on public rights-of-way, must may not include areas provided for required parking access and spaces, and must may not be placed in such a manner as to damage landscaping. All snow removal storage areas must be located and designed such that the resultant stormwater runoff is directed into landscaped retention/detention and water quality improvement facilities as required by the engineering department, or in compliance with the storm drainage provisions of chapter 40 article 4, and/or best practices manual. N. Parking and stacking for drive-in/drive-through facilities. Required parking and stacking spaces for waiting automobiles must provide a minimum of two stalls and six spaces for stacking per lane unless a traffic summary shows that fewer spaces may be required. These spaces must may not in any manner inhibit on-site or off-site vehicular circulation. O. Ownership/leasehold. Required parking lots must be owned or leased by the owner or lessee of the building or use being served by such parking. Such parking lots must be maintained as a parking lot so long as the building and/or use served is in operation or until another approved parking area is established for such building or use. P. Stormwater drainage. Stormwater drainage from parking lots must be directed into landscaped detention/retention facilities and water quality improvement facilities as required by the engineering department, or in compliance with the storm drainage provisions of chapter 40 article 4, and/or best practices manual adopted by the city. Q. Mechanical automobile lifts. Mechanical automobile lifts may be used to meet required parking when the mechanical automobile lift design allows for access to a specific car on demand. Parking spaces within the lift may be counted towards the required parking requirement. The mechanical automobile lift must be fully enclosed in a structure. Sec. 38.540.030. - Structured parking facility development standards. (38.25.025) A. All above ground structured parking facilities, regardless of location within the city, must conform to chapters 1 through 4 of the design objectives plan established pursuant to division 38.340 of this chapter. .In the event of a conflict between the design objectives plan and the standards of this section, the standards of this section must will govern. Exceptions: 1. Single-household dwellings and individual townhouse and multi-householdcondominium units with physically separated individual drivewaysdrive aisles. Physical separation is provided when at least one of these options are provided: Individual garage doors for each interior parking space;, a vegetated planter not less than four feet in width between the parking spaces in the driveway area;, or a wall not less than four feet in height and length, is provided between the parking area in the driveway and dividing the garage entrance; and 2. For development in the R-5 and B-2M districts, the applicable structured parking provisions in division 38.500 (Block Frontage Standards) must take precedence over any conflicting provisions of division 38.340 or related standards in this section. B. Building standards. 1. Intent: To promote an active and diverse streetscape, parking structures should be located behind buildings in the interior of blocks or below grade. Parking garages that front streets should must line the parking garage at the street level with an active use. a. Street designs accommodate on street parking and pedestrian mobility. Parking lots and garages rarely front the streets, and are typically relegated to the rear of the lot and the center of blocks. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 442 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft b. Parking garages should be located in the interior of blocks. Parking garages that front onto streets must provide a lining of retail, office, or residential use at the street level along the entire street frontage. Parking garages that provide this lining of retail, office, or residential use at the street level are classified as mixed-use buildings. 2. In all districts, all commercial floor space wrapping a parking structure on the ground floor must have a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 12 13 feet. 3. Structured parking facilities must provide transparency along at least 50 percent of the linear length of the building's façade. This may be achieved with windows, displays, building lobbies, building entrances, display windows, or windows affording views into retail, office, or lobby spaces. This requirement must apply applies to both frontages of a building located on a corner lot. a. The bottom edge of any window or product display window used to satisfy the transparency standard of this subsection B.3 may not be more than four feet above the adjacent sidewalk. b. Product display windows used to satisfy these requirements must have a minimum height of four feet and be internally lighted. 4. Street-level openings on parking structures must be limited to those necessary for retail store entrances, vehicle entrance and exit lanes, and pedestrian entrances to stairs and elevator lobbies. Parking structures adjacent to streets must have architectural detailing such as, but not limited to, standard size masonry units such as brick, divided openings to give the appearance of windows, and other techniques to provide an interesting and human-scaled appearance on the story adjacent to the sidewalk. 5. Buildings must be articulated with modules, architectural detailing, individual floors visually expressed in the façade, and rhythm and pattern of openings and surfaces must be human-scale. 6. Buildings must be oriented to the adjacent public or private street. Sec. 38.540.040. - Maintenance of parking areas. (38.25.030) A. It must beis the joint and separate responsibility of the lessee and owner of the principal use, uses or building to maintain in a neat and adequate manner, the parking space, accessways, striping, landscaping and required fences or screening. 1. Use of required parking areas for parking only. Required off-street parking spaces in any district must may not be utilized for open storage, sale or rental of goods, or storage of inoperable vehicles, except when permitted as a temporary use. 2. Parking spaces identified and maintained. All residential occupancies must provide required off- street parking spaces. When enclosing a carport or garage for storage or living purposes, an affidavit must be submitted to the community development director identifying the required parking spaces necessary to comply with section 38.540.050. Sec. 38.540.050. - Number of parking spaces required. (38.25.040) A. The following minimum number of off-street, paved parking spaces for motor vehicles and bicycles must be provided and maintained by ownership, easement and/or lease for and during the life of the respective uses hereinafter set forth. When calculation of the required parking results in a fraction of a parking space being required, the fractional space is not required to be provided. 1. Residential uses. a. Minimum requirements. The number of spaces shown in Table 38.540.050-1 must be provided subject to the adjustments allowed in this subsection 1. The number of disabled parking stalls as required by Table 38.540.050-6 may be provided from the minimum number BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 443 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft of required parking stalls. All site plans submitted for permit purposes must identify parking space allocations. Fees may be charged by the landowner for the use of required parking spaces. (1) One parking space for each 24 uninterrupted linear feet of available street frontage usable for on-street parking directly adjacent to a lot may be deducted from the total parking spaces required for a development. The number of on-street spaces calculated must may not exceed the number of dwellings on the lot. The width of drive accesses, designated non-parking areas, vision triangles, and similar circumstances must may not be considered to be available for the purpose of on-street parking space. _____ Table 38.540.050-1 Dwelling Types Parking Spaces Required per Dwelling Accessory dwelling unit 1 Lodginghouse 0.75 spaces per person of approved capacity Efficiency unit 1.25 (1.0 in R-5) One-bedroom 1.5 (1.25 in R-5) Two-bedroom 2 (1.75 in R-5) Three-bedroom 3 (2.5 in R-5) Dwellings with more than three bedrooms 4 (3 in R-5) Group homes and community residential facilities 0.75 spaces per person of approved capacity1 Bed and breakfast 1 space/rental unit Manufactured home 2 All types of dwellings within the B-3 district 1 Group living /cooperative household/fraternity/sorority 1 space per resident1 1A facility may request to provide fewer parking spaces if they applicant provides evidence that some or all the residents are prohibited from operating motor vehicles. Under no condition must may less than two parking spaces be provided. If the use of the facility is altered to serve a different population who may operate motor vehicles, then the additional required parking must be provided before the change in use may occur. b. Adjustments to minimum requirements. (1) Affordable housing. When calculating the amount of required parking for affordable housing, as defined in section 38.700.020 of this chapter, if the project is guaranteed for use as affordable housing for a minimum period of 20 years and the use as affordable housing is subject to long term monitoring to ensure compliance and continued use as affordable housing, rRequired parking spaces must be calculated based on number of bedrooms outlined in Table 38.540.050-1, but must may not exceed two spaces per unit. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 444 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft (2) Residential uses in mixed-use projects. In order to utilize this section, the long term availability of the nonresidential parking spaces upon which the use of this section was based must be ensured to the residents of the project. For the purpose of this section a building is considered mixed-use if the nonresidential portion of the building is at least one-quarter of the gross square feet not used for parking. Residences in mixed-use buildings may count on-street parking per subsection 1.a.(1) of this section even if the area is subject to occupancy time limits. The use of this section does not preclude the use of other sections of this chapter which may have the effect of reducing the required amount of parking. When calculating the amount of required parking for residential uses within a mixed-use project the amount of parking may be reduced subject to Table 38.540.050-2. Table 38.540.050-2 Reduction Allowed Ratio of Required Nonresidential to Required Residential Parking Spaces 50% Greater than 1:1 but less than 3:1 100% Equal to or greater than 3:1 (3) A car-sharing agreement meeting the criteria established by the community development director may be used to meet the required number of parking spaces. To use this option the development must have more than five dwelling units. Each vehicle provided through a car sharing agreement counts as required parking at a ratio of one dedicated car-share space to five standard spaces, up to a maximum of 50 percent of the total required residential parking. (4) Transit availability. A residential development subject to site plan review may take a ten percent reduction in required parking spaces where the development is within 800 feet of a developed and serviced transit stop. For the purpose of this subsection a transit stop is eligible when it has a shelter installed which meets the standards of and is approved by the transit provider, and service is provided on not less than an hourly schedule a minimum of five days per week. 2. Nonresidential uses. a. Minimum requirements. The number of spaces shown in Table 38.540.050-3 must be provided subject to the adjustments allowed by this division 38.5450. Spaces are not required to be provided free to the user. The required number of disabled parking stalls required by the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) must may be provided from the minimum number of required parking stalls. Table 38.540.050-6 presents the most common requirement for accessible spaces. Accessible spaces count towards satisfying minimum parking requirements. All site plans submitted for permit purposes must identify parking space allocations. When a use is not included in Table 38.540.050-2, the review authority must will determine the appropriate classification for the purpose of required parking. b. Maximum parking. Provision of parking spaces in excess of 125 percent of the minimum number of spaces required for the net floor area in this subsection 2 is not permitted.

Restaurants, cafes, bars and similar uses 1 space per 50 square feet of indoor public serving area; plus 1 space per 100 square feet of outdoor (patio) area Retail store and service establishments 1 space per 300 square feet of floor area Sales sites; model homes 1 space per 250 square feet of model floor areas; plus 1 space per employee Schools Elementary and/or junior high 1.5 spaces for each classroom, library, lecture hall and cafeteria; plus 1 space for each 3 fixed seats in the area of public assembly, or 1 space for each 25 square feet of area available for public assembly if fixed seats are not provided Senior high 1.5 spaces for each classroom or lecture hall; plus 1 space per each 5 students; plus 1 space for each nonteaching employee; plus 1 space per each 3 fixed seats in the area of public assembly, or 1 space per 25 square feet of area available for public assembly if fixed seats are not provided Business or similar school 1 space for each 1.5 students Theater, auditorium or similar 1 space per 4 seats based upon place of assembly design capacity Warehousing, storage or handling of bulk goods 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area devoted to storage of goods; plus appropriate spaces to support accessory office or retail sales facilities at 1 space per 350 square feet of floor area c. Adjustments to minimum requirements. To implement the city's adopted growth policy, adjustment of parking requirements within certain areas of the city is desired. Use of this section must may not be considered as joint use of parking or off-site parking regulated by sections 38.540.060 and 38.540.070, nor must does the use of this section preclude the use of other sections of this chapter which may have the effect of reducing the required amount of on-site parking. More than one adjustment may apply. Multiple adjustments are added together to modify the minimum required parking from Table 38.540.050-3 in a single operation. Multiple adjustments are not applied sequentially. (1) Neighborhood commercial. Within the B-1 and R-O zoning districts implementing a small scale Community Commercial Mixed Use growth policy designation or the B-3 zoning district, the parking requirements for nonresidential uses may be reduced. Table 38.540.050-4 Use Allowable Reduction Retail 40 percent Restaurant 50 percent Office 20 percent BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 447 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft All others 30 percent (2) Community commercial and residential emphasis mixed use. Within zoning districts lying within a commercial node, as defined in section 38.700.040 of this chapter, and the REMU district the parking requirements for nonresidential uses may be reduced. Table 38.540.050-5 Use Allowable Reduction Retail 20 percent Restaurant 30 percent Office 10 percent All others 10 percent (3) Transit availability. Required parking may be reduced by ten percent in circumstances where the development is within 800 feet of a developed and serviced transit stop. For the purpose of this subsection a transit stop is eligible when it has publicly available cover from weather approved by the transit provider to be equivalent to a transit shelter, and service is provided on not less than an hourly schedule a minimum of five days per week. (4) Structured parking. An additional 15 percent reduction may be taken when the site is within 800 feet of a parking structure of at least 200 spaces, which is available to the general public, and for which a fee for parking is charged. (5) The first 3,000 gross square feet of a nonresidential building within the B-3 district or adjacent to designated Storefront block frontage per section 38.500.010 is not included in the calculation of required parking. (6) Property owners’ have the option of requesting the reduction of up to ten percent of the required parking spaces for nonresidential uses if: a. In addition to the minimum otherwise required by this chapter, two covered bicycle parking spaces are provided for each automobile space not provided; and b. For each ten or fraction of ten automobile parking stalls reduced, a nonresidential shower, changing area, and five clothing lockers are provided on-site. 3. Exceptions to these parking requirements. Because some situations (i.e., existing lots which have no landscaping, irregular lots, lots with topographic difficulties, etc.) would benefit from an alternative to the required maximum parking areas; because the community's appearance could benefit from additional landscaping, streetscaping and sculptural elements; and because parking exceptions and/or landscaping would encourage development within existing city boundaries; the following alternatives may be permitted. These alternatives may be proposed by the developer for review by the ADR staff. Such proposals may be approved based on a determination that such alternatives meet the following requirements and will not create a congested on-street parking situation in the vicinity of the proposal:. a. Landscaping in lieu of parking. Except in the B-3 district, property owners’ have the option of requesting the deletion of up to five required spaces or ten percent of the required parking BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 448 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft spaces, whichever is less, if 350 square feet of landscaping, trees or streetscaping is installed on the property for each space so deleted. This must does not decrease the amount of landscaping that would have been required with full parking, but must beis in addition to such landscaping. This option must be approved by the ADR staff. These improvements must be placed in the public right-of-way or yardsetbacks directly facing the right-of-way. b. Cash-in-lieu modifications to parking requirements in B-3 district. Where all or part of the required parking spaces can not be provided for a proposed use in the B-3 District, either through ownership or lease of the necessary land, the petitioner may satisfy the parking requirements by providing an equivalent cash-in-lieu payment according to the following provisions: (1) No building permit must be issued, nor must any use of property be initiated, unless a satisfactory cash-in-lieu payment is received by the department of administrative services; (2) The parking commission must review and consider all requests for cash-in-lieu payments and furnish a written and dated certificate, signed by the parking commission chair, authorizing cash-in-lieu payments. A copy of this certificate must be presented to the chief building official and community development director before a building permit is issued or the use instituted; (3) For each required parking space not provided, payment must be made to the city administrative services department as specified by standard payment requirements established by the parking commission; (4) All real property assessed by special improvement district (SID) No. 565, or other similarly adopted improvement districts designed to provide additional parking spaces within the B-3 district, must will not be required to provide additional parking spaces beyond those required at the time of the SID adoption, provided the use of the real property and improvements remains unchanged from the initial assessments of SID No. 565, or other similarly adopted improvement districts; (a) In the event that a new use or an expansion is initiated on any portion of real property or improvements are made subsequent to the assessments for SID No. 565 or other similarly adopted improvement districts, then parking space requirements must be satisfied prior to initiation of those new or expanded uses. 4. Disabled accessible parking spaces. a. Disabled parking spaces must be provided subject to federal standards enumerated in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) dated January 26, 1992, and Federal Standard 795, (Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards) dated April 1, 1988, chapter 4 (Accessible Elements and Spaces: Scope and Technical Requirements). Each disabled parking space must also be accompanied by a sign stating "Permit Required $100.00 Fine." See Figure 38.540.050.D. b. All parking lots and facilities must be subject to current International Building Code guidelines for accessibility, and must contain a minimum number of disabled accessible parking spaces as set forth in the ADAAG. Table 38.540.050-6 addresses the majority of circumstances: Table 38.540.050-6 BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 449 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Total Parking in Lot Required Minimum Number of Accessible Spaces Total Parking in Lot Required Minimum Number of Accessible Spaces 1 to 25 1 201 to 300 7 26 to 50 2 301 to 400 8 51 to 75 3 401 to 500 9 76 to 100 4 501 to 1000 2 percent of total 101 to 150 5 1001 and over 20 plus 1 for each 100 over 1000 151 to 200 6 (1) The first accessible parking stall provided, and one in every eight accessible spaces provided thereafter, must have an aisle eight feet wide (rather than five feet) and must be signed "van accessible." (2) Accessible spaces must be located as near as practical to a primary entrance and must be designated as those spaces closest to the primary accessible entrance to a facility. Parking spaces and access aisles must be level with slopes not exceeding 1:50 in all directions and must be maintained in an ice- and snow-free condition. c.

The process of development, with its alteration of the natural topography and vegetation, and creation of impervious cover can have a negative effect on the ecological balance of an area by causing or accelerating the processes of runoff, erosion and sedimentation. The economic base of the city can and should be protected through the preservation and enhancement of the area's unique natural beauty and environment. Recognizing that the general objectives of this division are to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, these landscaping regulations are adopted as part of this chapter for the following specific purposes: 1. To aid in stabilizing the environment's ecological balance by contributing to the process of air purification, oxygen regeneration, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff retardation, and improvement of water quality, while at the same time aiding in noise, glare and heat abatement; 2. To provide visual buffering between land uses of differing character by placing screening vegetation; 3. To enhance the beauty of the city by expanding and strengthening the urban forest and providing a diversity of vegetation within the city; 4. To protect the character and stability of residential, business, institutional and industrial areas by establishing minimum landscaping standards; 5. To preserve the value of land and buildings by protecting and enhancing the aesthetic character of the community; 6. To conserve energy by providing windbreaks, shade and temperature moderation; 7. To retard the spread of noxious weeds by encouraging a vigorous desirable plant community within the city; 8. To enhance the appearance of the entryways into the city by providing high-quality landscaping which complements architecture; 9. To encourage a pleasant and safe environment for pedestrians by placement of boulevard trees and other interesting visual features; and 10. To encourage the conservation of water by rewarding the use of low water demand landscaping. Sec. 38.550.020. - Interpretation and scope. (38.26.020) A.

The screening required under subsections D.1 and 2 of this section must be at least six feet in height. E. Street frontage landscaping required. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 460 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 1. Except in R-S districts, all street rights-of-way contiguous to or within the proposed development site not used for street pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks or drivewaysdrive aisles must be landscaped, as defined in this chapter, and must include one large canopy tree for each 50 feet of total street frontage rounded to the nearest whole number. When this requirement conflicts with other requirements of this chapter or other portion of this Code the review authority may relax this standard to reach an optimal balance in public interests. a. Acceptable large canopy shade trees for use in public rights-of-way are those accepted by the forestry department. Street trees must meet the arboricultural specifications and standards of chapter 16, article V, division 3. The forestry department, in cooperation with the city tree advisory board, publishes a pamphlet listing acceptable species and proper planting methods. Prior to planting street trees, a permit from the forestry department is required. 2. Where it may be impractical or difficult to plant large canopy trees within the public right-of- way (due to the presence of overhead power lines, for instance) the requirement for one large canopy tree for each 50 feet of street frontage may be substituted with two small ornamental trees per 50 feet of total street frontage. Acceptable small ornamental trees for use in public rights-of-way are those accepted by the forestry department. 3. The minimum quantity of trees and other landscaping required and provided in the public right- of-way as described herein must be designed to complement on-site landscaping and to enhance the proposed development project and the streetscape. F. Street median island landscaping. All street median islands approved through a plan review process must be landscaped according to requirements determined through the plan review process. G. Acceptable landscape materials. 1. Generally aAcceptable plant materials must beare those identified as hardy in Zones 1 through 4. The characteristics of the zones are described in The Western Garden Book, Sunset Publishing Corporation, 1995as amended. Alternatives may be considered upon a case-by-case basis. However, in the case of street frontage landscaping as required in subsection E of this section, acceptable tree species must beare limited to those approved by the city forestry division. 2. No artificial plant materials may be used to satisfy the requirements of this division 38.550. 3.

Small canopy and non-canopy trees must have either: (1) For deciduous trees a minimum caliper of one inch; or (2) For evergreen trees a minimum height of six feet. c. All other non-turf plantings must meet American Nursery and Landscape Association standards. 4. For purposes of subsection G.3 of this section, height is measured from the top of the root ball or, if the plant is in a container, from the top soil level in the container. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 461 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Figure 38.550.050 Dimensions of acceptable landscape materials. H. Protection of landscape areas. 1. Perimeter parking lot treatment as required in section 38.540.020.J must be installed to protect landscape areas adjacent to parking lots. 2. Landscaped areas within parking lots (i.e., landscape islands or peninsulas) must be protected from vehicular traffic through the use of continuous concrete curbs, or other permanent barriers approved by the review authority. Railroad ties, rolled asphalt, pin down wheel stops or similar methods of curbing are not acceptable methods of landscape protection within parking lots. I. Irrigation standards. 1. Permanent irrigation systems must be provided to all landscaped areas. The use of hose bibs on the exterior of existing or proposed structures is not an acceptable method of landscape irrigation unless the landscaped area is adjacent to the existing or proposed structure. 2. All irrigation systems and landscaped areas must be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to promote water conservation and prevent water overflow or seepage into the street, sidewalk or parking areas. J. Required use of trees. All landscape plans must include, for each yardsetback with a residential adjacency, at least one of the performance standards in section 38.550.060.B that requires the use of one or more trees. K. Coordination with utilities. In order to prevent damage to both vegetation and public utility lines, all trees and other large vegetation must bemay planted no closer than the minimum distance specified in the city design standards and specifications policy. L. Maximum allowable slope or grade. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 462 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 1. The finish grade of all landscaped areas, including, but not limited to, required yardsetbacks, parking lot landscape islands, open space areas, plaza areas, watercourse corridors, landscaped areas adjacent to sidewalks, public trials trails or pathways, and any stormwater facilities proposed in required yardsetbacks, dedicated parkland, or open space areas must may not exceed a slope of 25 percent grade (four run to one rise). 2. The slope percent is computed by dividing the vertical distance by the horizontal distance multiplied by 100. The degree of slope is equal to the tangent of vertical distance over horizontal distance (refer to Figure 38.550.050). 3. The review authority may vary the maximum allowable slope of 25 percent grade to protect existing topographical or natural features (i.e., watercourse, wetlands, mature vegetation) associated with a site. Alternatives to enable exceeding the maximum allowable slope of 25 percent may include terracing, retaining walls, architectural appurtenances, landscape features, or a combination thereof that will achieve a greater design quality and enhanced landscape features. 4. All landscaped areas to be finished in grass that exceed a maximum allowable slope of 25 percent grade must be installed as turf sod, or hydro-seed. If hydro-seed is utilized, additional erosion control fabric (i.e., matting or blanket), or equivalent thereof) must be provided to ensure a stable slope for a minimum of one calendar year while the vegetation becomes established. Sec. 38.550.060. - Landscape performance standards. (38.26.060) A. In addition to complying with the mandatory landscape provisions in section 38.550.050, all landscape plans must earn a minimum number of points as specified in this section.

This division 38.600 provides standards which must be met in order to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood hazards, and to promote wise use of the floodplain when those limited circumstances occur. This division 38.600 has been established with the following purposes: 1. To guide development of the 100-year floodplain within the city limits consistent with the enumerated findings by: a. Establishing zoning regulations coincident with and applicable to those areas at risk of flooding with special requirements and regulations to protect the public welfare; b. Recognizing the right and need of watercourses to periodically carry more than the normal flow of water; c. Participating in coordinated efforts of federal, state and local management activities for 100- year floodplains; d. Ensuring the regulations and minimum standards adopted, insofar as possible, balance the greatest public good with the least private injury; and e. Carrying out the provisions of this division 38.600 in a fashion consistent with the remainder of this chapter and the public policies set forth in the city's growth policy consistent with the authority of title 76, chapter 5, part 3 (MCA 76-5-301 et seq.). 2. Specifically, it is the purpose of this division 38.600 to: a. Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety and property in times of flood, or that cause increased flood heights and velocities; BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 489 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft b. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities, be provided with flood protection at the time of initial construction; c. Identify lands unsuitable for certain development purposes because of flood hazards; d. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding undertaken at the expense of the general public; e. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is within a 100-year floodplain and subject to the provisions of these regulations; f. Ensure that those who occupy 100-year floodplains assume responsibility for their actions; and g. Protect water quality and persons and property located downstream. Sec. 38.600.030. - Jurisdictional area. (38.31.030) This division 38.600 must apply applies to all lands within the boundaries of the city, shown on the official floodplain maps, including any amendments or revisions, as being located within a 100-year floodplain district or that may otherwise be identified as lying within a 100-year floodplain through additional floodplain delineation, engineering analysis, topographic survey, or other objective and factual basis. Sec. 38.600.040. - Floodplain regulation establishment and applicability. (38.31.040) These floodplain regulations are hereby established and are applicable in all areas defined by the base flood elevations and 100-year floodplains as delineated in the flood insurance study, or other means specified in section 38.600.030. The basis for the flood insurance study is a scientific and engineering report entitled the "Flood Insurance Study of Gallatin County, Montana, and Incorporated Areas," dated September 2, 2011 (FEMA FIS No. 30031CV000A), with accompanying flood insurance rate maps and flood boundary/floodway maps. The official floodplain maps, together with the flood insurance study are on file in the office of the city floodplain administrator. The floodplain regulations are hereby established in all areas subject to flooding. Depiction on the official zoning map of the city is not required for this district. Sec. 38.600.050. - Abrogation and greater responsibility. (38.31.050) It is not intended by this division 38.600 to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, deed restrictions, or underlying zoning.

Sec. 38.600.100. - Rules for interpretation of floodplain district boundaries. (38.31.100) The boundaries of the 100-year floodway must be determined by scaling distances on the official floodplain maps and using the floodway data table contained in the flood insurance study report. The maps may be used as a guide for determining the 100-year floodplain boundary, but the exact location of the floodplain boundary must be determined where the base flood elevation intersects the natural ground. The floodplain administrator may require an on-site survey and staking of the floodplain boundary prior to issuance of any permit or any development undertaken following issuance of a permit. Sec. 38.600.110. - Warning and disclaimer of liability. (38.31.110) This division 38.600 does not imply that areas outside the delineated floodplain boundaries or permitted land uses will always be totally free from flooding or flood damages. These regulations must do not create a liability or cause of action against the city or any officer or employee thereof for flood damages that may result from reliance upon these regulations. Sec. 38.600.120. - Disclosure provision.

BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 504 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft 38.610 Wetland Regulations (Article 30) Sec. 38.610.010. - Title and applicability. (38.30.010) These regulations must beare known as the city wetland regulations and may be cited as the wetlands regulations. These wetland regulations must govern areas in compliance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual of the U.S. (1987 Corps Manual), or the most current wetland delineation manual sanctioned by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE)-Omaha District. This manual provides specific guidelines and methods to identify whether an area is a wetland and to determine the boundary between wetlands and uplands. The city's wetland regulations will pertain to wetlands with a direct hydrologic connection to "waters of the U.S." (those wetlands that connect to a federally- regulated stream or river directly or via a series or watercourse, wetlands or ditches), and also to isolated wetlands with no direct connection to a water of the U.S. and exhibit positive wetland indicators for all three wetland parameters. The provisions contained in these regulations do not apply to wetlands created by a wholly manmade water source used for irrigation purposes or stormwater control. Sec. 38.610.020. - Intent and purpose. (38.30.020) A. Wetlands perform many important ecological functions. It is the intent and purpose of this division 38.610 to protect, preserve and enhance wetlands to provide the following functions: 1. Aquifer recharge; 2. Water storage; 3. Regional stream hydrology (discharge and recharge); 4. Flood control and storage; 5. Sediment control (filter for waste); 6. Nutrient removal from urban runoff; and 7. Erosion control. B. Wetlands provide important values that enhance the quality of life of community residents. It is the intent of this division 38.610 to protect, preserve and enhance wetlands to provide the following values: 1. Habitat for fish, wildlife and plants (including endangered and threatened); 2. Recreation; 3. Open space; 4. Visual and aesthetic; 5. Education and research; and 6. Historical, cultural and archaeological resources. C. Wetlands can present significant constraints to development. Wetlands typically form in areas characterized by poor drainage conditions which are ill-suited for most types of development. Development in these areas often involves extra expense resulting from considerations for site drainage, flood protection and facility maintenance. In addition, wetlands are characterized by hydric soils that are unstable for most types of development. Hydric soils tend to compress under the weight of structures and decompose when drained. Therefore, costs of development may be greater due to complex engineering design requirements, or the need to excavate and replace the soils. It is the intent of these regulations to protect public and private facilities and structures from damage, and to minimize public and private development and maintenance costs. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 505 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft D. It is not the intent of this division 38.610 to prohibit all activities within regulated areas and associated buffers, but rather to encourage the avoidance of regulated activities within the regulated areas and to require best management practices in regulated areas. E. Nothing in this division 38.610 must will be construed to prevent irrigation companies from diverting and carrying water under historic water rights or owners of such rights from exercising those historic rights. F. Nothing in this division 38.610 must will be construed to prevent compliance with applicable state or federal statutes and regulations. Sec. 38.610.030. - Application of wetland regulations. (38.30.030) A. These regulations must apply to any regulated activity which may impact wetlands as defined in section 38.700 known prior to or discovered through the development review process, and verified through a site-specific wetlands boundary determination. When any regulated activity is proposed a wetlands boundary determination must be conducted. If the determination finds that there are no wetlands present on the subject tract, these regulations must do not apply. If, however, wetlands are found on the subject tract the proposal must beis subject to these regulations. The provisions of this division 38.610 must will be applied in addition to any other applicable regulations of this chapter. 1. The wetlands boundary determination must be prepared in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual of the U.S. (1987 Corps Manual), or the most current wetland delineation manual sanctioned by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE)- Omaha District by a qualified wetland professional. 2. A qualified wetland professional is an individual with a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a water resource related field, five years experience, and/or a professional wetland scientist certification. B. Isolated wetlands with a size of less than 400 square feet, regardless of property boundaries, are exempt from this division 38.610 unless the wetland provides habitat for the following species: 1. Plant, animal or other wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; and/or 2. Plant, animal or other wildlife species listed as a species of concern, species of potential concern, or species on review by the state department of fish, wildlife and parks and the state natural heritage program. C. Any development for which the watercourse setback requirements of section 38.410.100 are provided is considered to have addressed the concerns of this division 38.610 and is exempt from this article. D. This article division 38.610 is not intended to repeal, abrogate, supersede or impair any existing federal, state, or local law, easement, covenant or deed restriction. However, if this article division imposes greater or more stringent restrictions, the provisions of this article division must prevail. Specifically, if a regulated activity pursuant to this article division also requires authorization under section 404 of the Clean Water Act from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the applicant must meet any greater or more stringent restrictions set forth in this article division in addition to and independent of the restrictions of such permit. Sec. 38.610.040. - Wetlands review board powers and duties. (38.30.040) A. If established, the WRB must havehas the powers and duties established in 2.05.2900.

(38.42.2980) Any street which has been dedicated to the public or is otherwise publicly owned. Any street not a public street must beis deemed a private street. Street types. (38.42.2990) For the purposes of these regulations, street types are defined as follows: 1. Alley. A street used primarily for vehicular access to the rear of properties which abut and are served by public or private streets. 2. Arterial. A street or road having the primary function of moving traffic with emphasis on a high level of mobility for through movement and the secondary function of providing limited access to adjacent land. Arterial streets are generally designated in the city transportation plan, however, streets not depicted in the city transportation plan may be designated as arterials by the review authority specified in section 38.200.010. a. Principal arterial. Serves the major centers of activity, the highest traffic volume corridors, and the longest trip distances in an urbanized area. This group of streets carries the highest proportion of the total traffic within the urban area with typical loads of 10,000 to 35,000 vehicles per day. Most of the vehicles entering and leaving the urban area, as well as most through traffic bypassing the central business district, utilize principal arterials. Significant intra-area travel, such as between central business districts and outlying residential areas, and between major suburban centers, are served by major arterials. b. Minor arterial. Interconnects with and augments the urban principal arterial system. It accommodates trips of moderate length and at a somewhat lower level of travel mobility than principal arterials, and it distributes travel to smaller geographic areas. With an emphasis on traffic mobility, this street network includes all arterials not classified as principal arterials while providing access to adjacent lands. Minor arterials typically carry 5,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day. 3. Collector. A street or road that provides equal priority to the movement of traffic, and to the access of residential, business and industrial areas. This type of roadway differs from those of the arterial system in that the facilities on the collector system may traverse residential neighborhoods. The system distributes trips from the arterials to ultimate destinations. The collector streets also collect traffic from local streets in the residential neighborhoods, channeling it into the arterial system. Collectors typically carry 2,000 to 10,000 vehicles per day. BOZEMAN UDC RE-ORGANIZATION - DRAFT Page 545 December 20, 2017 UDC update 7-28-2017 draft Collector streets are typically designated in the city transportation plan, however, additional streets may be designated as collectors by the review authority specified in section 38.200.010. 4. Cul-de-sac. A street having only one outlet for vehicular traffic and terminating in a turnaround area. 5. Dead-end street. A street having only one outlet for vehicular traffic. 6. Half-street. A portion of the width of a street, usually along the outside perimeter of a subdivision, where the remaining portion of the street must be located on adjacent property. 7. Local streets. A street having the primary purpose of permitting access to abutting lands and connections to higher systems. Generally, service to higher speed traffic movements are intentionally discouraged. They typically carry 1,000 to 3,000 vehicles per day but can carry in excess of 6,000. 8. Loop. A local street which begins and ends on the same street, generally used for access to properties and to control traffic access to arterials or collectors. Structure.
