THE NORTHEASTERN NEIGHBORHOOD IS HOST TO A DIVERSE, ACTIVE SET OF
RESIDENTS, HEAVILY INVESTED IN PRESERVING THEIR COMMUNITY’S UNIQUE
IDENTITY, AND INTENT ON ENGAGING WITH PROJECTS AS THEY DEVELOP IN THE
AREA.
IN APRIL, 2017 THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOSTED A REGIONAL AND URBAN DESIGN
ASSISTANCE TEAM (R/UDAT) WORKSHOP TO GATHER COMMUNITY INPUT
ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTHEASTERN NEIGHBORHOOD. THE
TEAM’S REPORT PROVIDED A GREAT DEAL OF GUIDANCE AS WE ESTABLISHED
THE PROJECT GOALS, DEVELOPED A SITE STRATEGY, AND FORMULATED THE
RELATIONSHIPS TO THE STREETS AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
FROM THE R/UDAT REPORT
CHARACTER: “The community told the team that the neighborhood is “funky.” The neighborhood’s character is authentic and unique in the context of Bozeman. It is a real place. The community also put intense value on the eclectic identity of the area and its mix of uses – a quality that is embraced and celebrated. The Northeast Neighborhood is also made up of creative and artistic people who value its diversity and freedom of self-expression. The neighborhood was widely described as livable, both for its adjacency to downtown and the quality of life it provides to the people who work and live here.”
STREETS: “one of the most widely shared ideas on future improvements concerned the need to better connect existing assets throughout the neighborhood and make its streets more friendly to pedestrians and bicyclists.”
DIVERSITY & AFFORDABILITY: “two manifold interests emerged as important. The first is the preservation and strengthening of the unique sense of place in the neighborhood and its contributing components. The second characteristic is the accessible and affordable housing proposition that has traditionally prevailed in the neighborhood, and the value that affordability has in producing a diverse neighborhood that can support creative professionals and working families.”

SITE CONDITIONS
THE BLOCKS TO THE EAST AND WEST OF THE SITE ARE PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHILE THE BLOCKS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH CONSIST OF LARGER-SCALE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, AS WELL AS SMALL MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE SITE IS THE HISTORIC MISCO MILL (NOW HOUSING A HIGH-END FURNITURE MAKER) AND SMALL COLLECTION OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS - CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A POTTERY STUDIO.
THE EAST ASPEN ST. RIGHT OF WAY - TO THE NORTH OF THE SITE - IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO TRAFFIC, AND PROVIDES AN OPEN GREEN SPACE WITH BENCHES AND A WALKING TRAIL. THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AROUND THE STREET EDGES OF THE SITE, BUT THERE ARE POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ACROSS COTTONWOOD STREET TO THE NEARBY CAFE AND BAKERY. DOWNTOWN IS 3/4 OF A MILE SOUTH AS WELL, PROVIDING RELATIVELY DIRECT PEDESTRIAN AND BIKING CONNECTIONS. OUTDOOR RECREATION AREAS TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF BOZEMAN ARE ALSO READILY ACCESSIBLE.
THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE PROJECT WILL OFFER VIEWS TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST. UPPER FLOORS GAIN VIEWS ACROSS BOZEMAN TO THE SOUTHWEST, AND UP THE GALLATIN RIVER VALLEY TO THE NORTHWEST.
THE SITE DESIGN RESPONDS TO THE VARIETY OF SCALES AND LAND-USE ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES BY PLACING SMALLER-SCALE TOWNHOUSE-STYLE UNITS ACROSS FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST, WHILE THE LARGER MASSES OF THE OFFICE BUILDING AND APARTMENT BUILDING SIT CLOSER TO THE LARGE INDUSTRIAL AND WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS TO THE NORTH. BUILDINGS ALONG COTTONWOOD CONFORM TO THE SCALE AND CHARACTER OF THE RECENT MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS TO THE SOUTH OF THE SITE.
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS AND THROUGH-BLOCK PASSAGES OCCUR ON THE SOUTH AND NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE SITE, WHILE THE VEHICLE TRAFFIC IS DIRECTED NORTHWEST TO WALLACE AVENUE.
FROM THE R/UDAT REPORT
“The Core is the central portion of the R/UDAT project area and is an eclectic mix of light industrial buildings intermingled with small cottages, walking paths and historic sites. The look and feel of the core is central to how the resident’s see themselves. Developing a strategy for Defining and protecting the Core is essential to maintaining the residents’ cultural connection to the city’s history as well as their neighborhood identity as a “funky,” creative, and diverse place to live, work and play.”
