Cr. Mehl asked where a motion on the figures should happen. CA Sullivan provided his
recommendation.
DM Andrus stated she would like to talk about the placeholder for alternative compliance, and she
supports the staff, and that the design community's request is too broad. CA Sullivan recommended
removing the language of placeholder by motion.

08:39:41 PM (02:43:53) Discussion
DM Andrus explained her rationale for removing that language, as she doesn't support the alternative
at this time.
Cr. Krauss will be voting no, as the design community needs a path where this can happen.
Cr. Mehl stated there isn't a current workable alternative.
Mayor Taylor also supports this, as the document is an attempt to balance the critique of the design
community with some standards.

changes forward. Mr. Rogers responded that staff is in support.
Cr. Krauss asked if the word pattern would remain.
DM Andrus asked about fagade articulation,and what the difference is from the addition and omission,
on page 4.

replacement.
Cr. Mehl asked on page 6, if D.2 and 3 conflict with an earlier staff memo. Director Matsen responded.

on page 7. Mr. Rogers stated the figures need to be updated at the end.
DM Andrus asked for more clarification on the changes on vertical articulation. Director Matsen
demonstrated on the whiteboard.
Cr. Krauss stated this isn't actually that drastic.

DM Andrus asked for additional text/photographs to add more clarity.
Cr. Krauss stated he would change departures on page 9 to number 4. He asked staff's opinion.
Cr. Mehl asked on page 10,A, if number 2 is already covered by number 1? Mr. Rogers stated staff
would be fine either way. He asked about including windows in building fagade, and why part B on page
10 was removed. On page 13, he asked in 26 about prohibited windows, and why staff dropped
"continuous ribbon,"and what is that window? Director Matsen provided clarification.
DM Andrus asked if recessed windows make sense with EIFS.
Cr. Krauss made some comments on windows.
Cr. Mehl asked on pg. 15, add to section that rooftop solar is permitted. It was clarified that D takes care
of this.

Cr. Mehl stated there isn't any indication code is slowing solar down. He asked if this would apply to
houses. He asked why solar panels are considered ugly, and if it could say encouraged instead of
permitted?Staff responded to questions in detail.
DM Andrus stated she prefers "permitted"to"encouraged."
Cr. Krauss stated that screening"carefully integrated" is not as important as actively encouraging
alternate forms of energy.

Revised section 38.530 Building Design: November 21, 2017
Section 38.530 below replaces the July 28, 2017 draft version in its
entirety.
All changes to the July 28,2017 draft are identified with for deletion
and underlining for addition and highlighted in=to identify the location of changes.
Addition to introductory section:
■ One of the primary goals of the UDC update is to make it easier to use and understand,
particularly for those who do not use it on a daily basis.Therefore,staff included
photographs and illustrations(collectively referred to as"figures"in the draft)to assist
in explaining the intent and standards of a particular section.The design community
found the photographs unhelpful and requested that they be replaced with illustrations
that more accurately represent the concept.Staff agrees;however,creating new
illustrations would require additional financial support that is currently not included in
the budget for this project.
■ To facilitate revising,replacing,and adding figures in the UDC in the future,and to
clarify that figures are illustrative and not regulatory,staff suggests adding section
38.100.120:
Sec.38.-M.120.—Figu
The figures in this chapter are for illustrative purposes only and do no
regulatory standards. Figures may be revised,replaced or added by administrative
issued by the Director of Community Development. _

Sec.38.530.010.—Purpose.

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.

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

4. The quality of facade materials in concert with doors,windows,and other facade features and
their ability to add visual interest to the street from a pedestrian scale and more distant
observable scales.
S
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.

story buildings,the modulation must extend through more than one-half of the building floors.
2. Use a contrasting vertical modulated design component that:
�.Utilizes a change in building materials that effectively contrast from the rest of the facade;
Is modulated vertically from the rest of the facade by an average of six inches.
3. Facade employs building walls with contrasting articulation that make it appear like
distinct buildings.To qualify for this option,these contrasting facades 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

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.
