BACKGROUND: There are two vacancies on the Zoning Commission. The City Clerk’s Office has recently discovered a discrepancy between the official term end dates in Bozeman Municipal Code and what has been appointed in the past. In order to correct the terms, there will be one month added to the current terms, including these appointments, changing the end dates from January 31 to February 28 of the relevant term year. Two new applications have been received; one by a current Planning Board member and one by a new applicant. The Zoning Commission was re-created under Ordinance No. 1500, to establish procedures for the administration of the municipal zoning ordinance within the City limits. Resolution No. 3312 then established the membership of the Zoning Commission. According to Resolution No. 3312: The Zoning Commission shall consist of five members appointed by the City Commission. Members of the board shall serve two-year staggered terms. Persons of legal age may be appointed to the board. All members must be residents of the City of Bozeman.
