EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
None
Project Summary
The Downtown Bozeman Partnership, 224 East Main Street, Bozeman, MT 59715,
commissioned Agency Landscaping and Planning, and partnering firms, to update the 2009
Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan. The 2009 Downtown Bozeman Improvement
Plan (2009 Plan) paved the way for many improvements over the past nine years – from
building facade renovations to street tree plantings to the addition of dozens of new units
of downtown housing. Now, the 2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan (2019 Plan
or Downtown Plan) will chart a new path for the next decade. The 2019 Plan suggests
development code revisions, provides a market analysis of the downtown study area, and
suggests implementation principles and incentives that could occur over a longer period of
time.
The plan area is not proposed to change from the boundary established with adoption of the
2009 Plan. The area is described as a combination of the “B-3” (Central Business District)
zoning district, the “Community Core” land use designation category, the Downtown Special
Improvements District and public facilities locations (e.g. Bozeman Public Library, Willson
School, etc.) as is illustrated in the figure on page 4 of this report. The plan area overlaps
with the boundaries of several downtown neighborhood associations and encompasses the
Main Street Historic District.
The proposal at hand is to consider the adoption and integration of the “2019 Downtown
Bozeman Improvement Plan” as a neighborhood plan under the City’s growth policy
(Bozeman Community Plan). By incorporating the Downtown Plan into the Bozeman
Community Plan, the plan becomes part of the decision making process for new
development and for program revisions. The process by which a neighborhood plan is
adopted is considered a growth policy amendment per Montana State law.
Future changes to codes, policies, and infrastructure projects are independent of this
growth policy amendment review. If changes or projects were proposed, additional
opportunities would be given to the public to comment on the proposals. The City
Commission would determine if the proposals are appropriate for the overall community.
The Plan correlates with the City of Bozeman’s recently adopted Strategic Plan, bolstering
several goals identified in Section 4. A Well-Planned City such as the promotion of a high-
quality, urban approach to growth and parking management. The Strategic Plan calls for
higher densities and intensification in Downtown and lists the update of the Downtown
Improvement Plan as a specific objective in 4.4.a. A Figure from the 2019 Plan illustrating

its relationship with other City of Bozeman Plans, Codes, Guidelines and Standards is shown
on page 7 of the staff report.
Alternatives
1. Recommend adoption with the recommended contingencies;
2. Recommend adoption with modifications;
3. Recommend denial based on the Planning Board’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Conduct and continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or the applicant
to supply additional information or to address specific items.

SECTION 2 - RECOMMENDED CONTINGENCIES OF APPROVAL
If the Planning Board recommends approval, the following contingencies are recommended.
Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the processing of
the proposed amendment.
Recommended Contingencies of Approval:
1. The Resolution of adoption shall be prepared and acted upon by the City Commission.
2. Any Commission- directed changes to the text be completed prior to adoption by the
City Commission.
SECTION 3 - RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Having considered the criteria established for a growth policy map amendment, Staff
recommends approval with contingencies for the application as submitted.
The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on March 5, 2019 to make a recommendation
to the City Commission whether or not to adopt the 2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement
Plan.
The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the adoption of the 2019 Downtown
Bozeman Improvement Plan as a neighborhood plan within the growth policy on April 15,
2019. The hearing will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting will begin at
6 p.m.
SECTION 4 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application
materials, municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials
available during the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review.
The analysis in this report is a summary of the completed review.
In considering applications for approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following criteria. As an amendment is a legislative action, the
Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The burden of proof, that the
application should be approved, lies with the applicant.
There are no state law criteria specific to the review and adoption of a neighborhood plan.
The City of Bozeman has created criteria for an amendment to the growth policy. In the
absence of state criteria the City uses the locally created criteria. To reach a favorable
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 9 of 17
decision on the proposed application the City Commission must find that the application
meets all of criteria 1-4 of Section 17.4, Bozeman Community Plan Amendment procedures.
In making these findings, they may identify that there are some negative elements within a
specific criteria with the final balance being a positive outcome for approval.
Section 17.4, Bozeman Community Plan Amendment Criteria.
1. The proposed amendment must cure a deficiency in the growth policy, or
improve the growth policy, to better respond to the needs of the general
community;
In both the current Bozeman Community Plan and the emerging themes identified in its
update, Downtown is identified as an important part of Bozeman. The Community Plan
update envisions Bozeman as “A City Bolstered by Downtown and the Complementary
Districts” with appropriate levels of density, business, culture, education, and the arts, resulting
in thriving, enriching, healthy, and inspiring environments.
The proposed “Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan” improves the growth policy by
providing a closer examination of downtown Bozeman’s current conditions and offering
recommendations tailored to those unique existing conditions. The Plan states “With the
core largely developed and protected as the Main Street Historic District, Downtown Bozeman’s
future growth will occur off of Main Street.” The Plan visualizes how this growth could celebrate
unique historic and emerging character districts, from an arts and culture district off Grand
Avenue to an industrial district off Wallace.
Within a City growing at a rate of approximately 3%, the Plan looks at regional and national
trends to estimate Downtown’s share of the growth. The 2019 Plan states that Downtown
is expected to gain “250,000-350,000 square feet of new office space by 2045” and the
demand for new housing “ will range from 400 to 800 units by 2045”.
Future development and investment in the downtown area will be appropriately guided by
the neighborhood plan. By engaging with community stakeholders, the planning process
ensures that the needs of the general community are heard and the Plan itself will ensure
the needs are part of the conversation for the next decade and beyond.
Furthermore, as has been identified in the Bozeman Community Plan which is being
updated concurrently, the City of Bozeman is one of the fastest growing places in the
country. As the City grows, it is expected to follow trends which show a significant
percentage of the City’s commercial development will be drawn to Downtown. As the plan
states “Understanding the mix of uses and general density will inform long-term utility
needs as well as determine if Downtown is providing the right mix of uses needed to serve
the growing Bozeman population.”
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 10 of 17
2. The proposed amendment does not create inconsistencies within the growth
policy, either between the goals and the maps or between different goals and
objectives.
The 2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan does not create inconsistencies within the
growth policy or other City documents. Several goals and objectives from the 2009 Bozeman
Community Plan that the Downtown Plan bolsters are listed below. The Downtown Plan is
being drafted concurrently with the growth policy update and points to several consistent
themes. In addition, the Plan correlates with the City of Bozeman’s recently adopted Strategic
Plan, bolstering several focus areas such as the promotion of a high-quality, urban approach
to growth management and parking management and specifically, higher densities and
intensification in Downtown and other key areas. Finally, the 2019 Plan is mentioned as a
tool toward further implementation of the 1995 Downtown Urban Renewal Plan, as
amended in 2015, which states on page 6:
“Because this Plan is specific in its direction, but not in details or timetables, this
Plan is further detailed, refined, prioritized and implemented by the ‘Downtown
Improvement Plan’ which outlines specific programs and projects consistent with
this Urban Renewal Plan.”
Goals and objectives within the 2009 Bozeman Community Plan (growth policy) support this
proposal, including but not limited to the following:
Objective G-2.3: Strive to maintain a balanced supply of land for the variety of uses
necessary to support a vigorous city.
The Plan is based on a market analysis and uses local and national growth trends to
predict future land use demands for Downtown.
Objective ED-1.1: Support business creation, retention, and expansion. Emphasize
small businesses, ‘green’ businesses, and e-businesses.
The Plan suggested amendments to the code that would encourage the development of
smaller office spaces.
Objective ED-1.2: Coordinate the provision of infrastructure necessary to support
economic development.
The Plan discusses capital projects such as parking infrastructure and suggests a
collaboration between the Downtown Business Partnership and City of Bozeman on a
downtown infrastructure and public realm master plan.
Goal LU-2: Designate centers for commercial development rather than corridors to
encourage cohesive neighborhood development in conjunction with non-motorized
transportation options.
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 11 of 17
Objective LU-4.6: All mixed use areas should be developed on a grid of connectivity,
including streets, alleys, driveways, and parking areas that contain multimodal
facilities and a high level of connectivity to adjacent development. Shared use,
underground, or other structured parking is recommended to reduce surface parking
area.
Objective H-1.1 - Encourage and support the creation of a broad range of housing
types in proximity to services and transportation options.
Objective C-1.3: Support compatible infill within the existing area of the City rather
than developing land requiring expansion of the City’s area.
Under the “Welcoming to Everyone” framework, the 2019 Plan addresses the challenges
unique to downtown based on its historical development: “The Downtown B-3 district is
primarily surrounded by residentially zoned neighborhoods as well as anchored by less intense
commercial zoning on the east and west ends. It is important that the zoning regulations and
land use projections designated in the community plan are aligned so that future development
or change is predictable, objective, and coordinated.” The Plan recommends adjustments to the
B-3 zoning district boundary including where there is a conflict between the underlying growth
policy or where zoning transitions occur mid-block. Downtown Design Guidelines are
identified as a way to guide transition between residential neighborhoods and the urban core.
3. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the overall intent of the
growth policy.
The adoption of the 2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan as a neighborhood plan in
the Bozeman growth policy is consistent with the overall intent of the growth policy. The
neighborhood plan approach is permitted by state law and allows a closer examination of
the existing conditions and future needs of a defined neighborhood area.
The five key framework topics of the 2019 Plan are consistent with the intent and text of the
growth policy’s vision statement and goals. As mentioned earlier in the staff report, the
economic and physical health of the downtown Bozeman area is a matter of specific interest
and its improvement remains a priority in the update to the Bozeman Community Plan.
The downtown plan includes the required element of a neighborhood plan including a map
showing the boundaries of the plan, a description of goals to be achieved by the
neighborhood, an inventory of existing conditions, a transportation network in
conformance with the transportation plan and growth policy and overview of various land
uses.
4. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the community as a whole
or significant portion by:
a) Significantly altering land use patterns and principles in a manner contrary to
those established by this plan,
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 12 of 17
The adoption of the “2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan” as a neighborhood plan
does not alter the land use principles or designations discussed in Chapter 3, “Land Use” of
the Bozeman Community Plan. The Downtown Bozeman Partnership, in coordination with
other downtown stakeholders, has the right to suggest future changes to both land use and
zoning under the guidance of the Community Plan’s key principles. However, only the City
has the authority to adopt changes to both future land use and zoning on a property. The
plan does not alter the future land use map. The plan does identify locations where the
zoning and future land use map are not matched. These will receive further consideration
later this year during the update of the Bozeman Community Plan.
As noted in criteria 2 and 3, the 2019 DBIP is consistent with and advances the Bozeman
Community Plan.
b) Requiring unmitigated larger or more expensive improvements to streets, water,
sewer, or other public facilities or services, thereby impacting development of
other lands,
Throughout the 2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan and its Appendix are
strategies suggested by the planning team based on their examination of national trends in
downtown areas and local market analysis and growth trends. The recommendations in the
plan will require further analysis of options and techniques in advance of implementation.
Fiscal responsibilities needed to achieve these recommendations shall also be analyzed prior
to implementation.
One strategy in particular that is carried forward from the 2009 Plan would entail street,
water and sewer improvements. The redesign of Main Street, Mendenhall and Babcock to
improve bicycle routes, walkability and traffic flow would require considerable analysis and
study. Upon direction by the City Commission, City Staff may work with downtown Bozeman
stakeholders and determine if the economical and physical benefits outweigh the fiscal
responsibilities required to implement the recommended projects.
The City conducts on-going maintenance of the existing infrastructure. Opportunities to
expand key segments in coordination with maintenance provides a very cost effective means
of expanding service capacity. There is considerable building volume allowed under the
existing zoning beyond what has presently been constructed. The recommendations of the
2019 DBIP do not alter this fact. All of the potential capacity will not be used at once. An
analysis of service needs is conducted during updates to facility plans and availability of
capacity is verified during the development review process. New development will make
various contributions toward mitigating additional demand for services consistent with the
City’s development standards.
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 13 of 17
c) Adversely impact existing uses because of unmitigated greater than anticipated
impacts on facilities and services,
Adopting the “2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan” as a neighborhood plan will
not require services contrary to that shown in the current City of Bozeman facility plans. The
neighborhood plan applies to an already developed area and provides a tool for
neighborhood cooperation and private/public partnerships to focus on improvements to
existing conditions, including facilities and services.
Additional development in the downtown area will impact the existing parking conditions.
The plan makes recommendations in regards to parking, specifically changes to the surface
parking lots and changes in parking policy requirements. The plan also recommends the
consideration of additional structured parking to meet increasing demand. Subsequent
ordinance revisions would have to occur before any of the parking recommendations are
implemented. The review of ordinance revisions would weigh the benefits and negatives of
the recommended parking changes. Similarly, any street redesign would require traffic
studies and coordination across jurisdictions to contribute to the feasibility discussion.
The City is presently implementing the 2016 Strategic Parking Management Plan. This plan
identifies 26 strategies to improve parking function. Any proposals within the 2019 DBIP
will be considered in combination with the parking plan. Any proposed changes to parking
regulations must go through the appropriate text amendment or rule making process first.
These processes allow more thorough analysis in greater detail than is possible at a plan
level and additional opportunities for public participation.
d) Negatively affect the livability of the area or the health and safety of the
residents.
The 2019 Downtown Improvement Plan will not negatively affect the livability of the area
or the health and safety of the residents. On the contrary, the goals and strategies within
the plan are intended to ensure that while commercial uses are the primary function of
Downtown, its relationship with adjacent residential areas and further residential
development within its boundary remains an important consideration in Downtown’s
development. Coincidently, elements that attract businesses downtown are similar to what
make it more livable—walkability, public spaces, access to art and culture, retail choices,
and multi-modal transportation. Furthermore, the preservation of the Downtown
character and enhancement of its connection to other districts and to the natural
environment is prioritized as an enhancement of livability for all of Bozeman.

APPENDIX A - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND
BACKGROUND
Project Description
The proposal at hand is to consider the adoption and integration of the “2019 Downtown
Bozeman Improvement Plan” as a neighborhood plan under the City’s growth policy
(Bozeman Community Plan). The 2019 Plan represents the next iteration in a quarter
century of downtown planning, which includes the following documents:
1995 Downtown Urban Renewal Plan
1998 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan
2009 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan
2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan
By incorporating the Downtown Plan into the Bozeman Community Plan, the plan is given
legal strength and requires all downtown stakeholders to consider its recommendations
with future development. To further the purposes of community planning, state law
authorizes the preparation of “neighborhood plans.” These plans are prepared for a
portion of the entire community area and must be in conformance with the overall growth
policy of the City. These smaller plans allow the investigation of more detailed issues
which would be burdensome to examine in a community wide planning process. The
process by which a neighborhood plan is adopted is considered a growth policy
amendment per Montana state law.
Neighborhood plans allow for a greater degree of citizen participation in planning efforts
which will directly influence their place of residence or work. The smaller scale of
neighborhood plans allows local land owners, residents, and others most affected by the
finer detail of the neighborhood plan a greater autonomy than would be likely if the fine
level details were only determined as part of a community wide plan. The neighborhood
plan provides a context to evaluate development proposals and the connections through
them and to the surrounding community. Neighborhood plans are similar in use to
community-wide growth policies, in that they establish guiding policy to development. It is
recognized that there are many different specific development proposals which can comply
with those guidelines. The preparation of the neighborhood plans is a means of increasing
predictability during the development review process by establishing in public documents
the expectations for the area.
In collaboration with the consultants and City of Bozeman, the Downtown Bozeman
Partnership offered several types of public engagement regarding the plan in August and
October of 2019. In August, the team conducted 68 stakeholder interviews and 5 community
workshops and gathered feedback from over 380 people through online and interactive
surveys and activities. Building on comments gathered, the consultant team presented the
18197, Staff Report for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan Growth Policy
Amendment. Page 15 of 17
Downtown Plan Draft Framework (Framework) at various public events October 29-31,
2018. Over 120 people attended and provided feedback bringing the total number of public
responses to the Downtown Plan concepts to over 2,100.
The Framework identified 5 key attributes for Downtown Bozeman. To be successful, the
community envisioned Downtown would be:
the heart of a thriving city,
walkable and accessible,
much more than Main Street,
welcoming to everyone, and
connected to nature and culture.
Under these guiding principles, the Plan addresses connections within Downtown and
among surrounding districts, parking access and supply, Downtown as the city center,
historic character, multi-modal transportation, access, and improvement of public spaces
connected to the natural environment. Future changes to codes and policies are
independent of this growth policy amendment review. If changes are proposed, the public
will have additional opportunities to participate and comment on the revisions. The City
Commission determines if the revisions are appropriate for the overall community.
The City of Bozeman has the primary responsibility for municipal planning in Bozeman.
The City contributed fifteen thousand dollars toward the creation of an updated downtown
Bozeman neighborhood plan. The City of Bozeman was named as a third party beneficiary
to the professional services agreement, dated June 15, 2019, between the Downtown
Bozeman Partnership and Agency Landscape and Planning to establish a working
agreement between the two organizations during the neighborhood plan’s development.
Additionally, the Department of Planning contributed staff members during the call for
proposals, consultant selection, development and review of the neighborhood plan.
Furthermore, Planning Staff assisted with the public noticing of the growth policy
amendment application.
The 2019 Plan Draft was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Downtown Urban
Renewal District Board at its meeting on February 19, 2019. The Plan was reviewed by the
Downtown Bozeman Improvement District Board (DBID) on February 20, 2019. The group
continued its discussion to their March 13, 2019 meeting and will forward a
recommendation to the City Commission. DBID Board members will discuss concerns raised
by members of the public related to the management of existing public parking assets, the
need to add public parking supply, and how future investments in public parking will be
funded.

Amendment. Page 16 of 17
APPENDIX B – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
The notice was published in the Legal Ads section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on
Sundays, February 3 and February 17, 2019. The Planning Board public hearing is
scheduled for March 5, 2019 and the City Commission public hearing is scheduled for April
15, 2019. Prior to the City Commission hearing, the Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2019
Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan is scheduled for the Commission consent agenda
on March 25, 2019.
As noted in Appendix A, there has been substantial opportunity for public participation
during the plan’s development. Multiple opportunities are available to comment on the
current draft prior to any action to adopt. These include both orally and in writing by
electronic or printed means.
As of the completion of the staff report, 10 public comment letters have been received. All
written comments received prior to the public hearing will be provided to the Planning
Board and City Commission. Themes addressed in the public comment include the
following:
- Sustainable growth rates – The plan does not attempt to address what is a
sustainable growth rate for downtown including how many residents downtown
can accommodate.
- Regulation critique – The plan focuses on regulation as the only influence on
housing affordability while leaving out the role of the building and finance
communities.
- Convert Main Street to bike/ped-only and put in context with redesign of Babcock
and Mendenhall.
- Do not remove downtown from the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District.
The historic heritage of downtown is a significant factor in its economic success.
Design guidelines for downtown should be developed.
- Further transition is needed between downtown and adjoining historic
neighborhoods, particularly with height regulations and revisiting zoning
boundaries.
- Parking section doesn’t address residential on-street parking
- Mention Crow Nation in historical overview
- A sales tax should be recommended in the Plan
- More time should be allowed for public comment
