PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVESPUDP Checklist 14 E. Explanation for each of the Community Design Objectives and criteria in Section 38.430.090.ESECTION 38.430.090.E DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND PUD CRITERIAA. ALL DEVELOPMENT 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, irrigations companies, fire protections, electricity, flood hazard areas, natural
gas, telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets?
Yes - all services and systems conform to the latest building codes adopted by the City of
Bozeman Building Department. Standard services including water, sanitary supply, fire
protection meet the current standards and codes issued by the City of Bozeman. Trails,
walkways and bikeways have been provided both onsite as well as logical connections to the
surrounding neighborhood networks.
2. Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation?
N/A - there are not significant existing natural vegetation features to be preserved. The
current site conditions have about 45% of the site covered with building or paved surface and
the unpaved areas have unmaintained weeds and bushes. The project will have less solid
surface lot coverage and will have extensive landscaping. These are 6 trees that will need to
be removed to accommodate the podium construction. Over 30 new trees will be planted on
site with this project.
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?
Yes - the layout of the buildings and placement of the plaza provide for open and direct
connections across the site, and efficient circulation for both the residents and the public.
4. Does the 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?
Yes - this infill project contributes to the overall reduction of energy, as does the walkability
of the site plan and street edges. These have further been reinforced through the LEED
Neighborhood Design Status we will achieve through this development.
5. Are the elements of the site plan (e.g. Buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping,
etc.) designed and arranged to maximize privacy of the residents of the project?
Yes - special consideration has been given to the various types of dwelling units to provide
both privacy and accessibility. Ground level units will incorporate private outdoor spaces that
will function as a privacy screen from other at grade activities. The second and third floor
COTTONWOOD + IDA
RESPONSE & RESUBMITAL II || JANUARY 2019
page 54
PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVESCONTINUEDunits afford privacy due to their placement above grade. Each building is designed to maximize privacy while encouraging interaction with the other residents and community members through plaza spaces and shared roof decks.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?
Yes - we have provided all the open space and parkland required by the code. The primary
organizing factor and key design goal was to create common public spaces that invite activity
for residents, office users and neighborhood denizens to enjoy. We have accomplished this
through the thoughtful arrangements of buildings - creating open spaces that vary in scale
and character across the site. These include public plazas, private residential plazas, private
personal outdoor spaces and balconies, and shared roof decks.
7. Performance - All PUDs must earn at least 20 performance points.
Yes - we have achieved 58 points for the project. For specifics, see Section 3.04, page 44-45 of
this document.
8. Is the development being properly integrated into the development and circulation patters
of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated
“pad” to adjoining development?
Yes - the project will create new connections to the neighborhood through the construction of
upgraded street networks and sidewalks. The public plaza spaces will afford access and views
through the site further connecting the project to the neighborhood.
SECTION 38.430.090.E DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND PUD CRITERIA
A. MIXED USE
Planned unit developments in mixed-use areas (REMU, UMU, and NEHMU Zoning Districts) may include
commercial, light industrial, residential and mixes of various primary and accessory uses. The types or
combination of the uses are determined based upon its merits, benefits, potential impact upon adjacent
land uses and intensity of development.
1. Is the project substantially consistent with the intent and purpose statements for the
underlying zoning district?
Yes - The underlying zoning is NEHMU, 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 non-residential
and residential uses.” Additionally, “The unique qualities and nature of the area are not found
COTTONWOOD + IDA
RESPONSE & RESUBMITAL II || JANUARY 2019
page 55
PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES CONTINUEDelsewhere in the city and should be preserved as a place offering additional opportunities for creative integration of land uses.” This project is very consistent with this intent. We include a range of housing types, and a range - and type - of commercial activity consistent with the zoning. 2. Is the project located adjacent or within proximity to an arterial or collector street that provides access to the site?
Yes - The property is located 300 feet from Peach Street (Collector) and 300 feet from Tamarack
Street (Collector) and 900+/- feet from Rouse Ave which is designated as a Principal Arterial in
the City street network.
3. Is the project on at least two acres of land?
Yes - 2.01 acres
4. 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,
streetscapes etc.?
Yes
5. Does the overall project exceed the FAR “floor area ratios” envisioned for the underlying
zoning district?
N/A - none specified for the NEHMU district. The F.A.R. for this project is 1.8
6. Is it compatible with and does it reflect the unique character of the surrounding area?
Yes - The character of the surrounding area has a mix of residential and commercial activity.
There are two- and four-story mixed-use residential projects, a 70 feet repurposed grain
elevator, metal warehouse buildings, historic brick buildings and single-family homes. We
strove to develop a mass and scale that is consistent with this while being able to provide
opportunities for more affordable units. The use of materials and unique architecture further
reinforces the character of the district.
7. Is there direct vehicular and pedestrian access between on-site parking areas and adjacent
existing or future offsite parking areas that contain more than 10 spaces?
Yes - the project will lease parking spaces on an adjacent site which will have more than
10 spaces (72 spaces). Additionally, given that this project is surrounded on three sides by
public streets creates direct connections both vehicular and pedestrian with the surrounding
neighborhood.
8. Does the project encourage infill, or does the project otherwise demonstrate compliance
with the land use guidelines of the Bozeman Growth Policy?
COTTONWOOD + IDA
RESPONSE & RESUBMITAL II || JANUARY 2019
page 56
PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES CONTINUEDYes - The project is exemplary of infill, it is taking an underutilized warehouse / brownfield site and redeveloping it to include a mix of both residential uses and commercial activity that will efficiently use the surrounding infrastructure. 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?
Yes - The project has provisions for urban plazas, courtyards, landscaped areas, access to off
site open spaces and trails. See Landscape.
10. Does the project provide for private outdoor areas (e.g. private setbacks, 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?
Yes - per the UDC the project has provided private outdoor spaces, patios and balconies per
code for use by both commercial units and residential units.
11. Does the project provide outdoor areas for use by persons living and working in the
development for active or passive recreational activities?
Yes - The uses contemplated in this project would be more passive recreation in nature,
however the project is located along a trail system that connects to the Story Mill Park which
offers many active recreational opportunities.
12. Is the overall project designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and
provide efficient public services and faculties?
Yes - The very nature of infill development and specifically this project achieving LEED ND
Standards provides further evidence of the project’s commitment to conserving energy and
preserving the natural environment.
13. If the project is proposing a residential density bonus as described below, does it include a
variety of housing types and urban styles design to address the community-wide issues of
affordability and diversity of housing stock?
N/A - No density bonuses are proposed - however we meet housing diversity and affordability
metrics.
14. Residential Density bonus.
N/A - The project is not proposing any residential density bonuses.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPACT MITIGATION
The Northeast Historic Mixed-Use (NEHMU) is unique within the City - constantly evolving to accommodate
a rich variety of uses. The Cottonwood and Ida Mixed-Use project contains the residential and commercial
uses currently allowed, and promotes diverse land-uses that remain sensitive to the neighborhood
context. While apartment buildings are not specifically permitted in the district, residential units are
allowed on the second and subsequent floors above commercial spaces. The zoning code further states
that the “standards for buffering between different land uses are deliberately not as high as standards
elsewhere in the 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.” The project responds to existing conditions by placing denser commercial activity closer to the
commercial office and shop spaces on surrounding blocks. Additionally, lower-scale residential units on
the site (Building 3 Townhouse-style units) are located across the street from other single-family scaled
residences. Other steps have been taken to reduce the overall mass and scale of this project by placing
parking underground and, in place of surface parking, providing public open spaces to foster connections
to the community.
ESTIMATED NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES FOR BUSINESSESThe project contains three primary types of commercial spaces. The first is a more traditional office format in Building 6, located at the Northwest corner of the site, where there are three levels of open-plan office. These spaces could be divided to host smaller tenants, however the intent is to lease the majority of the building to one or two primary tenants. The second type of commercial space is one we are classifying as “maker spaces” in Building 4. These would be smaller spaces where creatives could maintain a studio to showcase their work, or where a digital start-up could find an affordable foothold. Third, there is an opportunity for a small scale cafe located in building 5 on the Plaza. This would likely be a place that provides small dining opportunities for the office and makers as well as residents throughout the day. Below is a matrix of spaces and uses, along with estimates of the number of employees.

DESIGN METHODS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
The site planning will be certified by the US Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Neighborhood Development (LEED ND). The project is being planned, designed,
engineered and constructed to yield a development that makes much more efficient use of land and
resources than land-use patterns typical for the region - thus reducing overall energy consumption.
In addition to the overall site planning, strategies will be employed in the individual buildings to reduce
energy consumption and promote long-term sustainable practices across the project - including low-
flow plumbing fixtures, high-performance windows, energy efficient appliances, low-voltage lighting, and
onsite recycling facilities.

RATIONALE FOR CHOICES MADE BY THE APPLICANTFrom the early planning stages of the project we insisted that it contribute a solution for the shortage of affordable housing in Bozeman. Traditionally, more affordable housing has been pushed to the newer parts of town, with the older neighborhood becoming more and more gentrified. We see an opportunity to keep affordable housing options in the NEHMU District, taking advantage of the existing infrastructure and established neighborhoods surrounding the site. We also believe that the project needs to accommodate more than one demographic, and have included a broad range of unit types to promote a mix of age and income levels on the site. The project has also very intentionally approached the need to provide commercial uses in this mixed-
use neighborhood so that there are opportunities for individuals to live close to where they may work.
The hope is that both residents of the site and the surrounding neighborhood will be able to bike or walk
to work. We have planned the site and the structures as a distinct micro-urban context, with individual
residents living and working on-site, with inviting places for them to gather and enjoy the interactions
of daily life. We have provided extensive public open spaces and landscaped courtyards to serve this
purpose, and have intentionally created an open and accessible site. The unique aesthetic qualities of
this district also compelled the project to respond in a unique manner, exploring architectural styles that
respond to both the industrial and residential context.
COTTONWOOD + IDARESPONSE & RESUBMITAL II || JANUARY 2019page 62The 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 REPORTCHARACTER: “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.”HISTORIC TRAIN DEPOTNORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAYMISCO MILLCAFEBAKERYN.

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.”WALLACE AVEAERIAL FROM THE SOUTHEASTIDA AVECOTT
