Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Mayor and City Commission FROM: Martin Matsen, Planning Director
Andrea Surratt, City Manager
SUBJECT: Commission Resolution No. 5004 MEETING DATE: Monday, March 25, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Commission Resolution No. 5004 declaring the City
Commission’s intent to consider adoption and integration of the “2019 Downtown Bozeman
Improvement Plan” as a neighborhood plan under the City of Bozeman growth policy and set a
public hearing date of April 15, 2019. BACKGROUND: The City of Bozeman has had an adopted growth policy since 1958. The
most recent growth policy was adopted on June 1, 2009, known as the Bozeman Community
Plan (BCP). The growth policy allows for the development of “neighborhood plans” for a sub-
sector of the Bozeman community. The City of Bozeman partnered with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and consultants, Agency Landscape and Planning, Groundprint, Intrinsik Architecture, and Leland Consulting, in the update to the downtown Bozeman neighborhood
plan entitled “2019 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan”.
The Planning Board conducted a public hearing on the draft downtown Bozeman neighborhood plan. At their March 5, 2019 meeting, the Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Commission approval of the draft plan with staff recommended corrections.
The City Commission is required to pass a resolution of intent to amend a growth policy and
conduct at least one public hearing before taking action. The resolution of intent states the intent to consider the revised growth policy and sets a date for the public hearing.
An adopted Planning Board resolution and minutes, as well as any submitted public comments,
will be provided to the City Commission prior to the public hearing. A draft resolution and
minutes are provided with this memo. A draft of the downtown Bozeman neighborhood plan will be provided once the public hearing is set.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Budgeted funds will be used to advertise the public hearing.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. Attachments: Draft resolution and Planning Board minutes
