PrOjEct NARRATIVE
WEST PEACH CONDOS
11BOZEMAN MIDTOWN TIFF ASSISTANCE REQUEST
The 0.9 acre R5 zoned property sits on along north side of the 300 block of West Peach Street.
The site currently is vacant and ready for utilities, water/sewer and off-site improvements to
begin upon approval. The project will be built in four phases. Completion of Phase I & II is
projected for the fall of 2019 and Phase III & IV for the spring of 2020.
Centrally located in the heart of Bozeman’s Midtown District, the West Peach Condos project
will include four residential buildings, featuring a total of 17 townhome style condominiums.
The two southern buildings will face West Peach Street and the two northern buildings will face
the adjacent vacant lot and North Grand Park. This development, designed by local architect
Cole Roberston at Plum Lab Design, will mix modern aesthetics with traditional quality crafts-
manship. Each unit celebrates the rich history and character of this unique neighborhood, while
accommodating the needs of today’s urban family.
Well planned and impressively spacious living areas offer the ultimate condo lifestyle. Each
2,180 sq ft residence features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, modern kitchen amenities,
in-unit laundry, a privately enclosed 150 sq ft yard patio, a 533 sq ft double car garage and two
balconies with spectacular views of the surrounding neighborhood and Bridger Mountains.
On-site features will include guest parking spaces for bikes and vehicles, snow removal services
and trash removal services.
The exterior materials chosen for this project are incredibly durable and will bring a vibrant,
modern feel to the neighborhood. A mix of different materials such as composite siding,
concrete walkways and porches, cedar fencing for private patios and balconies, metal hand rails
and metal front entrance awnings bring the modern design together and keep it from becom-
ing boring. Each individual condo uses a signature color inside the balcony areas and front
awnings to emphasize the uniqueness of each unit and draw the eye to the entrances.
The landscape plan for the development includes numerous trees, shrubs and lawn areas that
all shall have permanent underground irrigation installed to ensure a healthy landscape for
years to come.
The project’s centralized location presents inherent advantages that are sure to contribute to
the overall success of the development. The West Peach Condos location received a 72 walk
score and 75 bike score. The project is just three blocks east of North 7th Ave and Bozeman’s
Midtown corridor making it easy for residents to support the businesses within the district.
With nearby schools, parks, restaurants, services and public transportation this location is ideal
for an infill development project.

CRITERIA FOR TIF ASSISTANCE
OVERALL DISTRICT RELEVANCE
1. RELEVANCE TO THE MIDTOWN URBAN RENEWAL PLAN: 5 / 5
Documentation of the project’s impact in relation to the goals and objectives of the Midtown Urban Renewal
Plan, particularly mixed-use development. Urban design elements will also be considered, including pedestrian
emphasis and quality of design.
Located at the corner of West Peach Street and North 3rd Avenue, in the heart of Bozeman’s Midtown District,
this vibrant 17 condo development mixes modern aesthetics with traditional quality craftsmanship. Designed by
local architect, Cole Roberston / Plum Lab Design, each unit celebrates the rich history and character of this
unique neighborhood, while accommodating the needs of today’s urban family. These condos are mixed use as
they not only have well planned spacious living areas and modern amenities but they also include a home office
from which a small business could be managed. From the West Peach Condos you can enjoy easy access to
walking and biking trails, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, retail stores and entertainment venues.
PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
2. TAX GENERATION: 4 / 4
The project will increase the taxable value within the District. The increase in taxable value due to new
construction & rehabilitation is estimated by the County Assessor’s office or State Department of Revenue to
determine tax increment generation. Submit documentation of estimated tax projections to receive points for
this criteria.
The vacant land is currently taxed at $5,600.00 per year. The sale price of the West Peach Condos is estimated to
be $520,000.00 each. The County Assessor then estimates the cost to build each unit, plus the land value, and
times that number by 1.25-1.5, which gives you your annual tax. I estimate the cost to build and the land to be
approximately $460,000.00 per unit. Estimated property tax revenue is as follows:
$460,000.00 x .0138 = $6,348.00 per unit.
$6,348.00 x 17 units = $107,916.00 total annual tax.
3. ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT: 4 / 4
The project’s direct and indirect impact on the physical and fiscal deterioration within the Tax Increment
Financing District and the community. Submit information showing current conditions of property.
The vacant land had three vacant homes which were demolished. These structures were non historic, and were in
a state of disrepair. The largest home had been condemned for a number of years due to it being deemed
unsafe and structurally unsound.
4. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION: 3 / 3
Total employment generated by the project assessed in terms of new permanent and part-time jobs, and
construction jobs. Submit documentation of estimated new jobs to receive points for this criterion.
The West Peach Condos project will employ several small businesses and contractors in the area. All of our
subcontractors and suppliers are local, Bozeman companies. Each unit will also allow for a home based business
to be operated from the unit.
CRITERIA FOR TIF ASSISTANCE
IMPROVE MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION
5. FACILITATES PUBLIC HEALTH AND MOBILITY: 5 / 5
Project will construct or improve sidewalks, including ADA access to buildings. Provide detailed
information demonstrating that the current condition inhibits public health and mobility.
This property had two small houses and one condemned, large apartment building/house which have been
demolished. These old structures were non historic, and were in a state of disrepair. The large apartment
building/house had been condemned for a number of years due to it being deemed structurally unsound, unsafe
and frequented by homeless people and unlawful activities. The current conditions of the property do not
promote pedestrian traffic due to a lack of lighting, security, poor sidewalk conditions on West Peach Street
and no sidewalk on North 3rd Avenue. North 3rd Avenue currently does not meet city standards as it lacks
curb and gutters, sidewalks, proper drainage, etc.
The West Peach Condos project improvements to public health and mobility include:
· A new, six foot wide city sidewalk along both West Peach Street and North 3rd Avenue.
· Road improvements on North 3rd Avenue along the east side of this property which includes new
curbs and gutters with several approaches.
· A new street light on the corner of West Peach Street and North 3rd Avenue.
6. REDUCES RESOURCE DEMAND: 1 / 1
Project promotes the use of transit, ride sharing, or car sharing. Provide plans, agreements or other
methods to demonstrate reduction of resource demand.
Although our project does not include a ride share program, families that live and own these condominiums
will be within easy walking/biking distance to Midtown and Historic Downtown Bozeman. With a 72 walk score,
considered “Very Walkable” and a 75 bike score, considered “Very Bikeable”, they are just minutes from
schools, parks, walking trails, restaurants, services and public transportation. Scores can be found on the Walk
Score website at www.walkscore.com. There are three Streamline bus stops are within a few blocks of the
property.
7. PROMOTES ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION: 2 / 2
Project promotes bicycling as an active transportation option by constructing or improving bike lanes,
providing covered bike parking, and/or participating in a bike share program. Provide plans,
agreements or other methods to demonstrate reduction of resource demand.
There is currently a bike lane along West Peach Street. The new street light that we will be installing will
provide light for increased rider security and safety. We will have bike racks onsite, and each unit will have a
double car garage and storage where bikes can be stored.

· The boulevard will be fully landscaped with multiple new trees and a new irrigation system will be installed.
· This project is also required to contribute and participate in the SID that will be created for the street light
and intersection improvement at West Peach Street and North 7th Avenue.
PROMOTES UNIFIED HUMAN SCALE URBAN DESIGN
9. IMPROVES STREET FRONTAGE: 2 / 2
The project improves the street frontage by eliminating parking between the right-of-way and the
building. Provide plans to demonstrate improvement in street frontage.
The site plan and buildings are oriented so that the garages do not front West Peach Street or North 3rd
Avenue. Each unit will have two parking stalls within their garage. There are seven designated street parking
stalls available to visitors that do not encroach/impede on the right of way or the bicycle lane.
10. REDUCES ACCESS POINTS: 2 / 2
The project reduces the number of vehicular access points to the property and improves the
pedestrian experience. Provide plans, agreements or other methods to demonstrate reduction.
The property currently has three access points (old driveways) that have aprons or access onto West Peach
Street. This project will abandon those access points and create only one point of access onto West Peach
Street and one access point on North 3rd Avenue.
11. ENHANCES NORTH 7TH AVENUE: 2 / 3
The project enhances the North 7th Ave. entryway corridor by having buildings oriented toward the
street and designed to provide interest and activity.
Although this project is not located on North 7th Avenue it is part of the Midtown District. West Peach Street
is used as a major collector for people within the Midtown District. This project will dramatically improve the
“Street-scape” or appearance of the property from West Peach Street. This property had three condemned
or abandoned structures on it. The West Peach Condos project will have patios and decks fronting West
Peach Street that will provide outdoor recreational spaces for owners and guests creating visual interest and
activity.
CRITERIA FOR TIF ASSISTANCE
WEST PEACH CONDOS
14BOZEMAN MIDTOWN TIFF ASSISTANCE REQUEST
12. ENHANCES PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE: 3 / 3
The project enhances the pedestrian experience with elements such as façade transparency, building
articulation, street furniture and/or landscaping. Submit plans and details that address this criterion.
The current stretch of sidewalk along West Peach Street is in disrepair and not very pedestrian friendly. There
is currently no sidewalk along North 3rd Ave. West Peach Street and North 3rd Avenue will be revived with
new sidewalks for pedestrians, new landscaping complete with an automated irrigation system, new trees,
and lighting. Our project will provide a much needed improvement and will create visual interest with the
buildings vibrant design enhancing the pedestrian experience.
13. QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT / OVERALL AESTHETICS: 2 / 2
The quality of development and overall aesthetics (architectural, site design, landscaping, etc.) are
beyond that which is minimally required by the UDC. Submit documentation to demonstrate
compliance with this criterion.
The current R5 zoning designation for this property allows for a much more dense usage than what we are
proposing. We believe providing more of a townhome style development vs. apartments fills a need for
urban families that is not currently being met. Our project was designed by Plum Lab Designs to complement
existing architecture in the area while adding a more modern flair to the neighborhood. Elements such as
exterior patios, covered decks, and garage doors that are hidden from the street, improve the overall
aesthetics of these structures. Low maintenance exterior materials will allow these buildings to maintain their
appearance for years to come.
SUPPORT COMPATIBLE URBAN DENSITY MIXED LAND USES
14. INCREASES HOUSING: 4 / 4
The project increases housing units within the District. Submit plans demonstrating an increase in the
number of housing units.
This property currently has zero housing units on the property. The West Peach Condos will add 17 new
condominiums to the Midtown District.
15. MIX USE: 4 / 4
The project has a mix of uses, including residential. Submit plans detailing the proposed mix of uses
within the project.
The West Peach Condos are designed with the small business owner and/or entrepreneur in mind. Each
condo will include an office space that is separate from the residential living areas. See floor plans included.
16. SHARED PARKING: 1 / 2
The project shares parking among compatible uses. Provide details demonstrating compliance with
the UDC and as well as total number of parking spaces reduced because of a shared arrangement.
Although we do not have any designated “shared” parking stalls onsite, this project meets or exceeds
parking standards of the UDC. Home based business owners will not have to drive to park anywhere. Their
garage parking is essentially shared as they are living and working from their home. Instead of a mixed use
building in which parking stalls are used by two different people at different times of the day, the West Peach
Condo project allows the same person to live and work while using the same parking stall.

Re-Occupancy of Vacant Land
321, 315 & 305 West Peach Street was the past location of three abandoned structures. Since
their demolition, these lots have sat vacant while the project has undergone concept, design,
and approval. The West Peach Condos will be a redevelopment project that will make the area
more vibrant and desirable which will draw activity to the Bozeman Midtown District.
Elimination of Blight
Currently 321, 315 & 305 West Peach Street consists of vacant land. The developer/owners have
already demolished the old structures. The West Peach Condos project will provide much
needed added value to the area. The landscape plan for the development includes numerous
trees, shrubs and lawn areas that all shall have permanent underground irrigation installed to
ensure a healthy landscape for years to come. The condo design will bring a vibrant, modern feel
to the neighborhood. Marrying the outside and inside spaces with spacious balcony areas
providing openness and the ability to sit outside while being above vehicular traffic.
Urban Living
The West Peach Condos project will include four buildings, featuring a total of 17 condominiums.
Each residence consists of 2,180 sq ft of living space, 533 sq ft double car garage, 150 sq ft
enclosed yard patio, 90 sq ft covered deck off master bedroom, and 110 sq ft covered deck off
the living room. Large windows provide spectacular views of the surrounding neighborhood and
Bridger Mountains. The project’s centralized location presents inherent advantages that are sure
to contribute to the overall success of the development. The West Peach Condos location
