Planning Updates In this section, I will provide update about several ongoing City planning processes. Community Plan (City Growth Policy) Update Consultants: Logan Simpson (Ft. Collins) Update: October 15-17, 2018 Second round of public engagement. https://www.bozeman.net/city-projects/bozeman-community-plan-update NCOD and Design Guidelines Update Consultants: Bendon Adams Consulting (Aspen, CO) and Orion Planning (Missoula, MT) October 1-3, 2018 Second round of public engagement was postponed until November 7-9, 2018. A draft will be released in advance of the November meetings. https://www.bozeman.net/city-projects/ncod-review Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan Strategies 1 through 5 have been completed. Strategies 6 (Cash-in-Lieu), 7 (UDC Parking Requirements), and 8 (SID 565) are scheduled to be addressed in 2018. I am working with City staff to develop a timeline. Strategy 10, focusing on data collection and analysis, was in part completed with the release of the 2017 Downtown Parking Study conducted by WTI. Strategies 12, 13, and 14, which focus on signage, branding and wayfinding associated with parking will be completed in 2018. Strategy 15 (upgrade the parking technology systems at the garage and used for on-street management) the new T2 parking management system is completely “live” in use. Discussion and Decision Item Bozeman Creek Floodplain Map Update Chris reported that the City of Bozeman Engineering Department, Allied Engineering, and FEMA continue to negotiate the use of our locally funded and produced floodplain data. The most recent version of the proposed floodplain map shows more accurate (and therefore less impactful) flood ways and areas. An official revised FEMA floodplain map is expected to be release during the first quarter of 2019. The board agreed that the invest in the Allied 2-d modelling effort was yielding better results. Downtown Plan Update Chris reminded the board that the draft framework presentations for the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan had been rescheduled to October 29, 30, and 31st. He presented the board with the specific event schedule (included below) which includes: three public events and stakeholder work sessions for downtown boards, downtown business and property owners, other citizen advisory boards, and city staff. Chris encouraged the board to attend the downtown board stakeholder meeting and/or any of the public sessions. New-Old Business Eric Bowman requested an update on the Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan in particular regarding UDC, SID 565, and Cash In Lieu components. **Meeting was adjourned at 1:00pm** 2018 DOWNTOWN BOZEMAN IMPROVEMENT PLAN UPDATE Draft Framework Presentations Monday, October 29, 2018 Public Drop-In Workshop 4:00 - 6:00pm Bozeman Event Space, Media Room Tuesday, October 30, 2018 Advisory Board Presentation 8:00 - 9:30am Bozeman Event Center, Media Room DBIP Advisory Committee, Bike Advisory Board, City Planning Board, Design Review Board, Economic Development Council, Historic Preservation Board, Inter-Neighborhood Council, Parking Commission, Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee Downtown BID, DBA, URD Boards Presentation 12:00 - 1:30pm Bozeman Event Center, Media Room Public Presentation 6:00 - 8:00pm Rialto Theater, Light Box Wednesday, October 31, 2018 Downtown Property and Business Owners Presentation 8:00 - 9:30am Bozeman Event Center, Media Room Public Drop-In Workshop 12:00 - 1:30pm Bozeman Event Center, Media Room
