BACKGROUND:
The applicant, McGough Construction, seeks to construct a phased development containing one mixed-use building with storefront commercial space along Gallatin Green Boulevard and a conditional use permit for ground level residential and three apartment buildings. 31 dwelling units
are proposed over two phases with parking, open space and associated site improvements. The
subject parcel is located within Baxter Meadows Subdivision southeast of the corner of Kimberwicke Street and Gallatin Green Boulevard. The site is bound to the north, east, and south by open space and park, with public access trails platted with the original subdivision. Gallatin
Green Blvd lines the west frontage with R-3 residential to the west. This proposed project is subject
to the Mixed Block Frontage standards, and the applicant has chosen to develop to the Mixed-
Storefront standard along Gallatin Green. The proposed 1.4-acre site has two accesses off Gallatin Green Blvd, and pedestrian connections to the adjacent open spaces. The proposed site plan contains 31 residential units in four buildings spread over two phases with 15 units in two buildings
in the first phase with associated parking, landscaping and site improvements. Eight commercial
units line Gallatin Green with 420 square feet (sf) per unit, totaling 3,360 sf.
A conditional use permit has been requested for ground level residential and apartment buildings in B-2 (community business district) zoning per the allowed uses in Section 38.310.040.A.
Building A contains the only commercial uses in the development. The commercial uses meet the
required 20-foot minimum retail space depth required in the Mixed-Storefront block frontage
standards in Section 38.510.030.B. The back of Building A contains residential garages and entrances to second level units. Buildings B, C, and D are 100% residential on all levels.
The property is addressed as 2472 Gallatin Green Boulevard, Bozeman, MT 59718. The property
is legally described as Baxter Meadows Sub Phase 6, S34, T01 S, R05 E, Block 14, Lot 5, Acres
