PROJECT SUMMARY
The development proposal is for the construction of a single, four-story approximately 221,000
square foot building. The building is located on the west side of the property with an unnamed
watercourse between the building and 22nd Avenue. The building includes a single story
amenity space with a rooftop deck, which visually separating a north and south building
section. The amenity area serves to meet a portion of the residential space requirement. In
addition, an approximately 1,600 square foot commercial space is proposed on the southeast
side of the building.
The subject property is designated as a regional commercial node according to the City’s Future
Land Use map and was zoned B-2 (Community Commercial Business District). Subsequently
the property was rezoned to B-2M (Community Business District – Mixed). As such, the original
intent of the site was designed primarily for commercial activity, therefore no parkland was
provided. Based on the number of units 67,689 square feet of parkland or equivalent is
required. The project proposes dedicating a 15,640 square foot park in the northeast corner of
the property. Additional amenities are proposed.
Residential open space requirements are being met by a combination of open areas on the west
side of the building, between the building and parking lot, internal amenity area, and roof top
deck areas.
A unique approach to the block length is employed reacting to the exiting context. In this case,
the original subdivision contemplated commercial development and character allowed for
greater block length and widths. A visually transparent atrium or great hall separating the
north and south residential wings. A pedestrian pathway connects properties on the east and
west. In addition, the watercourse creates a physical barrier. A pedestrian crosswalk will be
constructed to allow access to and from the site.
A 226 parking stall parking lot is proposed to provide parking for residence. Due to the size of
the parking lot additional design elements are require and integrated into the design and
circulation. Specifically, parking areas greater than 200 feet must provide pedestrian pathway
for greater access and non-motorized function. The design includes these elements.
No departures are required or are identified.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Please note that these conditions are in addition to any required code provisions identified in this
report. Additional conditions of approval and code corrections are required and will be included
with the final report provided to the Director of Community Development.

Yes Yes
Comments: No offsite improvements to the transportation system are identified in
the traffic study. Vehicular access to the property is from Remington Way and
Kagy Boulevard, and an alley separating the subject property from the properties
to the east. According to the Traffic Impact Statement prepared for this project,
“The Annex Student Living project will increase pedestrian and bicycle crossings
at the existing pedestrian crossing at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Lincoln
Street. Based on current traffic and pedestrian flows at this location, the Bozeman
Transportation Master Plan recommends installing an actuated traffic signal to
improve traffic and pedestrian flow at this intersection (recommended Spot
improvement #3, estimated cost $60,000). Pedestrians and Bicycles from the
Annex Student Living project will add to the need for a traffic signal/actuated
pedestrian crossing at this location. The developer should work with the City of
Bozeman to help implement this roadway improvement to increase safety for
pedestrians and bicycles crossing 19th Avenue in this area.”
Both the City’s of Bozeman Transportation Master Plan and the traffic impact
study note the need for a signalized pedestrian crossing at the intersection of
Lincoln Street and South 19th Avenue. As the development is reliant upon the
improvement, a plan to install the crossing must be in place prior to site plan
approval. See code corrections.
