G. Performance Points and Open Space Requirements
1. Objective – Blackmore Bend is required to meet the minimum required UDC performance points as a
commercial development within the East Main Street Entryway Corridor. It is the intent of these
guidelines to provide project level guidance on specific performance areas as well as phase level
guidance for the use of the developer and the City of Bozeman in evaluating the threshold
performance of the project and each phase.
a) Additional Open Space
(1) One point is allowed for each percent of the project that is provided for non-public open
space and one and one quarter point for each percent of the project that is provided as
publicly accessible open space. To this end, it is intended that the setbacks along Haggerty
Lane, East Main Street, and Highland Boulevard be enhanced in one of the following ways
with the intent for the public spaces to be publicly accessible.
(a) Pedestrian access points with seating to the multi-purpose path on the east side of
Highland and along the western and northern boundary to include enhancements
such as fly-rod casting practice areas, patios or other appropriate pedestrian access
and gathering areas. The intent is to encourage human level activity in these areas
through the creation of engaged activities and gathering zones.
b) On Site Storm Water Treatment
(1) The project will incorporate a master storm water management system utilizing below grade
retention and ultimate discharge to the wetlands located to the east across Haggerty Lane.
c) Xeriscaping
(1) The use of drought tolerant and vegetation native to Southwest Montana will be strongly
encouraged for each phase of development to reduce the need for excessive irrigation to
include limitations on the amount of sod to be used in the landscaping plan.
d) On Site Recycling Collection Center
(1) An onsite recycling collection center can be installed in either phase one, two, or three of the
project near the proposed trash container area within any of the designed enclosures.
e) Water Use Reduction
(1) The use of water reducing plumbing fixtures will be encouraged for each structure within the
project to include waterless urinals in public restrooms, low flow shower heads, faucets and
toilets.
H. Landscape Requirements
1. General Items:
a) The views of the mountains from this section of East Main Street shall serve as a primary
consideration and amenity for Blackmore Bend enhanced by both the placement of buildings with
relationship to each other and design and placement of spaces and windows within the buildings,
(particularly on the upper levels). Access to exterior spaces and pedestrian ways along the
northern and eastern boundary, as well as thoughtfully placed pedestrian nodes with connectivity
Blackmore Bend
Architectural Guidelines

to the interior of the project through appropriately placed walkways will assist in making these
inspiring views a compliment to the site.
b) Landscape design should consider and implement sustainable practices which may include but are
not limited to native grasses, trees and shrubs that can survive and thrive in the regional climate
conditions of Southwest Montana without excessive irrigation or fertilization. Placement and
orientation of landscaping elements should also be considered against potential benefits to the
heating and cooling loads of buildings.
c) Emphasis should be placed on creating an active pedestrian zone along the street frontages and
pedestrian corridors throughout Blackmore Bend. Landscape design should emphasize building
entries.
d) In conjunction with the following specific landscape criteria, designers must adhere to the UDC
requirements for landscape design.
e) Maintenance of all common exterior landscaped areas will be by a common area maintenance
agreement to be administered and managed by a professional property services firm. Irrigation
for landscaping on individual parcels will be the responsibility of the property owner.

M. Building Design Criteria
1. Purpose
a) The purpose of the following architectural design criteria is to provide architects with a basic
framework to organize individual building designs. The character of Blackmore Bend is to
acknowledge contemporary regional architectural features appropriate for the community and
the neighborhood. Bold exterior expression of the interior space volumetrics is encouraged (see
illustration in 2.e below) Proper respect should be made to enhance the pedestrian experience
with commercial architecture to a human scale.
b) All proposed construction must be submitted for review to the Blackmore Bend Architectural
Review Committee (BBARC). This review is to assure proposed designs meet all criteria and that
they adhere to the envisioned character of the development. (Please see Submittal Forms
attached hereto).
2. Architectural Character
a) The commercial structures are envisioned to acknowledge the commercial nature of the
development. The structures should present a modern interpretation of traditional architectural
elements appropriate to the region and community. Creative architectural design with bold
expression of the geometric volumes and spaces within each building is strongly encouraged.
b) Structure design must consider interaction with other structures in the complex. Orientation of
building, location to entries, building landscaping, location of mechanical equipment, etc., must
consider other structures and potential future development.
c) Commercial structures must enhance the pedestrian character of the development. Buildings
must address adjacent streets with building entries, as well as accessory parking lots. Pedestrian
scale must be considered in building form and detailing.
d) Exterior finish materials for structures must complement other structures in the complex.
Creative use of durable materials is strongly encouraged.
e) Walls and Facades
Each structure face shall be designed to create a unified image for the building with strong
geometric volumes reflecting the spaces within. Detail that adds character is strongly encouraged
and should be maintained on all wall faces. Creative use of materials is also encouraged. Walls
and facades must meet the following criteria:
(1) All facades of a structure shall be finished with materials consistent with and the complex and
detailed to create a unified image for the entire development.
(2) Building walls shall be clad in masonry, cement panels, architectural metal or other similar
commercial character finish material.
(a) Wood finish materials may be considered on a case by case basis. In general, residential
detailing is discouraged.
(b) Other wall finish material may be submitted to for approval. Material must add to the
overall character of the structure and may not detract from the character of the complex.
Blackmore Bend
Architectural Guidelines
Page 12 of 18
An example of intended use of geometric volume and materials.
(3) Material colors should be tones appropriate for the region and the community. Accent colors
shall not detract from overall appearance.
(4) Variation in wall surface is strongly encouraged.
The use of recessed or projecting wall areas, and
wall offsets adds to the texture of the wall, and
creates character in the structure.
(5) Transitions in wall finish material must occur at
an inside building corner. Wall finish material
should not end at an exposed outside corner.
(6) Material changes that occur over the height of
the wall shall be emphasized with detail in the
wall finish material (i.e., an accent band, or
variation in brick coursing).
(7) Second or third level exterior decks shall not extend beyond the building face. Decks must be
integrated into the building form.
(a) No deck may be continuous for more than one third (l/3) of the associated wall face*.
(*Wall face measured along wall segments adjacent to deck on same level as deck.)
(8) Designs that do not achieve these design criteria may be submitted for review to the BBARC.
Each design will be reviewed on its own merit and whether or not it complements the vision
of the development.
f) Roofs
The roof elements create the three-dimensional texture of the streetscape. Variation in roof
form, height and detail is encouraged. Creative manipulation of building form will add to the
An example of changes in wall surface materials.
Blackmore Bend
Architectural Guidelines

building character and add to the aesthetic impact of the project. Roof design must meet the
following criteria:
(1) Flat roofs are strongly encouraged, but sloped roofs will be considered on a case-by-case
basis:
(a) Horizontal planes of flat roof must be broken with an elevation change, integrated with
another roof form, integrated with a skylight system, or be visually broken with parapet
manipulation.
(b) If sloped roof elements are utilized they shall be shed, gable or hip form.
(2) Exposed roof slopes shall be clad with asphalt/fiberglass shingles, natural slate, artificial slate,
cement shingles, or pre-finished metal. Colors shall be natural earth tones.
(3) Dormers and projecting roof elements are encouraged.
(4) Mechanical equipment, plumbing vents, furnace and boiler flues and all other associated
mechanical penetrations may be located on sloped roof planes facing a public R.O.W. but
minimized and integrated into the overall design of the project.
(a) Routing of mechanical items is strongly encouraged to be consolidated to minimize the
number of roof penetrations.
(b) Creation of false chimney elements to contain flues, vents, and other mechanical
penetrations is strongly encouraged for structures with sloped roofs. Consolidation of
flues, vents and other mechanical penetrations are encouraged so as to limit the number
of false chimney elements.
(c) Vents and pipe penetrations on sloped roofs shall be painted to match roof.
(5) All roof mounted mechanical equipment must
be screened from view.
(a) Screen assembly shall integrate with
building design through material and
form.
(b) Extended wall parapets will suffice for
equipment screen if no part of equipment
is visible from any public R.O.W. adjacent
to the site.
(6) Although sloped roofs are not anticipated, if
proposed they will be evaluated on a case by
case basis. In such an event, the same level of
screening, at a minimum, will be required as the
example to the right illustrates
(7) Sloped roofs that terminate in a parapet wall are not required to meet minimum eave
extension.
An example of HVAC and mechanical screening that
compliments the base materials of the structure.
