Commission Memorandum
T�k CO.M°
REPORT TO: Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Danielle Garber, Associate Planner
Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Staff Report for the Certificate of Appropriateness application to
allow for a zoning deviation for exterior signage, specifically cited from the following Sections of
the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC): Section 38.560.060.A to allow a projecting sign to be
greater than 12 square feet in size. Application 19418.
As well as potential Conditions of Approval if the City Commission votes to approve this
application:
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2020
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
AMENDMENTS: Add the following criteria and staff finding to page 19 of the Staff Report
at the end of the list of Secretary of the Interior Restoration Standards:
"10. Designs that were never executed historically will not be constructed. As demonstrated
through the historic photographs provided by the applicant, and outlined in criteria #7
above, the proposed sign design was never executed historically and therefore should not be
constructed."
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: If The City Commission determines to approve the
proposed 24.5 square foot blade sign we recommend the Commission consider including the
following conditions of approval:
1. This approval supersedes the previous approval of Certificate of Appropriateness
application#17407 for a 12 square foot blade sign. (Note: the applicant can install one
blade sign, but not both. The 12 foot sign, for which applicants already have approval and
which is superseded by this approval, has not yet been built.
2. A sign permit must be obtained through the Building Division prior to the installation of
any signage.
3. Prior to completion of the installation of the Ellen blade sign, the applicant must install an
interpretive plaque on the building fagade that explains the history of the original Ellen
blade sign in 1919 and the addition of the reader board in the 1930's. The interpretive
plaque will mitigate the effects of incorporating elements from different historic periods
that never existed together.
4. Locate the sign above the marquee, between the first and second easternmost arched
windows,which is closer to the original placement of the sign in the middle of the
entrance to the building and will mitigate any possible adverse effects on the eastern
abutting property.
