RE: Bozeman Community Plan Update
SUBJECT: Final Draft FLUM Comments
Dear Planning Board -
I will start out by thanking you for responding to our prior comments and your diligence to complete this
important update. It is long overdue.
Second, I want to apologize for these 11th hour comments. I believe that it is never too late to do the
right thing, but I had not seen these issues until recently (it’s a complex/big plan as you know). A couple
weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see the ability to draw on the Proposed FLUM Map online and
leave comments. I came back later to review and add notes, but the ability to edit or add was seemingly
disconnected. I write these outline notes as I am not certain you received them.
I will add that the FLUM map online was a bit difficult to process – as I found that alone it was necessary
to also review the existing future land use designations + existing zoning + aerial images and in some
cases other information to accurately understand the ramifications of suggesting changing the draft
FLUM.
See attached reference maps showing the specific areas of the current map (with zonin, etc) and the
draft FLUM.
A: Area that the existing and proposed designation is in conflict with B-3 Zoning. I know of at least
one active project under construction that could be non-conforming if the land use was not
updated to Traditional Core. I recommend designating as Traditional Core.
B: Area that the existing and proposed designation is in conflict with B-3 Zoning. I know of at least
one active project in the advanced entitlement stages that could be non-conforming when built
if the land use was not updated to Traditional Core. I recommend designating as Traditional
Core.
C: Parcel that the existing and proposed designation is Public Institutions when it is simply leased
for County services but privately owned. I recommend designating as Traditional Core.
D: Zooming on this area reveals some odd line work that could cause confusion in the future.
I recommend some simple housekeeping in the final map
Thank you for your careful considerations,
Robert J. Pertzborn, AIA
