1. Ground Print. (9:0)
a. Page 42. Residential Mixed Use.
This category promotes neighborhoods substantially dominated by housing, yet
integrated with small-scale commercial and civic uses. The housing can include single-
attached and small single-detached dwellings, apartments, and live-work units.
Residences should be included on the upper floors of buildings with ground floor
commercial uses. If buildings include ground floor commercial uses, residences should be
located on upper floors. Variation in building mass, height, and other design
characteristics should contribute to a complete and interesting streetscape.
b. Page F-2. Staff to draft more nuanced definition of infill that includes reference to land-
locked site, time consideration, and the existing neighborhood.
c. Appendix. Page F-2.
Neighborhood. An area of Bozeman with characteristics that distinguish it from other
areas and that may include distinct economic characteristics, housing types, schools, or
boundaries defined by physical barriers, such as major highways and railroads or natural
features, such as watercourses or ridges. A neighborhood is often characterized by
residents sharing a common identity focused around a school, park, business center, or
other feature. As a distinct and identifiable area, often with its own name, neighborhoods
are recognized as fostering community spirit and a sense of place, factors recognized as
important in community planning.
