On March 2, 2020, the City Commission re-opened the hearing on Ordinance 2033, heard a staff
summary of changes to Ordinance 2033 (since the February 3, 2020, City Commission meeting), asked
staff questions, took public comment, and entered into discussion.
During City Commission discussion of Ordinance 2033, the City Commission approved an
amendment to Ordinance 2033 offered by Commissioner Cunningham. The amendment adds language
to Ordinance 2033 as follows:
Sec. 36.04.603. – Parking Benefit Zones/Creation/Dissolution/Parking Commission Authority.
B. To establish a parking benefit zone, amend an existing parking benefit zone (including
amending boundaries), or dissolve a parking benefit zone, the parking commission must comply
with the following:
1. Adopt a resolution of intent to establish, amend, or dissolve a parking benefit zone;
2. Upon adoption of the resolution of intent, mail notice to the owners of all real property
and to all physical addresses within the proposed zone of a public hearing on the proposal
and the opportunity for residents of the proposed zone to support or protest
establishment, amendment, or dissolution of the parking benefit zone. The notice must
be mailed 30 days prior to the date of the public hearing;
3. Post notice of the public hearing in no less than five locations at the exterior boundaries
of proposed parking benefit zone; and,
4. The notice must also inform property owners and residents within the proposed parking
benefit zone that within thirty (30) days of the date of mailing of the notice of passage
of the parking commission’s resolution of intent to establish, amend or dissolve a
parking benefit zone, residents within the proposed parking benefit zone may protest
the establishment, amendment, or dissolution of the proposed parking benefit zone by
submitting a written protest to the city clerk listing the resident’s physical address. If
residents representing sixty percent (60%) or more of the residents total number of
properties located within the proposed parking benefit zone protest the creation
establishment, amendment, or dissolution of the parking benefit zone, within the thirty
day protest period the parking commission may not propose establishing, amending, or
dissolving the zone for a period of six months.
265

5. At the conclusion of the public hearing and if insufficient protests have been filed with
the city clerk the parking commission may establish, amend, or dissolve a parking benefit
zone by adopting a resolution. The resolution is not effective for 30 (thirty) days after
adoption; as such, the parking commission may not regulate parking within a newly
established or amended parking benefit zone until 30 (thirty) days after adoption of the
resolution establishing or altering the parking benefit zone. A resolution to dissolve a
parking benefit zone is effective immediately upon adoption.
Initial Discussion of Ordinance # 2033
On February 3, 2020, the Bozeman City Commission first considered provisional adoption of
Ordinance 2033, which establishes a Downtown Parking Management District and authorizes the
Bozeman Parking Commission to create, modify, dissolve, and operate Parking Benefit Zones within the
Downtown Parking Management District. The video for the meeting can be found here: February 3,
2020 Bozeman City Commission Meeting (the item begins at 2:39:15). The staff memorandum from
February 3rd is available here.
On February 3, the City Commission opened the hearing on Ordinance 2033, considered the staff
presentation and materials, asked questions of staff, took public comment, and entered into discussion.
Additional questions were asked by the City Commission at which point, due to the lateness of
the hour, the Commission determined that the balance of the discussion would be continued until March
2, 2020.
As a result of the February 3, 2020, discussion and public hearing, two adjustments were made
to Ordinance #2033: (i) we removed the time restriction from the ordinance allowing the Parking
Commission to establish time restrictions in a parking benefit zone; and (ii) adjusted the methodology
for issuing resident parking permits.
Below you will find a summary of our responses to questions raised by commissioners at the
February 3, 2020 City Commission hearing:
1) Commissioners inquired about the petition process for creating a parking benefit zone
within the Parking Management District. As noted at the February 3rd meeting, the petition
process is simply a way for residents to request the Parking Commission create, modify, or
dissolve a parking benefit zone. Under the proposed ordinance, the Parking Commission may
establish its own procedures for creating a parking benefit zone including doing so on its own
initiative or upon request or petition by residents. Our initial recommendation stands: the
Parking Commission should be the entity to establish procedures for creation of a parking
benefit zone; as such, procedures for doing so should not be included in the ordinance. As
266
Page 4 of 6
noted, we will recommend to the Parking Commission to allow residents to be included in a
petition – not just property owners.
2) Commissioners raised questions regarding the hours a parking benefit zone could regulate
parking. We recommend changes to the ordinance that would remove specific hours allowing
the Parking Commission to establish the hours where parking would be regulated within a
parking benefit zone.
3) Commissioners asked how the City would address multi-household buildings within a
parking benefit zone. Our recommendation is to indicate in the ordinance that apartment
and apartment buildings (defined as five (5) or more dwellings in a building, per the City’s
Unified Development Code) are not eligible to purchase annual resident parking permits;
residents of such apartments are eligible to purchase non-resident permits.
This prohibition limits the number of resident on-street parking permits, which is important
because the Parking Benefit Zone would only be proposed where there is already more than
85% parking occupancy.
a) Linkage to on-street public parking spaces for required street frontage.
i) Under current zoning, the minimum lot width for single household dwellings in R1-R4
is 50 ft. For buildings with two or more units the current minimum lot width increases
to 60ft. It’s important to note these standards are for newly created parcels. In either
scenario, this minimum lot width creates frontage that could accommodate a
maximum of two 24 foot parking spaces. If building heights and densities increase
without a commensurate increase in frontage, a building containing apartments could
potentially overwhelm the available adjacent frontage for parking. Allowing resident
permits for high density apartment buildings would either require the cost of all
permits – residential and non-resident – to increase or undermine the essential ability
of the parking benefit zone program to use pricing to regulate demand.
ii) Apartments are a permissible use in the B-3 zoning district, but are not allowed in
most of the residential zoning districts surrounding downtown. The policy goal here
is to encourage apartment developers to provide adequate onsite parking and not
rely on public on-street parking in surrounding neighborhoods for meeting the parking
needs of their buildings. Apartment dwellers may purchase non-resident permits, as
available and at market rates.
Commissioners raised the possibility of grandfathering existing apartment buildings.
Grandfathering currently constructed apartment buildings, or apartments, creates more
resident annual residential on-street parking permits for the adjacent blocks that already
cannot support the number of vehicles likely associated with apartments or apartment
267
Page 5 of 6
buildings. A possible outcome includes higher cost for all residential permits in the zone
and is not a preferred option.
4) Commissioners discussed whether to issue residential parking permits based on ‘driver’ or
‘dwelling’. In the staff memorandum for the February 3rd Commission meeting we included
in the proposed ordinance the ability for each driver residing within a parking benefit zone to
be eligible to purchase one resident on-street permit. We discussed the efficacy of this
standard. We now recommend amending the eligibility requirement to allow two resident
on-street permit per dwelling rather than one permit per driver.
a) “Dwelling” limits the number of residential on-street parking permits which is important
because a Parking Benefit Zone is only being applied where there is already greater than
85% parking occupancy.
b) Administering the driver method is difficult.
c) Currently, the proposed ordinance authorizes only structures used for residential uses to
qualify for resident on-street permits in a parking benefit zone.
Limiting permits to “dwellings” is important to the functionality and management of a Parking
Benefit Zone. A Parking Benefit Zone is applied only where there exists less greater than 85%
occupancy. Non-resident permits will be available to residents, businesses and non-
residents, as available.
A business within a residence where the owner lives in the structure, a private practice
counselor for example, would have access to both annual residential on-street parking
permits and annual resident visitor on-street parking permits and could also purchase non-
resident permits, as necessary and available. Non-residence business in a Parking Benefit
Zone may purchase non-resident permits.
5) The Commission inquired whether a resident could resell (or transfer) parking permits.
We recommend against establishing a secondary market for selling Parking Benefit Zone
Residential Dwelling permits. Administering any flexible permit program, under these
circumstances, would be difficult and inefficient. A Parking Benefit Zone, although not
specifically proposed, would be considered for use where there is currently a parking
occupancy problem in an area surrounding the B-3 zoning district. Allowing subsidized
residential dwelling permits to be purchased and then resold, like a commodity, ultimately
defeats the purpose of the Parking Benefit Zone by reducing the City’s ability to manage the
parking through the sale of permits.
6) Can a resident within a Parking Benefit Zone purchase a commuter permit, if necessary, for
their vehicle/living arrangements? Yes.
268
Page 6 of 6
7) Commissioners requested an additional map that would show not only the boundaries of
the parking management district but also the existing zoning; it is included in the meeting
packet.
8) How would we handle it if one side of street is in the B-3 zoning district, and the other side
of the street is in a different zoning district?
a) The Parking Commission will consider the boundaries and zoning designations of a
proposed parking benefit zone prior to creation. We would recommend the Parking
Commission not to create a parking benefit zone only on one side of a street; or bisected
by a zoning district. There are logistical issues that arise when creating a parking district
only on one side of a street - learned from our experiences within the Montana State
University and Bozeman High School parking districts.
9) Finally, a commissioner asked whether creating a Parking Management District, and
eventually a Parking Benefit Zone, is an incentive for increasing density downtown. We
believe the answer to this is no. While new multi-household and mixed use development
adjacent to downtown can use on-street spaces to satisfy a portion of their parking
requirements as authorized by existing zoning in the B3 zoning district, under the
proposed ordinance if the development qualifies as an apartment building or contains
apartments under the proposed ordinance those apartments will not be eligible for
resident parking permits. Residents of apartments within these developments may,
however, purchase non-resident permits if such are available.

ORDINANCE NO. 2033
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA ESTABLISHING THE DOWNTOWN PARKING MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT, AUTHORIZING THE BOZEMAN PARKING COMMISSION TO
ESTABLISH PARKING BENEFIT ZONES WITHIN SAID DISTRICT AND PROVIDING
FOR PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE DISTRICT OR ZONE REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman (the “City”) is authorized by the City Charter and
Montana law to establish programs and laws to protect public the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens of Bozeman; and,
WHEREAS, Montana Code Annotated Sect. 7-14-4621 sets out general powers of a
parking commission; and,
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission created and granted authority to the Bozeman
Parking Commission to regulate parking within the Parking Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant
to Resolutions 1676, 1839, 3803, and 4577; and,
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission recognizes the need to expand the authority
of the Bozeman Parking Commission beyond its current jurisdiction (currently established to be
commensurate with the B-3 zoning district) into an area greater than its current jurisdiction into an
area to be known as the Downtown Parking Management District to provide and implement a
system based approach to the active management of public parking resources; and,
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission recognizes on-street parking in areas
adjacent to Downtown Bozeman may be impacted by large, nearby, attractions such as retail,
education, health care, or other facilities, and the creation of a Bozeman Downtown Parking
Management District and subsequent Parking Benefit Zones will be an effective tool for actively
managing shared on-street parking resources between multiple stakeholders; and,
270
ORDINANCE NO. 2033
Page 2 of 9
WHEREAS, the implementation of Parking Benefit Zones aligns with the 2016
Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan which recommends that the City of Bozeman
‘explore changes to existing residential on-street parking permit programs and evaluate and
potentially implement new residential parking permit districts in the neighborhood north and south
of the downtown commercial district’; and,
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission, on April 15, 2019, adopted the 2019
Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan as a neighborhood plan under the City’s Community Plan
(the growth policy) pursuant to Resolution 5005, which states, “It is also important to manage on
street parking stalls to retain them for retail customers and locate long term employee parking off
Main Street. If utilization data shows ample availability in adjacent residential areas, there is the
potential to develop an employee paid parking permit system. This strategy is frequently
implemented in other communities as a parking benefit district.” And,
WHEREAS, a Parking Benefit Zone can maximize on-street parking opportunities for
resident and commuter parkers, facilitate visitor parking turnover, reduce the need for off-street
parking lots, encourage use of private shared parking agreements; and,
WHEREAS, the City Commission determines that should a Parking Benefit Zone be
created by the Parking Commission a portion of any funds remaining from the operation of the
Parking Benefit Zone, after all administrative and enforcement costs are covered, must be applied
to lower resident annual fees or make other direct investments in zone specific infrastructure
related to, among others, public transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, sidewalk, and curb
maintenance, etc.

BOZEMAN'IPorking ServicesMEMORANDUMDate: fune 7,2019To: Bozeman Parking CommissionFrom: Ed Meece, Parking Program ManagerRe: Spring 2019 Public Engagement Sessions (Parking Permit Districts)The Bozeman Parking Commission recently conducted three public engagement sessionsfor the purpose of soliciting input on a concept plan for the creation of 'Parking PermitDistricts' (ppU). Briefly -stated, a Parking Permit District utilizes a mix ofresidential/transient permits, as well as timed parking, to actively manage on'streetparking in areas -ú"." non-residential parking flows into a primarily residentialneighbãrhood.
