ORDINANCE NO. 2042
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA AMENDING TABLE 38.560.060 OF THE BOZEMAN MUNICIPAL CODE
TO AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL SIGN AREA ADJACENT TO ALLEYS AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman (the “City”) has adopted land development and use
standards to protect public health, safety and welfare and otherwise execute the purposes of Section
76-2-304, MCA; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted Resolution 5005 adopting the Downtown Bozeman
Improvement Plan as a neighborhood plan under the growth policy; and
WHEREAS, the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan recommends increasing
commercial activities accessed via the alleys; and
WHEREAS, the City encourages infill development. Most existing alleys are located in
infill areas. Businesses adjacent to alleys may only have access via the alley and require
opportunity to advise the public to their location consistent with the balancing of interests
identified in 38.560.010. Development in new areas may also have alleys and such areas should
have the same opportunities for signs as infill areas; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interests of the City and public welfare to modify the allowance
for sign area adjacent to alleys.
