I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
I.A. Project Description
The Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park Planned Unit Development (PUD) is an infill
neighborhood that lies within the underlying Lowe’s & Saccoccia PUD. Arrowleaf Park &
Perennial Park project represents a diverse mixed-use neighborhood offering options for
multigenerational housing in a variety of building types, as well as family housing services,
early childhood education, and onsite health services. The overall design intent seeks to create
a mix of affordable rental options within a quality walkable neighborhood that fosters a sense of
community around shared recreation spaces in close proximity to jobs and services.
The proposed project includes twelve (12) buildings situated on the 12.776 acre site,
which lies within the B-2 Zoning District. This project site has numerous constraints
due to its unique shape and proximity to existing roadways and adjacent wetlands.
The proposed PUD will capitalize on these challenges and use the site’s attributes to
create a vibrant, diverse, and affordable neighborhood.
I.B. Purpose Statement
The Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park Design Guidelines are intended to aid owners, residents,
and employees of Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park in meeting the standards established
through the construction of this project. These guidelines therefore communicate the purpose
of the planning, design, and development of this neighborhood. These guidelines are further
established to promote long-term neighborhood quality, character, and affordability.
I.C. Relationship to Other Documents
Notwithstanding anything stated in the Design Guidelines, all future development or
redevelopment of the site is required to ensure that the proposed construction
complies with all laws, rules, and regulations, including without limitation those
established by the City of Bozeman, Montana, the County of Gallatin, Montana, the
Declaration, the International Building Code, and other applicable plumbing,
electrical, or building codes in effect for the City of Bozeman.
Any code provisions that are not specifically listed identified as PUD Relaxations do
not in any way create a waiver or other relaxation of lawful requirements of the
Bozeman Municipal Code or Montana State law. These guidelines may differ and, in
some instances, may be more restrictive than the Bozeman Unified Development
May 2020
Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park Design Guidelines
Design Guidelines - Pg. 5
Code. In the event there is a conflict between the Design Guidelines and any City
land use regulations, the more restrictive provision shall control.
In addition to these guidelines and the Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park PUD
approved relaxations (Appendix A), the underlying Lowe’s-Saccoccia PUD has
applicable relaxations and design guidelines and ‘Easements, Covenants, Conditions
& Restrictions’ (ECCRs). These documents have undergone updates as the PUD
was modified. The current Guidelines were submitted in 2005 and the current
ECCRs were amended and filed with the Clerk & Recorder in November of 2005
(Doc. No.’s 2207231 & 2207846). All of these documents are attached to these
guidelines (Appendices B - E).
1. Covenants & Bylaws
This project, contained within Phase 3 of the underlying Saccoccia PUD, is allowed
per the applicable Saccoccia and Lowe’s PUD Design Guidelines. The existing
governing documents for the underlying Saccoccia Planned Unit Development are to
be superseded by governing documents that apply exclusively to the Arrowleaf Park
& Perennial Park PUD. Moreover, the applicant is proposing future
condominiumization of this project site as allowed by the MCA. Therefore, the
attached to these draft Guidelines are draft governing documents and the possible
unit breakdown (Appendix F & G). These documents are to be amended and
resubmitted for review during the Final PUD.

II. NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN ELEMENTS
II.A. Theme & Applicability
These Guidelines shall inure to and pass with each component of the Arrowleaf Park &
Perennial Park PUD. Unless specifically excluded, these Guidelines shall apply to all property
within the Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park PUD. The residential building designs for Arrowleaf
Park & Perennial Park were submitted and approved by the City of Bozeman as part of the
PUD application and associated Master Site Plan. Variations, modification, additions, and
revisions to these Guideline are permitted in accordance with all Arrowleaf Park & Perennial
Park PUD and Saccoccia/Lowes PUD Relaxations. In the event that a variation, modification,
addition, or revision needs to occur, it shall not be permitted until specifications detailing the
nature, kind, design, dimension, shape, elevations, material, use, location and any other
information required to submit and have such changes approved by the City of Bozeman.
II.B. Site & Site Uses
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Sacco Drive and
Baxter Lane, generally on the northwest side of Bozeman. The project is located within the
Saccoccia Minor Subdivision in the NW 1/4 of Section 1, T2S R5E, Gallatin County. The total
project size is approximately 12.776 acres. The current land use is vacant/undeveloped. The
land within the project area slopes to the north and currently contains no existing structures.
Commercial development borders the west side of the project area, while residential
development borders the south side of the project area. The northern portion of the site is
bounded by the Saccoccia PUD retention pond parcel, while the eastern edge of the project
site lies adjacent to an undeveloped commercial parcel.
Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park is a mixed-use affordable housing community. The site is
dedicated to providing affordable housing options for renters in all stages of life. Furthermore,
this project is a mixed-use project, and includes an onsite Community Health Partners medical
and dental clinic, early childhood learning center, and a Family Promise aligned Day Center
providing services for homeless families.
II.C. Common Open Space
The onsite open space is as described in the approved plans and is to be managed as set
forth in the governing documents.
May 2020
Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park Design Guidelines
Design Guidelines - Pg. 7
II.D. Utilities & Service Areas
All water and sewer, electrical lines, utilities, transformers, and service areas are as described
in the approved PUD plans. No additional utility or service areas are allowed except as shown
in the approve plans for the Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park development. The onsite and site
adjacent easements are as described on the amended plat (Doc. No.___________).
II.E. Circulation & Parking
The proposed circulation system for the Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park project will comprise
of a hierarchy of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation; these will include dedicated
public roadways, private drives, sidewalks and an existing trail. The project is adjacent to three
roadways, including:
• Sacco Drive is built as a local street and is private street running north - south route that
lies to the west of the site.
• Tschache Lane is a local street running east-west the south of the site.
• Baxter Lane is a collector street running east-west to the north of the site.
Ownership and maintenance of the parking and circulation areas is as described in the
approved plans and governing documents.
II.F. Emergency Access
Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park has been designed with safety as a main concern. Providing
easy and efficient access to all buildings by emergency vehicles has been done with thoughtful
site layout. Entrances from both Tschache lane and Sacco Drive enable emergency vehicles
such as ambulances and fire trucks to move through the site without having to turn around as
well as give them access to fire hydrants strategically placed for easy access by vehicles and
residential units. All streets and parking areas have been designed to support heavy
emergency vehicles and ample open space for snow storage ensures them to be clear for
vehicles during the winter. Other measures have been taken to help reduce driving speed and
further ensure the safety of the residents.
II.G. Snow Storage
Snow storage has been provided as shown in the approved plans to ensure safe access
throughout the winter months. The storage has been designed to distribute snow throughout
the site to ensure space for accumulation and easy access. All common space and
landscaping has been planned with snow plowing to clear streets and common paths in mind.
All snow removal in common spaces will be provided by the governing documents.

Arrowleaf Park & Perennial Park Design Guidelines
Design Guidelines - Pg. 11
create a residentially scaled aesthetic. Building forms are visually broken down into
smaller masses through many articulation features such as intersecting roofs,
balconies, wall articulation, and changes in materials. The buildings share a common
aesthetic in order to create a consistent architectural language throughout the
residential portion of the site. The two commercial buildings along Tschache Lane
convey a more commercial feeling and are designed to provide welcoming public
entrance points both toward the street and internally toward driveways and parking
areas on the site.
