BACKGROUND: The Design Review Board (DRB) currently has two vacant Architect positions. One reapplication and one new application have been received. The DRB has one Landscape Architect/Designer and one Non-professional position vacancy. The Design Review Board is described in Division 18 of Chapter 2, Administration, Article 5, Boards and Commissions of the Bozeman Municipal Code. Members are appointed to staggered two-year terms. The DRB was established to evaluate aesthetic considerations of larger and more complex proposals which are likely to produce significant community impact and to provide recommendations regarding such proposals to the review authority, subject to the provisions of chapter 38. The DRB acts as an advisory body to the review authority for: Development applications meeting one or more of the thresholds of section 38.230.040.C.; Planned unit developments; and 240 Appeals from ADR decisions. The DRB may develop, and after adoption by the city commission, apply specific guidelines related to such concerns as architectural appearance, landscape design and signage for the construction and/or alteration of structures, sites or areas; When proposals for reuse, change in use or further development of a site are located in the neighborhood conservation overlay district, review by the DRB may be required to determine whether resubmittal as a new application is necessary in accordance with section 38.230.160.; The DRB may be requested to review the following development projects within the neighborhood conservation overlay district: new construction, alterations to existing structures, movement of structures into or out of the neighborhood conservation overlay district, or demolition of structures by any means or process in accordance with 38.340.A. The DRB must review any tax abatement or other incentive programs being considered by the city commission that are designed to stimulate preservation and rehabilitation of structures and properties with the neighborhood conservation district, and to review any proposed action or development utilizing these abatement or incentive programs in accordance with section 38.340.020. The DRB shall consist of six professional and two nonprofessional members. Professional members shall be degreed in their respective disciplines and/or otherwise licensed or certified by their respective professional authorities. An appointment to a term of service on the DRB is for two years. The professional contingent shall consist of three architects and at least one architectural historian, and at least one landscape architect or landscape designer. At least one of the professional members shall have demonstrated expertise in urban design.

No member of the DRB shall serve concurrently as a member of the planning board or zoning commission. A quorum of the DRB shall be four voting members and one of the members constituting the quorum must be an architect. In the event a quorum of the DRB may not otherwise be attained, the ADR staff may serve as alternates to prevent delay in project reviews. In selecting the members, the city commission shall give preference to residents of the city. However, where a qualified professional resident is not available to serve, the city commission may appoint a professional member who practices professionally, owns property or owns a 241 business within the city.

(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I am a licensed Architect and Creative Director at CLB Architects in the Bozeman office. In 2109, I relocated to Bozeman from Portland, Oregon after running and owning my own multi-discipline design firm for 6 years. Prior to that I was doing Global Design for Nike and I began my career post graduate school at CLB in Jackson. Many reasons brought us to Bozeman, the natural beauty, good schools, ease of life, but most importantly the community we saw from a bird's eye view. My husband and I are both architects, and not only did we see this amazing community, but also the amount of growth that the community is experiencing and how would would love to hep flourish, but also protect the city and the community that has welcomed us in with open arms. Being a woman in the field of architecture while simultaneously, having my most important job being a mother, would make me an excellent candidate alone for this position. In addition, my experience as a female business owner in a large city would also bring a different point of view.
