The 92 dwelling units are designed to be attainable by middle-income residents. In order to respond to the variety of building uses and sizes in the surrounding neighborhood, the development is organized into four residential buildings providing a broad set of housing types: affordable and market-rate apartments, townhouses, live- work units, and urban lofts. While 10% of the rental units (7 of the 68 rental units) will be set aside for those earning less than 60% AMI to help achieve the goals established in the city’s affordable housing ordinance, one of the guiding principles of the development is a focus on creating units that are affordable-by-design; with modest unit sizes, reduced parking demand, shared open space, and attractive common amenities; all in a walkable and bike-friendly neighborhood. The 30,182 GSF office building will attract mid-size commercial tenants looking for new or expanded space near the downtown district. The project supports the community’s desire for a local arts culture, and acknowledges the neighborhood’s industrial past by including 3,600 SF of artisan manufacturing workshops. Located primarily along the ground floor on Cottonwood Street, the workshops will activate the project’s open spaces, and encourage pedestrian activity along the street edge. A Public Mill Yard will occupy the center of the site, framed by the distinctive facade of the adjacent Misco Mill, and lined with commercial and residential uses to provide day and evening, weekday and weekend activation. We will be renovating the existing grain building (building 5) to provide for a small scale restaurant / cafe that will activate the Mill Yard throughout the day. The project will obtain site-wide certification under the LEED Neighborhood Development program. GOALS OF THE PROJECT 1. PROVIDE FOR DIVERSE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING 2. THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATE INTO THE EXISTING COMMUNITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD 3. PROMOTE BY EXAMPLE SUPERIOR URBAN DESIGN STRATEGIES COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 46 EXISTING CONDITIONS & HISTORY The property does not have a registered historic value; however, the project is attempting to preserve the existing structure on the Southwest corner of the site that is believed to have predated 1937 based on aerial images from that era. A search through Polk Directories dating back to 1935 did not turn up any commercial listing at this site. It is believed that the Misco Mill on the adjacent property was constructed at the height of the depression in 1934 and the grain bin storage shortly after that. Modified Historic Property record is provided in Appendix M. Below are the old ariel photographs along with current pictures of the property. ResourceTechnologiesInc.

The goal of the project is to create a development that responds to the unique character of the district and provides for the needs of the community at large. The NEHMU is a unique district characterized by a broad spectrum of uses from residential to industrial. In many ways, this district was the first mixed use neighborhood in Bozeman. Our proposal includes a mix of both residential and commercial activity that responds well to the variety of uses. Over time the neighborhood has evolved to include more service-oriented businesses and is now host to cafes and coffeeshops along with a strong pattern of residential uses. We are requesting a total of eight relaxations to achieve the project which are outlined below. RELAXATION 1: APARTMENT BUILDINGS AS AN ALLOWABLE USE • CODE PROVISION: 38.310.040 Authorized uses – Commercial, mixed-use and industrial • TABLE 38.310.040.C: Permitted residential uses in commercial, mixed-use, and industrial zoning districts We are requesting that apartment buildings be included in the allowable uses for this project. In an effort provide more affordable rental housing for the City of Bozeman we are looking to provide apartments as a primary use type within the NEHMU. Rationale: The need for market rate and affordable rentals in walkable neighborhoods is key to the future success and livability of Bozeman. The current zoning type (NEHMU) was developed long ago as a bridge between residential uses and industrial uses. Overtime the neighborhood has evolved to become more of a residential enclave hosting many homes, cafes and artists while keeping the unique manufacturing vibe. Our project hopes to build on these trends and provide more opportunities and variety for housing. The additional housing will make the opportunity for residents to work and live in the same neighborhood. The added housing will create the possibility to provide both affordable units as well as market rate options. • The current zoning allows for apartments as an accessory use and is permitted on the second floors of commercial uses. We feel that our approach will make a better connection to the street by allowing residences to occur on the ground floor, as well as the second and subsequent floors. Residential uses are permitted on the ground floor in other portions of the code for this district and thus this would be consistent with that. RELAXATION 2: SMALL SCALE RESTAURANTS INCREASE IN SIZE FROM 1500 TO 2200 SF • CODE PROVISION: 38.310.040 Authorized uses – Commercial, mixed-use and industrial • TABLE 38.310.040.C: Permitted residential uses in commercial, mixed-use, and industrial zoning districts We are requesting an increase in the area of small-scale restaurants allowed in the NEHUM from 1500 SF as noted in Table 38.310.040 from 1500 SF to 2200 SF(3,000 SF if outdoor seating space is included). Rationale: The current code provides for a maximum of 1500 SF for restaurant service area in the NEHMU. APPROVED RELAXATIONS COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 55 APPROVED RELAXATIONS CONTINUED We are redeveloping an existing historic grain building into a possible restaurant space and would like to utilize the entire building for a future restaurant. The building area is 2,175 SF and we have planned to have interior service area of 1200 SF and outdoor service area of up to 900 SF. While the space in the interior meets the current code limits, we would like to provide outdoor seating for patrons to enjoy the generous public plaza (Mill Yard) being created. It is understood that the outdoor seating would mostly be activated seasonally and concurrently with a greater amount of pedestrian / bike traffic. An objective of the Growth Policy is to provide for and support infill development that respects context of the existing development surrounding it. By preserving and reusing this historic building and completing the plaza space with a restaurant use it will attain many of the goals of the Growth Policy, and will produce a better outcome than the current code would have otherwise provided. RELAXATION 3: REDUCTION IN THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK • CODE PROVISION: 38.320.050 Form and Intensity standards - Non-residential and other mixed use districts • TABLE 38.320.050: zone type NEHMU - Front Setback The current zoning front setback requirement is listed as 20’ and the project seeks to allow for a 8’ setback around the entire site. This front setback is larger than the 8’ in many cases as the project has created public through ways into the site to access an internal public plaza space. Rationale: The intent of the project is first and foremost to create a vibrant street edge that responds to the conditions in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is marked by several historic homes and argi- industrial structures that were built long before setbacks were dictated in the zoning code. Because of this there is a tremendous variation of setbacks from the street edge in the neighborhood. Our mixed-use project is looking to develop at a pattern more consistent with urban standards to be more efficient with land use as well as create a stronger pedestrian experience. We are seeking the front yard setbacks be 10rather than the required 20’. The 20’ setbacks certainly set a more suburban standard and would not convey the same sense of pedestrian experience. Additionally, the properties along both Aspen (3’) and Cottonwood (10’) currently have setbacks around this 10’ dimension or less and we feel that the street edge pattern would be better served to match these relationships. RELAXATION 4: REDUCTION IN THE REQUIRED SIDE SETBACK TO ALLOW FOR ZERO LOT LINE CONDITION • CODE PROVISION: 38.320.050 Form and Intensity standards - Non-residential and other mixed- use districts • TABLE 38.320.050: zone type NEHMU - Side Setback The current zoning side setback requirement is listed as 3’ and we are requesting that zero lot line conditions are allowed per other zones identified in the BMC 38.320.050.C Table of Form and Intensity Standards. Adding allowance for zero lot lines to the NEHMU minimum setbacks required for the NEHMU for this PUD. Rationale: The setback reduction provides for the creation of separate lots on this unique mixed-use project. This separation only occurs between lots A and B for Building 3. It will appear to all passersby that COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 56 APPROVED RELAXATIONS CONTINUED there is in fact a 20’ separation between Building 2 on Lot A and Building 3 on Lot B. This is because the only portions of the buildings that exhibit the zero lot line condition are below grade at the parking garage level. All the appropriate easements and accesses will be reflected in the final lot boundary alignment. RELAXATION 5: INCREASE IN BUILDING HEIGHT • CODE PROVISION: 38.320.050 Form and Intensity standards - Non-residential and other mixed- use districts • TABLE 38.320.050: zone type NEHMU - Maximum building height The current building height in the district is 45’ (exclusive of elevator penthouses and parapets). While there are several historic buildings in the district that exceed this height limitation, it is our intent to achieve a building height only marginally higher than the 45’ and are requesting a maximum building height as described by code of 54’. Rationale: The project proposes a cluster of 3-story buildings on the perimeter of the 2-acre site and create landscaped podium level with parking hidden underneath. The effective building height from the podium level is near to or at 45’ for all buildings. These additional heights are needed to accommodate the parking level below the podium. The primary reason for this was to keep the parking structure out of the seasonal high-water table which is at 8’ below grade. The site naturally drops 4’ from the South to the North which provides a way to diminish the effects the below grade parking has. Building heights range throughout the project from 25’ to 54’ measured from the sidewalk level, with most of the street faces having approximately a 47’ height. RELAXATION 6: SEEKING AN INCREASE IN LOT COVERAGE FROM 40% TO 45% • CODE PROVISION: 38.320.050 Form and Intensity standards - Non-residential and other mixed- use districts • TABLE 38.320.050: zone type NEHMU - Lot Coverage The current zoning Maximum lot coverage (38.320.020.A) is 40% for primarily residential uses and 100% for primarily nonresidential uses. The project would be classified as primarily residential given that the bulk of the use square footage is programmed as residential. Specifically, 72% is residential and 26% is commercial use. The project is a requesting an increase in lot coverage from 40% to 45%. Rationale: The project has been thoughtfully designed to provide for a mix of uses on the site. Given that portions of the site are in fact commercial we feel that this additional lot coverage is minimal and any loss to the perceived open area that might have come with 5% less in lot coverage is more than made up for in the positive attributes of the design. The current site design is 41.4% lot coverage, however there may be some adjustments needed through the final design, thus the request of 45%. Additionally, a considerable amount of our site area is being dedicated for public access for the community to enjoy. RELAXATION 7: SEEKING A DECREASE IN BLOCK FRONTAGE TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT • CODE PROVISION: 38.510.030.C Landscape Block frontage standards COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 57 APPROVED RELAXATIONS CONTINUED The blockfrontage standards state that a “Landscaped” frontage adjacent for residential have a minimum transparency (percentage of glass) of 15%. We are requesting a relaxation to this for Building 2 (along the East face, Ida frontage) and Building 3 (on the North, facing the private residential plaza and on the South, facing the Cottonwood frontage). In all of these cases we are able to meet a 8% transparency requirement. We are requesting that the façade transparency requirement be 8% for these locations Rationale: The project has been thoughtfully designed to provide for privacy, views and quality pedestrian experience along the street and sidewalk edge. These buildings all contain residential uses and have allocated windows for views and privacy. Given the space planning requirements for the individual residential units, windows have been placed to correspond with floors plans and to maintain energy efficiencies. The well thoughtout landscape plan and site circulation has provided a quality pedestrian experience for the guest to the site, along with the residents. These reductions in transparency will produce a superior quality design for this project than would otherwise be found in the strict enforcement of the code. RELAXATIONS OR DEPARTURES FROM OTHER PORTIONS OF THE CODE RELAXATION 8: SEEKING A DECREASE IN BLOCK FRONTAGE TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT • CODE PROVISION: 38.510.030.B Storefront Block frontage standards The block frontage standards state in table 38.510.030.B that at least 60% of the ground floor area between 30” and 10’ above the sidewalk on primary facades be transparent/glazed. We are requesting a reduction to this such that a minimum of 30% is allowed. The project contains a couple of instances of this Building 4 along Cottonwood Street. Rationale: The project is designated as a mixed block front standard and as such we have addressed portions of the project as landscaped frontages and portions that more closely resemble storefront. In all cases, the very best design effort has been applied to ensure that the intent of the code is being met. In the case of Storefront standards the various buildings that this applies to are Building 4, and Building 5. Building 4 is intended to be for small “makers studio spaces” while other use may be appropriate this is the intent and to enhance these artist studios feel we have provided generous 8’ wide glass garage doors along with full glass entry doors for each of the studios. We feel that this approach will enhance the character of the district by encouraging artist appropriate spaces which are not necessarily spaces that have full glass across the front because much of the work in the process might not want to be on display. Building 4 provides 48% of the required transparency. The other instance where this occurs in on Building 5 which is quasi-historic grain building that has existing crib constructed walls on the North, West, and South. The North face in the one that faces the street and given the desire to preserve as much of these existing wood walls we needed to limit the amount of glass on this façade. The intended use for this building is that of a small café while having a larger percentage of glass along Cottonwood might be beneficial in this case the building also enjoys three other elevations that face public space that afford the needed transparency for the building’s occupants. Additionally, the pedestrian experience will not be sacrificed with the reduction in glass due in part the well-designed retrofit of this old building as well as the abundance of pedestrian plaza space that surround this building and project. This relaxation will produce a superior design and experiential outcome than would have otherwise been afforded with the COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 58 strict interpretation of the code as can be seen from the well thought out and unique designs of all of the buildings. RELAXATION 9: PARKING CALCULATION FOR RESIDENTIAL USES SPECIFICALLY FOR EFFICIENCY AND ONE-BEDROOM UNITS Division 38.540 Parking 38.540.050 Number of parking spaces required A. 1. Residential uses • CODE PROVISION: Table 38.540.050-1 EFFICIENCY DWELLING UNITS The current code utilizes a calculation for efficiency units at a rate of 1.25 parking spaces per efficiency unit. We are requesting a relaxation to this that is similar to other zoning districts in our community of 1 parking space per efficiency unit. ONE BEDROOM UNITS The code calculates the number of parking spaces for a one-bedroom unit at 1.5 parking spaces for each one- bedroom unit. We are requesting that a rate of 1.25 parking spaces for each one-bedroom unit which is also applied to other zoning districts in our community. Rationale: The mix and types of housing provide an opportunity to more critically study the parking allowances for this project. The project is mostly composed of 1 bedroom and efficiency units that range in size from as low as 315 SF up to 600 SF 1 bedroom units. These smaller units provide efficiency as well as a greater likely hood of a single occupant in most cases. The parking standards used elsewhere in the country and even within the City of Bozeman Standards allow for efficiency units to be counted at a factor of 1 and for one-bedroom units factored at 1.25. The location of this property within walking distance to many basic services, transit availability, car share and well-developed bike facilities will promote the use of alternate means of transportation other than a car. Additionally, creating other opportunities for commercial activities on site will allow for some residents to walk to work and not find the need for a car. The project is taking a progressive approach to design and planning that considers modern trends in housing and in car ownership. A recent study from Stanford University economist Tony Seba found that private car ownership will drop 80% by 2030. While this is a bit of a stretch for rural Montana, statistics are showing a general decline in car ownership and an increase in multimodal transportation options. RELAXATION 10: PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR NONRESIDENTIAL USES ADJUSTMENTS TO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS • CODE PROVISION: 38.540.050 Number of parking spaces required, A. 2. Non-residential uses • CODE PROVISION: Table 38.540.050-3 The current code provides for adjustments to minimum standards for parking in commercial zone types and provides a general percentage reduction based on the type of uses and whether or not it is in a mixed-use APPROVED RELAXATIONS CONTINUED COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 59 neighborhood. These reductions range from 10% to 50%. We are requesting a reduction to our nonresidential parking demand of 40%. This reduction is taken after the bike parking reduction on Building 6 and no further reductions will be added. Rationale: The current zoning district was the first mixed use designation for the City and one of the smallest. While it holds this distinction, it is also one of the most overlooked districts as changes and modifications have occurred elsewhere in the code to support mixed use neighborhoods. This district matches what a small-scale community commercial mixed-use district looks and performs like, hosting a variety of services, employment opportunities and housing. We are looking to apply the same standards that are found elsewhere in the code and a similar reduction found in the ITE standards for mixed use projects. These standards provide for a contemplated reduction in parking for nonresidential use in a mixed use neighborhood since many of the patrons and employees would likely live within walking distance and would not require as many parking spaces to accommodate them. Additionally, access to other forms of transportation including, car share, transit, and well-developed bike facilities will further promote the non- reliance on the automobile. Another practical application of this that is applied in the ITE is based on the actual hours of use based on each use type in a mixed use project. For instance ITE calculations show that the average weekday parking demand at its highest at 4:00 pm when both residential and nonresidential uses overlap 44% and 90% respectively. This would still only require a total of 124 spaces for the project, where we have collectively provided 200 spaces. This is a logical use of parking reductions that will provide greater opportunity for a successful mixed-use neighborhood. RELAXATION 11: PROVIDE FOR BACK OUT ANGLED PARKING ALONG THE COTTONWOOD STREET FRONTAGE • CODE PROVISION: UDC 38.400.050.A.1 The current code states that all streets shall meet the City of Bozeman current design standards and specifications policy and that the City of Bozeman Modifications ot the Montana Public Works Standards Specifications shall apply. These standards do not provide for back out angled parking along a local street. We are requesting that back out angled parking be allowed given that this will match the full existing full street section along Cottonwood. The owner’s association for the project will be responsible for snow removal for this portion of the street. Rationale: The existing street section along Cottonwood has back out angled parking along the South curb line. We are proposing to continue this condition along the North curb line in front of our project. The cohesiveness of the street section will be better served by having matching conditions along both sides of the street. Additionally, Cottonwood is not a through street in the sense that this portion of Cottonwood only runs for three blocks in the NEHMU. The street will function more as a parking street than a through street in this instance and will produce a superior design outcome than would otherwise be had with the strict enforcement of the code. All other conditions of street drainage and design specifications will be met with the final engineering design. As mentioned above the owner’s association will be responsible for the maintenance of the proposed parking area this will include the snow removal and maintenance of the parking surface area. This is noted in draft condominium documents.

SUPPORT ARTISTS AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC ART PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTIST RESIDENCES AND STUDIO SPACES AND INCORPORATING PUBLIC ART IN THE PLAZA SPACES WILL HELP TO SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS AND OVERALL IMPACT OF ART IN OUR COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZE IMPORTANCE OF BRIDGER VIEW SHED AND NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS BY KEEPING THE BUILDINGS ON THE PERIMETER TO A MAXIMUM OF 3 STORIES AND BREAKING UP THE BUILDINGS INTO SEVERAL SMALLER BUILDINGS RATHER THAN ONE LARGE ONE TO MAINTAIN VIEW ANGLES THROUGH THE SITE. PROMOTE SECURE PUBLIC OPENSPACES, POCKET PARKS, URBAN ROOMS, PLAZAS AND PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES THE PROJECT HAS OVER 20,000 SF OF PUBLIC PLAZA SPACES AND NEARLY A 1/4 MILE OF PEDESTRIAN WALKS THAT WILL BE IMPROVED WITH THIS PROJECT. ADDITIONALLY THE THROUGH CONNECTIONS ON SITE WILL INCREASE THE WALKABLITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ENCOURAGE THE INCLUSION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THE PROJECT PROVIDES 7.6% OF THE UNITS AT AFFORDABLE RATES AND THE BALANCE OF UNITS ARE INTENDED TO BE ATTAINABLE AT 65% AMI. THE GOAL OF BOTH AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING IS AT THE CENTER OF THIS PROJECT AND WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS PROVIDING THE NEEDED HOUSING STOCK FOR BOZEMAN. CREATE A BROAD RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES THE PROJECT INCLUDES A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES AND SIZES, FROM 2 BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE FL ATS, AS WELL AS 2 BEDROOM, 1 BEDROOM, STUDIO AND EFFICIENCY APARTMENT UNITS. THIS RANGE WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF A VERY BROAD DEMOGRAPHIC AND KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD VIBRANT. NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN AND HUMAN SCALE THE PROJECT FINDS THE RIGHT BALANCE OF THE NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE HOUSING, OFFICES, AND ARTIST SPACES WHILE KEEP THE SCALE OF THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROVIDES A HUMAN SCALE. THIS IS DONE BY KEEPING BUILDING HEIGHTS TO THREE STORIES, PLACING PARKING UNDERGROUND, AND BREAKING THE BUILDINGS INTO SMALL CLUSTERS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE HUMAN SCALE. STRATEGICALLY INVEST IN URBAN RENEWAL THE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF THE NORTHEAST URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT AND THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT SEVERAL OF THE CONDITIONS OF BLIGHT AND THE MUCH NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE COMPLETED. THIS WILL PROMOTE THE LONG TERM GOALS OF THE DISTRICT AND CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEEDS OF THE CITY. COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 61 PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES PUDP Checklist 14 E. Explanation for each of the Community Design Objectives and criteria in Section 38.430.090.E SECTION 38.430.090.E DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND PUD CRITERIA A. ALL DEVELOPMENT 1. Does the development comply with all city design standards, requirements and specifications for the following services: water supply, trails / walks / bike ways, sanitary supply, irrigations companies, fire protections, electricity, flood hazard areas, natural gas, telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets? Yes - all services and systems conform to the latest building codes adopted by the City of Bozeman Building Department. Standard services including water, sanitary supply, fire protection meet the current standards and codes issued by the City of Bozeman. Trails, walkways and bikeways have been provided both onsite as well as logical connections to the surrounding neighborhood networks. 2. Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation? N/A - there are not significant existing natural vegetation features to be preserved. The current site conditions have about 45% of the site covered with building or paved surface and the unpaved areas have unmaintained weeds and bushes. The project will have less solid surface lot coverage and will have extensive landscaping. These are 6 trees that will need to be removed to accommodate the podium construction. Over 30 new trees will be planted on site with this project. 3. Are the elements of the site plan (e.g. Buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to produce an efficient, functionally organized and cohesive planned unit development? Yes - the layout of the buildings and placement of the plaza provide for open and direct connections across the site, and efficient circulation for both the residents and the public. 4. Does the arrangement of elements of the site plan (e.g. Building construction, orientation, and placement; transportation networks; selection and placement of landscape materials; and/ or use of renewable energy sources; etc.) Contribute to the overall reduction of energy use by the project? Yes - this infill project contributes to the overall reduction of energy, as does the walkability of the site plan and street edges. These have further been reinforced through the LEED Neighborhood Design Status we will achieve through this development. 5. Are the elements of the site plan (e.g. Buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to maximize privacy of the residents of the project? Yes - special consideration has been given to the various types of dwelling units to provide both privacy and accessibility. Ground level units will incorporate private outdoor spaces that will function as a privacy screen from other at grade activities. The second and third floor COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 62 PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES CONTINUED units afford privacy due to their placement above grade. Each building is designed to maximize privacy while encouraging interaction with the other residents and community members through plaza spaces and shared roof decks. 6. Parkland - Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the site configuration and has the area of parkland or open space been provided for each proposed dwelling as required by Section 38.420.020? Yes - we have provided all the open space and parkland required by the code. The primary organizing factor and key design goal was to create common public spaces that invite activity for residents, office users and neighborhood denizens to enjoy. We have accomplished this through the thoughtful arrangements of buildings - creating open spaces that vary in scale and character across the site. These include public plazas, private residential plazas, private personal outdoor spaces and balconies, and shared roof decks. 7. Performance - All PUDs must earn at least 20 performance points. Yes - we have achieved 58 points for the project. For specifics, see Section 3.04, page 44-45 of this document. 8. Is the development being properly integrated into the development and circulation patters of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated “pad” to adjoining development? Yes - the project will create new connections to the neighborhood through the construction of upgraded street networks and sidewalks. The public plaza spaces will afford access and views through the site further connecting the project to the neighborhood. SECTION 38.430.090.E DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND PUD CRITERIA A. MIXED USE Planned unit developments in mixed-use areas (REMU, UMU, and NEHMU Zoning Districts) may include commercial, light industrial, residential and mixes of various primary and accessory uses. The types or combination of the uses are determined based upon its merits, benefits, potential impact upon adjacent land uses and intensity of development. 1. Is the project substantially consistent with the intent and purpose statements for the underlying zoning district? Yes - The underlying zoning is NEHMU, the “intent of this area is to allow private and case-by- case determination of the most appropriate use of land in a broad range of both non-residential and residential uses.” Additionally, “The unique qualities and nature of the area are not found COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 63 PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES CONTINUED elsewhere in the city and should be preserved as a place offering additional opportunities for creative integration of land uses.” This project is very consistent with this intent. We include a range of housing types, and a range - and type - of commercial activity consistent with the zoning. 2. Is the project located adjacent or within proximity to an arterial or collector street that provides access to the site? Yes - The property is located 300 feet from Peach Street (Collector) and 300 feet from Tamarack Street (Collector) and 900+/- feet from Rouse Ave which is designated as a Principal Arterial in the City street network. 3. Is the project on at least two acres of land? Yes - 2.01 acres 4. Do the uses relate to each other in terms of location within the PUD, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, architectural design, utilization of common open space and facilities, streetscapes etc.? Yes 5. Does the overall project exceed the FAR “floor area ratios” envisioned for the underlying zoning district? N/A - none specified for the NEHMU district. The F.A.R. for this project is 1.8 6. Is it compatible with and does it reflect the unique character of the surrounding area? Yes - The character of the surrounding area has a mix of residential and commercial activity. There are two- and four-story mixed-use residential projects, a 70 feet repurposed grain elevator, metal warehouse buildings, historic brick buildings and single-family homes. We strove to develop a mass and scale that is consistent with this while being able to provide opportunities for more affordable units. The use of materials and unique architecture further reinforces the character of the district. 7. Is there direct vehicular and pedestrian access between on-site parking areas and adjacent existing or future offsite parking areas that contain more than 10 spaces? Yes - the project will lease parking spaces on an adjacent site which will have more than 10 spaces (72 spaces). Additionally, given that this project is surrounded on three sides by public streets creates direct connections both vehicular and pedestrian with the surrounding neighborhood. 8. Does the project encourage infill, or does the project otherwise demonstrate compliance with the land use guidelines of the Bozeman Growth Policy? COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 64 PUD COMMUNITY DESIGN OBJECTIVES CONTINUED Yes - The project is exemplary of infill, it is taking an underutilized warehouse / brownfield site and redeveloping it to include a mix of both residential uses and commercial activity that will efficiently use the surrounding infrastructure. 9. Does the project provide for outdoor recreational areas (such as urban plazas, courtyards, landscaped areas, open spaces, or urban trails) for the use and enjoyment of those living in, working in or visiting the development? Yes - The project has provisions for urban plazas, courtyards, landscaped areas, access to off site open spaces and trails. See Landscape. 10. Does the project provide for private outdoor areas (e.g. private setbacks, patios and/or balconies etc.) for use by the residents and employees of the project which are sufficient in size and have adequate light, sun, ventilation, privacy and convenient access to the household or commercial units they are intended to serve? Yes - per the UDC the project has provided private outdoor spaces, patios and balconies per code for use by both commercial units and residential units. 11. Does the project provide outdoor areas for use by persons living and working in the development for active or passive recreational activities? Yes - The uses contemplated in this project would be more passive recreation in nature, however the project is located along a trail system that connects to the Story Mill Park which offers many active recreational opportunities. 12. Is the overall project designed to enhance the natural environment, conserve energy and provide efficient public services and faculties? Yes - The very nature of infill development and specifically this project achieving LEED ND Standards provides further evidence of the project’s commitment to conserving energy and preserving the natural environment. 13. If the project is proposing a residential density bonus as described below, does it include a variety of housing types and urban styles design to address the community-wide issues of affordability and diversity of housing stock? N/A - No density bonuses are proposed - however we meet housing diversity and affordability metrics. 14. Residential Density bonus. N/A - The project is not proposing any residential density bonuses.

The Cottonwood and Ida Mixed-Use project contains the residential and commercial uses currently allowed, and promotes diverse land-uses that remain sensitive to the neighborhood context. While apartment buildings are not specifically permitted in the district, residential units are allowed on the second and subsequent floors above commercial spaces. The zoning code further states that the “standards for buffering between different land uses are deliberately not as high as standards elsewhere in the community as it is assumed that persons choosing to locate in this area are aware of the variety of possible adjacent land uses and have accepted such possibilities as both acceptable and desirable.” The project responds to existing conditions by placing denser commercial activity closer to the commercial office and shop spaces on surrounding blocks. Additionally, lower-scale residential units on the site (Building 3 Townhouse-style units) are located across the street from other single-family scaled residences. Other steps have been taken to reduce the overall mass and scale of this project by placing parking underground and, in place of surface parking, providing public open spaces to foster connections to the community. ESTIMATED NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES FOR BUSINESSES The project contains three primary types of commercial spaces. The first is a more traditional office format in Building 6, located at the Northwest corner of the site, where there are three levels of open-plan office. These spaces could be divided to host smaller tenants, however the intent is to lease the majority of the building to one or two primary tenants. The second type of commercial space is one we are classifying as “maker spaces” in Building 4. These would be smaller spaces where creatives could maintain a studio to showcase their work, or where a digital start-up could find an affordable foothold. Third, there is an opportunity for a small scale cafe located in building 5 on the Plaza. This would likely be a place that provides small dining opportunities for the office and makers as well as residents throughout the day. Below is a matrix of spaces and uses, along with estimates of the number of employees. EMPLOYEES COMMERCIAL OFFICE EMPLOYEES 81 ARTISAN MANUFACTURING EMPLOYEES 6 GENERAL PROPERTY MANAGER 1 SMALL SCALE CAFE 6 TOTAL 94 DESIGN METHODS TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION The site planning will be certified by the US Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Neighborhood Development (LEED ND). The project is being planned, designed, engineered and constructed to yield a development that makes much more efficient use of land and resources than land-use patterns typical for the region - thus reducing overall energy consumption. In addition to the overall site planning, strategies will be employed in the individual buildings to reduce energy consumption and promote long-term sustainable practices across the project - including low- flow plumbing fixtures, high-performance windows, energy efficient appliances, low-voltage lighting, and onsite recycling facilities. COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 69 RATIONALE FOR CHOICES MADE BY THE APPLICANT From the early planning stages of the project we insisted that it contribute a solution for the shortage of affordable housing in Bozeman. Traditionally, more affordable housing has been pushed to the newer parts of town, with the older neighborhood becoming more and more gentrified. We see an opportunity to keep affordable housing options in the NEHMU District, taking advantage of the existing infrastructure and established neighborhoods surrounding the site. We also believe that the project needs to accommodate more than one demographic, and have included a broad range of unit types to promote a mix of age and income levels on the site. The project has also very intentionally approached the need to provide commercial uses in this mixed- use neighborhood so that there are opportunities for individuals to live close to where they may work. The hope is that both residents of the site and the surrounding neighborhood will be able to bike or walk to work. We have planned the site and the structures as a distinct micro-urban context, with individual residents living and working on-site, with inviting places for them to gather and enjoy the interactions of daily life. We have provided extensive public open spaces and landscaped courtyards to serve this purpose, and have intentionally created an open and accessible site. The unique aesthetic qualities of this district also compelled the project to respond in a unique manner, exploring architectural styles that respond to both the industrial and residential context. COTTONWOOD + IDA PUDF SUBMITTAL || APRIL 2019 page 70 The Northeastern Neighborhood is host to a diverse, active set of residents, heavily invested in preserving their community’s unique identity, and intent on engaging with projects as they develop in the area. In April 2017, the neighborhood hosted a Regional and Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT) workshop to gather community input on future development in the Northeastern Neighborhood. The team’s report provided a great deal of guidance as we established the project goals, developed a site strategy, and formulated the relationships to the streets and surrounding properties. FROM THE R/UDAT REPORT CHARACTER: “The community told the team that the neighborhood is ‘funky.’ The neighborhood’s character is authentic and unique in the context of Bozeman. It is a real place. The community also put intense value on the eclectic identity of the area and its mix of uses – a quality that is embraced and celebrated. The Northeast Neighborhood is also made up of creative and artistic people who value its diversity and freedom of self-expression. The neighborhood was widely described as livable, both for its adjacency to downtown and the quality of life it provides to the people who work and live here.” STREETS: “One of the most widely shared ideas on future improvements concerned the need to better connect existing assets throughout the neighborhood and make its streets more friendly to pedestrians and bicyclists.” DIVERSITY & AFFORDABILITY: “Two manifold interests emerged as important. The first is the preservation and strengthening of the unique sense of place in the neighborhood and its contributing components. The second characteristic is the accessible and affordable housing proposition that has traditionally prevailed in the neighborhood, and the value that affordability has in producing a diverse neighborhood that can support creative professionals and working families.” HISTORIC TRAIN DEPOT NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY MISCO MILL CAFE BAKERY N.

Immediately to the West of the site is the historic Misco Mill (now housing a high-end furniture maker) and small collection of industrial buildings - currently being used as a pottery studio. The East Aspen St. Right of way - to the North of the site - is currently closed to traffic, and provides an open green space with benches and a walking trail. There are no sidewalks around the street edges of the site, but there are potential pedestrian connections across Cottonwood Street to the nearby cafe and bakery. Downtown is 3/4 of a mile South as well, providing relatively direct pedestrian and biking connections. Outdoor recreation areas to the North and Northeast of Bozeman are also readily accessible. The lower levels of the project will offer views to the Northeast and Southeast. Upper floors gain views across Bozeman to the Southwest, and up the Gallatin River Valley to the Northwest. The site design responds to the variety of scales and land-use on adjacent properties by placing smaller-scale townhouse-style units across from the single-family neighbors to the East, while the larger masses of the office building and apartment building sit closer to the large industrial and warehouse buildings to the North. Buildings along Cottonwood conform to the scale and character of the recent multi- family developments to the South of the site. Pedestrian connections and through-block passages occur on the South and Northeastern portions of the site, while the vehicle traffic is directed Northwest to Wallace Avenue. FROM THE R/UDAT REPORT “The Core is the central portion of the R/UDAT project area and is an eclectic mix of light industrial buildings intermingled with small cottages, walking paths and historic sites. The look and feel of the core is central to how the resident’s see themselves. Developing a strategy for defining and protecting the Core is essential to maintaining the residents cultural connection to the city’s history as well as their neighborhood identity as a ‘funky,’ creative, and diverse place to live, work and play.” WALLA C E A V E AERIAL FROM THE SOUTHEAST IDA A V E C O T T O N W O O D S T PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION PROPOSED VEHICLE CONNECTION ALLEYWAY ALIGNMENT VIEW SHEDS ASPEN STREET R.O.W.
