EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
There are no known unresolved issues.
Project Summary
This report is based on the application materials submitted and any public comment received to
date.
The property owner and applicant made application to develop the vacant property on the west
side of Cottonwood Road, north of Oak Street and near the new Gallatin High School. The
application proposes the subdivision of 146.21 acres into fifteen developable lots (28.37 acres),
fifteen restricted development lots (95.95 acres), city park (16.55 acres), easements, and rights of
way (5.34 acres).
The subject property was annexed to the City on June 25, 2019 and initial zoning was adopted on
July 15, 2019 as Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU), and B-2M (Community Business
District – Mixed). A Master Site Plan application no. 19440, as required by REMU zoning, was
approved by the Director of Community Development on December 22, 2020. The property is
currently unoccupied and has been historically used for agriculture. Two watercourses are
present on the property, running north-south, with associated wetlands.
This subdivision is not required to provide affordable housing as no lots for market rate homes
are proposed. All developable lots within this subdivision will require further development
review and public notice prior to building permit issuance. The master site plan shows an
expected mix of uses in phase 1 with 15-acres of primarily commercial development and the
remaining platted lots to be used for multi-household development. The subdivision provides a
mix of uses in compliance with REMU and B-2M zoning.
The subdivision proposed 16.55 acres of city park lots primarily adjacent to the Baxter Ditch
watercourse. The park, named Homestead Park, is divided into 3 separate park parcels, each
spanning the long central blocks of the development, providing long segments of trail. Park
Parcel 1 meets the intent of Linear Parks within the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails
Plan (PROST), Parcels 2 and 3 meet frontage requirements for dedicated park. A combination of
improvements-in-lieu of Parkland and Land dedication is required with each subsequent phase of
development. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board has recommended approval of the
subdivision and the parks master plan for the development with recommended conditions of
approval with review of the Master Site Plan on October 27, 2020.
The subdivision proposed an unknown number of phases with 28.37 acres of the development
occurring in phase 1 including two lots for multi-household development and 13 lots for
primarily commercial development. The commercial corner of the subdivision will serve as the
neighborhood center. 15 restricted development lots requiring further subdivision prior to
8
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 3 of 39
development make up the balance of the subdivision and phasing will occur as applications are
received.
The final decision for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with less than 50 lots must be made
within 60 working days of the date it was deemed adequate. The Development Review
Committee (DRC) deemed the application adequate for continued review on January 19, 2021.
Pursuant to BMC 38.240.130 the city commission shall approve, conditionally approve or deny
the subdivision application by March 21, 2021, unless there is a written extension from the
developer, not to exceed one year.
No written public comment has been received.
The public hearing date for the City Commission was February 2, 2021. The hearing was held
virtually via Webex.
The City Commission met to consider the application for a preliminary plat subdivision of
146.21 acres into fifteen developable lots zoned B-2M and REMU, fifteen restricted
development lots, city park, easements, and associated right of way.
Addi Jadin, Parks Planning and Development Manager, presented the Master Park Plan under
this application and the Master Site Plan #19440, previously approved by the Director of
Community Development. Danielle Garber, Associate Planner, presented the preliminary plat
staff report and application.
Following the presentation, questions to staff from the Commissioners were related to including
the watercourse and wetlands within the park boundaries, the floodplain delineation,
groundwater mitigation, potential historic resources, park dedication and cash-in-lieu
requirements, and suggestions for including off-leash areas for dogs within the proposed park.
The Applicant had two representatives at the meeting, Matt Ekstrom with Morrison-Maierle and
Kelley Savage with Norris Design. The representative, Matt Ekstrom, thanked staff for the
complete and accurate staff report for the Subdivision, and stated that the applicant is in
agreement with the staff report and the conditions of approval and code provisions as written.
The applicant expanded on some previous questions related to drain tiles and water management.
Three members of the public spoke at the public hearing. General public comment was focused
on the alteration of natural systems by the historic agricultural uses and future development,
specifically the watercourse, wetlands, climate impacts, and wildlife. Staff provided some
clarifying points related to survey of the wetland and drain tiles.
The Commission moved to approve the Park Master Plan. This motion is located on page 1 of
the City Commission Memorandum provided by the Parks Department and included in the
February 2, 2021 hearing packet. Commissioners voted unanimously 4-0 to approve the adoption
of the Park Master Plan. Discussion included preservation of the watercourse and wetlands, and
the potential inclusion of off-leash facilities for dogs.

The Commission moved to approve the subdivision with conditions and subject to all applicable
code provisions. The motion is located on page 1 of this report. Commissioners voted
unanimously 4-0 to approve the preliminary plat application. Discussion included the subdivision
review criteria including impacts to agriculture and agricultural water user facilities, the
improvement and extension of infrastructure to serve the development, the park master plan, off-
leash dog park possibilities, and the effect on the environment. Commissioners noted the
inclusion of a commercial node on the west side of town to serve existing and future residents, as
well as High School students. Further discussion was related to providing additional housing
within city limits.

1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or

applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items. This alternative is
requested if the Commission wishes to amend or add conditions of approval.

provided has not been approved. The City’s Floodplain Coordinator has provided the
following comments:
24
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 19 of 39
a. The report finds that floodwater could reach elevations in proposed lots based on existing
topography. To mitigate the flood hazard due to existing topography, the report
recommends fill be placed to keep the floodwater contained within the confines of the
outer 20’ of the wetland setback.
b. Neither the flood hazard report nor the drainage report provide any information for sizing
the stream crossings for the internal subdivision roads. These reports need to be updated
to size the internal road culvert crossings. The hydraulics of the internal crossings feeds
back to the flood report in that fill locations (including roads) and crossing capacities
needs to be accounted for in producing the proposed floodplain area. It is recommended
that the crossings be sized to pass the flood discharge without overtopping the roadway.

SECTION 5 - RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTIONS
The DRC determined that the application is adequate for continued review and found that
application conforms to standards and is sufficient for approval with conditions and code
provisions on January 19, 2021.
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board reviewed and recommends approval of the proposed
subdivision and parks master plan as outlined in the application and with the conditions and code
provisions in this report.
The Planning Board conducted a public hearing on the related subdivision and voted
unanimously 7-0 to recommend approval of the application to the City Commission. The public
hearing date for the Planning Board was January 25, 2021 at 6:00 PM via WebEx. Staff
presented the staff report to the Board. There was a question to staff related to the revised zoning
boundary between the B-2M and REMU areas of the subject property approved with Master Site
Plan Application no. 19440 and alignment with the growth policy designations. Questions of the
applicant involved the groundwater mitigation, and the proposed local street sections and bike
lane widths in different areas of the development. There was some concern that the applicant’s
proposed wider local street section adjacent to the B-2M commercial areas along Harvest
Parkway would reduce safety and encourage users in vehicles to disregard speed limits. Mr.
Egge stated that the City has a complete streets policy and adopted standards in regard to bike
lanes and bike lane widths. Griffin Nielsen, the City’s reviewing engineer for this project
clarified that proposed street section design proposed with this application is conceptual and will
27
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 22 of 39
be further evaluated during infrastructure review prior to construction and final plat. Mr.
Rudnicki made the motion to recommend approval stating that the project complies with the
stated growth goals of the City. Mr. Pape seconded. Mr. Egge spoke further in discussion and
proposed to amend the recommendation that the applicant is required to provide bike lanes
according to American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
standards as detailed in Section 38.400.110.E. The amendment to the motion passed
unanimously 7-0. Mr. Pape discussed his second in support of the original motion stating that
when he looks at these projects he is always asking if they are serving the needs of the
community, and at this time of imminent need, hopefully a project like this will relieve some
housing strain. The motion to recommend approval passed 7-0 with the additional
recommendation that the applicant be required to develop bike lanes to the adopted AASHTO
standards.
Staff discussed this recommendation with the City’s engineering staff reviewing this application
during the preparation of the staff report. Engineering staff clarified that adherence to the
AASHTO standards is already stated in the cited code section and will be reviewed when the
applicant provides the infrastructure plan as required in code provision #3.
The Planning Board proceedings may be viewed here under the date January 25, 2021:

The public hearing date for the City Commission was February 2, 2021. The hearing was held
via Webex.
Addi Jadin, Parks Planning and Development Manager, presented the Master Park Plan under
this application and the Master Site Plan application #19440, previously approved by the
Director of Community Development. Danielle Garber, Associate Planner, presented the
preliminary plat staff report and application.
Following the presentation, questions to staff from the Commissioners were related to including
the watercourse and wetlands within the park boundaries, the floodplain delineation,
groundwater mitigation, potential historic resources, park dedication and cash-in-lieu
requirements, and suggestions for including off-leash areas for dogs within the proposed park.
The Applicant had two representatives at the meeting, Matt Ekstrom with Morrison-Maierle and
Kelley Savage with Norris Design. The representative, Matt Ekstrom, thanked staff for the
complete and accurate staff report for the Subdivision, and stated that the applicant is in
agreement with the staff report and the conditions of approval and code provisions as written.
The applicant expanded on some previous questions related to drain tiles and water management.
Three members of the public spoke at the public hearing. General public comment was focused
on the alteration of natural systems by the historic agricultural uses and future development,
specifically the watercourse, wetlands, climate impacts, and wildlife. Staff provided some
clarifying points related to survey of the wetland and drain tiles.

The Commission moved to approve the Park Master Plan. This motion is located on page 1 of
the City Commission Memorandum provided by the Parks Department and included in the
February 2, 2021 hearing packet. Commissioners voted unanimously 4-0 to approve the adoption
of the Park Master Plan. Discussion included preservation of the watercourse and wetlands, and
the potential inclusion of off-leash facilities for dogs.
The Commission moved to approve the subdivision with conditions and subject to all applicable
code provisions. The motion is located on page 1 of this report. Commissioners voted
unanimously 4-0 to approve the preliminary plat application. Discussion included the subdivision
review criteria including impacts to agriculture and agricultural water user facilities, the
improvement and extension of infrastructure to serve the development, the park master plan, off-
leash dog park possibilities, and the effect on the environment. Commissioners noted the
inclusion of a commercial node on the west side of town to serve existing and future residents, as
well as High School students. Further discussion was related to providing additional housing
within city limits.

SECTION 6 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, and plans, public comment, and all other materials available during
the review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis is a
summary of the completed review.
Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.130.A.5.b, BMC.
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The preliminary plat has been prepared in accordance with the survey requirements of the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Montana. As
noted in recommended condition of approval 2, the final plat must comply with State statute,
Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code. A conditions of approval
sheet must be included and updated with the required notations can be added as required by
conditions or code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the BMC. The applicant
is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically listed as a
29
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 24 of 39
condition of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful
requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3 and 4 of this report identify
conditions and code corrections necessary to meet all regulatory standards. Therefore, upon
satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will comply with the local
subdivision regulations.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of
the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The application was received on April 22, 2020 and was deemed inadequate for further review on
May 29, 2020. Revised application materials were received on August 10, 2020, December 2,
2020, and January 19, 2021. The City deemed the application adequate for review on December
January 19, 2021. Public hearings were scheduled for January 25, 2021 and February 2, 20201
The hearings before the Planning Board and City Commission have been properly noticed as
required by the Bozeman UDC. Based on the recommendation of the DRC and other applicable
review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the Planning Board must
forward a recommendation in a report to the City Commission who will make the final decision
on the applicant’s request.
The final decision for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat with less than 50 lots must be made
within 60 working days of the date it was deemed adequate. Pursuant to BMC 38.240.130 the city
commission shall approve, conditionally approve or deny the subdivision application by March
21, 2021, unless there is a written extension from the developer, not to exceed one year.
Public notice for this application was given as described in Appendix C and no comment was
received as of the issuance of this staff report.
On January 20, 2021 the major subdivision staff report was completed and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval for consideration by the Planning Board.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Based on review of the Development Review Committee and the Department of Community
Development all applicable regulations are met if all code requirements are satisfied. Pertinent
code provisions and site specific requirements are included in this report for City Commission
consideration in Sections 3 and 4.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and
installation of any necessary utilities
The final plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements.
Condition of approval 7 requires that all easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately
depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities will be
located within dedicated street right of ways. Code provision #9 states where the sewer system is
located outside of the proposed right of way for Phase 1, a City standard sewer easement must be
provided. Access must be provided to all sanitary sewer lines and manholes
30
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 25 of 39
Ten foot front yard utility easements are depicted on the preliminary plat and are proposed to be
granted with the final plat in accordance with standards.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and
the notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the
parcel
The final plat will provide legal and physical access to each parcel within the developable area of
the phase 1 subdivision. Local streets (Harvest Parkway, Rosa Way, Twin Lakes Avenue,
Wellspring Drive, and Dayspring Avenue) are proposed to provide access to all lots within the
phase 1 subdivision. Cottonwood Road, and West Oak Street both arterials, provides access to the
subdivision from all directions. All of the proposed lots have frontage to a public street. Physical
access to each lot is proposed via public streets and/or a public access and utility easement through
Blocks 1 and 2. The final plat musts contain a statement requiring lot accesses to be built to the
standards contained in this section, the city design standards and specifications policy, and the city
modifications to state public works standard specifications per BMC requirements.
Primary Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 76-3-608
1) The effect on agriculture
This subdivision will not impact agriculture. The subject property is designated as residential and
commercial according to the City of Bozeman Community Plan. The area is zoned for residential
mixed use high density development, and community business. The site is historically used for
grazing and irrigated crops, but the home and agricultural buildings are all vacant.
2) The effect on Agricultural water user facilities
This subdivision will not impact agricultural water user facilities. Two main watercourses exist
on site, Baxter Creek and Baxter Ditch and have been traditionally used to irrigate the subject
property. Wetlands exist adjacent to the watercourses and are preliminarily determined to be
jurisdictional, although no United States Army Corps of Engineers review has yet been
conducted. A series of culverts is proposed to allow roadways to be developed over top of the
water resources without inhibiting flow or downstream users. Code provision #11B requires
proper sizing of road culvert crossings to pass flood discharge without overtopping the roadway.
No lateral ditches related to Farmers Canal are affected by this proposed subdivision.
3) The effect on Local services
Water/Sewer – Water capacity exists to serve the subdivision. A municipal water main must be
extended north along Cottonwood Road to serve the subdivision. There is an existing main along
West Oak Street, and eventually a new main in the future Laurel Parkway, and a new main along
Baxter Lane will create a looped system. The subdivider proposes to extend water and sewer
mains within all local and collector streets within the subdivision. Code provision #9 requires a
city standard sewer easement where the sewer system is located outside of the proposed right of
way for phase 1. Code provision #3 requires the applicant to submit plans for water and sewer
main extensions, approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, to be
31
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 26 of 39
reviewed by the City. Building permits will not be issued prior to city acceptance of site
infrastructure improvements, unless concurrent construction is requested and conditions allow.
Capital improvements are currently in progress to expand wastewater capacity serving the
subject property via the Norton East Ranch Outfall and Davis Lane Lift Station. Code provision
#7 requires the projects be complete prior to final plat approval, and code provision #8 is also
related to wastewater capacity. Water rights exist for the subject property, the applicant proposes
to transfer to City ownership existing water rights. Code provision #10 requires the applicant and
the City to enter into an agreement containing provisions for water rights ownership transfer
prior to final plat approval.
Streets – The Growth Policy and subdivision standards require adequate connectivity of the
street grid to ensure sufficient infrastructure to serve the needs of the public and alleviate
congestion. The preliminary plat for the phase 1 layout extends local streets (Rosa Way, Twin
Lakes Avenue, and Harvest Parkway) through the subdivision in accordance with block length
standards and provisions to extend streets to undeveloped land. New local streets (Wellspring
Drive, and Dayspring Avenue) will be created to serve internal lots. Cottonwood Road is
required to be constructed to the phase 1 boundary with final plat. Code provision #5 states that
the development is responsible for the local share of Cottonwood road. The developer has
requested to pay cash-in-lieu of infrastructure prior to final plat approval. With the first phase
Oak Street must be completed where adjacent to the phase 1 boundary prior to final plat
approval. All streets are proposed to be constructed to city standards and the City accepts
maintenance for all streets. Furthermore, Street easements must be provided for all streets
identified in the underlying master site plan approval to ensure access is provided to all lots
within the subdivision, and provide predictability for future subdivision development. Code
provision #6 details this requirement.
No intersections within the required analysis distance to this subdivision are operating under a
level of service required by the code. No intersection improvements are required with the phase 1
subdivision. Future subdivision development of the restricted lots will be evaluated at the time of
subdivision.
Street lighting is a component of the required street improvements. A special improvement
lighting district is proposed to maintain these facilities.
Police/Fire – The area of the subdivision is within the service area of both these departments. No
concerns on service availability have been identified.
Stormwater - The subdivision will construct storm water control facilities to conform to
municipal code. Some temporary surface stormwater facilities are proposed to serve phase 1,
with an additional permanent pond within city parkland. Condition of approval #24 requires
temporary stormwater easements be provided for stormwater infrastructure supporting the
subdivision located outside of the proposed developable area. Inspection of installed facilities
prior to final plat will verify that standards have been met. Condition of approval #26 states that
32
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 27 of 39
maintenance of the storm water facilities outside of public right of way is an obligation of the
property owners’ association. Condition of approval #25 also relates to this issue.
Parklands - The proposal meets the required park dedication and improvement standards with
conditions and code provisions if the parks master plan is approved by the Commission. The
Parks Planning and Development Manager reviewed the master site plan and proposed
Homestead Park plan. The Subdivision Review Committee of the Recreation and Parks Advisory
Board reviewed the proposal on October 27, 2020, which consists of Homestead Park, a 16-acre
park spanning both sides of Baxter Ditch and consisting of 4.2 acres of unrestricted active
parkland and the remainder of watercourse and wetlands. The unrestricted “upland” park areas
are connected by a loop of trails that that run the length of the subdivision from north to south
and cross Baxter Ditch in two locations with pedestrian bridges. The park, is divided into 3
separate park parcels, each spanning the long central blocks of the development, providing long
segments of trail. Park Parcel 1 meets the intent of Linear Parks within the Parks, Recreation,
Open Space and Trails Plan (PROST), Parcel 2 and 3 meet frontage requirements for dedicated
park. “East-West Park Connectors” are proposed as conceptual parkland areas to be further
developed upon subsequent development of restricted lots created within Phase 1 of the
subdivision. The Park Master Plan commits an additional 2 acres of parkland on each side of
Homestead Park for a total of 4 additional unrestricted park areas (8.2 acres total). The remaining
estimated 7.52 acres of required parkland are proposed as either additional park or
improvements-in-lieu of parkland as listed generally on the Homestead Park Vision sheet and
more specifically within the Park Master Plan “Potential Park Amenities” sheets. A final park
plan will be completed and approved with the final plat. The proposed park plan includes
dedication of land with improvements to meet the obligation for the subdivision. Future
development will be required to provide a combination of dedicated land and cash in lieu of
parkland once the density is known.
4) The effect on the Natural environment
No significant negative impacts to the natural environment have been identified. Two primary
watercourses exist on the subject property with associated wetlands, Baxter Creek on the western
edge, and Baxter Ditch runs through the center. The entire eastern half of the subject property,
east of Baxter Ditch where phase 1 is proposed, has been historically filled, tilled, planted, and
irrigated eliminating wetland qualities in those areas. Where intact wetlands and watercourses
are present setbacks have been delineated and identified pursuant to BMC 38.410.100. The
wetland delineation report identifies many areas where the quality of wetland soil and plants has
been degraded due to cattle use and grazing. Proposed impacts to these areas are as follows.
Road crossings will require the watercourses to be culverted in at least four places. Conditions of
approval related to this issue are located in Section 4 of this report and include condition #12
requiring appropriate permitting from the Gallatin County Conservation District, Montana
Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
33
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 28 of 39
A drain tile system exists through the eastern half of the property and has been traditionally used
for agricultural ground dewatering. A letter from the Gallatin Conservation District, provided in
the application materials states that this drained swell, where the tile has been damaged and
repaired, is not a natural watercourse or irrigation facility and does not convey water from other
properties. The applicant has proposed to redesign this system. Condition of approval #18
requires maintenance easements restricting the construction of structures within the easement.
The site is in an area of high groundwater which may negatively impact future structures or
cause illicit discharges into the sanitary sewer and over burden the surface drainage system.
Condition 21 prohibits use of basements or crawl spaces unless a professional engineer certifies
that the structure has been designed in such a way to accommodate seasonal high groundwater
and requires addition of a notation of this restriction on the conditions of approval sheet. This
requirement will protect both future structure owners from future hazards of flooding and lessen
burden on the public from illicit discharges.
The watercourses present the possibility of flooding, conditions of approval #22 and #23 are
related to this issue. Code provision #11 requires a City floodplain permit for any development
occurring in the floodplain delineated in the flood hazard analysis provided in the application
materials. Mitigation of this flood hazard includes recommendation for fill to be added to the
site. As stated above, where fill impacts wetlands or watercourses mitigation is required with
local, state, and federal permitting.
Watercourse setback planting along both watercourses, and park development is proposed
primarily along Baxter Ditch. As stated above plants and soils along the watercourse have been
severely degraded due to agricultural activities, and noxious weeds are widespread. A
landscaping framework, proposed with the approved master site plan, proposes enhancing the
native lowland and upland areas with shrubs and trees to significantly improve the quality of the
watercourse and guide its character long term as a natural amenity for Bozeman residents. Future
planting plans will be required as the property develops and will be reviewed according to
standards in place at the time.
No other impacts to the natural environment are identified.
BMC 38.550.070 requires use of wells or surface water rights to irrigate parks and open spaces
rather than municipal water supply. The application will irrigate parkland, open space or other
public lands landscaping with wells.
5) The effect on Wildlife and wildlife habitat
The subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife and wildlife habitat. There are no known
endangered or threatened species on the property. Habitat quality has been substantially
impacted by agriculture and grazing. A letter from Mike Duncan, Fisheries Biologist with State
of Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks states that “Stream corridors, their fish, and other amenities
streams provide is a primary driver for growth in Gallatin County and they should be protected
commensurate to their importance.” Mr. Duncan provided suggestions related to additional
34
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 29 of 39
watercourse setbacks, and preventing discharge of harmful substances, sediment, and other
contaminants as the property develops. Low Impact Design (LID) to mitigate stormwater is
required in the REMU zoning district and encouraged across the entirety of the development.
Proposed watercourse setback plantings that have the potential to improve stream habitat are
described in the above section.
6) The effect on Public health and safety
With the recommended conditions of approval and required plat corrections, the subdivision will
not significantly impact public health and safety. The intent of the regulations in Chapter 38 of
the Bozeman Municipal Code is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The
subdivision has been reviewed by the DRC which has determined that it is in general compliance
with the title with conditions and code provisions. Any other conditions deemed necessary to
ensure compliance have been noted throughout this staff report. Condition of approval 1 requires
full compliance with all applicable code requirements.
All subdivisions must be reviewed against the criteria listed in 76-3-608.3.b-d, Mont Code Ann.
and as a result, the Department of Community Development has reviewed this application
against the listed criteria and further provides the following summary for submittal materials and
requirements.
Preliminary Plat Supplements
A subdivision pre-application plan review was completed by the DRC on January 13, 2020.
Staff offers the following summary comments on the supplemental information required with
Article 38.220.060, BMC.
38.220.060.A.1 Surface Water
Two perennial stream exist on the property with their associated riverine wetlands. As discussed
above the quality of plants, soils, and water resources varies across the property. This
subdivision provides the opportunity to rehabilitate surface water resources with watercourse
setback plantings and weed mitigation. Condition of approval #12 requires that the applicant
contact the Gallatin County Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental
Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the proposed project and any required
permits (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.) must be obtained by the applicant prior to
commencing any improvements within watercourse and wetland areas.
38.220.060.A.2 Floodplains
Two non-federal 100-year floodplains have been analyzed and associated with Baxter Creek and
Baxter Ditch. A flood hazard analysis report completed in 2019 is included with the application
materials. Analysis concluded that all flood waters will be contained within the existing banks of
Baxter Creek, and a majority of flood waters will be contained within the existing banks of
Baxter Ditch. Recommendations related to Baxter Creek to additionally mitigate flood hazard
include maintaining a minimum floor elevation of at least two feet above the identified flood
35
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 30 of 39
water surface elevation. Recommendations related to Baxter Ditch identify areas where flooding
will overtop banks, and fill is recommended along the outer 20-feet of the wetland setbacks in
those areas. Condition of approval #22 requires a note be added to the final plat requiring that all
finish floor elevations for structures within the flood hazard be identified for each impacted lot.
Condition of approval #23 requires streets adjacent to Baxter Ditch be designed to ensure that the
back of sidewalk is a minimum one foot above the projected flood water surface elevation. Code
provision #11 requires a flood plain permit for any development occurring in the floodplain. The
City cannot issue floodplain permit approval until all other necessary permits have been issued
by agencies having jurisdiction. The applicant must submit all necessary permits and receive
approval from the City prior to final plat. The Flood Hazard Evaluation provided has not been
approved. City’s Floodplain Coordinator has provided the following comments:
a. The report finds that floodwater could reach elevations in proposed lots based on existing
topography. To mitigate the flood hazard due to existing topography, the report
recommends fill be placed to keep the floodwater contained within the confines of the
outer 20’ of the wetland setback.
b. Neither the flood hazard report nor the drainage report provide any information for sizing
the stream crossings for the internal subdivision roads. These reports need to be updated
to size the internal road culvert crossings. The hydraulics of the internal crossings feeds
back to the flood report in that fill locations (including roads) and crossing capacities
needs to be accounted for in producing the proposed floodplain area. It is recommended
that the crossings be sized to pass the flood discharge without overtopping the roadway.
38.220.060.A.3 Groundwater
With the recommended conditions of approval and required plat corrections, the subdivision
groundwater impacts will be successfully mitigated. The geotechnical investigation report, and
groundwater modeling is included in the application submittal. Groundwater was encountered in
all test pit excavations. Groundwater depth shown in test pits ranges between 4 to 7 feet. A
groundwater flow model for managing groundwater levels was provided by Water &
Environmental Technologies (WET). WET states that “presently agricultural drains are in place
at the footprint of the proposed development which acted to control shallow groundwater for
land cultivation purposes … Given those drains are relatively shallow, and, given that there are
questions about their integrity, it was determined that it would be appropriate to construct an
engineered drain system as part of the overall development plans.” Those models; and proposed
drain system location are included in the application materials and have been reviewed by the
Engineering Division. Conditions of approval 17, 20, 21, are related to groundwater and
groundwater dewatering including the restriction of basements and crawl spaces.
BMC 38.550.070 requires use of wells or surface water rights to irrigate parks and open spaces
rather than municipal water supply. The application requests to irrigate parkland, open space or
other public lands landscaping with wells per code requirements.
36
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 31 of 39
38.220.060.A.4 Geology, Soils and Slopes
This subdivision will not significantly impact the geology, soils or slopes. Soils encountered
during testing show a layer of vegetated topsoil, underlain by a layer of silty clay with sand to
depths ranging from 1.5 to 4 feet. Beneath the silty clay with sand layer; gravel sand and cobbles
were encountered 8.5 to 9 feet below existing site grades. There are no hazardous features
associated with this soil type, and foundations “can bear on the native gravel with sand layer,”
however it is recommended that “it may be advantageous to place 1 foot of structural fill under
building envelopes to aid in concrete forming and provide a uniform bearing surface.”
Additionally, due to high groundwater levels in the area it is advised against constructing
buildings with full or partial basements, a condition of approval is recommended to address this
issue. The geotechnical report is included in the application materials.
38.220.060.A.5 Vegetation
This subdivision will not significantly impact vegetation. No substantial native vegetation was
identified. Comment from state Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks found no immediate negative
effects with proper drainage and mitigation techniques. The area has been substantially disturbed
by animals and grazing which has displaced most original plants.
38.220.060.A.6 Wildlife
This subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife with conditions and code provisions. See
comments above under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.7 Historical Features
This section requires documentation from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for any
known or possible “historic, paleontological, archaeological, or cultural sites, structures, or
objects which may be affected by the proposed subdivision.” Potential or known historic areas
are required to be identified, protective measures described if applicable, and impact discussed.
A letter from Damon Mundo the Cultural Records Manager at SHPO is included in the
application materials. Mundo states that research into records indicated that there “have been no
previously recorded [historic] sites within the designated search locale.” However, there are
existing structures over 50 years old on the subject property, making them eligible for listing on
the National Register of Historic Places. This eligibility is usually determined with the
completion of a Montana Historic Property Record Form provided by SHPO and completed by
an architectural historian. Mundo states that there have been no previously recorded historic sites
on the subject property based on their records, but he also states that “few previously conducted
cultural resource inventories have been done in the area.” He goes on to write “Based on the lack
of previous inventory and the ground disturbance required by this undertaking we feel that this
property has potential to impact cultural properties.” Historic preservation of eligible structures
is only required by Bozeman Municipal Code within the regulatory area of the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) and does not apply to this property. However, code
provision #25 requires clarification from the applicant and SHPO regarding any potentially
eligible historic or cultural resources on site prior to final plat.

38.220.060.A.8 Agriculture
This subdivision will not significantly impact agriculture. See discussion above under primary
review criteria.
38.220.060.A.9 Agricultural Water User Facilities
This subdivision will not significantly impact agricultural water user facilities. See discussion
above under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.10 Water and Sewer
The subdivision will not significantly burden city water and sewer infrastructure with the
recommended conditions of approval and code provisions. See discussion above under primary
review criteria. The required design report has been provided. Formal plans and specifications
will be prepared and reviewed after action on the preliminary plat.
38.220.060.A.11 Stormwater Management
The subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. See discussion above
under primary review criteria. Permits from the State for stormwater control will be required
prior to any onsite construction.
38.220.060.A.12 Streets, Roads and Alleys
The subdivision will not significantly impact the City’s street infrastructure and will provide
adequate improvements to support the development. See discussion above under primary review
criteria.
38.220.060.A.13 Utilities
This subdivision will not significantly impact utilities. All private utilities servicing the
subdivision will be installed underground. See discussion above under primary review criteria
regarding extension of water and sewer. All private utilities are available in the area.
38.220.060.A.14 Educational Facilities
No response from Bozeman School District #7 was provided. Code correction #21 requires a
response to be provided from the school district regarding impacts the subdivision will have on
educational facilities.
38.220.060.A.15 Land Use
The use proposed is mixed use residential and community commercial which conforms to the
future land use designations and zoning purposes. The property has a future land use designation
of Residential Mixed Use and Community Commercial Mixed Use and is zoned REMU,
Residential Emphasis Mixed Use and B-2M, Community Business - Mixed. The correlation table
on page 58 of the 2020 Community Plan shows REMU and B-2M zoning as implementing
districts of the Residential Mixed Use, and Community Commercial Mixed Use land use
designations.
38
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 33 of 39
38.220.060.A.16 Parks and Recreation Facilities
See discussion above under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.17 Neighborhood Center Plan
The neighborhood center will be provided by the proposed commercial development within the
subdivision. The application materials indicate the 15 acre area is intended to have uses “such as
daycares, smaller scale groceries, bakeries, coffee shops, retail stores, small restaurants, and
offices.” The code allows the requirement that the neighborhood center be within 600 feet from
the geographic center point of the development may be waived if the center is a neighborhood
commercial center. New neighborhood commercial centers are subject to the community design
framework master plan provisions of sections 38.230.130 and 38.510.030.L establishing block
frontage designations for future development. Condition of approval #6 requires the applicant to
update the Community Design Framework Master Plan with the Phase 1 final plat application
which establishes the parcels for the commercial node. Further project design review of the
commercial node is expected with subsequent development review applications required for
commercial development.
38.220.060.A.18 Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required pursuant to BMC 38.570.030. All street lights installed
must use LED light heads and must conform to the City’s requirement for cut-off shields as
required by the City’s specifications. A Special Improvement Lighting District (SILD) will be
created prior to final plat application. Code provision 17 is related to this issue.
38.220.060.A.19 Miscellaneous
The proposed subdivision will improve the access to public lands by including additional City
parkland. A Master Site Plan Application no. 19440 was approved on December 22, 2020.
Section 38.310.060.B requires a master site plan or PUD review in all REMU zoning districts
larger than 5-acres. This plan is intended to provide a design framework and act as a guiding
document for REMU zoning compliance for phase 1 and all future subdivisions within the
subject property.
38.220.060.A.20 Affordable Housing
Phase 1 of the subdivision application is not subject to affordable housing requirement as no
market rate homes are proposed. Affordable housing requirements will be evaluated with each
subsequent subdivision or site plan application.
SECTION 7 - FINDINGS OF FACT, ORDER AND APPEAL PROVISIONS
A. PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Article 2, BMC, and other applicable sections of Chapter 38,
BMC, public notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to affected
parties, and a review of the preliminary plat described in these findings of fact was
conducted.
39
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 34 of 39
B. The purposes of the preliminary plat review were to consider all relevant evidence
relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other purposes of Chapter 38, BMC; to
evaluate the proposal against the criteria and standards of Chapter 38 BMC, BMC; and to
determine whether the plat should be approved, conditionally approved, or denied.
C. The matter of the preliminary plat application was considered by the City Commission at
a public hearing on February 2, 2021 at which time the Department of Community
Development Staff reviewed the project, submitted and summarized the conditions of
approval, clarified unresolved issues and summarized the public comment submitted to
the City prior to the public hearing.
D. The applicant, NWX LLC, acknowledged understanding and agreement with the
recommended conditions of approval and code provisions.
E. The City Commission requested public comment at the public hearing on February 2,
2021 and three members of the public offered testimony on the subdivision.
F. It appeared to the City Commission that all parties and the public wishing to examine the
proposed preliminary plat and offer comment were given the opportunity to do so. After
receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies established by Section
Chapter 38, BMC, and considering all matters of record presented with the application
and during the public comment period defined by Chapter 38, BMC, the City
Commission has found that the proposed preliminary plat would comply with the
requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code if certain conditions were imposed.
Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before her regarding this
application, the City Commission makes the following decision.
G. The preliminary plat has been found to meet the criteria of Chapter 38, BMC, and is
therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed in Section 3 of this report and the
correction of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Chapter
including those identified in Section 3 of this report. The evidence contained in the
submittal materials, advisory body review, public testimony, and this report, justify the
conditions imposed on this development to ensure that the final site plan and subsequent
construction complies with all applicable regulations, and all applicable criteria of
Chapter 38, BMC.
H. This City Commission order may be appealed by bringing an action in the Eighteenth
District Court of Gallatin County, within 30 days after the adoption of this document by
the City Commission, by following the procedures of Section 76-3-625, MCA. The
preliminary approval of this single phased major subdivision shall be effective for two (2)
years from the date of the signed Findings of Fact and Order approval. At the end of this
period the City may, at the request of the subdivider, grant an extension to its approval by
the Community Development Director for a period of mutually agreed upon time.

APPENDIX A –PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The property is zoned REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed
Use District. The intent and purpose of the REMU district is to establish areas within Bozeman
that are mixed-use in character and to provide options for a variety of housing, employment,
retail and neighborhood service opportunities within a new or existing neighborhood. 1.
Emphasizing residential as the primary use, including single household dwellings, two to four
household dwellings, townhouses, and apartments. 2. Providing for a diverse array of
neighborhood-scaled commercial and civic uses supporting residential. 3 .Emphasizing a vertical
and horizontal mix of uses in a compact and walkable neighborhood setting. 4. Promoting
neighborhoods that: a. Create self-sustaining neighborhoods that will lay the foundation for
healthy lifestyles; b .Support compact, walkable developments that promote balanced
transportation options; c. Have residential as the majority use with a range of densities; d.
Provide for a diverse array of commercial and civic uses supporting residential; e .Have
residential and commercial uses mixed vertically and/or horizontally; f. Locate commercial uses
within walking distance; g. Incorporate a wider range of housing types; and h. Encourage
developments that exhibit the physical design characteristics of vibrant, urban, and pedestrian-
oriented complete streets. 5.Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize a sense of place:
a. Support or add to an existing neighborhood context; b. Enhance an existing neighborhood's
sense of place and strive to make it more self-sustainable; c. Encourage a new neighborhood
commercial center(s) with a unique identity and strong sense of place; d. Develop commercial
and mixed-use areas that are safe, comfortable, and attractive to pedestrians; and e. Reinforce the
principle of streets as public places that encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel, transit, on-street
parking and physical elements of complete streets. 6. Providing standards and guidelines that
emphasize natural amenities: a. Preserve and integrate the natural amenities into the
development; and b. Appropriately balance a hierarchy of both parks and public spaces that are
within the neighborhood. 7. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize the development
of centers: a. Group uses of property to create vibrant centers; b. Where appropriate create a
center within an existing neighborhood; c. Facilitate proven, market driven projects to ensure
both long and short-term financial viability; d. Allow an appropriate blend of complementary
mixed land uses including, but not limited to, retail, offices, commercial services, restaurants,
bars, hotels, recreation and civic uses, and housing, to create economic and social vitality; e.
Foster the master plan development into a mix of feasible, market driven uses; f. Emphasize the
need to serve the adjacent, local neighborhood and as well as the greater Bozeman area; and g.
Maximize land use efficiency by encouraging shared use parking. 8 .Promoting the integration of
action: a. Support existing infrastructure that is within and adjacent to REMU zones; b.
Encourage thoughtfully developed master planned communities; c .Provide flexibility in the
placement and design of new developments and redevelopment to anticipate changes in the
marketplace; d. Provide flexibility in phasing to help ensure both long and short term financial
viability for the project as a whole; 9. Providing standards and guidelines that promote
sustainable design
42
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 37 of 39
Use of this zone is appropriate for sites at least five acres in size and areas located adjacent to an
existing or planned residential area to help sustain commercial uses within walking distance and a
wider range of housing types.
The property is also zoned B-2M, Community Business District – Mixed. The intent of the B-2M
community business district-mixed is to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that
accommodates substantial growth and enhances the character of the city. This district provides for
a range of commercial uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader trade area and
encourages the integration of multi-household residential as a secondary use. Design standards
emphasizing pedestrian oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is
appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation: This property is designated as Residential Mixed Use in the
2020 Community Plan. This category promotes neighborhoods substantially dominated by
housing, yet integrated with small-scale commercial and civic uses. The housing can include
single-attached and small single-detached dwellings, apartments, and live-work units. If buildings
include ground floor commercial uses, residences should be located on upper floor. Variation in
building mass, height, and other design characteristics should contribute to a complete and
interesting streetscape. Secondary supporting uses, such as retail, office, and civic uses, are
permitted on the ground floor. All uses should complement existing and planned residential uses.
Non-residential uses are expected to be pedestrian oriented and emphasize the human scale with
modulation in larger structures. Stand alone, large, non-residential uses are discouraged. Non-
residential spaces should provide an interesting pedestrian experience with quality urban design
for buildings, sites, and open spaces. This category is appropriate near commercial centers. Larger
areas should be well served by multimodal transportation routes. Multi-unit, higher density, urban
development is expected. Any development within this category should have a well-integrated
transportation and open space network that encourages pedestrian activity and provides ready-
access within and adjacent development.
While the nature of development for the entire REMU area in this subdivision is not yet known,
development will be guided according to the Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) zoning
designation that correlates with this district. The applicant has proposed multi-household higher
density housing adjacent to the commercial node in the approved master site plan associated with
this site, with medium and lower density attached and detached single-household making up the
balance of the plan.
This property is also designated as Community Commercial Mixed Use. The Community
Commercial Mixed Use category promotes commercial areas necessary for economic health and
vibrancy. This includes professional and personal services, retail, education, health services,
offices, public administration, and tourism establishments. Density is expected to be higher than it
is currently in most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings.
43
20113, Findings of Fact Northwest Crossing Phase 1 Major Subdivision Page 38 of 39
Residences on upper floors, in appropriate circumstances, are encouraged. The urban character
expected in this designation includes urban streetscapes, plazas, outdoor seating, public art, and
hardscaped open space and park amenities. High density residential areas are expected in close
proximity. Developments in this land use area should be located on one or two quadrants of
intersections of the arterial and/or collector streets and integrated with transit and non-automotive
routes. Due to past development patterns, there are also areas along major streets where this
category is organized as a corridor rather than a center. Although a broad range of uses may be
appropriate in both types of locations, the size and scale is to be smaller within the local service
areas. Building and site designs made to support easy reuse of the building and site over time is
important. Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated, pedestrian friendly manner and
should not be overly dominated by any single use. Higher intensity uses are encouraged in the core
of the area or adjacent to significant streets and intersections. Building height or other methods of
transition may be required for compatibility with adjacent development. Smaller neighborhood
scale areas are intended to provide local service to an area of approximately one half-mile to one
mile radius as well as passersby. These smaller centers support and help give identity to
neighborhoods by providing a visible and distinct focal point as well as employment and services.
Densities of nearby homes needed to support this scale are an average of 14 to 22 dwellings per
net acre.
The proposed subdivision is meeting the 2020 Plan with the commercial areas that will serve both
the surrounding neighborhoods and broader community, and will function as a service center for
the neighborhoods within the development. The southeast corner of the proposed master site plan
has this community plan designation and is approximately 29 acres, with 15 acres being developed
with primarily commercial uses. This commercial area will serve two functions with appropriate
land uses placed along two arterial roads to serve the broader community including the new
Gallatin High School, adjacent residential neighborhoods, and activities in the adjacent Sports
Park, as well as functioning as the neighborhood center for the larger development with bicycle
and pedestrian connectivity from within the broader 160 acres.
APPENDIX B – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Notice was provided at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the Planning Board and City
Commission public hearings. BMC 38.220.420, Notice was provided by posting the site, mailing
by certified mail to adjacent property owners and by first class mail to all other owners within
200 feet on January 10, 2021. The site was posted with a notice on January 10, 2021, and a legal
advertisement was published in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on January 10, 2021. Content of
the notice contained all elements required by Article 38.220., BMC. No public comment has
been received.
APPENDIX C – PROJECT BACKGROUND

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Taylor Lonsdale, Engineer III
Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
Dowl for the Design of Changes to the Bike Lanes on Peach Street at Rouse
Avenue
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to sign a professional services agreement with
DOWL for the design of changes to the bike lanes on Peach Street at Rouse
Avenue.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices: Vigorously encourage, through a
wide variety of actions, the development of sustainable and lasting housing
options for underserved individuals and families and improve mobility
options that accommodate all travel modes.
BACKGROUND:The Montana Department of Transportation is reconstructing the Rouse
Avenue corridor from Main Street to Oak Street. The project reconstructed
the Peach Street intersection with a new traffic signal, turn and through
lanes, sidewalk, and ADA improvements. The existing bicycle lanes on the
Peach Street, west of Rouse Avenue, were merged into vehicle lanes west of
the intersection. The Montana Department of Transportation and the City of
Bozeman both received a substantial number of comments expressing strong
opposition to this design. The Montana Department of Transportation and
the City of Bozeman agreed to work together on potential changes to
improve the design for people on bicycles. It is desired to include the
changes in the work that remains to be done on the Rouse Avenue project
this spring and early summer. Due to the short time frame, relatively low
cost, and because DOWL designed the original project, it is in the best
interest of the public that we work directly with DOWL.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The cost of these services total $7,200. This work will be paid for from the
Annual Curb Replacement Program, Project Number SCR01.

Scope of Services
Peach Street Bicycle Lanes
Introduction
The Montana Department of Transportation is reconstructing the Rouse Avenue corridor from Main Street to Oak
Street. The project reconstructed the Peach Street intersection with a new traffic signal, turn and through lanes,
sidewalk, and ADA improvements. Existing bicycle lanes on the Peach Street, west of Rouse Avenue, were merged
into vehicle lanes west of the intersection. This project will include development of two concepts to allow bicyclists
options to access adjacent sidewalk. One concept will be forwarded to design to be provided to Missouri River
Contractors (Rouse Avenue project contractor)for a price proposal.
DOWL contacted MDT to determine what requirements would be placed on the City of Bozeman. Work affecting
the state right-of-way including recently constructed features such as storm drain, traffic signals, and ADA
improvements will require a Systems Impact Action Process (SIAP) analysis. MDT has indicated that a bicycle lane
terminating on the west leg of the intersection would likely not be acceptable.This project will limit the extent of
the modifications to those that can be completed within the city’s right-of-way to avoid the SIAP analysis.
Scope of Services
Task 1.Alternative Development
DOWL will develop two alternatives for consideration.The alternatives include:
Providing bicycle ramps intended to allow bicyclists to merge or diverge from Peach Street; and
Using alley approach locations for bicyclists to enter or exit bicycle lanes.
DOWL will field measure new utility poles, fencing, and other items constructed with the Rouse Avenue project
to gain a better understanding of available widths for sidewalk and the potential for shared use facilities. The
alternative development will include a plan sheet of each alternative for review by the city staff. DOWL will
conduct one (1) meeting with the city staff to discuss the merits of the two alternatives. The city will notify DOWL
of their preferred alternative to begin the design task.
Task 2.Preferred Alternative Design
It is assumed that survey of new features is not required. DOWL will notify the city if a contract modification is
needed to survey specific items for the preferred alternative design. The design will include two sheets including
a layout plan with elevation information and a signing and striping plan. It is anticipated that striping and sign
locations will be affected with the bicycle lane modifications. DOWL will conduct one (1) meeting with the city
staff to review the design of the preferred alternative and revise the plan sheets.
Task 3.Bid Package Preparation
DOWL will prepare a list of work items and quantities in addition to the plan sheets. For consistency with the MDT
Rouse Avenue project, it is assumed that MDT Standard Specifications will be referenced with the bid package and
no additional specifications will be required. The city will review and submit the bid package information to
Missouri River Contractors for a price proposal. DOWL will be available to answer questions and review the price

specifically agrees to take immediate steps, at its own expense and without expectation of
reimbursement from City, to alleviate or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific

and costs (including attorney’s fees and the costs and fees of expert witness and consultants), losses,
expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently or intrinsically dangerous) or
damages of whatever kind or nature connected therewith and without limit and without regard to the
cause or causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties that may be asserted against,
recovered from or suffered by the City occasioned by, growing or arising out of or resulting from or
in any way related to: (i) the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of the Contractor; or (ii)
any negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any of the Contractor’s agents.
For the professional services rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor
agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless against claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and
expenses, including reasonable defense attorney fees, to the extent caused by the negligence or
intentional misconduct of the Contractor or Contractor’s agents or employees.
Such obligations shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations
of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be
construed to negate, abridge, or reduce any common-law or statutory rights of the City as
indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such indemnitee(s).

Housing Development and Preservation
FY 2021 – FY 2022

defense or indemnification under this Agreement or under the Contractor’s applicable insurance
policies required below, the City shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees
incurred in asserting its right to indemnification or defense but only if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was obligated to
indemnify the City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.

insurance coverage through an insurance company or companies duly licensed and authorized to
conduct insurance business in Montana which insures the liabilities and obligations specifically
assumed by the Contractor in this Section. The insurance coverage shall not contain any exclusion
for liabilities specifically assumed by the Contractor in this Section.
The insurance shall cover and apply to all claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and
expenses that may be asserted or claimed against, recovered from, or suffered by the City without
limit and without regard to the cause therefore and which is acceptable to the City. Contractor shall
furnish to the City an accompanying certificate of insurance and accompanying endorsements in
amounts not less than as follows:

Attention: Mike Maas, City Clerk
RE: RFP for Bozeman Affordable Housing AHO and UDC Review and Recommendations
Dear Mr. Maas:
Clarion Associates, Root Policy Research, and Groundprint are pleased to present this proposal to perform
the consulting services described in the above RFP. We have assembled this team to provide the City of
Bozeman with an exceptional blend of national and local expertise in zoning, development regulations,
housing economics, and citizen engagement. More specifically:
•Clarion Associates is a national land use consulting firm based in Denver, CO that has completed morethan 220 zoning and development regulatory update projects throughout the U.S. over the past 28 years.
•Root Policy Research is one of the nations premier firms of housing economists and analysts, andhas often teamed with Clarion Associates to address both market and regulatory barriers to fair andaffordable housing.
•Groundprint is a Bozeman-based consulting firm with a long history of engagement with both the City ofBozeman and its neighborhoods and development community.
Together, the Clarion Team offers Bozeman a wealth of experience about best practices in both affordable
housing and zoning regulations, as well as a long track record of successful stakeholder engagement and
consensus-building on these complex topics (even under the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic).
We are genuinely excited by this project and the opportunities it presents to increase the supply of
affordable housing in Bozeman. We hope you give this proposal careful consideration, and that you feel free
to ask any clarifying questions or to suggest changes in our scope of work, timeline, or budget that you think
would better meet Bozeman’s needs. We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Don Elliott, FAICP Director

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Affordable housing is one of the most difficult
challenges facing cities throughout the U.S. and one
that cannot be addressed successfully without a
thorough understanding of both housing economics
and regulatory barriers to new housing construction.
The Clarion Team includes both the national
experience and local knowledge to do that.
The pages below outline our approach to this very
worthwhile project, as well as our proposed scope
of services, timeline, and budget. The Clarion Team
generally agrees with the Phases and Tasks described
in the RFP, and think they represent a logical approach
to this work. We suggest one change, namely, the
combination of RFP Tasks 1.5 and 1.6, so that the
AHO Report will include both recommendations for
change and the proposed text of those changes. In
our experience, it is easier for reviewers to understand
the implications of narrative recommendations if they
can also review the actual proposed text revisions at
the same time. Although this proposal reflects the RFP
request to conduct Project Initiation and Background
Research separately for Phases 1 and 2 (Tasks 1.1,
2.1, 1.2, and 2.2), we would also be happy to combine
some of these Tasks to save time and project budget
for other Tasks.
The Clarion Team is particularly excited to work
with Bozeman on these analyses and
recommendations because the project draw on our
core strengths and interests. Crafting a successful
affordable housing strategy requires not only the
analytical skills related to housing economics and
zoning regulations, but also national experience on
how other cities have addressed the challenge of
affordable housing, whether they were successful, and
why or why not. Root Policy Research brings to
Bozeman a deep pool of experience and examples of
which Affordable Housing Ordinances (AHOs) work,
and which do not. They also understand the reasons
why unsuccessful AHOs fail.
Clarion Associates has a similarly extensive track
record with Unified Development Codes. Through
our work around the U.S. and Canada, we know how
zoning, subdivision, and development regulations
can create serious barriers to the construction or
renovation of affordable housing, and we know how
to modify or remove those barriers. More importantly,
we know what does not work – i.e. what regulatory
changes sound good but will not make a meaningful
change in the supply of affordable housing. As in the
case of housing economics, it is just as important to
know what zoning “fixes” do not work, and to spot
and avoid those mistakes through candid, fact-based
communications throughout the process.
Groundprint adds to the depth of our team by
bringing on-the-ground experience working with
the City of Bozeman and its neighborhoods and
development community. This experience will help
us to understand the City’s values and ensure that we
engage with a broad and inclusive range of affected
stakeholders and the community in general.
These decades of experiences give the Clarion Team
the ability to tailor our advice and recommendations
to the unique context of each of our partner
communities – and make us particularly excited to
assist Bozeman with this work. We believe that the
proposal below will result in exceptionally effective
revisions to both the AHO and the UDC with broad
public understanding and support, but we are ready to
discuss any changes that Bozeman feels would better
meet the City’s needs.

SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
GENERAL APPROACH
Getting affordable housing right is very difficult, and
Bozeman is not alone in finding that regulations and incentives designed to promote affordable housing often have limited impact. In fact, that is the norm across many U.S. communities. The Clarion Team believes that the keys to drafting a modern effective affordable housing program are:
• Sound Economics – Understanding the true costs of
developing housing
• Removing Barriers – Focusing first on removing
zoning and other regulatory barriers that are reducing the production of affordable housing
• Realistic Incentives – Ensuring that any incentives
offered are strong enough to induce real market change
In short, because there is never enough public money to bridge the gap between the supply and demand for affordable housing, it is essential to allow the market to meet as much of that supply as possible – and that requires regulatory change based on market realities. This is especially true in Bozeman where Community Housing Needs Assessment calls for 6,000 new homes in five years. The Clarion Team has a deep understanding of both housing economics and the regulatory and financial tools needed to do just that.
In the drawing below, the red arrow represents levels of affordability that can be achieved by the private market, and the blue bar represents levels of affordability that cannot be achieved without some form of assistance. Revising development codes to remove barriers can move the black line to the left to allow the market to meet a greater share of housing need, and revising affordable housing ordinances
can ensure that available funds are used as efficiently as possible to meet more of that need. The Clarion Team’s job is to help Bozeman achieve that.
DETAILED SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Clarion Team’s proposed Scope of Services is
shown below. We think Bozeman’s approach to this project is logical and straightforward, and we have accepted the proposed Tasks in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 with only one change. We recommend that within Phase 1, Tasks 1.5 and 1.6 be combined so the AHO Report and specific recommended ordinance revisions can be considered together, which will improve the quality of discussion around those recommendations and result in a more efficient use of the project budget. The Clarion Team is prepared to perform each of those tasks as stated in the RFP. In the pages below we do not repeat each RFP statement of the Task, but instead add our insights and comments about how we would perform the task and why our expertise is particularly well matched to Bozeman’s need for that service.
“Of all of the consulting firms that I have
worked with in the past 25 years in both the
private and public sectors, Clarion is ranked
at the top of my list. I highly recommend
them to any entity seeking the most
professional, knowledgeable, comprehensive and innovative solutions to local/regional planning and development regulation needs.”

PHASE 1 - AHO ANALYSIS
TASK 1.1: PROJECT INITIATION
This task will be performed as stated in the RFP.
The Clarion Team approach is to form close
partnerships with the City’s project management
staff and Community Engagement Team, and
coming to a common understanding about project
scope, management, the engagement strategy,
and potentially difficult issues early in the process
is important to success. We follow this up with
scheduled weekly or bi-weekly calls to ensure that
project tasks are going smoothly and to make
mid-course corrections as needed.
Timing: February 2021
TASK 1.2: BACKGROUND RESEARCH
As noted above, it is essential that all work related to affordable housing be grounded in sound information about how the housing market is and is not performing, as well as the regulatory environment in which it is operating. We will use the new Community Housing Hub as well as review each of the documents listed in the RFP, ask questions about how the documents are administered in practice, and ensure that we have a common understanding of these plans and regulatory frameworks – particularly as they related to the 2019 Community Housing Needs Assessment and the 2020 Community Housing Action Plan. This task will draw on Clarion Project Associate Jenny Baker’s four years of experience working as a planner in Montana, as well as Susan Riggs’ deep understanding of Bozeman’s governance framework and practices.
Timing: February 2021
TASK 1.3: STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Effective and candid community engagement is a process not an event and will be critical to this effort, and the Clarion Team has almost 30 years of experience tailoring our approaches to the needs and practices of each of our partner communities. In this case, we will align our efforts with the Draft Bozeman Community Engagement/Collaborative Governance document and focus on creating an effective, meaningful and inclusive community engagement plan early in the process in collaboration with the City. Because at least part of this work will take place during the continuing constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, all engagement efforts must be designed to respect CDC, state, and local guidance regarding public health. The Clarion Team’s ability to appear in person will be limited during the early
months, but may change over the course of the
project, and that will require a flexible and creative
engagement strategy. Experience shows that a
adaptable approach to stakeholder engagement is
also important because it allows project leadership to
continually redirect efforts to ensure that low-income
households, BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of
color) households and persons with disabilities
are fully and thoughtfully engaged throughout the
process. Our design and conduct of engagement
events will draw on Susan Riggs’ presence in Bozeman
and her knowledge of the community as well as her
recent professional work on the Community Platform,
the City Engagement Report, and the PUD Relaxation
Report.
In general, our experience is that the following
elements are key to an effective stakeholder
engagement program when in-person meetings and
conversations are not possible.
• Website. An effective website presence – usually
hosted on the City’s website – where the project
team can post schedules, upcoming events, drafts
of deliverables for public review, deliverable
summary memos, and Frequently Asked Question
sheets, and where the public can make comments
and sign up for future notices related to the project.
• Social Media. While not a good forum for
substantive discussions regarding complex
issues like affordable housing, social media (and
particularly Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter) have
proven effective means to reach a broader range
of stakeholders, announce future virtual meetings
and the availability of drafts for review, and to
direct stakeholders to the project website for more
detailed information.
• Virtual Meetings. Since 2017, the Clarion Team
has developed significant experience conducting
interviews, briefings, and hearings using on-line
platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams,
with good results. We also use software platforms
such as MentiMeter, Konveio, and Slido to allow
virtual participants to see their individual comments
appear alongside others during virtual events, and
to participate in identifying themes among the
responses, which promotes transparency and can
help build consensus. In some cases, the use of
chat boxes and question-and-answer features also
allow quieter stakeholders (or those that prefer
anonymity) to engage more meaningfully than they
could in a large in-person meeting or open houses.
We have also been effective in using breakout
rooms to encourage participants to speak up when
they might have been unwilling to speak in larger
92
12 Bozeman, Montana
virtual environments. Our goal is to make these
meetings welcoming and easily accessible to all
those who are interested in participating.
• Meeting Stakeholders Where They Are.
Increasingly, we find that one of the most effective
way to engage key stakeholders (and particularly
traditionally un-engaged stakeholders) is to ask to
participate in regular meetings of neighborhood
groups, advisory boards, non-profits (such as HRDC
or the Headwaters Community Housing Trust),
student organizations, business associations, and
interest groups. This creates a non-threatening
channel for increased participation at an event that
participants have on their calendars anyway, with
colleagues they know. This requires significant
advanced planning and absorbs an increasing share
of available public engagement funds, but it turns
out to be very effective and is in line with one of the
City’s Guiding Principles from the Draft Community
Engagement/ Collaborative Governance document
that “The City goes to the community as well as
invites the community into City spaces.”
Clarion Associates and Groundprint will prepare
required presentation materials and facilitate
stakeholder engagement sessions.
Timing: February - March 2021
Deliverables: Community Engagement Matrix
TASK 1.4: ANALYZE THE AHO
Clarion Associates will work closely with Root Policy Consulting to review the Affordable Housing Ordinance – as well as its alignment with the Unified Development Code – as stated in the RFP. Root Policy has a national reputation as a knowledge leader in effective affordable housing strategies – and has drafted and revised affordable housing strategies for communities as diverse as Lawrence, KS, Aurora, CO, and Travis County, TX . Clarion Associates worked closely with Root Policy recommend updates to affordable housing strategies in Albany, NY, Dallas, TX, several counties in Idaho, and the states of Oregon and Nevada. We have also prepared affordable housing best practices reports and alternatives analyses for;
• Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, and Pitkin County (Aspen), CO,
• Boise, ID,
• Las Cruces, NM,
• Teton County (Jackson Hole), WY, and
• Palm Beach, Marathon, and Lee County, FL.
This extensive experience will allow the Clarion Team to quickly and efficiently evaluate specific aspects of the Bozeman Affordable Housing Ordinance that
deviate from emerging best practices or explain why
that ordinance has produced so little affordable
housing over the past years.
Timing: February - April 2021
TASK 1.5: FINAL AHO REPORT
Based on the results of Tasks 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, the
Clarion Team will prepare a preliminary report
documenting our analysis of, and recommended
changes to, the Affordable Housing Ordinance. To
improve the ability of stakeholders to understand
the implications of these recommendations, this
document will also include our recommendations
for specific changes to the AHO text to implement
the recommendations. The report and
recommended AHO revisions will be presented
to the Bozeman Planning Board, Bozeman Zoning
Commission, Historic Preservation Advisory Board,
Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board,
Interneighborhood Council, and City Commission
for review and discussion before work on Phase 2
begins. We would also like to consider reconvening
the Bozeman Community Housing Action Plan
Working Group for their input. The Discussion points
raised by these groups will be presented to the City
Commission, and the recommendations of the City
Commission will be integrated or annotated into a
final report and recommendations document.

TASK 2.1: PROJECT INITIATION
This Task will be performed as outlined in the RFP and
in the same manner described for Task 2.1 above,
in order to ensure that Phase 2 work accurately
reflects Final AHO report and direction from the City
Commission.
Timing: June 2021
TASK 2.2: BACKGROUND RESEARCH
This Task will be performed as described in the RFP, and its scope will be limited to any background materials not already reviewed in Task 2.2.
Timing: June - July 2021
TASK 2.3: STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The Clarion Team will perform this Task using similar outreach and engagement tools identified in Task 1.3 and the process will also align with the Draft Bozeman Community Engagement/Collaborative Governance document. While including all those groups identified in the RFP, this outreach effort will draw on the local knowledge of Susan Riggs to also include developers, non-profits, and the very active local design community of architects, planners, and engineers. We also plan to analyze the existing ideas and comments related to affordable housing listed on the Community Platform. Clarion Associates conducted similar outreach and engagement for Enterprise Housing and the City and County of Denver during the development of the new Denver Zoning Ordinance, and the results significantly influenced the design of that ordinance. One of the key tools that the Clarion Team brings to this task is the ability to describe alternative zoning and development regulations used by other cities throughout the U.S. and to draw out stakeholder opinions about how well that approach might work (or not work) in Bozeman. Stakeholder engagement works best when participants can get beyond general statements about what they like and do not like about a development code, and can instead offer thoughtful advice about the advantages and disadvantages of potential alternatives.
Clarion Associates and Groundprint will prepare required presentation materials and facilitate stakeholder and community engagement sessions.
Timing: July – September 2021
Deliverables: Community Engagement Matrix
TASK 2.4: ANALYZE THE DEVELOPMENT CODE
Task 2.4 addresses the heart of this important topic
– how Bozeman’s Unified Development Code could
be revised to better align with the Affordable Housing
Ordinance and to allow the private development
market to produce more affordable housing in
ways that are economically realistic and politically
supportable. Over the past 28 years, Clarion
Associates has completed over 80 evaluations of
zoning, subdivision, and development codes around
the U.S. and Canada, and in recent years almost
all of those evaluations have included the removal
of barriers to diverse, innovative, and affordable
housing. Our analysis will cover all 15 topics listed
in the RFP but will also include opportunities for
more mixed-use development (which can open up
additional opportunities for internal cross-subsidies),
maximum lot coverage requirements, landscaping
standards, and clustered development standards and
incentives.
As noted earlier, the Clarion Team approach focuses:
• First – on Removal of Barriers, because many of
the obstacles to affordable housing are buried in
old requirements that simply need to be modified,
reorganized, or removed. With (usually) the best
of intentions, planning, zoning, subdivision, and
public works standards are significant contributors
to rising housing costs, and removing those
obstacles can have a very dramatic impact on
housing costs.
• Second – on Designing Effective Incentives,
because everyone prefers a carrot to a stick,
and well designed, market-realistic incentives
calibrated to support an AHO can and do induce
developers to build more affordable housing
products.
• Third – on Adding New Regulations, because each
new regulation requires training, implementation,
and enforcement, all of which cost money that can
(directly or indirectly) drive up the costs of housing.
Incidentally, while discussions about revising zoning regulations for affordability often focus on the physical aspects of development (such as building heights, intensities, and parking) our experience is that many of the most important zoning barriers are procedural and/or organizational. More specifically, we have found that many housing projects designed to be more affordable instead become significantly less affordable because of the time, effort, expense, and uncertainty in the development review process. Another example in Bozeman is that while many alternatives to a “household” are technically allowed,
94
14 Bozeman, Montana
they are buried in the text of the document. The
RFP identifies this issue as Task 2.4 points j. (Review
processes for discretionary and of-right review) and n.
(Procedural Adjustments and Subsidies), and we will
pay particular attention to these topics.
Timing: August – September 2021
TASK 2.5: DRAFT FINAL REPORT
Based on the results of Tasks 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4, the
Clarion Team will prepare a final report documenting
our analysis of, and recommended changes to, the
Bozeman Unified Development Code. The Clarion
Team will first provide a preliminary report for
City staff, revise the report in response to public
comments, and then prepare a revised final report
for presentation to the Bozeman Planning Board,
Bozeman Zoning Commission, Historic Preservation
Advisory Board, Community Affordable Housing
Advisory Board, Interneighborhood Council, and City
Commission for review and discussion.

TETON COUNTY, WYOMING
Affordable Housing Support Study and
Implementation Legislation
Clarion served as the lead consultant in the design of the initial support study and inclusionary housing for Jackson/Teton County in the mid-1990s. This effort, a first in Wyoming, required legal analysis, the piecing together of a nexus between the increases in land/housing values and the housing market in Teton County, establishment of moderate and low income levels, and the development of an in-lieu fee based upon proportionate share principles. In 2002-2003, Clarion worked in conjunction with the Teton County Planning Department in developing the necessary support documents to update the Affordable Housing Support Study, and Mr. Richardson drafted the revised legislation.
Between 2004 and 2006, Mr. Richardson served as special legal counsel to the Teton County Attorney in successfully defending several legal challenges to the inclusionary housing requirements adopted by Teton County, in state court. One of the challenges was successfully defended before the Wyoming Supreme Court. In 2013, Clarion led a team of economists and planners in updating the county’s nexus study.
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
Texas Housing Needs Analysis
In 2019, Heidi Aggeler and Mollie
Fitzpatrick conducted a housing
needs analysis for both the City
of Austin and Travis County.
This countywide study evaluated
affordability needs, market
trends, and rental gaps at multiple
geographic levels including
countywide, county excluding Austin
(anchor city), and by ZIP code. A key
component to understanding the
geographic complexity of the county
was development of a ZIP code
level housing needs dashboard
which identified characteristics
of each neighborhood and
illustrated housing cost trends and
affordability gaps—through an
equity lens. This was the third time
we have conducted a housing needs
studies for the City of Austin—which
inform the City’s notable and
successful Strategic Blueprint for
Housing.

BROOMFIELD, COLORADO
Development Code Assessment
Broomfield, Colorado, is an emerging high quality of life community
located on the U.S. 36 Denver-Boulder corridor. With a growing population
of 68,000, it is poised to capture a significant share of both population
and business growth, and in 2001 became the second community in
Colorado (after Denver) to be granted City/County government status.
As Broomfield grew, it has absorbed lands previously located in Adams,
Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties, and in most cases the annexed
lands were allowed to retain their current zoning through cross-references
to the zoning and development codes in their former counties. The City/
County also adopted a number of Urban Renewal plans whose regulatory
relationship to zoning and subdivision controls was inconsistent and
unclear. In the summer of 2019, Clarion Associates was retained to
complete a thorough assessment of Broomfield’s aging zoning regulation
and to devise a strategy for updating the content and integrating
regulations from five jurisdictions, as well as regulatory content from
Urban Renewal plans, into a single, highly graphic, and user-friendly
development code that can support rational and sustainable community
growth through the 21st Century. The assessment was completed in the
spring of 2020, but plans for a full development code rewrite based on
the Assessment were then suspended by the City/County to focus on
COVID-19 pandemic response strategies.
BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA
Unified Development Ordinance Diagnosis
With a population of almost 85,000, Bloomington is the seventh largest city in Indiana and the seat of Monroe County. It also serves as home to Indiana University, world reknowned for its academics, swimming, music, and basketball programs. In late 2017, Clarion Associates was retained to lead a team including our Cincinnati affiliate McBride Dale Clarion to complete significant updates to Bloomington’s Unified Development Code. The primary purpose of the updates is to ensure that the UDO is aligned with and promotes the implementation of the new Bloomington Comprehensive Plan. Additional challenges include significant pressures to develop additional student housing, while ensuring that the scale of that housing does not overwhelm its surroundings, and considering form-based zoning approaches for some portions of the City. The UDO updates were adopted in early 2020.

AURORA - BOULDER - DENVER, COLORADO
Regional AI and Consolidated Plans
One of our team’s most memorable studies, due to the community engagement component, is the Analysis of Fair Housing Choice for the cities of Denver and Aurora. We held two community meetings to celebrate the region’s diversity and gather input on how to address the complexities of housing challenges. These events were held in racially and ethnically concentrated areas, offered interpretation in seven languages, and incorporated food, dancing, music, and housing resource discussions into the programming.
The videos below capture highlights from those meetings.
HOWARD COUNTY, MARYLAND
New Land Development Code Assessment
Although geographically the smallest county in Maryland, Howard County is located on the strategic Baltimore-
Washington corridor and absorbs much of the growth in central Maryland. In the 1960s and 1970s, master
developer Jim Rouse made headlines by choosing Howard County as the site for the brilliantly conceived new
town of Columbia, Maryland – still one of the most successful examples of new town planning in the United
States. In 2017, Clarion Associates was retained to lead Phase 1 of an ambitious effort to develop the first
new development code for the county in many decades. After extensive outreach and engagement with the
many diverse stakeholder groups in Howard County, Clarion Associates produced a Diagnosis and Annotated
Outline that identified strengths and weaknesses and a user-friendly structure for the new regulations. The
Phase 1 document was accepted by Howard County in early 2018, and Clarion Associates was then awarded
Phase 2 of the contract – the drafting of the new current land use regulations. One key challenge will be the
need to sustain Jim Rouse’s visionary approach to the urbanized (but still unincorporated) Columbia area
while allowing flexibility to respond to innovative
development approaches. Additional challenges will
include streamlining administration of development
approvals and enforcement, refocusing
development approaches along the busy Route 1
and Route 40 corridors, and balancing pressures for
agricultural production and residential development
in rural portions of Howard County. The project is
scheduled to be completed in 2021.

BOULDER, COLORADO
Middle Market Housing Study
For the City of Boulder, Heidi Aggeler and Mollie Fitzpatrick examined trends in the affordability of attached housing products relative to single family detached units. In addition to a comprehensive analysis of historical sales records, we conducted in-person interviews with developers of attached housing products—both rental and for sale—to understand the key challenges of building affordable housing in Boulder. We also created pro formas to measure development costs of various attached products now and in 15 years (see figure at right). This study also involved a forecast of the product types that would no longer be affordable to moderate income households if price increases continue, as well as an analysis of the City’s downpayment assistance policy to determine if increasing the amount would expand options for purchase.

FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
Land Use Code Audit
Clarion Associates led a multidisciplinary team that in a major
effort to update the City’s City Plan (comprehensive plan),
Transportation Master Plan, and Strategic Transit Plan. A key
objective of this effort was to incorporate a range of new
programs, goals, and efforts begun by the City of Fort Collins
since the plans were last updated in 2011, including the City’s
ambitious goal to be carbon neutral by 2050. Five areas of
focus emerged from a robust community and stakeholder
engagement process: making the most of the land Fort
Collins has left; taking steps to support a healthy and resilient
economy; encouraging more housing options; expanding
transportation and mobility options; and maintaining a focus
on climate action. The updated plan was unanimously adopted
in April 2019.
Following adoption, Clarion conducted an audit of the Land
Use Code (LUC) to help City staff understand regulatory
strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in the context
of the updated plan. Key element of the audit included an
overall review of the Land Use Code to identify broad areas
where standards and processes fail to promote or are out of
alignment with the updated plan. A specific focus was placed
on opportunities to remove barriers within the LUC to help
support City Plan priorities related to:
• Housing diversity and affordability
• Transit-oriented development and mixed-use
• Evolving employment needs
• Nature in the City
The LUC Audit is being used by City staff to guide incremental
Land Use Code revisions and other implementation strategies.

Boulder County, Colorado Strategic Plan Facilitation. Heidi was recently asked to
facilitate a strategic planning process with city/county staff and housing authorities in
Boulder County to develop joint housing solutions. She facilitated discussions in two
workshop sessions, which provided the foundation for the first county-wide, collaborative
housing plan.
City of Westminster Housing Strategy. This six month process brought together city
department representatives from economic development/housing, code enforcement,
public safety, legal, and finance; local advocates; and representatives from the residential
development field, to consider a wide variety of potential strategies to increase housing
affordability and housing choice. The committee met monthly and together produced
recommendations that were adopted by City Council and became the basis for the housing
department’s five-year workplan.
Baltimore Regional Zoning Barriers Review. In the Baltimore region, Heidi analyzed the
zoning and land use code of five municipalities to identify barriers to inclusive housing
development. The included analyzing the amount and location of land zoned to
accommodate multifamily and middle-market products; determining affordable rentals that
had been created by zoning district; and assessing discriminatory effects of jurisdictional
application of state-allowed Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances (APFOs), which govern
the allocation of building permits.
Las Cruces, New Mexico Housing Needs Strategic Plan and Best Practices Analysis.
Heidi assisted the City of Las Cruces’ Ad Hoc Committee on Affordable Housing develop
recommendations for better addressing the city’s housing needs. The study involved a
comprehensive analysis of best practices in other communities covering housing trust
funds, inclusionary zoning, shared equity models, land trusts, land banking, and zoning
reforms.
Denver Zoning Incentives study. Heidi is currently leading a project with Community
Planning and Development in the City and County of Denver to examine the feasibility and
effectiveness of private sector density bonuses in producing affordable housing. Our team
is researching best practices in peer cities; building development pro formas to explore the
feasibility of a variety of incentives beyond base building heights; and modeling incentive
outcomes by household Area Median Income (AMI) and household size.
Heidi Aggeler started her research and consulting career as an economic analyst at the Federal Reserve and an auditor for the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC). She joined her former firm in 1999, became

REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Brian Heaston, Engineer III - Water
Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
Mitch Reister, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign an Amendment One to the Professional
Services Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. for Final Design, Equipment
Procurement, Bidding, and Construction Administration Services for the
Bozeman Water Reclamation Facility Solids Handling Building Project
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to sign an amendment one to a professional
services agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. for design, equipment
procurement, and construction administration services for the Bozeman
Water Reclamation Facility Solids Handling Building Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:The Bozeman Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Solids Handling Building
Project will expand the capacity of the solids handling process at the WRF
through the installation of a new solids screw press and building expansion
to a house sludge conveyor and sludge haul trucks. The project also includes
the addition of a new headworks screen within the original headworks
building to provide screening capacity for large materials entering the WRF
to protect downstream finer screens within the new headworks building.
The project is necessary to add capacity and redundancy to the existing
headworks and solids handling processes to support increased influent flows
related to population growth.
Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) attached hereto
provides professional engineering services for final design, equipment
procurement, bidding, and construction administration services. The new
screw press and headworks screen will be independently procured by the
City and provided to the general contractor awarded a construction contract
upon completion of project bidding.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
110
FISCAL EFFECTS:The negotiated fee for this Amendment 1 to the PSA totals $129,997, which
when added to the original PSA fee of $207,100 amounts to a total
engineering fee of $337,097 for the project.
Project costs are funded through CIP Project WW49 (FY2019 & FY2021),
Project WW76 (FY2021) and Project WW110 (FY2022), which when summed
provide a total funding amount of $3,125,000. The remaining amount of
$2,787,903 is allocated to fund equipment procurement and construction.
The engineers estimate for the project base bid and equipment costs total
$2,642,121, which is under the remaining amount allocated to cover these
costs. Sufficient funding is available to cover Amendment 1, equipment
procurement, and estimated construction costs.

REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
Mitch Reister, Public Works Director
Kirstin Donald, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5258, Requesting Distribution of Bridge and Road Safety and
Accountability Program Fees
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Finance
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Resolution 5258, requesting distribution of Bridge and Road Safety
and Accountability Program Fees.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
HB 473, passed by the 65th Legislature and signed by Governor Bullock on
May 3, 2017, provides for a graduated increase in the motor fuel tax by fiscal
year 2023 (6 cents in gasoline/2 cents in diesel). Each fiscal year, 35% or $9.8
million of the proceeds (whichever is greater) is allocated to the Montana
Department of Transportation (MDT) and the remainder (approximately $21
million by FY2021) is allocated to local governments through a new a Bridge
and Road Safety and Accountability Program (BaRSAA).
The allocation of the motor fuel tax revenues refers to the MDT calculation
of and notification to local governments of the amounts available for each
entity on an annual basis. Under HB 473, MDT will begin to assess the new
tax on July 1, 2017. Fuel that is distributed in a month is reported to MDT on
the 25th of the following month, and the tax on that fuel is then collected 5
days later. Therefore, the first allocation of funds by MDT on March 1, 2018
will consist of the additional motor fuel tax revenues collected for July-
October, 2017 (“FY2018 BaRSAA funds”). Every year thereafter, the
allocation will consist of a full 12 months of collections.
MDT will allocate the collected funds to cities, towns, counties, and
consolidated city-county governments using the same ratios used to
128
distribute existing motor fuel tax revenues to local governments through the
highway restricted account as set forth in Section 15-70-101(2)(b), (2)(c), and
(3), MCA. The new funds will be held in a separate BaRSAA account until
distributed.
The distribution of BaRSAA funds refers to the actual disbursement of
allocated or reserved BaRSAA funds from MDT to local governments. Local
governments must match all distributions from the BaRSAA account with a
minimum 5% funding match. MDT is using the WebGrants online application
system to accept requests for distribution of BaRSAA allocations by local
governments. This system will allow for electronic entry of the information
necessary for the distribution of funds to local governments.
A request for the distribution of funds must include:
1. The amount of funding sought (up to but not exceeding the amount
allocated for that year and any prior years’ reservations);
2. Copy of an adopted resolution to request and accept the funding by
the governing body, identifying the source of the matching funds for
the distribution; and
3. Description of the project or projects to be funded.
This resolution is our request as outlined in number 2 and 3 above to receive
our funding for the project outlined in the Capital Improvement Plan and
adopted in the fiscal year 2020 budget. We have selected the following
project:
SIF113 Griffen (7th to Rouse)- CONSTRUCTION
Construction west of Griffen corridor improvements from North 7 th to Rouse
to an urban minor arterial standard. Designed improvements will improve
level of service at the key intersections and will increase capacity in the
corridor as a whole. Connectivity already exists at this location, it is capacity
which is being expanded. Future developments which impact this
intersection area may not be allowed to proceed until improvement as are in
place. Functionality of the network at large is dependent on this element
functioning as intended.
The project estimated cost is $1,500,000 with $864,776.39 covered by
BaRSAA funding and $635,223.10 funded through Street Impact Fees and
129
Arterial and Collector District assessments.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The funds will be requested and spent on the project as outlined in the
Capital Improvement Plan and approved in the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget. The
project estimated cost is $1,500,000 with $864,776.39 covered by BaRSAA
funding and $635,223.10 funded through Street Impact Fees and Arterial
and Collector District assessments.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 5264, Authorizing Prime Change Order #8 with Langlas and
Association for Construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Resolution 5264, authorizing Prime Change Order #8 with Langlas
and Association for construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center.
STRATEGIC PLAN:3.1 Public Safety: Support high quality public safety programs, emergency
preparedness, facilities, and leadership.
BACKGROUND:On July 27, 2020, the City Commission approved the Guaranteed Maximum
Price Amendment for Construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center as a
part of the General Construction/Construction Manager agreement. This
amendment contains provisions for altering the conditions of the agreement
as authorized by the owner (City). The Safety Center budget contains both
owner and contractor contingencies to address unforeseen conditions, scope
gaps, and owner requested changes. While every reasonable attempt was
made to include everything in the original project plans and specs, projects
of this size and complexity require changes during construction. The changes
included in this request are reasonable and are within existing contingency
amounts and overall project budget as authorized by the City Commission.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The net amount identified in Change Order #8 is within the approved
contingency amounts and authorized project budget.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 5265, Authorizing Prime Change Order #9 with Langlas and
Associates for Construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Approve Resolution 5265, Authorizing Prime Change Order #9 with Langlas
and Associates for construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center.
STRATEGIC PLAN:3.1 Public Safety: Support high quality public safety programs, emergency
preparedness, facilities, and leadership.
BACKGROUND:On July 27, 2020, the City Commission approved the Guaranteed Maximum
Price Amendment for Construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center as a
part of the General Construction/Construction Manager agreement. This
amendment contains provisions for altering the conditions of the agreement
as authorized by the owner (City). The Safety Center budget contains both
owner and contractor contingencies to address unforeseen conditions, scope
gaps, and owner requested changes. While every reasonable attempt was
made to include everything in the original project plans and specs, projects
of this size and complexity require changes during construction. The changes
included in this request are reasonable and are within existing contingency
amounts and overall project budget as authorized by the City Commission.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The net amount identified in Change Order #9 is within the approved
contingency amounts and authorized project budget.

We reserve the right to correct this quote for errors and omissions.
This quote covers direct costs only, and we reserve the right to claim for impact and consequential costs.
This price is good for acceptance within 10 days from the date of receipt.
We request a time extension of x days.
The following is our Division 16 pricing for PR007 which involves adding exterior receptacles in
two locations on the building.
Note: This proposal is only for the receptacles on the building, a separate proposal will be
submitted for the site pole receptacle.
The cost of adding an exterior receptacle in either area A or area D is the same as they are being
extended from nearby existing circuits. This pricing is for ONE RECEPTACLE in either location.
Should both locations be accepted, the cost would be double of this proposal.
Please advise on the acceptance of which locations are accepted should they be approved.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jacob Miller, Planner I
Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Martin Matsen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Ordinance 2062, Final Adoption to Revise Language for Clarity and
Consistent Application of First Floor Required Height Standards in Five
Mixed-Use and Non-Residential Zoning Districts, and Revise Paragraph A.1 of
Subchapter 4b of the Bozeman Guidelines for Historic Preservation and the
Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. No changes to Maximum
Height Dimensional Standards are Included with this Amendment. Revise
Affected Sections to Implement the City Commission Directed Revisions
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials,
public comment, and all information presented, I hereby adopt the findings
presented in the staff report for Application 20147 and adopt Ordinance
2062, the Building Heights Part 1 Text Amendment.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:This text amendment revises language for clarity and consistent application
of first floor required height standards in five non-residential zoning districts,
and revises paragraph a.1 of subchapter 4b of the Bozeman Guidelines for
Historic Preservation and the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District.
No changes to maximum height dimensional standards are included with this
amendment. Revise affected sections to implement the revisions.
At the public hearing, the City Commission directed a change in wording in
response to public comment. That change caused a need to adjust additional
sections for consistency in wording throughout Chapter 38 of the municipal
code. This text amendment has been modified to reflect direction received
from public comment and the City Commission meeting held on December
15, 2020. The ordinance was provisionally adopted on December 15, 2020.
Staff determined that the changes were not significant enough to justify
separate findings and therefore the staff report from December 15th stands
as originally presented to the City Commission. Due to the changes and after
163
discussion with City legal staff it was decided it was appropriate to have the
City Commission again provisionally adopt the revised amendment. This text
amendment was again provisionally adopted by City Commission at the
meeting held on January 26, 2020.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As identified by City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
will be changed by this amendment.

Section 4
That 38.510.030.M, Structured parking facility development standards, of the Bozeman Municipal
Code be amended as follows:
[M. Structured parking facility development standards.][3]
1. All above ground structured parking facilities must conform to the design standards
herein and the designated block frontage in section 38.510.030. In the event of a conflict
between block frontage standards and the standards of this section, the standards of this
section will govern. Exceptions:
a. Single-household dwellings and individual townhouse and multi-household units
with physically separated individual drive aisles. Physical separation is provided
when at least one of these options are provided: Individual garage doors for each
interior parking space; a vegetated planter not less than four feet in width between
the parking spaces in the driveway area; or a wall not less than four feet in height and
length, is provided between the parking area in the driveway and dividing the garage
entrance; and
b. For development in the R-5 and B-2M districts, the applicable structured parking
provisions in division 38.500 (Block Frontage Standards) take precedence over any
conflicting provisions of division 38.340 or related standards in this section.
2. Building standards.
a. Intent: To promote an active and diverse streetscape, parking structures should be
located behind buildings in the interior of blocks or below grade. Parking garages
that front streets must line the parking garage at the street level with an active use.
(1) Street designs accommodate on street parking and pedestrian mobility. Parking lots
and garages rarely front the streets, and are typically relegated to the rear of the lot
and the center of blocks.
(2) Parking garages should be located in the interior of blocks. Parking garages that
front onto streets must provide a lining of retail, office, or residential use at the street
level along the entire street frontage.
b. In all districts, all commercial floor space wrapping must provide a minimum 20
foot depth of habitable and conditioned space as defined by the most currently
adopted IBC.
c. In all districts, commercial space depth will be considered where the applicant can
successfully demonstrate the proposed alternative design and configuration of the
space is viable for a variety of permitted commercial uses.
d. In all districts, residential active use areas must be 12 feet in depth, except for riser
room, trash areas and other functional uses that must face the street.
e. In all districts, all commercial floor space wrapping a parking structure on the ground
floor must have a minimum floor to ceiling floor height of 13 15 feet.
173
Ordinance 2062, Building Height Clarification Revisions
Page 10 of 13
f. Structured parking facilities must provide transparency along at least 50 percent of
the linear length of the building's façade. This may be achieved with windows,
displays, building lobbies, building entrances, display windows, or windows
affording views into the building. This requirement applies to both frontages of a
building located on a corner lot.
(1) The bottom edge of any window or product display window used to satisfy the
transparency standard of this subsection B.3 may not be more than four feet above the
adjacent sidewalk.
(2) Product display windows used to satisfy these requirements must have a minimum
height of four feet and be internally lighted.
g. Street-level openings on parking structures must be limited to those necessary for
retail store entrances, vehicle entrance and exit lanes, and pedestrian entrances to
stairs and elevator lobbies. Parking structures adjacent to streets must have
architectural detailing such as, but not limited to, standard size masonry units such
as brick, divided openings to give the appearance of windows, and other techniques
to provide an interesting and human-scaled appearance on the story adjacent to the
sidewalk.
h. Buildings must be articulated with modules, architectural detailing, individual floors
visually expressed in the façade, and rhythm and pattern of openings and surfaces
must be human-scale.
i. Buildings must be oriented to the adjacent public or private street.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Kellen Gamradt, Engineer II
Taylor Lonsdale, Engineer III
Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer
Mitch Reister, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:Public Hearing on Protests for Special Improvement District (SID) No. 762
and Adoption of Resolution 5250, Creating SID No. 762 for the Purpose of
Undertaking Certain Local Improvements to South 6th Avenue Between
Babcock Street and Cleveland Street and Financing the Costs Thereof
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:After incorporating the information and findings in the staff memorandum,
oral findings made by the Commission during the public hearing, information
and findings contained in the proposed resolution, and after considering
public comment and hearing all protests and finding them to be insufficient
under law to bar further proceedings, I hereby move to adopt Resolution
5250, creating Special Improvement District No. 762 for the purpose of
financing local improvements to South 6th Avenue between Babcock Street
and Cleveland Street.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:At its February 2, 2021 meeting the City Commission adopted Resolution
5249, declaring it to be the intention of the City Commission to create
Special Improvement District (SID) No. 762 (the “District”) for the purpose of
undertaking certain local improvements to South 6th Avenue between
Babcock Street and Cleveland Street and financing the costs thereof. In
accordance with Montana Code Annotated (MCA) Title 7-12 Part 41, notice
of the passage of this Resolution was published in the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle on February 7, 2021 and February 14, 2021 and mailed to all
property owners to be assessed. This established the "Protest Period" as
February 8, 2021 to February 24, 2021 at 5:00 PM.
Pursuant to Section 7-12-4113, MCA, no further proceedings may be taken
on creation of a Special Improvement District if the Commission finds protest
has been made by the owners of property in the district to be assessed for
more than 50% of the cost of the proposed work. Within the Protest Period,
2 protests were filed with the City Clerk by the property owners of 2 parcels,
representing 2.26% percent of the total costs of the improvements to be
178
assessed against properties in the District, as proposed.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:As discussed above, SID creation is subject to protest by the property owners
to be assessed. The sufficiency of protest is outlined in 7-12-4113, MCA.
Simply stated, if protest is made by property owners to be assessed for more
than 50% of the costs of the proposed work, further proceedings are barred
for six months. Should this occur, our plan is to move on to the next street
which needs reconstruction. There are more than enough streets requiring
reconstruction to keep us busy for a number of years to come. However, at
some point in the future, the community at large will not be able to absorb
the displaced traffic that will result from the failure to reconstruct local
streets that are a critical component of the City’s street network. . At that
time, the Commission will be asked to provide direction on how to finance
local street improvements in the face of local opposition to SIDs.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Current Budget: The FY22 Approved Budget anticipated the reconstruction
of W. Harrison Street (between Willson and S. 8th Avenue) with a total
project cost of $1,436,474; 25% from the Street Reconstruction Funds
($359,118) and 75% SID financed through the SID ($1,077,355).
Homeowners did not accept this project and the project has been moved to
the bottom of the list of local street improvement projects. The South 6th
Avenue project was moved forward. If SID 762 is created a budget
amendment will be needed to increase the total appropriation by $755,526
to $2,192,000.
Project Costs: The total estimated cost of the street and storm drain
improvements are $2,192,000. The City can commit, per its policy,
$1,410,870.02 from the Street Reconstruction fund to reduce the costs to
the SID, leaving $781,129.98 to be funded by the SID. In addition, the SID
will be responsible for an estimated $1,000 in incidental costs related to the
creation of the SID for a total of $781,129.98.
If the Commission adopts Resolution 5249 based on the recommended
method of assessment, that is, linear feet lot frontage, then for an average
residential lot with 60 ft. of frontage, the total estimated assessment would
be $8,464.20. At the current estimated interest rate of 2% (1.5% estimated
interest on the interfund loan discussed below, plus 0.5% simple interest on
assessments in accordance with 7-12-4189, MCA), a typical property would
be assessed including interest approximately $515.56 annually over a period
of twenty years.
Financing. Costs and expenses of construction of the Improvements will be
paid for by assessments levied against benefitted properties; we propose to
finance the initial construction costs by transferring excess money in the
City’s SID Revolving Fund to the General Fund and then loaning these monies
to the North Tracy SID.
179
Years ago, the City created an SID Revolving Fund, the purpose of which is to
“secure prompt payment of any special improvement district bonds or
warrants issued in payment of improvements made.” See 7-12-4221, MCA.
State law does not authorize the City to loan money directly from the SID
Revolving Fund to a SID construction fund to finance improvements to be
paid for by assessments on properties. State law does authorize transferring
excess funds of the SID Revolving Fund to the General Fund. See 7-12-4227,
MCA. The City’s SID Revolving Fund has cash in excess of the statutorily
required amount (10% of outstanding SID debt). The minimum amount the
City must transfer and maintain for this SID in the Revolving Fund to comply
with statutory requirements is $51,050.
For this SID, we recommend transferring a portion of this excess in an
amount equal to the portion of the improvements to be assessed against
benefitted property in the District to the General Fund to be deposited into
a new SID fund within the General Fund. The purpose of the transfer is to
have the General Fund underwrite the SID’s share of the costs of the
Improvements through an “interfund loan” to the SID 762 construction fund
with a 20-year repayment term at 2.0% interest.
An interfund loan has a number of benefits, including a lower interest rate
for the District property owners, and avoidance of the costs and time-
consuming work of underwriting a bond sale. The SID Fund within the
General Fund will be paid back as property owners make their payments
over time, with interest.
Should SID 762 be created, we will present the Commission a proposed
resolution approving the transfer of the excess SID Revolving Fund to the
General Fund, a resolution approving the interfund loan documents, and a
proposed budget amendment resolution for the Street Reconstruction
Fund.

Bozeman, Montana, to wit:
Section 1
181
Resolution 5250 – Creation of SID 762 Page 2 of 3
Passage of Resolution of Intention.This Commission, on February 2, 2021, adopted the
Resolution of Intention, pursuant to which this Commission declared its intention to create the
District, under Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 12, Parts 41 and 42, as amended,
for the purpose of financing costs of certain local improvements within the District
described generally therein (the "Improvements"), and paying costs incidental thereto,
including costs associated with the creation and administration of the District,and the funding
of a Loan from the City's Special Improvement District RevolvingFund (the "Loan").
Section 2
Notice of Passage of the Resolution of Intent and Public Hearing on Protests. Notice of passage
of the Resolution of Intention was duly published and mailed in all respects in accordance with
law, and on March 2, 2021, this Commission conducted a public hearing on written protests
submitted by property owners against the creation of the District and the making of the
Improvements. The public hearing occurred on the date of the first regular meeting of the
Commission following the expiration of the period ended 15 days after the first date of
publication of the notice of passage of the Resolution of Intention (the ''Protest Period").
Section 3
Protests. Within the Protest Period, 2 protests were filed with the City Clerk by the property
owners of two parcels, representing 2.26% percent of the total costs of the Improvements to be
assessed against properties in the District, as proposed.
Section 4
Creation of the District; Insufficiency of Protests. The Commission determines the District is
hereby created on the terms and conditions set forth herein and otherwise in accordance with
the Resolution of Intention, as modified hereby. The protests against the creation of the
District or the making of the Improvements filed during the Protest Period are hereby found
to be insufficient. The findings and determinations made in the Resolution of Intention,
including, without limitation, those relating to benefits conferred, costs associated with the
borrowing of funds from the City's special improvement district revolving fund, and for the
creationand administration of the District,are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Section 5
Reimbursement Expenditures.
5.01. Declaration of Intent. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures
made for costs of the Improvements out of the proceeds of the Loan from the City's
special improvement district revolving loan fund in an estimated maximum aggregate
principal amount of $782,129.98 after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs
of the Improvements. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost
of issuance of the Loan, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement.
The Commission intends to assess the District to reimburse the special improvement
district revolving loan fund in an amount equal to the principal of the Loan of
182
Resolution 5250 – Creation of SID 762 Page 2 of 3
$782,129.98 to the District plus interest at approximately 2.5% annually. Over the 20-
year term of the Loan from the revolving fund to the District, interest earnings of up to
$170,723.30 are estimated to be paid from the District property owners and deposited to
the special improvement district revolving fund. In addition to reimbursing the revolving
fund on interest the revolving fund would otherwise earn, these interest earnings
are intended to satisfy any revolving fund contribution from the district that may be
required under 7-12-4222(l)(b),MCA.
5.02. Budgetary Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved,
allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent
financing for the expenditures related to the Improvements, other than pursuant to the
Loan from the City's special improvement district revolving loan fund. The statement
of intent contained in this resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the
City's budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable
on the date hereof.
5.03. Reimbursement Allocations. The City's financial officer shall be responsible for
making the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Resolution of Intention being
generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Loan to reimburse
the source of temporary financing used by the City to make prior payment of the costs
of the Improvements. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official
books and records of the City maintained for the Loan or the Improvements and shall
specifically identify the actual original expenditure being reimbursed.

Special Improvement District No. 762 for Local Improvements to S. 6th
MEETING DATE:March 2, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Move to approve Resolution 5259, confirming the issuance of warrants in
connection with Special Improvement District No. 762 for local
improvements to S. 6th.
STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable
sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean
and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:
At its February 2, 2021 meeting the City Commission adopted Resolution
5249, declaring it to be the intention of the City Commission to create
Special Improvement District (SID) No. 762 (the “District”) for the purpose of
undertaking certain local improvements to South 6th Avenue between
Babcock Street and Cleveland Street and financing the costs.
The District’s share of the cost of construction of the improvements will be
paid for by assessments levied against benefitted properties. Costs of the
improvements will be financed by an interfund loan from the Street
Reconstruction Fund to the S. 6th SID by purchasing warrants issued by the
District. The assessments collected from the District property owners will be
used to make the warrant payments.
An interfund loan has a number of benefits, including a lower interest rate
for the District property owners, and avoidance of the costs and time-
consuming work of underwriting a bond sale.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission.
186
FISCAL EFFECTS:The City’s SID Revolving Fund has cash in excess of the statutorily required
amount (10% of outstanding SID debt). The minimum amount the City must
transfer and maintain for this SID in the Revolving Fund to comply with
statutory requirements is $51,050.
For this SID, we recommend transferring a portion of this excess in an
amount equal to the portion of the improvements to be assessed against
benefitted property in the District to the General Fund to be deposited into
a new SID fund within the General Fund. The purpose of the transfer is to
have the Street Reconstruction Fund underwrite the SID’s share of the costs
of the Improvements through an “interfund loan” to the SID 762
construction fund with a 20-year repayment term at 2.0% interest.

COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 5259
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
RELATING TO SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 762; AUTHORIZING
INTERFUND LOAN AND CITY WARRANTS IN CONNECTION WITH FINANCING
COSTS OF CERTAIN LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS TO S. 6TH BETWEEN BABCOCK
STREET AND CLEVELAND STREET.
WHEREAS, on the 2nd day of February, 2021, the City Commission (the “Commission”) of the City
of Bozeman, Montana (the “City”) adopted Commission Resolution No. 5250 (the “Resolution of
Intention”), stating its intent to create Special Improvement District No. 762(the “District”) to finance
the costs of various improvements within the District as described therein (the “Improvements”); and
WHEREAS, as set forth in the Resolution of Intention, the Commission committed other Street
Maintenance District funds to the costs of the project; and
WHEREAS, on February 7th and February 14th, 2021, the City Clerk did publish a Notice of Passage
of the Resolution of Intent to Create SID No. 762 in accordance with Sect. 7-12-4106, MCA, and
mailed said notice to each person, firm, or corporation or the agent of the person, firm or corporation
having real property within the proposed District; and
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission conducted a public hearing on protests submitted to the
creation of the District on March 2, 2021 and did pass on all such protests having found the written
protests not sufficient to bar the Commission from proceeding with creation of the District.; and
WHEREAS, the Bozeman City Commission on March 2, 2021 adopted Resolution 5259, authorizing
the transfer of excess monies of the Special Improvement District Revolving Fund (the “Revolving
Fund”) to the Street Reconstruction Fund to purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to make funds
available to finance the District’s share of the costs of the Improvements including the Incidental Costs
(“District’s Share of Improvements”), such Warrants to be held by the Street Reconstruction Fund and
drawn against the SID 762 S. 6th Special Assessment Fund (the “Special Assessment Fund”); and
WHEREAS, the Resolution of Intention and Resolution of Creation contemplate that special
assessments levied against benefited properties in the District will repay the City’s Street
Reconstruction Fund for the District’s Share of the Improvements plus Incidental Costs in connection
with the Improvements.
WHEREAS, the City Finance Director has notified the City Clerk, pursuant to Section 7-6-4603, that
the designated amounts have been invested; and
188
WHEREAS, the City Commission desires to authorize, ratify, and confirm the sale of warrants for the
purpose of purchasing said Improvements from the Street Reconstruction Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman,
Montana, as follows:
Section 1
Construction Funds, Accounts, and Amounts. In anticipation of the receipt of special assessments
levied against the benefitted properties in the District, the Street Reconstruction Fund of the City will
transfer to the SID 762 Construction Account (the “Construction Account”) of the City a total of
$781,129.98 to pay the District’s Share of Improvements (the “Interfund Loan”).
Section 2
Special Assessments and SID Account. In accordance with the Resolution of Intention, the City
determined to charge interest on the principal amount of the special assessments at the rate of 2.5%
per annum for a period of twenty years in accordance with §7-12-4189, MCA. The City created the
Special Assessment Fund for deposit of special assessments levied by the City and paid by the
owners of benefitted properties in the District. Levies of special assessments, using the lot frontage
method of assessment, are levied against the benefitted properties in the District such that the special
assessments come due on November 30 and May 31 of each fiscal year, with the initial installment of
special assessments becoming due November 30, 2021, and the final installment coming due on May
31, 2041.
Section 3
Repayment of Street Reconstruction Fund. The Commission confirms the obligation of the District
to repay from amounts on hand in such account from receipts of special assessments amounts loaned
by the Street Reconstruction Fund to pay costs of the Improvements, together with interest thereon.
The Commission authorizes the issuance by the City of serial warrants evidencing the right of the
Street Reconstruction Fund to repayments for amounts lent to finance costs of the Improvements and
to be repaid by special assessment receipts deposited in the Special Improvement District Fund. The
serial warrants also evidence an investment of the City of monies in the Street Reconstruction Fund,
with such investment being made from amounts the City has under its control in the Street
Reconstruction Fund and for which there is not immediate demand. Such warrants are 20 in number,
and are due and owing annually on June 30th, commencing June 30, 2021 and concluding June 30,
2041. The obligation of the Special Assessment Fund to repay the Street Reconstruction Fund is
further evidenced by a Memorandum of Interfund Loan in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, which includes an exhibit thereto setting forth the form of City warrants.
189
Section 4
Compliance with Montana Law. Section 7-12-4201, MCA, provides that all costs and expenses
incurred in any special improvement district in the acquisition or construction of any improvement
specified in Title 7, chpt. 12, part 41, MCA, shall be paid from special improvement district bonds or
warrants. The warrants substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 to Exhibit A are
drawn against the advances made by the Street Reconstruction Fund to the Construction Account and
the corresponding advances made from such construction account to pay costs and expenses of the
Improvements. In accordance with Section 7-12-4203 through 7-12-4206, MCA, the Commission
finds that the terms of the Interfund Loan described above, given due consideration to the range of
financing options available to the City, the fixed interest rate of 2.0% on such loan for a term of
twenty years results in the lowest possible level of special assessments against benefited properties in
the District and therefore the most affordable financing alternative for the owners of such properties
as the City could not reasonably obtain financing for costs of the Improvements from third-party
sources at a lower fixed interest rate for a term of twenty years. In particular, the City finds the fixed
interest rate on the warrants of 2.0% per annum satisfies the “highest and best bidder” standard set
forth in Section 7-12-4204, MCA. This Commission determines that it has funds under its control in
the Street Reconstruction Fund for which there is no immediate demand and that in the judgment of
the Commission it would be advantageous to invest such amount in warrants of the City.
Accordingly, the Commission determines to invest $781,129.98 of funds in the Street Reconstruction
Fund in the purchase of warrants issued by the SID to be held by the Street Reconstruction Fund of
the City, with the acquisition of such warrants being evidenced by transfers of funds from the Street
Reconstruction Fund to the Construction Account to pay costs of the Improvements in anticipation of
the receipt of special assessments in the Special Improvement District Fund to repay such warrants
together with interest thereon. Special assessments levied by the City under Title 7, Chapter 2, Part
41, MCA to repay the warrants create a priority lien against each benefited property in the District in
favor of the city for the repayment of the warrants that may be enforced and foreclosed in the manner
provided by law to repay the warrants.
Section 5
Details Regarding Warrants. The total aggregate principal amount of the warrants acquired by the
Street Reconstruction Fund of the City is $781,129.98, to consist of twenty (20) separate warrants
payable annually on June 30th, with interest commencing on the date of making the Interfund Loan
by transferring $781,129.98 of funds in the Street Reconstruction Fund to the Construction Account,
such date also being the date of registration of the warrants per 7-12-4203(1)(a))with the first
warrant due on June 30, 2021 and the last warrant due on June 30, 2041. Each warrant bears interest
on the amount outstanding at the rate of 2.0% from the date of issue thereof until its payment date as
set forth on the face of each warrant, resulting in a total interest payment of $174,296.94 over the
190
twenty-year term. The warrants shall be registered in the offices of City Clerk and the City Treasurer
and the determination of the City Treasurer to purchase the warrants from amounts in the Street
Reconstruction Fund, with such purchase being evidenced by the transfer of funds from the Street
Reconstruction Fund to the Construction Account and subsequent transfers from the Construction
Account to pay costs and expense of the Improvements, is hereby authorized. The warrants shall
bear the signatures of the Mayor and City Clerk. The City Treasurer has notified the City Clerk to
draw the warrants in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 to Exhibit A.
Section 6
Effect of Resolution. The Commission hereby confirms the Street Reconstruction Fund, which shall
hold the warrants, is entitled to repayment, with interest, of the amounts made available for the
Improvements, and that the Warrants constitute an investment by the City of available amounts in the
Street Reconstruction Fund.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman,
Montana, at a regular session thereof held on the ___ day of ___________, 2019.

undertaken pursuant to the creation of Special Improvement District (“SID”) No. 750 (the
“District”).
Background:
A. The City, by Resolution No. 5249, adopted by the City Commission (the “Commission”) on
February 2, 2021 (the “Resolution of Intention”) sought to create the District for the purpose
of financing costs of the Improvements in anticipation of the receipt of special assessments
levied against benefited properties in the District to repay the Loan to be made by the Street
Reconstruction Fund to finance the District’s share of the estimated costs of the
Improvements of $781,129.98 as stated in Resolution No. 5249.
B.The City duly mailed and caused to be published a notice of passage of the Resolution of
Intention and afforded owners of the benefited properties the opportunity to protest the
creation of the District in accordance with Montana law. The owners of two parcels within
the District boundaries, representing 5.75% of the total costs of the Improvements, protested
the creation of SID 762.
C.Following a public hearing and finding that insufficient protests by owners of benefited
properties were timely made, the Commission, on March 2, 2021, adopted Resolution No.
5250 creating SID 762.
D.The City intends to levy special assessments to give rise to funds to repay the Loan and
desires to acknowledge and set forth certain details with regard to the Loan, including the
192
A-2
issuance by the City of certain warrants held by the Street Reconstruction Fund to evidence
the obligation of the Special Assessment Fund to repay the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City hereby declares as follows:
1.Terms of Interfund Loan. The City hereby authorizes the making of the Loan
effective as of November 1, 2021 (the “Transfer Date”) of $781,129.98 from the Street
Reconstruction Fund to the SID 762 Construction Account of the City (the “Construction
Account”) from available amounts in the Street Reconstruction Fund, the terms of the Loan, and
the obligation of the Special Improvement District Fund to repay the Loan from available
amounts deposited in the Special Improvement District Fund from collections of special
assessments levied against benefited properties in the District. In accordance with Resolutions
5249 and 5250, the total principal amount of the Loan is $781,129.98, the interest rate on the
principal outstanding under the Loan is 2.0%per annum, the term of the Loan is approximately
twenty years commencing on the Transfer Date and concluding June 30, 2041, and the Loan is
payable in twenty (20) annual installments of principal and interest, with each installment in an
equal amount (except that the initial installment may be in a different amount), as evidenced by
the amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1.
2.Obligation to Make Repayments. The City will levy special assessments against the
benefited property in the District in accordance with Resolutions 5249 and 5250. Special
assessments when received by the City must be deposited in the Special Assessment Fund on or
before June 30th, to make installment payments on the Loan to the Street Reconstruction Fund,
commencing June 30, 2021 and concluding June 30, 2041.
3.Right to Receive Payments. To evidence the Loan and a City investment of available
funds, the Street Reconstruction Fund will hold serial warrants, with each warrant corresponding
to each of the annual payments. Such warrants, which are to be issued in accordance with
Section 7-12-4204,MCA, (the City having found that the fixed interest rate of 2.0% per annum
for 20 years makes the City the “highest and best bidder”) are registered in the offices of the City
Treasurer and the City Clerk, drawn in accordance with the instructions of the City Treasurer,
and outstanding until canceled upon receipt of the applicable installment payment from the
Special Assessment Fund. The warrants are in substantially the form of the attached Schedule 2.
Special assessments levied by the City under Title 7, Chapter 12, Part 41, MCA, to repay the
warrants create a priority lien against each benefited property in the District in favor of the City
193
A-3
for the repayment of the warrants that may be enforced and foreclosed in the manner provided by
law to repay the warrants.
4.Details of Payments. Payments from the Special Improvement District Fund to the
Street Reconstruction Fund in satisfaction of each warrant are to be made solely from the
collection of special assessments levied against benefited properties in the District. Each warrant
may be prepaid if the City so elects from available amounts in the Special Improvement District
Fund, or, to maintain a level repayment schedule,the City may elect to hold amounts in the
Special Improvement District Fund to make payments as scheduled by each warrant. The
amounts repaid to the Street Reconstruction Fund in satisfaction of the Loan may be used by the
City in any manner allowed by law.
5.Limited Obligation. The Loan and the warrants that evidence the Loan are made
pursuant to or in compliance with Resolution 5249, Resolution 5250, Section 7-6-4603,MCA,
Section 7-12-4201, MCA, and Sections 7-12-4203 through 7-12-4206, MCA. The Loan is a
limited obligation payable only from payments of special assessments deposited in the Special
Improvement District Fund and the Loan and interest thereon shall not be a Street Reconstruction
obligation of the City and the City shall have no obligation to pay principal of or interest on the
Loan which may remain unpaid after an installment payment date except from available amounts
in the Special Improvement District Fund. If amounts are not available in the Special
Improvement District Fund to pay a warrant as of its maturity date, amounts will first be applied
to pay interest and then principal, as further described in the form of the warrant.
6.Interpretation. This Memorandum of Interfund Loan memorializes the City’s
intention with regard to financing the costs of the Improvements and shall be read liberally to
comport with and to ratify and confirm all prior resolutions, acts, and undertakings of the City,
and all applicable laws of the State of Montana in connection therewith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Memorandum of Interfund Loan is made by the City to confirm
and authorize all matters within its scope as and when such matters arose, including the Loan
194
A-4
effective as of the date of the Transfer Date, and to govern matters within its scope that may in
the future arise.

said Special Improvement District Fund for the redemption thereof, and in the manner provided for the
redemption of the same, and, if sufficient funds are then available in the Special Improvement DistrictFund,
may be prepaid in the discretion of the City.If this warrant is timely paid in full, it will be marked canceled
by the City Treasurer and then filed with the City Clerk.

this warrant upon its maturity and presentation, interest shall first be paid. This warrant shall continue to
accrue interest on a pro-rata basis with other warrants then outstanding at the rate of 2.0 % from the date of
matured presentation until the actual date of redemption. If funds are not available in the Special
Improvement District Fund to pay and redeem this warrant, the City shall have no obligation to pay and
redeem this warrant; provided that the City shall have all rights to enforce the repayment of special
assessments and the lien created thereby against benefited properties in the District to repay this warrant.
It is hereby certified and recited, that all things required to be done precedent to the issuance of this warrant
have been properly done, happened and been performed in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State
of Montana and the resolutions and ordinances of the City related to the issuance hereof.

I love bikes.
After attempts to be more eloquent, I realized that's all there is to it. I believe that the bike is our noblest
invention and that it has healing powers. I can be having a terrible day, and after just a few rotations of my
pedals, a sigh ripples through my body and I return to peace. The bike is one pathway to breath, to the
present.
I am an avid biker of all shapes and sizes - mountain, road, adventure, urban cruise, cyclo-cross, e-, fat,
touring, cruisers, etc. Through sun, snow and those nastier seasons in-between, the bicycle is my primary
vehicle for getting around town.
Just over two years ago, I returned to Bozeman after five years in Seattle where I commuted by bike (except
on just the heaviest downpour days) and explored all corners of the city by bike. That city's biking
infrastructure showed me the potential for what could be: safe, accessible, adequate, prioritized.
I want to join BABAB to advocate for cyclists in our car-dominated world. COVID spurred a massive growth
of the cycling industry in 2020 and the growing adoption of e-bikes will continue this growth. The City of
Bozeman must provide space for us to travel safely and I believe with the right investments and minor
changes to our infrastructure, we can do just that. Beyond safety, the benefits of biking are clear: better

health, connected communities, increased property values and fewer cars trying to park downtown. I look
forward to being part of this change.
From a qualifications perspective, I have participated in organizations since my high school days when I
started the Environmental Club at Whitefish High School. Here at MSU, I led NECO, campus's late, great
environmental organization and participated in student government, ultimately serving as the student body
president. Through both of those organizations, I advocated for and led sustainability initiatives including
the establishment of the MSU Office of Sustainability, a revolving loan fund for utility efficiency projects and
the Student Union Building Solar project. I feel that BABAB is an excellent opportunity to continue
advocating for sustainability in all its forms - environmental, social and economic.

Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences:
I was lucky. I grew up in Missoula's Rattlesnake valley where I had networks of trails and paths to ride
throughout my childhood. As a teenager, started road bike racing and was one of the only junior bike racers
in Montana. I persisted and raced my way on to the U.S. National Team. I spent one season racing semi-
professionally in France before returning to Montana to finish college at Montana State.
After graduating, I joined the marketing team at Rapha, a leader of cycling culture worldwide. Most
recently, I've worked in cycling journalism. I hosted a podcast at the 2018 Tour de France and spent 2019
traveling the U.S. telling stories about alt-surface racing for Cyclingtips.com. I'm currently a Nordic coach for
the Bridger Ski Foundation and freelance writer for cycling brands and events.
I believe lifestyle sports like cycling can and should work to be ever-more egalitarian. Here in Bozeman, we
can build low-angle urban flow trails (LAUF) that bring playfulness of the typically less accessible genre of
mountain biking to people's neighborhoods, parks and public spaces. LAUF trails spur active lifestyles with
easy-to-ride trails and paths that have rolling banks, berms, chicanes, and other such features. With LAUF
trails urban riding becomes more than utility, it's a portal to playfulness and well-being.
We know that incorporating physical activity on a daily basis is keystone to wellness. The city of Bozeman
(with lots of help from GVLT) has made important steps towards LAUF trails with projects like Main Street-
To-The-Mountains.

As our valley grows, we need to push for more urban cycling infrastructure both on the streets and with
trials. When we do, it opens a door to grow the sport.
