FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPEAL PROVISIONS CERTIFICATE
A) PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Article 2, Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), and other applicable sections of Ch.38, BMC, public
notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to affected parties, and a review of the Site Plan described in
this report was conducted. The applicant proposed to the City a Site Plan (SP) to permit the construction of a 30-unit
affordable housing assisted living facility. The purposes of the Site Plan review were to consider all relevant evidence
relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other purposes of Ch. 38, BMC; to evaluate the proposal against the criteria
of Sec. 38.230.100 BMC, and the standards of Ch. 38, BMC; and to determine whether the application should be approved,
conditionally approved, or denied.
B) It appeared to the Director that all parties and the public wishing to examine the proposed Site Plan and offer comment were
provided the opportunity to do so. After receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies established by Ch. 38,
Art. 210, BMC, and considering all matters of record presented with the application and during the public comment period
defined by Ch. 38, BMC, the Director has found that the proposed Site Plan would comply with the requirements of the BMC if
certain conditions were imposed. Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before them regarding this
application, the Director makes the following decision.
C) The Site Plan has been found to meet the criteria of Ch. 38, BMC, and is therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed
in this report and the correction of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Title. The evidence contained in
the submittal materials, advisory body review, public testimony, and this report, justifies the conditions imposed on this
development to ensure that the Site Plan complies with all applicable regulations, and all applicable criteria of Ch. 38, BMC.
On this 18th day of March, 2021, Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development, approved with conditions this Site Plan
for and on behalf of the City of Bozeman as authorized by Sec. 38.200.010, BMC. The approval of this Site Plan shall be
effective for twelve (12) months from the date of Plan approval, which is the 18th day of March 2022. At the end of this period
the Director may, at the request of the developer, extend the approval in accordance with Ch. 38 Art.230, BMC.
D) This Director of Community Development’s project decision may be appealed by filing a documented appeal with and paying
an appeal fee to the Clerk of the Commission for the City of Bozeman within 10 working days after the date of the final decision
as evidenced by the Director’s signature, following the procedures of Sec. 38.250.030, BMC.
