A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, GRANTING TO THE BOZEMAN PARKING COMMISSION THE

ANNOTATED TO REGULATE ON-STREET AND OFF-STREET PARKING IN THE B-3
ZONING DISTRICT AND THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT ONLY DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, the Bozeman Parking Commission was established in 1974 by Commission
Resolution No. 1676 for the construction and acquisition of off-street parking facilities in the B-3 Zoning
District; and
WHEREAS, Commission Resolution No. 1676 was amended in 1976 by Commission Resolution
No. 1839 to limit the authority of the Parking Commission; and

management of the limited parking resources.
