Project Narrative
WILDLANDS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT: Wildlands Development
ADDRESS: 600 N. Wallace Ave
Bozeman, MT 59715
DATE: July 29th, 2021
45 PROJECT #: 20052
The Wildlands Development is a planned renovation and expansion of the existing building located on the corner of Peach Street
and Wallace Ave in Bozeman, Montana. This project, located within the NEHMU and the Conservation overlay, will add new uses
to the site and provide the neighborhood with a semi-public covered plaza area while enhancing, respecting, and complimenting
the existing building and beloved tenants already present.
The existing structure to remain consists of 3 levels, each approximately 4,550 square feet.
• The basement level, currently underutilized, will be improved to provide a bakery prep kitchen artisan food processing
space. This work will be completed under a different permit/contract. Much of the basement (approx.. 1,725 sq ft) will
remain unchanged.
• The main floor currently houses two tenants, Wild Crumb Bakery & Fink’s Delicatessen. The renovation and addition will
aim to minimize impact on these two businesses, which will anchor the mixed-use development going forward. However,
a new fire sprinkler system will be installed throughout both of these spaces.
• The upper level will be renovated with the use changing from office to residential. The two new residential units will both
feature 2 bedrooms. Windows on this level will modified to provide natural light as well as rescuable openings per code.
The expansion structure features 3 levels and will connect to the existing building along the entire north and east elevations. This
connection will occur at the ground level. It will also occur at the upper level via a bridge spanning the gap between the existing and
new portions of the structure. The existing basement level will also be connected via a new egress stair that will replace the existing
exterior stair.
• The first level of the expansion will house a health & exercise tenant near Wallace Ave and the alley at the north edge of
the site. It will also provide space for two more tenants (office and very small restaurant) on the south side of the property
along Peach Street. In both cases, the expansion will seek to establish a storefront block frontage according to Section
38.510.030 of the UDC. Also located at the first level will be an entrance lobby and other accessory spaces for the
residential units above.
• Also located on the first level will be an at-grade fully enclosed parking garage that supports tenants of the building.
The 14 stalls of this garage are within a conditioned space and are designated for tenants only (both residential and
business/commercial). Please refer to sheets G-010 and G-011 (included) for a more in-depth analysis of parking on the site.
• Adjacent to the enclosed parking structure at the northeastern corner of the site will be an uncovered public parking lot
with 15 stalls. The purpose of this lot is to serve the customers of the ground level new and existing tenant businesses. The
building design features a pedestrian access “breezeway” through to the Peach St frontage, allowing for a more walkable
site while still shielding the open lot from view.
• The second level includes two 1-bedroom residences, two full 2-bedroom residences, the bedrooms of two 2-story 2-
bedroom units, as well as one 3-bedroom unit. All of these residences will feature private covered exterior decks.
• The third level of the new expansion will house two full 2-bedroom residences, the living/kitchen spaces of two 2-story 2-
bedroom units, as well as two 3-bedroom units. All of these residences will feature private covered exterior decks.
• The roof of the building is mostly unoccupiable, but it will feature a 732 square foot roof deck accessible by both stairs and
elevator.
Prior to the construction of the expansion, demolition will occur on site to remove some existing abandoned industrial tanks and a
dilapidated warehouse building. This area is currently on a different lot, but as part of the project lot aggregation will be pursued to
join this property with the one on which the existing Wild Crumb/Fink’s building is located.
The tanks are not of historic significance. The warehouse building, originally owned by The Texas Company, has been referred to as

changes in design and materials. Our intention is to demolish this structure entirely prior to the construction of the new expansion.
