WILDLANDS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT: Wildlands Development
ADDRESS: 600 N. Wallace Ave
Bozeman, MT 59715
DATE: December 13, 2021
45 PROJECT #: 20052
The Wildlands Development team would like to address concerns regarding the City of Bozeman
Planning Department’s parking requirements. Per the narrative below, this project is now abiding by the
Unified Development Code, Section 38.540. Revised drawings illustrating the parking on the site are
being provided as part of a second public noticing period. For more information, please contact the
assigned planner, Sarah Rosenberg.
Parking Requirements – Number of spaces required. (Sec. 38.540.050).
Residential uses (see also sheets G-010 & G-011):
Project includes (x12) residential units located on levels 2 and 3. Of these units, (x8) are 2-bedroom
residences and (x4) are 3-bedroom units.
Per Table 38.540.050-1, the parking requirements for these units is as follows:
Dwelling Type Parking Spaces Required per Dwelling
Two-bedroom 2 (1.75 in R-5)
Three-bedroom 3 (2.5 in R-5)
The total number of parking stalls required for residential uses is 28 stalls.
Non-residential uses (see also sheets G-010 & G-011):
Project also includes non-residential uses on level 1. There are existing businesses/uses remaining
in place, for which the parking required/provided will remain essentially the same:
Use Type Space Name / Descript. Off-Street or Off-Road Parking Spaces Required
Restaurant Wild Crumb (main lvl) 1 space per 50 square feet of indoor public serving
area; plus 1 space per 100 square feet of outdoor
(patio) area
Restaurant Fink’s Deli 1 space per 50 square feet of indoor public serving
area; plus 1 space per 100 square feet of outdoor
(patio) area
Manufacturing and
industrial uses
Wild Crumb (basement,
prep kitchen TI
currently under const.)
1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus 1
space per 2 employees on maximum working shift
Wild Crumb is currently required to provide 7 spaces to accommodate their indoor serving area.
Fink’s is currently required to provide 9 spaces to accommodate their indoor serving area.
Wild Crumb is expanding their back-of-house production by building out a prep kitchen in the basement
of the existing structure. This TI is currently required to provide 4 spaces to accommodate employees.
The required parking space subtotal for existing non-residential uses is 20 stalls.

New commercial spaces being built as part of the addition include the following:
Use Type Space Name / Descript. Off-Street or Off-Road Parking Spaces Required
Manufacturing and
industrial uses
Shell A 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus 1
space per 2 employees on maximum working shift

industrial uses
Shell B 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus 1
space per 2 employees on maximum working shift
Manufacturing and
industrial uses
Shell C 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus 1
space per 2 employees on maximum working shift
Restaurant Wildlands Covered
Exterior Plaza
*1 space per 100 sq ft of outdoor serving area
Per these uses, the required parking for each of these spaces is as follows:
Shell A: 1709 sq ft / 1000 sq ft = 1 space required + 1 space for 2 employees.
Shell B: 877 sq ft / 1000 sq ft = 1 space required + 1 space for 2 employees.
Shell C: 1212 / 1000 sq ft = 1 space required + 1 space for 2 employees.
Note that the uses of these spaces are currently hypothetical in nature and the actual leased use of these
space is subject to change. During the TI process for all 3 shells, parking requirements will be subject to
review. If the actual uses vary from those shown during the City of Bozeman Site Plan review process,
the Wildlands team is aware that off-site parking or other such solutions will need to be found to account
for those extra required parking stalls.
In regards to the Covered Exterior Plaza area, the development team wants to secure flexibility to lease this
space as an outdoor seating area (if desired) to existing tenants (Wild Crumb, Fink’s) or new tenants (potential
tenants of Shell B, etc). As such, we have treated this space as if it is a restaurant outdoor seating use although
to date no agreement exists for this space to be used in this manner.
Per the outdoor seating parking requirement, this space is required to provide 3 parking stalls.
The required parking space subtotal for new non-residential uses is 9 stalls.
Total required parking (prior to any reductions):
Category Number of spaces req’d
Residential 28 spaces
Non-residential (existing) 20 spaces
Non-residential (new) 9 spaces
Total req’d spaces 57 spaces
Reductions (see also sheets G-010 & G-011)
First reduction – car sharing agreement [Sec. 38.540.050.A.1.b(3)]
“A car-sharing agreement meeting the criteria established by the community development director
may be used to meet the required number of parking spaces. To use this option the development
must have more than five dwelling units. Each vehicle provided through a car sharing agreement
counts as required parking at a ratio of one dedicated car-share space to five standard spaces,
up to a maximum of 50 percent of the total required residential parking.”
Required residential parking spaces: 28 spaces
Number of vehicles to be provided: 1 vehicle

The project team is seeking a reduction of 5 spaces from the minimum residential parking spaces required.
1 parking space will be provided inside the enclosed garage for this vehicle.
The project team previously contacted Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development,
to start the process of creating a car sharing agreement. Conversations will continue so that all
requirements of the administrative policy Marty shared are met.
Second reduction – residential uses in mixed use projects [Sec. 38.540.050.A.1.b(2)]
“In order to utilize this section, the long term availability of the non-residential parking spaces upon
which the use of this section was based must be ensured to the residents of the project. For the
purpose of this section a building is considered mixed-use if the non-residential portion of the building
is at least one-quarter of the gross square feet not used for parking. Residences in mixed-use buildings
may count on-street parking per subsection 1.a.(1) of this section even if the area is subject to occupancy
time limits. The use of this section does not preclude the use of other sections of this chapter which
may have the effect of reducing the required amount of parking. When calculating the amount of
required parking for residential uses within a mixed-use project the amount of parking may be reduced
subject to Table 38.540.050-2.”
Table 38.540.050-2
Reduction Allowed Ratio of Req’d Non-residential to Required Residential Parking Spaces
50% Greater than 1:1 but less than 3:1
100% Equal to or greater than 3:1
Required non-residential parking spaces: 29 spaces
Required residential parking spaces: 28 spaces
Ratio: 29 / 28 = 1.03
Findings: Our residential parking requirement can be reduced by 50%.
50% of 28 is 14 spaces.
Third reduction – bicycle parking provided [Sec. 38.540.050.A.2.c(6)]
“Property owners' have the option of requesting the reduction of up to ten percent of the required
parking spaces for non-residential uses if:
a. In addition to the minimum otherwise required by this chapter, two covered bicycle parking spaces
are provided for each automobile space not provided; and
b. For each ten or fraction of ten automobile parking stalls reduced, a non-residential shower,
changing area, and five clothing lockers are provided on-site.”
Per this section, the development team has chosen to request a reduction of 3 parking spaces.
Accordingly, the number of covered bike parking spaces required to be provided to qualify for
the reduction is 6 bike spaces.
The project team wants to be good stewards to the community and provide many bike parking options
and so extra bike parking is being provided.
Bicycle Parking Provided:
There are 4 covered spaces located along Wallace Ave. in front of shell A.
There are 6 covered spaces in the bike storage/ dog wash room near the enclosed parking garage.

There are also 10 uncovered bike stalls on the corner of Peach and Wallace.
In addition to these spaces, the design accounts for a shower, changing room and 5+ clothing lockers
near the service/loading entrance (highlighted in yellow on sheet G-010).
Fourth reduction – landscaping in lieu of parking [Sec. 38.540.050.A.3.a]
“Landscaping in lieu of parking. Except in the B-3 district, property owners' have the option of requesting
the deletion of up to five required spaces or ten percent of the required parking spaces, whichever is less,
if 350 square feet of landscaping, trees or streetscaping is installed on the property for each space so deleted.
This does not decrease the amount of landscaping that would have been required with full parking,
but is in addition to such landscaping. This option must be approved by the ADR staff. These improvements
must be placed in the public right-of-way or setbacks directly facing the right-of-way.”
The project team is seeking a reduction of 5 required spaces. As such, the project has been designed
to provide 1,750 sq ft of landscaping for meeting this UDC requirement. For more information, see our
landscape sheets L-2.0 & L-2.1.
Total reductions to required parking:
Category Number of spaces req’d
Car Sharing 5 spaces
Mixed-use Ratio 14 spaces
Bike Parking 3 spaces
Landscape in lieu of parking 5 spaces
Total reduction taken 27 spaces
Revised total req’d 30 spaces
Parking provided (see also sheets G-010 & G-011):
Location Number of spaces
Open / public lot 15 spaces
On-street (Wallace) 3 spaces
Enclosed garage 14 spaces
Subtotal 32 spaces
Space needed for car share 1 space
Provided vs. Req’d +1 space
For more information, please see G-010 and G-011.
