A RESOLUTION OF THE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD ACTING AS THE PARKING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, TO ADOPT ADDITIONAL RULES OF
PROCEDURE FOR CREATING A PARKING BENEFIT ZONE IN THE CITY OF BOZEMAN.
WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman has granted the Transportation Advisory Board acting as
the Parking Commission authority to regulate all on- and off-street parking in the B-3 zoning
district through Resolution 5326; and,
WHEREAS, in order to actively manage public parking resources in areas where on-street
parking may be impacted by large, nearby, attractions such as downtown, commercial,
education, health care, or other facilities, the Bozeman Transportation Advisory Board recognizes
the creation of Parking Benefit Zones, in the Downtown Parking District, as an important
management tool; and,
WHEREAS, the desired outcomes of a Parking Benefit Zone are the facilitation of visitor
parking turnover, reduced need for off-street parking lots, the encouraged use of private shared
parking agreements, and maximized on-street parking opportunities;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Transportation Advisory Board Acting as the
Parking Commission establishes additional rules for the creation, modification, and dissolution of
Parking Benefit Zones in the Downtown Parking District as written in Appendix A;
Passed and adopted by the Transportation Advisory Board of the City of Bozeman, Montana, at
