MEETING DATE:July 13, 2022 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission RECOMMENDATION:Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul Work Session. STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning, ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density, connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods. BACKGROUND:Resolution 5368 adopts the Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul as a City Commission priority for 2022-2023. The UDC Overhaul will adopt changes to the Unified Development Code that facilitate increased housing density, housing affordability, climate action plan objectives, sustainable building practices, and a transparent, predictable and understandable development review process. Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager, will provide an introduction of the UDC in an effort to orient the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board on items that fall within objectives of the Climate Plan, including sustainable building practices. Significant efforts will be made over the next 12-18 months to complete an overhaul of the UDC. It is anticipated that the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board will provide a formal recommendation to the City Commission at a future date. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board. FISCAL EFFECTS:None. Report compiled on: July 5, 2022 6 Memorandum REPORT TO:Sustainability Board FROM:Jon Henderson, Strategic Services Director SUBJECT:Planned Development Zones Text Amendment Work Session. MEETING DATE:July 13, 2022 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission RECOMMENDATION:Planned Development Zones Text Amendment Work Session. STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning, ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density, connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods. BACKGROUND:On July 12, 2022 the City Commission will consider provisional adoption of Ordinance 2104 repealing and replacing Division 38.430 Planned Unit Development with a new Planned Development Zone (PDZ) process and amend 24 related sections of the Bozeman Municipal Code. The amendment updates the City's land development regulations as part of efforts to support affordable housing, preservation, and sustainability. The use of a Planned Development Zone is voluntary. The applicant can choose whether or not to apply for a PDZ by weighing the flexibility that the PDZ process provides and the requirement to provide certain public benefits in exchange. Whether an individual project may benefit from a PDZ is unique to each project and will vary depending on the type and scale of project and the degree of difference from the regular standards required for the development. The sustainability portion of the PDZ process will focus on the level of combined water consumption, non-renewable energy consumption, and average daily motor vehicle trip generation. The overall intent is to encourage efficiency and innovation in the built environment that reduces the use of non-renewable energy for public benefit through efficient electrification, energy efficiency, onsite renewable energy, and electric vehicle charging stations. Natalie Meyer, Sustainability Program Manager, will provide an update to the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board regarding the development of an implementation manual (see attached draft). City staff will present a brief introduction to the PDZ process, followed by Board discussion related to the 7 following guiding question: "Do the options within the Sustainable/Resilient Design PDZ adequately address our most significant opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance community resilience?" UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Policy decisions surrounding what kinds and amounts of public benefits are acceptable in exchange for the flexibility allowed by a PDZ and the appropriate balance of flexibility and predictability set forth in code. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board. FISCAL EFFECTS:None.

Purpose It is the intent of the City through the use of the Planned Development Zoning (PDZ) to encourage efficiency and innovation in the built environment that reduces the use of non- renewable energy for public benefit through efficient electrification, energy efficiency, onsite renewable energy, and electric vehicle charging stations. II. Authority The City Commission has authority to review Planned Development Zoning (PDZ) preliminary plans and major amendments to PDZs. III. Definitions a. Department of Energy i. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). To fuel an Electric Vehicle (EV), a connection to the grid or power source is required in the form of a charging station. EVSEs com in a variety of configurations but are typically separated by power level. There are three levels of EVSE: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 DC Fast Charging (DCFC). 1. Level 1 is considered slow charging. It typically operates on a 15 to 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt alternating current (AC) circuit and standard outlet. 2. Level 2 is considered medium charging. Typically operates on a 40 amp to 100 amp breaker on a 208 to 240 volt AC circuit. 3. Level 3 is considered fast or rapid charging. It typically operates on a 60 amp or higher dedicated breaker on a 480 volt or higher 3-phase circuit with special grounding equipment. ii. Non-renewable energy. Fossil energy sources, including oil, coal, and natural gas. b. 2021 International Energy Conservation Code i. Cimate Zone. A geographical region based on climatic criteria as specified in this code. ii. Commercial Building. All buildings that are not included in the definition of “Residential building”. iii. Energy Analysis. A method for estimating the annual energy use of the proposed design and standard reference design based on estimates of energy use. iv. Energy Simulation Tool. An approved software program or calculation-based methodology that projects the annual energy use of a building. v. Energy Utilization Intensity (EUI). The site energy for either the baseline building or the proposed building divided by the gross conditioned floor area plus any semiheated floor area of the building. For the baseline building, the EUI can be divided between regulated energy use and unregulated energy use. vi. IECC. “IECC” means the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, published by the International Code Council, Inc. vii. On-Site Renewable Energy System. Renewable energy systems on the building project. viii. Proposed Design. A description of the proposed building used to estimate annual energy use for determining compliance based on total building performance. 9 2 ix. Renewable Energy System.

Standard Reference Design. A version of the proposed design that meets the minimum requirements of the code and is used to determine the maximum annual energy use requirement for compliance based on total building performance. c. Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) i. Energy Rating Index (ERI). A performance path that gives the option of complying with the 2021 IECC by meeting a target ERI score through a wide range of performance options with some mandatory code requirements. The ERI score is a numerical score where 100 is equivalent to the 2006 IECC and 0 is equivalent to a net-zero home. Each integer value on the scale represents a one percent change in the total energy use of the rated design relative to the total energy of the ERI reference design. ii. Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rater. An individual who is certified by an accredited Rating Provider to inspect and test a home in order to evaluate each of the minimum rated features and complete a Home Energy Rating according to the RESNET Standards. iii. Rating Providers. Accredited rating providers who have the responsibility of ensuring the quality of rating services, including certification of raters and selection of accredited rating software programs. IV. Overview a. A PUD application must follow the application process outlined in the Planned Development Zoning (PDZ). In order to qualify for a PDZ with emphasis on Sustainability, Non-Renewable Energy, the development must be reviewed against the development standards established in the UDC and the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code. b. It is recommended that prior to the pre-application review, the applicant meet with the City of Bozeman’s Sustainability Division. c. A 25 percent reduction in non-renewable energy use maybe be achieved through: i. Efficient electrification, or ii. Building energy efficiency, or iii. On-site renewable energy, or iv. A combination of efficient electrification, energy efficiency, on-site renewable energy, and electric vehicle charging stations. V. Criteria and Submittals a. Efficient Electrification Standard i. To enable the full transition to renewable energy in buildings, this requires that the project area and site to be served with electric utilities only. The building plans and construction documents must demonstrate that the buildings will include no fossil fuel combustion. ii. Building plans will identify Energy Star heat pumps as the primary heating and cooling source for the buildings. iii. Building plans will identify Energy Star heat pump water heaters as the primary water heating source for the buildings. 10 3 iv. Demonstration of the prescriptive criteria will be recognized as contributing a 25% reduction in non-renewable energy. 1. Submittals a. PDZ application documents as outlined in the UDC. b. A narrative describing the efficient electrification measures, including heat pump applications in the PDZ. c. Subsequent building plans will include specifications for Energy Star heat pumps consistent with the PDZ application narrative. b. Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Standard i. To encourage high performance commercial buildings, this requires an energy simulation tool to demonstrate that the Energy Utilization Intensity of all proposed commercial buildings exceeds the energy efficiency of the baseline energy code by building type as defined in the 2021 IECC Appendix CC Zero Energy Commercial Buildings and identified in Table 1. Table 1. Energy Utilization Intensity for Commercial Building Types in Climate Zone 6B Building Area Type EUI (kBtu/ft2/yr) Healthcare/hospital 116 Hotel/motel 72 Multiple-family 48 Office 30 Restaurant 538 Retail 52 School 40 Warehouses 23 All others 57 1. Submittals a. PDZ application documents as outlined in the UDC. b. A narrative describing the commercial building elements that will be included to reduce the EUI from the identified baseline. c. Demonstrate that the proposed buildings meets and exceeds the target Site EUI by building type identified in Table 1. d. Submit an energy simulation tool demonstrating the Site EUI for the building by type. i. The energy simulation tool will be from an approved list and performed by an approved third party. ii. The energy analysis will minimally include all assumptions around building occupancy, hours of operation, and temperature settings. iii. Renewable energy system production should be applied under Commercial Onsite Renewable Energy (section V.d.) and should not be used to meet the EUI baseline or target reduction. 11 4 e. Identify the percent reduction from the proposed design EUI according to the following steps: i. Multiply the EUI by the proposed percent reduction of non- renewable energy. ii. Subtract the amount from the standard reference design EUI from Table 1. iii. Repeat the calculation for each commercial building within the PDZ. iv. Example: • A standard reference design EUI of 116 (kBtu/ft2/yr) • 116 x 25% = 29 kBtu/ft2/yr • 116 - 29 = 87 kBtu/ft2/yr • 87 = A Site EUI proposed design representing a 25% reduction in non-renewable energy c. Residential Building Energy Efficiency Standard i. To encourage high performance residential buildings, this requires an Energy Rating Index (ERI) that exceeds the standard reference design. Based on the 2021 IECC Energy Rating Index Compliance Alternative, an Energy Rating Index score below 54 without on-site power production in Climate Zone 6 is the standard reference design. ii. Each point below 54 represents a 1 percent reduction in total energy use. For reference, Appendix RC, Zero Energy Residential Building Provisions in the 2021 IECC identifies an ERI of 46 in Climate Zone 6 as the minimum level of efficiency without onsite power production (OPP) needed to achieve Zero Energy residential construction. 1. Submittals a. PDZ application documents as outlined in the UDC. b. A narrative describing the residential building elements that will be included to reduce the ERI from the standard reference design. c.

Onsite power production should be accounted for under Residential Onsite Renewable Energy (section V.e.). e. Identify the target percent reduction of the proposed design based on the ERI according to the following steps: i. Use 54 as the standard reference design from table R406.5 Maximum Energy Rating Index in the 2021 IECC. ii. Subtract the percent reduction of the proposed design. iii. Repeat the calculation for each residential building within the PDZ. iv. Example: • A standard reference design ERI of 54 • 54 – 10% = 44 ERI • An ERI proposed design of 44 represents a 10% reduction in non-renewable energy 12 5 d. Commercial On-site Renewable Energy Standard i. To increase the use of renewable energy, this requires the use of on-site renewable energy systems for commercial buildings. 1. Submittals a. PDZ application documents as outlined in the UDC. b. A narrative describing the commercial on-site renewable energy system. 2. Submit the projected on-site annual energy production using PV Watts or approved energy simulation tool. Provide the energy consumption of the standard base design base from the EUI in Table 1 for commercial buildings. If energy analysis from an energy simulation tool is available, the EUI of the proposed design may be used (see section V.b.1.d. for energy modeling criteria). Include the percentage of the building’s energy consumption to be provided by an on-site renewable energy system. a. Example: • A 264kW Rooftop Solar PV Array • 56.9 = EUI for the total estimated building energy consumption based on energy analysis • 293 = MWh/yr installed PV estimated production • 998,400 = kBtu/yr installed PV estimated generation converted to kBtu or 10.4 = kBtu/ft2/yr • ((56.9 - 10.4) / 56.9) x 100 = 18.2% • 18.2% = reduction in non-renewable energy from an on-site renewable energy system e. Residential On-site Renewable Energy Standard i. To increase the use of renewable energy, this requires the use of on-site renewable energy systems for residential buildings. 1. Submittals a.
