SUBJECT:Ratify the City Manager's Signature on a Professional Services Agreement
with Cushing Terrell for Swim Center Assessment.
MEETING DATE:July 12, 2022
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Ratify the City Manager's Signature on a Professional Services Agreement
with Cushing Terrell for Swim Center Assessment.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:On November 2, 2021, the citizens of Bozeman approved a bond for the
renovation of three recreation facilities, including the Bozeman Swim
Center. To inform project planning for the renovation work at the Swim
Center a visual structural and seismic assessment was conducted by
Morrison Maierle, which identified damage to parts of the wall and roof
structure.
After receiving the structural assessment report the City took immediate
action to ensure the safety of occupants, as well as begin the public
procurement process for an Architecture and Engineering firm to design
repairs or improvements to the structure to address documented damage
and safety concerns.
Cushing Terrell and a team including Aquatics Design Group and DCI
Engineers was selected based on their response to the published Request
For Qualifications. Cushing Terrell will fully assess the natatorium and
provide a detailed analysis of all facility systems, and outline short, mid, and
long-term solutions for building deficiencies. For the proposed solutions
Cushing Terrell will evaluate the construction impacts of the possible
solutions, time estimates to complete the work, and rough order of
magnitude cost estimation for solutions identified.
City staff met with the design team of Cushing Terrell on June 28, 2022 to
perform inspections throughout the building to include roof & wall systems,
mechanical & electrical systems, in addition to envelope & accessibility
132
concerns. With a focus on life-safety needs, a more thorough investigation
of the roof system was initiated on June 29, 2022. Samples and
measurements have been taken and sent to a proprietary truss analyst to
determine the remaining integrity of each truss. Once the viability of repairs
is determined, short, medium, and long range options will be explored.
This effort is anticipated to take approximately 4-6 weeks, with an additional
4-6 weeks thereafter to develop biddable documents to advertise to local
construction contractors. Understanding the sense of urgency, the team is
exploring a range of creative solutions in an effort to expedite the process.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As directed by City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:This agreement will incur costs of a lump sum amount of $68,650 plus up to
$5,000 for reimbursable expenses plus fees as well as reimbursable expenses
related to the proprietary truss analyst yet to be determined. Expenses to be
paid from SWMCTR project fund.

upgrades. We also collaborated on renewing the connected and adjacent Bozeman High School and helping the Bozeman community
successfully transition into a two high school town with the new Gallatin High.
Strategy Matters. Your success is our success, particularly when it comes to being fiscally responsible both in initial construction
costs and in long-term operational costs. Our full team of professionals is committed to the success of both Bozeman and this facility.
We understand and know how important the appropriate use of resources is with any public project. We live here, play here, and work
here, and we know how to reach out to our community and engage them for their input. Our team’s strategic direction and guidance will
empower stakeholders and build a team-oriented solution.
Cushing Terrell is grateful for this opportunity. We are excited to further the conversation to how we can best help you meet your goals of
empowering and supporting the Bozeman community; let’s pioneer something beautiful together!
Sincerely,
CUSHING TERRELL

Rose Park Pool
BILLINGS, MT
Relevant Experience
Days before the Billings Parks and Recreation Department started registering kids for swimming
lessons and summer camps, an arson fire heavily damaged the Rose Park pool building. The fire
burned plumbing, wires, and roofing, causing damage estimated at $300,000. Together with
Counsilman-Hunsaker, we worked closely with pool and park staff to re-imagine an operations
building for Rose Pool that achieved two goals; provide the best user experience with the resources
given, and reduce operations cost.
The final result is a facility called “Of Billings,” using familiar materials in a timeless way that
transcends trends and gimmicks. The facility opens up the pool deck, increases shade, and provides
amenities that were once not possible (all while addressing operations, staffing, training needs
within the facility, and using resilient materials to reduce maintenance costs).

Cushing Terrell collaborated with Aquatic Design Group to design an indoor pool, fitness, and spa
addition to the Riverside Hotel. As the largest hotel within the Treasure Valley, the Riverside is going
through significant modernizations to provide year-round, all-season use. The addition will offer
an indoor pool area that will give guests an all-season recreation option and provide an enclosed
alternative to the summer outdoor pool area. The existing fitness area and guest laundry will also
be relocated to the new addition making those functions more accessible for guests.
The primary goal of the indoor pool addition placement is to improve the Chinden Boulevard
façade and street presence dramatically. The basic design idea is to create an elegant façade of
masonry planes and large windows of varying height. These planes will be textured and subtly up-
lit with soft dramatic lighting, creating a resort-like effect. Additionally, a decorative screen wall uses
the same design scheme to block views of the existing hotel service delivery and
loading areas.

We Love the City of Bozeman
We’re “all-in” for investing in the
Bozeman Community.
Our proposed team is primarily comprised of our Montana
design experts, with the majority of our team residing in
our local Bozeman office. This project will be driven almost
completely by your rural community and district’s vision, values,
and program and the site itself, with our team of architects and
aquatic specialists acting as guides and interpreters.
Our Partnership with Bozeman School District
Cushing Terrell worked with Bozeman Public Schools to help
their school district plan and pass a $125M bond to build a
second high school and renovate the existing high school.
A school district and community that is successfully transforming
from a one-high school town, into two. Parity and equity,
communication, collaboration, and public input and feedback
has been a key part of this transparent process.
Planning and support was instrumental in developing a strategic
solution and community outreach program that resulted in a
passed bond for Bozeman School District (BSD). As a close
partner of BSD, and through constant and effective engagement
with the community, our team has provided programming,
educational specifications, and a design for a new 1,500
student, 300,000 sq. ft. high school facility and campus, and
significant renewal renovation and addition of the existing
1,500 student Bozeman High School. Both high schools were
designed to achieve Collaboration for High Performing Schools
(CHPS) certification.

attached survey area exhibits including approximately 20 feet beyond curb returns on side street
intersections. Sanitary sewer, storm drain, and water alignments and associated measuredowns will
extend beyond the survey limits where needed.
The points will be surveyed using the Bozeman Low Distortion Projection. The Bozeman Low
Distortion Projection is based on a single parallel Lambert Conformal Conic Projection and the
North American Datum of 1983. A minimum of one project benchmark on the City of Bozeman
Datum on each block within the project area (Area) will be established.

185
block within the survey areas. Additional control points will be set at
strategic locations as needed.
Phase 400. Topographic Survey
Task 401. Use robotic total station to survey ground points on all three areas.
Existing tree diameters will be estimated and labeled as deciduous or
coniferous but will not be identified by species.
Task 402. Survey field location of existing visible utilities as marked by Montana
One Call.
Task 403. Complete measuredowns on existing sanitary sewer manholes, storm
drain manholes and inlets, and water main valve boxes. Photographs
will be taken of each manhole within the project corridor.
Task 404. The completed topographic survey will undergo a quality process
review to check for consistency and completeness.

Task 501. The surveyed data will be used to create an individual topographic
surface and 2D linework and labeling will be completed for all three
areas.
Task 502. Internal quality control review of all deliverables.
Task 503. The photographs taken of each manhole will be cataloged and
georeferenced for easy identification and location.
Task 504. Meet with the City to review the 90 percent plans prior to final
submittal.
Task 505. Incorporate the City’s comments into the plans.

inactive, approximately 30-acre municipal landfill which operated from 1962
to 1970. The City now leases the site to Montana Department of Fish,
Wildlife & Parks as part of the East Gallatin Recreation Area (commonly
known as Glen Lake).
A 1983 CERCLA preliminary assessment by Montana Department of Health
and Environmental Services (MDHES) (now the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ)) summarized the contamination potential from
landfill leachate and indicated a site investigation was warranted. EPA
consultants sampled soils, groundwater from nearby domestic wells, and
sediments and surface water from Glen Lake and the East Gallatin River.
None of the contaminant levels found were considered significant and based
on investigation and health risk assessment results, EPA declared the facility
"No Further Action" under CERCLA. The facility is currently listed as a low
priority facility on DEQ's CECRA priority list.
The area near the old landfill is now seeing increasing development
pressure. In recent years, Gallatin Park Subdivision, Subdivision 154A, and
Bridger Vale Subdivision have been platted and are in the process of
developing. In addition to Glen Lake, the East Gallatin River, a cold water
fishery, flows along the east boundary of the landfill. The recreation area is
heavily used in summers for swimming, boating and other water activities.
In 2018, WET performed a phase one site assessment summarizing all
190
available environmental data and produced a preliminary conceptual site
model. In 2021, WET characterized and monitored contaminants at the site
and reported to and coordinated with the Montana DEQ, as necessary.
During this work, several areas were noted where additional data is
necessary. The purpose of this addendum is to procure the services needed
to continue this work and collect the additional data needed to adequately
characterize and monitor the contaminants at the site.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The total cost for the scope of work detailed in these documents is
$90,378.00. This work will be paid for using funds in the Engineering
Division's budget for Consultants and Professional Services (010-8920-471.5-
10).

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jennifer A. Giuttari, Assistant City Attorney
Greg Sullivan, City Attorney
Jeff Mihelich, City Manager
SUBJECT:Ordinance 2109, Final Adoption Replacing the Term Columbus Day with
Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and Designating the Second Monday of October as
the Local Indigenous Peoples’ Day Holiday
MEETING DATE:July 12, 2022
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
I move to provisionally adopt Ordinance 2109, which replaces the term
Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, and designates the second
Monday of October at the local Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday.
STRATEGIC PLAN:3.3 Friendly Community: Ensure Bozeman continues to welcome diversity
through policies and public awareness.
BACKGROUND:
Bozeman's Strategic Plan 3.0 establishes the city's goal of ensuring that it is
a safe and welcoming community. Specifically, Strategic Plan 3.3 explicitly
states that the city will achieve this goal by welcoming diversity through its
policies and promoting public awareness. Ordinance 2109 accomplishes this
goal by recognizing Indigenous Peoples' Day as a local holiday. Indigenous
Peoples' Day honors the contributions and sacrifices of Native communities
and Tribal Nations. This amendment to the Code furthers the city's goals as
set forth in Strategic Plan 3.3.
Ordinance 2109 replaces the term Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples'
Day, and designates the second Monday of October as the local Indigenous
Peoples' Day holiday. In addition, Ordinance 2109 amends Bozeman
Municipal Code Sec. 2.02.070, which previously referenced the Columbus
Day holiday and exempted it from the general rule that meetings are not
held on the Tuesday after a holiday. As a result of this amendment, there
will not be a Commission meeting on the Tuesday following the Indigenous
Peoples’ Day holiday.
195
On June 28, 2022, after a staff presentation and public comments, the City
Commission moved to provisionally adopt Ordinance 2109.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None identified.
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The fiscal impact beyond what is already budgeted for personnel is
approximately $11,400. This amount reflects the overtime/holiday pay paid
to city employees

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson, Strategic Services Director
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
Logan Simpson for the Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan.
MEETING DATE:July 12, 2022
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
Logan Simpson for the Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN:6.6 Habitat: Work with partner organizations to identify at-risk,
environmentally sensitive parcels contribute to water quality, wildlife
corridors, and wildlife habitat.
BACKGROUND:On April 16, 2018 the City Commission approved Resolution 4852 adopting
the City of Bozeman Strategic Plan. Section 6.6 of the Strategic Plan calls for
working with partner organizations to identify at-risk, environmentally
sensitive parcels that contribute to water quality, wildlife corridors, and
wildlife habitat. On December 21, 2021 the City Commission adopted
Resolution 5368 adopting the Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan
as a City Commission priority for 2022-2023.
Extensive effort was made over the past year to build a working group of
government agencies and non-profit organizations to an ensure a regional
approach. Committed partners include:
Animal Welfare Institute
City of Bozeman
Criaghead Institute
Gallatin County
Gallatin Valley Land Trust
Gallatin Watershed Council
Gallatin Wildlife Association
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
Montana Freshwater Partners
Sacajawea Audubon Society
Sierra Club
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
U.S. Forest Service
Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative
209
The Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan is a comprehensive study
to evaluate habitat and corridors between urban and natural areas
throughout the valley before critical opportunities are lost to development.
Furthermore, the value of existing agricultural lands will be considered as it
relates to the overall economic, cultural, and environmental vitality of the
region. Linkages and important wildlife habitat needed for all phases of
species’ lifecycle will be inventoried and evaluated in an effort to identify
critical corridors, including recommendations to protect sensitive lands in
these areas.
Extensive public engagement will be conducted to inform the scope of
interconnected issues experienced within areas of sensitive lands related to
a number of stressors, including but not limited to, development,
transportation infrastructure, local economy, recreation, human wildlife
conflicts, and climate change.
Final products including GIS layers and specific policy and program
recommendations will serve a number of audiences including public officials,
citizens, developers, and other agencies in a way that informs decisions
about land use and management within the Gallatin Valley. The duration of
this effort will span approximately 16 months, with final acceptance
anticipated in late 2023.
Logan Simpson was selected through a competitive RFP process for
professional services. This agreement has been reviewed by the Legal
Department and found to be acceptable in meeting the City’s specifications
and standards.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As directed by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Funding is allocated within the Strategic Services Department FY23 budget,
in addition to partner contributions.

demands, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities arising out of, resulting from, or occurring in
connection with any labor problems or disputes or any delays or stoppages of work associated with
such problems or disputes.
7. Indemnity/Waiver of Claims/Insurance: For other than professional services
rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless the City, its agents, representatives, employees, and officers (collectively referred to
for purposes of this Section as the City) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, fees
and costs (including attorney’s fees and the costs and fees of expert witness and consultants), losses,
expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently or intrinsically dangerous) or
damages of whatever kind or nature connected therewith and without limit and without regard to the
cause or causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties that may be asserted against,
recovered from or suffered by the City occasioned by, growing or arising out of or resulting from or
in any way related to: (i) the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of the Contractor; or (ii)
any negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any of the Contractor’s agents.
For the professional services rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor
agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless against claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and
expenses, including reasonable defense attorney fees, to the extent caused by the negligence or
intentional misconduct of the Contractor or Contractor’s agents or employees.
Such obligations shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations
of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be
construed to negate, abridge, or reduce any common-law or statutory rights of the City as
indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such indemnitee(s).
Contractor’s indemnity under this Section shall be without regard to and without any right to
contribution from any insurance maintained by City.
Should the City be required to bring an action against the Contractor to assert its right to
defense or indemnification under this Agreement or under the Contractor’s applicable insurance
policies required below, the City shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees
incurred in asserting its right to indemnification or defense but only if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was obligated to
indemnify the City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
JUNE 29, 2022
TASK 1 PUBLIC AND CONSTITUENT ENGAGEMENT
PROJECT MANAGEMENT COORDINATION
Upon contract commencement, Logan Simpson will coordinate with the City Project Management Staff to refine and
finalize the schedule and community engagement plan. At the virtual project management kickoff meeting, we will establish
bi-weekly to monthly coordination calls to be held virtually so everyone can put it on their calendars. We envision in-person
meetings during key milestones when planned during other meetings in Gallatin County. Logan Simpson will provide an
agenda in advance of all meetings, along with a summary following each meeting. The Logan Simpson team, of course,
will be available throughout the project via cell phone, office phone, and email.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Constituent community engagement will inform how the Sensitive Lands Plan prioritizes action to address interconnected
issues such as development, recreation, environmental justice/equity, human wildlife conflicts, and climate change.
We will outline the details of constituent community engagement and outreach in a consolidated Community Engagement
Plan (CEP). The CEP will outline the project description (including what it is and what it is not), key milestones for the
public, messaging, benefits of the planning process, as well as outreach tools and notification methods to be used throughout
the project. Development of the CEP will involve the City’s communication department.
Roles, decision-making authority, and make-up of the various project groups, including the project management and
leadership within the City and Gallatin County, as well as constituents and the public will be listed and defined. Knowing
the ultimate role of key partners early in the process will help the project be successful in the long run. We will right-size
the engagement strategies, meeting facilitation, schedule, and notifications for each group. We will outline the acceptance
process, with possible support and/or acceptance from other agencies/partners.
PROJECT WEBSITE
Logan Simpson will use ESRI’s ArcGIS Hub as the preferred community engagement platform. This project website
platform is capable of providing project updates and will allow the public to review, comment on, and even download (if
desired) the detailed GIS data and analysis required in this RFP. The project website will include a link to register to get
involved, a project timeline, project contacts, and additional resources. Additional details are described in Tasks 3-5. The
Engage Bozeman website may be considered as a complimentary tool for occasional/targeted engagement, to be determined
and supported by City staff.
CONSTITUENT ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS
Our team will announce the initiation of this project and hold group and one-on-one interviews with key constituents. This
will include a discussion with various City and County staff and leadership, including but not limited to Boards and
Commissions, members of the Planning Coordination Committee, government officials, representatives from local
agriculture, indigenous leaders, real estate, developers, conservationists, wildlife biologists, citizens, and the Gallatin Valley
Sensitive Lands Working Group. Key questions will include: Who are we missing? What does success look like? What case
studies, literature sources, and/or best practices would you recommend? What data and narratives should we consider? And
what experts related to these data and narrative should we engage? And to inform the development of initial survey
questions, what are key values and tradeoffs to understand across the Valley?
We have begun early conversations with the Montana Natural Heritage Program and University of Montana’s Spatial
Analysis Lab to understand their data availability. In tandem with Task 2, we will meet with these research agencies to
understand the data history, limitations, and modeling scenarios completed to date. We have found that successful wildlife
Exhibit A
222
habitat models are built over a lifetime of understanding and partners. Working with these groups will ensure the data
reliability needed in this process.
WORKING GROUP & COUNTY COORDINATION
Following the initial round of group and one-on-one interviews, we will convene meetings with the Gallatin Valley Sensitive
Lands Working Group throughout the process. Two in-person and two virtual meetings are envisioned for a total of four
meetings. Meetings will involve worksessions to review materials and provide guiding direction prior to public review.
Meeting 1 – Review data collection and literature review and provide input on project goals
Meeting 2 – Review modeling methods
Meeting 3 – Review modeling results and provide input on preliminary recommendations
Meeting 4 – Provide input on recommendations
Beyond the Working Group meetings, Logan Simpson proposes additional coordination with the County. These meetings
will be specific to land use recommendations that would likely fall to the County to implement. Up to three additional
meetings are anticipated to occur virtually, unless in tandem with other trips to Gallatin County.
STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEY
Sensitive Lands hold a myriad of community values. The more the model aligns with community values, the more readily
the results will be accepted and effect the desired change. At the client group’s discretion, Logan Simpson will work with
Left Brain Concepts early in the process to develop a statistically valid mail survey with the option to respond electronically.
We will work with Bozeman to develop a 4- to 6-page survey that will be mailed to 3,500 residents across the Gallatin
Valley. We begin with an exhaustive list of households in the community - including individual units in multi-family
developments - and mail to a random sample of households. This has been the standard in sampling for decades; to be able
to defend the results with a sample size of 600-700 responses.
Responses would be held in an ASCII data file as numerically coded data. Answers to each question will be double-entered
to ensure accuracy. This is the industry standard in paper-and-pencil survey research and is the most accurate method of
recording information from surveys. We will capture people’s responses to any open-ended questions verbatim, will code
the responses and enter them into the data file. LBC will compile the results, produce percentages for each response, and
perform numerous data splits and statistical analyses using a powerful software package. Results will be spilt by jurisdiction
and length of time residency in the Valley.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SERIES
Each public engagement phase below includes a distinct outcome-oriented outreach series with hands-on and high-tech
outreach methods tailored to the audience and desired outcomes. This process uses trust, credibility, and process to create
consensus. Each series will involve a public meeting in a centrally located area and opportunities to provide input online.
#1: Review of data and visioning
After initial literature review and data collection outlined in Tasks 2 and 3 below, we will reach out the broader public for
review of the data to ensure no further gaps remain and define the planning context. This series will also collect feedback
on the plan’s vision and goals based on the data and statistically valid results. We will collect information on the
community’s values to determine importance as we move into developing the model methods.
This phase could be paired with an online survey if the optional statistically valid survey is not completed.
#2: Review of modeling results and preliminary recommendations
After developing the modeling scenarios in Task 4 below, we will again review the data and mapping with the public and
begin initial development of preliminary recommendations. Meeting #2 will focus on the modeling results and preliminary
recommendations in an open house format. Attendees will help identify the sensitive land priorities.
#3: Draft Plan Review
223
Once recommendations are developed with the Working Group/Constituents in Task 5, the recommendations and plan will
be reviewed with the public.
Task 1 Meetings & Deliverables:
Staff Kickoff Meeting agenda, materials, facilitation, and summary

Public meeting space reservations, food, distribute public meeting notifications, and staffing assistance at meetings.
Communication and coordination with City and regional elected/appointed officials.
TASK 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
DEFINE STUDY AREA & PRELIMINARY OUTLINE
An important decision early in the process will be definition of the “Gallatin Valley” study area. We will start with the map
below, which is generally defined as within the watershed between the Bridger Mountains, start of Gallatin Canyon, Three
Forks, and Bozeman Pass. GIS model results will be more reliable if the data collected uniformly covers the entire study
area. The study area should focus on the remaining unconserved private land in the County – approximately 600,000 acres.
Detailed study of specific species or areas of interest are beyond the scope of this project. We will define what the decision
space of the plan is early to focus future discussions. Also early in the process, we will outline the table of contents of the
final plan deliverables.
224
EXISTING PLAN AND POLICY REVIEW
We will review past plans, studies, and regulations related to the Gallatin Valley. For each plan, we will note data by
resource, key priorities and values, and identify where conflicts may arise.
Plans will include Critical Lands Study of the Bozeman Area (1997), City of Bozeman’s Community Plan (2021) and
Climate Plan (2021), Gallatin County’s Growth Policy (2021) and Triangle Community Plan (2020), the Montana State
Wildlife Action Plan, Montana Subdivision and Platting Act Montana Department of Fish, the Wildlife and Park’s Fish and
Wildlife Recommendations for Subdivision Development, publications by Montana Natural Heritage Program, among
others. We will focus on the interconnectivity and relationships between stressors and geography of their impacts on
sensitive lands and identify data gaps and conflicts in recommendations.
CASE STUDY REVIEW & DOCUMENT PORTAL
Emerging studies and lessons learned from other communities shall be used to guide research and recommendations. With
input from constituents and the Working Group, we will develop and review a list of case studies and existing models. We
will compare case studies for applicability in modeling methods and policy recommendations to protect sensitive lands. A
few case studies may warrant further evaluation, including author interviews, funding, and code review to assist in the
development of preliminary recommendations. We will interview planners/analysts about how their programs worked/did
not work and what they would have done differently. We will post the most relevant case studies and documents on the
project website and highlight key themes in a summary report.
Task 2 Deliverables:
Draft and Final Existing Plan Review Report
Draft and Final Case Study Review Report
Project website update and document portal
225
Task 2City Roles:
Minor assistance in gathering existing plans and policies, if not publicly posted.
Review/approve the above deliverables. Provide consolidated comments.
Post deliverables to Engage Bozeman or similar for public review.
TASK 3 DATA COLLECTION
DEVELOP DATA PORTAL ON ARCGIS HUB
We will create an online application on ESRI’s ArcGIS Hub to share data and a narrative to engage the public. The online
application is intended to be educational and show data transparency with publicly available data from multiple supporting
agencies on interactive maps. Some sensitive data is likely needed for the analysis and will be made available only to
authorized users. The City of Bozeman GIS Division will be responsible for hosting the most current available data, with
assistance from partnering agencies.
COLLECT DATA & ORGANIZE ON ARCGIS HUB
With guidance from constituents, Logan Simpson will compile the best available authoritative GIS data applicable to a wide
range of sciences. The data will be organized into a single geodatabase environment. Metadata beyond origin source, year,
and point of contact will not be added to the original data. Any changes to data description will be directed towards the
source. Some examples of data types may include, but are not limited to:
US Forest Service (Key linkage Areas and other Designated Areas, ROS, SIO, WSR)
Lakes and streams
Rock outcrops (determined via USGS land cover raster data)
Highly visible areas (determined via viewshed analysis from major highways)
Transportation (trails and roads)
Land Cover
Wildlife (T&E habitat, Concentration Areas, raptor nesting, Species of Concern Occurrence, Predicted Biodiversity from
MTNHP, movement corridors)
Wetlands
Riparian areas
Existing protection lands
National Register of Historic Places
Landmarks or areas of particular significance to indigenous communities
Prime Soils/Ag lands
Centennial Farms
Health and social indicators based on environmental justice/equity
Other City/County Layers (parcels, contours, zoning, urban waterways, imagery, etc)
DATA GAP REPORT
We will summarize the review of GIS data in a data report, including recommendations to support future data collection
efforts, and post relevant and publicly available data to ArcGIS Hub. The Working Group will review the Data Gap Report.
Data gaps could include data that are not currently available or available datasets that are not useful for downscaling for
conservation planning efforts due to spatial resolution, temporal, or other factors.
PUBLIC REVIEW OF DATA AND REVISIONS
Issues identified within the first public meeting series will be considered and recorded. Any datasets or issues that have
changed over time may be presented cartographically by using an interactive slider bar for the public to compare data. These
datasets may include:
Urbanization
226
Wildlife movement corridors
Changes in landcover
River movement
Task 3 Meetings & Deliverables:
Agreed upon method to present and share the data (ArcGIS Hub, Story Maps, standard geodatabase)
Meetings to address any GIS data gaps
Staff and partner GIS status meetings (beyond full Working Group Meeting in Task 1)
Draft and Final Data Gap Report
Task 3 City Roles:
Provide existing City GIS data layers
Provide access to Bozeman Enterprise Account (no fee included for additional purchases)
Review/approve the above deliverables. Provide consolidated comments.
Host data and models on the City of Bozeman GIS Division’s ArcGIS Enterprise platform or similar
Assist in identifying landmarks or areas of particular significance to indigenous communities
TASK 4 SPATIAL TOOLS
DEVELOP MODEL METHODOLOGY
Data collected above will be categorized into an agreed upon scheme (wildlife, hydrology, etc.). The Working Group will
confirm the categories of resources to map, approve the best available data for each of the categories, and develop model
criteria. Criteria will reflect community values and focus on highlighting environmental sensitive areas where opportunities
for preservation exist. We will facilitate two Working Group (or a subcommittee) virtual workshops on range of modeling
methodologies to arrive at a preferred methodology. We will document the methods in a report.
DEVELOP MODELS
Working with the City GIS staff and key GIS Partners, Logan Simpson will develop and test a reusable model within Model
Builder. A static series of scenario-based maps will be developed to visualize the effects of land use at both a local and
regional scale is preferred, unless available technology within the project budget allows for a more interactive end-user
experience. We’ll develop three scenarios based on based on values. Some scenarios will reflect changes to weighting,
while other scenarios may include a unique suite of data. We have anticipated three rounds of iterative maps to test and
calibrate the model.
DISPLAY RESULTS ON ARCGIS HUB
We will work to display the static results on the City of Bozeman GIS Division’s ArcGIS Enterprise platform for public
review. Environmentally sensitive linkages and other important habitat needed by wildlife for various life cycle stages will
be highlighted to promote a shared understanding of where opportunities for preservation exist.

TASK 5 RECOMMENDATIONS
227
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS & INDICATORS
Logan Simpson will present several ways to structure the plan’s implementation, and the City will select a preferred format,
such as an implementation table that ties each recommendation to a funding source, regulatory tools or incentives, and a
responsible organization to empower them to take action. Specific recommendations to protect sensitive lands shall be
pursued for both policy and program development, including regional partnerships, and key performance indicators, along
with an estimated implementation priority and schedule. Recommendations must include a wide variety of solutions that
will support contrasting interests throughout the study area. Based on the community feedback collected to date; data
modeling results; and consistent with adopted plans (such as Montana Subdivision and Platting Act, the Montana State
Wildlife Action Plan, and the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Park’s Fish and Wildlife Recommendations for
Subdivision Development), laws, and decision-making authority, Logan Simpson will identify preliminary
recommendations that provide a wide variety of solutions that will support contrasting interests related to:
Legislative Initiatives. Efforts required to implement any final recommendations shall be identified in support of the
upcoming legislative session.
Policy and Programs: Policy and program recommendations must be delivered with reference to the agency or jurisdiction
who oversees final decision making authority.
Funding Sources. Each priority resource (scenic, wildlife, recreation, or historic) opens the door to different funding
sources. We will identify a funding source for each recommendation, emphasizing dollars available for conserving
properties or capital improvements.
Regulatory Tools. The Comprehensive Plan/Growth Policy, code language, and zoning, along with subdivision tools such
as conservation developments, are instrumental to direction growth away from sensitive areas. We will recommend by
agency how existing and new programs and policies can align with plan priorities. If there are conflicts between currently
adopted plans, these will be documented and prioritized for revision.
Incentives (TDR). Logan Simpson’s code team is currently helping two western communities, Spanish Fork, Utah and
Teton County, Idaho, develop Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) incentive programs with the goal of preserving
irreplaceable agricultural and natural resources such as waterbodies, wetlands, wildlife habitat, scenery, floodplains, slopes,
wildland-urban interface, and recreational access. Our team will work with City and County staff and attorneys to
recommend how the right program could be implemented in the future.
Regional Partnerships. We will outline partnership opportunities including concepts for future community campaigns with
the Working Group as well as other partners to determine who should most effectively and efficiently lead each initiative
to advance long-term goals.
Key Performance Indicators. To answer the question, “How will we measure success?” we recommend at a minimum a
table with indicators, timelines, and adaptive management thresholds be included in the plan so that future leaders can
communicate results and know whether we are moving toward or away from the desired future condition. We would like to
explore how to tie the indicators to the project website with a GIS indicators dashboard, as we recently did for Colorado
Springs.
REVISED RECOMMENDATIONS & INDICATORS
We will post the recommendation on Konveio, another online service that we often use for collaborative document review.
This tool has been extremely beneficial to our projects, especially to gather feedback on the draft plan, solicit input on
design concepts, or offer a self-paced virtual “open house” where participants can comment on the presented materials. We
will consider revisions to the recommendations based on public input.
SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN (PHYSICAL COPY)
Based on all the work completed to date and feedback on the Draft Online Sensitive Lands Protection Plan, we will create
a full report that is graphically appealing physical Sensitive Lands Protection Plan. The Plan will highlight the plan process
228
and goals, background, details of the analysis, integrated maps, and recommendations. The Draft Protection Plan will be
reviewed and then revised to present to the public.
SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN (ONLINE)
Based on the analysis, input, and work completed up to this point, our team will prepare a streamlined, and graphically
appealing Online Sensitive Lands Protection Plan that will serve as the Executive Summary, linking data and maps from
the ArcGIS Hub in Story Map format. The Logan Simpson team will develop an end product that is easily navigated and
understandable to the public with minimal technical language or jargon. Content, layout, and format for the plan will be
mocked up for discussion and through a workshop. It will integrate text, interactive maps, photos, and other multimedia
content online.
APPENDICES
Technical details consolidated throughout the process will be placed under a separate covers for future reference attached
to the ArcGIS Hub.
ACCEPTANCE
Following public review of the Draft Online Sensitive Lands Protection Plan, Logan Simpson will prepare final Story Map
and physical copy of the Protection Plan for acceptance by the City of Bozeman. At this stage, Logan Simpson anticipates
only minor revisions after each meeting based on public comments. After the approval, Logan Simpson will compile and
submit all associated graphic links and files. Logan Simpson does not anticipate providing printed copies.
ADDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE MEETINGS
While this is a City of Bozeman project, we believe for this plan to be fully supported and implemented it should be
accepted/approved by all jurisdictions with decision making authority over the recommendations. Logan Simpson will
support the City in presenting to up to 6 additional Boards and/or Commissions across other agencies in person.
Meetings:
Up to 6 City acceptance meetings, agendas, materials, facilitation, and notes over no more than 3 trips (in-person)
Deliverables:
Preliminary and Final Recommendations that accomplish specific goals with measurable outcomes
Preliminary Draft Protection Plan for Public Review for staff and Working Group Review
Preliminary Draft Online StoryMap Protection Plan for staff and Working Group Review

LOGANSIMPSON1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
April 1, 2022
Jon Henderson, Strategic Services Director and Mike Maas, City ClerkCity of BozemanMT PO Box 1230 Bozeman, Montana 59771-1230 agenda@bozeman.net
Regarding: Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan
Dear Mr. Henderson, Mr. Maas, and Members of the Selection Committee,
Over the past decade, we have fallen in love with the Gallatin Valley while preparing Bozeman’s Community Plan and Climate Plan, the
Big Sky Community Vision and Strategic Plan, and Growth Policy Updates for Gallatin County and the communities of Three Forks and
Manhattan. Going back even further to when Gallatin Valley Land Trust founder Chris Boyd was convening conservationists for the
first time, our team members were laying the groundwork for what would become the Larimer County Open Lands Program (1993), the
Help Preserve Open Space sales tax (1995), and similar local government programs and land trusts throughout Colorado and the Rocky
Mountains. Now, in Logan Simpson’s 32nd year, we have a demonstrated track record of transparently marrying community values with
the best available science to identify where the highest scenic, wildlife, recreation, and historic priorities remain, and how these priorities
interface with other responsible growth priorities such as affordable housing and tourism. We are passionate about and specialize in
strategic open space master planning, community planning, and design of recreation facilities in sensitive natural resource areas.
“Ahkoto Waktai Sakum,” which translates to “Many Come Together,” represents our vision for public engagement, as well as how GIS modeling of the river systems, critical habitats, and conservation opportunities will come together. Logan Simpson routinely works with the most enviable Mountain West communities, and understands the strategic choices necessary to protect lands, balance property rights; maintain agricultural lands and industry manage tourist population and access, maintain affordable housing, and fund community services long-term. Our consensus-making skills include visioning, strategic planning, resource mapping and modeling, and interagency facilitation. We are devoted to creating a science-based, politically-supportable plan that meets the long-term conservation-development vision of the Sensitive Lands Working Group.
This team has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of the communities throughout the Gallatin Valley; it will be led by Jeremy Call,
principal and an environmental planner, with specialized focus on conservation, scenic resources, recreation, and public process. Award-
winning project manager Kristina Kachur will guide the public lands and open space planning and day to day coordination between the
City, the Valley’s Sensitive Lands Working Group, and the consultant team. We are supported by in-house specialists in GIS analysis, open
space modeling, recreation management, land use planning, and code. Logan Simpson, founded in 1990, is home to more than 130 staff
members across our six offices in Tempe, Tucson, and Flagstaff, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; Reno, Nevada; and Fort Collins, Colorado
(from where this work will be completed). Our team also brings geospatial designer Breece Robertson, who combines technology and
storytelling to inspire, activate, educate, and engage people as the Director of Partnerships at the Center for Geospatial Solutions at the
Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
We have included four optional tasks not anticipated in the RFP:
• Jeff Haugen with Left Brain Concepts can develop a statistically-valid survey to quantify sensitive land values across each
community, so that the subsequent GIS model reflects what people care about.
• A literature review highlighting the economic benefits of sensitive lands conservation to reinforce the importance of the study.
• Momentum and commitment will build as each community or organization in turn adopts (or approves or accepts) the plan. We are
available to help staff in each community hold public hearings to adopt the plan recommendations.
• Memorable photography and video is an excellent way to illustrate the awe-inspiring landscape, tell the story, and motivate change. Motion Digital can develop a short video that brings the Valley’s cultural and natural heritage to life.
Logan Simpson acknowledges response to our questions dated March 23, 2022, as well as receipt of additional response to questions
on March 30th.
This type of planning is exactly what we love to do, and we are excited and eager to continue serving the Bozeman community.

2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It would be our privilege and our passion to assist in creating the
Gallatin Valley Sensitive Lands Protection Plan together.
Gallatin Valley is an inspiring landscape, rich in human and natural
history, home to abundant wildlife, and supporting world-class
outdoor recreation opportunities. Outside Bozeman and the Valley’s smaller cities and towns, much of this land remains agricultural or
undeveloped and provides essential habitat and movement corridors
for grizzly bears, mountain lions, eagles, elk, mule deer, and moose .
Forested streams hold cutthroat and Arctic grayling.
The Gallatin Valley is also facing unprecedented growth in population,
skyrocketing housing prices, and tourism. Recreation demand is
seemingly infinite, limited only by the supply of publicly accessible areas and our tolerance of crowding. The population is growing faster than the state and has increased 71% in the past 20 years, and the
Valley could be expected to include more than 200,000 residents by
2040. This growth has mobilized support for traditional agricultural
practices, preservation of wildlife corridors, mitigating conflicts between traffic and wildlife, and protection of scenic views. Now on the heels of the Gallatin County Growth Policy, which saw high levels
of public concern and comment for wildlife and wildlife habitat issues;
and Bozeman’s Community and Climate plans is the opportune time to assess and proactively protect the values that old
timers and newcomers cherish .
This Sensitive Lands Protection Plan seeks to find greater balance in the Gallatin Valley. The Plan will highlight sensitive land
priorities through a robust GIS model, make intangible values and natural assets more tangible, recommend how to protect
the most sensitive resources, while helping identify the benefits and best practices of developing in harmony with the natural environment. Our hope is that the final model will influence the County’s Future Land Use Plan. Most importantly, the guide
must facilitate dialogue between the city, county, agencies, stakeholders, and developers to result in a win-win solution.
Past successes of community-supported long-range plans in Gallatin Valley.
The Logan Simpson team understands what is takes to gain community support for, and ultimately adopt forward-thinking
plans in Gallatin County and have worked with many of the agencies and stakeholders that are integral to this planning effort. Megan Moore and Bruce Meighen, land use and facilitation advisors to this planning effort, were instrumental to the development and adoption of the Bozeman Community Plan and Climate Action Plan; and Gallatin County’s Growth Policy.
Three Forks, and Manhattan’s growth policies are currently nearing adoption.
Our community-driven planning philosophy is that growth and change should only occur in a way that fits a community’s
needs and values. We also believe that a community’s vision and goals must be grounded in reality (aka, this project) so that
planning documents are meaningful, forward-thinking, and actionable.
Count on us to champion and:
• Consider the Sensitive Lands Working Group interests comprehensively. • Respect private property rights.
• Enhance, not detract from, partnerships.
• Celebrate the Valley’s intrinsic natural and agricultural characteristics – what makes it “home”.
• Gather (and present) ideas in a noncontroversial way.
Of the 1,685,617 acres of
land in Gallatin County, 53%
is in private ownership. Of the
886,074 acres of private land
in the County, nearly 130,000
acres are placed under
conservation easement – of
which 36,000 acres have been
conserved through Gallatin
County’s Open Lands Program.
Accomplishing conservation
at that scale is phenomenal.

CITY OF BOZEMAN | GALLATIN VALLEY SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN 3
Planning for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Understanding our role in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem can help ensure the long-term sustainability of the City and County. Our plans
within the larger region include the Jackson-Teton County 2012 and
2021 Comprehensive Plans and the Teton View Regional Plan for a four-
county, seven-city region that straddles two states adjacent to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. The plans are reversing Teton County’s trend toward outlying unincorporated development and redirecting nearly
all development within towns to preserve adjacent lands. Logan Simpson
also completed the Jackson-Teton County Workforce Housing Action
Plan and is beginning work on the Housing Strategic Plan, which ensures people who work in Jackson can live there. We have also worked on smaller, outlying towns such as Driggs and Victor, Idaho, who are focusing
on housing variety, affordability, character, downtown, and habitat and
agricultural preservation.
In-house multi-disciplinary team
Our Logan Simpson team is highly integrated to include land use planners, code specialists, wildlife and wetland biologists, GIS modelers, and landscape architects. A collaborative planning process begins with gaining consensus on a science- and
community-based vision. As we have demonstrated with the above plans, consensus is most often achieved by a thorough
and deliberate stakeholder engagement program that identifies the key issues, ideas, and challenges at the outset, and
engages people in meaningful, and productive dialogue guided by a team of experts.
Logan Simpson has a team of experienced biologists who have completed biological reviews; biological assessments and
evaluations; wildlife/species surveys and habitat evaluations; rangeland health assessments; and invasive, native, and
sensitive species plant surveys. Our biologists also have extensive experience in the regulatory requirements of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and other wildlife and environmental laws and regulations. Other regional planning efforts include integrating development with wildlife corridors into the foothills of the East and West
Benches of the Salt Lake Valley.
The Blackfeet Nation calls
this area “Ahkoto Waktai
Sakum,” which translates
to “Many Come Together”
country. Ahkoto Waktai
Sakum is our vision for
public engagement and
resource mapping.

Experience with County and Federal land management planning
We frequently work with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, US Forest Service, and other federal agencies on resource
management and recreation area management plans and NEPA. We
also have worked for state and local agencies throughout the West to
develop open space and trails plans; develop land management plans that included the goal of influencing federal land management actions; county-wide shared conservation visions; and community plans adjacent
to federal lands.
Conservation GIS and open space priority models
We bring decades of conservation GIS experience and will share the impact of other local models in delivering a vision for success. Our goal is to create
maps that:
• Tell compelling stories to stakeholders and the public• Analyze access to nature equity
• Show the economic benefits of conservation
• Map, model, and analyze land characteristics to enhance biodiversity, connectivity, and climate resilience
• Leverage maps and data to gain insights for fundraising, program initiatives, policy, advocacy, finances, and marketing
Like the real-life examples in Breece Robertson’s must-read “Protecting the Places We Love,” Logan Simpson’s open space
GIS prioritization models have garnered awards large and small, but more importantly have conserved places we love. Logan Simpson will work with the stakeholders to craft criteria based on community values, collect the best available GIS data, and analyze eligible land parcels and natural resources to create a GIS supported output of the most significant sensitive lands.
47% of Gallatin County is
publicly owned and managed by
federal and state agencies, such as
the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM), US Forest Service (USFS),
National Park Service (NPS),
Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks
(FWP), Montana Department
of Transportation (MDOT),
and Department of Natural
Resources and Conservation
(DNRC); and local governments.
and 0.20 percent sales taxes that are
estimated to yield up to $500 million over a
30 year period.
LAND CONSERVATION STRATEGIES
The master plan defines a three-fold strategy,
shown on the previous page: 1) cooperative
agreements with Federal and County
agencies for lands north of State Route 74; 2)
coordination and cooperative
planning of State Land parcels
that contain natural, scenic,
and/or significant cultural sites;
and 3) discussions with willing
private land owners to obtain
conservation easements,
dedications, or acquisitions for
identified significant parcels or
portions thereof.
All of this will be accomplished
in partnership with other
departments, agencies,
interest groups, and active
citizen involvement.
POTENTIAL PROJECTS
A variety of potential
conservation projects has
been identified, Several
examples are listed below:
▪Continuing efforts to pro-
tect and enhance the Agua
Fria corridor
▪New River Dam Regional
Open Space
▪Agricultural land protection
▪Black Mountain Open Space
▪Calderwood Butte Open
Space
▪Prince Mountain Open Space
THIS PLAN RECOMMENDS A THREE
PRONGED STRATEGY FOR THE THREE
DISTINCT TYPES OF LAND OWNERSHIP,
AND SECONDLY, PROPOSES A SPECIFIC
REVENUE TOOL IN ORDER TO SATISFY
PUBLIC DEMANDS FOR OPEN SPACE AND
PASSIVE RECREATION.

PROJECT APPROACH
The Logan Simpson Team is committed to providing the City staff with excellent customer service. Our team’s success
can be attributed to the successful project management, leadership, and organizational skills we maintain for each project. Our success is based on utilizing tools that make it easy to obtain information and participate in the process, reaching participants who may not typically engage. We will identify, up-front, your goals and objectives for the project’s public
and stakeholder outreach and participation. The following section details Logan Simpson’s methodology and approach to
accomplishing the proposed scope of services, including a summary of specific meetings, deliverables, and City roles at the
end of each major task.
TASK 1 PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
ProjECT managEmEnT CoordInaTIon
Upon contract commencement, Logan Simpson will coordinate with the City Project Management Staff to refine and finalize
the schedule and public engagement plan. At the virtual project management kickoff meeting, we will establish bi-weekly
or monthly coordination calls to be held virtually so everyone can put it on their calendars. We envision in-person meetings
during key milestones when planned during other meetings in Gallatin County. The Logan Simpson team, of course, will be available throughout the project via cell phone, office phone, and email.
PUblIC EngagEmEnT Plan
Logan Simpson’s approach in all of our work is to achieve excellence through collaboration. This requires a deliberate and
sustained effort to fully understand the community’s needs, provide solution-oriented communication, and having the ability to sustain a nonpartisan, inspirational attitude throughout the project. We understand the need to gain definitive input from stakeholders and the public throughout the process and use techniques geared to reaching specific meeting objectives.
Roles, decision-making authority, and make-up of the various project groups, including the project management and leadership within the City and Gallatin County, as well as stakeholders and the public will be listed and defined. Knowing
the ultimate role of key partners early in the process will help the project be successful in the long run. We will right-size the
engagement strategies, meeting facilitation, schedule, and notifications for each group.
ProjECT wEbSITE
Logan Simpson is very familiar and could use with Bozeman’s public engagement website, Engage Bozeman. Given the
nature of this project, we envision creating a one stop shop via ESRI’s ArcGIS Hub. This project website platform is equally
capable of providing project updates and will allow the public to review, comment on, and even download (if desired) the
detailed GIS data and analysis required in this RFP. The project website will include a link to register to get involved, a project
timeline, project contacts, and additional resources. Additional details are described in Tasks 3-5.
STakEholdEr InTErVIEwS
Our team will announce the initiation of this project and hold group and one-on-one stakeholder interviews with key
stakeholders. This will include a discussion with various City and County staff and leadership, including Boards and
Commissions, as well as members of the Planning Coordination Committee and the Gallatin Sensitive Lands Working Group. Key questions will include: Who are we missing? What does success look like? What case studies, literature sources, and/
or best practices would you recommend? What data should we consider? And to inform the development of initial survey
questions, what are key values and tradeoffs to understand across the Valley?
We have begun early conversations with the Montana Natural Heritage Program and University of Montana’s Spatial Analysis
Lab to understand their data availability. In tandem with Task 2, we will meet with these research agencies to understand the
data history, limitations, and modeling scenarios completed to date. We have found that successful wildlife habitat models
are built over a lifetime of understanding and partners. Working with these groups will ensure the data reliability needed in this process.
237

workIng groUP & CoUnTy CoordInaTIon
Following the initial round of stakeholder interviews, we will convene meetings with the Gallatin Sensitive Lands Working Group throughout the process. Two in-person and two virtual meetings are envisioned for a total of four meetings. Meetings
will involve worksessions to review materials and provide guiding direction prior to public review.
• Meeting 1 – Review data collection and literature review and provide input on project goals
• Meeting 2 – Review modeling methods
• Meeting 3 – Review modeling results and provide input on preliminary recommendations
• Meeting 4 – Provide input on recommendations
Throughout our work on previous planning
efforts in Gallatin County, we have worked
with the majority of the Gallatin Sensitive
Lands Working Group which includes:
• Animal Welfare Institute
• City of Bozeman
• Craighead Institute
• Gallatin County
• Gallatin Valley Land Trust
• Gallatin Watershed Council
• Gallatin Wildlife Association
• Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
• Montana Freshwater Partners
• Sacajawea Audubon Society
• Sierra Club
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
• U.S. Forest Service
• Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation
Initiative
238
CITY OF BOZEMAN | GALLATIN VALLEY SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN 7
Beyond the Working Group meetings, Logan Simpson proposes additional coordination with the County. These meetings
will be specific to land use recommendations that would likely fall to the County to implement. Up to three additional meet-ings are anticipated to occur virtually, unless in tandem with other trips to Gallatin County.
STaTISTICally ValId SUrVEy (oPTIonal)
Sensitive Lands hold a myriad of community values. The more the model aligns with community values, the more readily
the results will be accepted and effect the desired change. At the client group’s discretion, Logan Simpson will work with
Left Brain Concepts early in the process to develop a statistically valid mail survey with the option to respond electronically.
We will work with Bozeman to develop a 4- to 6-page survey that will be mailed to 3,500 residents across the Gallatin Valley.
We begin with an exhaustive list of households in the community - including individual units in multi-family developments - and mail to a random sample of households. This has been the standard in sampling for decades; to be able to defend the
results with a sample size of 600-
700 responses.
Responses would be held in an
ASCII data file as numerically
coded data. Answers to each
question will be double-entered to ensure accuracy. This is the industry standard in paper-and-
pencil survey research and is the
most accurate method of recording
information from surveys. We will capture people’s responses to any open-ended questions verbatim,
will code the responses and enter
them into the data file. LBC will
compile the results, produce percentages for each response, and perform numerous data splits
and statistical analyses using
a powerful software package.
Results will be spilt by jurisdiction and length of time residency in the Valley.
If a statistically valid survey is not desired, $5,000 for setup
and analysis will be utilized to
complete an online survey in Public
Engagement Series #1.
9OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS STRATEGIC PLAN DRAFT
PRIORITIES FOR PROTECTION
I believe that open spaces and trails are a good investment for our community.Even if I don’t use trails and open spaces myself, I think it’s important that they exist.
Children need access to open spaces as they grow.
I am more likely to bike or walk to a destination if there are trails that lead there.

Each public engagement phase below includes a distinct outcome-oriented outreach series with hands-on and high-tech outreach methods tailored to the audience and desired outcomes. This process uses trust, credibility, and process to create
consensus. Each series will involve a public meeting in a centrally located area and opportunities to provide input online.
#1: Review of data and visioning
After initial literature review and data collection outlined in Tasks 2 and 3 below, we will reach out the broader public for review of the data to ensure no further gaps remain and define the planning context. This series will also collect feedback on the plan’s vision and goals based on the data and statistically valid results. We will collect information on the community’s
values to determine importance as we move into developing the model methods.
This phase could be paired with an online survey if the optional statistically valid survey is not completed.
#2: Review of modeling results and preliminary recommendations
After developing the modeling scenarios in Task 4 below, we will again review the data and mapping with the public and
begin initial development of preliminary recommendations. Logan Simpson will work the Working Group and City to host
a public, keynote speaker event similar to a TEDx talk, modeled after the successful TEDxBozeman. Initial conversations with TEDxBozeman indicate that they will be restructuring after this week’s event, and are not able to commit now to a 2023
partnership. If we are not able to partner with TEDxBozeman, our event will be smaller yet still educational and thought
provoking by encouraging people to think past their daily lives and discuss how changing demographics and climate will
affect the future. Attendees will help identify the sensitive land priorities based on these presentations for the Gallatin Valley.
The event will include live streaming on social media sites where interested parties that are not able to attend in person can listen-in as well as provide comments and as questions. Speakers could include experts from the Working Group, Montana
Natural Heritage Program, University of Montana’s Spatial Analysis Lab, GIS storyteller Breece Robertson, conservation
specialists, and land use advisors. After the public event, the “TED Talks” will be posted online and a survey will be provided
to allow for additional input. The City would provide a meeting venue and expenses could be used for speaker honorariums
and refreshments.
Many of our planning efforts include detailed map review, which is key to understanding the community priorities.

TASK 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
dEfInE STUdy arEa
An important decision early in the process will be definition of the “Gallatin Valley” study area. Is it limited to a portion of
Gallatin County, (the greater Bozeman area), the entire county, or does it include the Gallatin Valley Land Trust’s broader
headwaters region of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers including Gallatin, Park, Madison, and Meagher counties in Southwest Montana? GIS model results will be more reliable if the data collected uniformly covers the entire study area. For costing purposes, we assume it is no more than 750,000 acres – essentially the remaining unconserved private land in the
County.
EXISTIng Plan and PolICy rEVIEw
We will review past plans, studies, and regulations related to the Gallatin Valley. For each plan, we will note data by resource, key priorities and values, and identify where conflicts may arise.
Plans will include Critical Lands Study of the Bozeman Area (1997), City of Bozeman’s Community Plan (2021) and Climate Plan (2021), Gallatin County’s Growth Policy (2021) and Triangle Community Plan (2020), the Montana State Wildlife
Action Plan, Montana Subdivision and Platting Act Montana Department of Fish, the Wildlife and Park’s Fish and Wildlife
Recommendations for Subdivision Development, publications by Montana Natural Heritage Program, among others.
CaSE STUdy rEVIEw & doCUmEnT PorTal
With input from the stakeholders and Working Group, we will develop and review a list of case studies and existing models.
We will compare case studies for applicability in modeling methods and policy recommendations to protect sensitive
lands. We will provide a summary of the connectivity between stressors and impacts and, if needed, identify data gaps and
conflicts in recommendations. A few case studies may warrant further evaluation, including author interviews, funding, and code review to assist in the development of preliminary recommendations. We will interview planners/analysts about how their programs worked/did not work and what they would have done differently. We will post the most relevant case studies
and documents on the project website and highlight key themes in a summary report.

An extensive body of research has been developed that documents the economic benefits of natural areas and the outdoor recreational benefits they provide. Some of these benefits are more standard, e.g., a direct increase in property values
on parcels adjacent to protected areas, while others are more broadly distributed such as ecosystem service benefits or
economic costs from reduced cost of government services, recreation and tourism, agriculture industry, and government
cost savings. We will summarize prior research in a memo format.

State Board lands that are no protected in perpetuity were not included. 2012 COMaP
Potential Conservation Areas 1.1 No
This model prioritizes the 2010 Statewide Potential Conservation Areas (PCA) developed by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP). The PCA's represent CNHP's best estimate of the primary area required to support the long-term survival of targeted species or natural communities. PCA refers to the ability of a conservation area to maintain healthy, viable, targets over the long term (100+ years), including the ability of the targets to respond to natural or human caused environmental change. The PCAs do not necessarily preclude human activities, but their ability to function naturally may be greatly influenced by them. PCAs at all scales may require ecological management or restoration to maintain their functionality and long term persistence. The PCAs that were rated as High, Very High, and Outstanding Biodiversity Significance were incorporated into the model.

TASK 5 RECOMMENDATIONS
PrElImInary rECommEndaTIonS & IndICaTorS
Logan Simpson will present several ways to structure the plan’s implementation, and the City will select a preferred format,
such as an implementation table that ties each recommendation to a funding source, regulatory tools or incentives, and a
responsible organization. Based on the public and stakeholder feedback collected to date; data modeling results; and within the bounds of adopted plans, laws, and decision-making authority, Logan Simpson will identify preliminary recommendations related to:
Funding Sources. Each priority resource (scenic, wildlife, recreation, or historic) opens the door to different funding sources. We will identify a funding source for each recommendation, emphasizing dollars available for conserving properties or
capital improvements.
Regulatory Tools. The Comprehensive Plan/Growth Policy and zoning, along with subdivision tools such as conservation developments, are instrumental to direction growth away from sensitive areas. We will recommend by agency how existing
and new programs and policies can align with plan priorities. If there are conflicts between currently adopted plans, these
will be documented and prioritized for revision.
Incentives (TDR ). Logan Simpson’s code team is currently helping two western communities, Spanish Fork, Utah and Teton
County, Idaho, develop Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) incentive programs with the goal of preserving irreplaceable
agricultural and natural resources such as waterbodies, wetlands, wildlife habitat, scenery, floodplains, slopes, wildland-urban interface, and recreational access. Our team will work with City and County staff and attorneys to recommend how the right program.
Partnerships. We will outline recommendations with the Working Group as well as other partners to determine who should most effectively and efficiently lead each initiatives to advance long-term goals.
Indicators. To answer the question, “How will we measure success?” we recommend at a minimum a table with indicators, timelines, and adaptive management thresholds be included in the plan so that future leaders will know whether we are moving toward or away from the desired future condition. We would like to explore how to tie the indicators to the project
website with a GIS indicators dashboard, as we recently did for Colorado Springs. (See graphic below).

THE ESTES VALLEY REGION
For this Plan, the greater Estes Valley encompasses all the public and private land in the Estes Valley School District and Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. This includes the town of Estes Park and portions of unincorporated Larimer and Boulder counties, including, but not limited to, Drake, Glen Haven, Pinewood Springs, and Allenspark. However, since much of the Estes Valley is already conserved within Rocky Mountain National Park and Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest, as seen on the map to the right, the maps throughout the Plan focus on primarily unconserved areas.
The greater Estes Valley encompasses a wide diversity of ecosystems, including montane, subalpine, and riparian, and undeveloped foothills within the North Fork Big Thompson, Big Thompson, and Tahosa Valley. It hosts abundant populations of large mammals and birds such as elk, deer and raptors, and uncommon and elusive wildlife such as the tiger salamander, greenback cutthroat trout and painted lady (a butterfly). The Valley also supports a vibrant outdoor recreation economy and charming mountain communities. The landscape and sky offer many natural wonders – birds returning from migration and wildflowers blooming in spring, the tracks of a mountain lion, the brilliance of the Milky Way, and the experience of serenity in a wild place. For generations visitors have come to the Valley for a variety of activities across all seasons, especially as a summer respite, and to be close to this unique natural landscape.

In Closing
What will the future of open space and outdoor recreation in the Estes Valley look like? Can we continue to grow the Valley’s economy while at the same time conserving our beautiful scenery, providing housing for all, and preserving our quality of life?
By working together, in the next 10 years we could:
• conserve another 5,000 acres
• build 20 miles of sustainable trails on public lands; and
• create new tools and partnerships that preserve:
• Healthier wildlife, habitat, and ecosystems
• Beautiful views of our iconic landscape
• Sustainable outdoor recreation for all
• Historic resources that tell our story
• Sustainable growth that strengthens our economy
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following strategic actions are needed to stimulate land conservation in the Estes Valley and help protect the quality of life we all share:
1. Adopt the plan at local levels. Endorsement of the Estes Valley Open Space Plan by local governments, special districts, and partnering organizations will build partnerships and create support for the Plan.
2. Integrate this plan’s principles into regional and state open space and outdoor recreation plans. Open space and outdoor recreation planning occurs at the county, regional and state level by Boulder and Larimer County, the USFS, Great Outdoors Colorado, and others. Integrating the Estes Valley Open Space Plan into these regional and state efforts will help provide funding to implement this plan.
3. Identify parcel-level conservation and outdoor recreation priorities with the Town of Estes Park and Larimer and Boulder counties. Specific areas of the Estes Valley will be identified for potential private land conservation (no public access), public open space (limited public access), and parks.
4. Provide funding to enable additional land conservation. The Estes Valley Land Trust will fundraise and work with Larimer and Boulder counties, the Town of Estes Park, Great Outdoors Colorado and others to reduce conservation easement transaction costs and purchase development rights or land.

ESTES VALLEY OPEN SPACE PLAN | A SHARED LAND CONSERVATION
STRATEGY | COLORADO
Logan Simpson worked with the Estes Valley Land Trust, the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, US Forest Service, and
Colorado Parks & Wildlife, as well as Housing Partners, to establish the first ever valley-wide strategy for conserving open
space and outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations. The Plan provides a shared land conservation strategy
for priority wildlife conservation areas, scenic views, and historic resources, and strategies for expanding outdoor recreation, where appropriate.
The gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park has over 28,000 acres of non-conserved, unincorporated, private lands that
could be developed. Most open space plans stop at identifying where natural and cultural values should be conserved. This plan uniquely recognizes that the highest and best use of some vacant land is to accommodate the affordable housing
and economic needs of the constrained mountain town. Utilizing the best available science and community input, land
use models prioritize lands with the highest scenic, wildlife habitat, historic, outdoor recreation, and housing values. The
planning process involved a broad spectrum of residents and visitors who are passionate about nature and love to recreate
in the outdoors, and who also are invested in the Valley’s economic vitality. The plan sought to break down barriers and move past the conservation vs. development dichotomy to conversations about secure a successful future for all.
Increases in land use, visitation, population, and climate variability throughout Colorado and the Estes Valley have added significant pressures on the picturesque Rocky Mountain landscape. Much of that growth (100,000 people per year since 2015) has been in the Denver Metro and Northern Colorado area; places with easy access to Estes Valley. According to the
Census, Estes Valley’s population has grown at a rate of nearly 7.8 % between 2010 and 2017 – roughly 1,000 new homes.
In addition to development pressure, the Valley’s popularity and Rocky Mountain National Park alone has seen an increase in
visitation from 2.9 million visitors in 2010 to 4.6 million visitors in 2019. Climate change is disrupting habitats by extending the fire season, reducing the snow cover, causing vegetation to change elevations, which in turn affects habitat quality and migration corridors. Distinguishing areas prime for conservation can help direct other areas where future development
should be located. This Plan identifies both conservation and development opportunities to responsibly address those
pressures and tools to protect natural and cultural resources.

LowHighGOAL
Protect large habitat blocks, migration corridors, riparian corridors, and rare plant and animal habitat to sustain a healthy ecosystem.
Protecting Biodiversity
Biodiversity in the broadest sense refers to the variety of living organisms, their habitats and the biological processes they depend on. Ecosystems that are biodiverse are generally healthier and more resilient after major disturbances, such as a fire. To maintain its rich biodiversity, Colorado’s forests and other plant communities require adaptive management, such as controlling invasive exotic plants, improving forest health and reintroducing threatened or endangered species or biological processes, such as periodic flooding.
• Large habitat blocks - intact landscapes that provide a diversity of high-quality habitats
• Wildlife corridors - migratory and movement corridors between habitat blocks
Protecting large habitat blocks and wildlife corridors reduces habitat loss and fragmentation and protects biodiversity.
PRIORITIES
Conserve large habitat blocks near Allenspark, the North Fork of the Big Thompson, and private inholdings surrounded by conserved land.
Increase wildlife corridor connectivity along Highway 34/Big Thompson and the North Fork, near Rocky Mountain National Park and Allenspark, and adjacent to public lands.
Protect stream corridors and wetlands that feed into the Big Thompson, Little Thompson, and Fall rivers, St. Vrain creeks, and their tributaries.
Work with private landowners and land managers to monitor forest health, improve wildlife habitat, and reduce the spread of invasive weeds.

Protect community gateways along US 36, US 34, and Highway 7.
Protect key scenic assets, such as Prospect Mountain, Mount Olympus, Mount
Pisgah, and Oldman Mountain.
Protect the riparian forests of Fall River, the Big Thompson River, and the North Fork.
Support conservation of scenic quality through governmental development processes, such as ridgeline protections, setbacks from public roads, and design guidelines that help new developments blend in with the natural environment.
Implement dark-sky guidelines to avoid unnecessary impacts to the quality of night skies and dark-dependent biological resources.

CITY OF BOZEMAN | GALLATIN VALLEY SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN 19
PEORIA SONORAN PRESERVATION PROGRAM PLAN | ARIZONA
In 2006, the City of Peoria retained Jeremy Call to prepare their Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Plan. Owing to its
successful completion, the City re-engaged the same team in 2011 to create an open space decision support tool to assist in the decision making process of open space land acquisition. The Peoria Open Space Decision Support System (OSDSS), a GIS data model, identifies sensitive lands that merit special consideration for
conservation to achieve the vision and goals to be considered for preservation
or protection. The model identifies and prioritizes areas that merit special
consideration to achieve the vision and goals of open space preservation.
In the past, traditional models overlaid resources to identify localized areas
of interest, creating isolated pockets of land to be preserved. The OSDSS model goes further by considering the geographic, social, and environmental relationships between multiple resources. Peoria uses this methodology to
ensure they acquire the appropriate amount of land for the multiple open
space categories. The model includes 26 GIS data sets, from the most recent
land use plans to lands with development constraints.
In 2013, the City retained Logan Simpson to assist in editing and preparing a
final draft of the Preservation Plan. Our staff facilitated and refined program
goals, focus areas, and acquisition and management strategies. The plan was unanimously adopted by Council in June 2015.
FILTERS
Final prioritization of potential projects can be accomplished by applying the following filters:
▪Resource Protection, which prioritizes key cultural and historic sites based on their
sensitivity.
▪Low/ Minimum Public Cost, which prioritizes lands based on lowest cost to the community
(dedication, public lands, protected by code).
▪Best Value, areas with high resource value for lowest cost.
▪Complete Open Space Program, which combines all three filters.
PEORIA OSDSS
A Decision Support System was developed to identify sensitive lands that merit special consideration for
conservation. The model used over 20 datasets to identify and prioritize areas that merit special consideration for
protection, and can be updated as prioritization and criteria change over time to meet the changing needs of the City.
132 4 5 76 8 9 100
Inputs to the model include GIS datasets such as wildlife corridors, wetlands, cultural
sites, washes, and other variables. These inputs are weighted from 1-10 based on the
community’s values and their level of importance for protection. The City has the ability
to continually alter weights and criteria to reflect current visions and needs.
VALUES
OSDSS MODELING PROCESS
CRITERIA
Prioritization begins with determining which criteria will be input to the model:
▪Cultural Resources: Are there important cultural resources in the area?
▪Scenic Quality: Does the area have important scenic qualities?
▪Access: Is the area reasonably
accessible?
▪Distance: Is the area close to other
protected areas or parks?
▪Wildlife Habitat: Does the area have
important habitat values or other
biological resources?
▪Ownership: Does existing land
ownership complicate purchase or
management, or does it facilitate
conservation agreements?
SCENIC QUALITYWILDLIFE HABITAT
DISTANCEACCESS OWNERSHIP
CULTURAL RESOURCES
A HOLISTIC MODEL Traditional models (inset) overlay resources to identify localized areas of interest, often resulting in isolated pockets of conserved lands. The Peoria model goes one step further, defining contiguous focus areas based on how resources relate to one another. As seen in the diagram above, this method provides a more connected method of open space utilization. The system focuses on protecting multiple resources, their local and regional connectivity, and a mosaic of habitats and experiences.
Focus areas are those areas that were identified through the model as having the highest level of importance for protection. Each area is generally defined on the Focus Areas map (next page) to allow flexibility in the development of subsequent implementation strategies or negotiations. Each of the three open space types are represented; the Agua Fria corridor is a combination of both Natural/Sensitive and Heritage/Culture resource considerations.

Level of Prioritization
Existing protected areas include dedicated open space and other non-saleable lands, such as city and regional parks. This plan identifies three additional key open space types to meet the prioritization goals represented in the Vision: Natural/Sensitive, Cultural/Heritage, and Passive/Managed. Each open space type emphasizes certain resource types, but may protect other resources as well.
The maps on the following page illustrate the values and weights applied to the open space type. For example, to identify priority natural/sensitive areas, resources such as critical wildlife habitat, areas with protected species received the highest weighting.

SUMMIT COUNTY OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS MASTER PLAN | COLORADO
Logan Simpson is working to prepare the first update of the Summit County Open Space and Trails Master Plan since 1996
based on a conservation GIS model. The previous Master Plan primarily focused on land acquisition for a newly conceived program. After decades of successful open space protection and trail construction, the County now faces new challenges with natural resource management, visitor use, and growth pressures. The new master plan will guide the acquisition, trail
development, maintenance, and resource management into the next 10 years to proactively address challenges and adapt
to change. Summit County is a unique environment, serving as a picturesque gateway—and getaway—to a year-round
adventure land that is simultaneously coping with the resident, tourist, and climate change pressures.
Summit County owns and manages over 17,000 acres of open space. These properties provide a variety of recreational
opportunities including over 100 trailheads and trail portals, 100 miles of natural surface trails, 50 miles of dirt roads, and 35 miles of paved Recreational Pathways (i.e., the RecPath), some of which are co-managed with the Town of Breckenridge, Town of Frisco, and US Forest Service. These open spaces also protect important wildlife and plant communities, provide
buffers between communities, and preserve unique and fragile ecosystems. The planning process integrates a vast reach
of partners, land managers, resource interests, and recreation stakeholders to address acquisition, stewardship, and visitor
use priorities. The process is effectively managing the future of the County’s resources and clearly identifying the County’s role. The final plan will contain an analysis of existing conditions, desired conditions and appropriate activities and facilities, indicators and thresholds for desired conditions, management strategies to achieve the desired conditions, and strategies
to monitor the effectiveness of strategies for adaptive management.

OUR LANDS, OUR FUTURE; OPEN SPACE PLAN, AND RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT PLANNING | LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO
Logan Simpson has long been assisting Larimer County with studies, plans, and designs for recreational amenities,
stewardship, and conservation of public lands. In 2013, we completed the “Our Lands, Our Future” – Recreation and
Conservation Choices for Northern Colorado study, which utilized multiple innovative public outreach methods to shape the
vision and planning for the region’s conservation and recreation programs. Logan Simpson’s open space prioritization model with support from the Trust for Public Land, uniquely incorporated the cost of acquiring, developing, and maintaining new landholdings to educate the public about the fiscal implications of their desired quality of life.
As both the growth in outdoor recreation demand and Larimer County’s populations continues, the County retained Logan Simpson to prepare a county-wide Open Space Plan based on the model’s results. When the Bureau of Reclamation and
Larimer County set out to address growing demands between management for visitor recreation use and management of
natural resources, and capital improvement and maintenance needs at Horsetooth, Carter Lake, Pinewood, and Flatiron
reservoirs, Logan Simpson prepared the 2016 Reservoir Parks Master Plan, Resource Management Plan, and Environmental Assessment.

ARKANSAS HEADWATERS RECREATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN REVISION
& BROWNS CANYON NATIONAL MONUMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
| SALIDA, COLORADO
Logan Simpson worked with an interagency planning team comprised of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, and the US Forest Service to prepare an update to the Management Plan for the Arkansas River Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA) and, subsequently, the first-ever Browns Canyon National Monument (BCNM) Resource Management
Plan. The Arkansas River is the epicenter of activity in BCNM and renowned for camping, wildlife watching, and numerous
other river-related recreation activities including its Gold Medal Trout Fishery and nation’s most popular river for whitewater
boating. The Arkansas River receives the highest level of commercial boating of any river in the nation and the BCNM has grown in popularity as a newly created national monument. Therefore, key issues for both projects revolved around outdoor recreation and its impacts to the natural, scenic, and cultural resources of the landscapes. The AHRA Management Plan
provides a framework for managing numerous and often conflicting recreation activities along the 150-mile river corridor.
Logan Simpson led the effort to formulate alternatives and a proposed management plan that addressed a wide array of
issues and management topics including carrying capacity, the need for new or improved facilities, and improved access and resource conservation. The RMP focuses on protection of Browns Canyon National Monument resources, objects, and values (ROVs) while providing for public use and enjoyment of the monument. Environmental reviews for both projects
reviewed the best available scientific data to produce effective management strategies that protect the ROVs.
For both projects, Logan Simpson led multiple rounds of public outreach in four different cities across the Front Range and
project vicinity to help guide the planning process.

CITY OF BOZEMAN | GALLATIN VALLEY SENSITIVE LANDS PROTECTION PLAN 23
BUCKEYE WILDLIFE CORRIDORS BEST PRACTICES GUIDE | ARIZONA
Logan Simpson developed the first of its kind Wildlife Corridors Best Practices Guide to offers planners, residents, developers,
non-profits, and City leadership a set of best management practices and tools for development that considers harmony with wildlife corridors and the natural environment within the City of Buckeye’s growth area. Nestled against the White Tank Mountains and Buckeye Hills along the Hassayampa and Gila rivers much of land surrounding the City remains undeveloped
and provides essential habitat for mule deer, bighorn sheep, desert tortoise, and other wildlife. However, Buckeye is evolving
rapidly, and the population increase warrants thoughtful planning. With the goal of maintaining and enhancing existing
biodiversity and connectivity while ensuring community prosperity, a case study-based approach was taken to organize this Guide around three strands - environmental, growth, and quality of life.
Creating wildlife-friendly development will result in a variety of benefits to animals, residents, visitors, and the businesses and developers that stimulate economic growth. Best practices were evaluated against the three strands/triple bottom line analysis as well local applicability and ease of implementation. The triple bottom line analysis evaluated quality of life,
environmental, and economic growth factors - using both qualitative and quantitative metrics.
The purpose of the Guide is to advocate for wildlife connectivity throughout the city and to encourage collaboration between all groups involved in developing Buckeye. As part of the process, a variety of groups and individuals with local information
and expertise helped inform the planning process, including landowners/developers, utilities, local and state agencies, and
conservation advocacy groups. The project team sought to inform community-wide stakeholders of the plan and its goals for
the community to gain a common understanding, as well as feedback on how best to approach implementation of the Guide. A suite of tools is recommended at the regional, neighborhood, and design level that could be implemented by developers, residents, and partners. Incentives of regional development considered may be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the City.

269
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 2 of 20
Project Summary
The amendments will repeal the existing planned unit development process and replace it
with planned development zones.
See the attached draft Ordinance 2104 for the proposed text. Use of a Planned Development
Zone (PDZ) 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. This work is
partial implementation of a review of municipal standards for housing construction. The City
Commission gave direction at their March 1, 2022 meeting to start this amendment process.
See Appendix A for additional information.
The proposed ordinance amends 25 sections in the municipal code. Elements of the proposed
amendments include:
1. Repeal Division 38.430, Planned Unit Development in its entirety. A planned unit development is a review process than allows an applicant to propose different land
development standards in exchange for public benefits. The scope and type of public benefits is included in the code. Planned unit developments are currently allowed in all zoning districts.
2. Remove references to Planned Unit Developments throughout Chapter 38, Unified Development Code, amending 24 individual sections of the municipal code. Each section
is included in the new ordinance that applies these amendments.
3. Create a new Division 38.430, Planned Development Zones (PDZ). A PDZ creates a new custom zoning district and associated land development standards that apply only to that one site. A PDZ is reviewed as a text and zone map amendment according to standard review procedures in Division 38.260 of the municipal code. A finalized PDZ will be
shown on the zoning map.
Additional review processes are also required in Division 38.430 to analyze whether the proposed PDZ provides the required provision of public benefits, including alternatives for affordable housing, protection of historic structures, sustainable design, and large development. Benefits may be of just one type or a combination of the options.
Establishing specific performance requirements in the code for a PDZ addresses legal requirements to make findings for amendments and for individual projects consistent with the growth policy and enabling legislation and to avoid challenges to the code on the grounds that it is too vague.
A PDZ may propose different combinations of uses as well as numeric standards. A PDZ
must also include a general development plan presenting the general layout and nature of development within the area. PDZs are integrated into multiple sections throughout the code in place of planned unit developments.
270
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 3 of 20
4. Create a new Division 38.440, Legacy Planned Unit Developments, establishing
standards for how existing developments that were approved under the old planned unit
development standards can be amended or removed from a planned unit development. No existing PUD is changed or repealed by this amendment.
5. Repeal and replace Section 38.220.120 specifying submittal requirements for Planned Development Zones and associated documents.
6. Revise Section 38.400.020, Street and road dedication, to change how privately
maintained streets are reviewed, approved, and maintained. Additional administrative flexibility is provided for approval and additional data is required to show how the street will work and be maintained.
7. Revise Section 38.200.010, Review authority, to reflect changes creating Planned
Development Zones and Legacy Planned Unit Developments, assign duties to revised
administrative departments.
8. Amend definitions in Division 38.700 to conform to the proposed amendments.
Administrative manuals to implement the directives of this ordinance are not included as part of the ordinance directly, but are being prepared for the sustainability and historic
preservation public benefits because there are too many details pertinent to implementation
of these standards to include in the municipal code. Administrative manuals allow documentation of how the code is applied and are much easier to keep up to date. Draft outlines of the various implementation manuals are attached. If the Commission approves the proposed public benefit approach, the manuals will be finalized.
Strategic Plan Implementation
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.
4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices - Vigorously encourage, through a wide
variety of actions, the development of sustainable and lasting housing options for
underserved individuals and families and improve mobility options that accommodate all
travel modes.
7.3 Best Practices, Creativity & Foresight- Utilize best practices, innovative
approaches, and constantly anticipate new directions and changes relevant to the
governance of the City. Be also adaptable and flexible with an outward focus on the
customer and an external understanding of the issues as others may see them.
Economic Vitality Board
The Economic Vitality Board (EVB) has the duties of the former Community Affordable
Housing Advisory Board. The EVB reviewed draft Ordinance 2104 on June 1, 2022. They
continued their discussion to their following meeting, on July 6, 2022. This date is passed the
271
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 4 of 20
submittal deadline for the City Commission packet. Staff will provide an update on any
recommendation from EVB at Commission’s meeting on July 12th.
Community Development Board
The Community Development Board (CDB) met on June 27, 2022 to consider the proposed
amendments. The video recording of the meeting is available through the City’s website.
Discussion of the amendment begins at 23 minutes into the recording. Questions to staff
begin at about 46:20 and board discussion at 2:17:50. The Board voted 0-7 on a motion to
recommend approval of the ordinance as submitted. A motion was made to recommend
approval of an amended ordinance, which passed 7-0. The full text of the motion approved
by the CDB is attached to this report. One member of the public asked a question during the
public comment and one member of the public spoke to the draft ordinance. Both are
included in the video recording. Due to technical difficulties the recorded audio volume is
low and the listener will need to turn up the volume on their playback device.
Concerns of the CDB focused on 3 areas:
1. Uncertainty that the new proposal would assure superior outcomes to the existing
regulations; and how to effectively test real world acceptance and practical use of the new
regulations.
2. The options available in Section 38.430.050 (pp. 32-35 of the proposed ordinance) to
establish public benefits were not broad enough. More narrowly identified public benefits
in the proposed ordinance were not consistent with the full range of community priorities
identified in the growth policy
3. The specific target requirements set forth in the ordinance, such as the percentage of
homes at certain price points for affordable housing, were too restrictive and did not
provide enough negotiating room for the City.
The CDB adopted motion recommends the Commission remove defined public benefits and
replace it with a set of community priorities annually adopted by Commission resolution. See
the attachment for full recommendation language.
Alternatives
1. Do not adopt the ordinance based on findings of non-compliance with the applicable
criteria contained within the staff report;
2. Direct amendments to the text prior to adoption which may or may not include those
recommended by the Community Development Board. If the Commission chooses this
option Staff will require time to develop the text needed to implement Commission
direction; or
3. Continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to staff to supply
additional information or to address specific items.

SECTION 1 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Having considered the criteria established for a text amendment, the Staff finds the amendments
meet the criteria for approval as proposed.
The Community Development Board in their capacity as the Zoning Commission will hold a
public hearing on these amendments on June 27, 2022, at 6 pm.
273
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 6 of 20
The City Commission will hold a public hearing on the text amendment on July 12, 2022 at 6:00
p.m.
SECTION 2 - TEXT AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission must consider the following criteria (letters A-K). As an amendment is a legislative
action, the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The burden of proof
that the application should be approved lies with the applicant.
A zone text amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy (criteria A) and be
designed to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B), promote public health, public
safety, and general welfare (criteria C), and facilitate the provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a
zone text amendment the Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E-K, and may find the zone text
amendment to be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the
zone text amendment, the Commission must find the positive outcomes of the amendment
outweigh negative outcomes for criteria E-K. As this amendment can also affect subdivision
related standards the criteria for subdivisions are also reviewed as Criteria 1-17.
In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff considers the entire body of plans and
regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigated negative impacts are
incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38, Unified
Development Code.
The existing development review processes and standards were previously found to satisfy all of
the following criteria during earlier reviews. The focus of this report is only on the amendments
proposed. Where a finding of Neutral is presented it represents that the criteria is not applicable
to the proposed amendments or the change does not materially advance or detract from
compliance. Therefore, a finding of Neutral is not necessarily an indication of a deficiency in the
proposed amendments or the existing standards.
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Criterion is met. A growth policy provides a high level vision of how a community hopes to
develop over time. As a key tool to implement the growth policy, zoning must be in
accordance with the growth policy per 76-2-304(1)(a), MCA. The new Planned Development
Zones are amendments to the zoning map and text and therefore must conform to the growth
policy. Bozeman adopted a new growth policy in November 2020.
274
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 7 of 20
The new PDZ review process narrows the focus of public benefits. Rather than 11 potential
ways to show benefits, the new process includes 4. See section 38.430.050 in the text
(Ordinance Section 20). This places greater emphasis on subjects deemed of most importance
to the community including affordable housing, historic preservation, sustainability, and
combinations of benefits. A review of the growth policy shows multiple goals and objectives
relating to housing, historic preservation, provision of infrastructure, and sustainability. A
PDZ may be proposed for any type of use or mix of uses so long as those uses are consistent
with the future land use descriptions in Chapter 3 of the BCP2020.
The proposed amendments implement the growth policy. Not every element of the growth
policy must be addressed for an amendment to be in accordance with the growth policy. The
PDZ process requires provision of a public benefit in exchange for the flexibility in
standards. Individual public benefits support different goals in the BCP2020. Examples of
relevant goals and objectives are:
R-1.4 Be integrated: bring together a range of distinct systems and institutions.
R-2.6 Innovation: Advance new approaches and techniques that will encourage continual
improvement and advancement of best practices.
The existing PUD system has been in place for over 30 years. Although it has been updated
periodically it does not represent current best practices and is not adequately focused on the
community’s highest priorities. The PDZ revision advances best practice by increasing focus
on key community priorities, including placement on the zoning map to improve public
awareness of the special standards applicable to that site, and using the legislative rule
making amendment process to address the discretionary review inherent in a PDZ rather than
the more quasi-judicial current process. The PDZ process allows an applicant to propose
alternative standards from those included in existing zoning districts. This enables them to
pursue projects that may not otherwise meet standards such as building heights, parking, or
other non-procedural standards. Procedures and standards required by state or federal law
may not be altered.
There is a discussion on housing affordability beginning on BCP2020 page 21. The
discussion identifies national and local trends and issues affecting affordability and housing
needs. The PDZ process may be used throughout the community, encourages proximity of
homes and services including multi-modal transportation, and is more likely to provide
missing middle housing if price restricted housing is the community benefit offered. Potential
for additional density is also available. Providing a tool encouraging construction of housing
focused at the lower cost range supports several goals including:
R-2.4 Social Equity: Provide solutions that are inclusive with consideration to
populations that are often most fragile and vulnerable to sudden impacts.
N-1.1. Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing.
275
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 8 of 20
N-3.3 Encourage distribution of affordable housing units throughout the City with
priority given to locations near commercial, recreational, and transit assets.
EE-1.4 Support employee retention and attraction efforts by encouraging continued
development of affordable housing in close proximity to large employers.
Historic Preservation is one of the community benefit options. This is expected to be used
within existing developed portions of the community. This option requires existing buildings
and sites to be protected and enhanced.
Goal N-4: Continue to encourage Bozeman’s sense of place.
N-4.1 Continue to recognize and honor the unique history, neighborhoods, neighborhood
character, and buildings that contribute to Bozeman’s sense of place through programs
and policy led by both City and community efforts.
DCD-1.2. Remove regulatory barriers to infill.
DCD-1.5. Identify underutilized sites, vacant, and undeveloped sites for possible
development or redevelopment, including evaluating possible development incentives.
Sustainability is also an identified public benefit and when used requires reductions in two of
three areas of energy and water conservation and transportation use reductions. Reducing
consumption advances:
DCD-1.9 Promote mixed-use developments with access to parks, open space, and transit
options.
EPO-3.3 Support water conservation, use of native plants in landscaping, and
development of water reuse systems.
EPO-3.5 Update land development standards to implement the Integrated Water
Resources Plan.
EPO-3.9 Integrate climate change considerations into development standards.
EPO-3.11 Support resource conservation through recycling, composting, and other
appropriate means.
M-1.1 Prioritize mixed-use land use patterns. Encourage and enable the development of
housing, jobs, and services in close proximity to one another.
M-1.4 Develop safe, connected, and complementary transportation networks for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal mobility devices (e-bikes, electric
scooters, powered wheelchairs, etc.).
No element of the proposed ordinance affects the future land use map at this time. Therefore,
no analysis of correspondence to the future land use map is provided. The text of the PDZ
amendment requires proposed uses to be consistent with the descriptions and uses for
individual future land use designations. Review of future PDZ applications will affect the
276
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 9 of 20
zoning map and will be analyzed individually at that time based on the specifics of the
individual application.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Criterion is met. Building code standards for fire resistance, exiting, and other protection
remain in place and will continue to protect the public. The requirements to avoid floodplains
and similar physical hazards remain in place. Therefore, access by emergency services,
suitable water and sewer services, and other safety features remain.
C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare.
Criterion is met. The existing standards addressing this criterion remain in place. See also
responses to Criteria B and D. A PDZ may request a change from existing standards that
address these and other criteria. However, any such alternative standard proposed must
likewise be evaluated against these criteria. If the alternative does not meet the standard it
should not be approved. At this time there is no evidence of lack of compliance by a future
application.
D. Facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other
public requirements.
Criterion is met. The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, water,
sewer, parks, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The adopted plans allow
the City to consider existing conditions and identify enhancements needed to provide
additional service needed by new development. The City implements these plans through its
capital improvements program (CIP). The CIP identifies individual projects, project
construction scheduling, and financing of construction.
Considering the code as a whole, the standards requiring provision of the infrastructure listed
in this criterion are not being changed with these amendments.
E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
Criterion met. Adequate light and air are provided by a mix of site development standards
including park dedication, on-site open space, and setbacks; as well as building code
requirements for air for combustion and ventilation. Each standard addresses a different
functional element. There is no specified quantity of day light or other physical outcome
required by this criteria. The standard is for reasonableness and adequacy which vary by type
of use and other specifics of development. Building codes also address this criteria through
requirements for ventilation and lighting.
A PDZ may request a change from existing standards that address these and other criteria.
However, any alternative standard proposed must likewise be evaluated against these zoning
amendment criteria. If the alternative standard does not meet this or other criteria it should
not be approved. Open area, setbacks, and related elements affect this criterion and the
277
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 10 of 20
character of the district. At this time there is no evidence of lack of compliance by a future
application.
F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Criterion is met. The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, trails,
and parks related to this criterion and services provided by the City. The adopted plans allow
the City to consider existing conditions and identify enhancements needed to provide
additional service needed by new development. The proposed amendments do not alter these
plans or associated standards.
One of the public benefit options under sustainability is to reduce transportation demand.
Typical techniques to do this include mixing uses so services and homes are nearby and don’t
require motor travel, excellence in pedestrian networks, and similar options. If this option is
used the transportation system should be improved. As there is no known impact at this time
the criterion is met.
G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Criterion is met. The City has defined compatible development as:
“The use of land and the construction and use of structures which is in harmony with
adjoining development, existing neighborhoods, and the goals and objectives of the city's
adopted growth policy. Elements of compatible development include, but are not limited to,
variety of architectural design; rhythm of architectural elements; scale; intensity; materials;
building siting; lot and building size; hours of operation; and integration with existing
community systems including water and sewer services, natural elements in the area,
motorized and non-motorized transportation, and open spaces and parks. Compatible
development does not require uniformity or monotony of architectural or site design, density
or use.”
The City has adopted many standards to identify and avoid or mitigate demonstrable negative
impacts of development. A PDZ may request a change from existing standards that address
this criterion. However, any such alternative standard proposed must likewise be evaluated
against these zoning amendment criteria. This set of amendments does not itself alter any
standard or allowed use. If a proposed package of development standards does not promote
compatible growth it cannot meet this criterion. The text of the PDZ limits flexibility in uses
to that allowed by the land use designation in the BCP2020 which will help keep uses
consistent. At this time there is no evidence of lack of compliance by a future application.
Therefore, staff concludes the criterion is met.
H. Character of the district.
Neutral. Section 76-2-302, MCA says “…legislative body may divide the municipality into
districts of the number, shape, and area as are considered best suited to carry out the
278
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 11 of 20
purposes [promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community] of this
part.” Emphasis added.
This proposal amends the text and not the zoning map directly. The PDZ process will result in
new districts which will be included on the zoning map. Internally, each PDZ proposal will be
consistent in character as it is proposed as a single package of standards. When considering
how a proposed PDZ fits with adjacent development, that will be considered based on the
specific location, uses, and standards included in the proposal. It is premature to consider
specific proposals.
I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Neutral. The proposed amendments are not changing the zoning map or the uses allowed
within zoning districts. Therefore, no detailed analysis regarding this criterion can be
performed.
J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Neutral. The proposed amendments are not changing the zoning map or the uses allowed within
zoning districts. No standard is being created which will reduce allowed building areas or
otherwise restrict the development capacity of a specific property. When considering how a
proposed PDZ fits with adjacent development, that will be considered based on the specific
location, uses, and standards included in the proposal. The landowner is required to consent to
creation of a PDZ, any impacts on existing buildings within a proposed PDZ will be with
consent of the owners. It is premature to consider specific proposals.
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Criterion is met. The zoning map and future land use map of the growth policy identify areas
where specific uses are generally appropriate. However, both occur at a coarse level of detail
and do not authorize construction. The PDZ amendment requires that uses proposed in a
development be consistent with the descriptions of the land use designations shown on the
future land use map. This is an outcome supported by the growth policy, see Criterion A.
Therefore, the criterion is met.
Spot Zoning Criteria
Amendments to the zoning map may, in certain factual circumstances, constitute
impermissible “spot zoning.” The proposed amendments do not alter the zoning map in any
way at this time. Any future PDZ will amend the zoning map. Therefore, any PDZ review
will include analysis against spot zoning criteria when the specifics of location, type, and
standards of development are known.
279
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 12 of 20
Section 76-1-606, MCA (Effect of Growth Policy on Subdivision Regulations)
1. Subdivision regulations adopted after a growth policy has been adopted must be
made in accordance with the growth policy.
Criterion met. A growth policy provides a high level vision of how a community hopes to
develop over time. As a key tool to implement the growth policy, zoning must be in
accordance with the growth policy per 76-2-304(1)(a), MCA. The new Planned Development
Zones are amendments to the zoning map and text and therefore must conform to the growth
policy. Bozeman adopted a new growth policy in November 2020.
The new PDZ review process narrows the focus of public benefits. Rather than 11 potential
ways to show benefits, the new process includes 4. See section 38.430.050 in the text
(Ordinance Section 20). This places greater emphasis on subjects deemed of most importance
to the community including affordable housing, historic preservation, sustainability, and
combinations of benefits. A review of the growth policy shows multiple goals and objectives
relating to housing, historic preservation, provision of infrastructure, and sustainability.
The proposed amendments implement the growth policy. The PDZ process requires
provision of a public benefit in exchange for the flexibility in standards. Individual public
benefits support different goals in the BCP2020. Examples of relevant goals and objectives
are:
R-1.4 Be integrated: bring together a range of distinct systems and institutions.
R-2.6 Innovation: Advance new approaches and techniques that will encourage continual
improvement and advancement of best practices.
The existing PUD system has been in place for over 30 years. Although it has been updated
periodically it does not represent current best practices. The PDZ revision advances best
practice by increasing focus on key community priorities, including placement on the zoning
map to improve public awareness of the special standards applicable to that site, and using
the legislative rule making amendment process to address the discretionary review inherent
in a PDZ rather than the more quasi-judicial current process.
See analysis under the zoning criteria for more discussion of this item.
Section 76-3-102, MCA (Subdivision Purposes)
2. Promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by regulating the subdivision
of land.
Criterion is met. The City is required to implement state mandates for the review of
subdivisions. Review requires evaluation of impacts from development as well as surveying
and documentation. The proposed amendments do not alter the subdivision review process
itself. The PDZ amendments clearly state that the PDZ may not alter requirements not
280
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 13 of 20
established by the City such as legal and physical access and requiring compliance with
terms of environmental permitting. Therefore, the criterion is met.
3. Prevent the overcrowding of land.
Neutral. Overcrowding is the condition arising from more intensity of use than the property
and infrastructure is capable of supporting. The proposed amendments do not address the
underlying analysis of whether a proposed land use is the appropriate intensity of use. The
City’s standards regarding appropriate intensity of use are established through the City’s
zoning districts. Approval of a PDZ results in creation of a new zoning district. The
necessary infrastructure to support development must still be provided in a timely manner
and in sufficient quantity to address needs of the development. Any alternative standard
proposed with a PDZ must be able to show compliance with the growth policy, facility plans,
and zoning review criteria.
4. Lessen congestion in the streets and highways.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not change the existing standards which address this
criterion. Adequate information to demonstrate compliance with adopted standards must still
be presented as part of application submittals. The City’s transportation master plan and
capital improvements program address needed expansions and improvements. Local
improvements will continue to be required for individual subdivisions as currently is
required.
5. Provide adequate light, air, water supply, sewage disposal, parks and recreation
areas, ingress and egress, and other public improvements.
Yes. The existing regulations set forth processes and standards by which a development
ensures required water supply, sanitary sewer, streets, stormwater, parks, etc. are provided.
Compliance with those requirements is required as part of the submittal requirements for
subdivision application. Construction follows approval of a preliminary plat and generally is
completed before the final plat is approved.
Approval of a PDZ results in creation of a new zoning district and alternate development
standards. An applicant could propose a different method of meeting requirements such as
stormwater control but must still be able to meet the functional needs of the development.
The necessary infrastructure to support development must still be provided in a timely
manner. Any alternative standard proposed with a PDZ must be able to show compliance
with the growth policy, facility plans, and zoning review criteria.
The regulations have no impact on providing adequate light and air. See also Zoning Criteria
D and E. The criterion is met.
6. Require development in harmony with the natural environment.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not specifically address this issue. The existing
standards for protection of water courses, wetlands, etc. are not modified. Revisions are made
281
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 14 of 20
to data submittal requirements. As more information becomes readily available on demand
the specific information for an individual application can become more focused on essential
material unique to that site. The proposed amendments do reduce required information to be
submitted with individual subdivision applications. In fact, state changes demand full
disclosure up front by the developer to show how much water is needed for their plan and
where water consumption comes from; i.e. exempt well, City water supply, or a combination
thereof. Due to the increased general availability of information, the reduction in
application-specific submittal material will not negatively affect this criterion.
Part of the PDZ public benefit options includes addressing sustainability. To use this the
applicant must demonstrate reductions is use of two of three options of water, energy, or
transportation. The reductions should support harmony with the natural environment. Use of
this option is an alternative that may or may not be used by a specific PDZ. Due to the
uncertainty of whether this option will be used and the potential for alternative standards a
specific finding of compliance or non-compliance with the criterion cannot be made at this
time.
7. Protect the rights of property owners.
Criterion is met. Article 2, Section 3 of the Montana Constitution recognizes that land owners
have both property rights and associated responsibilities. PDZ must be requested by the
property owner and is a voluntary process. No part of the amendments remove rights of
property owners without their consent.
8. Require uniform monumentation of land subdivisions and transferring interests in
real property by reference to a plat or certificate of survey.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not alter the standards previously found adequate to
address this requirement. A PDZ may not alter standards established by non-city agencies
such as the standards for monumentation or sale of land.
Section 76-3-501, MCA (Subdivision Purposes)
This section requires local governments to adopt regulations that reasonably provide for:
9. Orderly development within the jurisdictional area.
Criterion is met. The PDZ process requires a three step process for approval. The concept
plan allows for early identification of concerns so that formal applications can be complete
and responsive to required criteria of review. A PDZ is reviewed as a zone map and text
amendment. These processes must conform to the guidance of the growth policy (BCP2020)
that establishes goals and priorities for the community. The legislative review process for a
PDZ requires public notice and multiple public hearings where the larger community impacts
can be considered. These additional standards will further support orderly development
through early contact with affected parties and providing opportunities to avoid or address
conflicts earlier in the review process.
282
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 15 of 20
10. Coordination of roads within subdivided land with other roads, both existing and
planned.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not alter the existing standards or planned locations
for road placement or expansion. New subdivisions will continue to be required to coordinate
the development of roads servicing the development with the overall street grid of the City,
both existing and planned. A PDZ may proposed alternate development standards. Under
any proposal this criteria will remain necessary to meet and coordination will occur. A PDZ
may not approve a waiver from a state required standard. See also Zoning Criterion F.
11. Dedication of land for roadways and for public utility easements.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not alter the existing standards for the width or
planned locations for road placement or expansion. New subdivisions will continue to be
required to coordinate the development of roads servicing the development with the overall
street grid of the City, both existing and planned. Configuration of easements for public
utilities such as water or sewer are not changing. See also Zoning Criterion F and
Subdivision Criterion 10.
12. Improvement of roads.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not alter the existing standards for road
improvements New subdivisions will continue to be required to coordinate the development
of roads servicing the development with the overall street grid of the City, both existing and
planned. Most detailed construction standards are now and will continue to be included in the
Design and Specifications created by the Engineering Division. See also Zoning Criteria D
and F and Subdivision Criterion 10.
13. Provision of adequate open spaces for travel, light, air and recreation.
Criteria is met. Standards for light and air are generally established by the Building Code and
Zoning regulations for individual lots. No changes are proposed affecting the amount of land
to be set aside for public parks. Subdivisions are required by the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act to provide for mitigation of recreational impacts. A PDZ may propose alternate
development standards. Under any proposal this criteria will remain necessary to meet and
coordination will occur. A PDZ may not approve a waiver from a state required standard. See
also Zoning Criterion F.
14. Adequate transportation, water and drainage.
Neutral. City standards for the referenced infrastructure are unchanged by the proposed
amendments. See comments in Subdivision Criteria 10-13. See also Zoning Criteria D and
F.
283
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 16 of 20
15. Regulation of sanitary facilities, subject to section 76-3-511, MCA.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not modify the regulations in place to ensure
adequate sanitary facilities to serve the development are installed in accordance with City
standards. The City has not established standards greater than state regulations or guidelines
that would be affected by 76-3-511. A PDZ may proposed alternate development standards.
Under any proposal this criteria will remain necessary to meet and coordination will occur. A
PDZ may not approve a waiver from a state required standard. Municipal water and sewer
systems are subject to and designed to conform with state established regulations and a PDZ
may not be approved contrary to those regulations. See also Zoning Criterion D.
16. Avoidance or minimization of congestion.
Neutral. See responses to Criterion 3 and 4, and 10-14 above. The amendments to create the
PDZ process do not in themselves address this criterion. Review of individual applications
and proposed standards will be evaluated.
17. Avoidance of subdivision which would involve unnecessary environmental
degradation and the avoidance of danger or injury to health, safety, or welfare by reason of
natural hazard or the lack of water, drainage, access, transportation, or other public
services or would necessitate an excessive expenditure of public funds for the supply of
such services.
Criterion is met. The proposed regulation establish a process by which individual
developments can be reviewed. The expectation continues that all necessary infrastructure
will be provided and environment features protected to avoid hazards to public safety.
See also Zoning Criteria A, D, and F and Subdivision Criteria 54-6, 14, and 15. The criterion
is met.
PROTEST NOTICE FOR ZONING AMENDMENTS
IN THE CASE OF WRITTEN PROTEST AGAINST SUCH CHANGES SIGNED BY THE OWNERS OF 25% OR MORE OF THE AREA OF THE LOTS WITHIN THE AMENDMENT
AREA OR THOSE LOTS OR UNITS WITHIN 150 FEET FROM A LOT INCLUDED IN A
PROPOSED CHANGE, THE AMENDMENT SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE EXCEPT BY THE FAVORABLE VOTE OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE PRESENT AND VOTING MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION.
The City will accept written protests from property owners against the proposal
described in this report until the close of the public hearing before the City
Commission. Pursuant to 76-2-305, MCA, a protest may only be submitted by the owner(s)
of real property within the area affected by the proposal or by owner(s) of real property that
lie within 150 feet of an area affected by the proposal. The protest must be in writing and
284
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 17 of 20
must be signed by all owners of the real property. In addition, a sufficient protest must: (i)
contain a description of the action protested sufficient to identify the action against which the
protest is lodged; and (ii) contain a statement of the protestor's qualifications (including
listing all owners of the property and the physical address), to protest the action against
which the protest is lodged, including ownership of property affected by the action. Signers
are encouraged to print their names after their signatures. A person may in writing withdraw
a previously filed protest at any time prior to final action by the City Commission. Protests
must be delivered to the Bozeman City Clerk, 121 North Rouse Ave., PO Box 1230,
Bozeman, MT 59771-1230.
APPENDIX A - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND
BACKGROUND
Chapter 1 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 includes a section titled “To Grow Or Not
To Grow, If So How?” This section considers the question of whether or not the City should
continue policies encouraging development within City limits. Several different related
issues are discussed and the conclusion is that construction within the City is a better
outcome.
Affordable housing is a long standing community concern. It was first addressed in the 1972
Master Plan for the community and then all subsequent community land use plans. Several
reports, studies, and plans including the Community Housing Action Plan and the One
Valley Community Foundation, Gallatin County Regional Housing Study, document the
needs for housing and the challenges in providing housing at costs affordable to residents.
The state legislature has limited the tools the City has to support affordable housing
construction. The City is required to use incentives to encourage construction rather than
mandating. The proposed ordinance places an increased emphasis on affordable housing as a
public benefit in exchange for the flexibility allowed through a PUD.
The City has several ongoing efforts to support creation of housing overall including:
o supporting and completing infrastructure construction,
o primarily of-right development review except where required by state law,
o use of tax increment financing in support of housing,
o general fund support for affordable housing projects, and
o many others.
The City consistently reviews and updates it regulations to keep them relevant and effective.
Over the past 20 years, the City has increased allowed development intensity and removed
possible cost barriers by the following and other actions:
• reduced standards such as land area per home by up to 60%,
• reduced setbacks from property lines by as much as 58%,
285
Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 18 of 20
• removed requirements for minimum home sizes,
• increased maximum allowed heights,
• authorized accessory dwellings for all residential zoning and reduced standards
related to accessory dwelling several times,
• simplified landscaping standards and encouraged lower water use plantings,
• approved dozens of zone map amendments to allow more intensive uses, and
• simplified review processes.
Despite this work the cost of housing has continued to escalate, especially compared to
wages.
The recent pandemic amplified existing trends and housing prices have greatly increased. An
article by Tim Ford in the May 1, 2022, Bozeman Magazine shows median single home sale
prices in the Bozeman area from first quarter 2020 to first quarter 2022 increasing by
$389,000. This is an increase of 76% in two years.
The gap between cost of construction and wages is not limited to Bozeman city limits. The
One Valley Foundation prepared a housing study in 2021 looking at the entire county and
affordable housing issues. Across all housing types and locations they found consistent gaps
in available wages and cost of construction. The following image is from that report.

Staff Report for the Planned Development Zones Text Amendment 22133 Page 19 of 20
The City cannot change any regulation that offsets such large increases in home prices and
capital gaps between wages and cost of construction. The City can, and is, examining what it
does control to identify such incremental improvements as may help. To do so, the City
retained Clarion and sub consultants to review the City’s land use regulations. Clarion
provided a report with recommendations of possible changes. The City Commission
considered that report on March 1st and directed staff to begin drafting amendments to
regulations. The first of these amendments was the Housing Departures for Housing Creation
text amendment, Ordinance 2111. Ordinance 2111 was provisionally adopted by the City
Commission on June 7, 2022 and is scheduled for final adoption on June 28, 2022.
Amendments to replace the planned unit development process is the 2nd element and the
subject of this report. A replacement of affordable housing requirements and process will be
reviewed this summer. A larger and more comprehensive code review is beginning and is
expected to conclude by the end of 2023.
APPENDIX B - NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Notice for text amendments must meet the standards of 38.220.410 & 420. Notice was

the city commission or community development director may require as a condition of approval mitigation exceeding the minimums of this chapter.

Section 8
That 38.250.050, Deviations, of the Bozeman Municipal Code be amended as follows:
Sec. 38.250.050. Deviations.
All requests for deviations in the neighborhood conservation overlay district or through the PUD process must be heard by the review authority established in section 38.200.010. Deviations may

Standards and criteria for award of deviations are contained in divisions 38.340 and 430 of this chapter. The granting of a deviation is an exercise of administrative power that can effect no change in the chapter. A deviation may be granted only in a specific instance permitting a nonconformity in order to accomplish the specific objectives of
sections 38.340.070 and 38.430.030.D, and provided the standards and criteria imposed are met.
Deviations must not be granted for relief from procedural requirements, or to waive or vary the application of an ordinance provision imposing specific safety requirements, or to waive or vary the application of other ordinances or statutes.
Section 9
That Paragraph A of 38.250.070, Zoning variances, of the Bozeman Municipal Code be amended

d. Requests for variances in conjunction with conditional use permits. Approvals of all such variances must be conditioned upon review authority approval of the conditional use permit.
2. The scope and extent of the variance must be limited to the minimum relief necessary to
provide reasonable use of the property.
3. In no case may the review authority grant variances to allow uses not already permitted pursuant to this chapter or alter administrative requirements of this chapter. Permission to change uses allowed on a parcel may be sought through a zone map amendment, or an amendment to the text of the applicable zoning district, or through a planned unit
development subject to division 38.430.
4. Notifications of approval for variances related to flood hazard requirements of article 6 of this chapter must notify the applicant that:
a. The issuance of a variance to construct a building below the 100-year floodplain elevation will result in increased premium rates; and
b. Such construction below the 100-year flood elevation increases risks to life and
property.
…
G. Planned development zone. Where the standards and requirements of this chapter are
proposed to be modified through a planned development zone, the applicable process is a
review of a planned development zone rather than a variance.

Section 16
That Paragraph D of 38.350.030, Use of lands; buildings and structures, of the Bozeman
Municipal Code be amended as follows with all other elements of the section remaining as
presently written:
D. Municipal infrastructure requirements.
1. Whenever any building lots and/or building sites are created inside the city limits or
existing lots are annexed, and prior to the issuance of any building permits on such lots
or sites, municipal water distribution, municipal sanitary sewer collection, and streets
must be provided to the site. Each building site must utilize and be connected to both
the municipal water distribution and municipal sanitary sewer collection systems.
Installation of improvements is subject to division 38.270 of this chapter.
a. Alternative. When, in the city's sole determination, it is in the city's long term best
interests to allow a building lot or site to be created or developed without
immediate access to either municipal water or municipal sewer the city may, at its
sole discretion, make such allowance when all of the following have been met:
(1) The non-municipal system to service the lot or site must be designed,
reviewed and constructed to meet city standards. Systems serving more than
one lot or user must be central systems;
312
Ordinance No. 2104, Planned Unit Development Repeal and Replace
Ord 2104
Page 25 of 52
(2) The non-municipal system must be designed and constructed in a manner to
allow connection to the municipal system components shown in applicable
facility plans to serve the property at such time as it becomes available;
(3) The landowner must provide waivers of right to protest creation of special
improvement districts or other financing methods to extend municipal water
and sewer services. Such extensions or connections may require construction
of system components that are not immediately adjacent to the building lot or
site;
(4) The landowner must agree to connect to municipal water and sewer services
and abandon and remove non-municipal services when so instructed by the
city. Such agreement must be binding on all successors and run with the
land;
(5) If the city takes responsibility to operate the non-municipal system it may
impose a surcharge to cover extra operational expenses. City operation of the
system is at the city's discretion;
(6) The requirement for future connection to the municipal water and/or sewer
system, waivers and agreements, and other applicable materials must be
either noted on the plat or final plan or a separate notice be recorded at the
county clerk and recorder's office so that such notice will appear on a title
report or abstract of the property;
(7) No non-municipal water or sewer systems must be constructed until all
necessary approvals from the state department of environmental quality, City
of Bozeman, county health department, and any other relevant agency have
been received; and
(8) The use of municipal water or sewer systems is considered to be the best
means to protect the public interest and welfare. The alternative for the use of
non-municipal systems is intended to be used sparingly and in extraordinary
circumstances. In order to protect the public interest, in approving a non-
municipal system the city may impose such conditions of approval as it
deems necessary.
2. These improvements must be designed, constructed and installed according to the
standards and criteria as adopted and approved by the city prior to the issuance of
any building permits.
3. When municipal water distribution and municipal sanitary sewer collection
systems are being provided to serve a development proposal occurring under the
provisions of division 38.430, planned unit development (PUD), tThe issuance of
a building permit may be allowed prior to completion of the public infrastructure,
provided the criteria, standards, and limitations of section 38.270.030 are met.

b. Places of public assembly in churches, schools and other permitted public and
semi-public buildings may exceed height limitations otherwise established by this
chapter, provided that:
(1) The portion of the building that exceeds the height limit must be limited to 10 percent of the total building footprint; and
(2) That for each one foot by which the height of such building exceeds the
maximum height otherwise permitted in the district, its side and rear setbacks
must be increased in width or depth by an additional one foot over the side and rear setbacks required in the district.
c. Elevator and stair penthouses, water tanks, monitors and scenery lofts are exempt from height limitations otherwise established in this chapter, provided that no
linear dimension of any such structure exceed 50 percent of the corresponding
street frontage line.

38.430.080 General Review Procedures for PDZ Applications
A. Applicability. A request to develop land in any of the five types of PDZ zoning districts
must be submitted and reviewed as a combined zoning map and text amendment under
division 38.260.
B. Procedure
1. General.
a. A PDZ zoning application requires review and approval of a general development
plan as described in this section concurrent with review of an application for a
zoning map amendment, as described in division 38.260.
b. A PDZ does not give authority for construction but a final development plan must be approved by the review authority prior to issuance of building permits or initiation of construction. Subdivision, site plan, or other review processes may
also be required prior to initiation of construction.
c. An application for a final development plan may be filed prior to final action on an application for a PDZ zone map amendment and a related general development plan provided that:
(1) No action by the review to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the
final development plan is effective until the zone map amendment and related general development plan is approved or approved with conditions.
(2) The review authority may waive specific requirements for information the applicant must include in a final development plan if the review authority determines that information has been included in the application for a general
development plan.
d. If applicant proposes a PDZ in conjunction with a subdivision, applicant may file an application for preliminary plat concurrently with the application for a general development plan. Applicant may be required to waive required subdivision review periods for subdivision review to enable coordination of review. The
review authority may waive specific requirements for information the applicant must include in a final development plan if the review authority determines that information has been included in the preliminary plat application.
e. The city will coordinate processing of the PDZ and subdivision applications to allow for consolidated consideration of both applications together if feasible.
324

[2] An applicant may request that the city concurrently process applications for a general
development plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plat. An applicant may request that the city concurrently process applications for a final development plan and Final Subdivision Plat. Such requests may be limited by 76-3-604(9) MCA.
C. PDZ Zoning and General Development Plan Review
1. Applicant may submit the PDZ zoning and general development plan review application upon completion of concept or informal,
2. The PDZ application must include, at a minimum the materials required in 38.220.120:
3. If the project requires approval of a subdivision plat, the applicant may submit an
application for a preliminary plat at the same time as a PDZ zoning application, and the two may be consolidated for joint consideration by the city commission. Section 76-3-604(9) MCA restricts applicability of changing zoning standards and may limit the ability of the city to consolidate review.
D. Concept/Informal Review. A concept review or informal application is required for all
PDZs as specified in 38.230.090. If the PDZ is proposed in association with a subdivision, the city may review subdivision pre-application and concept review or informal application for PDZ zoning concurrently. If an application for PDZ zoning and general development plan are not filed with the city within one year after the concept review or informal review,
325
Ordinance No. 2104, Planned Unit Development Repeal and Replace
Ord 2104
Page 38 of 52
the review authority may require another concept review or informal review meeting before the application is filed.
E. Noticing and Public Hearings
1. After the community development department determines the PDZ zoning and general
development plan applications contain all necessary information, the department will
set review dates before the community development board and before the city commission.
2. If the application also includes a complete application for a preliminary plat, the department will set a date for review of the plat in accordance with 38.240.
3. Notice shall be provided in accordance with division 38.220.
F. Review and Action
1. The community development department may refer a complete PDZ zoning application and associated general development plan application to other city or governmental departments, agencies, or districts whose jurisdiction involves some or
all of the land included in the application, for their comments or recommendations.
2. After conducting its public meeting, the community development board must recommend to the city commission approval or denial of the PDZ zoning application; and recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the associated general development plan application. If the applicant submitted an application for a
preliminary plat, the community development board must recommend approval,
approval with conditions, or denial of the preliminary plat.
3. After conducting its public hearing, the city commission may approve or deny the PDZ zoning application; and may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the associated general development plan application. The city commission may not approve a PDZ
zoning application before a general development plan for all of the property included in the PDZ zoning application is approved or approved with conditions.
4. If the applicant submitted an application for a preliminary plat, the city commission may concurrently consider the PDZ zoning and subdivision applications and approve, approve with conditions, or deny the preliminary plat concurrently pursuant to
38.240.150, if permitted by state law.
5. The review authority must indicate approval or denial of the final development plan pursuant to this section based on the PDZ zoning application and staff report, but the review authority’s decision shall not become final unless and until the city commission approves the PDZ zoning and approves the general development plan in a form that is
consistent with the final development plan.
G. Final Development Plan Review and Approval
1. After approval of a PDZ zoning application and approval or conditional approval of a general development plan, the review authority must approve a final development plan before applicant may initiate construction, or initiate any use based on the PDZ
326
Ordinance No. 2104, Planned Unit Development Repeal and Replace
Ord 2104
Page 39 of 52
approval. A final development plan must be approved prior to approval of any site plan, final plat, building permit, or other final development review decision.
2. Each final development plan must be consistent with the terms of the approved PDZ zoning and general development plan and may not include adjustments or waivers to
any reference base district standard inconsistent with the PDZ zoning or general
development plan.
3. The review authority may approve one final development plan for the entire PDZ property or may approve multiple final development plans for different portions of the property if the city has approved phased development pursuant to 38.430.070. The city
may not issue any building permit, and no individual or entity may initiate any
infrastructure or other construction; or any use on any portion of the property for which the review authority has not approved a final development plan.
4. If the city commission has approved both a PDZ zoning application and a related application for a preliminary plat, the final plat must be filed with the Gallatin County
Clerk and Recorder before the city may issue any building permit or before applicant
may initiate any building construction or use based on the PDZ approval.
5. A final PDZ zoning approval is not an approval to begin building construction. It provides the general plan and pattern for the applicant to submit associated subdivision plats and site plans for approval.
38.430.090 Criteria for Approval
The community development board may recommend approval of an application for PDZ zoning, and the city commission may approve an application for PDZ zoning, if it determines the PDZ application complies with the criteria in subsection A applicable to all PDZ applications and also complies with one or more of the criteria in subsection 2 applicable to specific types of PDZ
applications. The applicant has the burden of proof that the proposed PDZ and general development plan meet the criteria for approval.

documentation acceptable to the review authority ensures that the level of combined
water consumption, non-renewable energy consumption, average daily motor vehicle trip generation, or a combination thereof from all structures and uses included in the PDZ shall be at least 25 percent lower than levels commonly experienced by development meeting current established standards in each of the reference base
districts listed in the PDZ.
4. Large Development PDZ
a. The applicant has submitted a general development plan or other documentation acceptable to the review authority ensuring the development provides the amounts of affordable housing required by this section. If the PDZ proposes to provide an
equivalent affordable housing benefit for a period of at least 30 years, the review authority may consider the size, type, or location of the dwelling units, site or sustainable design features to be included in the development that would reduce operating or maintenance of the dwelling units, the proposed initial sale prices or rental rates of dwelling units, or other factors; and
b. The general development plan or other documentation acceptable to the review authority ensures the PDZ will include physical investments in public infrastructure, or in structures or facilities open to the public or to residents or users of the PDZ that significantly exceed those that would otherwise be required under the code for property located in the reference base district listed in the PDZ.
5. Combined Benefit PDZs
328
Ordinance No. 2104, Planned Unit Development Repeal and Replace
Ord 2104
Page 41 of 52
a. The applicant has submitted a development agreement or other documentation acceptable to the review authority ensuring the development provides at least one-half of the amounts of affordable housing required by this division. If the PDZ proposes to provide an equivalent affordable housing benefit for a period of at
least 30 years, the city may consider the size, type, or location of the dwelling
units, site or sustainable design features to be included in the development that would reduce operating or maintenance of the dwelling units, the proposed initial sale prices or rental rates of dwelling units, or other factors; and
b. The benefits to the city through the proposed combination of historic preservation,
sustainable/resilient development, and large development exceed the affordable
housing benefits that the city would have received if the PDZ had included the full amounts of affordable housing required by this division.
38.430.100 Duration of PDZ Approval
A. Zoning Map Amendment.
1. Initial approval. After preliminary approval of a PDZ the ordinance implementing the
PDZ district is required. Final adoption of the implementing ordinance does not occur until after a final development plan meeting all conditions of approval has been reviewed and is ready for approval.
2. An approved PDZ zoning does not expire after final adoption of the implementing
ordinance, but rezoning of the PDZ may be initiated by the city pursuant to division
38.260 if:
a. The city has not received an application for a building permit before the expiration of an approved final development plan pursuant to this section; or
b. The applicant does not proceed with development pursuant to one or more
approved final development plans according to provisions for phased development approved by the city.
B. General Development Plan Duration
1. An approved general development plan is valid for a period of one year unless the approved general development plan provides for a longer time or for phased
development, or the city commission approves an extension of such time. A final development plan for at least part of the PDZ property must be approved not later than within one year after the approval of a general development plan. The applicant may submit a written request for one extension of up to one additional year to submit the final development plan, and the director may approve such requests for good cause
shown.
2. If a general development plan expires, the right to proceed with the development pursuant to the approved general development plan is terminated, and the provisions of the reference base district(s) applicable to each portion of the land included in the general development plan shall apply, unless and until the city commission approves a
new general development plan pursuant to this section.

B. Changes greater than minor changes must be processed as a PDZ subject to 38.430.
Sec. 38.440.040. Duration of planned unit development approval.
A. Duration of preliminary plan approval. The provisions of this subsection A do not apply to subdivision elements of a PUD.
1. Within a maximum of one year following the approval of a preliminary plan, the
applicant must file with the community development department a final plan in
detailed form covering the entirety, or one or more phases, of the development.
2. Upon application and in accordance with the standards of section 38.230.140.F, the community development director may administratively extend the period for filing a final plan for six-month periods. The granting of administrative extensions under this
section may, at the discretion of the community development director, be referred to
the city commission.
3. If no final plan is filed covering all or any portion of the preliminary plan within the above time limits, the right to proceed under the preliminary plan will expire for any portion of the preliminary plan for which a final plan has not been timely filed.
B. Duration of final plan approval.
1. The applicant must undertake and complete the development of an approved final plan within two years from the time of final plan approval. For the purposes of this section, a development is substantially complete once all engineering improvements (water, sewer, streets, curbs, gutter, streetlights, fire hydrants and storm drainage) are installed
and completed in accordance with city rules and regulations. Extensions for periods of
not more than one year may be administratively granted by the community development director in accordance with the standards of section 38.230.140.F. The

2. A request for extension of final approval under this section must be submitted to the community development director in writing by the applicant at least 30 days prior to
the date of expiration. Failure to submit a written request within the specified time
period will cause forfeiture of the right to extension of final approval. Failure to construct the development and implement improvement requirements within the specified time limit will cause a forfeiture of the right to proceed under the final plan and require resubmission of all materials and re-approval of the same through the
preliminary plan procedures.
3. The timing of all extensions of final plan approval must be coordinated with the approval period established for any subdivision plat approval that is part of the PUD so that any expiration dates are consistent.
4. Final plan approval may occur multiple times under the provisions for phased PUDs
described in section 38.430.070.
Sec. 38.440.050. Enforcement of approval requirements and conditions.
The failure to comply with any of the terms, conditions of approval or limitations contained on the site plan, landscape plan, building elevations, other approved documents, or other element pertaining to a planned unit development which has received final approval from the city may subject the applicant or current landowner to the enforcement remedies contained in section
38.200.160.
38.440.060 Removal of property from an approved legacy planned unit development
A. A property owner may request removal of one or more parcels from a legacy PUD.
B. Such a request for removal must be in writing to the director of community development,
must clearly identify the PUD by the city's assigned application number under which the
PUD was approved, and must clearly state that the landowner is abandoning all associated
rights and privileges due to the PUD. The property owner is not relieved from participating
in ongoing maintenance of any facilities from which they benefit. The director of
community development may establish standards for the content, form, and supporting
materials to be included in a request to abandon an approval.
C. The city will review any such application pursuant to division 38.230.150 and may require
the applicant to provide assurances that any unfulfilled obligations related to construction or
maintenance of infrastructure or amenities, provision of open spaces, preservation of access,
or other matters addressed in the PUD, will be satisfied without imposing additional costs or
burdens on properties that are to remain included in the PUD or on any organization or
entity responsible for providing or maintaining improvements or services to the properties
remaining in the PUD.

the intent of this manual to promote the restoration, preservation, and conservation of
these resources.
II.Authority
The City Commission has the authority to review Planned Unit Development preliminary
plans and major amendments to PUDs.
III.Definitions
a.National Register of Historic Places – part of UDC definition
b.Secretary of Interior Standards
i. Preservation
ii.Reconstruction
iii. Restoration
iv.Renovation
c.Historic Resource (site) – part of UDC definition

IV.Review Procedure
a.A PUD application must follow the application process outlined in the Unified
Development Code (UDC). In order to qualify for a PUD with emphasis on historic and
cultural resources, the development must be reviewed against the development
standards established in the UDC.
b.It is recommended that prior to the pre-application review, the applicant meet with the
Historic Preservation Officer.
c.The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) may be consulted during the review of any
National Register nominations or inventory forms that are submitted.
d.If deemed appropriate, the Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) may be
consulted. It is more likely that HPAB will be consulted if the application proposes
demolition or significant alteration.
V.Design Objectives & Criteria
343
a. In order to qualify for the historic and cultural resource PUD, there are minimum
standards for consideration that must be identified in the pre-application review. The
City will determine compatibility based on the objectives and criteria outlined below.
i. How does the development protect and conserve the historic resource(s) on
site?
ii. Does the development comply with the Secretary of Interior Standards?
iii. Is the arrangement or design of new development sensitive to the historic
resource(s)?
iv. What are the protective measures taken to ensure the longevity of the historic
resource?
v. What purpose will the historic resource serve?
vi. Do the covenants or design guidelines include a commitment to the
preservation, restoration, and/or reuse of the historic resource?
vii. Are there any educational opportunities tied to the preservation of the historic
resource that will benefit the community at large?
viii. Are there sustainability techniques used to restore or preserve the historic
resource?
ix. What of the specific conditions outlined in Section 8 below are being used to
ensure that the historic resource is preserved?
VI. Submittal Material Requirements
a. PUD application documents as outlined in the UDC
b. Certificate of Appropriateness application documents as outlined in the UDC
c. Historic Resource Inventory
d. Design & Maintenance Manual
VII. General Standards for Exemptions
a. Historic Inventory Form/Survey – if a survey has been conducted in the past ten years
and the structure has not undergone any significant alterations, a new survey is not
required.
b. Tax exemptions – Historic Preservation tax credits can assist in incentivizing
rehabilitation projects to help create adaptive reuse projects such as affordable housing
and mixed use development.
c. Demolition exemptions – If demolition is proposed, the following are required with the
application.
i. Feasibility study – this study must illustrate an economic and structural
assessment justifying the need for demolition for all contributing properties.
ii. Salvage provisions – a plan to salvage and preserve historic materials, artifacts,
or incorporate architectural features into compatible new construction. This
also must include a plan to deconstruct some of the building for recycling
and/or reuse.
iii. Documentation – Photographs, drawings, and research of the building.
Photographs should include historic and current photographs.
iv. Final approval of replacement – If the structure to be demolished will be
replaced by a new structure, final approval is required prior to demolition.
v. Notice – Those within the PUD must be made aware of the demolition proposal.
344
VIII. Specific Conditions - There are multiple avenues that can be taken to ensure protection of a
historic resource. In order to qualify for the PUD of historic and cultural resources, a
minimum of one of these tools must be incorporated.
a. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
i. TDR help direct new development away from sensitive areas or properties that
contain historic resources. This can help protect land and structures with
conservation value or historical significance. These development rights can be
sold to another landowner or developer for the use at a different location. The
land that the development rights have been severed from is permanently
protected through a conservation easement or restrictive covenant.
ii. Density bonus – additional density allowed in a development using TDRs above
and beyond the combination of the underlying land-use laws and the value of
the purchased rights. (i.e. a buyer of development rights might be allowed to
build not just the square footage allowed on his lot plus the square footage and
also an additional 5% as an increased incentive to use TDRs).
iii. The City of Bozeman will aid in facilitating the TDR transaction. The TDR “Bank”

I. PURPOSE
This document shall be referred to as the Administrative Procedures Manual, hereinafter
known as the “Manual.” The following administrative procedures contained in this Manual
are intended to provide guidance to staff in administering the X, codified in X of the X,
hereinafter known as the “Ordinance” as it may be amended from time to time.
This Manual shall be adopted by administrative order by the City Manager, and updated
periodically to reflect administrative changes or upgrades to demand calculations. The
standards of this Manual shall be reviewed at least every X years.
II. AUTHORITY
The City Commission has authority to review Planned Development Zoning (PDZ)
preliminary plans and major amendments to PDZ.
III. DEFINITIONS
In addition to the above terms and phrases defined in the Ordinance, the following terms or
phrase are defined for use in this Manual:
Bike Repair Station – A freestanding vertical post or apparatus that provides a bicyclist with
a way to maintain their bike remotely. These stations typically feature a device to hold the
bike while performing maintenance operations, various essential tools and a bike pump.
HAWK Signal – High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk signals are typical used to assist people in
crossing busy streets. They are used on marked crosswalks and are activated by a user when
they activate the beacon before they cross. The beacon then transitions from yellow to red
to ensure that vehicles some to a complete stop.
ITE Trip Generation Manual – The Institute of Transportation Engineers has published a
manual dedicated to calculating and evaluating multimodal trip generation for urban,
suburban and rural applications. Typically this data is presented to the city during the review
process and is included in the Traffic Impact Study (TIS).
Level of Service (LOS) – A qualitative measurement used in transportation engineering to
express the functionality of motor vehicle traffic service. There are six designations, letters
“A” through “F”, with “A” being the highest functioning and “F” being the least functioning.
Planned Development Zoning (PDZ) – As defined in the UDC: “a land development project
consisting of residential clusters, industrial parks, shopping centers, or office building parks
or any combination thereof that compose a planned mixture of land uses built in a
prearranged relationship to each other and having open space and community facilities in a
common ownership or use, and/or public parkland.” Typically PUDs require a special
attention to meeting specific requirements and in the end should offer a superior quality of
planning, design and livability.
RRFB Signal – Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon signals are used at crosswalks to allow
pedestrians to cross safely. The user activates the signal by pressing a button before they
358
4
cross. This button activates the beacon to flash, warning on-coming cars that there is a
pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Separated Shared Use Path – This type of path is typically used in place of a sidewalk and/or
on-street bicycle lane to accommodate multiple types of non-motorized transportation
devices. Paths such as this might be wider than traditional sidewalks and might have unique
pavement markings or wayfinding. An example of a Shared Use Path within City of Bozeman
limits is the College to Huffine Trail, which spans from Montana State University’s campus at
South 11th Avenue to Huffine Lane near the Gallatin Valley Mall.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) – An overarching term for best practices
intended to reduce motor vehicle miles traveled within the transportation system by
utilizing programmatic, policy and physical improvements to allow more mobility options for
all community members.

IV. OVERVIEW
A. GENERAL
New development has an impact on the existing transportation system by adding daily
generated vehicle trips. It is anticipated that the proposed development will add these
types of trips and cause an impact to the transportation system for all users. The
importance of planning and constructing the public realm for all users and all forms of
mobility enhances the livability of the community, improves health and safety and
provides resiliency in the face of climate change and changing socioeconomic situations.
By providing strategies that strive to address these types of larger community
challenges, this development, and others, will be part of the connected network and
provide residents or users with an improved experience and opportunity in the larger
community. In addition, the strategies herein reinforce and support other adopted
policies and plans.
B. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING

Development Zoning (PDZ) code. In order to qualify for a PDZ with emphasis on
Sustainability: Transportation, the development must be reviewed against the
development standard established in that code, which reads “X” and is in line with
industry best practices.
The Planned Development Zoning section of the Bozeman Municipal Code provides an
option for meeting PDZ requirements by demonstrating that the development has a trip
generation reduction of 25%. The baseline for this calculation is measured by…
Calculations should be documented by using the methodology identified in the most
recent edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual.
It is recommended that prior to the pre-application review, the applicant meet with the
City of Bozeman’s Engineering Division to discuss transportation related planning and
design issues.
C. STRATEGIES
Applicants can utilize many strategies and best practices to achieve a 25% trip
generation reduction within their development and in addition can work with the city to
implement innovative and progressive practices that lead to this reduction and a
reduction in the impact of the new development on existing transportation systems and
other factors identified in the City’s growth policy. The four (4) strategies listed below
are acceptable options for meeting the intent of the PDZ requirements. These four (4)
strategies are not inclusive of all of the potential solutions for achieving the 25%

signage, and larger transitionary zones for bicyclists and pedestrians for crossings and
intersections.
Submittals for all options and cases:
-PDZ application documents as outlined in the UDC.
-A narrative describing the plan to implement proposed project enhancements and how
they collectively mitigate the impact of trips generated from the project.
-Physical plans for implementation, including details commensurate with the level of
detail required by planning review of the PDZ.
C. Strategy 3: Permit Parking
Criteria:
Permitted and paid parking management systems help offset the real long-term
maintenance costs for parking facilities. Permitted parking ensures that each resident
has a minimum number of parking assigned to their residence. Managed paid parking
systems assist in providing incentives to use other modes of transportation to reach
destinations in a well-connected system, including using transit, riding bicycles and
walking.

City considers creation of “Planned Development Zones” to replace the “Planned Unit Development” process
As a part of the City’s efforts to allow different types of housing to be proposed and built in the community, and to encourage creation of affordable housing, several changes to the municipal code are being proposed. These changes reflect the review that was done last year by consultants to identify and
address potential barriers to creating more homes in our community. You can check out the full report
from the project, what we heard from the public during community engagement, and recommendations in the Documents section on the Code Audit web page. What? The amendments being considered at upcoming Community Development Board and City
Commission meetings will replace the current Planned Unit Development (PUD) process with a new
kind of zoning district called a Planned Development Zone (PDZ).
Why? The existing Planned Unit Development process allows an applicant to propose different land development standards in exchange for public benefits. Planned unit developments are allowed in all zoning districts.
Planned Development Zones (PDZ) are a new kind of custom zoning district. PDZs may allow different
combinations of uses and design standards while still requiring public benefits. Public benefits in a PDZ may include requirements for 10% of the residential units to be affordable to rent or own at a targeted income range, protection of historic structures, sustainable design, and the coordinated development of larger areas or many structures in the same project.
PDZs are designed to more tightly focus on current community priorities for public benefits and provide
an intermediate review step where the public can see project character and layout before approval of a zoning district.
How can I weigh in? There will be two public hearings where members of the public can provide public comment in person or virtually. The first is on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., at the
Community Development Board meeting. The City Commission will host the second public hearing
on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. Find the agendas, meeting materials, and a link to join the meeting virtually at https://www.bozeman.net/meetings. You can also provide public comment by sending an email to agenda@bozeman.net or submitting
written comments to Chris Saunders at the City of Bozeman, Department of Community Development,
P.O. Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771-1230. Please reference Ordinance 2104 in all comments. For those who require accommodations for disabilities, please contact Mike Gray, City of Bozeman ADA Coordinator, 582-3232 (voice), 582-3203 (TDD).

BACKGROUND:The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board was created under

state, and federal planning and decision-making processes. The historic
preservation program includes identification, evaluation, and protection of
historic resources within the city (Ordinance No. 1180, Section 2, 1985). The
Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board shall serve in an advisory
capacity to the City Commission and other staff members or boards seeking

district, on file at the city planning office. A member may be chosen from a

Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit
for this board.
I am a current highly motivated and active member of this board. As an At Large member I represent the Lindley
Historic District, which is in my neighborhood. I would like to continue to work on the Work Plan that HPAB created
this year. I have studied the current academic research on historic preservation and would like to put these new
ideas into practice in Bozeman: adaptive reuse, preservation as conservation, and social equity in historical
preservation.
The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged
in to expand your understanding of DEI.
I am a Spanish teacher and have taught DEI in my professional career for 25 years. I have participated in the City of
Bozeman public comment sessions on DEI. I have studied the current academic literature on social equity and
historic preservation and hope to use these new inclusive ideas on the Board, especially those relating equity in
housing to historic preservation.

I feel that our board is re-energizing around new issues in historic preservation and how historic preservation relates
to the creation of affordable housing. I would like to continue to be a part of this work. Myself and another board
member are at the initial stages of investigating how to create a multi-property historic district based on the
remaining existing historical residences of minorities in the City of Bozeman. I would like to continue this work.

Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit

I am currently a licensed architect in the state of Montana, have been living/ working in Bozeman since attending
MSU starting in 1990, and would like to be more involved in the community. I regularly interact with the City
planning and historic preservation offices for commercial and residential projects. Although preservation is not a
specialty of mine, I understand the importance of historical and cultural context as it relates to growth and change
within Bozeman.
The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged
in to expand your understanding of DEI.
My understanding of DEI has come indirectly through my daughters (currently in high school/ college) and their
push for inclusiveness in their circles, and through my wife who works to expand DEI in her field of expertise –
environmental/ chemical engineering. I have not had the opportunity to directly affect change in this area in my
workplace, but am learning more about it.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Taylor Chambers, Deputy City Clerk
Mike Maas, City Clerk
Jeff Mihelich, City Manager
SUBJECT:Appointments to the Downtown Business Improvement District Board
MEETING DATE:July 12, 2022
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:I move to appoint two members, Ileana Indreland & Eric Bowman to terms
ending June 30, 2025.
AND
I move to designate the Chair and Vice-chair to be, [Insert Name] and [Insert
Name], respectively.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.2 Community Engagement: Broaden and deepen engagement of the
community in city government, innovating methods for inviting input from
the community and stakeholders.
BACKGROUND:The Bozeman Downtown Business Improvement District Board (BDBID)
currently has four vacancies. Two applications have been received.
Montana Code stipulates that BDBID Board members be owners of property
within the district. In the past, several applicants were appointed to the
board as "property owner representatives" because their property title
named a corporation as the owner rather than the individual. For many
years the City Commission has honored this precedent by appointing
property owner representatives to the BID Board.
The BID was originally created by Resolution 3361 and Ordinance 1517, per
MCA 7-12-1121, in May of 2000. In June of 2010, the BID was
extended/recreated by Resolution 4263 for an additional ten years. On
August 11, 2020, the BID was recreated by Resolution 5141 and Ordinance
2040 until 2030.
The board shall be comprised of not less than five, nor more than seven,
owners of property within the district. Members are appointed for staggered
four-year terms.

Resolution 5323 that established a High Performing Boards model. In that
Resolution the City Commission asserted that "Board Officers (Chair & Vice-
chair) shall be appointed by the City Commission."
The previous Chair, Eric Bowman has reapplied; the previous Vice-chair has
opted not to reapply.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None.
