22244 City Commission Findings of Fact and Order for the Billings Clinic Bozeman
Medical Campus Preliminary Planned Unit Development (P-PUD) and companion
Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
Date: City Commission Public Hearing November 22, 2022 City Commission Room,
Bozeman City Hall, 121 North Rouse Avenue Bozeman, MT 59715
Project Description: This Preliminary PUD and its accompanying Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
would amend the base B-2, Community Business zoning for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus--a mixed-use development of a 58-acre vacant property located in the northwest edge of
the City. This medical campus has been approved as a Master Site Plan [Project No. 20216] and
its first 125,000 square foot (sf) Phase 1 ambulatory medical service building Site Plan [No.
20213] has been approved and is under construction on a 10-acre portion of the campus at its
northeast edge. The Community Development Board reviewed the PUD Concept Plan on March
7, 2022 (Project No. 21471) and reviewed this P-PUD/CUP on August 15, 2022 and
recommended approval of the P-PUD/CUP. The P-PUD provides deviations to the B-2 zoning
and other zoning and design standards of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) for the “campus”
Site in order to facilitate a long-range development that would fulfill the Applicant’s medical
service mission for this Bozeman campus. The P-PUD is consistent with, and would enable
implementation of, the adopted Master Site Plan. The City Commission considered the P-
PUD/CUP at a September 13, 2022 public hearing and voted unanimously, 5 to 0, to approve the
application with the 3 staff-recommended conditions and with the addition of a
deviation/relaxation to allow all types of housing on all levels of development within the PUD
Site.
Project Location: Largely unaddressed except the Phase 1 development site at 3905 Wellness
Way, Bozeman, MT.
Legal Description: The parcel is legally described as Lot 2A-1, Minor Subdivision 221F of
S26, T1 S, R5 E, P.M.M., City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to sign the Findings of Fact and Order for the
approval of the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned Unit
Development and Conditional Use Permit, with the staff-recommended conditions and
applicable code provisions.
Motion: “Having reviewed and considered the application materials, public comment, and all
the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the Findings of Fact and
Order staff report for application 22244 and move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Findings
of Fact and Order for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned Unit
Development and Conditional Use Permit application, subject to conditions and all applicable
code provisions.”

Executive Summary
The Community Development Board reviewed the PUD Concept Plan on March 7, 2022 (Project
No. 21471) and reviewed this P-PUD/CUP on August 15, 2022 and recommended approval of
the P-PUD/CUP. The P-PUD provides deviations to the B-2 zoning and other zoning and design
standards of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) for the “campus” Site in order to facilitate a
long-range development that would fulfill the Applicant’s medical service mission for this
Bozeman campus. The P-PUD is consistent with, and would enable implementation of, the
adopted Master Site Plan. The City Commission considered the P-PUD/CUP at a September 13,
2022 public hearing and voted unanimously, 5 to 0, to approve the application with the 3 staff-
recommended conditions and with the addition of a deviation/relaxation to allow all types of
housing on all levels of development within the PUD Site.
The City Commission’s review, deliberation and findings may be found under the linked minutes
and recorded video of the meetings located at this web page filed under the date 9/13/22:
https://www.bozeman.net/services/city-tv-and-streaming-audio.
No public comment was received on the application prior to or at the public hearing.
Concurrent construction of the adjacent street, site infrastructure and buildings is proposed.
The criteria for granting a PUD are found in BMC 38.430.090.E.
A PUD is a discretionary approval and the review authority must find that the overall development
is superior to that offered by the basic existing zoning standards as required in BMC 38.430.A.4.c.
The intent of a PUD is to promote maximum flexibility and innovation in development proposals
within the City. The Applicants can request deviations/relaxations from the code in exchange for
a higher quality of design. The obligation to show a superior outcome is the responsibility of the
Applicant. The Applicant asserts that the overall outcome of the proposal is superior to what would
be obtained from the application of the default B-2 zoning district.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed the application. Based on its evaluation
of the application against the criteria, the DRC found the application adequate for continued
review. The DRC supports the granting of concurrent construction for this project with the
satisfaction of all code requirements related to concurrent construction with the Final PUD
application.
Unresolved Issues
There are no unresolved issues with this application.

deviations, the applicable objectives and criteria of section 38.430.100, or other objectives
or criteria of this chapter. The final plan must not contain any changes which would allow
increased deviation/relaxation of the requirements of this chapter; and the final plat, if
applicable, does not create any additional lots which were not reviewed as part of the
preliminary plan submittal. Final plan approval. The final plan may be approved if it
conforms to the approved preliminary plan in the manner described above. Prior to final
plan approval, the review authority may request a recommendation from the DRB, DRC,
ADR staff, or other entity regarding any part of a proposed final plan.
SECTION 5 - ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the
review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report
is a summary of the completed review.
Applicable Plan Review Criteria, Section 38.230.100, BMC.
The Applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically
listed as conditions of approval, do not in any way create a waiver or other relaxation of the
lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law.
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
1. Conformance to and consistency with the City’s adopted growth policy
Yes. The property has a future land use designation of Regional Commercial and Services. Table
C-16 of the Bozeman Community Plan shows the B-2 District as an implementing district of the
Regional Commercial and Services designation. The P-PUD land use deviations/relaxations
would allow both medical service businesses and employment, open space and would facilitate
housing of all types, particularly for employees of the Site.
The project is in conformance to and consistent with the City’s adopted growth policy, the
Bozeman Community Plan, including the following goals and objectives:
Relevant Bozeman Community Plan policies are noted below.
LU-1: Create a sense of place that varies throughout the City, efficiently provides public and
private basic services and facilities in close proximity to where people live and work, and
minimizes sprawl.
Objective LU-2.3: Encourage redevelopment and intensification, especially with mixed uses, of
brownfields and underutilized property within the City consistent with the City’s adopted
standards.
Objective E-4.2: Promulgate efficient land use practices.

Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 10 of 22
Goal H-1: Promote an adequate supply of safe, quality housing that is diverse in type, density,
cost, and location with an emphasis on maintaining neighborhood character and stability.
Theme 3: A City Bolstered by Downtown and Complementary Districts.
Goal DCD-1: Support urban development within the City.
DCD-1.5: Identify underutilized sites, vacant, and undeveloped sites for possible development or
redevelopment, including evaluating possible development incentives.
DCD-1.7: Coordinate infrastructure construction, maintenance, and upgrades to support infill development,
reduce costs, and minimize disruption to the public.
Goal DCD-2: Encourage growth throughout the City, while enhancing the pattern of community development
oriented on centers of employment and activity. Support an increase in development intensity within
developed areas.
DCD2.2: Support higher density development along main corridors and at high visibility street corners to
accommodate population growth and support businesses.
DCD-2.7: Encourage the location of higher density housing and public transit routes in proximity to one
another.
Goal DCD-3: Ensure multimodal connectivity within the City.
DCD-3.5: Encourage increased development intensity in commercial centers and near major employers.
Goal DCD-4: Implement a regulatory environment that supports the Community Plan goals.
DCD-4.4: Differentiate between development and redevelopment. Allow deviations of code provisions for
developed parcels to allow redevelopment to the full potential of their zoning district.
For more information on the growth policy designation please see Appendix A.

Focus Area 3: Vibrant & Resilient Neighborhoods
Solution G: Facilitate Compact Development Patterns
Solution J: Increase Walking, Bicycling, Carpooling and Use of Transit.
2. Conformance to this chapter, including the cessation of any current violations
Yes. The project, if approved, will conform to the Bozeman Municipal Code other than the
requested deviations/relaxations. There are no known documented violations of the BMC for this
property.
3. Conformance with all other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations
Yes. The proposed uses of the site, other than the requested relaxations, are consistent with the
allowed uses of the B-2 district. No specific conflicts have been identified. Additional steps will
be required including but not limited to final payment for cash in lieu of water rights, finalization
of the final PUD and recordation of the Final PUD/CUP conditions of approval, dedication of the
streets and parkland for any housing proposed, dedication of the utility easements, construction of
infrastructure, and approval of building permits. The Building Division of the Department of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 11 of 22
Community Development will review the requirements of the International Building Code for
compliance at the time of building permit application.
4. Conformance with special review criteria for applicable permit type as specified in
Article 2
Yes. This CUP and PUD criteria are reviewed below. The project meets the requirements and
criteria as presented.
5. Conformance with the zoning provisions of Article 3, including permitted uses, form
and intensity standards and requirements, applicable supplemental use criteria, and
wireless facilities and/or affordable housing provisions if applicable
Yes. The medical office and support services to those uses are permitted in the B-2 District.
Housing of all types is added as a principal permitted land use to facilitate a jobs-housing balance
for this medical “campus” PUD. Form and intensity standards are met with the proposal other
than the proposed deviations/relaxations for building height, signage, parking, block frontages,
street light color, and block size as noted below.
(1) BMC Table 38.310.040.C. All types of residential use, including on the ground floor, in a
B-2 zone. This deviation would allow dwelling units of all types on all floors of buildings
within the campus.
(2) BMC 38.320.050. Building Height. Where the B-2 zone lying within a Regional
Commercial and Services Growth Policy designation allows a 90-feet building height for
pitched roof buildings and 75-feet for flat roof buildings, the Applicant seeks building
heights of up to 151-feet and 8 stories in Areas B and D in the south-central and south-
east portions of the campus and seeks heights of 104-feet and 6 stories in Areas A, C and
G.
(3) BMC 38.560.060. Signage. Since the 58-acre Site is a single parcel/lot, the standard way
to regulate the maximum amounts of signage on a per lot basis does not work for this
campus. Rather than a “per lot” measurement of signage, the PUD would establish a “per
linear foot of the building” limit for wall signs. In addition, the PUD would increase the
height and signage square footage of identifying “monument” signs.
(4) City Commission Resolution For Standard Streetlight Design. The Phase 1
development of the campus medical center was allowed by the City Engineer to install
black streetlight poles instead of the City standard dark green poles. Deviation No. 7
would allow the continued use of the black streetlight poles and fixtures within the
campus. Note that this is not a zoning deviation but, rather, is an adopted City policy by
the City Commission. The City Commission must explicitly grant this request. The City
Engineer supports this alternate street light fixture for the entire campus provided the
developer maintains repairs and provides an adequate supply of replacement parts for the
black street light fixtures.
(5) BMC 38.540.050-3, Parking Minimum and Maximum Quantities. Deviation No.
8 would exempt all developments within the PUD Site from any minimum or maximum
parking requirement. In its place, each lot owner/developer would prepare a parking needs
assessment to determine the number of parking spaces s/he deems necessary to satisfy
their own or their tenants’ needs. Per this deviation, residential or commercial parking
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 12 of 22
provided could be met via surface lots, parking garages and/or on-street parking (where
BMC limits on-street parking to meet only residential demands).
(6) BMC 38.510.030.M, Block Frontage Standards for Parking Structures. Deviation No. 9
would exempt parking structures from having to have retail, office or residential uses
placed or “wrapped” around on the building’s ground floor space. Staff questioned
whether this deviation would produce a “superior” structure and “neighbor” to the
campus. The Applicant explained that this deviation was necessary for medical service-
related garage structures and that retail or office uses “wrapped” around the ground floor
of the garage would be a distraction and would not support the medical service use that
the garage services. Since this is a medical service campus, staff defers to the Applicant
as an expert in the needs of its medical service providers and, therefore, supports this
deviation in order to produce a better, if not superior, garage function for the adjacent
medical service facilities that it serves.
(7) BMC 38.540.050.A.4 Bicycle Parking. Deviation No. 10 would reduce the number of
bicycle parking spaces required from the BMC standard 10% of the number of vehicle
spaces required (note that no vehicle parking would be required per Deviation No. 8) to
10% of the number of staff parking spaces provided and 2% of the number of
patient/visitor parking spaces provided.
(8) BMC 38.510.030.D. Block Frontage. Deviation No. 11 would exempt all buildings and
parking lots from all block frontage requirements of 38.510.030, with the exception that
buildings with frontage along a public street must meet the applicable Block Frontage
transparency requirements. Should this deviation be granted, (a) Buildings may be
setback from the street any distance; (b) building side or rear facades may face the street
but if facing a public, City-maintained street, it must meet the applicable Block Frontage
transparency requirements; (c) parking may be located on all sides of a building; (d)
parking structures may front on internal or frontage streets and do not have to have
commercial space “lining” or “wrapping” around the façade; (e) parking along streets may
exceed 50% of the street frontage; and (f) ground floor residential units would not be
assured the privacy and safety standards of subsection J, Special Residential Block
Frontage standards.
(9) BMC 38.410.040. Block Size. Block length and width (Deviation 12 found on page 17 of
Attachment A). The approved Master Site Plan for this “campus” accommodates a variety
of block sizes, lengths, width and configurations. This is a single lot and the Applicant
has divided the development of the campus into 7 Areas. This deviation exempts
development within this single lot “block” from the BMC standards for 300 to 400
maximum length and 200 feet maximum width blocks.
6. Conformance with the community design provisions of Article 4, including
transportation facilities and access, community design and element provisions, and
park and recreational requirements
Yes, with approval of the proposed deviations/relaxations of the P-PUD including, Block
Frontage, Block Size and length, building height, parking and signage.
7. Conformance with the project design provisions of Article 5, including compatibility
with, and sensitivity to, the immediate environment of the site and adjacent
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33

neighborhoods and other approved development; design and arrangement of the
elements of the plan; landscaping; open space; lighting, signage;
Yes. This single lot campus Site is under single ownership and forms its own neighborhood. The
proposed UDC deviation/relaxation that can be viewed outside of the Site would be building
heights in Area D which could have heights of up to 151 feet and 8 stories as shown below.

22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 14 of 22
8. Conformance with environmental and open space objectives set forth in Articles 4—
6, including the enhancement of the natural environment, watercourse and wetland
protections and associated wildlife habitats; and if the development is adjacent to an
existing or approved public park or public open space area, have provisions been made
in the plan to avoid interfering with public access to and use of that area
Yes. Pursuant to the approved Master Site Plan, the existing Catron Creek at the western edge of
the Site is preserved as publicly-accessible open space with connections to the Pond Park to the
south. There are not wetlands or floodplains on the Site.
9. Conformance with the natural resource protection provisions of Article 4 and Article
6
Yes as noted above.
10. Other related matters, including relevant comment from affected parties
No public comment has been received to date.

11. If the development includes multiple lots that are interdependent for circulation or
other means of addressing requirement of this title, whether the lots are either:
a. Configured so that the sale of individual lots will not alter the approved configuration
or use of the property or cause the development to become nonconforming; or
b. The subject of reciprocal and perpetual easements or other agreements to which the
City is a party so that the sale of individual lots will not cause one or more elements of
the development to become nonconforming
Not applicable; this is a single lot under single ownership by the Applicant.
12. Phasing of development.
This “campus” would be developed over a 10 or 20-year period, depending upon market demand
for medical services and support uses, such as workforce housing.
Conditional Use Permit Review Criteria, Section 38.230.110, BMC.
E. In addition to the review criteria of section 38.230.100, the review authority shall, in
approving a conditional use permit, determine favorably as follows:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topography to
accommodate such use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading and
landscaping are adequate to properly relate such use with the land and uses in the
vicinity;
Yes, the 58-acre campus Site, in single ownership, is sufficient in size to meet setbacks, parking
and landscaping standards and can implement the adopted Master Site Plan.
2. That the proposed use will have no material adverse effect upon the abutting
property. Persons objecting to the recommendations of review bodies carry the burden
of proof;
No adverse impacts to abutting properties have been identified. The campus site continues commercial activity of the land to the southeast. The medical services activities of the PUD would
be separated from the residential neighborhood to the southwest by parkland/pond and a
watercourse. Lands to the north are industrial and include a freeway and lands to the northwest
are in agricultural use but are proposed for mixed commercial and residential development, having
recently been annexed into the City and zoned REMU, Residential Emphasis Mixed Use District.
The 6 story building(s) allowed by the PUD deviation would produce buildings out of scale with
the current surrounding lower-scale office and residential buildings to the southwest. However,
this is due to the need for building height to accomplish land use efficiencies, facilitate compact
development and associated reduction of sprawl, improve walkability within the campus setting,
and to provide sufficient vertical integration of medical service functions within the hospital building(s). Therefore, although the building height increases would be a different scale, the
location of the taller buildings in the core or center of the campus would provide visual relief from
their “difference” in massing and scale. The Applicant provided a viewshed study in their
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 16 of 22
application. It is also noted that adjacent vacant properties can be expected to be built-out in the
near-term with up to 5 story buildings permitted in their new REMU zoning.
3. That any additional conditions stated in the approval are deemed necessary to
protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Such conditions may include, but
are not limited to:
a. Regulation of use;
b. Special yards, spaces and buffers;
c. Special fences, solid fences and walls;
d. Surfacing of parking areas;
e. Requiring street, service road or alley dedications and improvements or
appropriate bonds;
f. Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress;
g. Regulation of signs;
h. Requiring maintenance of the grounds;
i. Regulation of noise, vibrations and odors;
j. Regulation of hours for certain activities;
k. Time period within which the proposed use shall be developed;
l. Duration of use;
m. Requiring the dedication of access rights; and
n. Other such conditions as will make possible the development of the city in an
orderly and efficient manner.
It is anticipated that the proposed conditions and code provisions outlined in this report, the
proposed UDC deviations/relaxations, and the proposed PUD design guidelines would
adequately address any relevant such elements of the project.
F. In addition to all other conditions, the following general requirements apply to
every conditional use permit granted:
1. That the right to a use and occupancy permit shall be contingent upon the
fulfillment of all general and special conditions imposed by the conditional use permit
procedure; and
2. That all of the conditions shall constitute restrictions running with the land use,
shall apply and be adhered to by the owner of the land, successors or assigns, shall be
binding upon the owner of the land, his successors or assigns, shall be consented to in
writing, and shall be recorded as such with the county clerk and recorder's office by the

property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits, final plan approval or
commencement of the conditional use.
The necessary recording of documents will be addressed as part of the final PUD plan
process and will be required prior to approval of the final PUD.
Planned Unit Development Review Criteria, Section 38.430.090.E, BMC.
In addition to the criteria for all site plan and conditional use reviews, the following criteria
will be used in evaluating all planned unit development applications.
a. All development. All land uses within a proposed planned unit development shall
be reviewed against, and comply with, the applicable objectives and criteria of the
mandatory "all development" group.
(1) Does the development comply with all city design standards, requirements and
specifications for the following services: water supply, trails/walks/bike ways, sanitary
supply, irrigation companies, fire protection, electricity, flood hazard areas, natural gas,
telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets?
Yes, except for those standards proposed for deviation/relaxation, the application conforms and
in some areas exceeds standards.
(2) Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation?
Yes. The site has been substantially disturbed by previous agricultural activities and grazing and
roads and other infrastructure installation has disturbed the fallow agricultural lands. However,
the far western portion of the Site has the Cattail Creek passing through it from the Pond Lake to
the south to a private pond on a ranch house lot to the north. The PUD includes this Cattail Creek
stream as a protected open space feature for the public to enjoy.
(3) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and
landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to produce an efficient, functionally organized
and cohesive planned unit development?
Yes. The proposal is cohesive and has a variety of coordinating elements ranging from efficient
circulation, presentations of building fronts to the streets, lot access from the rear of the lots from
internal drive aisles accessed from internal streets designed to City standards, open space, trails
and multiple landscape configurations.
(4) Does the design and arrangement of elements of the site plan (e.g., building
construction, orientation, and placement; transportation networks; selection and
placement of landscape materials; and/or use of renewable energy sources; etc.) contribute
to the overall reduction of energy use by the project?
Yes. The 58-acre campus Site can accommodate building pad layouts which are favorable to
installation of solar systems. All new public streets within the campus would be complete streets.
Although this Site and the area to the north has only recently been annexed into the City and is

Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 18 of 22
still developing, the circulation system for this campus, with pedestrian and bicycle routes, will
connect to the City’s trail system to the south and the new development north of Westlake Way
can connect to trails within the medical campus and beyond.
(5) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and
landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to maximize the privacy by the residents of the
project?
If housing is developed within the Site, the UDC Special Residential Block Frontage standards
for privacy and safety would apply.
(6) Park land. Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas
contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the site configuration, and has the area of
park land or open space been provided for each proposed dwelling as required by section
38.420.020?
Yes. Common and publicly-accessible open space is provided per UDC code requirements and
parkland would be provided should housing be built within the campus.
(7) Performance. All PUDs shall earn at least 20 performance points.
Yes. PUD Section 38.430.090.E.2.a.7 requires at least 20 performance points for the subject
property. There are 11 options provided in the UDC to meet this requirement. Points can be met
using any combination of on-site and off-site open space or other options listed in the code. The
Preliminary PUD must specify how the performance points are being met. The PUD is proposing
to satisfy the performance requirements with credits for additional open space, wayfinding signage
and sheltered bus stops within the Site.
Open space provisions for phased PUD developments. If a project is to be built in phases, each
phase shall include an appropriate share of the proposed recreational, open space, affordable
housing and other site and building amenities of the entire development used to meet the
requirements of Section 38.20.090.E.2. The appropriate share of the amenities for each phase shall
be determined for each specific project at the time of preliminary approval and shall not be based
solely upon a proportional or equal share for the entire site.
This application proposes the following performance points:
a. Additional Open Space—14 Performance Points. BMC 38.520.060.C requires usable open
space for commercial developments at 2% of the net square footage/acreage of the Site. The 58-
acre “campus”, excluding streets, parking, service areas, access and required landscaping would
provide 52.4 acres of net development. Two percent of the 52.4 net acres is 1.05 acres of open
space needed for the commercial development within the campus. The PUD proposes to provide
6.91 net acres of active open space within the campus, which represents 5.86 net acres of additional
open space. This additional open space equals to 11.2% of the campus area. BMC
38.430.090.E.2.a.(7) grants 1.25 Performance Points for each percent of the project area that is
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 19 of 22
provided as publicly accessible additional open space. In this case, the 5.86 acres of additional
open space, at 11.2% of the Site, earns 14 Performance Points for this PUD.
b. Wayfinding signage—4 Performance Points. BMC 38.430.090.E.2.a (7) h grants Performance
Points for integrated and coordinated wayfinding signs throughout the campus. The Applicant
proposes such a program of wayfinding signage which earns 4 Performance Points for the PUD.
Wayfinding signs throughout the campus are a critical need for patient expedited care.
c. Bus Stop—2 Performance Points. The Applicant is negotiating with Streamline transit service
to install two sheltered bus stops within the campus to earn 2 Performance Points pursuant to BMC
38.430.090.E.2.a.(7)(j). The locations have not yet been selected and must be selected and shown
on a campus map as part of the Final PUD Plan submittal.
(8) Is the development being properly integrated into development and circulation patterns
of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated
"pad" to adjoining development?
Yes. The 58-acre, single lot campus Site is intended to be a center for medical services for
Bozeman and the region. It will offer open space and trails to the public and is likely to office
“work force” housing within the campus. The campus will be integrated into the adjacent
residential and commercial neighborhoods by extension of the street and trail networks and is not
expected to become an isolated “campus”.
SECTION 6 - FINDINGS OF FACT, ORDER AND APPEAL PROVISIONS
A) PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Divisions 38.230, 38.430, BMC, and other applicable sections of
Chapter 38, BMC, public notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to
affected parties, and a review of the preliminary plan for the planned unit development
described in this findings of fact was conducted. The Applicant presented to the City a
proposed preliminary plan for a planned unit development to allow a mixed residential and
commercial development with relaxations to zoning regulations requested for residential land
uses, building heights, signage, block frontage standards, block size, streetlight coloring,
minimum and maximum parking standards and a request for concurrent construction. Nine
relaxations to City standards were proposed. The purposes of the preliminary PUD review
were to consider all relevant evidence relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other
purposes of Chapter 38, BMC; to evaluate the proposal against the criteria and standards of
Chapter 38 BMC; and to determine whether the P-PUD should be approved, conditionally
approved, or denied.
B) It appeared to the City Commission that all parties and the public wishing to examine the
proposed preliminary PUD and offer comment were given the opportunity to do so. After
receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies and considering all matters of
record presented with the application and during the public comment period defined by Chapter
38, BMC, the City Commission has found that the proposed preliminary plan of the PUD
would comply with the requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code if certain conditions

22244; Findings of Fact for the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P-PUD) application Page 20 of 22
were imposed. Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before them regarding
this application, the City Commission makes the following decision.
C) The preliminary PUD plan has been found to meet the criteria of Chapter 38, BMC, and is
therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed in Section 3 of this report and the correction
of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Chapter including those identified
in Section 4 of this report. The evidence contained in the submittal materials, advisory body
review, public testimony, and this report, justify the conditions imposed on this development
to ensure that the final site plan and subsequent construction complies with all applicable
regulations, and all applicable criteria of Chapter 38, BMC.
D) This City Commission order may be appealed by bringing an action in the Eighteenth District
Court of Gallatin County. The preliminary approval of this planned unit development shall be
effective for one (1) year from the date of the signed Findings of Fact and Order approval. At
the end of this period the City may, at the request of the developer, grant individual extensions
to its approval by the Community Development Director for a period of not more than six
months at a time consistent with the requirements of Section 38.230.

APPENDIX A –PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses: The property is zoned B-2, Community Business District
and is designated Regional Commercial and Service land use.
Community business district (B-2). The intent of the B-2 community business district is to provide for a
broad range of mutually supportive retail and service functions located in clustered areas bordered on one
or more sides by limited access arterial streets. Multi-household dwellings, townhouses, and apartments are
allowed as a secondary use due to their complementary nature and ability to enhance the walkability of
these districts. Design standards emphasizing pedestrian oriented design are important elements of this
district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes, and/or areas served by
transit.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation: The property is designated as Regional Commercial and
Service land use. Regionally significant developments in this land use category may be developed with
physically large and economically prominent facilities requiring substantial infrastructure and location near
significant transportation facilities. Due to the scale of these developments, location, and transition between
lower density uses is important. Residential space should be located above the first floor to maintain land
availability for necessary services. Development within this category needs well-integrated utilities,
transportation, and open space networks that encourage pedestrian activity and provide ready-access within
and adjacent to development. Large community scale areas in this land use category are generally 75 acres
or larger and are activity centers for several surrounding square miles. These are intended to service the
overall community as well as adjacent neighborhoods and are typically distributed by a one-to two-mile
separation.

Part 1 - PUD Information
Chapter 1
Background & Overview
[1.01] OVERVIEW AND HISTORY
In 2016 Billings Clinic purchased the property
near Interstate 90 with the vision of developing
a full-service medical campus to serve the
growing needs of Bozeman and Gallatin County.
Billings Clinic worked together with the city to
create a framework for this campus to support
essential and allied medical services alongside
complementary mixed-use, commercial, retail
and residential uses. These efforts have resulted
in an approved Master Site Plan, Infrastructure
Plans, and construction nearly complete for the
first phase. This initial phase includes a new
Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) and Ambulatory
Surgery Center (ASC) scheduled to open in 2022
and is designed to connect to and support future
uses as the campus master plan develops over
time.
The Billings Clinic Bozeman Campus Concept
PUD was approved on February 17, 2022 and
reviewed by the Community Development Board
on March 7, 2022. We are pleased now to submit
the Preliminary PUD documents for the campus.

LAND USES
The PUD property is Zoned B - 2. To the north of
the campus is Tract A - 1 (the existing Vanniman
residence), an undeveloped parcel zoned R -
5, East Valley Center Road, and Interstate 90.
Across Interstate 90 is the Municipal Waste
Water Treatment plant and some residential
development. To the south of the site is the
First Student bus depot on property owned by
the Bozeman School District zoned PLI. This
property is intended for the construction of a
public school. Also to the south of the campus
is the Cattail Lake residential subdivision and
Cattail Lake Public Park. These properties are
zoned R-4. Further south there is a mix of single
and multi-family residential and commercial uses
including the Costco and Target stores. These
properties carry a mix of R-1, R-2, B-1, and B-3
zoning. Davis Lane borders the west side of the
campus and across it is land in Gallatin County
that is in agricultural use. The map below depicts

[1.06] UTILITIES
A 12-inch water main runs in the right-of-way of
North 27th Avenue, extending to the southeast
corner of the campus. Water is provided to the
campus from this main with a combination of
12-inch and 16-inch water mains and currently
extends to connect with the existing 12-inch main
in Davis Lane. When future phases are built within
the campus, the water main within Wellness Way
will be extended south within Warbler Way once
that road is constructed. The line will then loop
to the east to connect with North 27th Avenue.
The Municipal Wastewater Treatment plant is
located across Interstate 90 to the north. Sanitary
sewer is proposed to flow off-site within Wellness
Way and Warbler Way to a gravity main in Davis
Lane that flows to the Davis Lane Lift Station and
then to the treatment plant. See the utility plan
for the current and proposed utilities.
Figure 3. Existing and Proposed Utilities.
Communications and other “dry” utilities will be
provided underground in easements outside
the public right-of-way within the campus.
Refuse pickup will be supported by the City of
Bozeman. Trash enclosures will be designed to
City of Bozeman standards with each phase of
new building construction.

Statement of Planning
Objectives
[2.01] IMPLEMENTATION OF
BOZEMAN GROWTH POLICY
The Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
PUD supports objectives within the Bozeman
2020 Community Plan:
Resiliency: The vision for the campus is to
provide a pedestrian-friendly destination medical
campus with character unique to Bozeman and
with the flexibility to adapt to the changing
needs of healthcare. The PUD structure allows
for development to occur over time - adapting to
the needs of the community while protecting and
honoring the natural and cultural resources within
and near the property.
City’s Complementary Districts: The Billings
Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus PUD provides
a framework to support the needs of the
community and of the growing Baxter/Cattail
District. It creates a gateway along I-90 north
of existing neighborhoods and helps to extend
multi-modal networks and open space/trail
connections through the district, and provides
missing utility and transportation infrastructure for
the area.
Natural Systems: The Billings Clinic Bozeman
Medical Campus PUD requires protection of the
adjacent natural wetland systems along Cattail
Lake, provides active open space areas, and
extends regional trail system connections through
the campus.
Accessibility and Mobility: As a medical campus,
accessibility and safety is a key focus of our
building, site and campus design. At the building
scale, ease of access for all mobilities, covered
drop-off areas, and convenient walk distances are
fundamental tenets to help Billings Clinic provide
excellent patient care and meet the unique
requirements for medical facilities. At the campus
scale, clear wayfinding, transit services, and
multi-modal connections provide for a safe and
efficient campus for patients, visitors and staff.
Economy: The Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus PUD supports the Regional Commercial
Services designation by providing a key
employment center along I-90 supporting the
growing need for healthcare in the region.
Regional Coordination: The Billings Clinic
Bozeman Medical Campus PUD supports
applicable regional plans and planned
development patterns, and provides key
infrastructure connections in the northwest
portion of the Bozeman community.

be needed for healthcare uses, and providing
needed transportation and utility connections
in the project area),
• ensuring adequate provision of public
utilities, open space and parks (by providing
utility infrastructure connections and
increased open space),
• avoiding inappropriate development of lands
(by providing for adequate storm drainage
infrastructure and protecting the nearby 100-
yr floodplain and adjacent wetlands),
• encouraging patterns of development
which decrease auto travel and encourage
trip consolidation (by creating a campus of
medical and allied services reducing the
number of trips for patients receiving care)
• promoting the use of bicycles and walking
as effective modes of transportation (the
campus provides for connected buildings with
distributed parking, small walkable blocks,
pedestrian connections and regional bike trail
connections)
• reducing energy consumption and demand
(through development standards requiring
LED site lighting and by allowing for a
campus of connect medical and allied
services supporting efficient use of medical
resources and reducing the number of trips
for patients receiving care)
• protecting the site’s natural resources and
special features
• creating a high-quality design character
through the use of Development Guidelines
for the campus,
• creating a compatible development fitting the
character of the area and the vision for the
I-90 area,
• providing a logical and compatible master
planned campus,
• promoting the efficient use of land resources
with Development Guidelines that allow for a
mix of uses
• protecting the public health, safety and
general welfare within the applicable charters,
regulations and growth policies
B. Compliance with PUD Design
Objectives (Sec38.430.090.E.)

flood hazard areas, natural gas, telephone, storm
drainage, cable television, and streets?
All services within the PUD conform to
the current building codes adopted by
the City of Bozeman building department.
Streets, curb and gutters have been
designed to meet the City Design
Standards. Trails, walks and bikeways meet
the City’s requirements. Future phases of
development are planned to comply with
these requirements.
2. Does the project preserve or replace
existing natural vegetation?
Natural vegetation within the PUD area is
limited to trees and shrubs along the Cattail
Creek drainage. The PUD preserves these
areas of vegetation within the wetland
boundary and wetland buffer areas.

3. Are the elements of the site plan
(e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and
landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to
produce an efficient, functionally organized and
cohesive planned unit development?
While the final land uses and building/site
configurations of the development phases
over time are not yet known, the approved
Master Site Plan outlines the vision for
a cohesive PUD that allows for safe and
efficient circulation while meeting the
unique needs of larger medical facilities and
supporting uses.
4. Does the design and arrangement
of elements of the site plan (e.g., building
construction, orientation, and placement;
transportation networks; selection and placement
of landscape materials; and/or use of renewable
energy sources; etc.) contribute to the overall
reduction of energy use by the project?
The Master Site Plan and the PUD provide
for a connected, walkable, campus to allow
for flexibility in the design and arrangement
of buildings to support reduction of vehicle
trips once the campus destination is
reached.
The Development Guidelines encourage
energy reduction measures by:
• Building design encouraging passive
solar techniques
• Use of xeriscape practices for irrigated
landscape areas, and use of low- or non-
irrigated seed areas in perimeter areas
with less public use to reduce irrigation
demand for the campus. Use of well water
for landscape irrigation where possible
to reduce demand on the City’s treated
potable water system.
All buildings will conform to the current City
of Bozeman energy conservation codes.
5. Are the elements of the site plan
(e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and
landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to
maximize the privacy of residents of the project?
There are no residential uses immediately
adjacent to or included within the project at
this time, but the Master Site Plan allows for
arrangement of site elements to maximize
privacy of any future residential uses if
developed within the PUD area.
6. Parkland. Does the design and
arrangement of buildings and open space areas
contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the
site configuration, and has the area of parkland
or open space been provided for each proposed
dwelling as required by section 38.420.020?
The PUD allows for but does not include any
dwelling units, but parkland requirements
can be met within the structure of the
PUD if residential uses are proposed in the
future.
C. Proposed Ownership
The PUD property is owned by and will be
developed by Billings Clinic. It is the intent of
Billings Clinic to improve the site as proposed
in the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
PUD plans. Future phases of the property may
be developed in partnership with other entities
or sold to users who will improve those lots for
their respective uses as defined in the PUD and
based on the Master Site Plan and Development
Guidelines.

[2.03] PERFORMANCE POINTS
All PUDs must earn at least 20 performance
points.
The following PUD performance points are
met (20 total points):
(b) Additional open space – 14 points
The PUD requires 5.86 acres of additional
Active Open Space area (11.2% additional).
See Part II - Section [3.05]

(j) Public transportation bus station or
enhanced covered bus stop (one point per
station or enhanced stop) – 2 points
Billings Clinic is coordinating with the
Director of the HRDC Streamline transit
program regarding future planned routes
in the area. The 2021 Transit Development
Plan indicates a planned Route F in this
area, and they also anticipate that a route
along Davis Lane may be needed in the
future. Billings Clinic is committed to
support the planned HRDC routes in this
area by providing two or more enhanced
covered bus stops within the PUD area
with final locations to be determined in
partnership with the HRDC.

[2.04] PROPOSED RELAXATIONS
The following lists twelve relaxations of the City
of Bozeman UDC requirements for the underlying
zoning classification at the Billings Clinic
Bozeman Medical Campus.
Relaxation 1: Additional Residential Uses
to allow for potential opportunities or
partnerships for housing.
Table 38.310.040.C restricting ground floor
residential as a Conditional Use and other types
of residential uses not permitted. ‘Hospital’ use is
not identified as a use.
This relaxation will allow:
• Additional housing types (Cottage housing,
single, two, three, and four household
dwellings as Permitted Uses)
• Will allow all types of residential uses
including ground floor residential
• Clarifies ‘Hospital’ as a Permitted Use
Justification:
By allowing additional housing types that are
restricted or not otherwise permitted in the B-2
zone district, the PUD provides more opportunity
to support a variety of housing types as part of
the planned medical campus than is otherwise
allowed.
Relaxation 2: Increased building height to
allow for the flexibility for multi-story flat-
roof buildings to support a walkable medical
campus.
Table 38.320.050 limits building height of
buildings with roof pitch <3:12 to 75’ within areas
designated as Regional Commercial and Services
growth areas. Multi-story medical facilities are
typically flat-roofed and have a taller floor-to-floor
height than other building types.
This relaxation will allow:
• 8 story buildings (or 151’ height ,
whichever is greater) in Zones B and D, and
• 6 story buildings (or 104’ height, whichever
is greater) in Zones A, C and G
Remaining Zones not indicated above will
be governed by the current B-2 zoning
requirements.
Justification:
Allowing the flexibility for taller building heights
in specified portions of the campus provides a
superior development over the UDC standard by:
• supporting the flexibility to provide multi-
story medical facilities that may require taller
floor-to-floor heights, and
• identifying the locations within the campus
for lower and higher building heights based
on land use.
Relaxation 3: Establish specific signage
allowances based on the defined wayfinding
plans instead of by lot.
Table 38.560.060 limits total signage maximum
area to 400 sq. ft. per lot
This relaxation will increase the sign
allowance for the PUD area to be regulated
by sign type and use type throughout the
campus as defined in the wayfinding sign
guidelines in Chapter 5 of the Master Plan and
Development Guidelines
Justification:
Medical campus wayfinding signage are
designed to assist patient and visitors to quickly
locate their destination. Medical structure
signage needs to be visible from major roadways
surrounding the campus and needs to be sized
for long distance viewing. Hospitals and medical
service structures will typically need signage
on 3-4 sides to maximize visibility, which helps
consumers find the facility. The current UDC
standard limits total signage area to 400 sq.
ft. per lot. As a 38-acre medical campus, this
allowance would not be sufficient to provide the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
14Preliminary PUD Application - Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
Part 1 - PUD Information
quantity and size of building signs needed to
identify medical structures providing emergency,
urgent care, and other medical services as well
as providing vehicular directional signage that
would help consumers find the correct entry and
service. By providing a relaxation for larger signs
for medical use structures, patients and visitors
will be able to find urgent care and emergency
services more quickly, especially from the
interstate and secondary perimeter roads, and
enhancing this campus as a community asset.
Relaxation 4: Increase Monument Sign
maximum size to improve campus
identification and navigation to medical
buildings from the interstate and surrounding
area.
Table 38.560.060 limits Monument sign maximum
height to 5’-0” and sign face area to 32 sq. ft.
This relaxation will allow up to 20’ height and
175 sq. ft. in sign area for Medical Campus
Monument Signage
Justification:
Medical campus wayfinding signage are
designed to assist patient and visitors to quickly
locate their destination. Medical structure
signage needs to be visible from major roadways
surrounding the campus and needs to be sized
for long distance viewing. Hospitals and medical
service structures will typically need signage
on 3-4 sides to maximize visibility, which helps
consumers find the facility. The current UDC
standard limits total signage area to 400 sq.
ft. per lot. As a 38-acre medical campus, this
allowance would not be sufficient to provide the
quantity and size of building signs needed to
identify medical structures providing emergency,
urgent care, and other medical services as well
as providing vehicular directional signage that
would help consumers find the correct entry and
service. By providing a relaxation for larger signs
for medical use structures, patients and visitors
will be able to find urgent care and emergency
services more quickly, especially from the
interstate and secondary perimeter roads, and
enhancing this campus as a community asset.
Relaxation 5: Increase Monument Sign
maximum height for non-medical buildings to
support a vibrant mix of businesses and uses
on the medical campus.
Table 38.560.060 limits Monument sign
maximum height to 5’-0”.
This relaxation will allow up to 8’ height for
non-medical buildings
Justification:
The wayfinding sign system provides visual
continuity throughout the campus for both
medical and non-medical uses. Increasing the
maximum height of these non-medical signs
allows for all signs to support the overall sign
system better than the UDC standard.
Relaxation 6: Increase wayfinding signage
height and quantity to improve visibility,
durability, and navigation throughout the
medical campus.
Section 38.560.070 limits wayfinding signage
to 7’ height (inclusive of the support base) and
quantity to one wayfinding sign per block face.
This relaxation will allow up to 9’ height with
2’ high masonry base and 100 ft. separation
between wayfinding signs
Justification:
Medical campus wayfinding signage are
designed to assist patient and visitors to quickly
locate their destination. Medical structure
signage needs to be visible from major roadways
surrounding the campus and needs to be sized
for long distance viewing. Hospitals and medical
service structures will typically need signage
on 3-4 sides to maximize visibility, which helps
consumers find the facility. The current UDC
standard limits total signage area to 400 sq.

ft. per lot. As a 38-acre medical campus, this
allowance would not be sufficient to provide the
quantity and size of building signs needed to
identify medical structures providing emergency,
urgent care, and other medical services as well
as providing vehicular directional signage that
would help consumers find the correct entry and
service. By providing a relaxation for larger signs
for medical use structures, patients and visitors
will be able to find urgent care and emergency
services more quickly, especially from the
interstate and secondary perimeter roads, and
enhancing this campus as a community asset.
Relaxation 7: Campus Style Streetlights
The City of Bozeman Design Standards
and Specifications Policy outlines Standard
Specifications for Lighting Materials and
Installation. In order to support the campus
design, we were allowed to use black street
light poles in Phase I. We would like to continue
the use of black street light poles to support a
consistent campus design.
This relaxation would allow the use of black
street light poles within the Billings Clinic PUD
area.
Jusification: Since black street light poles have
already been allowed in the PUD area, this
relaxation supports a consistent campus design
better than the current standard.
Relaxation 8: Parking Quantities
Table 38.540.050-3 and Sec. 38.540.050 establish
minimum and maximum Off-Street Parking
requirements based on building use. However,
there are only two types of medical-related uses
identified, Hospitals and Medical and Dental
Offices. In order to support the various types
of medical services that Billings Clinic plans to
offer in the campus, and to allow for the ability
to creatively use shared parking for varying uses
within the campus, we would like to allow each
building phase to identify the parking quantities
based on actual need and use.
This relaxation will allow for the off-street
parking quantities to be determined based
on the planned building use. A parking needs
assessment will be provided with the Site Plan
Review for each building phase to determine
the off-street parking to be provided.
Justification:
Since the UDC parking standards has limited
medical-related uses identified and this campus
is likely to include many types of medical uses,
allowing the parking requirements to be right-
sized based on building use would result in a
superior development over the UDC standard.
Relaxation 9: Parking Structure 1st floor use
Sec. 38.510.030.M requires that parking garages
that front streets must line the parking garage at
the street level with an active use, and to provide
a lining of retail, office, or residential use at the
street level along the entire street frontage. The
approved Master Site Plan indicates potential
locations for structured parking intended to serve
the higher intensity medical uses planned for the
campus. Providing a retail, office, or residential
use not associated with the medical uses may
not be feasible to support the needs of the
medical facilities. We would like to allow parking
structures to be exempt from this standard when
supporting a medical use.
This relaxation will allow parking structures
that front streets and support medical uses to
be developed without lining the structure with
retail, office or residential uses.
Justification:
The campus plan envisions structured parking
intended to serve the higher intensity medical
uses. Providing a retail, office, or residential use
not associated with the medical uses may not
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
16Preliminary PUD Application - Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
Part 1 - PUD Information
be feasible to support the needs of the medical
facilities. Allowing parking structures to be
exempt from from this standard when supporting
a medical use better supports the development
of a medical campus than the UDC standard.
Relaxation 10: Bicycle Parking Quantities
Sec. 38.540.050.A.4 requires the number of
bicycle parking spaces must be at least ten
percent of the number of the automobile parking
stall required by the Unified Development
Code. We would like to provide a more tailored
requirement for medical uses within the campus
relevant to these building and land uses.
This relaxation will allow reduced bicycle
parking requirements for medical uses within
the PUD area that provide separate staff and
visitor parking areas on their development
site. For these projects, the minimum required
bicycle parking spaces for the number of
automobile parking stalls shall be:
• 10% of the number of staff parking stalls,
and
• 2% of the number of patient/visitor parking
stalls
Justification:
The relaxation provides a more tailored
requirement for bicycle parking based on the
medical uses, staff, patients and visitors than the
UDC provides.
Relaxation 11: Block Frontage
Sec. 38.510.030 requires block frontage
standards addressing streetfront elements
including building location, parking lot location,
window transparency, weather protection and
landscaping. The Billings Clinic Medical Campus
consists of a single lot. This 58-acre lot is planned
for multiple phases of development and is
envisioned with the Approved Master Site Plan.
This code section generally relates to
development of individual buildings on individual
lots and did not envision the development of
a large medical campus. This plan indicates
likely locations for future Public Streets and
Private Drives where Mixed-Use Block Frontage
will apply if land uses with smaller, individual
buildings may be proposed. However, in Areas
C and D larger medical facilities are anticipated.
These uses are also allowed in all areas within the
PUD.
These facilities have specific requirements and
needs to support these services including:
• Larger, physically connected buildings to
support integrated care
• Patient entrances to buildings that must be
set back from the street to allow for required
covered drop-offs and nearby accessible
parking to accommodate patients with
varying mobility
• Intentional separation of patient/visitor/staff/
service/emergency uses, access and parking
for staff and patient safety
• Parking distributed around all sides of
buildings to access the above multiple
building entrances for clear and direct patient
access
This relaxation will allow building and parking
locations within the PUD to be located
based on the needs for the buildings and
to be exempt from the requirements of Sec
38.510.030. As was achieved in the initial
phase, private access drives to building
entrances will incorporate characteristics
of a pedestrian-oriented street (including
weather protection, façade transparency,
wider sidewalks) where feasible but the unique
medical requirements for buildings in these
areas will prevail.
Where adjacent to Public Streets, building
facade transparency will meet requirements of
Section 38.510.030 of the Bozeman Municipal
Code, except where the uses within these
portions of the building require solid walls for
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D73A5A9-3C92-4DA8-BEA5-DABDD91B4C33
17Preliminary PUD Application - Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
Part 1 - PUD Information
safety, privacy, or medical functions. These areas
where vision glass is not possible will be exempt
from the facade transparency requirements, but
will incorporate landscape planting beds with
evergreen plant materials to buffer and add visual
interest at a pedestrian scale to mitigate impacts
of blank walls.
Justification:
This relaxation provides superior development of a
medical campus than the UDC as it better supports
the development of medical uses within the campus
which are likely to include:
• larger, physically connected buildings,
• covered patient drop-off zones with close in
accessible parking, and
• separation of patient/visitor/staff/service/
emergency access and parking for staff and
patient safety.
Relaxation 12: Block Length and Width
Sec 38.410.040 requires blocks 300-400 feet
in length and 200 feet in width. Based on the
requirements described above for larger medical
facilities and as indicated on the Approved Master
Site Plan, larger block areas will be allowed within
the PUD to support the ability to create a connected
campus of buildings.
This relaxation will allow for larger parcels within
the PUD campus area to support flexibility to
provide larger, connected medical facilities.
As such the PUD shall be exempt from the
requirements of Sec 38.410.040 and will be based
on the approved infrastructure plans for the
campus.
Justification:
These larger block areas indicated in the Master
Site Plan better support the ability to provide a
connected campus of buildings than the UDC
standard.

Project Overview
[1.01] OVERVIEW
The Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
will provide for essential and allied medical
services while incorporating complementary
mixed-use commercial, retail, and residential
programming to honor the city’s motto of being
“the most livable place.” It will be designed as
a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use campus with a
healthcare focus. Key design features prioritize
safety, wayfinding, accessibility, walkability, and
connections to public transportation.
Open space networks will provide access to
natural features and trail connections envisioned
in Bozeman’s Parks, Recreation, Open Space
and Trails Plan will extend through the campus
providing key connections and access to the
greater Gallatin Valley trail system.
Billings Clinic’s Guiding Principles will direct the
design of medical services within the campus
to provide the community with high-quality and
compassion healthcare. These principles include:
• Design for Safety
• Design for Clinical Excellence
• Design for Patient / Staff / Physician
Experience
• Design for Integrated Delivery
• Design for Strategic Innovation and Growth
• Design for Stewardship
[1.02] INTENT OF DEVELOPMENT
GUIDELINES
In addition to the Ambulatory Care Center and
Ambulatory Surgery Center buildings, currently
under construction, there are planned expansions
and new facilities illustrated conceptually in the
approved Master Site Plan. The intent of these
guidelines is to establish a framework upon which
new development may be based to create a
cohesive medical campus.
The intent of these guidelines is not to propose
final design solutions, rather it is to establish a
basis for creating buildings and site development
that respond to the vision set forth by Billings
Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus PUD.

[1.04] PROJECT USES (ALLOWED,
ANTICIPATED)
Permitted Uses
The development is envisioned as a pedestrian-
friendly mixed-use campus with a healthcare
focus. It will provide a mix of uses to allow for
nearby services and housing to support the
needs of staff, patients and families.
The Bozeman Growth Policy identifies the future
land use of the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus as Regional Commercial and Services.
Defined as an area for uses providing services to
Bozeman, as well as the surrounding region, this
land use is consistent with uses allowed under
the B-2 Zoning designation.
To support the development as a medical
campus and to allow for potential opportunities
for housing, the following additional uses will be
permitted:
• Cottage housing (in Areas A, B, F, and G)
• Single, two, three and four household
dwellings (in Areas A, B, F, and G)
• Ground floor residential (in all Areas)
• Hospitals, Labs, Medical Office, Outpatient
Surgery Centers (in all Areas)
All uses allowed or conditionally allowed under
B-2 zoning will be allowed or conditionally
allowed in the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus PUD. This includes B-2 zoning at the
time of approval and any expanded B-2 uses that
are approved by the City of Bozeman.

Development Guidelines
Anticipated Uses
The Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
anticipates a twenty-year phased development,
so final land uses have not yet been determined.
While initial phases will likely focus on medical
uses to respond to current Bozeman community
needs, other supporting uses are anticipated to
follow in later phases over time based on market
demands.
The initial phase within Zone C, approved in
2020 and scheduled to open in 2022 includes
an Ambulatory Destination Center including
medical office, urgent care and an outpatient
surgery center. The next phases anticipated will
further develop medical uses within the campus
with expanded ambulatory and medical facilities
anticipated primarily, but not limited to, Zone D.
[1.05] PHASING
The Billings Clinic medical campus is planned
to be developed over the next twenty years.
The first phase of development includes a new
130,000 square foot Ambulatory Destination
Center on approximately eight acres, including
a three-story building housing a multi-specialty
physician group practice, urgent care, and an
adjacent one-story outpatient surgery center.
Construction of these buildings is in progress
with an anticipated completion in fall of 2022. In
conjunction with the development of Phase 1,
infrastructure improvements including internal
public streets, and water and sewer mains
were completed in the spring of 2022 with
final closeout scheduled to occur in summer/
fall of 2022. The public development to-date
provides roadway access and access to public
utilities for the existing structures as well as future
construction, but additional public streets, water,
and sewer mains will be required as additional
phases of the project are proposed.
Since the sequencing of future phases is
unknown and will be based on market demands,
we are instead identifying infrastructure that will
be required for each development area within
the campus.
The Phasing Plans identifies the main zones of
the campus and estimate which public roadways
and utilities will be required as part of the
development. Future construction will further
develop the medical campus with ambulatory
and inpatient facilities and associated ancillary
medical uses. Billings Clinic is dedicated to
the future of this campus and will provide the
necessary public roadways and utilities necessary
to support the future development phases.

[2.04] BUILDING AND PARKING
LOCATIONS
Conceptual locations for buildings, parking, and
circulation are indicated on the Master Site Plan.
Covered patient drop-off areas are indicated at
visitor entrances to medical buildings. Emergency
services, access to service and loading areas,
and staff parking areas are separated from visitor
parking areas.
In the mixed-use zones, a more traditional
building and block pattern is anticipated with
parking areas to the rear and side of street-facing
buildings.
[2.05] PARKING
The intent of this section is to provide an
adequate number of parking spaces to
serve the building uses within the PUD area
without creating negative impacts on nearby
neighborhoods. In order to support the various
types of medical services that Billings Clinic plans
to offer in the campus, and to allow for the ability
to creatively use shared parking for varying uses
within the campus, each building phase shall
be allowed to identify their parking quantities
(if different than BMC Sec. 38.540.050 parking
quantity requirements) based on actual building
need and use. A parking needs assessment will
be provided with the Site Plan Review for each
building phase to determine the off-street
parking to be provided.
B-2 Zoning allows for both surface parking
lots and structures for vehicular parking. It is
important with medical uses to have accessible
parking and drop-off areas located as close
to primary building entrances as possible. To
achieve this a variety of parking solutions may be
needed. Detailed parking configurations will be
developed with each building phase.
Parking options may include:
• Surface parking lots
• Structured parking
• On-street parking
Design of off-street parking areas shall include
considerations for snow removal and snow
storage.
[2.06] OPEN SPACE NETWORK
This PUD supports the 2007 PROST plan and
envisions connecting to this regional system.
Open space areas will connect to the adjacent
Cattail Lake Park and open space network to the
south of the campus. Active open space areas
shall be incorporated into the site design for each
phase based on the Open Space Diagram.

[2.08] SITE GRADING AND
DRAINAGE
The west and east portions of the site drain
in different directions. The western half of the
site generally slopes to the northwest and the
eastern half of the site generally slopes to the
northeast. The drainage for the infrastructure
that has currently been constructed has been
managed in accordance with the City of Bozeman
requirements. It generally consists of storm drain
pipe and a combination of surface ponds and
sub-surface boulder pit systems. Future phases
will continue to be managed in accordance with
the City of Bozeman requirements and is planned
to be discharged to historic drainage ways at or
below predeveloped flowrates.
[2.09] UTILITIES, COMMUNICATION,
AND REFUSE
A 12-inch water main runs in the right-of-way of
North 27th Avenue, extending to the southeast
corner of the campus. Water is provided to the
campus from this main with a combination of
12-inch and 16-inch water mains and currently
extends to connect with the existing 12-inch main
in Davis Lane. When future phases are built within
the campus, the water main within Wellness Way
will be extended south within Warbler Way once
that road is constructed. The line will then loop to
the east to connect with North 27th Avenue. The
Municipal Wastewater Treatment plant is located
across Interstate 90 to the north. Sanitary sewer
is proposed to flow off-site within Wellness Way
and Warbler Way to a gravity main in Davis Lane
that flows to the Davis Lane Lift Station and then
to the treatment plant. See the utility plan for the
current and proposed utilities.
Communications and other “dry” utilities will be
provided underground in easements outside the
public right-of-way within the campus. Refuse
pickup will be supported by the City of Bozeman.
Trash enclosures will be designed to City of
Bozeman standards with each phase of new
building construction.

LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES
[3.01] OVERVIEW
The intent of the landscape design guidelines is
to support a cohesive approach to the campus
design, to encourage sustainable design that is
complimentary to the natural environment of the
region and to support the medical campus needs
for safety, patient comfort, and staff respite.
These guidelines provide: the buffering of
properties from wind and snow; the screening of
parking from residences and pedestrian areas; the
enhancement of entry areas to the development
and to individual buildings; the conservation of
water and the use of native or adapted plant
species; and other landscape design techniques
with the goal of creating a unique and inviting
environment.
[3.02] GENERAL LANDSCAPE
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Utilize xeriscape practices including:
1. Incorporate the use of an efficient irrigation
system and provide irrigation zones for turf
areas separately from other plantings.
2. Avoid irrigating between 10am and 6pm when
possible to reduce water loss to evaporation.
3. Utilize weather-based irrigation controllers.
4. Reduce the amount of manicured turf areas
by using in more public areas and street
parkways. Open space areas and outlying
areas with less public use should incorporate
landscapes with reduced irrigation and
maintenance needs where feasible.

[3.04] OPEN SPACE
Open space areas throughout the campus are
a key feature supporting the building uses and
connections to the community. Open space areas
should create distinctive settings supporting their
adjacent building uses (healing gardens, respite
areas for staff and visitors, plazas, paths/trails,
access to nature, multi-use community) while
maintaining a consistent visual character for the
campus.
The open space areas indicated on the Open
Space Diagram represent the conceptual
locations for Active Open Space areas for the
campus and may vary in configuration and
location. However, they represent the minimum
amount of open space areas required for the
campus and should designed to be open and
available for use by visitors to the campus.
See Open Space Diagram Section 2.07 for
locations of designated Active Open Space
Areas.

[3.05] PUBLIC ART
The use of public art within pedestrian plazas,
open space, along trails and pedestrian corridors,
and near buildings is encouraged. Art may
also be directly integrated into the design of a
building.
Locations where art may be viewed from
pedestrian and vehicular circulation routes should
be given priority. The placement of public art
shall be coordinated with the development of
open spaces, trails, and plazas. All public art must
be submitted for review and approval by Billings
Clinic prior to installation.
[3.06] MAINTENANCE
The Billings Clinic shall contract landscape
maintenance service for all of the developments
within the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus PUD area. Any future phases developed
in partnership with other entities or sold to other
users shall obtain approval from Billings Clinic
for any change to the overall campus landscape
maintenance services provided.

Chapter 4
Building Guidelines
Note: Where the Design Guidelines are “silent,”
the standards of the Bozeman Municipal Code
in effect at the time of a permit application shall
apply.
[4.01] BUILDING DESIGN
OBJECTIVES
In addition to The Billings Clinic Bozeman
Medical Campus’ over-arching design objectives,
the following building design objectives should
respond to and be influenced by the different
zones on the site to which they are oriented. The
three zones of influence identified on the Billings
Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus are the Medical
Core, Community, and Nature.
Medical Core
The Medical Core zone of influence is the heart
and patient services core of the campus. This
zone serves as the hub, signified by the traffic
roundabout from which all other circulation on
campus culminates. This zone is designed to
enhance the patient experience, giving clear
visibility of covered vehicle drop-off areas and
pedestrian entries to each of the major medical
facilities. Building facades should be more
transparent on all floors within this zone, both to
clearly identify the main building entries as well
as to reveal the healing programs within. This
zone should also strive to incorporate a clear
separation between on-stage (patient-facing)
and off-stage (service/loading) functions of each
respective building.
Community
The Community zone of influence encompasses
buildings and facades that are visible from
outside of the campus from the surrounding
streets and highways, and also the buildings
along major internal roadways. These buildings
influence the visitor experience and help establish
the overall feel of the campus when approaching
the center. Those visible from the highway should
convey the character of the campus and may
take greater care for visual interest on the higher
floors that are more visible. Similar to how the
Ambulatory Care Center provides a campus
identification opportunity toward the highway
with a more expressive architectural façade and
Billings Clinic signage.
Nature
The buildings in this zone should take advantage
of their connection to the adjacent natural areas.
The interstitial space between buildings should
be an extension and transition from the informal
outdoor space to more formal, with areas of
passage and pause that are created with outdoor
program, vegetation, and landscape architecture.
Functionally, these spaces may provide active
gathering space, as well as quieter individual
seating. This sets the framework for a symbiotic
relationship between buildings and nature.
Buildings create opportunities for framing spaces
and vistas as well as creating views from inside
out. Additional references for open space can
be found in the Code of Ordinances Section
38.520.060. - On-site residential and commercial
open space.
Gateways & Landmark Buildings
The gateway and landmark building facades
that frame the campus entrances should be
treated with the greatest level of finish and
care. The gateways should be marked with a
landmark signage/tower signaling the arrival to
the campus core as well as setting a geographic
point of reference. Additional references for
the architectural treatment of gateways can be
found in the Bozeman Municipal Code Section
38.530.050, Section C - High visibility street
corner and gateway sites.
The medical core is a series of free-standing
landmark structures that anchor the center of
gravity for the campus.

41Preliminary PUD Application - Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
Part 2 - Master Plan and
Development Guidelines
Parking/Service Buildings
Parking/Service buildings should utilize the
standard palette of materials and colors
recommended in these guidelines for consistency,
but may have more of a utilitarian nature to
massing and programmatic use. The form follows
the functions of these buildings and structures.
Additional references for mechanical and service
areas can be found in the Bozeman Municipal
Code Sec. 38.520.070. - Location and design of
service areas and mechanical equipment.
All Other Buildings
The remaining buildings may be reconfigured
in a multitude of ways. They should serve as the
“background” buildings on the campus, that
neither call attention to themselves nor ignore
these guidelines. But rather, contribute to the
overall fabric of the campus striving to meet the
city’s motto of being “the most livable place.”
These buildings could also have uses to benefit
the campus and larger community. By having
higher activity on the ground floor through retail
and pedestrian access, they can serve as a shared
link between all buildings on campus.

[4.02] DIMENSIONAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Form and Scale
Building scale guidelines have been established
to be appropriate for program use and campus
zone. The scale of the building massing should
be broken down further at the entry facades, first
floor pedestrian areas, and above with purposeful
wall offsets, awnings, arcades, and canopies.
New building forms should be primarily
horizontal. Any vertical elements should be
reserved for gateway and/or landmark buildings
on campus.
Roof lines should be consistent and relatively
uniform, maintaining simplicity of to contrast both
the landmark vertical elements and the mountain
skyline beyond.
Connection Between Buildings
Wherever possible, care should be given to
identify opportunities for building features or
access points to relate to one another, in turn
making connections between the buildings.
This will also serve to promote a more walkable
campus by giving building occupants the ability
to traverse from building to building. Buildings
should relate to each other through sight lines,
landscape architecture, and entry points. Covered
connections between buildings are encouraged,
as well as shared outdoor activity space.
Building Heights
All building heights outside of the zones
requesting relaxation shall conform to City
of Bozeman Unified Development Section
38.530.040. - Building massing and articulation.

Development Guidelines
[4.03] PROGRAMMATIC
CONSIDERATIONS
Building Entry Definition
Buildings on campus should be inspired by
simplicity of form and large planar gestures
common in the “Mountain Modern” design
aesthetic. However, as one approaches the
building, elements should transition in scale and
level of articulation so they respond to pedestrian
interaction. Subtractive and additive elements of
the building form should be composed to create
emphasis on important pedestrian areas such as
building entries.
A key component of breaking down the
building massing will be the entry definition.
Building architecture should be aesthetically
legible to clearly identify entry points as well
as main pedestrian circulation paths. This
supports goals of accessibility and wayfinding
that were important to the campus plan. The
base of the building should also be detailed to
support pedestrian movement and connections
between campus spaces. In addition to the
building design, special care should be given
on the pedestrian path from parking to building
entry. Building overhangs should be created to
safeguard pedestrians from inclement weather
that lead to larger porch entry areas on the
campus core.
Hierarchy
Buildings encouraged to be designed with a
clear base, middle, and top in an architectural
composition. This classic approach to façade
composition helps to unify the campus
architecture and lends legibility to the use of
each level. Distinguishing the base responds to
the ground condition and is scaled and detailed
for appreciation by pedestrians. The body of the
building and façade may vary in materiality based
on the environmental factors and site influences
identified in the Zone of Influence Diagram,
Figure 4.1. The top terminates the building at the
sky with a strong roof form, or special building
element.
Solidity & Transparency
All buildings will have a variety of materials that
create transparency, translucency, and solidity or
layering of exterior materials. All façade surfaces
should have greater material articulation that
break down the façade and there should not
be any large expanses of monolithic material
applications. The ground level facades that
front public/pedestrian ways should be most
transparent. Facades that require less views out
or visibility of activities within, may have greater
solidity. The degree of transparency should
also be optimized for solar orientation, with
consideration of high heat and glare exposures.
Where adjacent to Public Streets, building
facade transparency will meet requirements of
Section 38.510.030 of the Bozeman Municipal
Code, except where the uses within these
portions of the building require solid walls for
safety, privacy, or medical functions. These areas

where vision glass is not possible will be exempt
from the facade transparency requirements, but
will incorporate landscape planting beds with
evergreen plant materials to buffer and add visual
interest at a pedestrian scale to mitigate impacts
of blank walls.
All building articulation, entry definition,
and window placement shall conform to City
of Bozeman Unified Development Section
38.530.040. - Building massing and articulation
and Section 38.530.050. - Building details.
Mechanical Equipment & Utilities
All mechanical equipment and utilities visible
from public ways must be screened. The following
guidelines apply to screening.
1. If feasible, building service areas and
mechanical equipment should be integrated
into the overall building design such that it is
not visible from a public way.
2. Screening should use elements, materials, and
forms compatible with the building design
and shall be compliant with all guidelines
pertaining to building design described
herein.
3. Screening shall be as required by the City of
Bozeman’s Unified Development Code.

Part 2 - Master Plan and
Development Guidelines
[4.04] BUILDING EXTERIORS
Building materials should exude the context
in which they are placed. An audit of the local
community suggests that the natural geology
and landscape have influenced the surrounding
architecture. Buildings tend to be lower in scale,
built to resist the harsh climate, and maximize
views to the mountains. Stone walls, dark-framed
glass, and native wood accents are prevalent.
The region prides itself on a rich history of living
within the landscape. Finding ways in which to
utilize modern materials while respecting the
region’s heritage is highly encouraged. This
“mountain modern” aesthetic sets the building
character to be emulated and complemented
throughout the campus.
Honesty in materials will help the campus to
reflect its connection to the natural setting.
Real wood, transparent glass, metal panels that
are either natural finishes or coated to replicate
natural finishes such as bronze, zinc, copper, etc.,
will be used.
Masonry/Precast Concrete
Masonry units and natural stone should
contribute to a warm but neutral aesthetic for
the campus. This allows for adequate contrast
with the glass and metal components of the
building. Masonry elements should incorporate
earth tones that are complementary to their
surroundings while being durable. A preference
should be given to masonry units that have
a variegated tone, versus a more monolithic
aesthetic. The use of a darker accent is
acceptable but should be limited to account for
approximately 10-15% of the total material on any
given building facade.
Preference should be given to darker mortar
tints, allowing the texture of the units to be
emphasized, while not contrasting.
Metals
Where metal panels are used, coloring should
complement the warmth of the masonry. A
preference toward darker metal tones that align
with the aluminum glazing system framing would
be given (Refer to Transparency Section). Two or
three coats Mica finishes are preferred, as they
will give more depth in material in addition to
more closely resembling their substrate material
properties.
Glazing
A range of glazing options and manufacturers
can be explored but highly reflective or tinted
glass is not recommended. Glazing should
be selected to maximize performance (Solar
Heat Gain Coefficient and U-Value), highlight
activities within the building, views out, and
maximize daylighting in interior spaces (Visible
Light Transmission), For areas that desire to be
highlighted from exterior and/or don’t require
higher solar performance, use of a double-silver
coating on low-iron substrate is recommended.
For areas that require a higher solar performance
use of a triple-silver coating on low-iron
substrate is recommended. Where glazing is
predominantly shaded throughout the cooling
season, under deep overhangs for example, high
transparency single-silver coatings on low-iron
substrate can be used as long as envelope trade-
off or whole building energy model compliance is
achieved. For further performance incorporation
of shading attachments, interlayers, or frit
patterns can be explored but should be
incorporated in a manner that minimizes their
visual impact.

49Preliminary PUD Application - Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
Part 2 - Master Plan and
Development Guidelines
Spandrel
For sections of glazing that need to obscure
plenum space, but the continuity of the glass
facade is desired, a dark warm gray is suggested
for the spandrel panels. The intent should be to
make the spandrel panel be as visually seamless
to the transparent vision panels as possible, in
most daylighting conditions.
Aluminum Framing
It is recommended that darker, neutral, warm
grays/metallics be used for the aluminum framing
systems used to support the glazing units. This
strategy allows the framing to be less visible from
the interior, allowing occupants to view outside
more clearly, past the framing.
Wood Paneling/Accents
Wood is a suitable material on campus as it will
help tie the lighter neutrals of the masonry stone
to the darker metal elements. Additionally, it can
bring warmth and texture to a pedestrian zone--
such as a canopy soffit or siding accent. Medium
tone wood species such as Ash, Walnut, Oak, or
Hickory are the most suitable.
Solar Shading
Encourage solar analysis to be employed to find
the optimal shading strategy for each facade
that utilizes large sections of curtain wall or
storefront glazing. Solar shading elements should
complement both the aluminum glazing system
framing as well as any building metal panels.
All building materials shall conform to City of
Bozeman Unified Development Code Section
38.530.060. - Building materials and Section
38.530.070. - Blank wall treatments.

[4.05] BUILDING LIGHTING
Site lighting at pedestrian and vehicular ways and
parking areas is addressed in Section 2.12 Site
Lighting. Lighting guidelines specific to signs are
described in the Section 5.01 Exterior Signage
and Section 4.06 Building Signage.
The following guidelines pertain to architectural
lighting on the exterior of buildings:
1. Exterior architectural lighting is encouraged
but should be judiciously used in select
locations. Exterior architectural lighting should
be primarily used to accent building entries.
2. Light fixtures should be simple, functional
and industrial in character. Recessed linear or
can fixtures are encouraged. Decorative light
fixtures should be used selectively in limited
locations such as building entrances.
3. The following lighting types are permitted
with approximate 3000k color temperature:
• Halogen
• Metal Halide which has appropriate color
rendering characteristics
• Compact Fluorescent which has
appropriate color rendering
characteristics.
• LED
4. The following lighting types are not
permitted:
• Incandescent
• Colored Lamps
• Mercury vapor or High Pressure Sodium
Lamps
• Any type of moving or flashing lighting
5. Exposed neon tube or LED string lighting
must be approved by Billings Clinic
Leadership. Neon tube or LED string lighting
may not be used as intense visual element
for advertising or other purposes. Neon tube
or LED string lighting may be used as subtle
recessed or concealed light element.
6. All building lighting shall conform to City
of Bozeman Unified Development Code
requirements and shall meet the cut-off shield
requirements outlined therein.

SIGNAGE
[5.01] WAYFINDING STRATEGY
Wayfinding is an important element of campus
design. Billings Clinic’s operation of medical
campuses throughout the region, as well as the
experience of healthcare facilities nationwide,
demonstrate the importance of creating an area
that is easy to navigate in stressful situations.
Patients and visitors to a medical campus need
to be able to easily and conveniently locate,
identify, and find their way to the various services
offered. The multiple buildings associated with a
medical campus, the needs and abilities of those
seeking medical and emergency services, and the
diversification of services offered within a medical
campus create a need for establishing clear and
visible wayfinding and informational signage.
The goals of the wayfinding approach are to help
keep consumers oriented and informed, and to
make the experience as positive and stress-free as
possible.
The Billings Clinic medical campus employs
a landmark-based wayfinding approach,
augmented with explicit, written information
(directional signs) where detail is needed.
[5.02] MEDICAL CORE
• Building Identification signage is positioned
for maximum visibility from Interstate 90 and
roadways surrounding the campus and is
integrated with the architectural design of the
building. “Billings Clinic” the health provider
name and logomark are positioned near the top
of the building (in the most prominent location).
• Monument signage will be located at primary
entry points indicating availability of emergency
services.
• Vehicular and pedestrian directional signage
to buildings and services will be positioned at
decision-making points to help guide consumers
to specific buildings and services (Hospital,
Urgent Care, Surgery, Clinic, future destinations,
greenway trail paths, etc.)
• Identification of buildings and services is
reinforced at Building Entries where illuminated
letter signs are mounted to the front of entry
canopies for visibility to consumers once they
arrive on campus.
Material and colors complementary to the
architectural and landscape design will be
incorporated and carried through the entire
signage family. Consistent representation of
the Billings Clinic brand including typefaces,
colors, and treatment of logos will be followed.
See Figure 5.1 for illustrations and examples of
planned sign designs.

[5.03] EXTERIOR SIGNAGE
General design criteria for exterior signage
includes the following:
1. The design of all signs should be compatible
with the Billing Clinic Bozeman Medical
Campus’ over-arching design guidelines.
Material and colors complementary to the
architectural and landscape design will be
incorporated and carried through the entire
signage family. Consistent representation
of the brand elements including typefaces,
colors, and treatment of logos will be
followed. See Figure 5.1 for illustrations and
examples of planned sign designs.
2. All signs must comply with the with the
Campus’ Design Guidelines and the City
of Bozeman’s Unified Development Code
requirements for this medical campus district
with exceptions outlined in Section 5.07
3. The following sign materials are encouraged:
• Durable and weather-proof wood-like
accents in medium tone wood species
• Light, natural stone and earth-toned
masonry elements
• Metals complementary to the warmth of
the masonry
• Aluminum and acrylic sign material in
appropriate colors and thicknesses
4. Signage must be of quality construction.
Concealed fasteners and attachments are
encouraged.
5. Illumination.
A. External illumination. Externally
illuminated signs shall have lighting
confined to the sign and shall be
positioned and shielded to minimize
impacts to the surrounding area(s).
B. Internal illumination.
• Internally illuminated signs, including
neon lighting, must be static in intensity
and color.
• The light source for internally
illuminated signs must be entirely
enclosed within the sign.

[5.04] SIGNAGE LOCATION /
WAYFINDING PLAN
The request for relaxation of the signage design
requirements of UDC Division 38.560 Signs, is
intended to promote the public safety, welfare,
convenience, enjoyment of travel, and free-
flow of traffic both to and within the medical
campus. Signage designed and engineered
for public safety and convenience as well as
pleasing aesthetics will benefit the campus and
community.
Because the campus is designed with multiple
buildings across several zones on the lot,
relaxation is requested from Section 38.560.060
– Signs Permitted within the B-2 District, wherein
signage allowances are designated on a per lot
basis.
The PUD requests that signage be defined for
the Billings Clinic Bozeman Medical Campus
by use and sign type across the entire campus.
Preliminary sign types are mapped in Figure 5.2
below.
[5.05] SIGNAGE PERMITTED UPON

AND REQUIREMENTS
1. Intent and Process
The PUD property is owned by and will be
developed by Billings Clinic. It is the intent that
Billings Clinic Leadership, specifically the Vice
President of Facility Services (or equal) on behalf
of the CEO of Billings Clinic, will be the applicant
on all planned development within the campus.
If any future development phases are developed
in partnership with other entities or sold to users
who will improve those lots for their respective
uses, Billings Clinic shall review development
plans prior to any submittals to the City of
Bozeman to ensure compliance with the PUD
Master Plan and Development Guidelines.
In addition to Billings Clinic review and approval,
all proposed development is required to undergo
City of Bozeman Department of Community
Development review per the City of Bozeman
Unified Development Code. Any applications
to the City of Bozeman for Site Plan Review
or Building Permit shall either include Billings
Clinic as the applicant or shall include a letter
of approval from Billings Clinic indicating
compliance with the Master Site Plan and
Development Guidelines.
The intent of the Development Guidelines is to
build upon and modify the Unified Development
Code Article 5 standards to establish a framework
to structure the campus character including
access and circulation, sign system, building
character and open space framework.
The Development Guidelines are established
and enforced by Billings Clinic. Except for those
Development Guidelines required as a condition
of PUD approval, the Development Guidelines
shall not be binding upon Billings Clinic and
shall not constitute in every event the basis for a
recommendation of approval or disapproval of
plans, specifications, or other materials submitted
to Billings Clinic for review.
Billings Clinic will be the interpreter of the
Development Guidelines and their decisions in
matters relating to the Development Guidelines
shall be final.
The Development Guidelines may be amended
from time to time by Billings Clinic. However, if a
guideline proposed for amendment was required
as a condition of PUD approval the City of
Bozeman must approve the amendment before
it is effective. No improvements constructed
in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by Billings Clinic shall be required to be
changed because such standards are thereafter
amended.
