Memorandum
REPORT TO:Sustainability Board
FROM:Jon Henderson, Strategic Services Director
SUBJECT:Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul Work Session #3.
MEETING DATE:December 14, 2022
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul Work Session #3.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:Resolution 5368 adopts the Unified Development Code (UDC) Overhaul as a
City Commission priority for 2022-2023, also listed in the Sustainability
Citizen Advisory Board's adopted Work Plan. The UDC Overhaul will adopt
changes to the Unified Development Code that facilitate increased housing
density, housing affordability, climate action plan objectives, sustainable
building practices, and a transparent, predictable and understandable
development review process.
The UDC Overhaul aims to implement the vision and goals established in the
City's guiding documents such as the Community Plan, the Climate Plan, and
strategic priorities like affordable housing. Throughout the project residents,
developers, builders, and the community at large will be consulted on
specific topics relevant to how different people interact with the code.
Specific focus areas will include:
Formatting and organization of the UDC
Zoning Districts
Sustainability
Parking
Park Standards
Transportation
On July 13, 2022 the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board received a
presentation from Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager,
introducing the UDC in an effort to orient the Board on items that fall within
objectives of the Climate Plan.

On August 10, 2022 the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board received a
presentation from Natalie Meyer, Sustainability Program Manager, further
defining the overhaul process and priorities related to sustainability.
On November 15, 2022 the City Commission received a presentation (and
staff memo) from Jennifer Gardner of Logan Simpson, assessing potential
sustainability elements to be included in the UCD Overhaul, as well as level
of desired regulation for each element, as follows:
Requirements for EV charging in new developments
The City's approach to regulating urban agriculture (both residential
and larger-scale commercial operations)
The sale of home-grown and home-produced agricultural products
The City Commission provided the following guidance to the project team:
Aim high for EV-charging requirements - pursue options that
encourage more "EV-ready" and installed solutions, as opposed to
"EV-capable"
Allow for height encroachments for rooftop greenhouses
Allow for development of context-sensitive urban agriculture in
commercial zones
Consider more thoroughly the impacts of allowing sales of home-
based agricultural goods in residential zones
On December 1, 2022 a "Code Connect" meeting was held to provide
addition opportunities for the community to learn about the UDC Overhaul
and gather input on proposed approaches specific to sustainability.
Jennifer Gardner, Senior Associate of Community Planning and Code with
Logan Simpson, will provide a brief presentation to the Sustainability Citizen
Advisory Board regarding feedback received from the City Commission, and
receive input from the Board as it relates to areas of the UDC Overhaul that
align with the Climate Plan. Board members should come prepared to
discuss topics that will help achieve the City's climate goals. It is anticipated
that the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board will provide a formal
recommendation to the City Commission at a future date.
Additional information about the UDC Overhaul can be found on the City's
Engage Bozeman Platform.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Sustainability Citizen Advisory Board.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None.
