Memorandum
REPORT TO:Economic Vitality Board
FROM:Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Assistant Director, Community Development
Anna Bentley, Director, Community Development
SUBJECT:Discussion With Economic Vitality Board Regarding Potential Parking
Changes to Chapter 38, Article 5, Division 540, Unified Development Code as
Part of the Unified Development Code Update, Application 21381
MEETING DATE:February 1, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Legislative
RECOMMENDATION:Receive information and offer input.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.1 Informed Conversation on Growth: Continue developing an in-depth
understanding of how Bozeman is growing and changing and proactively
address change in a balanced and coordinated manner.
BACKGROUND: Access to goods and services, homes, and other necessities is essential for
economic activity and personal well-being. The average individual detached
home generates 9.6 motor vehicle trips per day. Attached housing generates
fewer trips per home. Each of those trips begins and ends with a vehicle
being parked/stored in some manner. Vehicle storage uses a lot of land and
costs, both public and private, are high. Americans have prioritized personal
vehicle use over other travel modes.
A key principle of effective regulation is that requirements are proportionate
to impacts from an action. For many years, Bozeman has worked to fine tune
its parking requirements to reflect local circumstances and to encourage
non-motorized travel. Needs and expectations continue to evolve as the
community changes. Bozeman's land use related parking regulations are in
Chapter 38, Article 5, Division 540 . Parking regulations have two
components, numbers of required spaces and how those requirements may
be met; and design of circulation and storage areas. Discussion with the
Economic Vitality Board is sought regarding the numbers of spaces and how
those requirements may be met.
Required numbers of parking spaces for homes has recently been reduced as
part of amendments relating to affordable housing. See Ordinance 2105,
Sections 12 replacing Section 38.380.030 Incentives Available and Section
15, amending Section 38.540.050.A.1. Both sections are now codified and
available online, hyperlinks to the codified sections are above.

As part of the broader update to the Unified Development Code additional
issues relating to parking are under review. Issues under consideration
include:
1. Electric Vehicle Charging - site layout and ramifications on overall site
design.
2. Addressing in greater detail mixed use buildings and more complex mixed
use developments.
3. Simplification of non-residential parking category requirements and
method of calculation.
4. Coordination with emerging parking management tools.
The discussion with the Economic Vitality Board on February 1st is not to
consider proposed alteration of specific numbers of required parking spaces.
Both excess and insufficient parking causes problems both economic and
social. Means of meeting requirements continue to evolve with new tools
coming into use. Travel patterns are changing with greater remote work
possibilities, population increases throughout the Gallatin Valley, and
changing building forms.
At the meeting, Planning Staff will provide some review of what the current
code requires and how we arrived to our current standards; overview of
recent changes to parking requirements; share information on local trends
and new tools manifesting in development that impact parking; and share an
overview of possible changes to the parking regulations. The Board may ask
questions and offer input. No formal proposal is to be reviewed.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:No final resolution or proposal is made at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:Work is underway and no specific decisions have yet been made. Input is
requested to assist in formulating possible language for amendments.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The contract for the Unified Development Code update has been approved
and funded. This meeting is part of the scope of work. Final decisions, once
made, on parking standards may affect parking management and other
municipal operations but costs cannot be estimated at this time.
