Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Danielle Garber, Associate Planner
Anna Bentley, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Design recommendation regarding West Side Flats Phases 2-3 site plan
proposal for a total of 84 apartment homes in six apartment buildings in
phases 2 & 3 of the West Side Flats Master Site Plan, NE of the corner of
Water Lily Dr. and Fallon St., Application 22026
MEETING DATE:January 9, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Quasi-Judicial
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of the site plan with conditions, application 22026, to
the Community Development Director as presented and provide design
recommendations and Board Member discussion.
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:
This review is in front of the Community Development Board in their
capacity as the Design Review Board (DRB). The Bozeman Municipal Code
(BMC) 38.230.040 sets the thresholds for projects that need the review of
the DRB, or Community Development Board, and this project exceeds those
thresholds. The DRB was established to provide design recommendations
regarding larger proposals to the review authority.
Per BMC 2.05.3000 – Established Powers and Duties “The community
development board established pursuant to Resolution No. 5330 shall act as
the design review board for all purposes under this Code. The design review
board (DRB) is established to evaluate aesthetic considerations of larger and
more complex proposals which are likely to produce significant community
impact and to provide recommendations regarding such proposals to the
review authority, subject to the provisions of chapter 38.”
8
Chapter 38, Article 3 provides code provisions regarding those aesthetic
considerations. Those include Form and Intensity Standards (38.320), Zone
Specific Provisions (38.330), and Overlay District Standards (38.340). Chapter
38, Article 5 also contains code provisions regarding aesthetic
considerations. These include, Block Frontage (38.510), Site Planning and
Design Elements (38.520), Building Design (38.530), Parking (38.540),
Landscaping (38.550), Signs (38.560), and Lighting (38.570). Sections 5, and
7a through 7g of the staff report attached discuss these code provisions.
The property has been annexed, zoned, and subdivided with previous review
by the Planning Board, Zoning Board, and City Commission and approval is in
place. Discussion of land use policy, zoning, and community design is
irrelevant to this meeting. The purpose of this meeting is the proposed
design contained in the applications.
A site plan application for 84 apartment homes in phases 2 and 3 of the
West Side Flats Master Site Plan (#20224). Homes are to be constructed in
six three-story apartment buildings, four 12-unit buildings and two 18-unit
buildings. Associated site improvements include trail connections, open
space, drive access, walkways, surface parking, utilities, storm retention, and
landscaping. The site is a long and skinny 8.77 acre lot between Baxter Creek
and Billion Auto on the east side, and Norton Ranch Subdivision on the west
side. The site is zoned R-O, residential office district, and the only proposed
uses are apartments consistent with the allowable uses in the R-O
district. There are currently no remaining corrections from engineering and
all community design requirements including transportation facilities and
access, grading, drainage, utilities, and easements are found to be adequate
with conditions and code provisions.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPEAL PROVISIONS CERTIFICATE
A) PURSUANT to Chapter 38, Article 2, Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), and other applicable sections of Ch.38, BMC, public
notice was given, opportunity to submit comment was provided to affected parties, and a review of the Site Plan described in
this report was conducted. The applicant proposed to the City a Site Plan (SP) to permit 84 three-story apartment homes in
phases 2 and 3 of the West Side Flats Master Site Plan. The purposes of the Site Plan review were to consider all relevant
evidence relating to public health, safety, welfare, and the other purposes of Ch. 38, BMC; to evaluate the proposal against the
criteria of Sec. 38.230.100 BMC, and the standards of Ch. 38, BMC; and to determine whether the application should be
approved, conditionally approved, or denied.
B) It appeared to the Director that all parties and the public wishing to examine the proposed Site Plan and offer comment were
provided the opportunity to do so. After receiving the recommendation of the relevant advisory bodies established by Ch. 38,
Art. 210, BMC, and considering all matters of record presented with the application and during the public comment period
defined by Ch. 38, BMC, the Director has found that the proposed Site Plan would comply with the requirements of the BMC if
certain conditions were imposed. Therefore, being fully advised of all matters having come before them regarding this
application, the Director makes the following decision.
C) The Site Plan has been found to meet the criteria of Ch. 38, BMC, and is therefore approved, subject to the conditions listed
in this report and the correction of any elements not in conformance with the standards of the Title. The evidence contained in
the submittal materials, advisory body review, public testimony, and this report, justifies the conditions imposed on this
development to ensure that the Site Plan complies with all applicable regulations, and all applicable criteria of Ch. 38, BMC.
On this ______ day of _______________2023, Anna Bentley, Director of Community Development, approved with conditions
this Site Plan for and on behalf of the City of Bozeman as authorized by Sec. 38.200.010, BMC.
D) This Director of Community Development’s project decision may be appealed by filing a documented appeal with and paying
an appeal fee to the Clerk of the Commission for the City of Bozeman within 10 working days after the date of the final decision
as evidenced by the Director’s signature, following the procedures of Sec. 38.250.030, BMC.

In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the Director of Community Development shall consider the
following:
1. Conformance with Article 1 - Consistency with the City’s adopted Growth
Policy 38.100.040.D
Meets Code?
Growth Policy
Land Use
Urban Neighborhood Yes
Zoning R-O, Residential Office District Yes
Comments: The project conforms to the requirements of the R-O zoning district. The 2020 Community Plan
designation of Urban Neighborhood correlates with the R-O zoning district. The proposed project conforms
to this designation by providing urban density homes with well-integrated transportation and open space
networks that encourage pedestrian activity. The homes meet the standard for multi-unit, higher density,
urban development.
2. Conformance with Article 1 - All other applicable laws, ordinances, and
regulations (38.100.080)
Condominium ownership No
Comments: Additional steps will be required including but not limited to review of building permits and
infrastructure plans. The Building Division of the Department of Community Development will review the
requirements of the International Building Code for compliance at the time of building permit application.
3. Conformance with Article 2, including the cessation of any current violations
(38.200.160)
Meets Code?
Current Violations None Yes
Comments: There are no current violations on the property.

Form and intensity standards 38.320
Zoning: R-O Setbacks (feet) Structures Parking /
Loading
Yes
Front 15 NA
Rear 20 NA
Side 5 NA
Alley NA NA
Comments: The primary use of a lot, as measured by building area, permitted in the R-O district is
determined by the underlying growth policy land use designation. Where the district lies over a residential
growth policy designation the primary use shall be non-office uses. Primary use shall be measured by
percentage of building floor area. The proposed uses of 100% residential apartments by building floor
area is consistent with the underlying growth policy designation of urban neighborhood. The proposed
project is meeting setback requirements for the R-O district. No front setbacks exist for structures in
phases 2 and 3. The primary block frontage orients towards Fallon Street and was addressed with phase
1. Phases 2 & 3 have two 20-foot rear setbacks along the east and west property lines which are met.
The site does include a front property line along West Babcock Street, but no buildings are present, and
the 15-foot front setback is met and proposed to be utilized as landscaped open space, and existing
stormwater retention. No side setbacks exist.
Lot coverage 8% Allowed No Max. Yes
Building height 8:12 - 41’ 7 3/8”
Allowed <3:12 - 50’
>3:12 - 60’
Yes
Comments: Lot coverage and building height form and intensity standards are met with the proposed design.
Both the four 12-unit buildings, and the two 18-unit buildings have a max height of just over 41-feet and an
8:12 roof pitch. R-O allows a 60-foot max roof height with a greater than 3:12 roof pitch. Lot coverage is low
due to the water course and setback along the property’s eastern boundary, and the fact that phase 1 is not
included in the phases 2 and 3 calculation.
Applicable zone specific or overlay standards 38.330-40 No
Comments: The project is not within an overlay district and R-O does not have any zone specific
standards.
General land use standards and requirements 38.350 Yes
Comments: No setback or height encroachments are proposed.
Applicable supplemental use criteria 38.360 Yes

Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Anna Bentley, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Work Session: Development Code Update
MEETING DATE:January 9, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Receive information, provide input.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:
On December 21, 2021, the City Commission adopted Resolution 5368
establishing priorities for the next two years. These City Commission
priorities include adopting changes to the Unified Development Code to
facilitate increased housing density, housing affordability, climate action
plan objectives, sustainable building practices, and a transparent,
predictable and understandable development review process. The Unified
Development Codes is the compilation of land development regulations for
development and redevelopment of property. The UDC revision process (the
UDC Project) focuses on implementing policy recommendations found in
recently adopted plans including Bozeman Community Plan 2020, Climate
Action Plan, Community Housing Action Plan, and the in-progress Parks,
Recreation, and Active Transportation. The UDC project is focused on
specific improvements, with direction to be completed by December 2023.
Objectives for the UDC revision project are:
Implementation of growth policy, climate action plan, housing action
plan, and other adopted city plans.
Improving readability and usability of the code for infrequent users
while maintaining legal soundness.
Update and revisions to zoning district descriptions and options
consistent with the growth policy.
Improve graphics.
28
To achieve this City Commission priority, the City has contracted with a
consultant team. Following a national search and competitive selection
process, Code Studio was selected. The Code Studio team brings decades of
technical and practical experience to the project. The adoption of an
updated growth policy and related plans established the policy direction for
amendments to be implemented with these code updates. The UDC project
allows the City to put the tools in place to take action on adopted policy; the
project is not intended to create new policy or change the policy direction
already established in adopted plans. Code provisions related to subdivisions
were updated in fall 2021 to conform to state law changes and are not
expected to materially change with this code update. Two separate projects
are underway to address water conservation and sensitive lands. Those
projects are not part of the UDC revision project.
Translating from the general policy oriented language of the growth policy to
regulatory language in the UDC requires interpretation and choices between
alternatives. The City Commission is providing such direction during work
sessions during the development of the revised draft. The schedule for City
Commission work sessions is below. Links to the video of the meeting and
agenda packet information are provided for each date.
Tuesday, September 13th – Organization and Page Layout (completed)
Tuesday, October 18th – Zoning Districts (completed)
Tuesday, November 15th – Sustainability (completed)
Tuesday, February 14th – Commercial Zoning
Tuesday, February 28th – Parking
Tuesday, March 21th – Transportation
At each work session the City Commission considers some key questions
proposed for discussion and provides general direction. Full details are not
discussed at this time. After code alternatives are narrowed, the consultants
and staff work to develop more refined proposals for public consideration
before final drafting. A report back to the public on each work session occurs
through the City's project website at engage.bozeman.net/UDC. The City
also provides periodic Code Connect sessions where the consultants report
on direction and can receive and answer questions. The Code Connect
meetings are recorded and also available through
engage.bozeman.net/UDC.
Future Code Connect webinars are scheduled for:
- February 2, 2023
29
Code Studio will join the January 9 th Community Development Board
meeting virtually to provide an update on community outreach completed,
touch on formatting and organization direction provided by the City
Commission, and take a deeper dive into residential districts – discussing
Commission direction and proposed metrics.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None, no decision is required at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:None, no decision is required at this time.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None.
