The development proposed in this submittal is intended to respond to the City of Bozeman’s goal to densify the downtown urban core. Since this development is occurring in the Downtown B-3 zoning district it was critical for the building to also respond to the ground floor, activating the street front at 5th Avenue and West Main Street. Ground floor activity will be triggered by pedestrian traffic to and from the commercial space at the street front, and controlled automobile traffic on 5th, when entering the ground floor parking garage.
The goals of the commercial spaces at the ground floor would be to attract a tenant that activates the building throughout the day. Following city approval of the proposed development, the owner intends to find a business that fits these needs and is committed to stimulating pedestrian traffic. The parking garage entrance is proposed off the alley on 5th Avenue to accommodate the grade change at the site which will impact the garage and building entry points. The building design tries to group as many of the utility services as possible at the alley side of the building to allow access, but reduce their visible impact from the street frontage. The proposed locations of these utility services can be found in the drawing set.
Amenities for the buildings residential occupants include private balconies, on-site parking, interior bicycle parking spaces, and access to a common ground floor plaza and second level outdoor courtyard. The entrances will be landscaped with plantings and paving patterns that encourages interaction with the street frontage.
