2. Use of other roof forms: The use of a trellis structure is intended at the roof to accomodate sun shading for the roof top balcony. The
roof top balcony space also includes a BBQ area, fire pit, and seating area for the use of the residence.
D| SITE DESIGN
1. Create strong connections between downtown’s sub-districts and between downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods:
5th and Main utilizes façade relief and a unique design at all facades along 5th Ave., Main St., and the alley to the north. This, partnered
with storefrontage at the ground level, encourages an interaction with pedestrians and brings the six story building down to a pedestrian
scale. The landscaped elements around the site allow for integration into the city fabric and pleasurable access to downtown Bozeman’s
activity.
2. Public spaces should be made active through programming or utilizing opportunities with adjacent uses that promote
vitality and safety: N/A the nature of the site in the Downtown fabric hosts a zero lot line condition. All outdoor spaces for the project
will be private for the residents and programmed with various amenities including covered outdoor seating, fire pits, yard games, and
bbq counters.
E| PARKING FACILITIES
1. Enclosed parking, integrated into individual new buildings as well as additions (if feasible), is preferred whenever
possible to surface parking lots: 5th & Main is planning to house 127 cars in an enclosed at-grade and basement parking garage to
meet the required amount of parking stalls required in the B-3 zoned district. With each residential unit having the required 1 stall per
unit in the parking garage, there is no need for on street parking. The project will also host a 15 space parking lot to the north to add to
the overall parking count.
2. Shared parking structures are preferred to surface parking lots. A parking structure should be designed so that it creates
a visually attractive and active street edge: The building is utilizing enclosed parking in a garage that is hidden from the street
frontage, to promote the pedestrian activation at the street frontage.
3. For residential projects, enclosed parking is preferred to surface parking lots: The enclosed parking garage is to be hidden
from the street frontage, to promote the pedestrian activation at the street frontage.
F| SIGNS
1. Commercial and Mixed Use projects should include a variety of creative and clear signage: 5th & Main’s main building
signage is still in development as building branding has yet to be finalized. Signage will be located in prominent yet unobtrusive locations
at the primary façade, south facade, according to the signage standards as set forth in the design guidelines and Unified Development
Code.
2. Residential projects are encouraged to include building identification signage to add to Bozeman’s overall sense of
place: The main building identification signage will prominently add a sense of place to the building as a point of reference along the
south elevation.
3. All signs should be developed with the overall context of the building and the area in mind. The placement or location
of a sign is a critical factor in maintaining the order and integrity of a building. Consistent placement of signs according to
building type, size, location and even building materials creates a visual pattern that enhances the street scape experience:
5th and Main’s building signage will compliment the proposed design, while establishing a sense of place visible from the surrounding
neighborhoods.
