Potential Development Site
Bozeman Public Library
Public-Private Partnership
Left Lane is seeking to partner with the Bozeman Public Library and the City of Bozeman to:
●Increase & improve public parking on the library site via construction of a covered parking
facility with lighting and +1 acres of public green space at Left Lane’s sole cost ($11MM
construction & ongoing maintenance, taxes and assessments)
●Left Lane would provide an easement through its development site which would allow
pedestrians to access the trailhead to the south of the library from Babcock St.
●Left Lane would make a contribution to the Bozeman Community Housing Fund
●Left Lane’s development is expected to generate 200 permanent jobs, 275 construction jobs and
+$4MM in incremental property and lodging tax revenue for the city annually, $44MM over the
initial ten year period
●In exchange for the above, Left Lane is requesting a partial constraint on the height of the
library site to protect views of the residences it will build3
