RE: 22378; TownePlace Hotel Site Plan for Lot 1A of Amended Eastlake Professional Center
Subdivision Conditional Approval.
Dear Mr. Ralph:
The above-referenced Site Plan, application 22378, has received conditional approval. The condition
of approval for this site plan is as follows: “The Applicant is advised that unmet code provisions or
code provisions that are not specifically listed as conditions of approval does not, in any way, create
a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) or
State law.” This is a standard condition for site plans.
In addition, as noted in the staff report, staff advises you that the application must meet the
following BMC code provisions:
1. BMC 38.360.060. Should the hotel propose a bar/lounge to sell alcohol for on-premise
consumption, the owner shall submit a separate application for a Special Use Permit to the
Director of Community Development for consideration for approval.
2. BMC 38.410.130. Water Adequacy: A preliminary cash-in-lieu of water rights determination has
been performed for the project. Including amenities (bar, gym, indoor pool, etc. ) the 107-room
hotel's estimated annual municipal water demand is 7.19 acre-feet. Before the fee determination
can be finalized the applicant must provide a pre-determination from the DNRC demonstrating
that the proposed irrigation well is allowed and providing the annual irrigation demand on the
landscaping irrigation sheets. Prior to final site plan approval, all required cash-in-lieu of water
rights (CILWR) must be paid.
As you are aware, you must comply with all provisions of Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code
that are applicable to this project, including but not limited to the following:
Code Provisions
▪ Per Section 38.100.080 & 38.200.110, the proposed project shall be completed as approved and
described in this application. Any modifications to the submitted and approved application
materials shall invalidate the project's legitimacy, unless the Applicant submits the proposed
modifications for review and approval by the Department of Community Development prior to
undertaking said modifications. The only exception to this law is repair.
