#Topic Existing UDC B3 Proposed UDC B3 Proposed UDC B3C Notes
1 Zoning Map The “Core Area” is not currently zoned separately
but rather described in text as: Main Street
between Grand to Rouse to the alleys one-half
block north and south from Main)
B3 (Downtown Mixed Use) is largely the same
except a small residential area along Beall was
removed and a small portion along Curtiss
(church and existing residences) was added;
also, Soroptimist Park and Hawthorne are now
PLI "Public Lands and Institutions"
B3C (Downtown Core) – this is a brand new
zoning district mapped as Main Street between
Grand to Rouse but it also now includes north
½ of Babcock (Grand to Bozeman) + 27 North
Tracy (Cateye Café)
Medium changes - in the proposed code, B3 is
officially broken into two distinct zoning districts which
greatly improves clarity; note adjustments to
boundaries especially the north 1/2 of Babcock now
being included in the core.
2 Overlay Zoning NCOD currently ends at North 5th Note: NCOD proposed to extend to 7th (does not
impact B3 or B3C zones; impacts B2M)
3 Uses See list in Section 38.310.040. See list in Section 38.300.020. See list in Section 38.300.020. Minor changes - the overall uses were consolidated
for better usability; rather than compare existing
verses proposed, recommend ensuring all desired
uses are allowed in proposed code.
4 Intent “The intent of the downtown B-3 business district is to
provide a central area for the community's business,
government service and cultural activities with urban
residential development as an essential supporting
use. The downtown B-3 district should be the area of
greatest density of development, intensity of use, and
appropriate infill. Design standards reinforcing the
area's historical pedestrian-oriented context are very
important. This district encourages high volume,
pedestrian-oriented uses in ground floor space in the
"core area" of the city's central business district, i.e.,
along Main Street from Grand to Rouse and to the
alleys one-half block north and south from Main
Street. Lower volume pedestrian uses such as
professional offices may locate on ground floor space
in the downtown B-3 area outside the above-defined
core.”
“The B3 district is intended to accommodate
government service and cultural activities with
residential, office, personal service, restaurant,
retail, and employment uses as essential supporting
uses with the City’s downtown area. There are no
limits on the location or amount of residential
uses.”
“The B3C district is intended to accommodate the
highest concentration of retail, restaurant, and
pedestrian activity in the city. To help create and
foster a highly active and pedestrian-oriented area,
residential uses are only allowed in the upper
stories of buildings. To help ensure new
construction respects the historic character of the
area, buildings cannot exceed 3 stories in height at
the sidewalk and the fourth story must be stepped
back.”
Minor changes - main difference is B3C intended to be
more limited in building scale and more limited
regarding locations of residential uses.

#Topic Existing UDC B3 Proposed UDC B3 Proposed UDC B3C Notes
10 Transitions “From a height of 38 feet at a [5-10’ depending on
zone] setback from the property line adjacent to
applicable residential districts, buildings must step
back at a 45-degree angle away from the
applicable property line”
Required in certain situations - see 38.260.070
such as when subject lot is B3 and it abuts a lot
zoned RA, RB, RC, RHM, REMU (with res. focus),
or NEHMU (with res. focus), then the subject
lot needs to provide an additional building
setback or stepback. 10% relief is allowed under
certain circumstances.
No transitions are required for B3C since it is
fully surrounded by B3.
Medium changes - note the differences between the
words "setback" and "stepback." The new transition
language includes more options including a height
stepback, a height stepback with landscaping, a
horizontal setback and a horizontal setback with
landscaping. Standards decrease if there is an alley
present between the properties. 10% relief is a
reasonable allowance.
11 Frontage See block frontage standards Build-to line Build-to line

13 55’ (core)3 stories + 4th story stepped back at least 16’ Minor changes - slight decrease in massing with new
stepback requirement but 55' essentially only allowed
4 floors anyway so not a major change
70’ (outside core) 7 stories Medium changes - increase as 70 feet only allows 5-6
floors with current construction methods. 7 stories
can range in height but is usually somewhere around
~80'-87' (depending on floor heights). For reference
the Armory Hotel is 8 floors and approximately 91' tall
and the Baxter Hotel is 7 floors and approximately 81'
tall. Also see section on transitions.

19 Parking See base requirements including 1 space/dwelling
for B3. The status of SID 565 is unclear; there are
many reductions options currently allowed (e.g.
first 3000 SF free, 10% transit reduction; 15%
parking structure reduction; bicycle reductions;
cash-in-lieu of parking; joint use; off-site;
affordable housing; car-sharing; etc.)
Many reductions (first 3000 SF free) still apply
but base standards have been simplified and
reduced. For residential, still 1 space/ dwelling;
but for hotel 0.6 per lodging room; and all other
uses 1 space/1000 SF GFA
No parking requirements for B3C Major changes - overall the methods of calculating
parking are greatly simplified. Decrease in hotel
parking factor and "all other uses." Also, this will
greatly help Downtown's existing buildings in the core
with changes of use/tenants, minor building
alterations like increasing a restaurant's seating area,
adding an apartment, etc.
