EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of the Code Studio team, we are excited to submit this response to your Request for Proposals to provide
consulting services to help update your Unified Development Code. We have added two additional team members to
our submittal - Interboro Partners to assist with outreach and Nina Williams to help us with national and Montana
land use law.
Team
CODE STUDIO pursues planning and implementation work that yields vibrant, mixed use, walkable communities
through creative urban infill, incremental redevelopment and transformational change. Founded in 2006, the firm
is nationally renowned for its highly visual page layout, simple graphics and easily understood and enforced text.
We work across the United States completing combined plan and code projects, as well as working on codes in
places planned and designed by others. Our approach focuses on translating planning and design concepts into
regulatory language to create the physical “place” envisioned by a community. When we craft new regulations, we
believe they must be fully understood by local citizens and property owners, be easily administered by local staff,
produce a predictable end result, and above all, fit within the existing legal and regulatory framework. Our codes
address building mass, building placement, the form of existing streets, the creation of new streets and other public
spaces, and height—all details that directly encourage (or discourage) pedestrian activity and mixed use. Our codes
address the public spaces that private buildings shape. Rather than relying on a myriad of uses or arcane density
prescriptions, our codes are proactive in specifically describing the form of the desired built environment.
For this project, we have included LOGAN SIMPSON on our team. Logan Simpson is a land use and planning firm
with over 30 years of experience preparing land use codes; comprehensive plans; downtown plans; mobility, housing
and economic plans for a variety of communities throughout the Intermountain West. Logan Simpson is experienced
in drafting, revising, and updating a wide variety of land use regulations, including zoning ordinances, subdivision
regulations, and special-purpose regulations. They specialize in analysis and review of regulatory programs for
internal consistency and efficiency, and for consistency with applicable state and federal laws and requirements. They
are familiar with emerging regulatory techniques such as transfer of development rights, conservation subdivisions,
sustainable site and building practices, affordable housing options, complete streets, and regulations for preservation
of natural resources. Their host of services include landscape design, community planning, parks and recreation
planning, natural resource planning, environmental assessments and permitting, historic preservation, and cultural
resources.
INTERBORO PARTNERS is an award-winning design firm offering inventive and inclusive architecture, urban design,
and planning services. Their participatory, place-specific approach creates consensus around complex projects
ranging from buildings, parks, and open spaces to neighborhood, city, and regional plans. Interboro is known for
developing creative and fun engagement materials (which include interactive models, games, newspapers, graphic
novels, pop-up furniture, and even an ice cream truck), and for their ability to reach audiences that are often
marginalized or excluded from conventional planning and design processes.
NINA WILLIAMS is partner and founder of Wilson Williams. For over 15 years, Nina has practiced in local
government and zoning law, dealing with all aspects of land use, development, legislation, personnel and government
operations. She specializes in land use code diagnosis, analysis, revision and drafting to implement planning goals.
Nina Williams currently serves as designated Town and City Attorney for numerous Colorado municipalities, as well
as special counsel to other towns and cities, on zoning and planning matters.

Project Experience
This project is ideally suited for Code Studio. We have extensive experience in preparing and updating zoning,
subdivision and unified development codes across the country.
Code Studio worked with the CITY OF MISSOULA on the Design Excellence project to promote high quality design
across the community, while also recognizing the need for design variation. The process resulted in amendments to
the City’s zoning code, new design guidelines, and incentives to promote high quality development. An overarching
goal of the project was to help the community achieve high quality design that reflects Missoula’s character.
Code Studio has worked on a variety of projects for TETON COUNTY and the TOWN OF JACKSON. The work started
in 2014 through a HUD Grant project for the Western Greater Yellowstone Consortium, which focused on auditing
the sustainability of the County and Town development regulations. Shortly after the audit was completed, the Town
and County hired us to reformat their existing regulations into a consolidated Town/County code. In 2015, Code
Studio was asked to prepare new regulations for downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. We have continued
our work since that time - preparing new regulations the remaining portions of the Town and recently completing
revisions for the historic Town Square itself. We currently have a continuing services contract with the Town to codify
revisions made by staff to the Town LDRs.
In 2010, the CITY OF DENVER adopted a new city-wide form- and context-based zoning code. Code Studio was the
lead firm for that effort. The new zoning code is a valuable tool to better implement the vision for transit station
areas, set clear expectations for development, and provide predictability for property owners. A key focus of the new
zoning was the relationship between buildings and the public realm. The form-based standards promote buildings
that are oriented towards streets and sidewalks, facilitating the evolution of auto-dominated districts and corridors
into mixed-use neighborhoods with a diverse array of businesses, housing and transportation options.
Logan Simpson recently worked with CITY OF BOZEMAN to update the comprehensive plan. Subsequent to adoption
of the Bozeman Community Plan, Logan Simpson supported Brendle Group in the alignment of and community
engagement for the Climate Action Plan.
Logan Simpson also works on code-related projects. They have been working with TETON COUNTY, IDAHO to help
them update their land use regulations. They also recently worked with SALT LAKE CITY on a sustainability code
Audit and with KETCHUM, IDAHO on a historic preservation ordinance and community core design guidelines.
For the City of CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, Interboro led the 3-year citywide engagement process for their
recent comprehensive plan. Using custom board games, an eye-catching mobile engagement station, newspapers,
surveys and more, this project set the gold standard for inclusive engagement.
For the CITY OF DETROIT, Interboro led a comprehensive neighborhood plan in Detroit’s most culturally diverse
neighborhood. Their engagement process—including an ice cream truck engagement station, collaborative mapping,
interactive models, and neighborhood listening sessions—allowed community members to directly shape the plan
from start to finish.
Closing
At Code Studio, we pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to ensure that we have a clear understanding
of community desires and expectations, and that each of our projects fit within the local political and legal context.
Our team has done this type of work before and we are committed to this project’s successful completion. We look
forward to discussing our submittal with you in more detail.

Interboro Partners is an award-winning design firm offering inventive and inclusive architecture, urban
design, and planning services. Their participatory, place-specific approach creates consensus around
complex projects ranging from buildings, parks, and open spaces to neighborhood, city, and regional
plans.
Interboro is known for developing creative and fun engagement materials (which include interactive
models, games, newspapers, graphic novels, pop-up furniture, and even an ice cream truck), and for
their ability to reach audiences that are often marginalized or excluded from conventional planning and
design processes. For example, Interboro led the 3-year citywide engagement process for Cambridge’s
latest comprehensive plan. Using custom board games, an eye-catching mobile engagement station,

communities that make up Bozeman. Their ground-up, multi-faceted engagement approach is designed
to reach as many different people as possible, wherever they are. They understand that language
barriers, cultural differences, communication and participation styles, scheduling, and geography can
all get in the way of truly inclusive engagement and planning processes. Their team uses a wide variety
of communication and outreach tools to make sure that everyone that will be affected by the project
knows that something is happening and has the opportunity to make their voice heard. They produce
multi-lingual informational materials, arrange for interpretive services at events, and use language- and
culture-specific focus-groups to make sure that the constituents can participate throughout the course of
the project.
Recommendations made as part of this project must benefit everyone equally, Towards this, Interboro is
very aware of best practices for planning equitably, and have extensive experience implementing a range
of housing, transportation, and open space strategies and tools. Moreover, they use data, graphics, and
storytelling to educate all members of the community about racial and economic disparities and how

CHRISTY DODSON, AICP
Associate
Christy comes to Code Studio with a background in architecture and
urban design with experience managing adaptive reuse and urban infill
projects. Her work focuses on implementing creative zoning strategies
that reduce development barriers for small-scale, community-driven
projects with an emphasis on affordable housing and equitable
development. She believes that the best planning projects not only
reflect the goals and vision of a place, but also provide a set of tools
that enable communities to implement change. As an urban designer at
Code Studio, Christy relies on her experience working at every stage of
the development process to bring together high-level policy goals with
practical implementation.
Christy worked in the private sector prior to joining Code Studio
managing projects ranging in scale from individual building design to
city-wide policy. Her experience delivering projects on challenging urban
infill sites with complicated development codes gives Christy unique
insight into the relationship between community goals, development
codes, and the built environment. With this perspective, Christy focuses
on designing plans and codes to be accessible, implementable, and
contextual.
Recent Experience
Atlanta Zoning Ordinance Rewrite and Update. Christy is currently
working on a citywide zoning ordinance rewrite and update for Atlanta,
Georgia. The project includes analyzing the existing ordinance to
understand the unique history and context of the City of Atlanta and
proposing a new ordinance that aligns with the Atlanta City Design goals
and vision for the future development.
Greenville Development Code Rewrite. Christy is currently working on
the citywide development code rewrite for Greenville, South Carolina
where she is focused on crafting zoning and subdivision regulations
that implement the policy goals of the recently adopted Comprehensive

the community with proposed regulations to ensure the new ordinance
produces context-sensitive and predictable outcomes.
Housing Choice Municipal Training. For a previous firm, Christy helped
to create and present training curriculum for municipalities across the
southeast on development code strategies to encourage incremental
development. The curriculum focused on connecting the dots between
real estate pro formas, the cost to deliver affordable housing, and
typical barriers within development codes – providing municipalities
with tools to allow for more complete, livable neighborhoods.

Over the past 22 years, Jennifer has been dedicated to the planning and design of spaces
small and large. Her tireless passion for connecting the natural and built environments has
led to an extensive resume of planning and design projects spanning both public and private
sector. Jennifer is experienced with planning and entitlement, land use code development,

right sized development that does not lose sight of the treasured community character.
Jennifer is also leading several code update efforts throughout Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
and Idaho currently and has expert understanding of the issues facing western lifestyle
communities such as the protection and availability of natural resources such as water,
sustainable development, and affordable housing options.

Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 21CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
SCOPE OF PROJECT
The recently updated Community Plan turned the focus of development
inward to encourage more infill development with higher density in and near
the downtown core. With this focus comes the challenge of compatibility with
the existing neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District
(NCOD) initiated the concept of compatibility and seems to be working in
general although there is still some concern that the standards are still
allowing development that is too big and too high, so this will need to be
reviewed and potentially updated to ensure that the standards are aligning
with community goals.
An additional challenge with infill and increased density is ensuring the that
the overall desired character of development is being achieved, especially
downtown. The Bozeman community has always been very protective of
the existing character, especially, the eclectic nature of neighborhoods
such as the area near the intersection of Wallace and Pearl with a mix of
adaptive reuse and neighborhood commercial integrated into the primarily
residential structure. There have been several infill developments that have
been approved in recent years that the community and even that Planning
Board has not necessarily agreed with as far as overall look and feel. One
example of that was 5West which does exemplify basic change of materials
and building articulation standards but does not step the primary public
facing facade which was stated as a potential desire for buildings along Main
Street.
Across the board, the updated land use categories in the Community Plan
contemplated higher densities that will need to be reviewed and reflected
in the updated zone districts. Additionally, through the Community Plan
process there was a general sentiment that the mixed use zone districts
do not allow for the flexibility that Bozeman needs and wants. The city has
not seen the vertical mix of residential and commercial so much as a mix of
commercial and office buildings. The Cannery District is a great example of
this with a great vertical mix of restaurants, retail, offices and athletic uses
but little to no residential uses in the mix.
Another key component of the Community Plan that will need to be discussed
in the overall Code update process is parks and open space dedications.
Although basic access to the great outdoors surrounding Bozeman has
always been a priority, the City itself is lacking in connected green space.
Recent developments have been incorporating more in the way of parks and
open space, yet the overall green footprint and connectivity of these spaces
is still lacking.

PROPOSED WORK PLAN
Below is a refined work plan created specifically for this effort. We look
forward to fine-tuning our approach with you at the appropriate time.
ON-GOING ACTIVITY
Activities that will be on-going and constant throughout the duration of this
effort.
Staff Meetings
To ensure on-going communication and project tracking we will participate at
up to 24 bi-weekly conference calls with City staff.
Progress Reports
To document project progress and to ensure key deliverables are being
met and are on time we will prepare and submit up to 12 monthly progress
reports.
Advisory Committee Meetings
To test proposed code concepts and policy recommendations we will
facilitate up to 6 Advisory Committee Meetings.
Web/Social Media Updates
To ensure the general public is fully informed we will provide material for
updates to the project website and to the City’s social media platforms.
Code Connect Meetings
To ensure the general public has a regular platform to ask questions
and learn about the project we will conduct up to 5 on-line Code Connect
Meetings - see page 50 for additional details.
PHASE 1: KICK-OFF & DATA COLLECTION
This Phase orients the team and launches the project.
1.1 Finalize Work Scope & Schedule
Work with City staff to prepare a revised work scope and project schedule.
1.2 Existing Material Review
Review the existing background material, including the Community Plan.
This review will help familiarize the Team with the City and help prepare
everyone for initial discussions with City staff and stakeholders.
Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 23CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
1.3 Kick-off Call with Staff
Conduct a kick-off call with City staff. The intent of this call is to confirm
goals, expectations and the project timetable, and identify any data and
information needs. General concepts and timing for engaging the public will
also be discussed, including hard-to-reach populations.
1.4 Engagement Plan
Prepare an Engagement Plan, illustrating the tools and techniques to be
used, the intended target audiences, and the specific geographic locations
for outreach efforts - see page 50 for additional details related to the
Engagement Plan.
1.5 Trip #1 Kick-off
Visit Bozeman to tour the community, interview key stakeholders, and hold a
public meeting to introduce the project to the community.
a. Advisory Committee Meeting
Meet with the Advisory Committee regarding the current Unified
Development Code and other issues impacting development in the City.
b. Community Tour
Tour the City to ensure familiarity with the various neighborhoods and
key sites. The Team will become familiar with the built characteristics of
the City, observing historic development patterns along with recent and
proposed development activity.
c. Stakeholder Interviews
Conduct interviews with key stakeholders to discuss the impact of the
existing regulations on development. Key stakeholders may include
appointed and elected officials, City staff who work with the current
ordinances, nonprofit organization leaders, neighborhood representatives,
local design professionals, developers, and business organizations.
d. Community Meeting #1
Hold a public open house to introduce the project to the community,
and explain why the project is important, what benefits are expected to
come from the project, and how the general public will be engaged in the
project.
1.6 Summary Report
Prepare a summary of report of the work conducted in Phase 1 - this will
include meeting notes, digital copy of photos taken, summary of public
comments, takeaways and lessons learned.
24 | Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
PHASE 2: ANALYSIS & FRAMEWORK
This Phase confirms the approach for the new development regulations.
2.1 Spatial & Policy Analysis
Analyze existing and proposed patterns of development and offer options
for new zoning districts. The proposed districts will take into account the
existing built environment and any patterns for future identified in the
recently-adopted plan. Review the existing development regulations against
the backdrop of issues identified in the initial meetings, changes in relevant
federal and state case law and statutes, and the team’s experience and
knowledge of practices in other communities.
2.2 Recommended Regulatory Framework
Prepare a Recommended Regulatory Framework report that outlines the
strategy and framework for the revised development regulations. The report
will also establish the organization and page layout for the new regulations.
2.3 Trip #2 Coding Direction
Trip to Bozeman to discuss the Spatial & Policy Analysis and Recommended
Regulatory Framework.
a. Advisory Committee Meeting
Meet with the Advisory Committee to discuss analysis work and determine
project direction before beginning the code drafting process.
b. Stakeholder Interviews
Conduct interviews with key stakeholders again to discuss the analysis
and key findings.
c. Community Meeting #2
Hold a public open house to ensure the project direction reflects citizen
ideas for the new regulations. The open house will provide the opportunity
for members of the general public to discuss the recommendations and
analysis before drafting begins.
PHASE 3: CODE DRAFTING
This Phase applies the recommended regulatory framework to refine the
City’s vision into and updated Unified Development Code.
3.1 Module 1: Districts & Uses
Prepare an initial draft of the first module, covering Article 3 - Zoning
Districts and Land Use, based on the direction agreed upon in Phase 2.
Module 1 will be presented and discussed with City staff and the Advisory
Committee.
Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 25CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
3.2 Module 2: Community & Site Design Standards
Prepare an initial draft of the second module, covering Article 4, Community
Design and Article 5, Project Design. Module 2 will also be presented and
discussed with City staff and the Advisory Committee.
3.3 Module 3: Administration & Remaining Provisions
Prepare an initial draft of the final module, primarily covering Article
2, Permits, Legislative Action and Procedures but will also include any
remaining provisions such as Article 1, Article 6 and Article 7. Module 2 will
also be presented and discussed with City staff and the Advisory Committee.
3.4. Code Testing
Organize and conduct code testing with City staff and stakeholders such as
developers, designers and architects, to trial run the newly-developed draft
code, understand how well it might function, and determine where gaps/
needs remain. Working with City staff, select a series of relevant test sites.
A site plan for each of the selected sites, as well as massing scenarios that
look at the height and bulk of development in its real-world context, will be
prepared.
3.5 Legal Review
A legal review will be conducted on the draft code to ensure conformance
with state and federal case law and statutes. This review will be shared with
the City attorney, and may include confidential communication between our
team’s attorney and the City.
3.6 Public Review Draft
Following completion and review of the draft modules, the modules will be
compiled into a complete draft ready for public review. It is assumed City
staff will handle the formal adoption process. We will be available to provide
support and answer questions, if needed. We would typically recommend
giving the general public at least 90 days to review and comment on the draft
before beginning the formal adoption process. Following adoption, we will be
available to make final revisions. Once all revisions have been made, a final
copy of the Unified Development Code will be delivered, including all photos,
images and graphics in both digital and paper format.

We are currently working on new zoning for Charlottesville with the team that prepared the City’s new
Comprehensive Plan. A series of bold changes focused on housing and land use equity across the community are
being implemented through new zoning districts that support the creation of naturally-affordable housing, as well as
multi-unit housing through and inclusionary housing program.
Existing single-family neighborhoods will be rezoned to allow for 3 to 4 units per lot. Code Studio analyzed the variety
of potential development patterns to help the community understand how this might be achieved on typical lot sizes
across the community. Specific standards will be created to protect those communities most at risk of displacement
through market-driven development.

The City of Houston asked us to support their planning staff on their Livable Places initiative. One goal of the project
is to revise the City’s development regulations to make it easier to develop smaller, more affordable houses within
the urban core, closer to existing infrastructure. Code Studio is helping the City analyze the impact of their existing
policies by identifying what can be built on prototypical blocks and lots in a variety of neighborhoods. We are also
modeling best practice outcomes so the City and stakeholders can better see how changes made to the existing
regulations might accommodate additional density as well as fit better within existing built fabric of the city.

NEIGHBORHOOD-SCALE
Below are new code pages developed for our City of Cleveland project. We are helping the City develop and
implement neighborhood-scale form-based codes in several pilot neighborhoods - with an emphasis on equity,
inclusion and affordability. The H4 district allows 4 units on a lot in neighborhoods looking to provide more
incremental housing options for existing homeowners, and ultimately give owners a mechanism to stay in their
neighborhoods. The N2.5 district allows well-scaled multi-family buildings into neighborhoods looking to allow a
greater variety of small- to moderate-scale multi-unit typologies that contain 8 to 12 dwelling units.
Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 29CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
Why Choose Code Studio?
DEEP UNDERSTANDING
Our projects focus on plan implementation through regulation. We know what it takes
to reach out to the community, achieve consensus on issues and get new development
regulations adopted. Through our experience and past work in the region, we have gained
a deep understanding of how to help communities in Montana enhance their economies by
creating places for all that support live, work and play opportunities.
NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Our successes in similar, complex planning and coding projects across the country free
our team to think boldly about the future of places like Bozeman. We have all of the key
team members needed to respond to issues raised with creativity, tempered by reality.
NIMBLE APPROACH
We are regularly called upon to rethink how we regulate as part of creating a unique
vision for each client community. We do not simply rely on the last set of regulations we
created. Our years of flexible project management, charrette logistics and preparation,
allow us to respond to the City’s needs as they are uncovered, while meeting the project
timeline.
INDUSTRY LEADING SPECIALISTS
Each of the team’s firms is a leader in their respective fields, with award-winning
innovation in their approach to collaborative projects like this one. And the combination
of all of these specialists is much stronger than any one firm alone could possibly be.
When combined with the City’s own expertise, there will be plenty of brainpower to tackle
Bozeman’s challenges.
COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT
We believe in meeting people where they live, in settings that are comfortable for them—
virtually or in person. Members of the team have been actively involved in lifting up
communities through neighborhood engagement. We believe in incrementalism, and we’re
committed to inclusive engagement wherever we work.

Link: Design Excellence Overlay Standards
Code Studio worked with Winter & Company and
the City of Missoula on a project to promote high
quality design across the community, while also
recognizing the need for design variation. The
Missoula Design Excellence Project reinforces
recent development successes which have
demonstrated that high quality design can add
value to properties and to the City at large. It
responds to concerns that some development
projects have not met the City’s objective to
maintain its distinct identity and instead are
generic, without expressing the unique sense of
place that is Missoula. The project focused on
Downtown and the City’s commercial corridors,
and how development in those areas can
enhance the public realm and be sensitive to
abutting neighborhoods.
The process resulted in amendments to the
City’s zoning code, new design guidelines, and
incentives to promote high quality development.
An overarching goal of the project was to help
the community achieve high quality design that
reflects Missoula’s character.
NEW OVERLAY DISTRICTS
A variety of corridor types and downtown subareas were crafted
based on existing and planned conditions.

Links: - Haywood Road Form-Based Code
- River Arts District Form-Based Code
The City of Asheville funded a pilot project
to prepare the City’s first form-based code.
Haywood Road was selected as the most
appropriate place for this first code. The market
had recently revitalized many of the existing
buildings in the corridor, and it was expected
that future new development activity would
follow. Code Studio prepared a form-based
code that divided the corridor into six discrete
sub-districts, regulating their character with an
emphasis in on retaining existing retaining and
reusing existing buildings.
The River Arts District has long been a cultural
center for Asheville, with artists living and
working in the affordable and architecturally
interesting industrial buildings located near
the French Broad River, yet close to downtown
and other intriguing Asheville neighborhoods.
This, in combination with new restaurants
and shops, has made the River Arts District a
vibrant, hip and exciting place to work, live and
visit. However, the area was also experiencing
economic, social, and physical changes.
Code Studio prepared a form-based code for
the district with the goal of maintaining the
industrial and creative arts feel of the District;
retaining an environment that supports working
artists and their studios; supporting the adaptive
re-use of existing buildings; applying updated
flood damage prevention requirements that
enhance resiliency; and adding predictability for
residents, tenants and owners.

Code Studio has worked on a variety of projects
for Teton County and the Town of Jackson,
including:
»LDR Diagnosis & GY- Framework for
Sustainable Development Audit
»Teton County/Jackson LDR reformat and
reorganization
»Jackson District 2 LDR Implementation
»Jackson District 3-6 LDR Implementation
»Jackson District 1: LDR Implementation
(ongoing)
This work started in 2014 through a HUD Grant
project for the Greater Yellowstone Area, which
focused on auditing the sustainability of the
County and Town development regulations.
Shortly after the audit was completed, the Town
and County hired Code Studio to reformat their
existing regulations into a consolidated Town/
County code.
Starting in 2015, Code Studio prepared new
District 2 regulations for the Town of Jackson
(surrounding the Town Square, but not including
it) to implement their recent Comprehensive
Plan revisions. The firm has continued their
work since that time - moving next to prepare
new regulations for Districts 3-6, and recently
completing the revisions for District 1 - the
Town Square itself (this last project with Winter
& Company). The firm remains on retainer to
codify any revisions to the Town/County code.

Most recently (2020), Code Studio has been working with Winter & Company and Town planners to prepare new zoning regulations for District 1 that includes the areas immediately abutting the historic Town Square.
In 2017, as a follow on project, Code Studio worked with the Town to prepare new infill residential standards for Plan Districts 3-6.In 2015, Code Studio with both the County and Town to reformat and reorganize their existing regulations in to an easier to use format.

ZONING CODE UPDATE
2005 -2010
Contact: Abe Barge
Principal City Planner
abe.barge@denvergov.org
(720) 865-2924
Link: Denver Zoning Code
In 2010, the City of Denver adopted a new city-
wide form- and context-based zoning code.
The new zoning code is a valuable tool to better
implement the vision for transit station areas,
set clear expectations for development, and
provide predictability for property owners.
Code Studio was the lead planner for the
rezoning effort. A key focus of the new zoning
is the relationship between buildings and
the public realm. The form-based standards
promote buildings that are oriented towards
streets and sidewalks, facilitating the evolution
of auto-dominated districts and corridors into
mixed-use neighborhoods with a diverse array
of businesses, housing and transportation
options.
The Denver approach is organized around six
different “contexts” derived from the existing
desirable characteristics of Denver’s diverse
neighborhoods. This context-based approach
provides a broader range of land use and zoning
categories than was previously available. The
new code uses a form-based approach that
clearly explains what is expected of developers
and what can be built.

Link: Stockyard Form-Based Code
The Fort Worth Stockyards was one of the
largest livestock markets in the United States
and a defining factor for the community. As the
industry changed, the Stockyards transitioned
from an important center for the meat packing
and livestock industry to a visitor destination.
During the summer of 2014, the City Council
rezoned the Stockyards in July 2014 from
heavy industrial to mixed-use in order to
require pedestrian-oriented development, allow
residential uses and prohibit heavy industrial
uses.
As a result, the City of Fort Worth hired Code
Studio to develop the form-based code and
design standards and guidelines.
The project area covers almost 300 acres and
includes the historic Stockyards, the Marine
Creek area, the Swift and Armour meatpacking
sites, the commercial corridors of Main Street
and 28th Street, and portions of the North Side
and Diamond Hill - Jarvis neighborhoods.

Teton County Idaho Land Development Code Update
Current Status: Currently underway, final adoption expected spring of 2022
Reference: Bob Heneage, County Commissioner District 3 | 150 Courthouse Drive | Driggs, ID 83422 | P: 208.354.8775 | E: bheneage@co.teton.id.us
Logan Simpson has been working with Teton County, Idaho since July 2019 to update their land use
regulations. The primary objective of the code update project was to implement the land use strategies
identified in the 2012 Comprehensive Plan (prepared by Logan Simpson staff), and consolidate the existing
regulations into a UDC. The consultant team kicked off the project with an informational public open house,
online questionnaire, and key stakeholder interviews focused on gathering input on development patterns to
inform newly defined zoning districts. A full audit of all pertinent existing documents was performed, resulting
in a code assessment report, which served as the roadmap to the update process.
Key project elements included defining new zoning districts to correspond to the character areas defined by the
Comprehensive Plan; developing subdivision types or patterns that will address conservation development;
and general reformatting to address conflicting regulations. The current code depends on broad stroke maps
to identify wildlife corridors, scenic corridors, and sensitive areas such as wetlands and steep slopes, leading
to unpredictable development applications. The draft code update removed reliance on the maps by providing
more simplified, formulaic regulations on how to develop within and protect these precious resources. The
most controversial change to the code is with regards to the zone districts which are drafted to better respect
the existing productive agricultural land and open space by switching from a minimum lot size approach to
a gross density approach which encourages cluster development and preservation of the aforementioned
corridors and sensitive areas.
The full draft code update has been completed and is currently undergoing review and editing with the
Planning Commission via a series of public work sessions.

Salt Lake City Sustainability Code Review
Current Status: Completed 7/2020 to 3/2021
Reference: Shannon Williams, Department of Sustainability | Salt Lake City | P: 801.535.7761 E: shannon.williams@slcgov.com
Salt Lake City has a long standing commitment to sustainability. As part of the US Department of Energy’s
Better Building Challenge, the City has committed to an energy savings goal of 20% by 2025. Building on
numerous City related efforts and policies on the subject, in 2017, the then-mayor developed the Sustainable
Infrastructure Executive Order which gave City Staff the responsibility to evaluate and implement best
practices related to sustainable infrastructure of all City-proposed projects. Another result of the order was
the establishment of the Sustainable Infrastructure Steering Committee, comprised of staff from a broad
cross section of City Departments, which was tasked with finding way to elevate development regulations to
meet the City’s aggressive sustainability goals.
In order to determine which concepts to prioritize, the Logan Simpson team did a thorough review of
the relevant sections of the existing City Code to determine what was already in place, what might be
missing, and if there are any regulations that are currently providing a barrier to sustainable infrastructure
development. In collaboration with the Steering Committee, a set of five primary goals were set for the
project to include: reduction in urban heat island; increasing effectiveness of public rights-of-way (with
regards to sustainable infrastructure); encouraging resilient landscape design, incentivizing sustainability
elements in design; and promoting ecosystem conservation design. Best practices and peer community
examples were researched to address multiple approaches to each of these goals. The City Code was
reviewed several more times through the lens of these best practices to determine recommendations for both
stand-alone text edits and comprehensive new code sections to better address sustainable infrastructure
development in Salt Lake City.

Ketchum Idaho Historic Preservation Ordinance and
Community Core Design guidelines
Current Status: Design Guidelines and Historic Preservation Handbook expected for completion in spring of 2022
Reference: Suzanne Frick, Planning and Building | City of Ketchum | P: 208.727.5086 | E: sfrick@ketchumidaho.org
In October 2020 the city of Ketchum, Idaho enacted an emergency ordinance to place a temporary stay on all
demolition of buildings within the Community Core Zoning District in order to assess the need for historic
preservation regulations. Early assessments indicated a strong desire for preservation regulations, so
Logan Simpson worked diligently with City Staff to expedite drafting of the interim historic preservation
ordinance which detailed the required composition of a Historic Preservation Commission and put in place
regulations to define applicability by way of a list of significant historic structures, establish a process for
alterations to and demolition of historic structures, and update the general demolition requirements for
all buildings fifty years old and older. The three-month interim ordinance process included input of many
community stakeholders including historians, developers, architects, real estate agents, and members of
the community.
Following adoption of the interim ordinance, Logan Simpson assisted the newly appointed Historic
Preservation Commission with refining the Historic Building/Structure list and developing criteria for
establishing designation on said list. This list was adopted and now serves as the foundation for historic
review of buildings in the Community Core.
Currently Logan Simpson is nearing the end of the process to develop Design Guidelines for the City of
Ketchum's downtown, the Community Core. This effort included extensive public outreach throughout the
process, including several joint work sessions with City Council, the Planning Commission, and Historic
Preservation Commission as well as a multi-day public open house and online outreach to define the existing
and desired characteristics of development in the Community Core. Outreach efforts resulted in clear
direction on what the Community Core is, is not, and should be, which was incorporated into the draft Design
Guidelines. The Design Guidelines include information on specific goals to achieve the desired development
character and associated methods to achieve the goals buy way of representative text and graphics. The
Historic Preservation Handbook will be completed soon as well and will include specific guidance on historic
preservation along with funding sources to achieve harmonious development of historic structures.

Envision Cambridge was a three-year public process with the City of Cambridge, MA to develop a comprehensive plan for a livable, sustainable, and equitable city. Interboro played a vital role in developing a shared vision for the city’s future by gathering and synthesizing inputs from those who live, work, study, and play in Cambridge. The Envision Cambridge plan includes recommendations on a broad range of topics such as housing, mobility, economic opportunity, urban form, and climate and the environment.
It can be a challenge to solicit input from people who don’t have the time or the inclination to attend a formal public meeting. For Envision Cambridge, Interboro developed a variety of tools to make it fun, quick, and easy for people to participate in comprehensive city planning processes. Our engagement tools included:• A mobile engagement station that brought participatory mapping to the sidewalks of Cambridge• A citywide quarterly newspaper that illuminated planning goals while celebrating the diverse people and places of Cambridge• Two different hands-on planning games to help citizens learn about and explore tricky planning concepts• Museum-quality public exhibitions of the plan
Interboro’s priority was to ensure that the comprehensive planning process was as open and inclusive as possible, from the early research and goal-setting stages to the unveiling of the final product. We used our creative engagement tools to foster a constant dialogue between the community, planning team, and the City.

Interactive GamesGames and hands-on activities are a great way to make planning and design concepts seem more fun and accessible, rather than complicated and impenetra-ble. For Envision Cambridge, Interboro de-signed a series of tabletop games to help citizen planners of all ages understand zoning and land-use, floor area ratios, and right-of-way design. The games toured the city and made a big splash at community events across Cambridge.
Mobile Engagement StationIt can be a challenge to solicit input from people who don’t have the time or the in-clination to attend a formal public meeting. A large part of our engagement effort con-sists of “person-on-the-street” intercept surveys that make it fun, quick, and easy for people to participate in comprehensive planning processes. We created a mobile engagement station that allows people to identify what they do and don’t like about Cambridge and share their hopes for the future. The Station has three layers: on top, a 3D model of Cambridge showing all buildings in the city; below that, a map of Cambridge land use, building footprints, and streets; and at bottom, custom stools in the shape of each of Cambridge’s neighborhoods.
The Envision Cambridge Newspaper The Envision Cambridge Newspaper is a quarterly publication that mimics the everyday aesthetic of weekly community newspapers. The paper captures interesting aspects of the city, explains current planning initiatives in clear and relatable ways, and portray Cambridge residents’ aspirations in a unique, fun, and engaging format. The features highlight lesser-known aspects of Cambridge while shedding light on under-represented communities. The newspaper is distributed across the city and complements Interboro’s other outreach efforts—including models, panels, and meetings— forming an important link between community aspirations and the agenda for the citywide plan.

Interboro was the lead planning consultant for the Campau/Davison/Banglatown Neighborhood Framework Plan in Detroit. This project has won a 2020 AIA Award for Regional & Urban Planning, 2020 APA National Planning Achievement Gold Award, a 2019 LISC Detroit Community Development Award (Community Strategy of the Year), and was featured in the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial.
The Campau/Davison/Banglatown Neighborhood Framework Plan is a community-driven vision for one of the most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods in the Detroit. The planning area boasts a bustling commercial corridor, desirable residential neighborhoods, and growing communities of artists, urban farmers, and entrepreneurs. It also includes challenges like high rates of poverty, crime, and large swaths of vacant land and structures. The Framework Plan includes both near-term and long-term strategies for enhancing streetscapes and connectivity; open space and community nodes; and housing, rehabilitation, and economic development. The plan synthesizes these three main topics into a single, holistic framework, and recommends specific projects and improvements that can be implemented in the near-term, including streetscape enhancements, park improvements, vacant home and lot strategies, development scenarios for the vacant school and other commercial structures, and innovative land bank pilot programs. Throughout this project, Interboro’s approach was to:• Listen to community members and stakeholders at every step• Learn from past planning efforts and today’s realities• Envision the future we want to see• Develop innovative projects to bring our vision to reality• Implement those projects in the near term
Throughout this project, we used strong communication and innovative engagement methods to maintain a continuous feedback loop that includes the City, the planning team, and the community.

In 2019, the Detroit City Planning Commission (CPC) publicly launched ZoneDetroit, a multiyear process to comprehensively update Detroit’s outdated zoning ordinance. From the beginning, CPC recognized that successful zoning regulations must reflect the realities and aspirations of the whole city. But, in order to foster meaningful conversations about zoning among the city’s diverse communities, CPC needed a tool for making zoning approachable and understandable for all, regardless of people’s prior knowledge or experience. CPC and lead consultant Code Studio asked Interboro to develop a simple, flexible, interactive, and educational tool that could be used in a wide variety of settings, from large public events to block club meetings to youth workshops. Thus, Game of Zones was born!
Interboro created different material versions of the Game of Zones—including simple paper sets, a deluxe version with plastic pieces and a felt board, and a jumbo static-cling version for displaying on walls. Each variation includes two essentials: a board and a large set of development tiles. Additional features, like a set of zoning scenarios and zoning overlays were added for more in-depth sessions. Finally, each set comes with a set of instructions, a zoning district color key, and discussion questions for the activity facilitator. In Game of Zones, players place “development” tiles onto a blank game board in order to create a neighborhood. The goal is to come to a consensus about what kinds of uses are (or aren’t) appropriate for the neighborhood, where each use belongs, and at what scales and densities. In later rounds, new zoning maps and overlays are added to the mix—players must rearrange the board, eliminate non-conforming uses, navigate how to incorporate less-desirable by-right uses, and discuss complex tradeoffs. Game of Zones kits traveled far and wide in Detroit, allowing CPC to reach new audiences and have richer and more fruitful participant-led conversations about zoning and planning. By facilitating more open direct engagement and leveling the playing field between zoning “experts” and “novices,” Game of Zones has contributed to Detroit’s goal of a zoning ordinance that is deeply informed by its citizens’ priorities.

Left: Neighborhood workshop participants used a paper version of Game of Zones to create an ideal neighborhood, then discussed how zoning might help or hinder them from acheiving this type of development.
Opposite page: The “deluxe” version of game of zones featured durable acrylic pieces and a velvety cloth board. This set was designed to stand up to the heavy wear-and-tear of traveling around the city and multiple re-uses.
Right: Interboro made a jumbo-sized felt static-cling version of Game of Zones that could be hung on a wall and used for large group demonstrations. In this behind-the-scenes process photo, the uncut sheet shows the game board and the wide variety of development pieces that are included in every set of Game of Zones.
These pieces were developed to reflect the type of land uses commonly found in Detroit today; however, they could be modified to reflect the development patterns and building typologies of other cities too.

PROPOSED SCHEDULE
We anticipate providing a complete public review draft of the updated Unified Development Code within the 12-month
time-frame desired by the City. As mentioned in the RFP, the public review period is expected to extend 4-6 more
months before the Unified Development Code is adopted. We assume staff will handle the formal public review and
adoption process. We will be available to provide support and answer questions, if needed. Following adoption, we
will make any final revisions to the UDC and provide copies of all digital files for the code.

OUTLINE OF ENGAGEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
While public meetings have an important place in our outreach, we know
that not everyone in the community has the time or interest to participate
in those forums. Furthermore, conversations about planning, urban design,
economic development, or housing policy can be complex and abstract, even
for experts. Fortunately, just because a person doesn’t have time to attend a
public meeting or may not be familiar with planning jargon doesn’t mean they
don’t have important things to say about the future of their neighborhood!
That’s why we will use both “macro engagement” tactics such as public
meetings and “micro engagement” tactics: creative engagement tools
specifically designed for Bozeman that can help us include harder-to-reach
parts of the community, level the playing field so that everyone can contribute
to the discussion on equal footing, make abstract concepts more visible and
concrete, and encourage local stakeholders to shape the recommendations
through meaningful dialogue and hands-on exploration.
TARGET AUDIENCES
We will lead an inclusive community engagement process. We will use a
variety of engagement techniques—including inventive, forward-looking
new techniques and traditional, time-tested ones—to solicit a wide range
of feedback. We will engage residents, employers, employees, schools,
neighborhood and non-profit organizations, appointed and elected public
officials, and City staff. In addition to public meetings, we will support online
engagement, conduct stakeholder listening sessions, and develop fun and
accessible activities and publications to broaden our reach. Throughout,
we will take measures to ensure that we connect with underrepresented
segments of the population such as youth, seniors and immigrants.
Our primary target audiences are people who use the development
regulations, people who shape the regulations, and people who may not
directly use or shape the regulations, but who are nonetheless affected by
them.
People Who Use the Development Regulations
We will engage people who use the development regulations, including
zoning districts and procedures, subdivision review procedures, park and
transportation standards, and other generally applicable land development
standards. This list, which primarily includes people involved in the building
trades, includes the following:
»Developers
»Architects
»Planners
»Land use attorneys
»Contractors
»Business owners

INTERBORO
Leaders in creative and inclusive
community engagement.
52 | Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
Our purpose in engaging this group is to understand what works and what
doesn’t work about the existing development regulations. On the one hand,
we want to get feedback on the existing ordinance itself: How clear and user
friendly are the regulations? Where are there contradictions, redundancies,
etc.? On the other hand, we want to get feedback on what the regulations
allow builders to build, and understand how they help or hinder construction.
People Who Shape the Development Regulations
»City staff
»Elected and appointed officials
Our purpose in engaging this group is to get further insights on what works
and what doesn’t work about the existing regulations, and gather opinions
about how it can be rewritten to both be more straightforward and user-
friendly, and better able to facilitate the kind of development that the City
wants to see.
People Who Don’t Use the Development Regulations
One doesn’t have to use or interact with the regulations in order to care
about them, especially considering the influence it has over our everyday
lives. Our purpose in engaging this group is to ensure that the regulations
are written in a way that reflects the priorities of average Bozeman residents.
A major goal here will be to educate and empower people with the knowledge
about zoning necessary to make decisions about it.
We can further break this general public category into three subcategories,
each of which we will may wish to target with different engagement tools:
Engaged Citizens
Bozeman has a number of engaged citizens who turn out regularly for public
meetings, and who closely follow what is happening in their city.
Leaders and Interest Groups
Bozeman of course has a number of institutions and employers (both
nonprofit and for profit), representatives of which may not attend a public
meeting or encounter or intercept activities.
Hard to Reach Citizens
Youth, busy working adults, and residents of neighborhoods far from typical
meeting places can all be left out of the regular planning processes. Digital
literacy, and access to the internet and e-mail can also be a marginalizing
factor. Language is another important challenge to overcome.
Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 53CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TOOLS
We have organized our engagement strategy into two components. The first
component is a set of traditional engagement tools that are detailed in our
work scope. The second component is a series of tools that we have included
as menu to decide upon, based on the particular needs of the project. We
have included a $45,000 outreach contingency in the budget to cover costs
associated with the use of some or all of these tools.
Traditional Engagement Tools
Public Meetings
These public meetings, likely held in the evening to accommodate work
schedules (ideally with childcare, translation services and snacks provided
as deemed appropriate), would be a combination of presentations, large
group discussion, and smaller table sessions and work sessions on particular
topics or questions. They will be designed to be both informative and
interactive, with very focused and engaging presentations and meaningful
work for participants to engage in.
These meetings would likely be 2 hours long, with the possibility of a more
focused workshop or info session earlier in the day for those who want to
delve into the content in more detail. Each meeting will have a different topic
or series of topics, with an update on the process, progress made, recent
project activities, and what the upcoming months hold, plus one or two
opportunities for participants to weigh in on timely topics and contribute to
the project.
Stakeholder Meetings/Focus Groups
In order to better understand what works and what doesn’t work about
the existing regulations, we will engage people who use the development
regulations (developers, architects, planners, land use attorneys, etc.) in
small Focus Groups. We will also conduct Focus Groups with City staff,
elected officials, and others who shape the regulations.
Finally, we will conduct Focus Groups with Bozeman residents who might
not otherwise show up to a public meeting. While getting input and feedback
from diverse communities will be essential to the success of the project,
language and cultural barriers can make effective engagement difficult. As
such, we propose to convene focus groups that target underrepresented
groups, and that provide smaller settings, conducting the activity on their
terms in a setting they are familiar with. We typically pay these people for
their time, as we see them as experts of their community.
54 | Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
Advisory Committee
We have proposed the formation of an Advisory Committee to serve as a
sounding board for the project. The Advisory Committee should be comprised
of outside interests who have a working knowledge of the UDC or have
development-related knowledge. The Committee should include building
and design professionals; developers; representatives from the local
business and arts communities; community organizations and foundations;
and engaged citizens and community leaders who represent the interests
of Bozeman residents. The Committee should reflect the ethnic and cultural
diversity, and geographic differences, found across the City.
The Committee is not a policy or decision-making body and is not expected to
come to any consensus about the issues brought before it. Rather, meetings
are an opportunity to test out ideas, highlight “hot button” issues, update
key stakeholders on how the project is progressing, and listen to ideas
and concerns before draft material is shared with the broader community.
Advisory Committee members often end up as the best “ambassadors”
for the project as it moves through the adoption process, since they have
educated and been brought along throughout the process.
Web/Social Media Update
We will provide relevant material and content-related project news, study
documents, process timelines, community meeting schedules, engagement
opportunities and engagement summaries, for the City staff to post on
the project web-page and the City’s existing social media platforms. We
will also prepare a monthly one-pager that will summarize the projects
accomplishments for that month - this can posted on the project web-page
and distributed via social media.
Code Connect Meetings
We are proposing to host and run an on-line informational and education
forum every other month. This on-line meeting would provide a digital
platform where people could engage and interact with City staff and the
consultant team. Topics could range from a Zoning 101 and how development
regulations implement community plans, to zoning and housing affordability
or neighborhood transitions. This regular meeting would help keep people
up-to-date with the project. Meetings would be an hour long, including a
short presentation followed by a robust Q&A session.
Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update | 55CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
Menu of Engagement Tools
Below is menu of engagements tool that could be used on this project. The
exact tools or combination of tools would be determined in the finalized
engagement plan.
Newsletter
A newsletter could be used as a key outreach component for educating
the general public about important development-related issues and for
communicating timely information about the project. Its intention is to
capture interesting aspects of the City and portray residents’ aspirations
in a unique, fun and engaging format. A newsletter could: 1) educate and
empower residents with the knowledge needed to participate in the process,
2) present findings in an engaging and accessible way, and 3) update people
on where things are in the process. The newsletter could be published on-
line, emailed or printed in paper form and distributed around Bozeman.
Mobile Engagement Station
This would be an eye-catching, portable, furniture-scaled object that
includes an interactive map of Bozeman and could serve as the focal point
for conversations and activities—whether indoors at a community meeting,
outside on a sidewalk or public plaza, at an outdoor market or summer
concert series, or at a larger event. Past mobile engagement stations have
included:
• A bright orange table and stools shaped like the City of Cambridge, MA for
Envision Cambridge
• An ice cream truck with a custom-painted neighborhood map that drove
around a Detroit neighborhood for a summer
• A fold-out cart loaded with collage and modeling supplies that visited youth
centers across St. Louis, enabling kids to show us how we should design a
new nature playscape.
Panel Discussions
As part of our interest in democratizing the process and stimulating
conversations about pressing issues that we will be addressing as part
of this project, a series of topical panels could be put together that would
feature discussions and debates with local experts. These panels would be
free and open to the public.
56 | Bozeman, Montana UDC Overall Update CODE STUDIO 5/9/2022
Board Game
Custom board games and activity sets can be a great
way for people to learn, explore, and design by doing,
rather than just talking. For Zone Detroit, we developed
a successful new planning game (Game of Zones) for
the City that boosted community engagement and
awareness around the city’s zoning ordinance rewrite
project. For Envision Cambridge, we built two games
to collect community input on the future of planning for
Cambridge’s major mixed-use corridors: Massachusetts
Avenue and Cambridge Street. The Corridors activity
invited participants to design their ideal corridor,
specifying the mix of building uses, the density of
buildings, and the location of amenities, like retail and
open space. The “right-of-way” game enabled community
members to re-design key streets using a library of
street element pieces (e.g. sidewalks, traffic lanes,
street trees, bike lanes, etc.) while operating within
certain fixed parameters (no changing the ROW width).
By physically placing pieces within a fixed right-of-way,
participants quickly saw that not everything everybody
wanted would fit—and the conversation naturally evolved
into a productive discussion of priorities, trade-offs, and
solutions.
Community Walking/Biking Tours
During early rounds of community engagement, we could
look for a few local volunteers to act as tour guides. In
our previous work, we have learned a great deal from
walking or biking the community with locals—these
guides provide an important insider’s perspective that
would be difficult to glean from maps and data alone.
We would arrange multiple walking or biking tours of
an hour or less, in succession, and each with a different
guide who is knowledgeable about a particular aspect of
neighborhood life: for example, a leader from the local
business community, a local historian or preservationist,
and a high school student.

RECENT & CURRENT WORK FOR THE CITY
Bozeman Community Plan & Subsequent Climate Action Plan
Logan Simpson worked with the City of Bozeman and its residents, visitors, students, and second homeowners
to update the city’s comprehensive plan known as the Community Plan. The plan will guide the growth and
development of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the country over the next twenty years. Bozeman’s
population has doubled in size since 1990 and expected to grow by nearly 30,000 people during the planning
horizon. A high rate of development, changing economic conditions with growth of technology and other non-typical
employment, and economic maturation of nearby satellite communities, make it necessary to update the plan.
Logan Simpson was selected to narrow the focus of the current plan to be more tightly focus on issues of land use, community resilience, community expansion, and related policies. Logan Simpson led the community outreach, goal and objective development, future land use map modeling and alternative scenarios.
Key issues identified by the community during initial outreach include growth management, neighborhood identity,
mixed-use nodes, a multimodal transportation system, and the preservation and expansion of the parks, trails, and
open space system. These issues will help shape the goals, objectives, and ultimately, the comprehensive plan that
guides Bozeman’s future.
Subsequent to adoption of the Bozeman Community Plan, Logan Simpson supported Brendle Group in the alignment of and community engagement for the Climate Action Plan – a comprehensive strategy for addressing climate change in Bozeman. The Plan calls for the city to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26% in the next few years, establish 100% net clean electricity by 2030 and complete carbon neutrality by 2050. The Plan lays out dozens of specific actions the city and community can take to help achieve those and other climate-related goals. Engagement included a combination of in-person and digital workshops and questionnaires, and ongoing involvement of a 30-person Climate Team of City representatives, MSU and Bozeman High School youth representatives, and early-career professionals.
