This Construction Agreement is made and entered into this _____ day of ____________,
2024 (“Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, a self-
governing municipal corporation organized and existing under its Charter and the laws of the State
of Montana, 121 North Rouse Street, Bozeman, Montana, with a mailing address of PO Box 1230,
Bozeman, MT 59771, hereinafter referred to as “City,” and, High Country Paving, Inc., 5200
Thorpe Rd., Belgrade, MT 59714, hereinafter referred to as “Contractor.” The City and Contractor
may be referred to individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties.”
In consideration of the covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Work to be Performed:
a. A description of the work to be performed to the Professional Building Back
Parking Lot, 20 E. Olive St., Bozeman, MT 59715 (the “Construction Project”) and
Contractor’s duties is set forth in the Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit A and
by this reference made a part hereof, and in the drawings, plans, and specifications provided
by the City, which are included in the Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit A.
b. Prior to the commencement of any work on the Construction Project,
Contractor’s representatives and City’s representatives shall hold a meeting to establish a
working understanding among the parties as to the scope of the Construction Project and
duties of the Contractor. At this meeting, Contractor and City shall resolve any outstanding
issues related to the plans, designs, drawings, and specifications. If the parties are unable
to resolve these issues and the City fails, refuses, or is unable to approve the same, no work
shall commence on the Construction Project until such issues are resolved and the City
approves the related plans, designs, drawings, and specifications.
c. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Contractor shall furnish
all the labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services necessary to perform and complete
the Construction Project.
d. During work on the Construction Project, and as part of the final completion
of the Construction Project, Contractor shall clean up the Project site, including the removal
and satisfactory disposal of all waste, garbage, excess materials, and equipment, and the
performance of any other work necessary to restore the site to at least as good order and
condition as at the commencement of the Construction Project.

2. City-Supplied Materials: The City may supply materials from time to time in
furtherance of the Construction Project. Such materials will be noted as an addendum to this
Agreement.
3. Time of Performance: Contractor shall begin the Construction Project after
receiving a Notice to Proceed from City and shall complete the Construction Project no later than
December 1, 2024. Time is of the essence of completion of all work and each phase of the
Construction Project.
4. Liquidated Damages: If the Construction Project is not completed within the time
provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project remains
uncompleted the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) from the compensation hereinafter
specified and retain that sum as payment for liquidated damages sustained by reason of the
Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.
5. Compensation:
a. City shall pay to Contractor, and Contractor shall accept as full payment for
the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of Forty-One
Thousand, Seven Hundred and Forty-One Dollars and Twenty Cents. ($41,741.20).
b. If work not included within the original Construction Documents is
requested by City, such additional work and the related compensation shall be agreed to in
writing by both parties prior to commencement of the additional work (“Change Order”).
c. City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total amount of compensation to
be paid to the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the timely completion of the Construction Project and any and all “punch
list” items (“Retainage Amount”). The Retainage Amount shall be paid to Contractor thirty
(30) days after the City’s final acceptance of the portion of work for which a separate price
is stated in the specifications for the Construction Project.
e. Upon acceptance of final payment and for other good and valuable
consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its
officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and in
equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
7
Construction Agreement for Professional Building Back Parking Lot Paving
FY2024-2025
Page 3 of 16
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and
testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.
8

Page 4 of 16
b. All workmanship and materials shall be of a kind and nature acceptable to
the City.
c. All equipment, materials, and labor provided to, on, or for the Construction
Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative
assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally present at the
site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this Agreement until
the completion of the Construction Project.
f. Contractor shall have a complete, accurate, and up-to-date set of
construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field examinations
of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to
be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the types
and character of equipment necessary for the work, the types of materials needed and the
sources of such materials, and the condition of the local labor market.
h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
9
Construction Agreement for Professional Building Back Parking Lot Paving
FY2024-2025
Page 5 of 16
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
Contractor’s compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
10
Construction Agreement for Professional Building Back Parking Lot Paving
FY2024-2025
Page 6 of 16
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.
d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
11
Construction Agreement for Professional Building Back Parking Lot Paving
FY2024-2025
Page 7 of 16
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.
d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
12

Page 8 of 16
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly
waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.

Agreement shall be Lance Dennis, Facilities Service Worker, or such other individual as

SUBJECT:Authorize City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with High
Country Paving for Bozeman Senior Center West Parking Lot Paving
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize City Manager to sign professional service agreement with High
Country Paving for Bozeman Senior Center west parking lot paving.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The western portion of the parking lot at the Bozeman Senior Center has
exceeded its life cycle and requires repaving. The western third of the
parking lot was constructed at a later date than the rest of the lot, and has
experienced wear at a higher rate than the rest of the parking lot. Potholes,
cracks, and standing water have been increasing yearly, requiring repair.
These needs were identified in the Capital Improvements Program as project
number GF365. This project will involve removing and disposing of the
degraded asphalt, grading and compacting the existing road bed, repaving
the parking lot to a depth of 3" of asphalt, and painting/striping the parking
lot. Selected contractor submitted the lowest cost proposal received in
response to a request for quotes directly solicited by the Facilities Dept.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:This project will have a cost of $45,605.20 to be funded from the Facilities
Dept. Capital Improvements budget allocated to CIP project GF365.

relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work

possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an

of the Construction Project.

warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform

h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
28

such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for

committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the

remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.
d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.

Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.

terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
30

other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.

nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Brian Heaston, Senior Engineer
Shawn Kohtz, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
HDR Engineering, Inc., for the WRF Phase 1 Base Hydraulic Capacity Upgrade
Project.
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
HDR Engineering, Inc., for the WRF Phase 1 Base Hydraulic Capacity Upgrade
Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:The WRF Phase 1 Base Hydraulic Capacity Upgrade Project implements
capital improvements recommended in the 2022 WRF Facility Plan. The
facility plan identifies various treatment process improvements and
implementation timeframes necessary to meet the City’s projected 20-year
wastewater treatment needs. The facility plan recommends a future WRF
design capacity of 14.6 MGD. The WRF’s existing design capacity is 8.5 MGD
and is presently operating at about 80% of this capacity.
The Phase 1 project includes the following major scope elements:
1) Design and construction of anaerobic digester no. 4, providing critical
capacity and redundancy upgrades to the WRF’s solids treatment process;
2) Design and construction of UV disinfection process capacity upgrades;
3) Evaluation and installation of hydrocyclone equipment to improve
secondary sludge settleability and optimize bioreactor nutrient removal
capability; and
4) A tertiary filtration study to evaluate effluent filtration technologies and
nutrient removal efficiencies, including wetlands treatment, to inform long-
range nutrient discharge compliance conversations with DEQ and ongoing
public works shops facility planning.
HDR Engineering was selected to provide professional services for this
project pursuant to formal procurement action under Sec. 18-8-204
Montana Code Annotated. Due to the technical complexity of this Phase 1
43
project, the attached professional service agreement (PSA) scope of services
focuses on the pre-design investigation phase. Future PSA amendments for
preliminary and final design and construction administration will be
negotiated upon completion of the pre-design investigation and selection of
preferred alternatives.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:The negotiated cost of the attached PSA with HDR Engineering, Inc. totals
$219,723.00 and is limited to the pre-design investigation phase of the
project. Future PSA amendments will occur, at additional cost, for
preliminary/final design and construction phase services. Professional
engineering services for the Phase 1 project are funded by the FY24
wastewater enterprise fund under CIP Project No. WW129, which contains a
total appropriation of $1,000,000. Adequate funding exists to cover the cost
of the PSA.

Task 200. inDENSE Evaluation
Objective and Approach
inDENSE is a wastewater process technology installed in the aeration basin system’s waste
activated sludge (WAS) line which selectively retains well-settling biomass and selectively
wastes poor settling biomass. It is anticipated that implementation of this technology may
improve clarifier performance, augment secondary treatment capacity, and relieve current
pressures on the nitrification system. However, the actual impacts from inDENSE will not be
able to be quantified without a definite demonstration period at the WRF, which will require
either leasing the equipment or purchasing it outright. There are important cost/benefit
considerations that will determine which choice presents the best path forward, and the
inDENSE evaluation will consider alternatives pertaining to equipment leasing vs. buying and
the manner of installation. The evaluation will provide a recommendation on how to move
forward, and will include a recommendation for how to conduct the most effective pilot and in-
59
4
field pilot process, taking into account considerations such as sunk cost and how to proceed if
the technology is unsuccessful at the WRF.
201. inDENSE Evaluation
Several alternatives will be evaluated during the inDENSE evaluation, including the following
principal pathways:
• Alternative 1. Pilot inDENSE during 3 – 6 Month Demonstration Period
• Alternative 2. Purchase inDENSE without Demonstration Period, Temporary Installation
• Alternative 3. Purchase inDENSE without Demonstration Period, Permanent Installation
For each of these pathways, opinions of probable construction cost (OPCCs) will be quantified,
including any sunk costs that will not be recuperated in the case of unfavorable technology
performance at the WRF. To inform a final recommendation as to how to proceed, the process
Biowin baseline model will be updated to simulate the implementation of the inDENSE system in
the existing WRF process. The model simulation will be used to identify the potential effects of
implementing the inDENSE system, and the model will be adjusted to simulate the following
process changes:
• Increased MLSS in the basins,
• Retention of BNR organisms.
The modeling results will be weighed against the OPCCs for each alternative pathway, and the
consequences of potentially unfavorable real-world performance at the WRF, to provide a
recommendation for moving forward.
Task 200 Deliverables
Deliverable work products consist of the following:
• Technical Memorandum summarizing the results and recommendations of the inDENSE evaluation
• Meeting agendas transmitted to City via e-mail in .pdf format prior to coordination calls
and meetings.
Task 300. Effluent Filtration Study
Objective and Approach
An effluent filtration study will identify an approach and filtration technologies for the WRF,
including wetland tertiary treatment. Materials, costs, and treatment outcomes will be identified.
Head requirements will also be determined to ascertain if filters can be incorporated into the
existing hydraulic profile or whether pumps will be required.
The schedule for the Effluent Filtration Study task will be prioritized in order to provide the City
with our recommendations as they may impact or affect the City’s planning for the shops
complex at the WRF.
60
5
301. Technological Review
The Effluent Filtration Study will determine which filter technology is best suited for the needs of
the WRF. This evaluation will principally evaluate filter performance and what technologies
coincide with the nutrient discharge limits in the Facility Plan Treatment Scenarios but will also
include an evaluation of wetland tertiary treatment that considers data from the recent wetland
pilot study performed by Montana State University.
Tertiary membrane filters (TMF) were presented and recommended in the Facility Plan because
they have a proven ability to meet the required phosphorus limit, but TMF technology is also
expensive. The Effluent Filtration Study will evaluate other filtration options, like sand filters and
cloth media filters, and determine whether they can meet the required phosphorus limit in a
more cost-effective manner. It is anticipated that up to four filtration technologies will be
evaluated.
302. Process Integration Review
The evaluation will consider the physical head requirements of each filter technology and
whether they can integrate into the WRF’s existing treatment train or if pumping will be required.
A preliminary examination of the WRF’s hydraulic profile shows that there is limited available
head between the secondary clarifiers and the UV disinfection system, suggesting that pumping
may be required. If this is the case, HDR will evaluate and determine feasible locations where
pumping equipment/infrastructure can be installed on site and within the physical constraints of
the tertiary treatment train.
Task 300 Assumptions
The fee for this task is based upon the following assumptions:
• Results and data from the wetland pilot study at the WRF will be provided.
Task 300 Deliverables
Deliverable work products consist of the following:
• Effluent Filtration Study delivered electronically,
• Meeting agendas transmitted to City via e-mail in .pdf format prior to Effluent Filtration Study review,
• Notes from meetings, transmitted to City via e-mail in .pdf format.
Task 400. UV & Digester Preliminary Design Report
Objective and Approach
The development of a preliminary design report (PDR) to encompass the design plan for the
new digester (Digester 4) and UV capacity addition. Digester predesign will include an
evaluation of heating and biogas utilization, digester sizing, mixing, and siting of the digester on
61
6
the WRF property. Previous reports, studies, and current loading rates will be reviewed and
design parameters will be updated, as necessary.
401. Digester Design
The PDR will confirm sizing and mixing for Digester 4, which is anticipated to be sized similarly
to Digester 3. The Digester 4 sizing will provide redundancy and a minimum 15-day HRT
through the planning period outlined in the Wastewater Facilities Plan, consistent with Class B
sludge production requirements. The proposed location for Digester 4 will be adjacent to
Digester 3, but this siting will be evaluated against the risk of erosion in this area from the East
Gallatin River. The existing Digester Control Building was designed to accommodate a future
digester with the use of existing piping that is currently available to connect the new digester to
the dewatering process.
Like Digester 3, Digester 4 will process both the WAS and digested PSL stream from Digesters
1 and 2. Given the role of Digester 3 in processing the WAS stream from the bioreactors, and
the accompanying phosphorus load that comes with it, Digester 4 will be designed similarly to
Digester 3 to mitigate the effects of struvite accumulation.
402. Digester Heating and Biogas Utilization
Providing heat is a fundamental component of successful mesophilic anaerobic digester
operation. Digester 4 will require a new heat exchanger and connection to the WRF’s hot water
recirculation system to provide heating. There is room for installation of the new heat exchanger
in the Digester Control Building basement. The WRF’s boilers will require a capacity evaluation
to determine if they can support an additional digester, or if additional boiler capacity will be
required. An option of reusing the biogas from Digester 4 will also be evaluated within the PDR.
403. UV Treatment System Design
The UV system is currently sized to deliver a dosage of 35,000 ɥWatt-sec/cm2 for a peak hour
flow of 16.9 mgd, with expansion capacity in the UV banks to accommodate a peak hour flow of
25.4 mgd. The 2022 Facility Plan Update predicts a 2025 peak hour flow of 17.5 mgd, eclipsing
current peak hour capacity. This task will include evaluation of the upgrade and controls of the
UV system to meet the future needs and flow.
Task 400 Assumptions
The fee for this task is based upon the following assumptions:
• City will provide required information, as requested.
• construction cost will not vary from opinions of probable cost Engineer prepares.
Task 400 Deliverables
Deliverable work products consist of the following:
• Preliminary Design Report, delivered electronically.
62
7
Opinion of Probable Project Costs Assumption
Any opinions of probable project cost or probable construction cost provided by Engineer are
made on the basis of information available to Engineer and on the basis of Engineer's
experience and qualifications and represents its judgment as an experienced and qualified
professional engineer. However, since Engineer has no control over the cost of labor,
materials, equipment or services furnished by others, or over the contractor(s') methods of
determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, Engineer does not
guarantee that proposals, bids or actual project or construction cost will not vary from opinions
of probable cost Engineer prepares.

1. Unless noted or otherwise requested, the fee estimate for the proposed Scope of Services is valid for
60 days from the date of Proposal.
2. All schedules set forth in the attached Scope of Services commence upon receipt of a signed
Agreement unless noted otherwise, and if requested, a retainer. All retainer amounts will be applied
to the last invoice. A RETAINER OF $ 0 IS REQUIRED BEFORE WORK CAN COMMENCE UNDER THE

3. Before DESMAN shall be called upon to provide its services there under, the Client shall provide
DESMAN, in writing, with all necessary information to permit its proper performance of the services
to be provided. DESMAN shall be under no duty or obligation to verify the completeness or accuracy
of the information provided by the Client and shall be entitled to fully rely thereon.
4. Client shall provide the necessary access and right-of-entry for DESMAN to enter the Project site, and
to all shops and yards where materials are prepared or stored in order to allow DESMAN to perform
their services.
5. The Client shall provide DESMAN with sufficient advance notice of required service so as to allow
DESMAN a reasonable period of time to coordinate the assignment of its personnel. If DESMAN is
required to delay commencement of its work, or is required to stop or interrupt the progress of its
work due to action/inaction of Client, additional charges will be applicable and payable by the Client,
which must be documented.
6. DESMAN will not act to enforce the provisions of the contract drawings or specifications. Should

7. Testing results apply only to the material samples actually tested. Test specimens or samples will be
disposed immediately upon completion of the test, unless otherwise agreed.

9. Invoice payments must be kept current for work to continue. If the Client fails to pay any invoice due
to DESMAN within 45 days of the date of the invoice, DESMAN may, without waiving any other claim
or right against Client, suspend services under this Agreement until DESMAN has been paid in full all
amounts due DESMAN and/or any of its Consultants and Subcontractors.
10. DESMAN agrees to carry the following insurance during the term of this Agreement: Workmen's
compensation, General Liability, Professional Liability and Comprehensive Automobile Liability.

agrees to reimburse DESMAN for cost premiums to carry such additional coverage.
11. DESMAN’s liability for any damage on account of any error, omission, or other professional negligence
will be limited to a sum not-to-exceed the fee received under this Agreement. DESMAN, its agents and
employees shall not be liable for any lost profits or any claim or demand against Client by any other
party unless caused by negligence or wanton act or omission of DESMAN. In no event shall DESMAN
be liable for special, consequential or exemplary damages. This provision shall supersede any other
provision in this Agreement that may be deemed inconsistent with it. No action, regardless of form,
arising out of the service under this Agreement, may be brought by the Client more than one (1) year
after the act or omission-giving rise to a cause of action has occurred.
12. The Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold DESMAN, its officers, employees, and agents harmless
from any and all claims, suits, losses, costs, and expenses, including but not limited to, court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees arising or alleged to have arisen out of or to have resulted from the
performance of DESMAN’s work on or about the subject Project, and caused in whole or in part by
any negligent, willful, or wanton act or omission of the Client.

prevailing party the costs expended by the prevailing party to defend against such action including
reasonable attorney's fees, witness fees, and other related expenses.
14. DESMAN shall not be responsible for failure to perform or for delays in the performance of work,
which arise out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of DESMAN.
15. In entering into this Agreement, Client has relied only upon the warranties or representations (a) set
forth in this Agreement; or (b) implied in law. No oral warranties, representations or statements shall
be considered a part of this Agreement or a basis upon which the Client relied in entering into this

REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Tom Rogers, Senior Planner
Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Deputy Director of Community Development
Anna Bentley, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:Resolution 5568, A Resolution of Intent to Amend the Future Land Use Map
of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020, on 7.644 acres for Property
Generally Located on the Northeast Corner of South 19th Avenue and Graf
Street, Application 23063
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Adopt Resolution 5568 setting dates for public hearings.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.1 Informed Conversation on Growth: Continue developing an in-depth
understanding of how Bozeman is growing and changing and proactively
address change in a balanced and coordinated manner.
BACKGROUND:An application has been submitted to change the future land use map on
17.485 acres from Urban Neighborhood to Community Commercial Mixed
Use. The property is located between Arnold and Graf Streets and east of
South 19th Avenue. State law requires the City Commission adopt a
resolution of intent as the first formal step in review of an amendment to
the growth policy. The resolution of intent advises the public of the
upcoming review and generally sets required public hearings before the
Community Development Board in their capacity as the planning board and
before the City Commission. No final action to amend the growth policy is
taken with this resolution.
A similar application was reviewed and not approved by the Commission on
February 6, 2024, Application 23063. However, this is a significantly revised
application by reducing the area to modify the future land use from 17.5 to
7.6 acres.
The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 [External PDF Link] (BCP 2020) is a
fundamental policy document guiding further growth and community
development in Bozeman. It sets forth Bozeman's future growth policy for
land-use and development. The purpose of the Plan is to guide the City’s
community planning and to evaluate and prioritize the City’s actions moving
forward. It reflects the community’s shared values and priorities. The Plan is
85
the City’s long-range growth policy that meets the statutory requirements of
Section 76-1-601 of the Mont. Code Ann.
Bozeman’s first comprehensive plan (growth policy) was adopted in 1958.
The City has replaced the growth policy six times since then to respond to a
growing community and most recently in 2020 adopting the BCP 2020. State
law requires review every five years after the plan is adopted. In addition to
the required review, the City Commission; independently or at the
suggestion of the Planning Board or the City Staff; one or more landowner of
property that are the subject of the amendment to the future land use map;
and interested members of the public may suggest modifications to the text
or map.
Chapter 5 of the BCP 2020 describes who can request an amendment and
how to evaluate the application. The City Commission has considered five (6)
Growth Policy Amendments (GPA) from 2020 to 2024 including the repeal
and replacement of the current BCP 2020. Individual applications to amend
the Future Land Use Map include:
Application 20021. Blackwood Groves GPA, hearing date June 8, 2020,
Resolution 5176, [External Video Link] time stamp 1:02:30.
Application 21309. South 3rd GPA, December 7, 2021, Resolution 5367,
[External Video Link] time stamp 0:33:25.
Application 21318. Mountains Walking GPA, November 23, 2021, Resolution

Resolution 5447, [External Video Link] time stamp 1:52:30.
Application 23063. SRX North GPA, February 6, 2024 [External Video Link ].
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:There are no unresolved issues with the Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
will be changed by this Growth Policy Amendment. Future development will
incur costs and generate review according to standard City practices.

section shall be interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its duties and responsibilities to plan
for and complete the work in a timely manner according to the Construction Schedule.

provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project remains

Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.

consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its

equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and

testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.

performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative

of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to

lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be

Artwork at any time. Contractor bears the risk of loss for the Artwork up and until the title
of the Artwork transfers to the City.
n. For one-year from installation, Contractor expressly warrants that its
installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

Page 8 of 23
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly

waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.

18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it

to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of

related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may

any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.

notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is

contact information with the City.

compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion,

West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

1) Sculptures and mounting details will be closely coordinated with the City of Bozeman to ensure required
clearances are maintained. 30 feet of vertical clearance to be maintained over dumpster tip pads.
2) Prior to installation, the DBP will provide the City a structural engineer report with mounting details,
elevations, and height for review and approval. See the following pages for the preliminary design.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access
to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d world
to the 3-d world, the urban adventure can be realized through “on
the horizon”. Front Elevation

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening
the connection of the 2-d world to the 3-d world the water adventure can be realized through the fish eye Lens.

building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and

testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any

retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform

installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any

the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.
15. Representatives and Notices:
a. City’s Representative: The City’s Representative for the purpose of this
Agreement shall be Ellie Staley or such other individual as City shall designate in writing.
Whenever approval or authorization from or communication or submission to City is
required by this Agreement, such communication or submission shall be directed to the
City’s Representative and approvals or authorizations shall be issued only by such

other designated City personnel or agents and may receive approvals or authorization from
such persons.
b. Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor’s Representative for the
purpose of this Agreement shall be Rob Evans or such other individual as Contractor shall

16. Locating Underground Facilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
and determining the location of any underground facilities, including but not limited to, the
location of any pipelines or utility supply, delivery, or service lines in accordance with the
provisions of §69-4-501, et seq., Montana Code Annotated (MCA). Contractor shall make every
effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage
that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities,
this fact shall be noted in writing prior to commencement of such location work.
17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the timely
completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it
is installed. Until installation and title transfers, Contractor remains the owner of the Artwork. See
paragraph 9 of this Construction Agreement for Artwork-specific warranties which apply only to
the Artwork and not to the Construction Project in its entirety. For the Artwork, the Parties agree
to sign a Transfer and Assignment of Copyright for Public Artwork, attached as Exhibit D, prior
to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of
this Agreement, Contractor and its sub-contractors which are providing murals and other artwork
related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may
arise under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”), 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(A) and 113(d) or
any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.
Contractor agrees to provide Exhibit D and Exhibit E to its subcontractors for the
Artwork. Contractor must return executed copies to the City at the time title transfers. Once the
Transfer of Copyright for Public Artwork is executed, the City will become copyright owner and
take title in and to the Artwork, and any and all drawings, sketches, models, and any other
documents or materials created by the Contractor in furtherance of the Artwork. The Contractor
agrees to deliver to the City all such materials within five (5) working days of title transfer.
19. Maintenance, Repairs, and Alterations of the Artwork. The City recognizes that
due to the nature of the Artwork, maintenance is essential. Upon transfer of the title of Artwork
and legal ownership passes to the City, as set forth in paragraph 18, the City retains full discretion
and responsibility to maintain and protect the Artwork. The City retains the sole right to determine
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

whether, when, and to what extent any repairs to the Artwork will occur. The City is not obligated
to provide the Contractor or any of its subcontractors for the Artwork notice before undertaking
any repairs or modifications to the Artwork. However, the City shall endeavor to notify the
Contractor of any proposed alteration of the Artwork. Contractor is responsible for maintaining a
current contact person and contact information to receive such notice. If Contractor receives such
notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is
under no obligation to provide notice to the Contractor if the Contractor fails to maintain such
contact information with the City.
Because the Artwork is attached to the City’s property, Contractor agrees to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the City against any and all liability, damage, loss, or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation, incurred by the City for any and all claims
raised under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
Should the City determine that the removal or extraction of the Artwork is necessary,
Contractor retains first priority to reclaim physical possession of the Artwork. In such an instance,
Contractor is responsible for all associated costs of such removal.
20. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state and
federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all workers’
compensation laws, all environmental laws including, but not limited to, the generation and
disposal of hazardous waste, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules,
codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City,
County, and State building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all non-
discrimination, affirmative action, and utilization of minority and small business statutes and
regulations.
21. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay: Contractor agrees that all hiring by Contractor
of persons performing this Agreement shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Contractor
will have a policy to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state
and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts. Contractor shall not refuse
employment to a person, bar a person from employment, or discriminate against a person in
compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion,
creed, political ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual
orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of
the position require an age, physical or mental disability, marital status or sex distinction.
Contractor shall be subject to and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section
140, Title 2, United States Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.

suffer the introduction or use of any intoxicants, including alcohol or illegal drugs, upon the site
of the Construction Project. Contractor acknowledges it is aware of and shall comply with its

governing anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention plans and related testing. City shall have the
right to request proof of such compliance and Contractor shall be obligated to furnish such proof.

and agents in proper and specified work methods and procedures. The Contractor shall provide
continuous inspection and supervision of the work performed. The Contractor is responsible for
instructing its employees and agents in safe work practices.

be paid to the Contractor’s employees and the frequency of such payments (i.e., hourly
wage employees shall be paid weekly). Such posting shall be made in a prominent and
accessible location at the site of the Construction Project and shall be made no later than
the first day of work. Such posting shall be removed only upon the final completion of the
Construction Project and the termination of this Agreement.
b. In performing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the work on
the Construction Project, Contractor shall give preference to the employment of bona fide
residents of Montana, as required by §18-2-403, MCA, and as such, term is defined by

Labor and Industry and which are applicable to Gallatin County. Contractor shall pay all
hourly wage employees on a weekly basis. Violation of the requirements to pay applicable
prevailing wage rates may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in §18-2-407,
MCA. Contractor shall maintain payroll records and provide certified copies to the City.
Contractor shall maintain such payroll records during the term of this Agreement, the
course of the work on the Construction Project, and for a period of three (3) years following
the date of final completion of the Construction Project and termination of this Agreement.
d. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and throughout the
course of Contractor’s performance of the Construction Project, any labor problems or
disputes of any type arise or materialize which in turn cause any work on the Construction
Project to cease for any period of time, Contractor specifically agrees to take immediate
steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from City, to alleviate
or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific steps Contractor shall take to
resume work on the Construction Project shall be left to the discretion of Contractor;
provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action.
Contractor shall provide immediate relief to the City so as to permit the work on the
Construction Project to resume and be completed within the time frames set forth in the
Construction Schedule at no additional cost to City.

payment, including a proportional part of the retainage Contractor has received from the

connection with the Construction Project. If the Contractor allows any indebtedness to accrue to
subcontractors or others during the progress of the work, and fails to pay or discharge the same

West Mural (1)
Artist: Stella Nall
West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

NOTES
1) Sculptures and mounting details will be closely coordinated with the City of Bozeman to ensure required
clearances are maintained. 30 feet of vertical clearance to be maintained over dumpster tip pads.
2) Prior to installation, the DBP will provide the City a structural engineer report with mounting details,
elevations, and height for review and approval. See the following pages for the preliminary design.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

Description:
“On the Horizon” is a large bobcat sculpture that brings attention
to the possibilities of Urban adventure in the Bozeman area. This
figure represents the methods of exploring the downtown area
on the ground level, just like how a bobcat would explore the
wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access

to the 3-d world, the urban adventure can be realized through “on

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening
the connection of the 2-d world to the 3-d world the water adventure can be realized through the fish eye Lens.

SUBJECT:
Approve Final Ordinance No. 2161 for the Zoning Text Amendment to Table
38.320.040.E to Reduce the Minimum Rear Yard Setback for Lots Abutting
Alleys in the Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) Districts Citywide;
Application No. 24055
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Legislative
RECOMMENDATION:
Final approval of Ordinance No. 2161 for a Zoning Text Amendment to
Amend Table 38.320.040.E of the Bozeman Municipal Code to Reduce the
Minimum Rear Yard Setback for Single-Household, Townhouse/Rowhouse,
Townhouse/Rowhouse Clusters, Two to Four Household, Group Living and
Apartment Housing Dwelling Types on Lots Abutting Alleys in the Residential
Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) Districts Citywide; Application No. 24055
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:
This Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) application was submitted by the Bridger
Land Group, developers of the Blackwood Groves subdivision which lies
within a Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) District. This is a request to
amend Table 38.320.040.E of the City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) to
reduce the rear yard setback for residential lots abutting an alley in REMU
Districts. The rear setback would be reduced from ten (10) or fifteen (15)
feet to six (6) feet for single-household, townhouse/rowhouse,
241
townhouse/rowhouse clusters, two to four household, group living and
apartment type dwellings on lots with alley access within REMU Districts,
citywide. On May 6, 2024, the Community Development Board, acting as the
Zoning Commission, recommended an amendment to the Applicant’s
proposal which would limit the reduced setback to single-household,
townhouse/rowhouse and two-to-four dwelling buildings. Apartment
buildings and group housing facilities would remain with a 10-foot rear alley
setback. On May 21, 2024, the City Commission considered the Applicant’s
original proposal and the Zoning Commission’s recommended amendment
and voted unanimously to approve the Applicant’s original proposal which is
reflected in the provisional Ordinance 2161 and this Final Ordinance 2161.
This Final Ordinance No. 2161 amends Table 38.320.040.E to reduce the rear
setback for single-household, townhouse/rowhouse, townhouse/rowhouse
clusters, two to four household, group living and apartment housing types
on lots abutting an alley within REMU Districts, citywide.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:None suggested.
FISCAL EFFECTS:
Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time but will include increased
property tax revenues from assessment of the larger home that can be built
on alley-abutting lots due to the reduced rear yard setback. No new costs to
deliver municipal services is anticipated because no new housing would
result, only a larger building footprint per lot.

Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 5 of 28
The REMU zoning standards were first created in 2011 by Ordinance 1802. The minimum rear
yard setback in the REMU District was established at 10-feet for small, single-household lots [less
than 4,000 square feet (sf) in size]; at 15-feet for single-household lots at or greater than 4,000 sf
in size; and at 10-feet for all other wholly-residential (not mixed use) housing type lots
(townhouse/rowhouse, townhouse/rowhouse clusters, two- to four-household dwellings, group
living and apartments). The Applicant seeks to maximize the footprint of buildings on alley-loaded
lots in the REMU Districts, particularly for single-household dwellings with detached or attached
alley-loaded garages, by reducing the rear setback to from 10- or 15-feet to 6-feet.
SECTION 1 –BOARD DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Community Development Board, acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission, held a
public hearing on this text amendment on May 6, 2024.
During the meeting, Community Development staff Susana Montana provided an overview of the
Applicant’s proposed ZTA and presented a summary of how the proposal meets applicable MCA
and UDC statute criteria for evaluating and approving zoning regulation amendments. This
evaluation of the statute criteria are detailed below in Section 3 on page 16 of this report.
There was no written or oral public comment on the proposal for the Board to consider at this
meeting. The Applicant made a detailed presentation of how the reduced rear yard alley setback
would meet the MCA and UDC criteria and would address relevant City Growth Policies. The
Applicant stated that he agreed with staff findings and recommendation for approval.
Following the staff and Applicant’s presentations, no public comment, Board Member Egnatz
made a Motion and Board Member Delmue seconded the Motion to begin the Board discussion
process. Questions of staff, comments and discussions from Board Members include the
following:
Topic: Public health, public safety, and general welfare
Public Safety MCA Criteria B, C and F
As noted in Section 3 below on page 17, a zoning text amendment (ZTA) must address state
adopted criteria. Staff has grouped discussion items of the Community Development Board
according to the criteria.
Criterion B and C are mandatory criteria for approval of a zoning text amendment. Board
Members inquired as to how the reduced building setback along an alley would address Criterion
B—securing the community’s safety from fire and other dangers, and Criterion C--promoting the
public health, safety and general welfare. Board Member Egnatz stated that he disagreed with the
staff finding of Criterion B and C, that the reduced setback “would dissuade motorists from parking
within a setback in front of an alley accessed garage, resulting in blocking passage of other
256
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 6 of 28
travelers along the alleyway, including emergency service vehicles. Thus, the proposed ZTA
would tend to promote or advance public health, safety and general welfare as noted in the City’s
Community Plan and in Section 38.100.040 purpose of the UDC” [page 20 below] and
“Neighborhoods with more blocks with alleyways would offer pedestrians and cyclists greater
choices for travel throughout the neighborhood with less traffic than through the abutting streets.
This would have a marginal effect on motorized transportation systems in REMU neighborhoods
to the extent that induces developers to provide more blocks with alleys. Blocks with alleys are
expected to facilitate safer pedestrian and bicycle travel off of busier streets” [page 21 below].
Board Members asked for “hard metrics” that demonstrate that blocks with vehicle access to lots
from alleys would induce pedestrians and cyclists to travel the alleys rather than along the busier
street fronting the lots and, therefore, would have a safer travel experience than traveling along the
street frontage. They wanted to know potential negative effects of the reduced setback along the
alley regarding dangers from pedestrian/bicycle/vehicle conflicts.
During the meeting, staff did not have this pedestrian/vehicle collision data from City records.
After the meeting, Community Development staff asked Fire Chief Josh Waldo and Deputy Chief
of the Police Department (PD) Andy Knight if they have records of such events. Available data
showed City had a citywide average of 9.8 pedestrian/vehicle collisions per year reported over the
2018-2023 period. The collision records for do not detail with or without blocks with alleys.
The finding by staff that the ZTA meets Criteria A, B and C is based on staff observations and
anecdotal reports given to staff over recent years. Whether or not a reduced setback of 6-feet
would positively address Criteria B, securing the community’s safety from pedestrian/vehicle
conflict dangers, and Criteria C, securing the public health, safety and general welfare, by reducing
pedestrian/vehicle conflicts along the street frontage of blocks with alleys is not verifiable with
collision records.
Scale and Massing and Light and Air of Criterion E
The proposed amendment allows the principal building to be at the 6-foot setback rather than the
current allowance for only an accessory building to be at the 6-foot setback. Board Members
expressed concern that a reduced setback from 10- or 15-feet to 6-feet along the alley for apartment
buildings that are permitted to be five stories in height could have a negative impact or result for
the specific block and surrounding neighborhood. Board Members stated that a 6-foot rear setback
for 50- or 60-feet tall apartment buildings along a 20-foot wide alley would likely result in a scale
and massing that would be dark and overwhelming to the human scale, particularly if both sides
of the alley had 5-story buildings built to the 6-foot setback line. This may produce a visual
“canyon effect” along the alley which would have a negative impact on providing adequate light
and air to the lots along the subject block. Board Members wanted to differentiate the smaller (35
to 44 feet tall) single-household, townhouse, rowhouse or two-to-four dwelling structures along
the alley from the up to 5-story multi-family/apartment structures to avoid this canyon effect.
257
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 7 of 28
Since the ZTA Applicant testified that he did not specifically intend to reduce the rear setback for
group living or apartment buildings, it was recommended unanimously by Board Members that
group living facilities and apartment buildings be removed from the reduced setback Table
38.320.040.E and, instead, the table to be amended to have those housing types retain the 10-feet
minimum setback. Table 38.320.040.E would be amended to add a column for the group housing
and apartment residential uses and the amended table would establish their setbacks at 10 feet as
is shown in Figure 2. With these changes, the Board opined that the ZTA would meet Criterion
E—provide for the reasonable provision of adequate light and air to the affected community.
Five feet rear alley setback versus a six feet setback
Board Members discussed whether this reduced rear alley setback ZTA amendment should be
included in the proposed citywide UDC amendment, referred to as the UDC update. The
September 7, 2023 Draft ReCode proposal recommends a 5-foot rear setback for all housing types
in the REMU Districts. The ZTA Applicant was asked by Board Members why he did not propose
a 5-foot rear alley setback instead of the 6-foot rear setback for lots with alley access. The
Applicant responded:
(1) He did not want to wait for the UDC update process to conclude because they have a block
with an alley that is designed with single-household dwellings with an attached garage accessed
from the alley with a 6-foot setback that is ready for development now;
(2) for this specific ZTA application he wanted to request just minor changes to the UDC to
accomplish their development objectives for their REMU block and the Applicant believes the 6-
feet rear alley setback would be a minimal change to Table 38.360.040; and
(3) the Applicant also intended to amend Table 38.320.040.E to be consistent with other sections
of the existing UDC such as the current rear yard setbacks for detached accessory structures found
in Section 38.360.030.I which requires a minimum 6-foot rear yard setback except a 20 foot
setback is required when parking is provided between the structure and rear property line
(“stacked” parking in a driveway).
Public Benefits of this ZTA
Board Members indicated that all zone text amendments should provide a public benefit in order
to qualify for approval. Board Members asked staff to identify the public benefits of the proposed
ZTA. Staff responded that the REMU District’s intent and purpose is to provide a variety of
housing types, along with a mixture of neighborhood-serving commercial uses. The REMU
District seeks to (1) incorporate a wider range of housing types; and (2) provide flexibility in the
258
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 8 of 28
placement and design of new developments and redevelopment to anticipate changes in the
marketplace.
Blocks with alleys within REMU subdivisions can accommodate smaller lots which could result
in more affordable lots and lower priced dwellings with attached garages accessed from the alley.
Facilitating smaller lots and homes and a mix of housing types in the REMU Districts citywide
would be the principal public benefit of the reduced rear alley setback as amended by the Board.
As noted in the staff evaluation of Criterion B and F on pages 20 and 22, the rear setbacks in
REMU Districts are allowed to be parking spaces but only if they meet required dimensional
standards in 38.540.020. The 15- foot, 10-foot or 6-foot setbacks cannot accommodate a parked
vehicle along the standard 20-foot wide alley as vehicles are typically 18- to 24-feet in length. The
rear alley setback to access a garage, carport or surface parking of a lot located along an alley can
only accommodate a short “pause” for a motorist awaiting the garage door to fully open.
Public Comment
The Board Chair asked if there was any public comment provided before the meeting or was
being offered at the hearing in person or on-line. None was offered
Post-Discussion Board Action
After considering the Applicant’s proposed ZTA, the staff report, the staff presentation,
the Applicant’s presentation, and their own Discussion, the Board voted to amend the
proposed ZTA.
The maker of the original Motion, Mr. Egnatz, made a Motion to amend the original Motion to
amend Table 38.320.040.E separating out the group housing and apartment housing types into a
new column and retaining the 10-foot rear setback for those structures in the REMU District. The
Board voted 6 to 1 to approve the amended Motion presented in the title block of this report. The
Board forwarded its recommendation to the City Commission.

The ZTA amendment to Table 38.320.040.E would apply to all wholly-residential lots whose
rear yards abut an alley within REMU Districts citywide. It would apply to all structures
abutting the alley whether it be the primary (attached) structure or an accessory (detached)
garage.

SECTION 3 - TEXT AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
In considering applications for approval under this title, the advisory boards and City Commission
must consider the following criteria (letters A-I) found in Section 76-2-304 of the Montana Statutes
Annotated (MCA). As an amendment is a legislative action, the Commission has broad latitude to
determine a policy direction. The burden of proof that the application should be approved lies with
the applicant.
A zone text amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy (criteria A) and be designed
to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B), promote public health, public safety, and
general welfare (criteria C), and facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a text amendment the
Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E-I, and may find the text amendment to
be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the zone text
amendment, the Commission must find that the positive outcomes of the amendment outweigh
negative outcomes for criteria E-I. In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff considers the
entire body of regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigate negative
impacts are incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38,
Unified Development Code.
Where a finding of Neutral is presented, it represents that the criteria is either not applicable to the
proposed amendments or that the change does not materially advance or detract from compliance.
Therefore, a finding of Neutral is not an indication of a deficiency in the proposed amendments or
the existing standards.
Having considered the State Statute criteria established for a zoning text amendment, the Staff
evaluated the amended ZTA Table 38.320.040.E against the MCA and UDC criteria for approval
and finds the criteria for approval of this CDB-recommended amendment have been met.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the application as amended.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the original ZTA application and did not
identify infrastructure deficiencies associated with the proposed amendment.
The following is an evaluation of the Applicant’s original and the City Commission’s approved
Ordinance No. 2161 amending Table 38.320.040.E of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC).
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Is the new zoning text in accordance with the City’s growth policy?
Yes. Overall, this criterion is met.
Staff Evaluation: The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 describes planning principles and “growth
policies” listed as Themes, Goals, Objectives and Actions. As described below, the proposed text
amendment satisfies the following growth policies of the Community Plan and staff has found no
267
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 17 of 28
such policy that would be violated by the proposed zoning text amendment (ZTA). Therefore, this
criterion is met.
The proposed text amendment would apply to all lots abutting alleyways that lie within the REMU,
Residential Emphasis Mixed Use zoning districts. The REMU District is an implementing district
of the Residential Mixed Use future land use map (FLUM) designation of the Community Plan
(see Figure 5). The Residential Mixed Use designation promotes:
“neighborhoods substantially dominated by housing yet integrated with small-scale.
commercial and civic uses. The housing can include single-attached and small single-
detached dwellings, apartments, and live-work units. If buildings include ground floor
commercial uses, residences should be located on upper floor. Variation in building mass,
height, and other design characteristics should contribute to a complete and interesting
streetscape”[page 53, Community Plan].
Overall, whether the alley rear yard setback is 10-, 15- or 6-feet in depth has no bearing on the
value or utility of a home or its garage along the alley because a vehicle cannot legally park in the
setback area of either size setback since those dimensions do not meet the standards for parking in
38.540.020. This setback is not allowed “stacked” parking and not deemed a driveway for parking
purposes. A minimum 5-, 6-, 10- or 15-feet setback from the alley property line would provide (1)
sufficient visual distance for a passersby motorist, pedestrian or cyclist traveling along the alley to
see/notice a vehicle backing out from a garage accessed from the alley; (2) sufficient distance from
the alley for snow storage and placement of a trash receptable on trash days; and (3) sufficient
distance for a motorist driving into or out of a garage to make one or more turning movements to
reach the garage or alley travelway. These are the purposes of a rear setback along an alleyway.
How does the proposed reduced rear setback along alleys in REMU districts address the
intent of the Residential Mixed Use land use designation? The intent and purpose of the REMU
District is to establish areas within Bozeman that are mixed-use in character and to provide options
for a variety of housing, employment, retail and neighborhood service opportunities within a new
or existing neighborhood [UDC 38.300.110.F]. Alleyways within REMU districts are encouraged
and are intended to facilitate the development of a variety of types and sizes and, perhaps,
affordability, of housing.
Pursuant to UDC Section 38.510.030.M.2(j), if an alley is adjacent to a site, access must be taken
from that alley. Access to a street may be considered by the review authority. Per 38.510.010.B
this standard does not apply to one to four-household dwellings.
With the purpose of an alley rear setback and the purposes of the REMU District in mind, the
reduced rear setback for wholly-residential developments on lots with rear alley access positively
address the following growth policies of the 2020 Community Plan.
268
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 18 of 28
2020 Community Plan Policies
Theme 1 seeks a Resilient City: “Resilient communities rebound, positively adapt to, and thrive
amidst changing conditions or challenges and maintain quality of life, healthy growth, durable
systems and conservation of resources for present and future generations.”
Policy R-1.7: “Be flexible: willingness and ability to adopt alternative strategies in response to
changing circumstances.”
R-2.6: “Innovation: Advance new approaches and techniques that will encourage continual
improvement and advancement of best practices.”
Staff Evaluation: A reduced rear yard setback for blocks of housing with garages accessed from
an alley would represent the flexibility sought to encourage development of homes which
accommodate the “market-tastes” of a variety of households, particularly those who wish to
present an attractive urban façade to the house along the street rather than encumber the street
frontage with a garage and to those who wish to enter their homes from the rear yard.
Theme 2: A City of Unique Neighborhoods.
Goal N-1: Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods.
Policy N-1.1: Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing.
Goal N-3: Promote a diverse supply of quality housing units.
N-3.1: Establish standards for provisions of diversity of housing types in a given area.
N-3.7: Support compact neighborhoods, small lot sizes, and small floor plans, especially through
mechanisms such as density bonuses.
N-3.8: Promote the development of “Missing Middle” housing (side-by-side or stacked duplex,
triplex, live-work, cottage housing, group living, rowhouses/townhouses, etc.) as one of the most
critical components of affordable housing.
Staff Evaluation: The reduced rear setback for lots abutting an alley would facilitate a mix of
housing types and sizes in REMU neighborhoods by allowing larger building “footprints”/greater
utilization of the land for the principal house or the principal house and an Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) and a garage accessed from the alley. The visual character of residential blocks that
have garages accessed by a mid-block alley may appeal to residents who wish to “present” more
attractive and personalized house designs, facades and landscaping than can be achieved with
street-facing and accessed garages. The proposed reduced rear alley setback may induce and
facilitate use of the alley to access the garage. The changed standard will further distinguish the
269
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 19 of 28
built environment in the REMU district from other residentially oriented districts that have
different rear setback requirements.
Theme 3: A City bolstered by Downtown and Complementary Districts.
Goal DCD-1: Support urban development within the City.
Goal DCD-3: Ensure multimodal connectivity within the City.
DCD-3.6: Evaluate parking requirements and methods of providing parking as part of the overall
transportation system for and between districts.
Staff Evaluation: The reduced rear setback for blocks with an alley would support compact
development in REMU Districts where they lie in the city. Reducing the rear setback for alley-
loaded lots would induce and facilitate greater development of such block forms. Blocks with
alleys may create more attractive pedestrian and bicycle routes through neighborhoods as there are
fewer conflicts with motor vehicles crossing the sidewalks and bike routes/lanes, than through
streets with front-facing garages.
The remaining Community Plan Themes have policies that do not speak directly to the proposed
ZTA and the proposed ZTA is neutral toward and does not negatively affect any of the remaining
policies:
Theme 4: A City influenced by our Natural environment, parks, and open lands.
Theme 5: A City that prioritizes accessibility and mobility choices.
Theme 6: A City powered by its creative, innovative and entrepreneurial economy.
Theme 7: A City engaged in regional coordination.
B. Will the new zoning secure the community’s safety from fire and other dangers?
Yes. This criterion is met. Staff Evaluation: The current rear setback for a garage accessed from
an alley in the REMU District would have a 10- or 15-foot depth of driveway fronting the alley.
No “stacked” parking of a vehicle within the current or proposed 6-foot setback from the alley
could occur. Any rear setback of less than 20-feet is not deemed or allowed as a driveway for
parking.
A typical vehicle length is from 18 to 24 feet and no such vehicle can “park” in a driveway of 10
or 15 feet in length. However, many people try anyway. Experience across the City has shown that
vehicle areas should either be standard parking size or very obviously too small to park. A vehicle
entering the garage from the alleyway would likely stop the vehicle next to the garage while
awaiting the opening of an automatic garage door this would be different with a 10-foot, 15-foot
or the ZTA 6-foot rear yard setback along the alley. Other travelers along the alley would wait
their “turn” to travel the alleyway while the motorist is navigating into or out of the garage.
270
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 20 of 28
Vehicles are not permitted to parallel park alongside a 20- or 30-foot wide alley in order to assure
emergency vehicle access and, perhaps, solid waste disposal trucks to pass through the alleyway.
Development of garages lying 6-feet from a 20- to 30-feet wide alley would have sufficient “back
up” and turning movement area within the alley for vehicles parked within the rear yard garages
to access the alley in a safe manner. Although, a 24-foot long truck parked in a garage with a 6-
foot long driveway will likely have to engage in several turning movements in order to safely exit
the alley and may have to forego a property line fence in order to provide adequate sight visibility
for backing out of the garage. This would be true for a 10-, 15-, 6- or 5-foot setback from the alley.
C. Will the new zoning promote the public health, public safety, and general welfare?
Yes. This criterion is met with the amended Table 38.320.040.E. Staff Evaluation: As noted above,
the ZTA would allow but not require a minimum reduced rear yard setback of 6-feet for lots that
abut an alley in the REMU District and that have a garage or carport that is accessed from the
alley. This amendment to Table 38.320.040.E would apply to residential developments of single-
household dwellings, townhouse/rowhouse or townhouse/rowhouse cluster developments, two-to-
four household dwellings, group living and apartment dwelling types.
The reduced setback would allow lot owners to utilize the land area of the lot more fully for the
house and garage. The 6-foot minimum depth of a rear setback to a garage or carport, rather than
the current 10- or 15-foot setback, would dissuade motorists from parking within the setback,
resulting in blocking passage of other travelers along the alleyway, including emergency service
vehicles. Thus, the proposed ZTA would tend to promote or advance public health, safety and
general welfare as noted in the City’s Community Plan and in Section 38.100.040.E purpose of
the UDC.
D. Will the new zoning facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage,
schools, parks and other public requirements?
Yes. This criterion is met. Staff Evaluation: The City conducts extensive planning for municipal
transportation, water, sewer, parks, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The
adopted plans for these services and facilities allow the City to consider existing conditions and
identify enhancements needed to provide additional service needed by new development or new
or reuse of a property. The subdivision application process assures that these services would be
available and provided to any new development lot within the City, including all REMU lots. The
proposed text amendment does not alter any requirements or standards associated with the
provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements.
271
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 21 of 28
E. Will the new zoning provide for the reasonable provision of adequate light and air to
the affected community?
Yes. This criterion is met with the ZTA. The reduced rear yard setback for alley-loaded garages or
carports would maintain light and air to adjacent lots and along the alleyway. The Applicant has
designed their Blackwood Groves Subdivision Block 8 homes with a 6-foot rear yard setback from
an attached or detached garage and the ZTA would accommodate that design.
F. Will the new zoning have an effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation
systems?
Yes. This criterion is met. Staff Evaluation: The proposed reduced rear yard setback in REMU
Districts for lots that about an alley from the current 10- or 15-feet to 6-feet is expected to induce
the development of residential blocks with mid-block alleyways due to the possibility to make
more efficient use of the land on individual lots for buildings, rear yards and other personal space
within the lot. More neighborhoods with blocks with alleyways would offer pedestrians and
cyclists greater choices for travel throughout the neighborhood because alleys induce less traffic
than the abutting streets. This would have a marginal effect on motorized transportation systems
in REMU neighborhoods to the extent that the change induces developers to provide more blocks
with alleys. Blocks with alleys are expected to facilitate safer pedestrian and bicycle travel away
from the busier fronting streets. Vehicle access through alleys removes pedestrian/vehicle conflict
that can occur where vehicles must cross the sidewalk to access a garage facing the street.
With the smaller rear setbacks of this ZTA, developers of land in REMU Districts may perceive it
advantageous to build smaller lots that are accessed by alleyways, making more efficient use of
residential land. It is noted that neither a 10-foot, 15-foot or a 6-foot setback between a garage
and the alley will support a “stacked” parking space in the driveway. A vehicle entering or exiting
a garage accessed from a 20-foot wide alley may require several turning movements. This may
increase congestion in alleys during peak morning and evening periods when both sides of the
alley may have resident motorists engaged in multiple turning movements to get out of (in the
AM) or into their garage (in the PM). Other residents along the particular alley learn to “share” the
alley during these peak AM and PM periods or seek more flexible hours for their vehicle travels.
Parking is required for housing in the REMU District at the same rate as for other residential
districts: 1 space for 1 bedroom homes and 2 spaces for 2 or more bedroom homes. To the extent
that households have to park more vehicles than can be accommodated in the rear yard garage,
there will be increased parking congestion on area streets because parking is not permitted along
alleys. However, for blocks with alley access to a garage, there would be more street frontage
available for parking spaces. It is anticipated that curb-side/on-street parking in front of one’s lot
would create fewer pedestrian/vehicle conflicts than lots with a driveway accessed from the street
frontage.
272
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 22 of 28
A 10- or 15-foot deep setback from a garage accessed from an alley could not accommodate
“stacked” parking in the driveway but it would likely reduce the turning movements required to
get into or out of the alley-fronting garage. The reduced 6-foot rear alley setback may result in a
few moments of delay while a motorist maneuvers into an alley garage, but it is not expected to
have any additional parking congestion on the alley, street frontage, or any additional pedestrian
congestion on the street frontage sidewalk.
G. Does the new zoning promote compatible urban growth?
Yes. This criterion is met. Staff Evaluation: The REMU District’s intent and purpose seeks to
create urban, predominantly residential mixed use neighborhoods with parks, trails and
neighborhood-serving non-residential uses therein. In particular, the REMU District seeks to (1)
incorporate a wider range of housing types; and (2) provide flexibility in the placement and design
of new developments and redevelopment to anticipate changes in the marketplace. As shown in
Figures 2 and 3 above, most REMU Districts are located at the edges of the City, rather than in the
urban core or downtown. However, within each REMU neighborhood, development provides the
density, block and lot configurations, open space, streets and trails connectivity that reflects urban
development.
All REMU Districts must have an approved Master Plan which positively addresses Community
Plan growth policies. All REMU Districts create their own neighborhoods, some of which may
be lower density or suburban in character and some of which may be high density and quite urban
in character. Combined, the REMU neighborhoods must address the intent and purposes of the
District and, in particular, to incorporate a wider range of housing types and to provide flexibility
in the placement and design of new developments to anticipate changes in the marketplace. The
reduced rear setback to 6-feet for the smaller residential buildings on lots abutting alleys is
expected to facilitate these objectives. A reduced rear alley setback for the taller apartment and
group housing buildings have the potential for creating a block with greater height and building
massing that could be marginally out of scale with other abutting housing types such as single-
duplex or four-plex homes.
Section 38.700.040, Definitions, of the UDC offers the following definition of “compatible
development”.
“Compatible development. The use of land and the construction and use of structures
which is in harmony with adjoining development, existing neighborhoods, and the goals and
objectives of the city's adopted growth policy. Elements of compatible development include,
but are not limited to, variety of architectural design; rhythm of architectural elements; scale;
intensity; materials; building siting; lot and building size; hours of operation; and integration
with existing community systems including water and sewer services, natural elements in the
area, motorized and non-motorized transportation, and open spaces and parks. Compatible
development does not require uniformity or monotony of architectural or site design, density
or use.”
273
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 23 of 28
The ZTA to reduce rear yard setbacks along alleyways furthers the REMU objectives of compact,
walkable development and compatible urban growth.
H. Does the new zoning address the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for
particular uses?
Yes. This criterion is met with the ZTA. Staff Evaluation: The “peculiar suitability” of residential
or mixed use development in REMU Districts is its principle of providing a mix of housing types
in the form of compact development, with mixed uses, and “complete streets” that “accommodate
pedestrians, bicycles, buses, automobiles and wintertime snow storage and work in concert with
internal property accesses and adjacent development to create a connected and vibrant public
realm [UDC 38.330.020.B.1].”
Alleys in residential blocks provide mid-block access for pedestrian and bicycle travel through
neighborhoods, taking these travelers off the busier streets. Providing alleys in residential blocks
provide vehicular access to private garages along the alley, resulting in the street-side façade of
homes on the block emphasizing pedestrian-scale entries, porches, landscaping and architectural
treatments that individualize each home within the typically smaller lots within the compact
development block.
A reduced rear yard setback by this ZTA application would facilitate the residential compact
development peculiarity sought by the REMU District. Having alleys with a reduced rear yard
setback of 6-feet or, even, 5-feet would facilitate development of the smaller lots that are currently
desired by housing renters and buyers. These smaller lots with alley access have garages with no
driveway “stacked” parking and, with only a 20- or 30-foot wide alley, no parking along the alley,
forcing the garage to fully contain the vehicles.
I. Is the new zoning adopted with a view to conserving the values of buildings and of
encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area?
Yes. This criterion is met with the ZTA. The ZTA would address new buildings rather than existing
buildings within REMU Districts. New residential lots with alley access may have a premium
value over lots without an alley due to the convenience of parking in a garage accessed by the alley
and the ability to have a more attractive front façade, entries and landscaping over homes with a
garage facing the street (“snout homes”). The reduced rear yard setback would allow a larger
building footprint on the lot which would be assessed for property tax marginally higher than a lot
meeting the larger setback.
The reduced rear yard alley setback for wholly-residential dwellings would facilitate compact
development of a variety of types and sizes of housing in REMU Districts, citywide. This would
positively address the REMU District principles and objectives. The REMU District is largely
found in newly annexed areas of the city’s edges. The City Commission carefully reviews
annexation applications and accompanying REMU District proposals to determine the REMU
274
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 24 of 28
District’s suitability for the site, area and the City. The Commission carefully determines that the
new District, at that location, would positively address relevant policies of the Community Plan
and the intent of the REMU District. Any future zone map amendment will likewise be evaluated
for all the state zoning criteria and, if adopted, the change in garage setback will be part of that
evaluation. Larger REMU areas are required to have a master site plan to consider the distribution
of uses that provides a further and more specific level of site design before any lots are designed
and constructed.
SECTION 4 - PROTEST NOTICE FOR ZONING AMENDMENTS
In the case of written protest against the proposed ZTA, protests signed by the owners of 25% or
more of the area of the lots or units within any REMU zoned area or those lots or units within 150
feet from a lot included in REMU District, the amendment shall not become effective except by
the favorable vote of two-thirds of the present and voting members of the City Commission.
The City will accept written protests from property owners against the proposed text amendment
referred to in this notice until the close of the public hearing before the City Commission. Pursuant
to 76-2-305, MCA, a protest may only be submitted by the owner(s) of real property within the
area affected by the proposal or by owner(s) of real property that lie within city limits affected by
the proposal. The protest must be in writing and must be signed by all owners of the real property.
In addition, a sufficient protest must: (i) contain a description of the action protested sufficient to
identify the action against which the protest is lodged (including the application number, 24055);
and (ii) contain a statement of the protestor's qualifications (including listing all owners of the
property and the physical address), to protest the action against which the protest is lodged,
including ownership of property affected by the action. Signers are encouraged to print their names
after their signatures. A person may in writing withdraw a previously filed protest at any time prior
to final action by the City Commission. Protests must be delivered to the Bozeman City Clerk,
121 North Rouse Ave., PO Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771-1230.
APPENDIX A - BACKGROUND AND APPLICANT’S RATIONALE FOR THE ZONE
TEXT AMENDMENT
Background
In 2018, the City revised its Unified Development Code to (1) adapt to changing community needs,
(2) streamline review processes, (3) create new zoning districts, (4) implement the North 7th
Corridor Plan, (5) further implement the Growth Policy Plan, and (6) generally simplify the UDC.
The 2009 Bozeman Community Plan (previous plan) and Bozeman Community Plan 2020 (current
plan) both encourage mixed use development patterns.
275
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 25 of 28
In 2011, the City Commission established the new REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed Use)
zoning district to encourage development of residential neighborhoods with neighborhood-serving
establishments as described below in the UDC Section 38.300.110.F. REMU objectives relevant
to this ZTA application are noted in bold text.
“Residential emphasis mixed-use zoning district (REMU). The intent and purpose of the
REMU district is to establish areas within Bozeman that are mixed-use in character and
to provide options for a variety of housing, employment, retail and neighborhood
service opportunities within a new or existing neighborhood. These purposes are
accomplished by:
1. Emphasizing residential as the primary use, including single household
dwellings, two to four household dwellings, townhouses, and apartments.
2. Providing for a diverse array of neighborhood-scaled commercial and civic uses
supporting residential.
3. Emphasizing a vertical and horizontal mix of uses in a compact and walkable
neighborhood setting.
4. Promoting neighborhoods that:
a. Create self-sustaining neighborhoods that will lay the foundation for healthy
lifestyles;
b. Support compact, walkable developments that promote balanced
transportation options;
c. Have residential as the majority use with a range of densities;
d. Provide for a diverse array of commercial and civic uses supporting
residential;
e. Have residential and commercial uses mixed vertically and/or horizontally;
f. Locate commercial uses within walking distance;
g. Incorporate a wider range of housing types; and
h. Encourage developments that exhibit the physical design characteristics
of vibrant, urban, and pedestrian-oriented complete streets.
5. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize a sense of place:
a. Support or add to an existing neighborhood context;
b. Enhance an existing neighborhood's sense of place and strive to make it more
self-sustainable;
c. Encourage a new neighborhood commercial center(s) with a unique identity
and strong sense of place;
d. Develop commercial and mixed-use areas that are safe, comfortable, and
attractive to pedestrians; and
e. Reinforce the principle of streets as public places that encourage
pedestrian and bicycle travel, transit, on-street parking and physical
elements of complete streets.
6. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize natural amenities:
a. Preserve and integrate the natural amenities into the development; and
276
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 26 of 28
b. Appropriately balance a hierarchy of both parks and public spaces that are
within the neighborhood.
7. Providing standards and guidelines that emphasize the development of centers:
a. Group uses of property to create vibrant centers;
b. Where appropriate create a center within an existing neighborhood;
c. Facilitate proven, market driven projects to ensure both long and short-term
financial viability;
d. Allow an appropriate blend of complementary mixed land uses including, but
not limited to, retail, offices, commercial services, restaurants, bars, hotels,
recreation and civic uses, and housing, to create economic and social vitality;
e. Foster the master plan development into a mix of feasible, market
driven uses;
f. Emphasize the need to serve the adjacent, local neighborhood and as well as
the greater Bozeman area; and
g. Maximize land use efficiency by encouraging shared use parking.
8. Promoting the integration of action:
a. Support existing infrastructure that is within and adjacent to REMU zones;
b. Encourage thoughtfully developed master planned communities;
c. Provide flexibility in the placement and design of new developments and
redevelopment to anticipate changes in the marketplace;
d. Provide flexibility in phasing to help ensure both long and short term
financial viability for the project as a whole;
9. Providing standards and guidelines that promote sustainable design.
Use of this zone is appropriate for sites at least five acres in size and areas located
adjacent to an existing or planned residential area to help sustain commercial uses
within walking distance and a wider range of housing types.”
Staff Comment: Since 2011, several REMU Districts have been established, mostly along the outer
edges of the city (see Figures 2 and 3 above) where the Community Plan’s Future Land Use
Designation Map (FLUM) allows the REMU District to locate (see Figure 4). The REMU District
is an implementing zone for the Urban Residential, Residential Mixed Use, and Community
Commercial Mixed Use land use categories of the FLUM. As shown on the FLUM, the
Neighborhood Residential land use designation is the most abundant category. REMU, as a
comparatively new zoning district is generally located along the edges of the city. This amendment
would also apply to any future zone map amendments to REMU.
The Blackwood Groves REMU-zoned subdivision was established in 2022 and, at that time, was
at the southwestern edge of the city. Since then, several more properties have been annexed and
designated REMU.
Within the Blackwood Groves subdivision, a number of residential blocks are under construction
or have been completed and are occupied. The Applicant is currently proposing construction of
the first block within the subdivision that has a 20-feet wide mid-block alleyway abutting lots
277
Alley Rear Yard Setback Reduction in REMU Districts ZTA; Application 24055 Page 27 of 28
ranging in size from 5,000 to 6,200 square feet. These lots are proposed for single-household
dwellings with garages accessed from the alley.
Applicant’s Rationale for the Zone Text Amendment
It is noted that the Applicant has prepared a development proposal for one of the Blackwood
Groves REMU residential blocks which feature a 20-foot wide mid-block alley. The 5,000 square
foot lots along this block feature attached garages accessed from the alley with only a 6-foot rear
yard setback. The Applicant states that the 6-foot rear setback allows a more efficient use of land
within each lot. The Applicant offers the following rationale for how this reduced setback would
better accommodate the design of homes with garages on small lots [note that UDC Table
38.320.040.E defines small lots as between 2,500 and 4,000 square feet in size]:
“Most commercial/mixed use districts specially call out alley setbacks, REMU doesn’t, and
this leads to confusion throughout the document and in the diagrams. Our application aims to
simplify these areas to eliminate any confusion and conflicts between the diagrams for the
REMU District.”
“Detached structures are allowed to be 6’ off the alley (if 20’ ROW) but primary structures
are required to be a minimum of 15’.”
“Our proposal is to implement a 6’ alley setback. This creates uniformity for both detached
and attached structures.”
“Having wider alleys defeats the true purpose of the alley. When alleys are wider, they tend
to encourage both higher rates of speed and more primary traffic. These two conditions
dramatically decrease the safety of the alley. Alleys are intended to be back-of-house
functions and should warrant lower rates of speed. In order to encourage this behavior alleys,
need to be tighter. This is one the reason this condition is allowed currently for detached
structures. Our intent is to allow this for primary structures as well. The Draft Proposed UDC
aims to remedy this as well. The Draft proposes a 5’ alley setback.”
• RE: REMU Section 38.300.110.F.4.b – Support compact, walkable developments that
promote balanced transportation options. “6’ alley setback is more conducive for smaller
lots thus supporting a more compact development.”
• REMU Section 38.330.020.B.1.e – on-street parking should be maximized wherever
feasible. “6’ alley setback requires parking in the garage or on-street – not wasting rear
yard space for hardscape to store vehicles.”
• REMU Section 38.330.020.B.4. Alleys. Alleys are encouraged, but not required, in the
REMU District. “Having the 6’ alley setback encourages developments to utilize more
alleys as it creates more options for lot development to provide for a variety of housing
types.”

Fiscal impacts are undetermined at this time but will include increased property tax revenues from
assessment of the larger home that can be built on the alley lots due to the reduced rear yard
setback. No new costs to deliver municipal services is anticipated because no new housing would
result, only a larger building footprint.

BACKGROUND:
A major subdivision preliminary plat of a 45.83 acre property to create 112
residential lots, 3 undevelopable development lots, street rights-of-way,
street public easements, and 1 City park lot. Development of the subdivision
would take place in three phases. The undevelopable lots, Lot 1, Block 8, Lot
1, Block 9 and Lot 1, Block 10, totaling 18.332 acres require further
subdivision review. The subdivision land was recently rezoned from R-1, Low
Density Residential to R-2, Moderate Density Residential to allow the smaller
lot sizes (Ordinance No. 2159, Project No. 23047).
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:None suggested
280
FISCAL EFFECTS:
Fiscal effects are undetermined at this time but any development occurring
as a result of this subdivision would increase property tax revenue to the
City, along with increased costs to deliver municipal services to the property.

Project Description
The Department of Community Development received a Preliminary Plat Application on April 4,
2022, requesting to subdivide 45.83 acres to create 110 residential lots which would primarily be
suitable for townhome development, one 7.52 acre park, street easements and rights-of-way and 3
undevelopable lots totaling 18.3 acres for future subdivision and future residential development.
The site is former farmland and is zoned R-2. The property will have access from Arnold Street
to the north, from W. Graf Street to the south, and from South 11th Avenue to the east.
Development of the subdivision would take place in three phases as shown below in Exhibits 7
and 8.
283
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 3 of 36
The subdivision land was recently rezoned from R-1, Low Density Residential to R-2, Moderate
Density Residential to allow smaller lot sizes (Ordinance No. 2159, Project No. 23047).
The undevelopable/restricted development Lot 1, Block 8, Lot 1, Block 9 and Lot 1, Block 10,
totaling 18.332 acres, require further subdivision or, if developed as one lot, a site plan review.
On May 15, 2024, the Development Review Committee (DRC) found the application sufficient
for continued review and recommends the conditions and code provisions identified in this
report.
The final decision for this preliminary plat must be made by June 28, 2024.
Alternatives
1. Approve with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Continue the public hearing on the application, with specific direction to staff or the
subdivider to supply additional information or to address specific items.
SECTION 1 –PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Community Development Board, acting in their capacity as the Planning Board, held a public
hearing on this major subdivision preliminary plat on June 3, 2024.
During the meeting, Community Development staff Susana Montana provided an overview of the
Applicant’s proposal and presented a summary of how the proposal meets applicable MCA and
UDC statute criteria for evaluating and approving subdivisions. This evaluation of the statute
criteria are detailed below in Section 6 on pages 20 to 29 of this report.
There was no written public comment presented prior to the meeting and there were two people
providing comment on the proposal at the meeting. Their comments are noted below in Appendix
B on page 31.
The Applicant made a brief presentation of the elements of the proposed subdivision and answered
Board Member’s questions about the project. The Applicant stated that he agreed with staff
findings and recommendation for approval except for the language of one Code Provision. Code
Provision No. 4 prohibits basements and the Applicant requested that basements be permitted if a
geotechnical engineer certifies that they would be safe and suitable. This request and the Board
discussion about basements are summarized below.
284
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 4 of 36
Following the staff and Applicant’s presentations and public comment, Board Member Murphy
made a Motion and Board Member Egnatz seconded the Motion to begin the Board discussion
process. Comments and discussions from Board Members include the following:
Townhome design
Board Members commented that providing townhomes is an important contribution to the mix of
housing types and for housing diversity in the City and for this area. They could provide more
affordable housing for “missing middle”-income households than single-household, detached
homes. However, the Board commented that it is critically important that the townhome designs
within the subdivision be high quality. Townhome design can be dignified and beautiful like the
“brownstone” townhomes of New York City. If the design of these rows of attached houses are
poor and they are built of poor quality, this subdivision could result in a negative image of
townhome developments and may result in poor public acceptance of future townhome
development elsewhere in the City. The Board recommended that the subdivision CC&Rs include
conditions for high quality design of the townhomes.
Basements
Board Members support the ability to build basements in the homes within this subdivision. The
Applicant noted that Code Provision No. 5 in the CDB staff report prohibits basements in homes
due to high groundwater levels within this Site. A Board Member requested that the Board amend
the Motion to ask the City Commission to revise the Code Provision language to allow basements
on lots provided a licensed geotechnical engineer certifies the basement would be safe from
flooding and would not cause discharge of water onto the street and into City storm drains. Board
Members shared that they like basements in homes that provide additional space for laundry
facilities and storage. Basements can provide additional living space for growing families at a
nominal cost.
Although Board Members supported basements and the amendment to the Code Provision to allow
them when certified they are suitable for a home lot by a licensed geotechnical engineer, Board
Members did not feel they were qualified to recommend that change to the Commission without
concurrence from the City engineer. The Board asked staff to check with the Project Engineer to
see if the Applicant’s proposed amendment to Code Provision would be acceptable. If it is, then
the amendment could be included in the staff report to the Commission. If it isn’t, then the
Applicant’s request should be brought directly to the Commission for their discussion and
decision, with staff bringing the Project Engineer’s rationale for the prohibition of basements in
this subdivision to the Commission for their consideration.
[Staff Comment: The Project Engineer conferred with the Engineering Division Manager and
proposed the following substitute Code Provision No. 4 regarding the provision of basements:
285
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 5 of 36
“BMC 38.220.070.7.b - The Conditions of Approval Sheet shall contain the following, "No crawl
spaces or basements will be permitted with future development of the site unless a professional
engineer registered in the State of Montana certifies that the lowest point of any proposed structure
is located above the seasonal high groundwater level and provides supporting groundwater data
prior to release of building permit. In addition, sump pumps are not allowed to be connected to the
sanitary sewer system. Sump pumps are also not allowed to be connected to the drainage system
unless capacity is designed into the drainage system to accept the pumped water. Water from sump
pumps may not be discharged onto streets, such as into the curb and gutters where they may create
a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles."
It is noted that, as described on pages 23 and 24 of the staff evaluation section of this report, the
groundwater report showed the groundwater level at a December reading was at 15 feet and in the
Spring and early Summer months [April to July] readings found groundwater at 8.5 and 9.5 feet.
Due to these high spring groundwater levels, basements are not allowed within buildings within
this Site except if, on a case-by-case basis, a licensed geotechnical engineer certifies that the
basements will be safe from flooding and would be suitable for the specific lot, as noted in Code
Provision No. 4. By this Code Provision, the subdivider and his geotechnical engineer assume all
risks from damage to structures and contents due to flooding should it occur.
In no case will sump pumps be allowed, nor floodwaters from basements, should it occur, be
allowed to be discharged to the sidewalk and street which can cause a slip hazard to travelers
and/or can overburden the City’s stormwater capacity in the area.
The Applicant, as the subdivider, has accepted the revised Code Provision language.
BonTon Park
Board Members commented that the proposed parkland at the northwest corner of the Site should
be maintained by the City Parks Department rather than the subdivision homeowners’ association
(HOA).
[Staff Comment: The BonTon Park will be dedicated to, and maintained by, the City.]
Trail Connectivity
It is important that the subdivision provide multi-modal connectivity to the park for all homes and
to parkland and trails throughout the area. The Board looks forward to connectivity to the adjacent
Gallagator Trail. There was comment about the one-foot-no-vehicle-access easement along S. 11th
Avenue and W. Graf Street as a condition of approval for the subdivision. The 10-foot wide
sidewalk along those streets would get the bicycle traffic off the street. The no driveways along
S. 11th Avenue would provide more on-street parking for alley-accessed abutting homes.
286
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 6 of 36
Water Conservation
It was remarked that this is a large subdivision and should be provided with large areas of plantings,
trees for shading, and irrigation. The irrigation system should incorporate water conservation
measures.
After discussion, the Board voted on the Motion which passed unanimously, 7 to 0.

SECTION 5 – RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
On May 15, 2024, the Development Review Committee (DRC) determined the application was
sufficient for continued review and recommended approval with conditions. On June 3, 2024, the
Planning Board recommended approval of the subdivision preliminary plat with conditions and
code provisions. The Board also supports the Applicant’s request to allow basements in homes
provided a licensed geotechnical engineer certifies it would be safe and suitable. Code Provision
No. 4 reflects both the Applicant’s and the Board’s recommendation.
SECTION 6 – STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Analysis and resulting recommendations are based on the entirety of the application materials,
municipal codes, standards, plans, public comment, and all other materials available during the
review period. Collectively this information is the record of the review. The analysis in this report
is a summary of the completed review.
Applicable Subdivision Review Criteria, Section 38.240.150.B, BMC.
In considering applications for subdivision approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
301
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 21 of 36
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The preliminary plat was prepared in accordance with the surveying and monumentation
requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered
in the State of Montana. The final plat must comply with State statute, Administrative Rules of
Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman Municipal
Code. The subdivider is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions not specifically
listed as a condition of approval, do not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the
lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3 and 4 of this report
identify conditions and code provisions necessary to meet all municipal standards. The listed code
requirements address necessary documentation and compliance with standards. Therefore, upon
satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections, the subdivision will comply with the
subdivision regulations.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
Based on the recommendation of the Development Review Committee (DRC), the Planning
Board, and other applicable review agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the
matter, the City Commission will make the final decision on the conditional approval of the
Preliminary Plat.
The subdivider requested review of this subdivision under the terms of 76-3-623/MCA as
authorized in 38.240.100, seeking expedited review in 35 working days after the application is
deemed complete (sufficiency).
The Department of Community Development received a preliminary plat application on April 4,
2023. The DRC reviewed the preliminary plat application and determined the submittal did not
contain detailed, supporting information that was sufficient to allow for the continued review of
the proposed subdivision. In fact, the lot sizes are not permitted in the underlying R-1 zoning
district. Subsequently, the Applicant applied for a rezoning of the property to an R-2 designation
for the residential lots and to PLI designation for the Block 10 parkland Lot 2A, Project 23047.
On April 23, 2024, the rezoning Ordinance No. 2159 was provisionally approved by the City
Commission, and on May 7, 2024 the Commission granted final adoption of the rezoning and it
became effective on June 7, 2024. Therefore, this subdivision will be in compliance with the R-2
zoning with regard to lot size and densities on June 7, 2024.
A revised subdivision application was received on September 1, 2023, November 28, 2023,
January 20, 2024, March 20, 2024 and May 15, 2024. The DRC determined the application was
302
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 22 of 36
adequate for continued review on May 15, 2024 and recommended conditions of approval and
code corrections for the staff report.
Public Notice. The Applicant posted public notice on the subject property on May 10, 2024 and
on that date sent the public notice to landowners of record within 200-feet of the subject property
via first class mail. No written public comment had been received on this application as of the
writing of this report. Two persons commented on the proposal at the June 3, 2024, Planning Board
Meeting and their comments are noted in Appendix B of this report, page 31.
On June 6, 2024, this major subdivision staff report was completed and forwarded with a DRC
and Planning Board recommendation of conditional approval for consideration to the City
Commission.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
The DRC reviewed all of the preliminary plat submittals against all applicable regulations of the
Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) and the application complies with the BMC and all other
relevant regulations with the conditions and code corrections noted in Sections 3 and 4. This report
includes Conditions of Approval and required code provisions as recommended by the DRC for
consideration by the City Commission to complete the application processing for final plat
approval.
All municipal water and sewer facilities will conform to the regulations outlined by the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality and the requirements of the Design Standards and
Specifications Policy and the City of Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard
Specifications.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation
of any necessary utilities
The final plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements as noted
in Code Requirement No.1 which requires all easements, existing and proposed, to be accurately
depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities are located
within dedicated street right of ways.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the
notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel
The final plat will provide legal and physical access to each lot within the subdivision. All of the
proposed lots will have frontage on public streets constructed to City standards with lot frontage
meeting minimum standards shown on the preliminary plat. However, access to lots fronting on
South 11th Avenue and West Graf Street will have a 1-foot no access easement noted and shown
on the final plat. This is to ensure that driveway access to those alley-loaded lots is provided from
the alley and not from the South 11th Avenue or W. Graf Street frontages which are designated as
303
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 23 of 36
collector streets. The existing bike lane on S. 11th Avenue within the street right-of-way (ROW)
will be provided by a ten-foot-wide sidewalk along both of those frontages. On-street parking will
be permitted on South 11th Avenue with the Applicant removing the bike lane and restriping the
street to allow for on-street parking adjacent to the residential lots (see Condition of Approval No.
2).
38.220.060. Documentation of compliance with adopted standards
The DRC completed a subdivision pre-application plan review on November 9, 2022 and no
variances were requested at that time. The DRC is recommending conditional approval of the
current, revised application with the conditions and code provisions noted above in Sections 3 and
4.
Staff offers the following summary comments on the documents required with Article
38.220.060, BMC, Compliance with Adopted Standards.
38.220.060.A.1 – Surface water. There is one unnamed irrigation ditch lateral that flows
through the subject property. This lateral starts from the Alder Creek Subdivision to the south and
flows northward underneath W. Graf St. It then flows north by northwest across the subject
property (“Site”) to the existing ditch located in the planned alignment of Arnold St north of the
Site. In meeting with the owner of water rights in the area, the Middle Creek Ditch Company, it
was stated that water has not flown through this lateral for a few years. The downstream water
users obtain their water via another ditch to the west, offsite of the subject property. There are no
wetlands on this Site.
38.220.060.A.2 – Floodplains. The Site is located within the FEMA Panel 30031C0818E.
The majority of the Site lies within Zone X, which is the designation used for areas where there
minimal flood hazards.
38.220.060.A.3 – Groundwater. Groundwater monitoring wells were drilled on site in December
of 2022 to monitor the groundwater throughout the 2023 high-water season. In December of 2022
the groundwater depth across the Site was approximately 13.5 feet. According to the Project’s
November 2023 Stormwater Report, “Groundwater monitoring was conducted during the
highwater season in 2023 [April through July]. Nine monitoring wells were observed, and the
depths of the groundwater were recorded. The shallowest groundwater measurement was 8.1ft
from the surface at well #7, which is the well nearest the irrigation lateral ditch on the west side of
the subject property. Most of the wells were dry at roughly 9.5 ft deep throughout the highwater
season with some recording groundwater intermittently between 8.5 ft and 9.5 ft.”.
Due to these high spring groundwater levels, basements are not allowed within buildings within
this Site except if, on a case-by-case basis, a licensed geotechnical engineer certifies that the
basements will be safe from flooding and would be suitable for the specific lot, as noted in Code
304
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 24 of 36
Provision No. 4. By this Code Provision, the subdivider and his geotechnical engineer assume all
risks from damage to structures and contents due to flooding should it occur. In no case will sump
pumps be allowed, nor floodwaters from basements, should it occur, be allowed to be discharged
to the sidewalk and street which can cause a slip hazard to travelers and/or can overburden the
City’s stormwater capacity in the area.
38.220.060.A.4 - Geology, Soils and Slopes.
a. Geologic hazards.
There are no known geologic hazards, areas of instability, or unusual soil, topographic or geologic
conditions present on site. The site topography slopes at a 1.5% in a northeasterly direction.
b. Protective measures. As aforementioned, there are no known geologic hazards, areas of
instability, or unusual soil, topographic or geologic conditions present on site. Therefore, no
additional protective measures are proposed to prevent, or material lessen the danger of future
property damage or injury due to any of the hazards.
c. Unusual features. There are no unusual features on site. There are no unusual soils, topographic
or geologic conditions on the property, which will limit the capability for building or excavation
using ordinary reasonable construction techniques. There is no known presence of the following
on site: shallow bedrock, high water table, unstable or expansive soil conditions, and slope. The
site topography slopes at a 1.5% in a northeasterly direction.
d. Soils map. The NRCS soils map overlaid with the subdivision shows that the majority of the
Allison Subdivision Phase IV contains 350B soils.
e. Cuts and fills. Proposed road and lot grades will not exceed 3-percent and slope work will not
exceed a 4:1 horizontal to vertical ratio. Cuts/fills required during construction will be minor and
will be less than three feet deep. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be
required to be approved before any construction begins. The SWPPP will contain Best
Management Practices (BMPs) that will be required to be implemented during construction that
will manage sediment and minimize erosion during construction. The SWPPP will also require
revegetation.
38.220.060.A.5 – Vegetation. The current site is an undeveloped tract historically used for
agriculture. Native vegetation is mainly reed grass, tufted hairgrass, prairie cordgrass, sedges and
shrubs. The Site is a stubble field and there are no steep areas, unstable slopes, or vegetation on
soils highly susceptible to wind or water erosion
38.220.060.A.6 – Wildlife. The Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has evaluated the
site and does not have any fish and wildlife concerns at this time. It is noted that a small herd of
“neighborhood” wild but “habituated” deer are frequently observed feeding upon the Site and area
throughout the year.
305
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 25 of 36
During construction a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) will be required to be
issued and implemented to prevent unclean stormwater runoff during construction to enter
the waterway. Because this area has historically been used for agriculture, it has not been a vital
habitat for wild animals. All land included in streets, avenues, alleys, and public parks will be
donated to the City of Bozeman for public use and enjoyment. The subdivision does not interfere
with public access to any existing public areas. The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC&R) document provides for the maintenance of streets, open space lots and the Park lot by the
Homeowners’ Association (HOA) as does the Certificate of Dedication signature block on Sheet
1 of the Preliminary Plat which will be carried forward to the final plat.
a. Species. Describe species of fish and wildlife which use the area affected by the
proposed subdivision.
The area has historically been used as agricultural land and therefore is not a significant habitat
for wildlife. The occasional deer and birds have been spotted on site.
b. Critical areas. Identify on a plat overlay or sketch map of the proposed subdivision any
known critical, significant or "key" wildlife areas, such as big game winter range,
waterfowl nesting areas, habitat for rare or endangered species or wetlands.
As aforementioned, the land has historically been used as agricultural land and is currently a
stubble field. No known critical, significant, or “key” wildlife areas are known to exist on site.
Therefore, no plat overlay is included here because there are no such wildlife areas on site.
c. Pets/human activity. Describe the expected effects of pets and human activity on
wildlife. The subdivision will be subject to the City of Bozeman animal control laws that require
licensing of pets and leashes on dogs.
d. Public access. Describe the effects on public access to public lands, trails, hunting or
fishing areas. This site has no public access to public lands or hunting and fishing areas.
e. Protective measures. Describe any proposed measures to protect or enhance wildlife
habitat or to minimize degradation (e.g., keeping building and streets back from
shorelines, setting aside marshland as undeveloped open space).
As aforementioned, no significant wildlife areas exist on site. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
states that they do not have any fish and wildlife concerns.
38.220.060.A.7 – Agriculture.
a. Number of acres in production and type of production.
The majority of the property is, and has been, in hay production (approximately 20 acres).
b. Agricultural operations in the vicinity, and other uses of land in the general vicinity.
306
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 26 of 36
The surrounding area to the north, east, and south is residential development. The area to the
west has been used for hay production in past years.
c. The productivity of the land.
The land has been productive for hay production. According to the NRCS Soils Map, the
majority of the site consists of Blackmore silt loam, which is considered prime for farmland.
d. Whether or not the property is part of a viable farm unit, and whether the property was
under production during the last regular season.
The property is not part of a viable farm unit. The property has been leased for agricultural
development, but the owners plan to develop it for residential use now and into the future. The
site is surrounded on two sides with residential development.
e. What measures will be taken, if any, to control family pets.
All pets will be required to be constrained to home lots, or if on shared open space animals must
be kept on a leash per the City of Bozeman requirements. The covenants and restrictions address
controlling family pets.
f. Fencing of agricultural land. No known fence lines around the subdivision boundary exist
that protect agricultural lands under an ownership other than that of the developer.
38.220.060.A.8 - Agricultural Water User Facilities. The Site is and was previously used for
the production of hay. Other land in the vicinity is used for production of hay and for residential
and commercial purposes.
An existing irrigation lateral ditch starts from the Alder Creek Subdivision to the south and
flows northward through the Site. This lateral starts on the southside of the subject property
and extends north by northwest across the west boundary then west on the adjacent property.
Peg Easton, who is the president of the Middle Creek Ditch Company and owns the water
shares to the ditch lateral, was first contacted via email on 07/25/23 with questions pertaining to
the ditch. A notice was sent out on 10/24/23 showing the Applicant’s intent to reroute the ditch on
the subject property. Ms. Easton is the lateral ditch person approving the realignment of the north
end of this ditch to go around the proposed Jarrett Subdivision parkland area and back into the
existing ditch on the north side of the park Block 10, Lot 2A. This new alignment is generally
consistent with the existing flow and will not impact any downstream users. The north ditch is
currently located in the planned alignment of Arnold St which is being designed by Stahly
Engineering.
All impacted ditches still in use will be piped to allow for continued conveyance of water rights to
downstream users. The alignments of the piped ditches will be generally consistent with the
307
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 27 of 36
existing flow line of the ditch. If any realignment is determined to be necessary, it will comply
with all relevant requirements of State law.
38.220.060.A.9 - Water and Sewer. New water and sewer infrastructure will be installed on site
to serve the development’s residents. The sewer and water mains will provide service to the
residents of Jarrett Subdivision and are designed to tie into and supply future phases. The sewer
mains will connect to the existing City of Bozeman system in Arnold Street and S. 11th Avenue.
The water mains will be looped and connect to the existing City of Bozeman system in Arnold
Street, South 11th Avenue, and Graf Street.
a. Water rights. Sec. 38.410.130 - Water Adequacy. Subject to subsections B and C, prior to final
approval by the review authority of development occurring under this chapter or chapter 10, the
Applicant must offset the entire estimated increase in annual municipal water demand attributable
to the development, pursuant to subsection D. Per Code Requirement No. 12, payment-in-lieu of
water rights must be made for the lots prior to final plat approval.
Per Code Requirement No. 12, cash-in-lieu of water rights (CILWR) are proposed to be paid prior
to final plat approval. However, compliance with subsection C.2 is deferred for the Blocks 7, 8
and 9 until the occurrence of future development, provided the Applicant records a notice of
restriction on future development in a form acceptable to the review authority with the Gallatin
County Clerk and Recorder: Individual lots of a subdivision final plat planned for future multiple-
household development.
Per Code Provision 12.d, a note must be included in the conditions of approval sheet indicating
the Blocks and Lots which will require future payment of cash-in-lieu of water rights upon future
development.
38.220.060.A.10 - Stormwater Management. The Site is currently undeveloped. Stormwater
management within the subdivision will be accomplished with the combination of surface/gutter
flow, pipe conveyance, and detention facilities. Monolithic curb and gutters and valley gutters will
be utilized to transfer stormwater to the drain inlets, which will be connected to the closed
conveyance piping collection system. The collection system will be designed to convey the 25-
year storm event. The location of the curb inlets and piping will be dependent on the final roadway
and grading design.
The stormwater basins and flow control structures will control and meter the discharge of the
increased flow to the 10-year pre-development flows and will help remove solids, silt, oils grease
and other pollutants from the stormwater.
Stormwater Detention Ponds
The detention pond on the corner of Arnold Street and Bon Ton Avenue in Allison Subdivision
Phase IV was designed with this subdivision in mind. In general, the runoff from this subdivision
308
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 28 of 36
will drain northeast into the curb inlets on site and be piped across S. 11th Ave to the pond in
Allision Subdivision Phase 4A.
The stormwater management system was designed and sized per the City of Bozeman Design
Standards. Each pond is sized to accommodate more than the required volume, has 4:1 minimum
side slope and is 1.5 ft deep maximum with 6" depth of freeboard.
The runoff coefficients (C) were determined from Table I-1 of the City of Bozeman Design
Standards. Although the property will be both medium and high density residential, the runoff
coefficient for high density residential was used for the entire subdivision to be conservative
during the early design stage. Detention pond volume calculations are provided in this section.
The proposed detention facilities will be maintained by subdivision’s Homeowners Association as
noted in the CC&R document as noted in Code Requirement No. 8. Maintenance activities will
include periodic inspection, mowing of grasses in the basin and adjacent areas, weed control,
removal of trash, and maintenance of the basin flow control structure and outlet piping to ensure
the system functions properly.
38.220.060.A.11 - Streets, Roads and Alleys
The Site is located within the South 11th Street and Graf Street Payback District boundaries. Per
Condition of Approval No. 1, if the subject property did not participate in the original cost of
construction of improvements the subject property will be assessed, and must pay, a payback
charge prior to final plat approval.
Per Condition of Approval No. 2, a 1 foot "No Access" strip shall be placed along the South 11th
Avenue and West Graf Street frontages for the full length of the development in order to keep curb
cuts and turning movements into driveways off those collector roadways.
All lots will meet the minimum lot size and street frontage. Access will be provided to the
Subdivision from S 11th Ave, Graf St, and Arnold St. Arnold St will be extended from the
existing S 11th Ave at the roundabout to the west. Local streets will extend off these existing
roads and loop through the subdivision. S 11th Ave is a collector on the 2017 Bozeman
Transportation Plan and Arnold is a hybrid local street with a 70’ ROW, parking and bike lanes.
Except Arnold St, all new streets will be constructed as local roadways and will meet at the
applicable standards. An alley is proposed in the subdivision to separate the lots in Block 1 and
Block 6. The proposed alley is 30’ wide, with a 20’ wide asphaltic concrete drive and 5’ wide
shoulders on each side. Attached are typical roadway sections.
All construction activities in the area will be required to have adequate dust control and erosion
control practices based on City and MDEQ standards. Temporary erosion control will also be
provided at the dead ends of streets between phases of construction. All interior local roads will
be constructed by the developer and maintained through construction. Upon acceptance of road
309
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 29 of 36
improvements, these roads will be maintained by the City of Bozeman.
A Traffic Impact Study was prepared for the subdivision and recommends mitigation measures for
the subdivision, some of which have been completed such as installing a traffic signal at S 11th
Ave. and Kagy Boulevard and constructing S.11th Ave. and W. Graf St. to two-lane urban collector
standards.
The City of Bozeman has requested that S. 11th Ave be restriped to replace the existing bike lane
with street parking and add a left turn lane into the proposed subdivision. The existing 10’ shared
use sidewalk along S. 11th Ave will be used for cyclists. A similar 10’ shared use sidewalk will
be provided along the W. Graf Street frontage. Street closures and/or traffic control will
be used during the restriping of S. 11th Ave.
38.220.060.A.12 – Non-Municipal Utilities. Northwestern Energy has been notified that
electricity and natural gas service will need to be provided to the subdivision and has confirmed
that they can provide service, as seen in the attached letter. It has been requested from
Northwestern to work concurrently and in cooperation with other utilities and services, including
telephone, internet, and cable TV providers to provide for their respective infrastructure in joint
utility trenches. Gas, electricity, and information utilities will be phased and will be installed after
completion of roads but prior to construction of dwellings. All utilities will be located underground
and per the City of Bozeman Standards.
38.220.060.A.13 - Land Use. The Site is currently being used for agriculture—the growing
of hay. The property was recently (June 7, 2024) rezoned from R-1, Residential Low-Density
District to both R-2, Residential Moderate-density and PLI, Public Lands and Institutions Districts.
The developer wishes to subdivide the 45.83 acre Site into 110 residential lots, 3
unbuildable/restricted development lots, 2 open space lots, one 7.521 acre park lot and streets and
rights-of-way. The R-2 zoning allows Single-Household, Two-Household and
Townhouse/Rowhouse residential dwellings within the subdivision. Most of the 3,000 square foot
lots within this subdivision will be built with townhomes. The larger 5 to 7,000 sf lots may be
built with single-household, detached homes. The 3 restricted lots will need further subdivision
into smaller lots or, if to be developed as one lot, would need site plan review and approval.
38.220.060.A.14 - Parks and Recreation Facilities
The 7.521 acre Block 10, Lot 2A has a 6.75-acre “Public Park Easement” that will be used as a
park to serve this subdivision as well as future phases of the Allison Subdivision. This public park
easement will be called the BonTon Park. A Park Master Plan is included in this application.
The maintenance of the park, including weed control, garbage collection, snow removal, leaf
removal, and irrigation maintenance will be managed by the City. A detailed park plan will show
310
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 30 of 36
neighborhood amenities such as an elevated viewing platform, a grill, picnic tables, benches, and
doggie stations on the trail; these improvements will be paid for by the subdivider.
Because the BonTon Master Park Plan is also being used to satisfy parkland requirements in the
adjacent Allison Subdivision, the BonTon Master Park Plan must include linear park parcels,
compliant with section 38.420.110, to accommodate the Gallagator Trail Connections at the far
east of Allison Subdivision as noted in Code Provision Numbers 10 and 11. The master park plan
must be revised to include this information: Future development of Allison Subdivision will require
the inclusion and construction of the Gallagator Trail through the property. Calculations for
improvements-in-lieu value may need to be adjusted based on inclusion of the Gallagator.
Please note that parkland credit provided to future phases of Allison Subdivision by Jarrett
Subdivision and its associated park master plan, do not preclude the requirement for future phases
of Allison Subdivision to include and construct the Gallagator Trail corridor. The Gallagator Trail
is considered a joint Transportation/Recreation facility and as a Transportation Facility and major
anchor route, and per Sec. 38.220.040.A.14.(a).(13)., will be required to be constructed when
future phases of Allison Subdivision propose development, regardless of parkland credits provided
by Jarrett Subdivision and associated park master plan.
Parks will need a legal agreement with the property owner adjacent to the Gallagator Trail to ensure
a proper easement width will be acquired when that section of Allison Subdivision develops. The
requirement for the Gallagator Trial easement is in addition to any parkland dedicated with Jarrett
Subdivision. The availability of parkland credits at the time of future Allison Subdivision
development does not release the requirement for future phases of Allison Subdivision to provide
the required trail easement for the Gallagator Trail. Parks will provide the proposed legal
agreement.
38.220.060.A.15 - Neighborhood Center Plan
The proposed parkland on Block 10 will serve as the Jarrett Subdivision neighborhood center.
38.220.060.A.16 - Lighting Plan. A Lighting Plan for Jarrett Subdivision conducted by Royal
Engineering is provided in this submittal.
38.220.060.A.17 – Miscellaneous. There are no public lands within 200’ of the proposed
subdivision. There are no known potential hazards such as mining activity, potential subsidence,
high pressure gas lines, dilapidated structures, or high voltage power lines located within the
proposed subdivision. The Site is not located in the wildlands-urban interface per the Gallatin
County Wildlife Urban Interface Areas and Fire District map.
311
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 31 of 36
38.220.060.A.18 - Affordable Housing. There are no subsidized housing units proposed for this
development nor are there any BMC affordable housing incentives proposed to be used.
38.220.060.A.19 – Adopted Growth Policy: See Appendix A below.
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property was recently rezoned from R-1 to R-2, Residential Moderate Density District.
The intent of the R-2 residential moderate density district is to provide for the development of one-
to two-household or townhome residential structures at urban densities within the City. Urban
densities are not specifically defined in the UDC but in 38.300.100, the intent and purpose of all
residential and mixed use zones urge this compact development. The Community Plan policies
also urge urban densities, compact development and inf-fill development where municipal services
are already accessible.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The subject property is designated “Urban Neighborhood” on the City’s Future Land Use Map.
Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 shows the correlation between the Urban
Neighborhood future land use map designation and implementing zoning districts. (See below for
the Table).
The subject property is designated as Urban Neighborhood on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
This category primarily includes urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, and
intensities. Large areas of any single type of housing are discouraged. In limited instances, an area
may develop at a lower gross density due to site constraints and/or natural features such as
floodplains or steep slopes. Complementary uses such as parks, home-based occupations, fire
stations, churches, schools, and some neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for
community gathering and services. The Urban Neighborhood designation indicates that
development is expected to occur within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior
to development.
The FLUM allows the low-density R-1 Districts as well as the moderate-density R-2 Districts.
This proposed subdivision would provide one hundred and ten (110) 3,000 to 5,500 square foot
(sf) sized lots for townhomes. The Site is flat without habitat encumbrances such as wetlands or
floodplains. There is an agricultural irrigation ditch on the Site that will be removed and piped to
312
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 32 of 36
allow for continued conveyance of water rights to downstream users. The alignments of the piped
ditches will be generally consistent with the existing flow line of the ditch. If any realignment is
determined to be necessary, it will comply with all relevant requirements of State law. As such,
the presence of the irrigation ditch will not impair an urban scale and density of the Site. The R-2
zoning only allows single-household, duplex or townhome/rowhouse development on the Site
which is similar to adjacent built subdivisions but dissimilar to the more urban apartment complex
developments currently under construction in the area.
The Urban Neighborhood growth policy encourages development to be walkable, which is defined
in the glossary as: Walkable. A walkable area has:
• A center, whether it’s a main street or a public space.
• People: Enough people for businesses to flourish and for public transit to run frequently.
• Parks and public space: Functional and pleasant public places to gather and play.
• Pedestrian design: Buildings are close to the street; parking lots are relegated to the back.
• Schools and workplaces: Close enough that walking to and from home to these destinations is
realistic.
• Complete streets: Streets designed for bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit.
The Site has a Block Frontage designation of “Landscape” which facilitates homes with entrances
facing the street . Block 1 of Phase I and Block 6 of Phase II of the subdivision features lots with
alley access. This would facilitate the development of garages facing the alley which decreases
the number of curb cuts and driveways facing the street resulting in safer and more convenient
pedestrian and bicycle travel on the street. It also facilitates the “pedestrian design” of each of the
street-facing townhouses providing a porch, entry door and windows to make an attractive
streetscape and a human scale, walkable neighborhood.
The subdivision provides a 6.75 acre park at the northwest corner of the Site. This will be designed
and built to serve as the neighborhood center for this subdivision. The park will also be designed
to connect with open space and parkland on adjacent lands to the north when that land is developed
from farmland to housing.
The site is surrounded by urban-scale apartment complexes planned or under construction.
The residential neighborhoods to the north are interspersed with pockets of personal service
commercial establishments. Around 900 new dwelling units are under construction in the
vicinity; most at urban densities in R-4, residential high density and REMU, residential
emphasis mixed use zoning districts.
Transit. Although the closest bus stop lies about one and a half miles north of the Site at College
and S. 13th Avenue. It is anticipated that the Streamline bus service will respond to this new
313
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 33 of 36
population and potential transit demand within the next few years. Therefore, it is not surprising
that, at this time, the Site has a walk score of zero for transit. All trips are dependent upon a vehicle
or a bicycle. The Site is deemed by the private Walk Score algorithm to be somewhat bikeable
(outside of snow months).
The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, water, sewer, parks, and other
facilities and services provided by the City. The adopted plans allow the City to consider existing
conditions and identify enhancements needed to provide additional service needed by new
development. The City implements these plans through its capital improvements program that
identifies individual projects, project construction scheduling, and financing of construction.
The subject properties are within the City’s land use, transportation, parks, and utility planning
areas. The 2025 to 2049 Capital Improvement Plan shows transportation system expansion projects
on Kagy Blvd and Stucky Road that will improve all mode transportation system capacity in the
area. Development consistent with City standards will improve connectivity of sidewalks to
adjacent residential and commercial districts. About a half-mile north of the Site along S. 11th
Avenue is a Deli and Market and another half-mile north along S. 11th is a Town and Country
grocery store with some other local shops and restaurants on S. 11th Avenue and College Avenue.
All of which are generally walkable and bikeable. There are many college students walking and
biking about in the area.
Any future development of the property will be required to conform to City standards for setbacks,
height, lot coverage, and buffering.
The City’s transportation plan is used to evaluate transportation needs over the long term
throughout the City and will evaluate impacts of motorized vehicles along with bikes and
pedestrians. The parks and trail plans also examine and specify options for extensions of the
existing trail network through this site. Development review of individual lots within the
subdivision will ensure that development under the new R-2 zoning will comply with the City’s
standards for the provision of onsite parking, circulation and open space. The Homeowners
Association (HOA) for the subdivision will maintain the two open space lots, landscaping and
stormwater manage facilities. The City will maintain the new BonTon Park after the subdivider
constructs the park and amenities. Eventually, there will be public streets fronting the park on all
sides.
Relevant Community Plan Growth Policies Addressed by this Subdivision
THEME 2 | A CITY OF UNIQUE NEIGHBORHOODS
Our City desires to be diverse, healthy, and inclusive, defined by our vibrant neighborhoods,
quality housing, walkability, excellent schools, numerous parks and trails, and thriving areas of
commerce.
Goal N-1: Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods.
314
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 34 of 36
N-1.2 Increase required minimum densities in residential districts.
Staff Comment: The R-2 zone offers slightly higher densities than the R-1 zone in that a duplex
housing type is permitted with minimum lot sizes of 2,500 sf. Townhomes and row houses are
permitted in the R-2 zone with minimum densities of 3,000 sf of lot area per attached dwelling.
N-1.5 Encourage neighborhood focal point development with functions, activities, and facilities
that can be sustained over time. Maintain standards for placement of community focal points and
services within new development.
N-1.9 Ensure multimodal connections between adjacent developments
N-1.10 Increase connectivity between parks and neighborhoods through continued trail and
sidewalk development. Prioritize closing gaps within the network.
N-4.4 Ensure an adequate supply of off leash facilities to meet the demand of Bozeman dog
owners.
Staff Comment: The BonTon Park will serve as the neighborhood center for this subdivision as
shown above in Exhibit 9 and below in Exhibit 10. The multi-modal connections to adjacent
developments are shown in Exhibit 10. The east-west connection to the mixed use development
to the west and to S. 19the Avenue will be provided in later phases when Lot 1/Block 7, one of the
restricted lots, is developed.
Exhibit 10: BonTon Park connection to the future Gallagator Trail Linear Park
Staff Comment: The Parks and Recreation Department accepts the subdivision Master Park Plan
and views the BonTon Park as part of a community park consisting of this BonTon Park and the
South University District public park located on the north side of Arnold Street. However, the
BonTon Park does not offer dog off lease facilities.
315
City Commission Jarrett Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat Staff Report; 23072 Page 35 of 36
N-3.7 Support compact neighborhoods, small lot sizes, and small floor plans, especially
through mechanisms such as density bonuses.
N-3.8 Promote the development of "Missing Middle" housing (side by side or stacked
duplex, triplex, live-work, cottage housing, group living, rowhouses/townhouses, etc.) as one of
the most critical components of affordable housing.
Staff Comment: The R-2 zoning would allow development of duplex and rowhouse/townhouse
style housing. The 3,000+ square foot townhouse lots bordering the alley in Block 1 of Phase I and
Block 6 of Phase II of the subdivision are intended to offer lower per-unit costs and intended to
accommodate smaller and, therefore, lower cost housing. This may be affordable “by design” for
missing middle type housing.
APPENDIX B – NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Notice was provided by the Applicant by posting on the property and by first class mail to
landowners of adjacent properties at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the close of the
public comment period/the June 18, 2024 City Commission public hearing per BMC 38.220.420.
The Applicant posted public notice on the Site on May 10, 2024 and mailed by first class mail on
that same date to landowners of record within 200-feet of the Site. As of the date of this report, no
written or phone call comments have been received. However, at the Planning Board meeting of
June 3, 2024, two people commented on the project. Their comments are noted below.
Allison Sweeney:
• Is pleased to see this application that would provide townhomes. Townhomes provides a
mix of housing types for the City and for this area.
• Loves her basement and supports basements at this subdivision.
• Recommends that residential buildings incorporate eaves in the roofline; this moves water
away from basements.
Kim Green:
• Supports development of townhomes and advises that it would be suitable housing for
University students in the area.
• The proposed Park should be maintained by the City Parks Department and not the
subdivision HOA. HOAs are often cash-strapped and may not maintain the park properly.
• Supports a shared use trail along the perimeter of the subdivision which links all the parks
in the area to the homes.

SUBJECT:Application for Harper's Corner Annexation and Zone Map Amendment,
Requesting Annexation of 40.12 Acres Including Adjacent Right-of-Way for
Hidden Valley Road and Amendment to the City Zoning Map for the
Establishment of Two Zoning Designations of R-3 (Residential Medium
Density District) on the Western Parcel Containing 20.06 Acres and R-4
(Residential High Density District) on the Eastern Parcel Containing 20.06
Acres, Application 23127.
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Legislative
RECOMMENDATION:Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials,
public comment, recommendation of the Zoning Commission, and all
information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff
report for application 23127 and move to approve the Harper's Corner Zone
Map Amendment with contingencies of approval necessary to complete
adoption of an implementing ordinance.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:The proposed application includes annexing two parcel approximately 40.12
acres in size into the City limits plus adjacent right-of-way and establish two
initial zone districts including R-3 (Residential Medium Density District) on
the western parcel containing 20.06 acres and R-4 (Residential High Density
District) on the eastern parcel containing 20.06 acres. The property is
currently zoned Agriculture Suburban (AS) within the county. Zoning north,
south, and west of the site is also within the county. Nearby municipal
zoning to the north about a quarter mile is REMU, east of the site about a
half mile is zoned R-4, and south about a half mile is zoned R-1, R-3, R-4, and
R-5. The Future Land Use Map in the Bozeman Community Plan 2020
designates the property as Urban Neighborhood which includes R-3 and R-4
as implementing zoning districts.
319
The application was heard by the Community Development Board on
September 11, 2023. The applicant originally requested an initial zone
district of R-5 (Residential Mixed-Use High Density District). At the hearing,
the Community Development Board, acting in their capacity as the Zoning
Commission, voted 5-1 to recommend denial of the requested R-5 zoning to
the City Commission. In general, the board members were not in favor of the
requested R-5 zone district and felt a lower density district would be more
appropriate.
In response to public comment and comments from the Community
Development Board, the applicant changed the requested initial zone district
to R-4 in lieu of R-5. The application was heard by the City Commission on
January 23, 2024. The neighbors adjacent to the site submitted enough
letters of protest to require a super majority vote by the Commission to
approve the requested zone district of R-4. Only the annexation received a
majority vote. The City Commission voted 4-1 to approve the annexation.
The City Commission voted 3-2 to approve the zone map amendment which
failed to meet the super majority needed (4 votes) to approve the zone map
amendment. In general, some of the Commissioners that voted for the zone
map amendment preferred some tapering of density towards the western
edge of the subject site to provide a range of housing types. The remaining
two Commissioners had concerns with the existing rural character
surrounding most of the subject site and the existing rural road network.
The Commission directed the applicant to reach out and talk with the
neighbors regarding the proposed R-4 zoning district and return for a final
City Commission hearing for the zone map amendment at a later date.
In response to public comment and comments from the City Commission,
the applicant met with the neighbors on several occasions and has change
the requested zone district to R-3 on the western parcel containing 20.06
acres and R-4 on the eastern parcel containing 20.06 acres. The applicant has
submitted a revised summary outlining this request which is included with
this staff report.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:There are no identified conflicts on this application at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:1. Approve the zone map amendment application;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the requested zoning;
3. Deny the zone map amendment application based on findings of non-
compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Open and continue the public hearing on the zone map amendment
application, with specific direction to staff or the applicant to supply
additional
information or to address specific items.
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budged funds
will be changed by this Annexation or Zone Map Amendment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is based on the application materials submitted and public comment received to
date. This report addresses the zoning amendment for the City Commission. Application
materials available at Harper’s Corner, Application 23127.
Unresolved Issues
There are no identified conflicts on this application at this time.
Project Summary
The proposed application includes annexing two parcels approximately 40.12 acres in size into
the City limits plus adjacent right-of-way and establish two initial zone districts including R-3
(Residential Medium Density District) on the western parcel containing 20.06 acres and R-4
(Residential High Density District) on the eastern parcel containing 20.06 acres. The property
is currently zoned “Agriculture Suburban” (AS) within the county. Zoning north, south, and
west of the site is within the county. South of the site is zoned Agriculture Suburban (AS),
west of the site is unzoned, and north is zoned Residential Manufactured Home (R-MH). On
the eastern side of the project site is an 86-acre vacant parcel that just received final approval
to annex into the city with an initial zone district of Residential Emphasis Mixed-Use (REMU).
Nearby municipal zoning to the north about a quarter mile is REMU (Turnrow MSP & PP),
(Residential Emphasis Mixed-Use). East of the site about a half mile is zoned R-4 (Residential
High Density) and south about a half mile is R-1, R-3, R-4 and R-5. The Future Land Use Map
in the Bozeman Community Plan (BCP) 2020 designates the property as “Urban
Neighborhood” which includes R-3 and R-4 as implementing zoning districts. The property is
bordered by Hidden Valley Road to the west and north. The proposed annexation would bring
in additional right of way to build out Hidden Valley Road to the City’s collector standard
adjacent to the subject property as would be required with future development. Additionally,
the project will bring in additional right of way to align and eventually connect with Ca tamount
Street (classified as a Minor Arterial in the Bozeman Transportation Master Plan -TMP) that
will eventually run along the southern border of the project site and additional right of way to
align and eventually connect with Ferguson Avenue (classified as a Collector Street in the
TMP) that is approximately one half mile south of the subject site.
There is currently an existing single household dwelling with associated outbuildings and a
septic system on each parcel. Directly north of the subject site is a mobile home park located
in the county. Further north and west of the site are rural residential uses, and vacant land
directly south and east of the subject site. The vacant 86-acre acre parcel east of the site
received final approval on December 6, 2022 to annex into the city with an initial zone district
of REMU (Project Eighty-6, Application 22113) [External Link].

In determining whether the criteria applicable to this application are met, Staff considers the
entire body of plans and regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigate
possible negative impacts are incorporated in many locations in the municipal code but are
principally in Chapter 38, Unified Development Code. References in the text of this report to
Articles, Divisions, or in the form xx.xxx.xxx are to the Bozeman Municipal Code.
Community Development Board (Zoning Commission) Summary
This application was heard by the Community Development Board on September 11, 2023.
The applicant originally requested an initial zone district of R-5 (Residential Mixed-Use High
Density District). At the September 11, 2023, public hearing, the Community Development
Board, acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission, voted 5-1 to recommend denial of
the requested R-5 zoning to the City Commission. In general, the five members recommending
denial of the zoning request were not in favor of establishing an R-5, Residential Mixed-Use
High Density district at this location. One member suggested REMU would be a more
appropriate district to allow for some neighborhood commercial with residential uses. Several
members suggested a lower density district would be more appropriate at this location given
the surrounding rural and agricultural character. Below is a video link to the September 11th
Community Development Board meeting. The item begins about one hour, seven minutes into
the meeting.
Video Link for CDB meeting (External Link)
Revisions to Application Materials
In response to public comment and comments from the Community Development Board
members, the applicant has changed the requested initial zone district to R-4 (Residential High
Density) in lieu of R-5 (Residential Mixed Use High Density).
An additional notice for this change in the application was published in the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle on December 23rd and December 30th, 2023. The notice was posted on site and
notices mailed by the applicant as required by 38.220 (External Link) and the required
confirmation provided to the Planning Office. Notice was provided at least 15 and not more
than 45 days prior to any public hearing.
City Commission Summary from January 23rd Hearing
The application was heard by the City Commission on January 23rd, 2024. The neighbors
adjacent to the site submitted enough letters of protest to require a super majority vote by the
Commission to approve the requested zone district of R-4. Only the annexation received a
majority vote.
The City Commission voted 4-1 to approve the annexation. The City Commission voted 3-2
to approve the zone map amendment which failed to meet the super majority needed (4 votes)
to approve the zone map amendment. In general, some of the Commissioners that voted for
the zone map amendment preferred some tapering of density towards the western edge of the
324
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 4 of
27
subject site to provide a range of housing types. The remaining two Commissioners had
concerns with the existing rural character surrounding most of the subject site and the existing
rural road network. In addition, it was noted there was no attempt by the applicant to meet with
neighbors adjacent to the site regarding the proposed application. The Commission requested
the applicant reach out and talk with the neighbors regarding the proposed R-4 zone district
and return for a final City Commission hearing for the zone map amendment for a date to be
determined. Below is a video link to the January 23rd City Commission meeting. The item
begins about one hour, forty-seven minutes into the meeting.

Applicant Response to City Commission Request for Neighborhood Outreach
In response to public comment and comments from the City Commission, the applicant met
with the neighbors at a private home on February 8th, 2024. Following this meeting, the
applicant met and talked with neighbors on a number of occasions to discuss the proposed zone
district.
In response to public comment and comments from the City Commission at the January 23rd
hearing, the applicant has changed the requested zone district to R-3 on the western parcel
containing 20.06 acres and R-4 on the eastern parcel containing 20.06 acres. The applicant has
submitted an additional summary outlining this request which is included with this staff report.

Please note that these contingencies are necessary for the City to complete the process of the
proposed amendment. These contingencies only apply in the event that the related annexation
request has previously been approved.
Recommended Contingencies of Approval:
1. That all documents and exhibits necessary to establish initial municipal zoning
designations shall be identified as the Harper’s Corner Zone Map Amendment. All
required documents must be returned to the City within 60 days of the City Commission
action to annex the property or the preliminary approval shall be null and void .
2. The Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be finalized until the
Annexation Agreement is signed by the applicant and formally approved by the City

to existing platted properties or certificates of survey .
4. The Ordinance for the Zone Map Amendment shall not be drafted until the applicant
provides an editable metes and bounds legal description prepared by a licensed
Montana surveyor.
SECTION 3 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Zone Map Amendment
Having considered the criteria established for a zone map amendment, the Staff recommends
approval as submitted. The Harper’s Corner Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) is in conjunction
with an annexation request. Staff’s recommendation and staff responses are predicated on
approval of the annexation, application 23127.
The Development Review Committee (DRC) considered the amendment. The DRC did not
identify any infrastructure or regulatory constraints that would impede the approval of the
application.
332
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 12 of
27
The Community Development Board acting in their capacity as the Zoning Commission held
a public hearing on this ZMA on September 11, 2023. A brief summary of their
recommendation is on page three of this staff report.
The City Commission held a public hearing on the zone map amendment on January 23, 2024.
A brief summary of their discussion is on page three of this staff report.
The City Commission will hold a second and final public hearing on the zone map amendment
on June 18, 2024. The meeting will be held at 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman. The meeting
will begin at 6 p.m.
SECTION 4 - ZONE MAP AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND
FINDINGS
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission must consider the following criteria (letters A-K). As an amendment is a
legislative action, the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The
burden of proof that the application should be approved lies with the applicant.
A zone map amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy (criteria A) and be
designed to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B), promote public health, public
safety, and general welfare (criteria C), and facilitate the provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a
zone map amendment the Commission must find criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E-K, and may find the zone map
amendment to be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the
zone map amendment, the Commission must find the positive outcomes of the amendment
outweigh negative outcomes for criteria E-K.
In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff considers the entire body of plans and
regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigated negative impacts are
incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38, Unified
Development Code. For information about how the code as a whole applies examples of
specific code sections and the timing of future application is provided as part of the analysis
below.
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Criterion Met. The Bozeman Community Plan (BCP) 2020, Chapter 5, p. 73, in the section
titled Review Criteria for Zoning Amendments and Their Application, discusses how the
various criteria in 76-2-304 MCA are applied locally. Application of the criteria varies
333
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 13 of
27
depending on whether an amendment is for the zoning map or for the text of Chapter 38, BMC.
The first criterion for a zoning amendment is accordance with a growth policy.
Future Land Use Map
The proposed amendment is a change to the zoning map. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze
compliance with the future land use map. Chapter 3 of the BCP 2020 addresses the future land
use map. The introduction to that chapter discusses the importance of the chapter. Following
are some excerpts.
“Future land use is the community’s fundamental building block. It is an illustration of
the City’s desired outcome to accommodate the complex and diverse needs of its
residents.”
“The land use map sets generalized expectations for what goes where in the community.
Each category has its own descriptions. Understanding the future land use map is not
possible without understanding the category descriptions.”
The area of this application is within the anticipated growth area of the City. As shown on the
maps in Section 1, on the excerpt of the current future land use map, the property is designated
as Urban Neighborhood. The Urban Neighborhood designation description reads:
“This category primarily includes urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes,
sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single type of housing are discouraged. In
limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross density due to site constraints
and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes. Complementary uses such
as parks, home-based occupations, fire stations, churches, schools, and some
neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for community gathering and
services. The Urban Neighborhood designation indicates that development is expected
to occur within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior to
development.
Applying a zoning district to specific parcels sets the required and allowed density.
Higher density residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not required or
restricted to, proximity to commercial mixed use areas to facilitate the provision of
services and employment opportunities without requiring the use of a car.”
The correlation between the future land use map of the growth policy and the zoning districts
is presented in Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020. As shown in the following
Correlation with Zoning Table excerpt, the R-3 and R-4 districts are implementing districts of
the Urban Neighborhood category.

Goals and Policies
A zoning amendment is also evaluated against the goals and policies of the BCP 2020. Most
of the goals and policies are not applicable to this application. Relevant goals and objectives
have been identified by staff. Conflict with the text of the growth policy hasn’t been identified.
The Short Term Action list on page 63 of the BCP 2020 describes 14 items to implement the
growth policy. The first two relate to direct changes to the zoning map in support of listed
goals and objectives. These include increasing the intensity of zoning districts in already
developed areas. Beginning on page 71 of the BCP 2020 in the section titled Zoning
Amendment Review, the document discusses how the City implements zoning for new areas,
amendments to areas, and revisions to existing text. This section includes a discussion of when
the City may initiate a zoning change to a more intensive district to increase development
opportunities. This section demonstrates that the City, as a matter of policy, is supportive of
more intensive zoning districts and development. It is inconsistent with this approach to zone
at annexation for lower intensities than what infrastructure and planning documents will
support. This policy approach does not specify any individual district but does lean towards
the more intensive portion of the zoning district spectrum.
N-1.1 Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing.
N-1.3 Revise the zoning map to lessen areas exclusively zon ed for single-type housing.
Goal N-3: Promote a diverse supply of quality housing units.
The requested R-3 and R-4 districts support all three of the above as it authorizes a wide
range of housing types, lot sizes, and services to create a mix of housing, including “Missing
Middle” housing as one of the critical components of affordable housing.
Goal DCD-1: Support urban development within the City.
The proposed zoning is occurring in conjunction with an annexation. Any future
development will be required to occur at urban densities and will be within the City.
DCD-1.11 Pursue annexations consistent with the future land use map and adopted facility
plans for development at urban intensity.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the future land use map and is within the current
facilities plans.

27
Goal RC-3: Collaborate with Gallatin County regarding annexation and development
patterns adjacent to the City to provide certainty for landowners and taxpayers.
Gallatin County has been notified of the proposed annexation.
RC-3.3 Prioritize annexations that enable the incremental expansion of the City and its
utilities.
The property in question is contiguous to the City limits on the east on over 1,320 lineal
feet. It adds approximately 40 acres to the City limits that is available for urban development.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Criterion Met. The existing buildings are constructed of unknown quality, fire, and safety
measures. Any removal and replacement must meet the development standards of the City.
Fire protection water supply will be provided by the City of Bozeman water system. The
property is not within any delineated floodplain nor does it have other known natural hazards.
Upon annexation the subject property will be provided with City emergency services including
police, fire and ambulance. Future development of the property will be required to conform to
all City of Bozeman public safety, building, and land use requirements. The City provides
emergency services to adjacent properties and no obstacles have been identified in extending
service to this parcel.

and safety will be positively affected by requiring new development to connect to municipal
sanitary sewer and water systems, which will prevent groundwater pollution and depletion by
wells and septic systems.
As noted in Criterion B, further development and redevelopment must be in accordance with
modern building, access, stormwater, pedestrian circulation, ingress and egress to the site, and
full connection to the greater transportation network for users ensuring the promotion of public
health, safety and general welfare.

D. Facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other
public requirements.
Criterion Met. This property is included in future planning areas for transportation, parks,
sewer, and water. The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, water,
337
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 17 of
27
sewer, parks, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The adopted plans allow
the City to consider existing conditions and identify enhancements needed to provide
additional service needed by new development. The City implements these plans through its
capital improvements program that identifies individual projects, project construction
scheduling, and financing of construction.
As stated in 38.300.020.C, the designation of a zoning district does not guarantee approval of
new development until the City verifies the availability of needed infrastructure. All zoning
districts in Bozeman enable a wide range of uses and intensities. At time of future subdivision
or site plan review the need for individual services can be more precisely determined. No
subdivision or site plan is approved without demonstration of adequate capacity.
38.300.020.C, “Placement of any given zoning district on an area depicted on the zoning
map indicates a judgment on the part of the city that the range of uses allowed within that
district are generally acceptable in that location. It is not a guarantee of approval for any
given use prior to the completion of the appropriate review procedure and compliance with
all of the applicable requirements and development standards of this chapter and other
applicable policies, laws and ordinances. It is also not a guarantee of immediate
infrastructure availability or a commitment on the part of the city to bear the cost of
extending services.”
See also comments under Criterion C.
The applicant has been advised that the subject property is located within the Baxter Creek
Sewer Drainage Basin, which currently does not have any wastewater infrastructure to service
the subject site and that prior to any future development, the applicant is advised all wastewater
generated by the development must flow into the Hidden Valley Lift Station, which is currently
in the early phases of design and is not yet developed.
All future construction must extend services in conjunction with subdivision and site
development. Those extensions must meet current standards and will advance this standard.

E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
Criterion Met. The R-3 and R-4 zoning designations have requirements for setbacks, height,
and lot coverage in Table 38.320.030A [External Link] of the UDC which address the
reasonable provision of adequate light and air. Any future development of the property will be
required to conform to City standards for setbacks, height, lot coverage, and buffering. Park
dedication will also be required with future development as required by state law (76 -3-621
MCA) and city ordinance (38.420.020 BMC). The criterion is not about personal preferences
but about protection of public health and safety. The adopted standards address protection of
public health and safety.
In addition to the zoning standards, adopted building codes contain more detailed requirements
for air circulation, window placement, and building separation that further ensure the intent of
this criterion is satisfied.

F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Criterion Met. The proposed zoning will allow for a higher density of uses than is currently
allowed under Gallatin County zoning. The Gallatin County zoning now in place is an
agricultural protection zone which requires 20 acres per home. The site is presently occupied
by a single household dwelling with outhouses on each parcel. Any development under
Bozeman R-3 and R-4 zoning will generate more traffic, on foot, bicycle, or vehicle, than the
existing single family lot.
To meet the adopted standards of 38.400, [External Link] when a development is proposed, it
will be responsible for f rontage improvements along Hidden Valley Road as well as Catamount
Street and Ferguson Avenue when triggered. Improvements to Hidden Valley Road will allow
future residents easy access to I-90 that lies just over a half mile from the subject site. Future
development will be required to provide these improvements which will enhance the city’s
motorized and non-motorized transportation systems. Local streets will be laid out and
constructed as development proceeds. Sidewalks and bike facilities are minimum standards
and will be constructed as needed. Easements for all the roads mentioned by name are required
as part of the Terms of Annexation.

G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Criterion Met. The intent of the R-3 and R-4 zone districts are to provide for medium and high
density residential development through a variety of housing types to serve the varying housing
needs of the community’s residents. The subject property is adjacent to low-density residential
uses to the southwest and west. There is an undeveloped parcel, within the city limits zoned
REMU, and a mobile home park directly north of the site. The R-3 and R-4 districts allow for
a wide range of residential uses which allows for consideration of existing development to the
north and west. In addition, the proposed zoning is in accordance with the Bozeman
Community Plan’s future land use designation of Urban Neighborhood.
Use of high density residential is appropriate for areas adjacent to a variety of land uses and
can stand along to develop its own neighborhood character, as described in residential intent
and purpose statement. Surrounding county zoning and unzoned properties to the north, west
and south include low to medium residential density, and vacant land. East of project site is
now zoned Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) that will contain a wide mix of housing
types. The site is at the intersection of current and f uture arterial and collector streets which
will provide physical separation from adjacent existing development to the west and south.

H. Character of the district.
Criterion Met. Section 76-2-302, MCA says “…legislative body may divide the municipality
into districts of the number, shape, and area as are considered best suited to carry out the
purposes [promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community] of this
part.” Emphasis added.
This proposal amends the zoning map and not the text. Therefore, no element of this
amendment modifies the standards of any zoning district. The character of the districts as
created by those standards remains intact.
As noted above, the City Commission has latitude in considering the geographical extents of a
zoning district. Application of any municipal zoning district to the subject property will alter
the existing agricultural character of the subject property. It is not expected that zoning freeze
the character of an area in perpetuity. Rather, it provides a structured method to consider
changes to the character. The intent and purpose of the R-3 and R-4 districts is available in
38.300.100.E [External Link] and in Appendix B of this report.
The City has defined compatible development as:
“The use of land and the construction and use of structures which is in harmony
with adjoining development, existing neighborhoods, and the goals and
objectives of the City's adopted growth policy. Elements of compatible
development include, but are not limited to, variety of architectural design;
rhythm of architectural elements; scale; intensity; materials; building sitin g; lot
and building size; hours of operation; and integration with existing community
systems including water and sewer services, natural elements in the area,
motorized and non-motorized transportation, and open spaces and parks.
Compatible development does not require uniformity or monotony of
architectural or site design, density or use.”
The City has adopted many standards to identify and avoid or mitigate demonstrable negative
impacts of development. These will support the ability of future development in R-3 and R-4
to be compatible with adjacent development and uphold the residential character of the area.
As noticed in the growth policy under discussion of this criterion a local street is considered
an adequate separation between different uses and districts to minimize impacts, see page 77.
342
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 22 of
27
The existing character of the site is a single household large lot. Any change in zoning will
modify the essential character of the property. To the east is a vacant lot recently annexed
zoned REMU, which will allow a variety of high density housing. To the west is low density
housing in the county and north is a mobile home park. Directly south is a vacant lot within
the county. Therefore, there is a diversity of character in the specifics but a general character
of residential uses which is consistent with the requested R-3 and R-4 zone districts.
The zoning amendment is in conjunction with annexation of the property. Annexation and
urban zoning will change the character of the application site. However, the requested zoning
is consistent with adjacent urban zoning. The urban zoning will be separated by a public street
from the low density, unzoned area to the west. It will not be separated from the mobile home
park to the north and vacant lot to the south. It is appropriate to zone the annexing area
consistent with the current growth policy and other standards of the City. The amendment does
not alter the allowed uses or standards within the adjacent unzoned, low density subdivision or
the mobile home park to the north.

I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Criterion Met. The property is within the City’s planning area for land use and utility
extensions. There is frontage on Hidden Valley Road, a collector street. Upon future
development, Hidden Valley Road will be constructed to municipal Street Standard adjacent
to the property. Municipal utilities and emergency services can be extended to the area. The
proposed R-3 and R-4 zone districts are suitable for the property’s location and adjacent uses.

J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Criterion Met. There is one single family dwelling with associated outbuildings on each of the
two subject properties. The amendment is for the zoning map and does not alter allowed uses
on adjacent properties.
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Criterion Met. The proposed R-3 and R-4 zone districts will encourage the most appropriate
use of land as the property is near residential uses. Upon future development, there will be
access to the city’s services, including streets, thus the site is able to support a higher intensity
of uses as allowed within the R-3 and R-4 zone districts. Furthermore, the proposed R-3 and
R-4 zone districts are consistent with the BCP 2020 future land use map designation of “Urban
Neighborhood”.

As of the writing of this report on June 4, 2024, written comments have been received on this
application. Any received comments will be made available through the City’s Laserfiche
system.
APPENDIX B - PROJECT GROWTH POLICY AND PROPOSED ZONING
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as “Urban Neighborhood” in the Bozeman Community Plan 2020.
“This category primarily includes urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes,
sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single type of housing are discouraged. In
limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross density due to site constraints
and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes. Complementary uses such
as parks, home-based occupations, fire stations, churches, schools, and some
neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for community gathering and
345
Staff Report for the Harper’s Corner Annexation and ZMA, Application 23127 Page 25 of
27
services. The Urban Neighborhood designation indicates that development is expected
to occur within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior to
development.
Applying a zoning district to specific parcels sets the required and allowed density.
Higher density residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not required or restricted
to, proximity to commercial mixed-use areas to facilitate the provision of services and
employment opportunities without requiring the use of a car.”
Proposed Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The applicant has requested zoning of R-3, Residential Medium Density district whose intent
is to:
Residential Medium Density District (R-3). The intent of the R-3 residential medium density
district is to provide for the development of one- to five-household residential structures
near service facilities within the city. This purpose is accomplished by:
1. Providing for minimum lot sizes in developed areas consistent with the established
development patterns while providing greater flexibility for clustering lots and mixing
housing types in newly developed areas.
2. Providing for a variety of housing types, including single household dwellings, two to
four household dwellings, and townhouses to serve the varied needs of households of
different size, age and character, while reducing the adverse effect of non-residential
uses.
Use of this zone is appropriate for areas with good access to parks, community services
and/or transit.
The applicant has requested zoning of R-4, Residential High Density district whose intent is
to:
Residential High Density District (R-4). The intent of the R-4 residential high density district
is to provide for high-density residential development through a variety of housing types
within the city with associated service functions. This purpose is accomplished by:
1. Providing for minimum lot sizes in developed areas consistent with the established
development patterns while providing greater flexibility for clustering lots and mixing
housing types in newly developed areas.
2. Providing for a variety of compatible housing types, including single and multi-
household dwellings to serve the varying needs of the community’s residents.
3. Allowing office use as a secondary use, measured by percentage of total building area.
Use of this zone is appropriate for areas adjacent to mixed -use districts, commercial
districts, and/or served by transit to accommodate a higher density of residents in close
proximity to jobs and services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project is pursuing annexation into the City of Bozeman (City) along with an initial zoning of R-3
and R-4 for two (2) parcels totaling approximately 40.12 acres. The two parcels are hereinafter referred to as Tract 1 and Tract 2, and collectively as the Subject Property. Tract 1 is proposed to be zoned R-3 and Tract 2 is proposed to be zoned R-4. The Subject Property is located on the east side of Hidden Valley Road and west of Davis Lane. The properties currently lie completely within Gallatin County and are zoned AS (Agricultural Suburban). The legal description is Tracts 1 and 2 of Certificate of Survey 408A, Section 27, Township 1 South, Range 5 East. The addresses are 1196 Hidden Valley Road and 1200 Hidden Valley Road.
The City of Bozeman has recently been consulted regarding the availability of service (specifically utility and access) to the Subject Property. Based on these discussions and a recent update of the City of Bozeman wastewater master plan, it is understood that services are available. The Subject Property is located within the newly created sewer drainage basin for the Valley Center Lift Station. Access and water are available from the east. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Owner is requesting a zoning designation of R-3 for Tract 1 and R-4 for Tract 2 (Residential High Density). The Subject Property is adjacent to (on the west side of) a recent annexation of Eighty-6 Development with designated zoning of REMU (Residential Emphasis Mixed-Use). Another recent City
annexation of 114.69 acres northeast of the Subject Property (called Turnrow) was completed with designated zoning of REMU (see attached Vicinity Map for more detail). The Subject Property has been designated as Urban Neighborhood within the Future Land Use Map incorporated into the City’s
Community Plan. RESPONSES TO ANNEXATION & ZONE MAP CRITERIA
The applicant understands that the annexation of property is subject to the goals and policies
established by Commission Resolution No. 4400. These goals and policies are outlined and addressed individually below. Annexation and Zone Map exhibits are included with the application for reference.
SECTION ONE: ANNEXATION GOALS
1. The City of Bozeman encourages annexations of land contiguous to the City.
- The proposed project is contiguous to the City of Bozeman, as the current City limits
are on the eastern property line of this parcel. The property to the east is Parcel 3 of
COS 3035 (Eighty-6 Development) which is zoned REMU.
Narrative & Overview
Harper’s Corner Annexation
WGM Project Number: 211024 05.22.2024
349
2. The City encourages all areas that are totally surrounded by the City to annex.
- The property is not completely surrounded by the City. The City of Bozeman is
located to the east of the subject property.
3. The City encourages all properties currently contracting with the City for City services such as water, sanitary sewer, and/or fire protection to annex.
- This project will connect to City services including water, sanitary sewer, and fire protection.
The existing buildings on the property are serviced by on-site water and sewer. A contract for City services will not be necessary since annexation is proposed.
4. The City of Bozeman requires annexation of all land proposed for development lying within the existing and planned service area of the municipal water and sewer systems as depicted in their respective facility plans, and land proposed for development that proposes to utilize municipal water or sewer systems.
- This project will utilize the City’s municipal water and sewer systems. City water and sewer is located east of the property and the intent is to connect to these existing
utilities to serve a proposed future development. The property is located within the City’s newly updated Baxter Creek Wastewater
Drainage Basin which discharges to a newly planned sewer lift station along Valley
Center Road. The Subject Property can discharge sewer to this future lift station via several route options, being Hidden Valley Road or private easement along the east
side of the property and through the Turnrow development. The property is also within the City’s 2015 water service plan area. This plan
indicates that a new 12-inch water main is planned for future growth and
development south and east of the Subject Property. It also indicates that a new eight-inch water main is planned east of the Subject Property. 5. The City encourages annexations within the urban area identified on the future land use map in the current Bozeman Growth Policy.
- The Subject Property lies within the urban area identified in the City of Bozeman Growth
Policy. The future land use map has designated this property as Urban Neighborhood. This
project will be consistent with the City of Bozeman Growth Policy and will be compliant with the Urban Neighborhood land use designation. The adjacent properties are being developed
as an urban area and the proposed land use for this development will follow the growth
pattern designed by the City.
6. The City of Bozeman encourages annexations to make the City boundaries more regular rather than creating irregular extensions which leave unannexed gaps between annexed areas or islands of annexed or unannexed land.
- This project will not create an island of annexed land surrounded by unannexed land. City limits will be extended to the west as a result of the annexation of the
Subject Property, which falls within the urban area identified on the future land
use map. The extension is not irregular as it aligns roughly with the west end of the City boundary to the south.
350
7. The City of Bozeman encourages annexations which will enhance the existing traffic circulation system or provide for circulation systems that do not exist at the present
time.
- The future project will facilitate and enhance both east to west, and north to south
traffic connectivity and circulation. The site will connect Hidden Valley Road to Davis
Lane by ultimately extending Catamount Street to the west, such that traffic has a central point of circulation and will not, instead need to drive to Valley Center Road or
Baxter Lane to move east and west. The project will also enhance north south traffic
via Ferguson Road which is planned for the east side of the project site. This connection enhances access for the existing residents and opens up connectivity
options for future developments in the area.
8. The City prefers annexation of parcels of land larger than five (5) acres in size but will allow annexation of smaller parcels if factors such as topographic limitations, sanitary disposal needs, fire access, maintenance of public facilities, etc., justify a smaller annexation.
- The proposed project is larger than five acres in size (40.12 acres).
9. The City seeks to obtain water rights adequate for future development of the property with annexation.
- Acknowledged, no water rights currently exist with this property other than a stock water right (number 41H 362-00).
10. The City of Bozeman encourages annexations for City provision of clean treated water and sanitary sewer.
- Acknowledged, extension of City sewer to this site will ultimately increase the quality of the groundwater in the area by eliminating the need for septic drainfields and enabling nearby
properties on septic drainfields (including the trailer park north of the Subject Property) to
connect to City sewer.
SECTION TWO: POLICIES 1. Annexations must include dedication of all easements for rights-of-way for collector and arterial streets, adjacent local streets, public water, sanitary sewer, or storm or sewer mains, and Class I public trails not within the right of way for arterial or collector streets. Annexations must also include waivers of right to protest the creation of special or improvement districts necessary to provide the essential services for future development of the City.
- The annexation will include dedication of all easements, rights-of-way, and waivers of right to protest the creation of improvements. The applicant will work with the City
staff to ensure that all of these items are secured in the annexation agreement prior to the City Commission hearing. The annexation will dedicate the west half of the
future Ferguson Road (Collector) extension. The annexation will dedicate the north
half of the future Catamount Street (Minor Arterial) extension. The annexation will include dedication of right-of-way for the east half of the Hidden Valley Road
(Collector) extension.
351
2. Issues pertaining to master planning and zoning must be addressed prior to or in conjunction with the application for annexation.
- Preliminary master planning along with evaluation of availability of utilities and City service has been addressed. The Subject Property will be provided access to the City
from the east. Direct (existing) access is also available via Hidden Valley Road. Sewer
service will be provided via the future Valley Center Lift Station. Water service will be provided via main extension from the east. The Subject Property tentatively includes a
variety of residential housing options and transportation options. The future growth
patterns that are envisioned by the City will occur and enhance the compatibility of the surrounding areas.
3. The application for annexation must be in conformance with the current Bozeman Growth Policy. If a Growth Policy Amendment is necessary to accommodate anticipated uses, the amendment process must be initiated by the property owner and completed prior to any action for approval of the application for annexation.
- The annexation is in conformance with the current City of Bozeman Growth Policy. Comparable zoning districts within the Urban Neighborhood Designation include R-S,
R-1, R-2, R-3. R-4, R-5, R-O, REMU, RMH, B-1, and PLI. These zoning districts allow
a range of densities, however since Tract 2 is adjacent to REMU zoning, a mid-range density of R-4 would be appropriate for the subject property. The proposed zoning of
R-3 on Tract 1 will provide a lower density buffer to the neighbors to the west.
4. Initial zoning classification of the property to be annexed will be determined by the City
Commission, in compliance with the Bozeman Growth Policy and upon a recommendation of the City Zoning Commission, simultaneously with review of the annexation petition.
- Acknowledged, the application is requesting an R-3 zoning for Tract 1 and a R-4 zoning for
Tract 2. 5. The applicant must indicate their preferred zoning classification as part of the annexation petition.
- The preferred zoning for this development is R-3 for Tract 1 and R-4 for Tract 2. These zoning designations will match the City land use/growth policy, are said to be
supportable by the adjacent neighboring landowners to the west, and will meet the
intended development of the property.
6. Fees for annexation processing will be established by the City Commission.
- Acknowledged, the Owner is paying the required annexation fees.
7. It is the policy of the City that annexations will not be approved where unpaved county roads will be the most commonly used route to gain access to the property unless the landowner proposes a method to provide for construction of the road to the City’s street standards.
- The proposed development will not be accessed by unpaved County roads. The
property will be accessed by Hidden Valley Road (existing paved road) and Catamount Street (proposed paved City road extension).
352
8. Prior to annexation of property, the City will require the property owner to acquire adequate and useable water rights, or an appropriate fee in lieu thereof, in accordance
with Section 38.410.130 of the municipal code, as amended.
- Acknowledged
9. Infrastructure and emergency services for an area proposed for annexation will be reviewed for the health, safety and welfare of the public and conformance with the City’s adopted facility plans. If the City determines adequate services cannot be provided to ensure public health, safety and welfare, the City may require the property owner to provide a written plan for accommodation of these services, or the City may reject the petition for annexation. Additionally, the parcel to be annexed may only be provided sanitary sewer service via the applicable drainage basin defined in the City Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan.
- The applicable drainage basin for sanitary sewer was recently updated and approved by the City Commission. This update created a new basin and planned for a new lift station (the
Valley Center Lift Station) located north of the Subject Property. This new basin can accommodate development on this parcel. Sewer service to the lift station can be achieved via
multiple different routes, all of which have been discussed in detail with the City Engineering
Department, in coordination with the adjacent development to the east (Eighty-6 Development). Water and access can be provided from the east (Davis Lane). Emergency
services can also be provided to the Subject Property via existing and future road connectivity.
10. The City may require annexation of any contiguous property for which city services are
requested or for which city services are currently being provided. In addition, any person, firm, or corporation receiving water or sewer service outside of the City limits is required as a condition of initiating or continuing such service, to consent to annexation of the property serviced by the City. The City Manager may enter into an agreement with a property owner for connection to the City’s sanitary sewer or water system in an emergency conditioned upon the submittal by the property owner of a petition for annexation and filing of a notice of consent to annexation with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. The contract for connection to city sewer and/or water must require the property owner to annex or consent to disconnection of the services. Connection for purposes of obtaining City sewer services in an emergency requires, when feasible as determined by the City, the connection to City water services.
- Acknowledged
11. The annexation application shall be accompanied by mapping to meet the requirements of the Director of Public Works. Where an area to be annexed can be entirely described by reference to a certificate of survey or subdivision plat on file with the Gallatin County
Clerk and Recorder.
- The annexation is accompanied by a map showing the legal description and legal
limits of the property. This annexation can be entirely described by reference to a
certificate of survey.
12. The mapping may be waived by the Director of Public Works.
- Acknowledged
353
13. The City will assess system development/impact fees in accordance with Montana law and Chapter 2, Article 6, Division 9, Bozeman Municipal Code.
- Acknowledged 14. Public notice requirements: Notice for annexation of property must be coordinated with the required notice for the zone map amendment required with all annexation. The zone map amendment notice must contain the materials required by 38.220.410, BMC.
- Applicable public notice will be coordinated with City Planning.
15. Annexation agreements must be executed and returned to the City within 60 days of distribution of the annexation agreement by the City, unless another time is specifically identified by the City Commission.
- Acknowledged
16. When possible, the use of Part 46 annexations is preferred.
- Acknowledged, a Part 46 annexation is being used.
17. Where a road improvement district has been created, the annexation does not repeal the creation of the district. The City will not assume operations of the district until the entirety of the district has been annexed. Any funds held in trust for the district will be used to benefit the district after transfer to the City. Inclusion within a district does not lessen the obligation to participate in general city programs that address the same subject.
- Acknowledged, per the City’s GIS website, there are currently no road improvements districts
within the vicinity of the Subject Property.
18. The City will notify the Gallatin County Planning Department and Fire District providing service to the area of applications for annexation.
- Acknowledged 19. The City will require connection to and use of all City services upon development of annexed properties. The City may establish a fixed time frame for connection to municipal utilities. Upon development, unless otherwise approved by the City, septic systems must be properly abandoned and the development connected to the City sanitary sewer system. Upon development, unless otherwise approved by the City, water wells on the subject property may be used for irrigation, but any potable uses must be supplied from
the City water distribution system and any wells disconnected from structures. The property owner must contact the City Water and Sewer Superintendent to verify disconnects of wells and septic systems.
- The landowner acknowledges that upon development, City utilities will be utilized and connected to within a reasonable time frame. Two septic systems are located on the
properties which will be properly abandoned upon development.
354
The following are responses to the requirements stated in the Zone Map Amendment Checklist:
a. Is the new zoning designed in accordance with the growth policy? How?
- Yes, the new zoning proposed with this development is in accordance with the
growth policy. The growth policy and future land use map have designated the
Subject Property as Urban Neighborhood. Per the growth policy/community plan, the
Urban Neighborhood designation includes urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single type of housing are
discouraged. In limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross density due to site constraints and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes.
Additionally, higher density residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not
required or restricted to, proximity to commercial mixed-use areas to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities without requiring the use of a car.
The requested R-4 zoning district planned for Tract 2 is adjacent to REMU zoning district, and the R-3 zoning district planned for Tract 1 is adjacent to the more rural
area of which remains in the county at this time.
Properties in the surrounding area are similarly zoned and the City of Bozeman has
multiple areas throughout the City designated as R-3 and R-4. The proposed zoning will provide for a variety of housing types and land uses and follows the goal of an
urban-scale development with a diverse mixture of possible uses. The R-4
designation can help to absorb a portion of the growth that is projected for the City
while the R-3 zoning is a less dense zoning district that could be supported by the neighbors to the west. The Subject Property’s anticipated development pattern is in
accordance with many objectives of community planning. This includes promoting mixed-use developments and higher density areas.
Several goals of the City of Bozeman Growth Policy/Community Plan can be facilitated through the annexation, zoning, and development of this property including:
N-1.2 Increase required minimum densities in residential districts. • Currently the property is zoned A-S, Agriculture Suburban in the County. While the intent of this goal may be that the City increase densities in the residential districts,
the City can also facilitate this goal by increasing residential densities as they annex properties. The Urban Neighborhood future land use designation covers almost all
the areas within the planning boundary that would be annexed in the future.
Comparable zoning districts within the Urban Neighborhood Designation include R-S, R-1, R-2, R-3. R-4, R-5, R-O, REMU, RMH, B-1, and PLI. These zoning districts
allow a range of densities, however since the Subject Property is adjacent to REMU
zoning, a mid-range density of R-3 and R-4 would be appropriate for the subject property.
N-1.11 Enable a gradual and predictable increase in density in developed areas over time. • The REMU (Eighty-6 Development) to R-4 to R-3 to County is a gradual and predictable transition from the City outward.
• By allowing the requested R-3 and R-4 zoning, increased density can be provided
along planned minor arterial roads (Catamount Street) and collector roads (Hidden Valley Road). These roads connect to the greater Bozeman area via other minor
arterial roads and principal arterial roads. While these roads are not built to current
355
city standards, future development will trigger the requirement for improvements. Given this, and the fact that 19th Street is just over a mile from the Subject Property,
density as described in the R-3 and R-4 zones is appropriate. Less dense zoning
designations may be more appropriate farther from the greater Bozeman area.
N-2.2 Revise the zoning map to support higher intensity residential districts near schools,
services, and transportation. • As mentioned above, existing and planned roads that this property would utilize for access are considered minor arterials and collector roads. Meadowlark Elementary
School is located approximately 2.0 miles from the Subject Property. Chief Joseph Middle School is located approximately 0.7 miles from the Subject Property and the
Gallatin High School is approximately 1.7 from the Subject Property.
N-3.5 Strongly discourage private covenants that restrict housing diversity or are contrary to City land development policies or climate action plan goals. • The R-3 zone is a less intense zone than R-4. This zone is planned adjacent to the neighbors on Watts Lane. The R-4 zone encourages a mix of housing types,
including single family, but at a higher intensity. Private covenants restricting various
housing types are not planned with this future development and rather, a mix of housing types will be proposed.
DCD-1.11 Pursue annexations consistent with the future land use map and adopted facility plans for development at urban intensity.
• The annexation proposed is consistent with the future land use map designation of
Urban Neighborhood. The facility plans also intend for future growth and development in this area, and more specifically to this property. The property is
located within the City’s newly updated wastewater basin which discharges to a
newly planned Valley Center Lift Station. The Subject Property can discharge sewer to this new future lift station via several route options, being Hidden Valley Road or
private easement along the east side of the property.
The Subject Property is also within the City’s 2015 water service plan area. This plan
indicates that a new 12-inch water main is planned for future growth and
development south and east of the Subject Property. It also indicates that a new eight-inch water main is planned east of the Subject Property.
DCD-2.1 Coordinate infrastructure development, land use development, and other City actions and priorities through community planning.
• Infrastructure development is being facilitated through the City and adjacent
landowners. The City recently expanded their sewer facilities and via the new Valley Center Lift Station. This expansion will support future development of the Subject
Property. Land use development will be proposed after this annexation and zoning
are approved. The development will be compliant with the Bozeman codes and regulations.
DCD-2.2 Support higher density development along main corridors and at high visibility
street corners to accommodate population growth and support businesses. • The proposed zoning will facilitate higher density development along Hidden Valley
Road, a minor arterial/collector road, and future development along Catamount Lane,
a minor arterial. This density will support the future business development to the east and northeast.
356
DCD-2.6 Evaluate and pursue joint mitigation of development impacts across multiple developments.
• Coordination for future infrastructure, including sewer, water, and roads will occur
with the development to the east and northeast.
RC-3.3 Prioritize annexations that enable the incremental expansion of the City and its
utilities. • The future development of the Subject Property will facilitate incremental expansion of the City and its utilities. The benefit of approving this property for annexation is
that infrastructure improvements and utility expansion will happen at the cost of the developer, rather than the City.
RC-3.4 Encourage annexation of land adjacent to the City prior to development and
encourage annexation of wholly surrounded areas. • This request will annex land adjacent to the City prior to the full development
proposal coming forward.
b. Will the new zoning secure safety from fire and other dangers? How?
- Yes, the Subject Property will be served by the City of Bozeman Fire and Police
Departments and designed accordingly. Future development of the property will be required to conform to all City of Bozeman public safety, building, and land use
requirements. This includes fire protection as required by the City, setbacks as required by the zoning for fire separation, and building code requirements.
c. Will the new zoning promote public health, safety and welfare? How?
- Yes, as stated in Section 38.100.040.A, the zoning is intended to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. The zoning proposed will recognize and
balance the various rights and responsibilities relating to land ownership, use, and
development identified in the United States and State of Montana constitutions, and statutory and common law; it implements the City's adopted growth policy; and
meets the requirements of state law.
Environmental Protection: This project will help facilitate City sewer and water main
extensions, which ultimately will help connect additional properties to City utility service and eliminate on-site septic systems and drainfields in the area. The zoning
regulations will also protect natural resources such as the wetlands on site.
Land Use Regulations: The zoning regulations will regulate how the land can be
used, ensuring that incompatible land uses are separated. For example, in this
instance, the proposed zoning will allow comparable uses to adjacent planned and existing uses.
Traffic Management: The zoning and annexation process will require dedication of road easements, promoting safer traffic flow and reducing congestion. The
development process will require a traffic study which will spur any required traffic
improvements.
357
Building Standards: The zoning regulations include building standards such as setback requirements, height restrictions, and parking regulations. These standards
will help ensure that buildings are constructed safely and in a way that contributes
positively to the overall streetscape and urban environment.
Social Equity: The proposed R-4 zoning can be used to promote social equity by
encouraging a mixed-income neighborhood and attainable housing developments. By providing a range of housing options, the zoning can help prevent segregation
and promote diverse, inclusive communities.
d. Will the new zoning facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks and other public requirements? How?
- Yes, the development will allow the consideration of existing conditions and identification of enhancements warranted to provide additional services needed by
the new development. Section 38.350.030.D requires that whenever any property is
annexed that prior to the issuance of any building permits, municipal water distribution, municipal sanitary sewer collection and streets must be provided to the
site. Each building site must utilize and be connected to both the municipal water
distribution and municipal sanitary sewer collection systems. Installation of improvements is subject to Division 38.270 of the Municipal Code.
Park area requirements will be reviewed per Section 38.420 and there are schools within the area to accommodate educational needs.
e. Will the new zoning provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air? How?
- Yes, City regulations include requirements for lighting in Section 38.570.060.
Adequate provisions of air are considered when setback, on-site open space, and building design standards are taken into consideration.
f. Will the new zoning have an effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems? How?
- The development will include provisions for non-motorized transportation routes throughout the Subject Property including pedestrian trails. The new development
will add traffic to the existing traffic system and these effects will be evaluated with the future development. Per the City of Bozeman Community Plan/Growth
Policy, there is not a requirement for a development to be less impactful than the
existing conditions, whether it be text or map amendment that is the focus. The City relies upon its long-range transportation plan to evaluate transportation
needs over the long term for motorized vehicles as well as bikes and pedestrians.
The park and trail plan also considers options for extending the trail network.
Additionally, new development contributes to the creation of additional capacity through dedication of right-of-way, construction or reconstruction of streets,
payment of impact fees, and other contributions as may be applicable to a specific project. These requirements may mitigate the impacts of additional
development. Development that is more intense requires greater transportation
capacity. Therefore, it is good, but not required, to have more intensive districts
358
near arterial and collector roads, just as we have planned.
g. Does the new zoning promote compatible urban growth? How?
- This development is consistent with City master planning and provides options for
high-density residential housing within the R-4 zoning district. The proposed R-3
zoning also provides a transitional zone between the existing REMU designation of the Eighty-6 Development to the east, the existing low-density residential County
uses to the west, and the existing trailer court to the north. Similar uses are allowed
in the planned zoning districts as to the adjacent zoning districts. Existing zoning regulations, building, and site design standards will lessen impacts to adjacent
lands/persons.
h. Does the new zoning promote the character of the district? How?
- Yes, the character of the district will be maintained with this development. It will
integrate with many of the developing areas around the subject property including the existing County property and the newly annexed City land that is adjacent.
Additionally, the residential character of the area will be maintained as the
predominate use within the R-3 and R-4 zone is residential.
i. Does the new zoning address the affected area’s peculiar suitability for particular uses? How?
- The proposed land uses with this development match the suitability of the affected area. The property is suitable for residential development associated with this zoning
designation. There are no significant constraints related to floodplains, human-wildlife
conflict, or steep slopes. Prior to issuance of any permits, the property will undergo a wetlands determination and pursue mitigation if necessary.
j. Was the new zoning adopted with a view of conserving the values of buildings? How?
- The existing homes on-site are not considered to be historic or of historic value.
There is no defined development plans to impact these buildings currently. It is not
anticipated that the values of surrounding buildings will be lessened since the predominant land use within the proposed zoning districts is residential.
k. How does the new zoning encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area? How?
- The Bozeman Community Plan shows appropriate uses for this area. Zoning this
property as R-3 and R-4 is appropriate when considering existing and planned
densities. Overall, the development will create living opportunities for the community and for professionals working in this area of the City. The future development of the
property to the east will be supported by the residential development planned for the Subject Property and essentially reinforce the uses of the land.

RECOMMENDATION:Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials,
public comment, and all information presented, I hereby adopt the findings
presented in the staff report for application 24024 and move to recommend
approval of the 1920 West Babcock Zone Map Amendment, with
contingencies required to complete the application processing.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:The owner, Maloney Holdings, LLC, 101 South Main Street, Suite 301, Sioux
Falls, SD 57104, submitted application to rezone a property totaling 0.249
acres, plus adjacent right-of-way, from R-O to B-2M. The property is
currently vacant after the recent tear down of the previous building on the
property. No future development plans were submitted with the application.
However, the property owners previously submitted a concept review for a
proposed 5-unit residential building (Concept 23-209). The applicant owns
the three adjacent properties zoned R-O.
The property is not within the NCOD, a historic district, or a city recognized
neighborhood. The underlying Future Land Use designation is Community
Commercial Mixed-Use. Both the existing R-O and proposed B-2M zoning are
implementing districts of the Community Commercial Mixed-Use
classification. The properties directly to the south are in the Urban
Neighborhood designation. See Map Series in Section 1 below.
360
West Babcock Street is a designated Collector and South 20th Avenue is a
local street according to the Bozeman Transportation Master Plan, 2017
Update. As illustrated in the map series below, the site is adjacent to a fully
built street network.
Community Development Board (Zoning Commission) Summary:
The Zoning Commission held a public hearing on June 3, 2024. One member
of the public commented on the application.
The Commission discussed the tension between the desires of the growth
policy while acknowledging and respecting the existing neighborhoods. For
example, it was noted that when the Baxter Hotel was constructed it’s
possible the community felt it was not in context. However, as time has
passed the size and bulk of the building is a part of the fabric of the city.
Further, there appeared to be consensus that the size of the parcel limits the
ability to fulfill the desired intensity of the B-2M on a commercial corridor
that, in some scenarios, may be inconsistent with the goals and polices of
the growth policy. However, the was further discussion that the context of
the site, existing development in the area, and respect of adjacent
properties that indicates likely development on the site will be less than
permitted in the zone and be more appropriate for the neighborhood. In
conclusion, the Zoning Commission voted (7:0) to recommend approval of
the zone change request.
No written comment has been received as of the production of this report. A
video recording of the Zoning Commission review can be viewed at the
following web link [External Web Link]. The agenda item begins at time
stamp 1:26:30. Board questions for the applicant and discussion begins at
2:02:30.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:There are no identified conflicts on this application.
ALTERNATIVES:1. Approve the application with contingencies as presented;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended
zoning;
3. Deny the application based on findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Open and continue the public hearing, with specific direction to staff or
the applicant to supply additional information or to address specific items.
FISCAL EFFECTS:No unusual fiscal effects have been identified. No presently budgeted funds
will be changed by this Zone Map Amendment.

and be more appropriate for the neighborhood. In conclusion, the Zoning Commission voted
(7:0) to recommend approval of the zone change request.

SECTION 4 - ZONE MAP AMENDMENT STAFF ANALYSIS AND
FINDINGS
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission must consider the following criteria (letters A-K). As an amendment is a legislative
action, the Commission has broad latitude to determine a policy direction. The burden of proof
that the application should be approved lies with the applicant.
A zone map amendment must be in accordance with the growth policy (criteria A) and be designed
to secure safety from fire and other dangers (criteria B), promote public health, public safety, and
general welfare (criteria C), and facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
parks and other public requirements (criteria D). Therefore, to approve a zone map amendment
the Commission must find Criteria A-D are met.
In addition, the Commission must also consider criteria E - K, and may find the zone map
amendment to be positive, neutral, or negative with regards to these criteria. To approve the zone
map amendment, the Commission must find the positive outcomes of the amendment outweigh
negative outcomes for criteria E-K. In determining whether the criteria are met, Staff considers the
entire body of regulations for land development. Standards which prevent or mitigated negative
impacts are incorporated throughout the entire municipal code but are principally in Chapter 38,
Unified Development Code.
Zoning review is discretionary. The city balances many priorities and competing outcomes by
threading the needle to create the best outcomes to benefit as many diverse goals as possible. The
State review criteria is rudimentary and fails to adequately convey the nuance involved in more
urban setting such as Bozeman, Missoula, Billings, Kalispell, and Great Falls. It is common for an
application to have both favorable and unfavorable influence on a particular criteria. An
unreserved finding of compliance is not required but staff may call out competing elements.
Therefore, a criteria may be weakly or strongly complied with.
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Criterion met. The BCP 2020, Chapter 5, p. 73, in the section titled Review Criteria for Zoning
Amendments and Their Application, discusses how the various criteria in 76-2-304 MCA are
applied locally. Application of the criteria varies depending on whether an amendment is for
the zoning map or for the text of Chapter 38, BMC. The first criterion for a zoning amendment
is accordance with a growth policy.
371
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 10 of 31
Future Land Use Map
The proposed amendment is a change to the zoning map. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze
compliance with the future land use map. Chapter 3 of the BCP 2020 addresses the future land
use map. The introduction to that chapter discusses the importance of the chapter. Following
are some excerpts.
“Future land use is the community’s fundamental building block. It is an illustration
of the City’s desired outcome to accommodate the complex and diverse needs of
its residents.”
“The land use map sets generalized expectations for what goes where in the
community. Each category has its own descriptions. Understanding the future land
use map is not possible without understanding the category descriptions.”
The area of this application is within the annexed area of the City and where there is anticipated
redevelopment within the City as discussed below. As shown on the maps in Section 1, on the
excerpt of the current future land use map, the property is designated as Community
Commercial Mixed-Use. The Community Commercial Mixed-Use designation description
reads:
“The Community Commercial Mixed-Use category promotes commercial areas
necessary for economic health and vibrancy. This includes professional and
personal services, retail, education, health services, offices, public administration,
and tourism establishments. Density is expected to be higher than it is currently in
most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings.
Residences on upper floors, in appropriate circumstances, are encouraged. The
urban character expected in this designation includes urban streetscapes, plazas,
outdoor seating, public art, and hardscaped open space and park amenities. High
density residential areas are expected in close proximity.
Developments in this land use area should be located on one or two quadrants of
intersections of the arterial and/or collector streets and integrated with transit and
non-automotive routes. Due to past development patterns, there are also areas
along major streets where this category is organized as a corridor rather than a
center. Although a broad range of uses may be appropriate in both types of
locations, the size and scale is to be smaller within the local service areas. Building
and site designs made to support easy reuse of the building and site over time is
important. Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated, pedestrian
friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single use. Higher
intensity uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to significant
streets and intersections. Building height or other methods of transition may be
required for compatibility with adjacent development.
372
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 11 of 31
Smaller neighborhood scale areas are intended to provide local service to an area
of approximately one half-mile to one mile radius as well as passersby. These
smaller centers support and help give identity to neighborhoods by providing a
visible and distinct focal point as well as employment and services. Densities of
nearby homes needed to support this scale are an average of 14 to 22 dwellings
per net acre.”
The correlation between the future land use map of the growth policy and the zoning districts
is presented in Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020. As shown in the following
Correlation with Zoning Table, both R-O and B-2M districts are implementing districts of the
Community Commercial Mixed-Use future land use category.
Goals and Policies
A zoning amendment is also evaluated against the goals and policies of the BCP 2020. Most
of the goals and policies are not applicable to this application. Relevant goals and objectives
have been identified by staff. Conflict with the text of the growth policy hasn’t been identified.
The Short-Term Action list on page 63 of the BCP 2020 describes 14 items to implement the
growth policy. The first two relate to direct changes to the zoning map in support of listed
goals and objectives. These include increasing the intensity of zoning districts in already
developed areas. Beginning on page 71 of the BCP 2020 in the section titled Zoning
Amendment Review, the document discusses how the City implements zoning for new areas,
amendments to areas, and revisions to existing text. This section includes a discussion of when
the City may initiate a zoning change to a more intensive district to increase development
opportunities. This section demonstrates that the City, as a matter of policy, is supportive of
more intensive zoning districts and development, even within already developed areas. This
policy approach does not specify any individual district but does lean towards the more
intensive portion of the zoning district spectrum.
373
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 12 of 31
With individual property owner request to modify zoning, the applicant has the burden of proof
to show the proposed amendment is in the city’s best interest and furthers more goals and
policies of the BCP, 2020 than hinders. The applicant’s argument is that B-2M is an
implementing district for the FLU designation and that the draft development code map
revisions propose this property and those in the immediate vicinity show a change to B-2M.
While these statements are true, no further analysis or discussion is provided with the original
application. The city requested analysis to support the application which was provide on April
10, 2024. In addition to analysis, staff suggested the application would be more in compliance
with the goals and policies of the BCP 2020 if additional adjacent properties, under the same
ownership, were included in the application., No additional properties were added to the
request.
Section 38.300.110, BMC states that the intent and purposes of the commercial zoning
districts are to establish areas within the city that are primarily commercial. Subsection C
continues describing that the intent of the B-2M community business district-mixed is to
function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substantial growth and enhances
the character of the city. This district provides for a range of commercial uses that serve both
the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages the integration of multi -
household residential as a secondary use. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial
corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit. [Emphasis added.]
It is difficult to make positive findings for a single, small, isolated amendment when
considering the intent and purpose statements of the future land use and the specific zoning
district requested. However, pursuant to table 38.320.050 [External Web Link], form and
intensity standards for commercial zones, there is no minimum lot size in the B-2M zone.
While the size will limit viability of a mixed-use building there is sufficient size to
accommodate commercial building as show the previous use as an insurance office.
374
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 13 of 31
2021 aerial image of subject property (Bozeman GIS)
The North 7th corridor has a numerous small lot B-2M zoned properties. For example, the Rue
building on the northwest corner of 7th and Durston sits on a 27,974 square foot (0.6422 acre)
parcel. The Recompute building is on a 13,503 square foot (0.31 acre) site.
If approved, all types of short-term rentals are a permitted. The R-O zone restricts Type 3 short-
term rentals.
Considering the eclectic character of vicinity, the R-O and B-2M appear to be appropriate
zoning designations. The area is a transitional area between 19th Avenue, Main Street, and the
University Square Shopping center with a variety for residential structure types and
commercial activity with relatively small building size. The subject property lot size of lot will
limit bulk and mass of future building(s).
There is convenient access to many services. Cosmic Pizza, convenience store, dry cleaners,
two large grocery stores, fast food, drug store, and more. The proximity of these services help
explains the relatively high Walk Score.
There are no public open spaces near the site. Kirk Park is north and across Main Street with
the only controlled crossing at 19th and Main. The next closest park is Cooper Park one mile
to the east.
Staff did not identify goals and objectives the proposed amendment is in direct conflict with.
The most likely category for conflict might be under Theme 2, A City of Unique
Neighborhoods and neighbor character. However, goals and objectives related to
375
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 14 of 31
neighborhood elements are limited in their scope and do not address small single parcel
requests.
The applicant provided support for and analysis of, the BCP 2020 found in the Zone Map
Amendment Narrative, updated, and are hereby incorporated into this report. The applicant
provides justification for the map amendment on page 6 and 7 of the narrative by listing several
goals and objectives the request furthers. Staff generally agrees with exceptions. Objective N-
2.2 “Revise the zoning map to support higher intensity residential districts near
schools, services, and transportation.” The requested zoning is commercial in a commercially
designated area therefore, it is unclear how this objective is supported. Also, DCD-2.3, Review
and update minimum development intensity requirements in residential and non-residential
zoning districts. The application modifies the map, no changes to the standards are proposed.
Applicant Amended 5a Response:
“The Bozeman Community Development Plan has developed seven themes that
are identified as ‘community derived desired outcomes. Based on information taken
from these themes, the proposed B-2M zoning fits into the growth policy in numerous
ways. Throughout the seven themes identified, there are various areas where there is
an over-arching value for increasing density. These goals taken directly from the 2020
City Grown Development Plan document and support the desire for more density:
THEME 2 | GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIONS
N-2.2 Revise the zoning map to support higher intensity residential districts
near schools, services, and transportation.
N-3.7 Support compact neighborhoods, small lot sizes, and small floor plans,
especially through mechanisms such as density bonuses.
THEME 3 | GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIONS
DCD-2.2 Support higher density development along main corridors and at high
visibility street corners to accommodate population growth and support
businesses.
DCD-1.5 Identify underutilized sites, vacant, and undeveloped sites for
possible development or redevelopment, including evaluating possible
development incentives.
DCD-1.10 Support University efforts to attract development near campus.
DCD-2.3 Review and update minimum development intensity requirements in
residential and non-residential zoning districts.
DCD-2.7 Encourage the location of higher density housing and public transit
routes in proximity to one another.
376
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 15 of 31
There are certain characteristics between the two zones that are similar, like
building height allowance, that won’t negatively impact the re-zoning. There are
however differences between R-O and B-2M that will allow for an increase in density
in positive ways. Some of the setbacks are less in the B-2m zoning and there is a higher
coverage percentage that is allowed. This ensures a stronger utilization of the site to
allow for said increase in density.
As it stands now, the R-O zoning holds a larger requirement for parking. Changing to
the B-2M zoning will reduce the parking requirements, which will encourage more use
for public transportation, walking and biking. This responds well to the Goal M-1.4
listed under Theme 5 which states, “Develop safe, connected, and complementary
transportation networks for pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal
mobility devices (e-bikes, electric scooter powered wheelchairs, etc.).” It is possible to
alleviate parking congestion in these areas by utilizing more pedestrian and alternative
modes of transportation. There are two bus stops under a quarter mile away and any
future development will supply bike racks and adequate ADA accessibility. There are
grocery stores and other business in close proximity that further support a walkable
area.
While it is understood that the existing zoning of R-O is still active throughout the City
of Bozeman, the 2023 Community Development Plan is recommending removing the
R-O zoning entirely. This has not taken place yet and might not, however based on this
conjecture and lack of direction, re-zoning this site to a B-2M is a move toward
communal cohesion and consistency. B-2M will not be removed from zoning, while the
fate of R-O is heavily in question. Designing a development of any kind when the
guidelines are in question, has potential to have costly negative ramifications.
Numerous goals/themes express the importance of long-term impact, resilience, and
simplification of the zoning districts and re-zoning to a B-2M will be an appropriate
response to that. These goals are identified below:
THEME 1 | GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIONS
R-1.7 Be flexible: willingness and ability to adopt alternative strategies in
response to changing circumstances. -R-2: Pursue community decisions in a
manner that supports resilience.
R-2.1 Co-Benefits: Provide solutions that address problems across multiple
sectors, creating maximum benefit.
R-2.9 Long-Term and Lasting Impact: Create long-term gains to the community
with solutions that are replicable and sustainable, creating benefit for present
and future generations. (Best interests of the community to have workforce
housing and a diversity of uses)
THEME 3 | GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIONS
377
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 16 of 31
DCD-2.8 Revise the zoning ordinance, reducing the number of zoning districts
to be more consistent with the designated land use classifications, to simplify
the development process, and support affordability objectives of the plan.
In conclusion, changing from an R-O zoning to a B-2M is in accordance with the City
of Bozeman’s Growth Policy Plan. It will allow for a greater level of density, promote
pedestrian and alternative forms of travel, create communal stability within long term
zoning, and allow for a stronger level of future adaptability.”
In conclusion, the B-2M zoning designation is in accordance with the growth policy.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Criterion met. The subject property is currently served by City of Bozeman Fire and Police
Departments. Future development of the property will be required to conform to all City of
Bozeman public safety, building, transportation, and land use requirements, which will
generally ensure this criterion is met.

C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare.
Criterion met. City development standards included in Chapter 38, Unified Development
Code, building codes, and engineering standards all ensure that this criterion is met. Adequate
water and sewer supply and conveyance provide for public health through clean water. Rapid
and effective emergency response provides for public safety. The City’s standards ensure that
adequate services are provided prior to building construction which advances this criterion.
378
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 17 of 31
General welfare has been evaluated during the adoption of Chapter 38 and found to be
advanced by the adopted standards. Provision of parks, control of storm water, and other
features of the City’s development standards also advance the general welfare.
The subject property is well connected to the City’s transportation system and is served by
fully constructed intersections and streets. Sidewalks are constructed in all directions.
Development on site will require any improvements not installed to mitigate impacts and meet
the city’s complete street policies.

D. Facilitate the provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other
public requirements.
Criterion met. The City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation, water,
sewer, parks, sustainability, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The adopted
379
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 18 of 31
plans allow the City to consider existing conditions; and identify enhancements needed to
provide service to new development. See page 19 of the BCP 2020 for a listing. The City
implements these plans through its capital improvements program (CIP). The CIP identifies
individual projects, project construction scheduling, and financing of construction for
infrastructure. Private development must demonstrate compliance with standards prior to
construction. Dedication of school facilities is not required by municipal zoning standards.
However, School District 7 will have opportunity to review and comment on future
development.
Section 38.300.020.C, BMC, states that the designation of a zoning district does not guarantee
approval of new development until the City verifies the availability of needed infrastructure.
All zoning districts in Bozeman enable a wide range of uses and intensities. At time of future
subdivision or site plan review the need for individual services can be more precisely
determined. No subdivision or site plan is approved without demonstration of adequate
capacity.
38.300.020.C, “Placement of any given zoning district on an area depicted on the zoning
map indicates a judgment on the part of the city that the range of uses allowed within
that district are generally acceptable in that location. It is not a guarantee of approval for
any given use prior to the completion of the appropriate review procedure and
compliance with all the applicable requirements and development standards of this
chapter and other applicable policies, laws and ordinances. It is also not a guarantee of
immediate infrastructure availability or a commitment on the part of the city to bear the
cost of extending services.”

Water and sewer are available to the site. A 10-inch vitrified clay sewer line on the eastern side
of the property. A 10-inch ductile iron water main is in West Babcock Street and a 6-inch
carrier water line is under South 20th Avenue.
It is likely future development will increase impacts on services, adequate capacity is presently
available to meet demand.
E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
Criterion met. This criterion is not about individual preferences for a given degree of visual
openness but about preservation of public health. The B-2M district provides adequate light
and air through the Bozeman Unified Development Code’s standards for park and recreation
requirements, on-site open space for residential uses, maximum building height, lot coverage,
and setback requirements.
The form and intensity standards, Division 38.320, provide minimum lot areas, lot widths, lot
coverage and maximum floor area ratios, and prescribe require minimum separation from
property lines and limits building heights. Section 38.520.030 requires building placement to
ensure access to light and air. Division 38.420 and Section 38.520.060 require dedication of
parks and on-site open spaces to meet needs of residents. The standards provide a reasonable
provision of adequate light and air. Zone edge transitions do not apply to this property if the
B-2M is approved pursuant to section 38.320.060, BMC.
In addition to the zoning standards, adopted building codes contain more detailed requirements
for air circulation, window placement, and building separation that further ensure the intent of
this criterion is satisfied.

F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Criterion met. Potential future development within a zoning district of B-2M will affect the
City’s motorized and non-motorized transportation system with potential increased traffic and
vehicle trips along West Babcock Street and 19th Avenue. The subject property is located on a
street corner with a constructed Collector Street to the north and a local street to the west. Due
to the small size potential impacts will be limited and therefore can be accommodated by the
existing street network.
The proposed zoning will allow for a higher density of uses than is currently allowed under R-
O zoning district. The City’s transportation plan is used to evaluate transportation needs over
the long term throughout the City and will evaluate impacts of motorized vehicles along with
bikes and pedestrians. The parks and trails plan also examine and specify options for extensions
of the existing trail network through this site. Future site development will examine impacts in
greater detail on the transportation network, parks, and trails system, and municipal facilities
when specific construction has been identified. Furthermore, these future development reviews
will ensure that development under the new zoning will comply with the City’s standards for
the provision of onsite parking for bicycles and vehicles, as well as the requirements for onsite
circulation.
Traffic impacts will be studied by the development team to demonstrate compliance with the
City’s long-range transportation plans. Future project development will ensure compliance
with the acceptable traffic limits identified in the transportation plans, as well as provide for
the dedication of rights of way, construction or reconstruction of streets and trails, payment of
impact fees, and other contributions as will be applicable to this project.
As previously mentioned, the City conducts extensive planning for municipal transportation,
water, sewer, parks, sustainability, and other facilities and services provided by the City. The
382
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 21 of 31
adopted plans allow the City to consider existing conditions; and identify enhancements
needed to provide service to new development.
The subject properties are within the City’s land use, transportation, parks, and utility planning
areas. Those plans show this property as developing within the City when development is
proposed. The 2025-2049 CIP [External link] shows transportation system expansion projects
on Kagy Blvd and Stucky Road that will improve all mode transportation capacity in the area.
Development consistent with City standards will add/improve connectivity of sidewalks to
SRX South development and the Blackwood Groves development.
Future development and redevelopment of the property will be required to comply with
transportation-related standards and reviewed for impacts on the surrounding streets,
intersections, and sidewalks, and improvements to the transportation network to serve the site,
which will improve the overall transportation system. These improvements include provisions
for non-motorized transportation systems. The change in zoning district will have a minimal
effect on required road improvements, pedestrian or bicycle facilities, or similar compliance
with standards. The site is adjacent to one collector (West Babcock) and one local street (20th
Avenue), both of which have capacity to carry additional traffic.

The site has a Walk Score of 83, a Transit score of 26, and a Bike Score of 80. According to
Walk Score® the walks score measures the walkability of any address based on the distance
to nearby places and pedestrian friendliness.
90 – 100 Walker’s Paradise. Daily errands do not require a car.
383

50 – 69 Somewhat walkable. Some errands can be accomplished on foot.
25 – 49 Car-Dependent. Most errands require a car.
0 – 24 Car-Dependent. Almost all errands require a car.
The site is reasonably served by the Streamline Bus service. Two routes, Gold and Purple lines,
currently make stops at the intersection of Main and Babcock. According to Walk Score, the
transit score for the site is 26 out of 100. However, Streamline routes are subject to change
without notice.
These values are provided by Walk Score, a private organization which presents information
on real estate and transportation through walkscore.com. The algorithm which produces these
numbers is proprietary. A score is not an indication of safety or continuity of services or routes.
Scores are influenced by proximity of housing, transit, and services and expected ability, as
determined by the algorithm, to meet basic needs without using a car. Sites located on the edge
of the community have lower scores than those in the center of the community as the area is
still under development and therefore diversity of uses is less than in fully established areas.
There are no adopted development standards relating to the walk score.
G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Criterion met. The Bozeman Community Plan establishes a preferred and compatible
development pattern. “The land use map sets generalized expectations for what goes where in
the community… The land use categories and descriptions provide a guide for appropriate
development and redevelopment locations for civic, residential, commercial, industrial, and
other uses. The future land use designations are important because they aim to further the
vision and goals of the City through promoting sustainability, citizen and visitor safety, and a
high quality of life that will shape Bozeman’s future.” (Community Plan p. 51).
The City’s future land use map designates the properties as Community Commercial Mixed-
Use. These designations correlate with several zoning districts including the B-2M district
proposed by the applicants. The districts were developed by the City to promote appropriate
urban growth compatible with the areas of the City as identified on the future land use map.
Based on the land use map designations and correlated zoning districts in the plan and proposed
by the applicants, the zone map amendment would promote compatible urban growth. Also
see the discussion in (H) below.
The subject property is bounded by existing B-2 zones on the north and west sides, R-O zone
to the east, and R-3 (Moderate Density Residential) to the south. There is no street or alley
separation between the proposed B-2M and the existing residential use to the south. The city’s
zone edge transition standards, section 38.320.060.B [External Link], would not apply. Single
use buildings, residential or commercial, are allowed to build to build to four (4) stories or 50
384
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 23 of 31
feet, whichever is less. Buildings in the R-3 zone have a maximum height of 36 or 46 feet
depending on roof pitch. The existing structure is a two-story building.

H. Character of the district.
Criterion met. Section 76-2-302, MCA says “…legislative body may divide the municipality
into districts of the number, shape, and area as are considered best suited to carry out the
purposes [promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community] of this
part.” Emphasis added.
This proposal amends the zoning map and not the text. Therefore, no element of this
amendment modifies the standards of any zoning district. The character of the districts as
created by those standards remains intact.
As noted above, the City Commission has latitude in considering the geographical extents of a
zoning district. It is not expected that zoning freeze the character of an area in perpetuity.
Rather, it provides a structured method to consider changes to the character. This is especially
true when applying zoning to undeveloped areas as any new construction will alter the physical
characteristics of the area.
The City has defined compatible development as:
385
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 24 of 31
“The use of land and the construction and use of structures which is in harmony with
adjoining development, existing neighborhoods, and the goals and objectives of the
city's adopted growth policy. Elements of compatible development include, but are not
limited to, variety of architectural design; rhythm of architectural elements; scale;
intensity; materials; building siting; lot and building size; hours of operation; and
integration with existing community systems including water and sewer services,
natural elements in the area, motorized and non-motorized transportation, and open
spaces and parks. Compatible development does not require uniformity or monotony of
architectural or site design, density or use.”
The City has adopted many standards to identify and avoid or mitigate demonstrable negative
impacts of development. These will support the ability of future development in [B-2M] to be
compatible with adjacent development and consistent with the residential and commercial
character of the area.
Community business district-mixed (B-2M)
1. The intent of the B-2M community business district-mixed is to function as a vibrant
mixed-use district that accommodates substantial growth and enhances the
character of the city. This district provides for a range of commercial uses that serve
both the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages the integration
of multi-household residential as a secondary use. Design standards emphasizing
pedestrian- oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone
is appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by
transit.
The city has adopted many standards to identify and avoid or mitigate demonstrable negative
impacts of development. These will support the ability of future development in the proposed
B-2M district to be compatible with the proposed adjacent mixed-use district, where both will
help serve the expanding residential development within this southern region of the city. The
proposed zone district allows the applicant to construct a variety of commercial-sized
buildings as well as some secondary residential uses like townhomes and apartment
buildings.
There is a mix of uses in the immediate vicinity including, fast food restaurants, gas station,
multi-unit and single family residential, general retail, and a variety of others uses. The
property is not within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District, a historic district, or
any other designated area.

I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Neutral. Future uses for construction on the site are not finalized at this time, so the suitability
of the site for particular uses is not easily evaluated. However, considering the context of the
site and previous applications by the applicant for a residential building it seems reasonable
assumption residential is the desired use. Historically, the site was used as an office. Adjacent
properties to the east and south are residential use and the building to the west is a small
commercial use building. The B-2M zone allows a wide variety of use although assumes
commercial nature, see criterion A above.
The proposed B-2M district can support many types of urban development that are likely to
serve the immediate area and region as a result of its location and proximity to major
transportation networks. Final determination of suitability will occur during the site
development process. On the other hand, the parcel size and single lot undermine the ability of
the B-2M zone to achieve its stated outcome to, “… function as a vibrant mixed-use district
that accommodates substantial growth and enhances the character of the city. This district
provides for a range of commercial uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader
trade area and encourages the integration of multi-household residential as a secondary use.
Design standards emphasizing pedestrian-oriented design are important elements of this
district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas
served by transit.” The parcel is located on a Collector Street and served by nearby transit
required on-site parking, open space, parkland, utilities, stormwater and other necessary
components of development will limit its functionality for these outcomes.

J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Criterion met. The site is vacant. B-2M zoning will allow for new and diverse development
patterns on the subject parcel that compliment development on adjacent sites as does the
existing R-O designation. Future development must comply with the Bozeman Unified
Development Code which will ensure an appropriate scale and intensity of uses. As a result,
the proposed zone map amendment is not anticipated to negatively impact nearby building
values as the development pattern will be appropriate to the surrounding character of the
district.
The values of some buildings may improve in the future as new and improved amenities are
provided to the area as the site is developed according to the proposed B-2M district, while
other buildings’ values are unlikely to be impacted largely due to a robust real estate market
and lack of unmitigated offensive uses allowed by the proposed zoning district.
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Criterion met. As stated above, the BCP 2020 illustrates the most appropriate use of the land
through the future land use map. This application complies with the BCP 2020 by proposing
zone map amendments of districts that continue to implement the future land use map
designations. In this case, urban mixed-use development has been identified by the community
as the most appropriate types of development for the property. The Unified Development Code
contains standards, protections, and review processes to ensure the land is developed in ways
that are appropriate to a site’s context and according to the BCP 2020.
Similarly, as stated by the applicant, “… The city has a growing need for additional housing
and retail/commercial services to the surrounding community. The zoning will provide an
increased alignment with the Community Development Plan’s desired increase of density. The
proposed B-2M offers a positive opportunity to generate a greater sense of community scale
in an established neighborhood while providing an increase in flexibility; i.e. reducing in
parking requirements allow for a more optimal land use.”

APPENDIX A - DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND
BACKGROUND
The owner, Maloney Holdings, LLC, 101 South Main Street, Suite 301, Sioux Falls, SD 57104,
submitted application to rezone a property totaling 0.249 acres, plus adjacent right-of-way,
from R-O to B-2M. The property is currently vacant after the recent tear down of the previous
building on the property. No future development plans were submitted with the application.
However, the property owners previously submitted a concept review for a proposed 5-unit
residential building (Concept 23-209). Exterior elevations of the concept review were included
in the report to the Community Development Board. The elevations are not included in this
report because they are not germane to the review criteria for the zone map amendment. Other
members of the applicant’s family own the three adjacent properties zoned R-O.
389
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 28 of 31
The property is not within the NCOD, a historic district, or a city recognized neighborhood.
The underlying Future Land Use designation is Community Commercial Mixed Use. The
properties directly to the south are in the Urban Neighborhood designation. See Map Series in
Section 1 below.
West Babcock Street is a designated Collector and South 20th Avenue is a local street according
to the Bozeman Transportation Master Plan, 2017 Update. As illustrated in the map series
below, the site is adjacent to a fully built street network.
The primary differences between the B-2 and B-2M districts are slight differences in building
height, more permissive residential use, and reduction of parking requirements. Building
height in the B-2 district is between 50-60 feet, depending on roof pitch. Building height in B-
2M is five (5) stories or 60 feet. Residential use is allowed on the ground floor in without a
Conditional Use Permit in the B-2M zone and may be permitted in the B-2 district with an
approved CUP.
APPENDIX B - NOTICING AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Notice was sent via US first class mail to all owners of property located inside the site and
within 200 feet of the perimeter of the site. The project site was posted with a copy of the
notice. The notice was published in the Legal Ads section of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on
May 11 and 18, 2024. The Community Development Board acting in their capacity as the
Zoning Commission hearing is scheduled for June 3, 2024, and the City Commission public
hearing is scheduled for June 18, 2024.
No comment has been received as of the date of the production of this report.
APPENDIX C - PROJECT GROWTH POLICY AND PROPOSED ZONING
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The property is designated as community commercial mixed use in the Bozeman Community
Plan 2020 future land use map – see descriptions below.
“Community Commercial Mixed Use.” The growth policy states that, “activities within this
land use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community.
Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their
employee and customer base and are sized accordingly. A broad range of functions including
retail, education, professional and personal services, offices, residences, and general service
activities typify this designation. In the “center-based” land use pattern, Community
Commercial Mixed-Use areas are integrated with significant transportation corridors,
including transit and non-automotive routes, to facilitate efficient travel opportunities. The
density of development is expected to be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas
390
24024 Staff Report for the 1920 W Babcock Zone Map Amendment Page 29 of 31
in Bozeman and should include multi-story buildings…High density residential areas are
expected in close proximity. Including residential units on sites within this category, typically
on upper floors, will facilitate the provision of services and opportunities to persons without
requiring the use of an automobile… Mixed use areas should be developed in an integrated,
pedestrian friendly manner and should not be overly dominated by any single land use. Higher
intensity employment and residential uses are encouraged in the core of the area or adjacent to
significant streets and intersections. As needed, building height transitions should be provided
to be compatible with adjacent development.”
The Zoning Correlation Table on Page 58 of the Bozeman Community Plan, 2020 correlates
zoning districts with the Growth Policy’s land use categories, demonstrating that the proposed
zoning designation of B-2M correlates with the Growth Policy’s future land use designation
of “Community Commercial Mixed Use”.
Proposed Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The applicant has requested zoning of B-2M (Community Business District-Mixed). The intent
of the B-2M district is “…to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substantial
growth and enhances the character of the city. This district provides for a range of commercial
uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages the integration
of multi-household residential as a secondary use. Design standards emphasizing pedestrian-
oriented design are important elements of this district. Use of this zone is appropriate for arterial
corridors, commercial nodes and/or areas served by transit”.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Nicholas Ross - Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:Fowler Avenue Connection 30% Design Review
MEETING DATE:June 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Plan/Report/Study
RECOMMENDATION:Engage with City staff in review of 30% Fowler Avenue Connection plans.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver
information to the community and our partners.
BACKGROUND:The Department of Transportation and Engineering has reached the 30%
design phase of the Fowler Avenue Connection project. City Commission and
public are encouraged to review updated material for this phase of the
project found on the EnagageBZN project page:
https://engage.bozeman.net/fowler
The intent of this Commission Work Session will be to seek policy-level
feedback on the proposed design's compliance with the project approach
defined through the Pre-Design phase of the project. Special attention is
requested on the safety, multimodal, and environmental mitigation portions
of the design.
Commission has previously advanced the Fowler Avenue Connection project
out of the pre-design phase with the following criteria:
One travel lane in each direction
Left turn lanes as needed
Traffic signal intersection control at Babcock
Roundabout intersection control at Durston
Wide shared-use path on at least one side
Utilization of flexible design criteria to preserve existing tree canopy
Staff proposes to construct the 1.5 mile project in four phases; Oak to
Durston (2026), Durston to Babcock (2027), Babcock to Huffine (2028), and
finally the Huffine-Fowler intersection.
Design of each segment will be unique in order to align with existing
topography, environment, and areas of existing development.
394
The Oak to Durston segment will traverse east of the Section Line Ditch in
order to minimize tree removal and allow the ditch to remain open. The
proposed typical section of this segment includes one travel lane in each
direction, shared use path on both sides of the corridor, a landscaped media
with left turn pockets, full connection of Annie St, and roundabout
intersection control at Durston. Due to the offset alignment required to
minimize tree and ditch disturbance, this segment requires approximately 5
acres of right of way acquisition and has a projected total cost of
approximately $11.5m. This alignment also leaves approximately 5 acres of a
city-owned parcel located in the southwest quadrant of the Oak-Fowler
intersection.
The Durston to Babcock segment covers two distinct existing conditions. The
north half of this segments consists of an existing portion of Fowler Ave. This
portion was originally constructed as a half-street to serve the adjacent
subdivision to the east. The south half of this segment traverses a greenfield
alignment as no existing portion of Fowler has been constructed through this
County inholding. Based on public engagement received at the pre-design
phase, staff proposes a two-lane alignment through this segment in order to
maintain the existing curb-to-curb width along the existing portion of Fowler
and avoid environmental impacts in the south half of the segment. The
existing portion of Fowler will not be widened, nor will the existing path
along the west side of the corridor be impacted. Impacts to the ditch and
tree corridor will be limited to only what is necessary to tie the southern
potion of the alignment into the existing intersection at Babcock.
Multimodal connectivity is currently proposed in this segment by preserving
and improving the shared use path along the west side of the corridor and
constructing an on-street bike lane and sidewalk along the east side of the
corridor. Shared use path cannot be constructed along the east side of the
corridor without impacting the property frontages within right of way along
the existing portion of Fowler. The intersection of Fowler and Babcock is
proposed to be served by traffic signal control per the terms of the pre-
design phase. Due to the offset alignment required to minimize tree and
ditch disturbance, this segment requires approximately 3 acres of right of
way acquisition and has a projected total cost of approximately $6.6m.
The Babcock to Huffine segment will again generally consist of a two-lane
alignment in order to utilize the existing street infrastructure and reduce
environmental impacts to the ditch corridor. Minor widening will be
necessary to construct curb and gutter for stormwater control along the east
side of the street. The existing ditch and tree corridor will remain in current
condition. Multimodal connectivity will be achieved through this segment by
improving and extending the existing shared use path on the east side of the
ditch corridor and constructing a new on-street bike lane in the southbound
direction coupled with the existing sidewalk along the west side of the
corridor. This segment does not require right of way acquisition and has a
total projected cost of approximately $1.5m.
395
The Fowler-Huffine intersection portion of the project will align receiving
lanes across Huffine and adjust signal phasing to provide time for protected
left turns. The city seeks to implement the phasing improvements as an early
action project and measure further need for physical improvements before
committing to fund this portion of the project. This intersection
improvement has a total projected cost of $3.0m.
The full corridor project is scheduled to be funded through a combination of
Street Impact Fees and Arterial & Collector Assessments, as mandated by
State statute. Updated costs and funding splits will be provided in the
upcoming FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan following 30% design review.
Staff notes that the environmental investigation performed during the pre-
design phase of the project has informed 30% design. The proposed 30%
design contains substantially reduced impacts to the ditch and surrounding
trees compared to the alternatives studied previously in the pre-design
phase. Based on this previous documentation and advancement of a lesser-
impact design, no additional formal environmental review through NEPA or
MEPA processes (i.e. Categorical Exclusion, Environmental Impact
Statement, or Environmental Assessment) is anticipated. Staff anticipates at
least 50 trees may be required to be removed primarily for work needed to
tie the new Fowler alignment into existing intersection locations. Staff has
proposed the addition of more than 200 trees to the corridor as means of
offsetting this impact and improving the overall quality of the corridor.
Further permitting and mitigation be required as the design advances. Public
comment has suggested incorporating the expertise of an Ecologist to assist
the design team as we move into the 60% phase and staff intends to explore
that possibility.
The proposed 30% design meets all but one of the six criteria established for
project advancement in the pre-design phase. The proposed 30% design is
unable to achieve a continuous shared-use path in at least one direction. In
order to accomplish this goal, additional minor impacts would occur to the
tree and ditch corridor, the existing street frontage on the west side of
Fowler from Huffine to Babcock, or the existing street frontage on east side
of Fowler from Durston to its current end point along the southern boundary
of the Fowler Place subdivision. The Transportation Advisory Board, in their
role recommending policy-level suggestions to the City Commission, strongly
encouraged Commission to consider achieving this goal as a priority during
their a Work Session held at their May meeting.
Public engagement to date for the 30% design phase has come in three
forms. A public meeting was held on May 8, 2024 during which an open
house format was provided for one on one conversation with participants
followed by a staff presentation and Q&A session for all who wished to
attend. A special presentation was then made to the Transportation
Advisory Board on May 22, 2024 during which public comment was sought
396
and received. Finally, staff hosted a walking tour of the corridor on June 12,
2024 during which participants were able to walk the publicly-accessible
portions of the site and discuss the proposed 30% design.
Anticipated construction costs for the full Fowler Avenue Connection project
have been reduced from approximately $17.5m in the pre-design phase to a
current 30% design estimate of $13.9m. However, land costs have increased
substantially over that time as have the project's need for right of way in
order to avoid substantial impacts to the ditch and tree corridor. The
adopted FY25-29 Capital Improvement Plan has estimated approximately
$10.0m in anticipated right of way acquisition. Acquisition negotiations are
ongoing.
During this work session, Commission will be asked to provide policy
guidance around three conditions with inherent trade-offs:
continuous shared use path in at least one direction
connection of local streets
additional allocation of right of way
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:continuous shared use path in at least one direction
connection of local streets
additional allocation of right of way
ALTERNATIVES:As Suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Fiscal effects for the project have been identified in the FY25-29 Capital
Improvement Plan.

• Artwork Scope of Services;
• The Notice of Award;
• The Drawings, Plans, and Specifications;
• Artwork Plans and Drawings;

all the labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services necessary to perform and complete
the Construction Project.
d. During work on the Construction Project, and as part of the final completion
of the Construction Project, Contractor shall clean up the Project site, including the removal

furtherance of the Construction Project.
3. Time of Performance:

Project.
b. The City’s Representative must develop a Construction Schedule in
consultation with the Contractor. Contractor’s construction plan, methods of operation,
materials used, and individuals and subcontractors employed (collectively “Contractor’s
Resources”) are subject to the City’s approval at all times during the term of this Agreement
and must be such as to ensure the completion of the work in compliance with the deadlines
set in the Construction Schedule during the term of this Agreement. In the event the City
determines the Contractor’s Resources are inadequate to meet the approved Construction
Schedule, the City may order the Contractor to accelerate its performance to give
reasonable assurances of timely completion and quality results. Acceleration under this
section shall not be deemed a Change Order as defined in Section 5b below and the
Contractor shall receive no equitable adjustment for such acceleration. Nothing in this
section shall be interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its duties and responsibilities to plan
for and complete the work in a timely manner according to the Construction Schedule.
4. Liquidated Damages: If the Construction Project is not completed within the time
provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project remains

specified and retain that sum as payment for liquidated damages sustained by reason of the
Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.

5. Compensation:
a. City shall pay to Contractor, and Contractor shall accept as full payment for
the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of Two
Hundred Ninety-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Thirteen Dollars and Twenty-Eight Cents

accordance with the terms of a completed Compensation Schedule to be approved by the
City’s Representative. All invoices must be submitted to the City’s Representative.
b. If work not included within the original Construction Documents is
requested by City, such additional work and the related compensation shall be agreed to in

c. City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total amount of compensation to
be paid to the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the timely completion of the Construction Project and any and all “punch
list” items (“Retainage Amount”). The Retainage Amount shall be paid to Contractor thirty
(30) days after the City’s final acceptance of the portion of work for which a separate price
is stated in the specifications for the Construction Project.
e. Upon acceptance of final payment and for other good and valuable
consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its
officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and in
equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and

testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative
assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally present at the
site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this Agreement until
the completion of the Construction Project.
f. Contractor shall have a complete, accurate, and up-to-date set of
construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field examinations
of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to
be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the types
and character of equipment necessary for the work, the types of materials needed and the
sources of such materials, and the condition of the local labor market.

h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
Contractor’s compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
m. Contractor, at its expense and in consultation with the City, will arrange for
the preparation and installation of the Artwork on or before September 30, 2024. As further
delineated in paragraph 18, the City retains the right to repair, remove, or un-install the
Artwork at any time. Contractor bears the risk of loss for the Artwork up and until the title
of the Artwork transfers to the City.
n. For one-year from installation, Contractor expressly warrants that its
installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

Page 8 of 23
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.
15. Representatives and Notices:
a. City’s Representative: The City’s Representative for the purpose of this
Agreement shall be Ellie Staley or such other individual as City shall designate in writing.
Whenever approval or authorization from or communication or submission to City is
required by this Agreement, such communication or submission shall be directed to the
City’s Representative and approvals or authorizations shall be issued only by such
Representative; provided, however, that in exigent circumstances when City’s
Representative is not available, Contractor may direct its communication or submission to
other designated City personnel or agents and may receive approvals or authorization from
such persons.
b. Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor’s Representative for the
purpose of this Agreement shall be Rob Evans or such other individual as Contractor shall
designate in writing. Whenever direction to or communication with Contractor is required
by this Agreement, such direction or communication shall be directed to Contractor’s
Representative; provided, however, that in exigent circumstances when Contractor’s
Representative is not available, City may direct its direction or communication to other
designated Contractor personnel or agents.
c. Notices: All notices required by this Agreement shall be in writing

deemed given when delivered, if delivered by courier to Party’s address shown above

successful transmission report) to the email address or fax number provided by the Party’s
Representative; or on the fifth business day following mailing, if mailed by ordinary mail

16. Locating Underground Facilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
and determining the location of any underground facilities, including but not limited to, the
location of any pipelines or utility supply, delivery, or service lines in accordance with the
provisions of §69-4-501, et seq., Montana Code Annotated (MCA). Contractor shall make every
effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage
that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities,
this fact shall be noted in writing prior to commencement of such location work.
17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the timely
completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it
is installed. Until installation and title transfers, Contractor remains the owner of the Artwork. See
paragraph 9 of this Construction Agreement for Artwork-specific warranties which apply only to
the Artwork and not to the Construction Project in its entirety. For the Artwork, the Parties agree
to sign a Transfer and Assignment of Copyright for Public Artwork, attached as Exhibit D, prior
to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of
this Agreement, Contractor and its sub-contractors which are providing murals and other artwork
related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may
arise under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”), 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(A) and 113(d) or
any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.
Contractor agrees to provide Exhibit D and Exhibit E to its subcontractors for the
Artwork. Contractor must return executed copies to the City at the time title transfers. Once the
Transfer of Copyright for Public Artwork is executed, the City will become copyright owner and
take title in and to the Artwork, and any and all drawings, sketches, models, and any other
documents or materials created by the Contractor in furtherance of the Artwork. The Contractor
agrees to deliver to the City all such materials within five (5) working days of title transfer.
19. Maintenance, Repairs, and Alterations of the Artwork. The City recognizes that
due to the nature of the Artwork, maintenance is essential. Upon transfer of the title of Artwork
and legal ownership passes to the City, as set forth in paragraph 18, the City retains full discretion
and responsibility to maintain and protect the Artwork. The City retains the sole right to determine
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C
180409

Page 13 of 23
whether, when, and to what extent any repairs to the Artwork will occur. The City is not obligated
to provide the Contractor or any of its subcontractors for the Artwork notice before undertaking
any repairs or modifications to the Artwork. However, the City shall endeavor to notify the
Contractor of any proposed alteration of the Artwork. Contractor is responsible for maintaining a
current contact person and contact information to receive such notice. If Contractor receives such
notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is
under no obligation to provide notice to the Contractor if the Contractor fails to maintain such
contact information with the City.
Because the Artwork is attached to the City’s property, Contractor agrees to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the City against any and all liability, damage, loss, or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation, incurred by the City for any and all claims
raised under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
Should the City determine that the removal or extraction of the Artwork is necessary,
Contractor retains first priority to reclaim physical possession of the Artwork. In such an instance,
Contractor is responsible for all associated costs of such removal.
20. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state and
federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all workers’
compensation laws, all environmental laws including, but not limited to, the generation and
disposal of hazardous waste, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules,
codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City,
County, and State building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all non-
discrimination, affirmative action, and utilization of minority and small business statutes and
regulations.
21. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay: Contractor agrees that all hiring by Contractor
of persons performing this Agreement shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Contractor
will have a policy to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state
and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts. Contractor shall not refuse

Artist: Stella Nall
West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

1) Sculptures and mounting details will be closely coordinated with the City of Bozeman to ensure required
clearances are maintained. 30 feet of vertical clearance to be maintained over dumpster tip pads.
2) Prior to installation, the DBP will provide the City a structural engineer report with mounting details,
elevations, and height for review and approval. See the following pages for the preliminary design.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

Description:
“On the Horizon” is a large bobcat sculpture that brings attention
to the possibilities of Urban adventure in the Bozeman area. This
figure represents the methods of exploring the downtown area
on the ground level, just like how a bobcat would explore the
wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access
to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d world
to the 3-d world, the urban adventure can be realized through “on

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening
the connection of the 2-d world to the 3-d world the water adventure can be realized through the fish eye Lens.

all the labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services necessary to perform and complete
the Construction Project.
d. During work on the Construction Project, and as part of the final completion
of the Construction Project, Contractor shall clean up the Project site, including the removal

condition as at the commencement of the Construction Project.
2. City-Supplied Materials: The City may supply materials from time to time in
furtherance of the Construction Project.
3. Time of Performance:

consultation with the Contractor. Contractor’s construction plan, methods of operation,
materials used, and individuals and subcontractors employed (collectively “Contractor’s
Resources”) are subject to the City’s approval at all times during the term of this Agreement
and must be such as to ensure the completion of the work in compliance with the deadlines

determines the Contractor’s Resources are inadequate to meet the approved Construction
Schedule, the City may order the Contractor to accelerate its performance to give
reasonable assurances of timely completion and quality results. Acceleration under this
section shall not be deemed a Change Order as defined in Section 5b below and the
Contractor shall receive no equitable adjustment for such acceleration. Nothing in this
section shall be interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its duties and responsibilities to plan
for and complete the work in a timely manner according to the Construction Schedule.
4. Liquidated Damages: If the Construction Project is not completed within the time
provided by this Agreement, the City may deduct for each day the Construction Project remains

Contractor’s failure to complete the Construction Project on time.

the performance of this Agreement and the Construction Project, the amount of Two

accordance with the terms of a completed Compensation Schedule to be approved by the
City’s Representative. All invoices must be submitted to the City’s Representative.

c. City shall retain five percent (5%) of the total amount of compensation to
be paid to the Contractor to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the timely completion of the Construction Project and any and all “punch
list” items (“Retainage Amount”). The Retainage Amount shall be paid to Contractor thirty
(30) days after the City’s final acceptance of the portion of work for which a separate price
is stated in the specifications for the Construction Project.
e. Upon acceptance of final payment and for other good and valuable
consideration, Contractor shall and hereby does release and forever discharge City, its
officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and in
equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and

testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative
assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally present at the
site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this Agreement until
the completion of the Construction Project.

construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field examinations
of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to
be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the types
and character of equipment necessary for the work, the types of materials needed and the
sources of such materials, and the condition of the local labor market.

h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.

m. Contractor, at its expense and in consultation with the City, will arrange for
the preparation and installation of the Artwork on or before September 30, 2024. As further

Artwork at any time. Contractor bears the risk of loss for the Artwork up and until the title
of the Artwork transfers to the City.
n. For one-year from installation, Contractor expressly warrants that its
installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

Page 8 of 23
the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly

effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage
that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities,

17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the timely
completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it
is installed. Until installation and title transfers, Contractor remains the owner of the Artwork. See
paragraph 9 of this Construction Agreement for Artwork-specific warranties which apply only to
the Artwork and not to the Construction Project in its entirety. For the Artwork, the Parties agree
to sign a Transfer and Assignment of Copyright for Public Artwork, attached as Exhibit D, prior
to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of
this Agreement, Contractor and its sub-contractors which are providing murals and other artwork
related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may
arise under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”), 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(A) and 113(d) or
any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.
Contractor agrees to provide Exhibit D and Exhibit E to its subcontractors for the
Artwork. Contractor must return executed copies to the City at the time title transfers. Once the
Transfer of Copyright for Public Artwork is executed, the City will become copyright owner and
take title in and to the Artwork, and any and all drawings, sketches, models, and any other
documents or materials created by the Contractor in furtherance of the Artwork. The Contractor
agrees to deliver to the City all such materials within five (5) working days of title transfer.
19. Maintenance, Repairs, and Alterations of the Artwork. The City recognizes that
due to the nature of the Artwork, maintenance is essential. Upon transfer of the title of Artwork
and legal ownership passes to the City, as set forth in paragraph 18, the City retains full discretion
and responsibility to maintain and protect the Artwork. The City retains the sole right to determine

whether, when, and to what extent any repairs to the Artwork will occur. The City is not obligated
to provide the Contractor or any of its subcontractors for the Artwork notice before undertaking
any repairs or modifications to the Artwork. However, the City shall endeavor to notify the
Contractor of any proposed alteration of the Artwork. Contractor is responsible for maintaining a
current contact person and contact information to receive such notice. If Contractor receives such
notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is
under no obligation to provide notice to the Contractor if the Contractor fails to maintain such
contact information with the City.
Because the Artwork is attached to the City’s property, Contractor agrees to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the City against any and all liability, damage, loss, or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation, incurred by the City for any and all claims
raised under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
Should the City determine that the removal or extraction of the Artwork is necessary,
Contractor retains first priority to reclaim physical possession of the Artwork. In such an instance,
Contractor is responsible for all associated costs of such removal.
20. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state and
federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all workers’
compensation laws, all environmental laws including, but not limited to, the generation and
disposal of hazardous waste, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules,
codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City,
County, and State building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all non-
discrimination, affirmative action, and utilization of minority and small business statutes and
regulations.
21. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay: Contractor agrees that all hiring by Contractor
of persons performing this Agreement shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Contractor
will have a policy to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state
and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts. Contractor shall not refuse
employment to a person, bar a person from employment, or discriminate against a person in
compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion,
creed, political ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual
orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of
the position require an age, physical or mental disability, marital status or sex distinction.
Contractor shall be subject to and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section
140, Title 2, United States Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.

West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

Description:
“On the Horizon” is a large bobcat sculpture that brings attention
to the possibilities of Urban adventure in the Bozeman area. This
figure represents the methods of exploring the downtown area
on the ground level, just like how a bobcat would explore the
wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access
to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d world
to the 3-d world, the urban adventure can be realized through “on
the horizon”. Front Elevation

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening
the connection of the 2-d world to the 3-d world the water adventure can be realized through the fish eye Lens.
