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: On November 27, 2023, property owner Fifth and Villard Apartments, LLC submitted an application for a commercial non-residential certificate of appropriateness, demolition and site plan proposing “The Guthrie” building (the “Application”). The application site is zoned R5 (residential mixed-use high density) and is within the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD). The application proposed a five floor multifamily residential building with a total area of approximately 64,860 feet and 111 residential units including 56 as affordable units and relying on the deep incentives provision at 38.380.030, BMC. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: 3 In the beginning of March 2024, the application was publicly noticed. On March 11th, neighborhood association member Noah Ten Broek reached out to the applicant, Andy Holloran of HomeBase Partners to facilitate a dialog regarding neighborhood concerns On March 27th, the neighborhood association met with the developer at the AC Hotel in Downtown Bozeman. Emily Talago, INC representative for Midtown, announced she would be recording the meeting to ensure notification and consent by the attendees. Audio recording of that meeting was submitted into the public record. On April 2nd, during general public comment of the Bozeman City Commission meeting, over 40 residents spoke asking the commission to consider reclaiming review authority. From March 11th to April 8th (the duration of the noticing period) 166 written public comments were received, all against the project. On April 16th pursuant to 38.200.010.B.2, the City Commission voted unanimously to reclaim their role as review authority over the application. On April 29th, 2024 The Midtown Neighborhood Association held their annual meeting where concerns were expressed regarding the pace and intensity of redevelopment. On May 22nd, the Midtown Neighborhood Association Steering Committee held a meeting during which they held a work session regarding the project. The planning department then sent the application back to the developer for an additional review cycle. On May 28th, 2024, the project was re-noticed. Media Coverage: 4 Letters to the Editor 1.
