Currently one building is complete and operational on the Innovation Campus (IC), the
Advanced Research Lab (ARL). Two additional buildings are currently under construction, the
80,000 sq ft Industry Building and the 78,000 sq ft Aurora Building. A fourth building is under
negotiations. On March 19, 2024 the MSUIC received approval of their Planned Development
Zone (PDZ) application. Staff is requesting budget authority to spend up to $47,600 of existing
cash-on-hand to move projects and development agreements forward in the District. These
funds could also be devoted to the design or construction of public infrastructure that serves
the District.
Development Agreement with Big Sky ICINF, LLC $3,599,178*
Please note that there is currently a development agreement, adopted pursuant to
Resolution 5420, with Big Sky ICINF, LLC to reimburse the developer for the construction of
public infrastructure related to the construction of two buildings within the District on the MSU
Innovation Campus. The development agreement is not a guarantee of reimbursement or
bonding for reimbursement. Road network infrastructure is complete on the Innovation
Campus. Once the buildings are complete, a tax generation analysis will determine if the debt
coverage ratio exists to bond for reimbursement to the developer for the improvements.
*A budget amendment related to expenditure of bond proceeds is likely in this fiscal year.

THE CPSE® DIFFERENCE
The mission of the Center for Public Safety Excellence® is: “To lead the fire and emergency service to
excellence through the continuous quality improvement process of
accreditation, credentialing, and education.”
By teaching, coaching, guiding, and advising, CPSE’s Technical
Advisor Program (TAP) strives to provide agencies the tools to
internalize continuous quality improvement and thereby achieve excellence.
TAP places great importance on thorough preparation for each project including:
• A clear understanding of the agency’s background, goals and objectives, and the complex issues
they are facing,
• A workplan that is comprehensive, well designed, and provides ample opportunity for stakeholder
input,
• Sufficient resources and a commitment to successfully complete the project within the desired
time frame at a reasonable cost, and
• A commitment to support the agency after the Strategic Plan is adopted.
TAP uses contemporary methods and enlists energetic and positive individuals to help facilitate agency
work. Our advisors personalize their approach and garner candid feedback from stakeholders while
putting stakeholders at ease. The end result is a truly strategic rather than tactical plan.
SCOPE
The purpose of a strategic plan is to identify and provide a process that envisions the future by
accomplishing organizational visions. A well-crafted strategic plan, guided by good management, and
executed by committed personnel will translate to improved effectiveness, efficiency, and better quality of
services being delivered. CPSE believes the most successful strategic planning efforts involve both internal
and external stakeholders.
The Community-Driven Strategic Plan Facilitation process typically takes 60 to 90 days and includes:
• Utilization of previously gathered community feedback on community expectations, concerns,
and priorities,
• A three-day, in-person work session with agency stakeholders to integrate community feedback
into their mission, vision, and values, and
• A professionally formatted and published document encompassing strategic initiatives, goals,
objectives, critical tasks, and performance measures.
Expected outcomes include a strategic plan that will:
• Address the organization’s mission, vision, and values
• Be achievable, measurable, and responsive to changing community needs
• Be easily reviewed and modified to meet the changing internal and external needs of the agency
• Build upon community partnerships and enhance the ability to harmonize the goals of the agency
with the community’s identified needs
• Encourage and embrace involvement, participation, and teamwork
• Establish strategic initiatives
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a
day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him
for a lifetime.
64
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN STRATEGIC PLAN PROPOSAL

• Establish goals, objectives, performance measures, and an implementation strategy corresponding
to the strategic initiatives
• Focus on critical issues and needs of internal and external stakeholders
• Provide a basis for improving efficiency, effectiveness, and service deliverables
PROJECT FRAMEWORK

ESTIMATED FEES AND EXPENSES
CPSE has estimated the following fees and expenses for this project:
The proposed cost for CPSE to facilitate the development of the Bozeman Fire Department‘s Community-
Driven Strategic Plan is $19,800.00. Because there are savings that stem from CPSE facilitating the
Bozeman Fire Departments CRA/SOC, CPSE is glad to extend those savings of $3,516 for a total
proposed cost of $16,284.00.
This total proposed cost includes all technical advisor time and travel expenses to facilitate one
community stakeholder meeting (limited to no more than 75 people) and a three-day agency stakeholder
work session (limited to no more than 36 people). These events will be scheduled during the same week.
Any additional travel requested and approved by the Bozeman Fire Department will be billed by CPSE at
actual cost and is above and beyond the proposed cost above.

Q-mation Sales Manager Mike Thomas
Q-mation Services Manager Mike Wagner
Q-mation Proposal Author Mike Wagner/Shannon Asselin
Version History 1.0 – Initial Draft
1. Basis for Proposal
The City of Bozeman has requested that Q-mation upgrade their Water Treatment (WTP) galaxy.
An initiative driving the upgrade is the support lifecycle of the system as the older Wonderware
software has already matured into Extended Support. By upgrading Microsoft Windows and AVEVA
software, this will provide longer term mainstream support.
Recently Q-mation completed a deep dive analysis and galaxy review and information acquired
from that engagement will be utilized in completing this document.
Q-mation is proposing to provide full services to complete the galaxy upgrade project and will
dedicate an Application Consultant with expertise in System Platform design approach and
application real-time behavior.
2. Solution Summary
2.1 Installation, Upgrade, and Deployment of the Galaxy
Bozeman will provide new hardware and virtual machines to be used for the upgrade project. The
setup effort will be done in parallel with the existing system to minimize downtime and risk. Q-
mation will install the software components of AVEVA System Platform version 2023 across the
various nodes (see section 2.4 for details). After install, Q-mation will license the various servers
via AVEVA License Manager with AVEVA software licenses based on the desired architecture
shown in section 2.4.
83
Statement of Work
The information in the document is confidential and shall only be shared between recipient and Q-mation. Confidential
Upon installation, Q-mation will upgrade the existing galaxy to AVEVA System Platform version
2023. The galaxy includes one InTouch View applications which will be inherently upgraded and
will maintain their current resolution. Once the galaxy is upgraded and restored to the new Galaxy
Repository node, Q-mation will deploy the necessary App Engines, Objects, and View Engines to
the various nodes for testing and validation. The InTouch view applications will be distributed to
their corresponding client machines.
The upgrade effort also includes migrating and restoring the Runtime database to the upgraded
Historian node. Once the runtime database has been migrated the historian blocks will be moved
to the new server to preserve the data.
Lastly, Q-mation will convert the existing DAS I/O configurations to utilize the AVEVA OI Server
drivers.
2.2 Galaxy Modifications
When upgrading from older versions of System Platform the Galaxy needs to undergo some
rework. The base template libraries will either be disabled, removed, or ensured that they are not
interfering with the functionality of the AVEVA System Platform 2023 software. If there are any field
attributes in the galaxy those will be converted to attributes.
All platforms, engines and suitelink objects will be modified to look at the new computer names,
new OI device drivers and the new historian.
These changes are required to ensure a successful upgrade of the project.
2.3 Testing and Go Live Support
Q-mation will help during testing and Go Live of the upgraded system. Testing will be performed in
parallel with the existing system where possible. The goal of testing will be to verify
communication to the I/O devices and ensure end user experience has not been altered and is
working as expected. Q-mation will continue providing Go Live support to stabilize the system in
case of an unexpected issue occurring.
2.4 Solution Topology
The following diagram is a visualization of the WTP architecture proposed for this project. Note
that there will also be a development machine built along side to allow for development changes
within the integrated development environment (IDE).

section 2.4 of the proposal. This also includes configuring the AVEVA License Manager and
licensing the various AVEVA licenses across the new nodes.
3.2 Upgrade one system the WTP to version 2023.
3.3 Convert the View Application maintaining the original application resolution for both
applications.
3.4 Convert the DAS I/O configuration to utilize the AVEVA OI Server drivers.
3.5 Modify platforms, engines and suitelink objects will be to point at the new computer names,
new OI device drivers and the new historian that have been installed.
3.6 Rework the base template libraries so they are either disabled, removed, or ensured that
they are not interfering with the functionality of the AVEVA System Platform 2023 software.
3.7 Convert any field attributes in the galaxy to attributes.
3.8 Migrate and restore existing configurations from System Platform to the upgraded 2023
installation. This includes:

The information in the document is confidential and shall only be shared between recipient and Q-mation. Confidential
• Backup and restore Historian runtime database.
• Deploy the upgraded Galaxy to the GR node.
• Deploy the App Engines, Objects, and View Engines to the appropriate nodes.
3.9 Assist with migrating history blocks from old Historian to upgraded Historian. Q-mation will
start this effort and demonstrate the steps for Bozeman to complete the data migration as
the process can be lengthy depending on the amount of data needed to be migrated.
3.10 Create Disaster recovery documentation on how to back up system files, to be provided to
Bozeman.
3.11 Test and verify components of the upgraded SCADA system. This includes both Q-mation
internal testing, and final validation working alongside Bozeman.
3.12 Remote implementation and Go Live support of the upgraded system.

PLC’s and AVEVA software are on a network(s) with communication capabilities.
4.4 Bozeman is responsible for the physical installation of all hardware. This includes ensuring
space constraints are addressed for the new hardware.
4.5 Bozeman must provide Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition to be used for the Galaxy
Repository and Historian Server.
4.6 Bozeman is responsible for the transfer and licensing of any non-AVEVA software. Q-mation
will assist with tasks necessary to get the system functional but Bozeman will bear the
responsibility of maintaining third-party software, applications, and/or databases.
4.7 Q-mation will use the native AVEVA OI Server drivers for communication between the AVEVA
software and the I/O.
4.8 Bozeman will provide an up-to-date backup of their galaxy for Q-mation to work with during
the upgrade project. A code freeze will be in place during this time period.

REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Tom Rogers, Senior Planner
Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Interim Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:Resolution 5597, A Resolution of Intent to Consider an Amendment to the
Bozeman Community Plan 2020 to Adopt and Integrate the “Bozeman
Health Sub-Area Plan” as a Neighborhood Plan under the Bozeman
Community Plan 2020 Including Revisions to the Future Land Use Map;
Application 24118
MEETING DATE:July 9, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Legislative
RECOMMENDATION:Adopt Resolution 5597 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 revise the Bozeman Community Plan
2020 (BCP) including the Future Land Use Map to integrate the Bozeman
Health Sub-Area Plan as a neighborhood plan to the BCP 2020.
The area consists of approximately 500 acres including the hospital complex
area, the farmland to the east of Highland Boulevard, and the area known as
the Glen roughly bounded by Bozeman Trail to the east, Kagy Boulevard
toon the south, and Ellis Street to the north.
The original Bozeman Deaconess Health Services (now Bozeman Health)
Subarea Plan was adopted as a sub-area plan with the approval of
Resolution No. 3950 on August 28, 2006 [External Link]. The main hospital
campus west of Highland Boulevard continues to develop. The planning area
east of Highland Boulevard has not developed except for the active trail
system.
City of Bozeman revised and adopted its growth policy known as the
Bozeman Community Plan 2020 through Resolution 5133 on November 17,
2020. As a result, the Planning Board found the existing Bozeman Deaconess
plan did not entirely comport with the new BCP. Therefore, Planning Board
sent a letter to Bozeman Health suggesting they evaluate the plan and
update as needed. The letter is attached herein. Bozeman Health contracted
with Sanderson Steward to generally revise the plan.
117
As required by State Law, prior to the consideration of Growth Policy
Amendment, the governing body, the City Commission, must adopt a
Resolution of Intent. 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.
The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 [External PDF Link] 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 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 describes who can request an amendment and how to
evaluate the application.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
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.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:David Fine, Economic Development Manager
Brit Fontenot, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5624, Approving the Alteration and Modification of Contract with
Blanton Construction, LLC for the Aspen Street Pedestrian Bridge
MEETING DATE:July 9, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Resolution 5624 approving the alteration and modification of contract with
Blanton Construction, LLC for Aspen Street Pedestrian Bridge.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:This change order principally relates to changes to the bridge abutments
that were necessary when the City switched to a prefabricated bridge to
save on rapidly escalating costs. Cost savings related to this change were
reflected in a previous change order. Based on meetings neighbors on Aspen
St., the proposed sidewalk on the north side of Aspen St. was removed from
the scope. Without completely upgrading the street, the sidewalk would
have caused significant water ponding issues and impeded other usability
issues on the street. Improving the street to address all of these issues
would require reconstruction of the street itself, which is well beyond the
scope of this project. The change order also includes the addition of a
$25,000 contingency line item to be used only in the event of necessary
future changes to the scope.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Funding for the remainder of the $394,000.62 total project is included in City
Commission approved budget for the Northeast Urban Renewal District for
Fiscal Year 2025.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Sarah Rosenberg, Associate Planner
Brian Krueger, Development Review Manager
Erin George, Interim Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:Review of the Guthrie at 5th and Villard Site Plan, Commercial Certificate of
Appropriateness, and Demolition Application; Application 23354
MEETING DATE:July 9, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Community Development - Quasi-Judicial
RECOMMENDATION:Having reviewed and considered the application materials, public comment,
and all the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in
the staff report for application 23345 and move to approve the site plan,
commercial certificate of appropriateness, and demolition application with
conditions and subject to all applicable code provisions.
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 subject property is located at 321 N. 5th Avenue on the southwest
corner of the intersection of North 5th Avenue and West Villard Street. The
property is zoned R-5 (Residential Mixed-Use High-Density District). Directly
to the south is a two-story apartment building that is zoned R-5, to the east
is the Sapphire Motel that is zoned B-2M (Community Business District-
Mixed) to the north are single-household residences and to the east a
church, both of which are zoned R-3 (Residential Medium Density District).
The site is located within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District
(NCOD) and just outside the edge of the midtown Urban Renewal District.
There is an existing two-story building on the site that is categorized as
contributing to a potential historic district which marks it as a historic
structure.
The application proposes to demolish an existing building and construct an
apartment building that would have five floors with a total area of 64,511
square feet and include 111 residential units; 102 of which are one bedroom
and 9 of which are two-bedroom. The residential units are located on every
floor and range from 358 square feet to 597 square feet. The units are
proposed to be rented and not offered for sale. The ground floor features a
residential lobby, bicycle parking area, a game room, TV lounge, and an
150
outdoor courtyard. Laundry facilities are located on floors two and four, and
a lounge area on floors three and five. There are 37 parking spaces total
with 28 located on the property and nine parallel spaces located on the
street. Per 38.380.030 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), the developer
is applying deep incentives for affordable housing when a building provides
50% or more of the gross floor area as affordable housing. The project
proposes 56 housing units that are priced no greater than 80% of the Area
Median Income (AMI). AMI is the adopted standard for measuring
affordability and is regularly published by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). This will include 51 one-bedroom units and
5 two-bedroom units.
On April 16, 2024, the City Commission unanimously decided to reclaim the
application. Pursuant to 38.200.010.B.2, BMC, the City Commission “may, by
a simple majority vote of its members at a regularly scheduled meeting
reclaim to itself the final approval of a development application normally
subject to the approval of the community development director. The vote
must occur prior to the action of the community development director.” The
reclaim process does not change any review criteria or development
standard. Under City Commission authority, the final review and approval of
the project will occur at a City Commission meeting. Public comment is taken
by the City Commission for all action items per Commission rules and
procedures.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:There are no unresolved issues with this application.
ALTERNATIVES:1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions and code
provisions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended
conditions and/or code provisions;
3. Deny the application based on the commission’s findings of non-
compliance with the applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Continue the public meeting on the application, with specific direction
to staff or the applicant to supply additional information or to address
specific items.
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 SUMMARY
The subject property is located at 321 N. 5th Avenue on the southwest corner of the intersection of North 5th Avenue and West
Villard Street. The property is zoned R-5 (Residential Mixed-Use High-Density District). Directly to the south is a two-story
apartment building that is zoned R-5, to the east is the Sapphire Motel that is zoned B-2M (Community Business District-
Mixed) to the north are single-household residences and to the east a church, both of which are zoned R-3 (Residential
Medium Density District). The site is located within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) and just outside
the edge of the midtown Urban Renewal District.
The application proposes to demolish an existing building and construct an apartment building that would have five floors with
a total area of 64,511 square feet and include 111 residential units; 102 of which are one bedroom and 9 of which are two-
bedroom. The residential units are located on every floor and range from 358 square feet to 597 square feet. The units are
proposed to be rented and not offered for sale. The ground floor features a residential lobby, bicycle parking area, a game
room, TV lounge, and an outdoor courtyard. Laundry facilities are located on floors two and four, and a lounge area on floors
three and five. There are 37 parking spaces total with 28 located on the property and nine parallel spaces located on the
street.
Per 38.380.030 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), the developer is applying deep incentives for affordable housing
when a building provides 50% or more of the gross floor area as affordable housing. The section states “Applications for
development of affordable homes that comply with the requirements of this division qualify for and must be awarded the
incentives applicable to the type and tenancy of affordable housing being provided and requested by the developer.”
The project proposes 56 housing units that are priced no greater than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). AMI is the
adopted standard for measuring affordability and is regularly published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). This will include 51 one-bedroom units and 5 two-bedroom units. All units will be offered for rent. The
project utilizes five of the deep incentives:
1. 3.b – Allow for two additional stories of height, maximum 15 feet per story, beyond what is allowed in the R-5
zone district.
2. 3.d – No minimum on-site vehicle parking but bicycle parking still applies.
3. 3.f (2) – Exemption from Section 38.510.030.E to J block frontage standards, provided that vehicle parking is
prohibited between the front or side or a principal building and street.
4. 3.f (5) – Exempt from 38.530.050 building detail standards.
5. 3.5 (6) – Exempt from 38.530.060 building material standards.
The existing building is a two-story structure that was built in 1958 as a convalescent center. It remained a care center until
2022 and now is vacant. It is not located in a historic district. Although it is not eligible to be individually listed under the
National Register of Historic Places, it is categorized as contributing to a potential historic district which marks it as historic
structure, defined by 38.700 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. It retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic character with
the Postwar Expansion Phase of Bozeman’s development. This area was surveyed in 2020 as part of a larger survey effort of
the B-2M zone district and directly surrounding areas. The surrounding area is composed of similar post war and mid-century
development between North 7th and the adjacent residential neighborhood, known as the Karp and Violet Additions
Subdivision.
The application was submitted on November 27, 2023. The city reviewed this submittal and requested additional information
and corrections from the applicant based on code provisions and adopted standards. This cycle of submittal and review
resulted in a total of three revised application submittals by the applicant. During this adequacy review period, open space
requirements, number of parking spaces, responses to overlay district standards, water, wastewater, utilities, and

transportation reports, and other submittal documents and drawings were revised by the applicant. The project was
determined to be adequate on March 13, 2024.
The initial public notice period took place from March 13 – April 8, 2024. Public comments that were received and that
are not in favor of the project focus on affordable housing costs, unit size, traffic, parking, pedestrian safety, demolition
of the existing structure, NCOD standards, mass and scale, and requesting the City Commission to reclaim the project.
Public comment received in support focuses on infill and the increase in housing and housing diversity. Here is a link
to the public comment folder for application 23354.
On April 16, 2024, the City Commission unanimously decided to reclaim the application. The link to the video can be
found here and the meeting minutes can be found here. Pursuant to 38.200.010.B.2, BMC, the City Commission “may,
by a simple majority vote of its members at a regularly scheduled meeting reclaim to itself the final approval of a
development application normally subject to the approval of the community development director. The vote must occur
prior to the action of the community development director.” The reclaim process does not change any review criteria or
development standard. Under City Commission authority, the final review and approval of the project will occur at a
City Commission meeting. Public comment is taken by the City Commission for all action items per Commission rules
and procedures.
Based on initial staff analysis and the public comment received, City staff requested additional information and
clarification. The applicant resubmitted application materials on April 24, 2024, and included the following changes
from the original submission:
1. Replaced nine one-bedroom units with nine two-bedroom units;
2. Added more amenity space to achieve open space requirements from adding two-bedroom units;
3. Updated affordable housing unit locations to include five two-bedroom units;
4. Reduced bicycle parking spaces from 97 spaces to 24 spaces;
5. Added mechanical screening to blend in with the building;
6. Moved all trash and recycling to the interior;
7. Updated the narrative to reflect changes;
8. Included an addendum to the Historic Property Record form;
9. Added traffic calming measures to include a traffic circle at 5th and Villard; and
10. Provided an additional renovation vs. new build comparison.
A full list of the revision summary can be found here.
The additional information and clarifications submitted by the developer warranted additional public comment
opportunity. The city reviewed this submittal and granted the project adequacy on March 13, 2024. The public
comment period was re-opened and all public comment received between March 15 and July 9, 2024 will be
considered by the City Commission during its review of the application. Public comment was received when the
comment period was re-opened. Most comment received was in opposition of the project and echoed concerns
mentioned above. For a break down of the public comment, see section 9 below.
The City Commission is scheduled to review the application on July 9, 2024, in the City Commission Room at City Hall,
121 N. Rouse Avenue. A link to the application documents and drawings can be found here.

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.
Plan Review, Section 38.230.100, BMC
In considering applications for plan approval under this title, the Director of Community Development shall consider the
following:
1. Conformance with Article 1 – Consistency with the City’s adopted Growth Policy 38.100.040.D Meets Code?
Growth Policy
Land Use
Residential Mixed Use Yes
Zoning R-5 Residential Mixed-Use High Density District Yes
Comments: The Bozeman Community Plan 2020, page 73, discussing how zoning is made in accordance with a growth policy
includes this statement: “The City must balance many issues in approving urban development. Therefore, it is not unusual if
there is some tension between competing priorities, even if there is no explicit contradiction of policy.” The adopted regulations in
Chapter 38 are the result of the Commission considering and balancing a wide range of issues and provides an overall
compliance basis of evaluation. This balancing means that individual goals or objectives are not maximized to the exclusion of
other priorities and evaluation occurs against the whole of the growth policy. Applications consistent with the adopted regulations
are in accordance with the overall growth policy.”
The Bozeman Community Plan 2020 encourages the City to look inward by prioritizing infill. This application supports the
following goals, with staff analysis in italics:
- Goal R-2.4: Social Equity: Provide solutions that are inclusive with consideration to populations that are most fragile and
vulnerable to sudden impacts. This project proposes an affordable housing component in an infill development site with
smaller apartment sizes that may be more suitable for individuals. This project proposes to offer roughly half of the
apartments for rent at affordable prices (no greater than 80% of area median income). The smaller apartment sizes may
be more suitable for individuals who are unable to afford market rate rental units.
- Goal R-2.8: Harmonize with Existing Activity: Expand, enhance, or leverage work being done to build on existing efforts.
This project helps support the reactivation of the Midtown/North 7th Corridor, into which the City has invested
considerable resources. See additional information below about the historic and on-going efforts to revitalize this area of
the City.
- Goal N-1.1. Promote housing diversity, including missing middle housing. This project proposes a multi-family apartment
building containing 56 affordable housing units and 55 market rate housing units. There are some smaller scale
apartment buildings nearby, along with commercial and single-dwelling residential existing development. This larger
scale apartment building will provide diversity in the housing types available in this neighborhood.
- Goal N-1.3: Revise the zoning map to lessen areas exclusively zoned for single-type housing. This property was zoned
R-5 in 2015 by Ordinance 1942 to provide higher density buildings near the B-2M zone district to support the Bozeman
Midtown Urban Renewal District. The R-5 zone provides for a variety of housing types and massing. As noted above, this
project proposes a larger scale apartment building, which is allowed in the R-5 zone and provides an alternative housing
type to those currently present in this area.
- Goal N-1.11: Enable a gradual and predictable increase in density in developed areas over time. The North
Seventh/Midtown Urban Renewal District was created in 2006 under ordinance number 1862 to remedy conditions of
blight found in the area through redevelopment. In 2015, the Midtown district was zoned B-2M and the subject property
was zoned R-5. Since the creation of this urban renewal district, there has been a significant amount of redevelopment
along North 7th and within the B-2M zone district including commercial and mixed-use buildings that range from 2-4
stories tall with more active uses on the ground floor and residential uses above. Construction will continue to vary as
development occurs and where early phases of multi-story buildings takes place, eventually projects of mid-rise or five
story buildings will emerge (pg. 13, Midtown Plan). The zoning of the site from R-3 to R-5 provided a public process and
opportunity for awareness of expected intensification of development on the site.

- Goal N-1.12: Encourage major employers to provide employee housing within walking/biking distance of place of
employment. These units could support workers at various midtown and downtown businesses, including nearby
restaurants, retail and service establishments, schools, and local government.
- Goal N-2.2: Revise the zoning map to support higher intensity residential districts near schools, services, and
transportation. This project does not revise the zoning map, but as stated above, the subject property was previously
rezoned to R-5 to encourage higher density development near the North 7th corridor and midtown area. The project is
within walking distance of commercial corridors and amenities, including North 7th and downtown which provide ample
services. The property is located within 1000 feet of two Streamline Bus lines and less than 800 feet from a school.
- Goal N-3.7: Support compact neighborhoods, small lot sizes, and small floor plans, especially through mechanisms such
as density bonuses. The project proposes units with relatively small floor plans that range from 357 to 597 square feet
with 102 one-bedroom units and 9 two bedroom units. This project uses deep incentives for affordable housing to acquire
density bonuses to allow for a taller building. It creates a higher density project within an infill area in the heart of the city.
- Goal N-3.3: Encourage distribution of affordable housing units throughout the City with priority given to locations near
commercial, recreational, and transit assets. The project proposes affordable housing in a location adjacent to the B-2M
zone district, that is within one-half a mile of three parks and within 1,000 feet of two Streamline bus lines.
- Goal N-4.1: Continue to recognize and honor the unique history, neighborhoods, and neighborhood character, and
buildings that contribute to Bozeman’s sense of place through programs and policy led by both City and community
efforts. The subject property is located within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. It is on the edge of the
Midtown Urban Renewal District which is an area designed for commercial, mixed use, and multi-family housing of a
higher intensity. However, adjacent to the north and east is a lower residential neighborhood that has associations with
the Postwar phase of Bozeman’s development. This area was surveyed in 2019-2020 with a report detailing that the
Violett Addition and Karp Addition subdivisions located along North 4th, 5th, and 6th Avenue has potential to be a National
Register Historic District meaning that the structures within the neighborhood have intact structures that reflect the
Postwar phase of Bozeman’s development. The building that is proposed to be demolished is considered a contributing
structure to this potential historic district, although more research and study would be necessary to determine actual
significance. So even though the property is located next to the Midtown Urban Renewal District which is expected to
become a higher intensity, mixed use area, the demolition of this structure could have negative impacts to the residential
neighborhood’s history and sense of place that depicts a Postwar development. Nevertheless, because the property is
located within a transition zone and the underlying zone district, it is in a period of transition that will support a higher
intensity area.
- Goal DCD-1.1: Evaluate alternatives for more intensive development in proximity to high visibility corners, services, and
parks. As stated above, the subject property is within close proximity of services and parks.
- Goal DCD-1.5: Identify underutilized sites, vacant, and undeveloped sites for possible development or redevelopment,
including evaluating possible development incentives. The project uses affordable housing incentives to increase density
on an underused infill site with a functionally obsolete building adjacent to the B-2M zone district.
- DCD-2.2: Support higher density development along main corridors and at high visibility street corners to accommodate
population growth and support businesses. The subject property is one block from North 7th which is a main corridor that
supports higher density development.
- DCD-2.7: Encourage the location of higher density housing and public transit routes in proximity to one another. As
stated above, the subject property is within 1,000 feet of two Streamline bus lines and the development proposes to
provide greater housing density than that which currently exists on the site. As noted above, the site was rezoned years
ago to support addition development, including apartment development.
- DCD-2.9: Evaluate increasing the number of stories allowed in centers of employment and activity while also directing
height transitions down to adjacent neighborhoods. The City Commission adopted an affordable housing ordinance
number 2105 in October 2022. This ordinance offers a menu of deep incentives to incentivize the creation of affordable
housing. One of the deep incentives offered is increasing the number of stories on a structure. The R-5 zone district
allows structures to be 50-60 feet high depending on roof pitch, while utilizing the affordable housing deep incentives
allows a structure to reach up to 80 feet. The project proposes to use approximately 11.5 feet of additional incentive
height. The use of this incentive is practical granted its location and its proximity to Midtown and downtown centers of
activity and employment. Pursuant to the code, no height transition between the R-5 zone district and the R-3 zone
169

June 27, 2024
Page 19 of 33
district to the north and east is required. A street and code-required building setbacks in both the R-5 and R-3 zone
districts provide a height transition buffer.
- DCD-3.1: Expand multimodal accessibility between districts and throughout the City as a means of promoting personal
and environmental health, as well as reducing automobile dependency. This infill site is very walkable as it is in proximity
to a variety of amenities and close to two bus stops with active routes.
- DCD-4.4: Differentiate between development and redevelopment. Allow relaxations of code provisions for developed
parcels to allow redevelopment to the full potential of their zoning district. The property is zoned R-5 which is a residential
mixed-use high-density district to provide for high density residential development. This property was zoned to encourage
higher density redevelopment due to its proximity to a commercial corridor. The project does not request any relaxations
of code.
- M-1.12: Eliminate parking minimum requirements in commercial districts and affordable housing areas and reduce
parking minimums elsewhere. Per the affordable housing ordinance, parking is reduced through incentives for affordable
housing projects.
The subject property is categorized as Residential Mixed-Use on the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Policy. This category
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. Secondary supporting uses, such as retail, office, and
civic uses, are permitted on the ground floor. All uses should complement existing and planned residential uses. Non-residential
uses are expected to be pedestrian oriented and emphasize the human scale with modulation in larger structures. Stand alone,
large, non-residential uses are discouraged. Non-residential spaces should provide an interesting pedestrian experience with
quality urban design for buildings, sites, and open spaces. This category is appropriate near commercial centers. Larger areas
should be well served by multimodal transportation routes. Multi-unit, higher density, urban development is expected. Any
development within this category should have a well-integrated transportation and open space network that encourages
pedestrian activity and provides ready-access within and adjacent development.
As noted above in the analysis to the various goals articulated in the Bozeman Community Plan 2020, this application conforms to
its designation in a Residential Mixed-Use area on the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Policy. It proposes a multi-unit, high
density apartment building with a mix of affordable housing units and market rate units. It utilizes affordable housing incentives to
add approximately 11.5 feet in height to the building and proposes a building mass that is bigger than many of the surrounding
structures, providing variation among the buildings in the area that contributes to a complete and interesting streetscape. It is
expected that Midtown will continue to develop with high density residential uses and urban development. It is an infill project that
is well-integrated into existing infrastructure, including multimodal transportation options because it is supported by nearby
Streamline bus service and is within walking distance of many commercial services and social amenities, including a school,
church, and the fairgrounds. The project has access to nearby open spaces, such as Westlake Park, Beall Park, and Centennial
Park.
The subject property is zoned R-5, Residential Mixed-Use High-Density District which is an implementing district for the
Residential Mixed-Use future land use designation. Per 38.300.100,
“The intent of the R-5 residential mixed-use high-density district is to provide for high-density residential development
through a variety of compatible housing types and residentially supportive commercial uses in a geographically compact,
walkable area to serve the varying needs of the community's residents. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Providing for a mixture of housing types, including single and multi-household dwellings to serve the varying needs of
the community's residents.
2. Allowing offices and small-scale retail and restaurants as secondary uses provided special standards are met.
Use of this zone is appropriate for areas adjacent to mixed-use districts and/or served by transit to accommodate a
higher density of residents near jobs and services.”

The apartment use is allowed in the R-5 zone district. The proposed project supports the R-5 residential mixed-use high-
density district because it is a high-density residential development located in a walkable area adjacent to a variety of services
and jobs within in the Midtown Urban Renewal District. The project is consistent with a long line of City Commission decisions
regarding the development of the area and the growth policy. The Midtown Urban Renewal District was created in 2006 under
ordinance number 1862 as the North Seventh Urban Renewal District to remedy the conditions of blight found in the area
through redevelopment. In 2015, it was expanded under ordinance number 1925 for purposes of furthering its efforts to
revitalize the commercial area and surrounding neighborhoods and named the Midtown Urban Renewal District. Shortly
thereafter, the B-2M zone district and R-5 zone district were created by Ordinance 1942 to provide higher density buildings
built near the street, encourage ground floor commercial uses, and reduce parking minimums. The Bozeman Midtown Urban
Renewal District Plan was adopted in 2017 with a deliberate emphasis on focused redevelopment through methods such as
increased building density, the construction of urban and dense housing projects, improved multimodal transportation, and
promoted a pedestrian oriented environment. As noted above, the growth policy supports infill and redevelopment consistent
with adopted standards.
Since the creation of this urban renewal district, there has been a significant amount of redevelopment along North 7th and
within the B-2M zone district including commercial and mixed-use buildings that range from 2-4 stories tall with more active
uses on the ground floor and residential uses above. This is also consistent with the adopted future land use designations and
growth policy goals and objectives. “Construction will continue to vary as development occurs and where early phases of
multi-story buildings is currently taking place, eventually projects of mid-rise or five story buildings will emerge” (pg. 13,
Midtown Plan). In the B-2M zone district, buildings designed for non-residential or mixed use can build up to five stories or 60
feet, whichever is less, provided the top floor of the building has a step back of 30 feet. For buildings designed for solely
residential use, the allowed height is four stories or 50 feet, whichever is less. The R-5 district allows for a building height of
50-60 feet depending on roof pitch. The adjacency of this property to commercial services and various employers
accommodates more dense residential dwelling units in a geographically compact, mixed-use area that is in accordance with
the R-5 zone district and Urban Renewal Plan. It also contributes to the mixture of housing types available in this area
because it provides larger scale multi-family housing in addition to the already existing smaller scale apartment buildings and
single detached dwellings.

transitions only apply for R-5 districts that are adjacent to the RS, R-1, or R-2 zone district. For buildings located at the edge of
a zoning district and thatuse the affordable housing height incentives, there must be a required setback from the property line
and a 45-degree angle step back on the top floor. However, this is only applicable when the property directly abuts a lower
density residential zone district and there is not a street that acts as the buffer. Zone edge transitions do not apply when there
is an alley or street. Here, Villard and 5th streets separate this site from other nearby zoning districts.
Applicable zone specific or overlay standards 38.330-40 Yes
Comments: The property is located within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD). See section 11 below for
full analysis.

Affordable Housing 38.380.010 Yes
Affordable housing plan Yes, with code
provision
Comments: For complete analysis regarding the Affordable Housing Administrator’s determination of compliance with all
affordable housing code provisions, see the attached affordable housing report.
The project proposes 56 housing units that are priced for rent at no greater than 80% of the Area Median Income. 51 units are
one-bedroom units and 5 are two-bedroom units. The affordable units are distributed throughout the building. Every unit on the
second and third floor meets affordability requirements. There are 24 units on each floor with 2 being two-bedroom units. The
fourth floor has 5 affordable units with 1 being a two-bedroom. The fifth floor has 3 one-bedroom affordable units. The units
range from 361 square feet to 597 square feet. There are 55 market rate units, 4 which are two-bedroom units. The market
rate units range from 357 square feet to 597 square feet..
The affordable housing units cannot be rented as short-term rentals meaning they cannot be rented for less than 28 days at a
time per Ordinance 2149.
Per 38.380.030, the developer may apply incentives to a building that provides 50% or more of the gross floor area as
affordable housing. The section states “Applications for development of affordable homes that comply with the requirements
of this division qualify for and must be awarded the incentives applicable to the type and tenancy of affordable housing
being provided and requested by the developer. The project applies five incentives:
1. 3.b – Allow for two additional stories of height, maximum 15 feet per story, beyond what is allowed in the R-5 zone
district: The height allowed is 80 feet, the project proposes one additional story, bringing the height up from 50’ to 61’-
1.5”.
2. 3.d – No minimum on-site vehicle parking but bicycle parking still applies: The project proposes 37 parking spaces
which is more than what is required and 24 bicycle parking spaces which meets the standards for amount required.
3. 3.f (2) – Exemption from Section 38.510.030.E to J block frontage standards, provided that vehicle parking is
prohibited between the front or side or a principal building and street: Parking is provided on a parking lot along North
5th. When a building faces two streets, the parking lot can front onto one street when the primary frontage is identified
which is this case is Villard.
4. 3.f (5) – Exempt from 38.530.050 building detail standards.
5. 3.5 (6) – Exempt from 38.530.060 building material standards.
The Affordable Housing Administrator, has approved the Affordable Housing Plan for the project and finds that the plan
includes all information for the City to confirm compliance with the standards and criteria in BMC 38.380, including the
standards in 38.380.030.B: Incentives available. Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant must record a Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants, acceptable to the City Attorney, that implements the affordable housing plan and record the affordable
housing plan with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder.

BMC 38.400.060.4 states “Intersections must have a minimum acceptable LOS of "C" for the intersection as a whole.” The only
location where the overall intersection LOS does not meet the requirements of this section of the BMC is the intersection of N
7th Avenue and Peach Street. However, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDOT) is currently in design for
improvements to the North 7th Avenue and Peach Street/Durston Road intersection to address the LOS deficiency. The
project is scheduled for construction in 2025. Based on MDOT’s imminent plans to address it, the North 7th Avenue and Peach
Street/Durston Road intersection was excluded from the TIS per BMC 38.400.060.B.4 subsection 2. The TIS demonstrated
that every other intersection as a whole would remain at better than LOS “C,” and therefore the requirements of the BMC is
met.
Of note, the TIS stated that drivers on certain local streets, including West Villard and West Beal, could expect slightly
increased delays where those local streets intersect with North 7th Avenue. Although these specific approaches to the
intersections were determined to operate at a LOS “D,” the intersections as a whole maintain their LOS “C” rating. Again,
these intersections therefore meet the requirement of the BMC which is that the intersection as a whole operate at LOS C or
better.
Although the current code does not require an evaluation of traffic local streets, except where they intersect with collector
streets, the City has proposed changes to the BMC that would require data regarding local street traffic volumes and require
traffic calming infrastructure in instances where traffic volumes on local streets exceeds 1,000 trips per day. Given that
contemplated change to the code and in response to many concerns about the traffic volume on local streets raised in public
comment, the Engineering Division requested that the applicant provide additional data on traffic generation on the local
streets. The amended TIS anticipated 1,080 trips per day on Villard Street between N7th Ave and N 5th Ave after development
of this project. Based on the data provided regarding the impact of the development to local streets and the public comment
concerning traffic congestion, the Engineering Division requested the applicant include traffic calming measures to mitigate the
impact of increased traffic at the intersection of West 5th Avenue and Villard Street, which is included as condition of approval
3. To satisfy the condition of approval, the applicant proposes to install a traffic circle at North 5th Avenue and West Villard
Street. The Engineering Division reviewed the traffic calming proposal and found it acceptable to mitigate the anticipated
impacts of the development, with the condition that the final characteristics of the traffic calming measures must include
specific consideration for emergency vehicle and school bus travel. These characteristics must be considered and finalized
through the infrastructure design and review process.
Sidewalks 38.400.080 Yes

Comments: The subject property is an infill site so existing infrastructure services the site. There is adequate capacity to
service the proposed development. Additional right of way is needed to allow placement of the new sidewalk in the correct
location and provide space for required street trees along North 5th Avenue consistent with the proposed site plan. An
easement to grant an additional four feet to extend the platted right of way is required to make way for the boulevard design
along the building frontage on North 5th Avenue. The public street easement granting this right-of-way is required to be
approved prior to final site plan approval.
A Site, Water, Sewer, and Storm Water Engineering Report was prepared by Stahly Engineering. Site improvements include new
water and sewer services, storm drainage mitigation, franchise utilities, and an overhead power reroute. The project will have an
on-site subsurface retention system beneath the parking lot that captures and retains site and building stormwater runoff. The
Engineering Division found the report to meet Design Standards.
The estimated annual municipal water demand from the project is 14.04 acre-feet (AF). Reducing this demand by accounting for
the historic average annual demand from the existing facility of 1.71AF, the development will have a net increase of 12.33 AF on
the City's water supply. At the City's current CILWR fee rate of $6,000/AF the CILWR fee for the project is $73,999. The fee must
be paid prior to final site plan approval. The City encourages and supports water conservation through a rebate program for high
efficiency fixtures. The rebate value is approximately 20% of the fee for the residential units, released at occupancy, if high-
efficiency fixtures (toilets, washers, and shower heads) are installed due to reduced water use. A rebate agreement template
outlining the terms of the rebate offer has been provided to the applicant team. If the owner is interested in pursuing the rebate,
please complete the track changes with the owner information and send the word document to Griffin Nielsen at
gnielsen@bozeman.net. If there are any questions about the agreement, please reach out over email. The agreement must be
finalized prior to final site plan approval.

comments received between March 15, 2024, and July 7, 2024. At the time of writing this report, 171 comments have been
received. Public comment will be taken until the City Commission closes the public comment at the City Commission meeting.
The comments are summarized by topic with staff response below:
- Affordable housing and use of deep incentives: Comments received centered around the fact that the application
does not qualify for the deep incentives as it does not meet AMI and that the units do not qualify as a one-bedroom unit.
The City Commission adopted Ordinance 2105 on October 22, 2022 to repeal and replace Division 38.380 Affordable
Housing and assign responsibility for review of Affordable Housing Plans to the Affordable Housing Administrator. The
changes to the code include adding incentives to advance the city’s interest in assuring that additional affordable housing
is built in the city (Legislative Findings number 9, page 3). These incentives are offered to property owners and
developers willing to construct housing at levels of affordability consistent with the housing needs and goals identified in
the Bozeman Community Plan 2020, the Community Needs Assessment (2019), and Community Housing Action Plan
(2020). Per 38.380.030.B, if the developer meets the standards from table 38.380.020-1 in the same geographically
contiguous development as market rate homes, the developer may apply for deep incentives in which 50 percent or more
179
Staff Report

Page 29 of 33
of the gross floor area contains residential uses. For multi-household dwellings, the price of rental dwellings must not
exceed 80% of AMI with a restrictive covenant to maintain their affordable housing status for 30 years. Section
38.380.030 states “Applications for development of affordable homes that comply with the requirements of this division
qualify for and must be awarded the incentives applicable to the type and tenancy of affordable housing being
provided and requested by the developer.” Please see section 5 above as well as the attached Affordable Housing
Administrator’s determination for analysis and information regarding how the proposed Affordable Housing Plan meets
the requirements of Division 38.380, BMC.
- Short term rentals: Comments were received that the units will be used as short term rentals. The affordable housing
units cannot be rented as short-term rentals meaning they cannot be rented for less than 28 days at a time per Ordinance
2149. The market rate units, which are not designated as affordable housing units can be rented in accordance with short
term rental regulations in 38.360.260, BMC, just as any other dwelling unit in the City. Notably, recent amendments to the
City’s short term rental codes require a host to live in the rented dwelling unit as their primary residence, or in the same
building as the rented dwelling unit in the case of a Type 2B short term rental.
- Size of units: Comments centered around the size of the units proposed are too small and the amenities within the units,
like a very small kitchen with a hot plate isn’t enough to constitute a livable space. There are 111 units proposed, 102
units are one-bedroom, nine are two-bedroom. The BMC does not contain a definition of the term “bedroom” nor does it
prescribe a minimum size of a dwelling unit or bedroom. The Growth Policy supports a variety of housing types and
sizes. Building codes also have minimum area requirements for dwellings and all units meet those standards.
- Lack of parking: Comments received centered around that the amount of parking provided is not adequate for so many
units. Pursuant to the affordable housing ordinance adopted by the City Commission setting forth the various incentives
available in exchange for the development of affordable housing, no minimum on-site parking is required as outlined in
38.380.030.B. The location of this infill project, with its walkable access to downtown and midtown district amenities, as
well as its proximity to public transit make it possible for residents to utilize transportation alternatives to cars, potentially
decreasing the need for parking. As discussed in section 1, the Growth Policy also supports decreasing parking
requirements.
- Traffic concerns: Comments received centered around that the intensification of the use will bring more traffic to the
area that the streets cannot support. The traffic impact study (TIS) received was viewed by the City’s Transportation
Engineer and found to meet standards. In response to the City’s anticipated code amendments regarding traffic
congestion on local streets, data supplied by the amended TIS that 1,080 daily trips on local streets are anticipated, as
well as public comment concerning traffic, the City requires traffic calming infrastructure as a condition of approval. The
applicant proposes to incorporate a traffic circle as a traffic calming measure at 5th and Villard. The Engineering Division
has found this to be satisfactory and will require additional design information with infrastructure review to ensure it meets
standards.
- Pedestrian circulation and safety: Comments received reflected concern that, due to the subject property’s location
near Whittier Elementary School, it poses safety issues for children and people walking to go to school since there will be
increased traffic. The project conforms to site design standards related to pedestrian circulation. The site is connected to
existing pedestrian infrastructure and the existing sidewalks will be improved to meet width standards and engineering
standards. See comments above and in section 6.a. of this report regarding analysis of the traffic anticipated on local
streets and condition of approval 3.
- City Commission reclaim: Comments received centered around requesting the City Commission to reclaim the
application to be reviewed by them rather than the Director of Community Development. Per 38.200.010.B.2, the City
Commission may by simple majority vote of its members at a regularly scheduled meeting reclaim to itself the final
approval of a development application normally subject to the approval of the community development director. The vote
must occur prior to the action of the community development director. The City Commission reclaimed the application at
its meeting on April 16, 2024, and will review the application at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 9, 2024.
- Design Review Board: Comments centered around that this project should be reviewed by the Design Review Board.
The Design Review Board no longer functions per Senate Bill 407 adopted by the 2023 state legislature, which states
that review for compliance with design standards must be done by municipal staff and not an external board . The bill is

- Mass and scale: Comments argued that the building’s mass and scale is not appropriate for the neighborhood as it
would be the tallest building in the area and that the height bonus for affordable housing is not appropriate. The project is
in conformance to the site plan criteria and standards. It is setback 15 feet from the property line and proposes
landscaping and pedestrian open space to buffer between the building, sidewalk, and street. The design meets standards
that are outlined in Article 3, Form and Intensity standards, for the R-5 district, and 38.380 Affordable Housing, and
Article 5, Project Design of the code. The project is in conformance with the Bozeman Design Guidelines for Historic
Preservation and the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District that provide design direction and guidelines for the
building and site. Although the affordable housing deep incentives additional building height of up to 80 feet, the project
proposes to increase the height of the building to 61.5 feet
- Demolition of a historic structure and economic analysis: Comments centered around that there needed to be two
structural and cost build analysis submitted with the application and that the demolition of the structure is not appropriate
since it is considered a historic structure in a neighborhood that could be a historic district. The applicant provided two
cost build analyses that meet the criteria for demolition of a historic structure. See section 11 below for complete analysis
regarding CCOA criteria and historic preservation issues.
- Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District and Certificate of Appropriateness standards: Comments argued
that the development does not fit within the neighborhood and destroys the character of the residential neighborhood that
is adjacent to it. The project is in conformance to the NCOD and COA standards. The project site is not within a historic
district and “when applying the standards of subsections A through C of this section, the review authority shall be guided
by the design guidelines for the neighborhood conservation overlay district which are hereby incorporated by this
reference. Application of the design guidelines may vary by property as explained in the introduction to the design
guidelines. When reviewing a contemporary, non-period, or innovative design of new structures or addition to existing
structure, the review authority shall be guided by the design guidelines for the neighborhood conservation overlay district
to determine whether the proposal is compatible with any existing or surrounding structures.”
Staff finds that the proposed design meets standards. See section 11 below for full analysis.
- Project is supported by 2020 Community Plan. Comments provided in support centered around that the project
supports the Growth Policy and that more diverse housing and density is needed especially in an area that is close to
many services and downtown. Staff finds that the project meets the 2020 Community Plan and site plan criteria as
outlined in this staff report.

10. Division of Land Pertaining to Subdivisions (38.240-Part 4) Meets Code?
Subdivision exemptions Code provision
Required easements Code provision
Comments: A separate subdivision exemption application to merge the existing lots into a single lot is required to be approved
and recorded prior to final site plan approval.
11. Standards for Certificate of Appropriateness (38.340) Meets Code?
Certificate of appropriateness standards Yes
NCOD Design Guidelines Yes
Secretary of Interior Standards NA
Comments: The proposed project is located within the NCOD but is not within a historic district. The NCOD’s intent is to
support preservation but also accommodate growth and development in a way that supports both zone district standards and
neighborhood character. The NCOD boundary is one block to the west of this project along North 7th Avenue. The NCOD was
created in 1991 to recognize the historic core of the Bozeman community that makes up most of Bozeman’s designated
historic districts and many individual National Register landmarks. This boundary was chosen based on the 1954 census of
Bozeman city limits in which a comprehensive architectural inventory of more than 3,000 properties were surveyed. Any
structure or site that is within this area is subject to review under Section 38.340 of the Unified Development Code and the
Bozeman Guidelines for Historic Preservation and the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. The guidelines were
created to provide guidance on how to apply design review to different properties. Those that have National Register historic

significance or are located within a National Historic District have stricter guidelines, while more general guidelines apply to
buildings within the overlay but are not within a historic district. A property that isn’t individually listed or is outside of a
Nationally Registered Historic District is subject to more general guidelines. There are limited guidelines within the Secretary of
Interior Standards that speak to new construction and because the property is not located within a historic district nor is the
structure on the National Register, the standards do not apply.
The purpose of the NCOD Design Guidelines is to apply design guidelines to all properties within the NCOD as it relates to
rehabilitation for historic properties, guidelines for residential character areas, commercial character areas, and district specific
guidelines. Beside the addition of Chapter 4-B, Guidelines for the B-3 Commercial Character Area, which are not applicable to
this project, these guidelines have not been updated since 2006. Within the Guidelines, there is very little guidance on how to
manage higher density and mixed-use development outside of the Main Street/B-3 area. The prevailing guidance regarding
the design of the building and compatibility to the surrounding neighborhood, comes from Article 5 of the UDC and zone
district form and intensity standards. Because this project is an affordable housing development, it is exempt from maximum
façade width standards, roofline modulation standards, building detail standards and building material standards that are
outlined in 38.530. Furthermore, Section 38.340 which also outlines standards of the NCOD and historic preservation have had
very few changes over time and provide little guidance regarding how new construction should relate to the existing
neighborhoods.
The chapters within the NCOD Design Guidelines were used when reviewing this project:
Chapter 2, Design Guidelines for All Properties:
A. Topography: Site work should be planned to protect the assets of the existing topography. The project maintains the
existing topography of the site.
B. Street Patterns: Site a new building such that it is arranged on its site in a way similar to the historic buildings in the
area. The building is setback 15’ from the property line like adjacent and nearby properties in the R-5 district.
C. Streetscape: Maintain the traditional character of the streetscape. Currently, there is an attached sidewalk with no
street trees. The project proposes to construct a detached sidewalk with a landscape buffer that is traditional to the
area.
D. Landscape Design: Preserve and maintain trees and significant vegetation. All vegetation and trees will be removed
but replaced with landscaping along the building and site perimeter. It appears that the landscaping that exists does
not have any additional significance to the site. Replacement vegetation meets standards outlined in the UDC.
E. Building Form: A similarity of building forms should be used as those seen traditionally. Simple rectangular solids are
appropriate as are flat roofs in commercial and transitions areas. The building is rectangular with a flat roof which is
appropriate considering its location on the edge of the Midtown Urban Renewal District which is a commercial area.
F. Solid-to-Void Ratio: Use a ratio of solid-to-void (wall-to-window) that is similar to the area. The ground floor along the
North elevation that faces Villard incorporates glass and transparency that is similar to buildings within Midtown. The
rest of the building incorporates smaller windows for each unit that are similar to the size of windows in the residential
neighborhood.
G. Materials: Use building materials similar to those in the area. The building uses materials to complement with the
neighboring properties including wood that is depicted in the residential neighborhood and fiber cement which is
commonly used along North 7th.
H. Architectural Character: New construction should distinguish itself from historic structures. The building reflects that of
new construction as it uses contemporary materials and an architectural style that doesn’t convey a false sense of
historic period.
I. Parking & Buffers: Minimize the visual impact of surface parking. Much of the parking lot is set behind the building and
where it does front onto 5th Avenue has a landscape buffer, which minimizes the visual impact of the surface parking.
J. Lighting: Lighting shall be shielded to prevent any off-site glare and standards should follow the UDC. The lighting
proposed meets the standards outlined in the UDC.
K. Utility and Service Areas: Service areas should be screened and away from major streets. Service areas are either
located internally or screened appropriately if located outside.

Staff finds that Chapter 2 of the NCOD Design Guidelines are being met with the project proposal.
Chapter 3, Design Guidelines for Residential Character Areas. The only section within the Chapter 3 Guidelines that applies is
multi-household design.
A. Minimize the perceived scale of a multi-household building. Methods can include step down of height toward the
street and breaking up the perceived mass of the structure by dividing it into modules. The structure should not
overwhelm the existing single household structures in terms of height. This property is located on the edge of the
Midtown Urban Renewal District (B-2M) to the west and a medium density residential district to the north and east.
While it does fit into the context of the R-5 zone district and Midtown, its size and scale is larger than existing single
household structures. The R-3 zone district contains low-density houses that range from single family to duplex/triplex
and many of these structures don’t exceed two stories. The existing building is much larger in width and area than
nearby residential buildings. The building is broken up by details and materials and is setback further from the street
that help minimize the perceived scale of the building. The project propses being 61.5’ when it allows for 80’ per the
affordable housing deep incentives.
While the existing structure reflects more of the existing residential neighborhood Postwar phase of Bozeman’s development,
the rezoning of the property to R-5 in 2016 was to support the Midtown Urban Renewal District which was created with a
deliberate emphasis on focused redevelopment through methods such as increased building density, the construction of urban
and dense housing projects, improved multimodal transportation, and promoted pedestrian environment. The design of this
building reflects a higher intensity use that is compatible with the character of North 7th Corridor and the Midtown Urban
Renewal District.
Review of demolition of historic structures or sites 38.340.080 Yes
Historic Structure per 38.700.090 Yes
Comments: The existing building is a two-story structure that was built in 1958 as a convalescent center. It remained a care
center until 2022 and now is vacant. The proposed project is considered a historic structure since it is considered a contributing
building to a potential historic district as outlined in the definitions provided in article 7 of the UDC.
A historic structure is defined as any building or structure that is:
1. Listed in the State or National Register of Historic Places;
2. Designated as a historic property under local or state designation law or survey;
3. Certified as a contributing resource within a National Register listed or locally designated historic district; or
4. Eligible, as determined by the City of Bozeman, to be listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places either
individually or as a contributing building to an existing or potential historic district.
The existing structure was surveyed in 2019-2020 as part of a larger effort done by the City to survey the B-2M zone district
and the immediate surrounding area. This survey was conducted by Metcalf Archeological Consultants (Metcalf). The property
lacks individual significance to be on the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A, B, C, and D of the Secretary of
Interior Standards. However, while not located within an existing historic district, it is considered eligible/contributing to a
potential historic district associated with the Postwar Expansion Phase and central Bozeman.
As part of the survey effort, Metcalf provided preliminary recommendations regarding district potential within the survey area.
Those areas in which there is notable concentration of associated properties retaining sufficient integrity to convey historic
character have greater district potential and those that have a clearly defined period of significance or architectural cohesion
should be prioritized for further work. It was found that the Violett Addition and Karp Addition could be a candidate for district
potential as the small, cohesive neighborhood has associations with the Postwar phase of Bozeman’s development. Although
more of the Violett Addition was surveyed in this effort, it is believed that the Karp Addition is linked thematically and therefore
could share district potential. The subject property is in the Karp Addition. Therefore, the property is considered a historic
structure as defined by the UDC. Since the property is considered historic, the review authority must consider criteria outlined
below from Section 38.340.090 when evaluating demolition applications.

38.340.090 Criteria for demolition of a historic structure Yes
1. The property’s historic significance. Yes
2. Whether the structure has no viable economic life remaining. Yes
3. Whether the subsequent development complies with Section 38.340.050 (standards for
certificates of appropriateness).
Yes
4. Whether the subsequent development includes construction of new building(s) unless the
existing character of the area does not include buildings.
Yes
5. Subsequent development requires a building permit and does not include proposals which leave
the site without building(s) or structure(s).
Yes
Notwithstanding the above, for projects proposing the removal of a historic structure, which do not
qualify for sketch plan review pursuant to 38.230.070, the review authority may determine the proposed
subsequent site development is more appropriate for the site based upon the criteria in 38.230.100
(plan review criteria).
Yes
Comments: The structure is considered a historic structure since it is contributing to a potential historic district. No demolition of
the structures is permitted until the site plan and building permit for the subsequent development is approved.
Per 38.220.090, certificate of appropriateness review criteria, if demolition of a historic structure as defined in article 7 is
proposed, a structural analysis and cost estimates by more than one general contractor for the work is required. The applicant
provided two comparison studies that break down the cost of renovation of the existing building to construction a new building
of the same type and scale. It was determined that the structure did not meet the necessary criteria for conversion into living
units and that it lacks qualities that present additional safety and environmental challenges. To use the existing building would
result in 42 units compared to the proposed 111 units in the current design. It is also argued that the existing building’s
construction cannot support modern infrastructure in an effective and costly manner. In conclusion, the studies showed that the
cost for building a new structure of similar type and scale costs less than a full renovation of the structure to be brought up to
code and be converted fully into living units.
Per 38.340.090.C, “for projects proposing the removal of a historic structure, which do not qualify for sketch plan review
pursuant to section 38.230.070, the review authority may determine the proposed subsequent site development is more
appropriate for the site based on the criteria in section 38.230.100.” Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the
subsequent development is more appropriate for the site as it redevelops an otherwise vacant infill site, and conforms with the
2020 Community Plan, Site Plan Criteria, and Certificate of Appropriateness criteria.
