CODE PROVISIONS
1. In addition to the review criteria of section 38.230.100, the review authority must, in
approving a special use permit, determine favorably that applications meet the review
criteria set forth in subsections 38.230.120.C
2. Section 38.230.120.D BMC states that the right to a use and occupancy permit is
contingent upon the fulfillment of all general and special conditions imposed by the
special use permit procedure. All of the conditions constitute restrictions running with
the land use, apply and must be adhered to by the owner of the land, successors or
assigns, are binding upon the owner of the land, their successors or assigns, must be
consented to in writing, and must be recorded as such with the county clerk and
recorder's office by the property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits,
final plan approval or commencement of the special use and shall be recorded as such
with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder’s Office by the property owner prior to
the final plan approval or commencement of the use.
3. Section 38.230.120.G BMC describes the process for termination/revocation of a
special use permit approval:
a. Special use permits are approved based on an analysis of current local
circumstances and regulatory requirements. Over time these things may
change and the use may no longer be appropriate to a location. A special use
permit will be considered as terminated and of no further effect if:
i. After having been commenced, the approved use is not actively
conducted on the site for a period of two continuous calendar years;
ii. Final zoning approval to reuse the property for another principal or
special use is granted;
iii. The use or development of the site is not begun within the time limits
of the final site plan approval in 38.230.140
b. A special use which has terminated may be reestablished on a site by either,
the review and approval of a new special use permit application, or a
determination by the community development director that the local
circumstances and regulatory requirements are essentially the same as at the
time of the original approval. A denial of renewal by the review authority may
not be appealed. If the review authority determines that the special use permit
may be renewed on a site then any conditions of approval of the original
special use permit are also renewed.
c. If activity begins for which a special use permit has been given final approval,
all activities must comply with any conditions of approval or code
requirements. Should there be a failure to maintain compliance the city may
revoke the approval through the procedures outlined in section 38.200.160.
As the applicant, you must comply with all provisions of the Bozeman Municipal Code, which are
applicable to this project. All unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically
listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the
lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or state law.

transportation, water, sewer and fire impact fees according to the City of Bozeman adopted
impact fee schedule in place at the time of building permit issuance. If you desire an estimate of
the required impact fees according to current rates please contact the Department of
Community Development.
Please be informed that ANY changes from the final plan or final building elevations will need
