Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Sarah Rosenberg, Historic Preservation Officer/Planner
Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Interim Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:Bozeman Landmark Project, application 22388, Work Session on Initial
Guidance Report
MEETING DATE:October 21, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Receive presentation, discussion, and feedback to staff and consultant.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.2 Community Engagement: Broaden and deepen engagement of the
community in city government, innovating methods for inviting input from
the community and stakeholders.
BACKGROUND:The Historic Preservation Program began in the early 1980's when a
comprehensive historic architecture survey of the "historic portion" of the
city was conducted. Surveying over 3,000 properties provided the
foundation to nominate ten National Historic Districts in subsequent years,
adopt historic preservation regulations, and create the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) in 1991. Since then, the current
regulations in Section 38.340 of the Bozeman Municipal Code have been
applied to new development and alterations within the historic districts or
the NCOD via the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process. Reports
evaluating the NCOD were prepared in both 2015 and 2019 that note the
successes of the NCOD and the Historic Preservation program as a whole,
but also recommend changes.
The Bozeman Landmark Program project will do the following: Evaluate
Section 38.340 of the Unified Development Code - where all things historic
preservation and standards for the NCOD reside; Assess the review criteria
and standards for certificate of appropriateness applications; Reevaluate the
NCOD - determine the effectiveness of the district and its boundary and how
it relates to the historic preservation program as a whole since this project is
looking at the entire city and not just the NCOD; Create a Landmark Program
and nomination process which can identify places of importance that may
not be recognized as significant at the National level and can establish its
own locally-specific standards and regulations.
The project is divided into two phases. The first phase focuses on research
10
and community engagement that will result in policy recommendations. The
second phase will put the recommendations into action (subject to City
Commission authorization) by drafting and preparing necessary code
amendments. As part of phase one, an initial guidance report has been
prepared, detailing ideas for further discussion regarding policy and
programs.
The Historic Preservation Advisory Board conducted a work session [external
video link] on Wednesday, October 16. The Community Development Board
will discuss some of the same subjects during this work session. Additionally,
the City Commission will review the report during a work session planned for
this fall. A more detailed report with final recommendations will be available
in early 2025, for board consideration and eventual Commission adoption.
Future implementation of program revisions may involve amendments to
Chapter 38, Unified Development Code. The Community Development Board
has a formal role in amendments to Chapter 38 so we provide this
opportunity for early participation by the Board.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None identified at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:NA
FISCAL EFFECTS:Funds for the project are included in the FY25 budget.

Project Summary
The City of Bozeman Historic Preservation Program began in the early 1980's when a comprehensive
historic architecture survey of the "historic portion" of the city was conducted. This foundation led to
the creation of ten National Historic Districts, historic preservation regulations, and the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District (NCOD). Since then, the current preservation regulations in Section
38.340 of the Bozeman Municipal Code have been applied to new development and alterations within
the historic districts or the NCOD via the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process. The City also
must take into account state legislation that impacts planning and development.
The Bozeman Historic Preservation Policy & Local Landmark Program project (“Landmark
Program”) centers on revising the existing preservation policy. This project will:
Evaluate Section 38.340 of the Unified Development Code regarding the NCOD;
Assess the review criteria and standards for COA applications;
Reevaluate the NCOD; and
Create a local landmark program and nomination process.
The City of Bozeman engaged Community Planning Collaborative (CPC) in Fall 2023 to assist with
the Landmark Program project. CPC, led by Adrienne Burke and Ennis Davis, is an urban planning and
historic preservation consulting practice that facilitates community-led, history-based planning
solutions. CPC is a facilitator for this process, sharing information around available policy options, while
Bozeman citizens and the community are the experts in identifying Bozeman’s needs and goals. The
CPC team includes Sarah Marsom, independent heritage consultant, and Jacqueline Drayer of Mulberry
History Advisors. Sarah Rosenberg, the City’s Historic Preservation Officer, is the project manager.

Project Summary
More detailed information on the project is available at:
engage.bozeman.net/landmark
The CPC team visited in November 2023 and February 2024 to conduct research and meet with
community and representatives from different City departments. A third trip in July 2024 focused on
community engagement. Research and data analysis has been occurring since last fall.
The Landmark Program project is split into two phases. The first phase has focused on research, data
collection, and community engagement which leads to policy recommendations that will be reviewed by
the Historic Preservation Advisory Board, the Community Development Board, and the City
Commission. This document consists of the initial policy and program recommendations for community
and City review. A more detailed report will be available in early 2025. The second phase will put the
recommendations into action and develop the policy and amend code as needed. This phase is
intended to happen in spring and summer 2025.
This project builds on the successes of the City of Bozeman’s existing preservation efforts.
The NCOD has been in existence for over thirty years and is well-established. Annual preservation
month activities in May celebrate historic resources and the City’s heritage. Historic Preservation
Advisory Board (HPAB) members are engaged and HPAB work plans focus Board efforts. Recent
inventory updates for historic structures and research on homes associated with the African American
community add to the base of information about Bozeman’s history. Digital tools offered by the City
include access to historic Sanborn maps through the City’s GIS mapping system. These are just a
sampling of positive preservation efforts already occurring in Bozeman.

Learning what makes Bozeman unique is at the core of the Bozeman Landmark Program.
Since the Bozeman Landmark Program kicked off in November 2023, the project team has worked
alongside City of Bozeman staff to implement passive and active engagement strategies to
understand what the community’s priorities are for a local landmark program.
In November 2023, the consulting team first visited the City of Bozeman. The project started with an
overview of the Gallatin Valley and Bozeman’s Indigenous history and living culture from Dr. Shane
Doyle. The trip included conversations with city staff from various departments and local community
organizations. Additional conversations were had virtually between November 2023-September
2024. The project has been introduced and discussed with the Historic Preservation Advisory Board,
Community Development Board, Sustainability Board, Inter Neighborhood Council, and the City
Commission.
Youth activity sheets were created and offered at the Gallatin History Museum beginning in May
2024, as well as at the Historic Preservation Advisory Board’s annual Preservation Month activities.
Sarah Rosenberg coordinated with a Montana State University geography class in Spring 2024 to
develop student recommendations for heritage markers and tours.

Community Engagement
Utilizing different event formats including open houses/pop-
ups, round tables, and tabling at community events, active
engagement strategies sought to reach a range of community
members. In July 2024, the community showed up to parks, a
fire station, the farmers market, the library, City Hall, and MSU to
participate in different Bozeman Landmark Program touchpoint
events. The project team wanted to engage a broad range of
Bozeman citizens from youth to seniors, different
demographics, and different parts of the city. People shared
stories about their family, specific buildings, environmental
features, community events, and more from the city’s history.
The July engagement activities concluded with a storytelling
signage event hosted at the Bozeman Library. Sarah
Rosenberg and other City staff attended additional events after
the consulting team concluded their efforts to further promote
the project and survey.
Simultaneous to community engagement events, the Bozeman
Landmark Program launched an Engage Bozeman page, a
digital survey, which was promoted through social media posts
on the City’s social media accounts, through fliers installed at
key places throughout the city, and direct contact by email.
Temporary historic markers were installed across the city that
told micro-stories of Bozeman’s heritage and shared survey
information. Micro-surveys were completed by attendees at
outreach events. Fliers, handouts, and the online survey were all
translated into Spanish using Montana Language Services.

16
Community Engagement
All promotional materials and in person activities encouraged participation in the online survey. The
online survey was completed by 292 individuals. Community members were able to identify specific
areas of Bozeman’s history (physical or intangible), which they perceive as a preservation priority, in
addition to expressing their personal needs as residents and their larger views of preservation
needs in the city. Their responses guided the policy research based on the expressed priorities of
the community members.
Calendars reflect people’s values and people used their time and energy to share their connections
to Bozeman’s cultural heritage - physical, intangible, and ephemera, through survey participation,
event attendance, one-on-one conversations, facilitated conversations, and visiting the Bozeman
Landmark Program booth at events.

Policy Conversations
These are initial policy suggestions for conversation based on community engagement efforts and
program research. The final deliverable for Phase I will offer further explanation and examples for each
recommendation. Additionally, the final Phase I report may offer other suggestions as the project
continues along over the next several months. The recommendations below are in no particular order.
Continue evaluation of the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) boundaries
based on community feedback, implementation opportunities, current UDC update efforts, and
past NCOD policy recommendations in 2015 and 2019 reports commissioned by the City.
Repeal and replace the Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation & the NCOD to provide more
clarity for new development in particular in coordination with the Unified Development Code
(UDC). As part of this update, revisit the requirements for Certificates of Appropriateness (COA);
consider revising to Certificate of Approval. Incorporate considerations of sustainability and
climate resilience.
Consider possible incentives for reusing older and historic buildings.
Update the demolition policy and criteria in Chapter 38.340
to address concerns that it is not functioning well. Consider
a demolition policy for structures over fifty years old and
outside the NCOD. Consider requiring mitigation when
demolition is approved, such as laser or photo
documentation.
Evaluate adding provisions in the code and Guidelines for
economic hardship and the use of alternative building
materials.
Consider how new development projects are integrated
with the surrounding neighborhood, maintaining a consistent
scale range. Look at developing Guidelines that allow for the
increased density permitted by code, but are more
consistent with existing development patterns.
6
18
Policy Conversations
Provide architectural and landscape transition between zoning and/or historic districts via “zone
edge transitions,” coordinate with UDC updates that are currently underway.
Explore a requirement for submitting an inventory form for any development project involving a
building over a certain age, not just for demolition projects.
Create a city-wide local landmark program that includes both architectural and cultural
significance. This would allow for designation of individual historic or cultural landmarks inside
and outside the NCOD, including buildings, environmental spaces and natural features, and sites
of cultural importance.
Modify City Code section 2.05.860 and 2.05.930 to expand the responsibilities of the Historic
Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) to include cultural heritage and evaluation of landmark
nominations.
7
Additional policy options to explore in the
future that are beyond the scope of the
current project:
Consider adopting tree regulations.
Consider the feasibility of incentives or
regulations related to reuse of building
materials; coordinate efforts with the
Sustainability Division related to the
“deconstruction handbook” referenced
in the Climate Action Plan.
Explore the implementation of a legacy
business ordinance, which would
provide incentives to long-time local
businesses.
19
Create a historic preservation master plan or include a historic preservation element in future
updates to the Growth Policy.
Implement a local historic marker program to highlight important cultural sites.
Conduct additional surveys in specific areas, particularly for mid-century resources and agricultural
heritage. Also, survey parts of the NCOD that have not yet been documented, along with areas
adjacent to the NCOD.
Coordinate with the county on surveying areas adjacent to Bozeman city limits.
Develop context studies that could support future landmark designations, such as studies on Native
American heritage and culture, Bozeman’s mid-century architecture, and agricultural history.
Create a preservation priority list based on areas identified by the community during the engagement
survey to bring awareness to important places.
Collaborate with partners on a more coordinated strategy to share Bozeman’s heritage through
interpretive opportunities across the city.
Program Conversations
These are initial program recommendations based on community engagement efforts and program
research. The final deliverable for Phase I will offer further explanation and examples for each
recommendation. Additionally, the final Phase I report may offer other suggestions as the project
continues along over the next several months. The recommendations below are in no particular order.
Many of the projects below require funding, which should be part of the conversations moving forward.
None of the following are included in the current project scope, but could be future opportunities.
Work with partners on a strategy to help keep residents in
existing housing that is historic or eligible for historic
designation, such as home repair programs.
Expand historic preservation education and outreach
efforts beyond Historic Preservation Month.
Foster the development of a preservation consortium of
existing historic preservation and history-related
organizations that meets on a regular basis.
8
20
Program Conversations
Discussion on this preliminary report will occur in Fall 2024 with the Historic Preservation Advisory
Board, the Community Development Board, and the City Commission. Through Engage Bozeman
and the meetings, there is an opportunity for the public to provide input for final report development
The final report for Phase I is expected to be released in early 2025.
8
Next Steps
Create a resilience and disaster planning preservation strategy. This could be phased starting
with a vulnerability assessment for historic and cultural resources and evolve to identify specific
adaptation or mitigation strategies.
Explore ways to restore and optimize usage of existing historic City facilities - Story Mansion,
Beall Park, and the Lindley Center.
Explore additional financial incentives that could be utilized to support historic preservation -
tax-increment financing, grant programs, etc.
Determine if COA application fees can be directly applied to the preservation program.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Waldo
SUBJECT:Recommendation to City Commission Regarding Fire/EMS Impact Fees
Annual Capital Improvement Program for FY 26-30
MEETING DATE:October 21, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:I move to recommend approval of the Fire/EMS impact fee capital
improvement program as presented.
STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable
sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean
and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:One of the responsibilities of the Community Development Board is to act as
the impact fee advisory committee. One duty of the advisory committee is to
review and recommend updates to the annual capital improvement program
for impact fees. The City implements a Fire/Emergency Medical Services
impact fee. The Fire/EMS fee pays for capital expansion of the system to
provide increased service to new development. Examples are acquisition of
property, construction of fire stations, and purchase of qualifying durable
equipment. The impact fee is guided by the City's fire service master plan
and impact fee cost of service study. Staff prepares a recommended annual
update to respond to changing conditions.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the board
FISCAL EFFECTS:None, the CIP does not commit money to expenditure. It is a planning and
coordination tool. Only adoption of the annual City budget can authorize
expenditure of public money.

REPORT TO:Community Development Board
FROM:Shawn Kohtz, Utilities Director
Lance Lehigh, Engineer III
SUBJECT:2024 Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update Introductory
Overview
MEETING DATE:October 21, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Receive Information in preparation for public hearing on November 4th,
2024. No action needed at this time.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The Wastewater Facility Plan Update (WWFPU) is a comprehensive master
plan of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. The plan includes
characterization of wastewater flows, evaluation of collection system
performance, identification of system deficiencies, and development of a
comprehensive capital improvement plan to address near-term and long-
term system needs.
The intent of the WWFPU is to meet the City’s strategic plan by fostering a
well-planned City, prioritizing capital improvements for existing and new
infrastructure, and ultimately helps guide sewer utility funds to the right
project at the right time.
Moreover, the City’s unified development code incorporates the wastewater
facility plan by reference and requires that any wastewater system
expansions be completed in conformance with the wastewater facility plan
recommendations.
The draft Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan Update can be found at
this link: City of Bozeman Website link.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the Community Development Board.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The Wastewater Facility Plan does not authorize appropriation and therefore
has no direct fiscal effect. However, the plan guides efficient infrastructure
28
investment and serves to inform capital improvement plan decisions
associated with sanitary sewer infrastructure. The plan also guides
infrastructure configuration by new development.
