BACKGROUND:The City must operate within the legal framework established by the State of Montana. The state has created specific laws (enabling authority) for how cities do land development planning and regulations. For many decades, the City has operated under three distinct portions of enabling authority: Title 76, Chapter 1 – Planning Boards and land use planning, e.g. growth policy Title 76, Chapter 2, Part 3 – Municipal Zoning Title 76, Chapter 3 – Subdivision and Platting Act In 2023, the State Legislature adopted a new enabling authority, Title 76, Chapter 25, the Montana Land Use and Planning Act (Senate Bill 382). The new law includes a transition process where applicable communities, including Bozeman, stop following the prior processes and instead are fully under the new enabling authority. Paragraph 76-25-105(4) says “(4) A local government that complies with this chapter is not subject to any provision of Title 76, chapters 1, 2, 3, or 8.” Section 76-25-105 sets a time frame for each community to transition to the new law. For Bozeman, that date is May 17, 2026. The City is currently working on the needed components to complete the transition by the required time. The City is currently working on revising the existing preservation program as part of the Landmark Project, application 22388. Included in the scope of this project is to review Division 6 - Historic Preservation Advisory Board of the Bozeman Municipal Code. Several questions were raised during the October 17th HPAB meeting regarding duties of the Board and how the recent state legislation relates to those duties. The City Attorney will be 6 present at the November 20th HPAB meeting to speak to these topics. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None identified at this time. ALTERNATIVES:NA FISCAL EFFECTS:NA Report compiled on: November 13, 2024 7 Memorandum REPORT TO:Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board FROM:Sarah Rosenberg, Historic Preservation Officer/Planner Erin George, Interim Director of Community Development SUBJECT:Update on Bozeman Landmark Project, application 22388. MEETING DATE:November 20, 2024 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission RECOMMENDATION:NA STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver information to the community and our partners. 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 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 8 ideas for further discussion regarding policy and programs. HPAB discussed these items at their October meeting. The Community Development Board also discussed the report at their October meeting. The City Commission will review the guidance report on November 19. HPAB will receive an update from staff on those meetings and there will be time for additional discussion. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None at this time. ALTERNATIVES:NA FISCAL EFFECTS:Funds for the project are included in the FY25 budget. Report compiled on: November 13, 2024 9
