Project Name: Boutique Hotel Application: 24147
Summary: This Site Plan application proposes a six story hotel with amenities on a vacant parcel that currently serves as a parking lot. The ground floor includes a hotel lobby, commercial space, and back of house operations. Each subsequent floor includes hotel rooms and a rooftop bar is proposed on the sixth level. Site improvements include sidewalk, streetscape, landscaping, and additional site amenities. The project is located directly adjacent to Bozeman Creek which requires a 35 setback along both sides of the creek per 38.410.100. While the proposed building is located outside of the watercourse setback, the applicant is requesting to allow for up to a 30 foot encroachment into the watercourse setback for open space hardscaping and patio space, a four-foot awning, and supporting utility infrastructure. Per 38.200.010.A, the City Commission is the review authority where a deviation is more than 20 percent of the standard. A deviation can be requested for properties within the NCOD due to most of historic Bozeman preceeding zoning regulations and to encourage activity that would contribute to the overall historic character of the community. The criteria for granting deviations from the underlying zoning requirements are outlined in 38.340.070.
