Water Adequacy - The development will need to satisfy the water adequacy code requirement prior to future site plan approval. A cash-in-lieu of water rights (CILWR) fee determination will be completed during the site plan review process, however, if there are any questions or if a preliminary review is desired please contact Griffin Nielsen with the Engineering/Utility Department directly. Email: gnielsen@bozeman.net Phone: 406 582-2279. The City is able to offer a rebate for approximately 20% of the fee for the residential units/condos, released at occupancy, if high-efficiency fixtures (toilets, washers, and shower heads) are installed. A rebate agreement template outlining the terms of the rebate offer has been uploaded. If the owner is interested please update the agreement using 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 should be finalized prior to final site plan approval.

For rooftop equipment, all screening devices must be well integrated into the architectural design through such elements as parapet walls, false roofs, roof wells, clerestories, or equipment rooms. Screening walls or unit-mounted screening is allowed but less desirable. Wood must not be used for screens or enclosures. Louvered designs are acceptable if consistent with building design style. Perforated metal is not permitted. For ground related service areas and mechanical equipment, service areas (loading docks, trash dumpsters, compactors, recycling areas, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment areas) must be located for convenient service access while avoiding negative visual, auditory, olfactory, or physical impacts on the streetscape environment and adjacent residentially zoned properties. Service areas must be sited for alley access if available. Utility meters must be located and/or designed to minimize their visibility to the public. Project designers are strongly encouraged to coordinate with applicable service providers early in the design process to determine the best approach in meeting these standards. If such elements are mounted in a location visible from the street, pedestrian pathway, shared open space, or shared auto courtyards, they must be screened with vegetation and/or integrated into the building's architecture.

For restaurant uses, staff encourages the applicant to consider providing floor plans if beneficial that show serving areas used for the purposes of parking and excluded areas such as walkways, storage, restrooms, behind the bar, staff only areas, etc. It is up to the applicant to provide a complete parking calculation that clearly shows how net floor area was determined. The applicant may not combine the 85% calculation and the manual removal of areas, but may choose either one for the overall parking calculations.
