It is still a bit of a mystery to me, whether there will actually be places for cars to park inNorth Central, or if there were just SID payments that were made by businesses to pay for general parking improvements. Mike and I did not discuss where Block A, Block 3 and Block4 are located, and what parts of these blocks are being used for parking, and when. I would be interested to know this. Maybe Danielle can chime in next week after she is back. Thank youfor your patience with me as I try to understand the situation. I sincerely hope that in the end the actual parking needs associated with the North Central (andthe Boutique Hotel) will be adequately accommodated.

The Hotel Bozeman public notice period was extended to May 19 so you still have 10 days to provide public comment for that project.

More details are included in the wholeemail string.What is an SID parking space? For the North Central development, where are these565 spaces located?It would be good to know these things so that I can make a more informed commentconcerning the Hotel Bozeman.project.

The two project parcels are being reviewed under the master site plan (21029) that was approved in 2021. Per the approved parking plan, this project is proposing to utilize SID 565 spaces which were previously purchased for the parcels. The applicant is not proposing to construct any parking with this application. I hope that answers your question. As the planner reviewing this project, please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

I'll wait for answers to the questions about the North Central parking plan from another. Note: This year it seems that most of the cars along this stretch are from the immediate neighbors. I mentioned this in another (rambling) letter to the Commision and yourself: "On Affordable Housing and Parking. I live across the street from one home that has been rented the last few months by inhabitants that have at least 5 cars associated. The house next to it has been rented for several years and has at least 3 cars associated. They are packed (with nice people). This is what makes these houses “affordable.” But they all have cars." Last year it was mostly construction workers. They were usually friendly, and it was common to see five guys piling out of one vehicle. It was nice that they were carpooling! I do wonder what the future holds in store, as the construction continues, and at its completion. I will be happy to have the plans explained. Thank you all for your service!

I’ll have to humbly admit that the development code regarding parking requirements is not under the purviewof my office, and I can’t clearly answer your request for definition of “SID parking stalls”.I’ve cc’d our project Planner Susana Montana in hopes she can assist. Once a project is approved, my office would review and approve any right of way permitsand I can tell you that we’re aware of some of the neighborhood impacts from current andprevious North Central projects. Taylor Lonsdale will be reviewing any upcoming permits with these parking concerns in mind, and we hope to arrange a more reasonable approach toconstruction parking. Long-term street parking management may require a permit system similar to what we havearound the high school and University area if “spill over” parking from these developmentsis shown to impact the neighborhood. That’s a process that is typical citizen-initiatedthrough a parking benefit zone and managed by our Parking Division. I can appreciate that these issues can often be complicated, so please do not hesitate toreach back out to me with questions and concerns as you have them. Susana, please let us know if you can assist with the SID parking explanation. -Nick Nicholas Ross, P.E.

Hi Nicholas, I attended the City Commission meeting last night (April 22, 2025) andthank you for your presentation and service! I had sent the comments below andquestions concerning parking in the areas around the proposed Hotel Bozeman. I amhoping that you will be made aware of this, and thought that the best way to ensurethat is to send it to you directly. Hopefully you or someone might be able to help meunderstand what the plan is for parking in this area.

I have found the items copied below in the Application 23185. Can I get an explanation of the meaning of SID parking stalls, and the location of these previously purchased SID stalls for the Hotel Bozeman? It sounds like the parking spaces will be in transition until the final completion of the North Central project, but I may not be understanding the situation. I would love to have this explained. I am quite concerned that parking in front of my home on 427 N Tracy Ave. will be more convenient for employees and customers using the Hotel Bozeman facility than the parking that is planned for this project. Thank you for educating me.
