Good Morning – Please see the attached for review & consideration starting with the Community Development Board. Thank you, Tyler Tyler Steinway, AICP | Senior Planner Intrinsik Architecture, Inc. 106 East Babcock Street Suite 1A Bozeman, Montana 59715 O. 406.582.8988 Direct: 406.426.9568 M. 406.220.8210 20 October 2025 Community Development Board Via Email: Csaunders@bozeman.net RE: Unified Development Code 9/19 Draft Subject: Request for Amendments: Zone Map Amendment Please accept this memo as a request to amend the proposed Zoning Map. We represent the property owners and are requesting to designate the property (three parcels / 1.12 AC / former church campus) from R-B (Residential Medium-Low) to B-1 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use). The properties included in this request are designated as Urban Neighborhood in the Future Land Use Plan which includes B-1 as an implementing zone category. Below are images showing the Future Land Use Map, current/proposed zoning and requested zoning. Attached is also Exhibit B with additional supporting information outlining alignment with the community plan should it be needed at this time. If any additional information is needed, please let us know. In conclusion, we would like to formally request to amend the proposed zoning map from R-B to B-1 to further several goals and policies outlined in the Community Plan. The B-1 zoning district is best suited given the former site use/pattern, location and access to higher classiflcation roads and the unique growing commercial/residential area along South 19th Avenue. Thank you for your consideration of this simple request. Robert J Pertzborn, AIA Intrinsik Architecture Attachements EXHIBIT A – Supplemental Information Subject Property The subject properties are located at the intersections of South 19th Avenue, West Koch Street and South 20th Avenue. The Subject Property consists of 3 parcels and are legally described as (See Maps Below): Parcel 1 - KIRK SUB, S11, T02 S, R05 E, BLOCK 2, Lot 7 - 8, ACRES 0.537, PLUS 15' X 135' STRIP, PT OF VACANT KOCH STREET ADJ TO LOT 8, PLAT F-1 Parcel 2 - KIRK SUB, S11, T02 S, R05 E, BLOCK 2, Lot 9, PLUS 15' X 135' STRIP, PT OF VACANT KOCH STREET ADJ TO LOT 9, PLAT F-1 Parcel 3 – KIRK SUB, S11, T02 S, R05 E, BLOCK 2, Lot 10, PLAT F-1 Alignment with the Community Plan Goals and Objectives: The Community Plan Future Lnd Use Map designates this area as Urban Neighborhood which authorizes B-1 as an implementing zoning district. This application show how the proposed ZMA aligns with the effective Community Plan. The area to be rezoned includes extenstive frontage along a Principal Arterial (South 19th Avenue) and two local streets (South 20th Avenue & West Koch Street). The land use pattern that can be create on such ideally served parcels would be able to support a wide range of uses. These include restaurants, retail, offices, mixed-use development, and residential units, all within existing Bozeman service boundaries and would be developed in close proximity to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an automobile. This mix of development at densities appropriate for a growing urban area is therefore grounded on the tenets of the Community Plan. Moreover, the B-1 zoning proposed through this application fosters fiexibility to address both current market trends and long-term land use goals for the subject property. The Community Plan includes several goals and objectives that are broadly served through this application, including: - Goal R-2.3 Make good financial investments that have the potential for economic benefit to the investor and the broader community both through direct and indirect returns. - N-2: Pursue simultaneous emergence of commercial nodes and residential development through diverse mechanisms in appropriate locations. - The intent of the B-1 zoning designation is to function as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substantial growth and enhances the character of the city. This district provides for a range of commercial uses that serve both the immediate area and the broader trade area and encourages the integration of multi-household residential as a secondary use. - Goal N-3: Promote a diverse supply of quality housing units. - DCD-1.2 Remove regulatory barriers to infill. - DCD-1.7 Coordinate infrastructure construction, maintenance, and upgrades to support infill development, reduce costs, and minimize disruption to the public. The infrastructure in the area is mostly built out and able to service any proposed project. The B-1 district also allows for a wide range of business uses with residential as a secondary use. This supports the opportunity for diversity of supply. The quality of housing will be assessed and assured during subsequent development reviews for compliance with both the UDC and the adopted buildings codes. Furthermore, the surrounding area shows the diverse nature of building products in the area. - Goal DCD-2.2: Support higher density development along main corridors and at high visibility street corners to accommodate population growth and support businesses. - DCD-2.5 Identify and zone appropriate locations for neighborhood-scale commercial development. - DCD-2.7 Encourage the location of higher density housing and public transit route in proximity to one another. The project site is located on a Principal Arterial (South 19th Avenue) and two local streets (South 20th Avenue & West Koch Street. This project location is the ideal location for a neighborhood-scaled commercial development and higher intensity residential development. - M-1.1 Prioritize mixed-use land use patterns. Encourage and enable the development of housing, jobs, and services in close proximity to one another. The B-1 designation will allow for the future creation of business spaces in close proximity to a large number of residential units. - M-1.4 Develop safe, connected, and complementary transportation networks for pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of other personal mobility devices (e-bikes, electric scooters, powered wheelchairs, etc.).
