This will create a new legal description. Addresses would be assigned to the units once that aggregation and a site plan is approved, and the new legal created. We'd need to know whether these are leased units or condos units that will be bought and sold individually. ARCH Response – existing construction and proposed development are within a single – please clarify. Info Only 3 1 Engineering Suzanne Ryan 11/19/24 9:27 AM Library Comment BMC 38.410.130. Water Adequacy: The development will need to satisfy the water adequacy code requirement prior to a future site plan approval. If sufficient water rights cant be provided to offsets the development's annual demand then a cash-in-lieu of water rights (CILWR) payment will be required. The City assesses the CILWR fee at a rate of $6,000 per acre-foot. The fee determination will take place during the site plan review, however if there are any questions or if a preliminary review is desired please contact Griffin Nielsen with the Engineering/Utilities Department directly at gnielsen@bozeman.net or (406) 582-2279. The City encourages the use of groundwater wells to supply irrigation demands, which in turn will reduce the CILWR fee. Applicant must obtain a pre-determination from the DNRC demonstrating that a well groundwater well may be permitted under Montanas exempt appropriation or that provide the water right documentation if existing prior to finalization of the CILWR fee determination. Finally, the City would like to make the owner aware of an available CILWR rebate of approximately 20% for residential units if high-efficiency fixtures (toilets, washers, and shower heads) meeting the City Water Conservation Division standards are installed. The rebate would be released at occupancy and requires an agreement defining the terms and amount rebate be finalized and executed prior to final plan approval. If the owner is interested or has any questions please reach out to Griffin Nielsen.

Although the application states the formal request will include an Affordable Housing Plan using the shallow incentive of 2 extra stories, the top floor of the proposed building must still comply with the stepback requirements from the front building faade along both N 7th Avenue and W Mendenhall, as these are both considered front property lines.

The submitted application indicates the formal request will include an Affordable Housing Plan utilizing the shallow incentive for 2 extra stories of height. However, the roof elevation shows an amenity area with restrooms which would be considered enclosed living space and therefore an additional building story.

The applicant is requesting a variance to the rear setback along an alley. Any application for a variance must meet the criteria in BMC 38.250.070.C including demonstrating a hardship which is not created by the applicant or financially related. It does not appear this project would meet the criteria for a variance and staff would not be supportive of the request.

The B-2M district requires a minimum floor to floor heigh of 15-feet. Note 21 further states floor-to-floor height is defined as the height between each floor plate in a building measured from the top of the ground floor to the top of the floor above. This standard applies to non-residential buildings, and mixed-use buildings, except for residential portions of mixed-use buildings. As the first and second floor of the proposed building will contain commercial uses, the minimum floor to floor height of 15-feet applies. The submitted elevation plans show these floors at only 11-feet and 10-feet in height. Please revised the proposed building to comply with this standard.

The applicant has indicated they would like to request a departure (not a variance as stated in the submitted materials) to the Storefront block frontage standards for the minimum sidewalk width along W Mendenhall. Staff would not be supportive of this requested departure as the request would not comply with the departure criteria under BMC 38.510.030.B.3.e. The intersection of N 7th Avenue and W Mendenhall is designated as a High Visibility Street Corner and redevelopment of this property will set the tone and standard for the remainder of the street façade. Similar projects along W Mendenhall across N 7th Avenue are also being constructed to the wider sidewalk requirement, and compliance with the block frontage standards would create consistency within this entire area. 36 1 Planning Bailey Minnich 11/26/24 2:54 PM Comment BMC 38.510.030.B.2 Storefront block frontage standards.

Untreated blank walls visible from a public street, pedestrian-oriented space, common usable open space, or pedestrian pathway are prohibited. Blank wall is further defined in BMC 38.700.030 as a ground floor wall or portion of a ground floor wall that does not include a transparent window or door. The proposed eastern elevation would meet the definition of a blank wall, and certain sections of the southern front elevation along W Mendenhall would also meet this definition. Although staff is aware the intent of the proposed building is for a zero-lot line type configuration, the proposed site plan shows a 2-feet wide setback along the eastern side property line. Additionally, until the adjacent lot to the east is redeveloped at some point in the future, this eastern wall would meet the blank wall definition. Staff recommends a temporary solution for the eastern wall be proposed which we could address in the staff report findings. Some temporary solutions available in the code include multiple vertical trellises or a mural, which could be removed at a future date. Please provide an updated elevation plan on how the applicant will address the blank walls on both the east and south elevations to continue adequacy review.
