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.
