PLAN REVIEW DETERMINATION AND RECORD 38.740.090.B, BMC
This analysis and its resulting findings are based on the entirety of the application materials, the
Bozeman Municipal Code and associated standards, plans, and all other materials available during
the initial review period. Collectively, this information is the record of the review. In establishing the
record of review, the Director of Community Development and the Development
The City of Bozeman adopted the Bozeman Community Plan (the Future Land Use Plan) including the
Future Land Use Map on October 28th, 2025, by Resolution Number 2025-71. The Bozeman Community
Plan was made available for public review and comment prior to adoption and identified and analyzed
impacts of development. Notice was provided that the Bozeman Community Plan is the basis for
implementing land use regulations as required in 76-25-106, MCA.
Issue plans including but not limited to the Transportation Master Plan, the Parks, Recreation, and Active
Transportation Plan, the Sewer Facility Plan, Water Facility Plan, Stormwater Facility Plan, and Fire
Protection Master Plan were all considered and incorporated by reference in adoption of the Bozeman
Community Plan.
The Unified Development Code, contained in Chapter 38 of the Municipal Code, is the primary
implementing regulation for the Bozeman Community Plan and was adopted on December 16, 2025
through Ordinance 2025-12/2151. The Bozeman Community Plan and supporting issue plans were
utilized in consideration and adoption of the Unified Development Code. The City Commission found
that the Unified Development Code was in substantial compliance with the Bozeman Community Plan.
The Unified Development Code provides specific zoning and subdivision regulations as well as the
zoning designation which determined the allowable criteria for review of the site plan for development
of the subject property.
During adoption of the Unified Development Code, issue plans and the Bozeman Community Plan were
utilized to anticipate impacts of potential development. As such, city wide impacts resulting from the
proposed development were previously analyzed and made available for public review and comment
during the adoption of the land use plan including all issue plans, and adoption of zoning regulations,
subdivision regulations, and all subsequent amendments to the identified documents. Zoning
designations throughout the city were implemented to ensure that individual impacts to a given site
from a proposed development will fit into the framework of the previously considered city wide impacts.
Site Plan review ensures that site-specific impacts have been addressed with the materials submitted
with this application and are available for public review. Any development which conforms with the
standards of Montana Code Annotated and Bozeman Municipal Code has addressed all site-specific
impacts.
The following report reviews the subject application for compliance with the criteria and regulations
adopted by the State of Montana and the City of Bozeman.

completion of the enabling construction, Lot B will be permanently reduced by 2 parking spaces, Lot
C by 14 spaces, and Lot G by 2 spaces.
Despite these reductions, Bozeman Health currently provides 185 percent more parking than required
by code, as identified in Master Site Plan 23-357. Where parking lots are temporarily impacted, Stall,
aisle and Driveway Design comply with code requirements.
Parking to receive full evaluation with Site Plan Application 26-424, which proposes permanent
building additions and triggers review for parking compliance.
