If plan is acceptable, consider a motion approving the plan. FISCAL EFFECTS: Adoption of the expenditure plan will allocate tax increment for the administration of adopted Plan for the Northeast Urban Renewal District ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. 80 1 Northeast Urban Renewal Board 2009 Annual Work Plan The Bozeman City Commission with Mayor Jeff Kraus presiding adopted ordinance 1655 which formally enacted the Northeast Urban Renewal Plan. The stated mission of the plan and general goals are as follows: MISSION VISION: This Plan is the city s response to remedy the conditions of blight found in the August 2005 report The Plan also addresses other issues important to the District The plans purpose is to ensure the vitality of the Northeast Urban Renewal District (NURD) the vitality of the NURD for generations to come and to make the NURD an area in which its citizens can take exceptional pride The Plan envisions a mixed use neighborhood that is user friendly safe secure and healthy. While this plan envisions a District with diversity of housing businesses and amenities it intends to maintain the unique ambiance and historic character of the District. Nine principals were developed for the plan for the plan. Each of the principals has one or more goals associated with the plan some of which specifically relate to this work plan others represent general objectives and directives. The Northeast Urban Renewal Board (NURB) goals are as follows: GENERAL GOALS:  Outdated or insufficient infrastructure should be repaired, replaced, or otherwise improved.  Provide public utilities to the area efficiently in ways that are not visually or physically obtrusive.  Encourage a land use pattern that facilitates all modes of transportation – vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, mass transit, and commercial – for safe, efficient and convenient access for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.  Provide the necessary land use elements for successful commercial and industrial development in a way that is harmonious with other adopted community goals and residential quality of life concerns.  Encourage commercial development that provides basic needs, ala “the corner grocery,” that also encourages less motorized commuting and less traffic.  New structures should be designed and built keeping in mind the public values of durability, flexibility, and simplicity. Thoughtful consideration of design, materials, and massing in the construction of new private buildings will add 81 2 strength and character to the built environment. To the degree that the private sector can be influenced by a public partner in development, the community ought to strongly encourage excellence in urban design as a basis of partnership.  Promote sustainable building practices in the district  Encourage the City to help ensure the success of the Northeast Urban Renewal Plan by giving a high priority to the Northeast District in its capital improvements plan.  Work with neighborhoods and businesses to ensure actions taken in the district are compatible with adjacent developed areas.  Neither the City of Bozeman nor any of its subdivisions shall use eminent domain to take private property for private use in the implementation of an urban renewal project or similar redevelopment plan.  Procure new land for park and open space  Improve landscaping in existing public spaces WORK PLAN GOALS: The Work plan was developed through a consensus vote by the Board for items that were most relevant given our budgetary constraints for 2009. Work plan goals were simplified to cover four broad topic issues Parks, Walkability, Utility, Public Assistance, and Administration. Generally the work plan is to gather more research on each of the specific goals to determine a project for capital expenditure by next year’s work plan session or as the opportunities may arise for grants, development cooperation, city collaboration, etc. This work will be completed through the volunteer efforts of the NURB. Each of the work plan goals includes the requested fund amount. PARKS Identify locations that are suitable for parks in the area in addition to seeking funding through cash-in-lieu, grants, etc to achieve goal. NURB will also work directly with City Parks Dept., Park and Recreation Board and Gallatin Valley Land Trust Requested funds:WALKABILITY $0.00 (achieved through Board volunteer efforts) Improve walkability and bikeability of neighborhood by identifying where there are no sidewalks/trails/bikelanes and where there needs to be sidewalks/trails/bike lanes. NURB will coordinate efforts with Gallatin Valley Land Trust. Requested funds: $0.00 (achieved through board volunteer efforts) 82 3 UTILITY Coordinate effort with City Capital Improvement Program projects as they include sewer, water and streets that impact the District and seek outside funding support for utility projects. Identify specifically where there are deficiencies in the District. Requested funds:PUBLIC ASSITANCE $0.00 (achieved through Board volunteer efforts) Research to provide informational assistance to mitigate impact of development and increased taxes to residents Requested funds:ADMINISTRATION $0.00 (achieved through Board volunteer efforts) A request funding for incidental paperwork and communications to ensure the successful execution of the work plan as required. Requested funds:GENERAL ACTIVITES $1,000.00 (and through Board volunteer efforts) In addition to setting the aforementioned goals, monitoring the condition of the Front Street Depot and its surroundings has been an on-going project. This contributing structure in the Story Mill Historic District has been neglected for some time. Board members have contacted City Staff to seek guidance in preventing further deterioration from occurring. Board members also hope to start a dialogue with representatives of Montana Rail Link." The City of Bozeman hereby designates the above mentioned funds to the enumerated projects consistent with City Ordinance 1655 “Northeast Urban Renewal Plan” dated November 14 2005. These funds are estimated and are authorized up to 10% above the estimation. The City does not intend further approval of these monies unless otherwise required under the City’s Ordinances or Purchasing Policy. 83 4 Existing Balance $27,727.82 2009 Northeast Urban Renewal Plan

PG 10 FINANCE PG 14 DISTRICT MAP FIG 1 RESOLUTION 3835 APPENDIX 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPENDIX 2 3 89 NORTH EAST URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT PLAN HISTORICAL CONTEXT In the I880s Bozeman s economic fortunes blossomed with the anival of the Northern Pacific Railway which established a depot at the northeast end ofthe young city and connected it with distant markets The town s early entrepreneurs established flour mills residences freight storage and a brewery on new streets named for trees mostly the fruit bearing variety but Montana species as well Perhaps these names came in deference to the timber products and fruit that passed through but much ofthis freight and food processing activity has receded into history In the 120 years since this place bTew into a rail centered enterprise zone Bozeman s economic center of gravity moved elsewhere leaving the neighborhood short on paved streets sidewalks street lighting parks and sound infrastructure with scattered evidence ofhygone industrial activity remaining rail track and ties cable spools grain storage bins and upright fuel tanks INTRODUCTION This Urban Renewal Plan was prepared by a 13 member committee composed of a range ofbusinesses and residents from the District and the adjacent Northeast Neighborhood in response to the City Commission s finding ofhlight on August 15 2005 Resolution 3835 Appendix 1 The City Commission supported the blight designation unanimously in order to create an Urban Renewal District because it believed this would encourage infill within the city limits and that the Tax Increment Finance TIF District created by the designation would help fInance such infill While acknowledging that change development is inevitable in the District and that the creation ofan Urban Renewal District and its associated Tax Increment Financing would encourage economic vitality in the District it should be noted that some Northeast Neighborhood citizens and several committee members perceived few of the problems cited in the blight report Thus considerable efforts in the development ofthis plan were made to consider the many different and sometimes conflicting interests of the committee members The hope is that the end product the Northeast Urban Renewal Plan adequately balances the needs to remedy blight and encourage economic vitality and livability while also ensuring that future development preserves and enhances the eclectic character of the District to the fullest extent possible A map of the District is found in Figure 1 and a general description of the area included in the District is contained in Appendix 2 4 90 MISSION VISION This Plan is the city s response to remedy the conditions ofblight found in the August 2005 report The Plan also addresses other
