Commission Memorandum
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Allyson Bristor, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: South Church Halfway House CUP - #Z-08070
MEETING DATE: Monday, April 28, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.
CONSENT AGENDA
RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission consider reclaiming review authority for the
South Church Halfway House Conditional Use Permit #Z-08070.
BACKGROUND: The property owner Clarice Dreyer, representative ADSGC, and applicant
Shelly Johnson, submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for the establishment of a
“recovery support home,” for eight male individuals requiring a safe and sober living
environment, at the 119 South Church Avenue. The site plan application is scheduled for first-
week review by the Development Review Committee on May 7, 2008. The standard review
authority for the application is the Planning Director.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: As informally affirmed by the City Commission at the April 21,
2008 regular Commission public meeting, Planning Staff would like to inquire whether the
Commission would like to formally reclaim review authority for the site plan application per
section 18.64.010 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. This section allows that the Commission
may, by an affirmative, simple majority, vote of its members at a regularly scheduled meeting
reclaim to itself the final approval of a development normally subject to the approval of the
Planning Director. The project would be considered at the June 2, 2008 public meeting. If the
Commission chooses not to reclaim the project a staff report will be forwarded to the Planning
Director.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Department of Planning is not aware of any fiscal effects for the
proposed development at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
CONTACT: Please email Allyson Bristor at abristor@bozeman.net if you have any questions
prior to the public hearing.
