CHAPTER 18.20
INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
18.20.010 INTENT AND PURPOSE OF INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
The intent and purposes of the industrial zoning districts is to establish areas within Bozeman that are
primarily industrial in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for development within
those areas. The purpose in having more than one industrial district is to provide opportunities for a
variety of employment and community service functions within the community while providing
predictability. There is a rebuttable presumption that the uses set forth for each district will be
compatible with each other when the standards of this title are met and any applicable conditions of
approval have been satisfied. Additional requirements for development apply within overlay districts.
A. The intent of the M-1 light manufacturing district is to provide for the community’s needs for
wholesale trade, storage and warehousing, trucking and transportation terminals, light
manufacturing and similar activities. The district should be oriented to major transportation
facilities yet arranged to minimize adverse effects on residential development, therefore, some
type of screening may be necessary.
B. The intent of the M-2 manufacturing and industrial district is to provide for heavy
manufacturing and industrial uses, servicing vocational and employment needs of Bozeman
residents.
C. The intent of the B-P business park district is to provide for high quality settings and facilities
for the development of a variety of compatible employment opportunities. These areas should
be developed so as to recognize the impact on surrounding or adjacent development and
contribute to the overall image of the community. Compatibility with adjacent land uses and
zoning is required.
18.20.020 AUTHORIZED USES
A. Uses in the various industrial districts are depicted in the table below. Principal uses are indicated
with a “P”, conditional uses are indicated with a “C”, accessory uses are indicated with an “A”,
and uses which are not permitted with the district are indicated by a “-”. A particular proposed
development may fall under more than one listed category with different review processes. In
such cases, the more stringent review process shall apply.
B. The uses listed are deliberately broad and are defined in Chapter 18.80, BMC. The intent of this
method is to provide general guidance for uses while allowing the unique needs and
circumstances of each proposal to be specifically addressed through the review process. Some
uses are the subject of special regulations contained in Chapter 18.40, BMC.
C. Additional telecommunication uses are established in Chapter 18.54, BMC.
