Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Allyson C. Bristor, Associate Planner
Chris Saunders, Interim Planning Director
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Jurisdiction of F&H Building Conditional Use Permit/Certificate of
Appropriateness Application (#Z-10008) Final Approval
MEETING DATE: February 16, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission consider reclaiming to itself the final approval of
the F&H Building Conditional Use Permit/Certificate of Appropriateness application, per Section
18.64.010 C.1 of the B.M.C., and further set a tentative public hearing date of March 8, 2010 for formal
consideration of the application proposal.
BACKGROUND: The F&H Building Conditional Use Permit/Certificate of Appropriateness
(CUP/COA) application includes the rebuilding of the Rocking R Bar business which was destroyed in
the March 5, 2009 downtown Bozeman explosion. The application includes the previous Rocking R Bar
property (which also included Boodles and Pickle Barrel restaurants) and additionally includes the
previous Montana Trails Gallery property. The CUP is required because the sale of alcohol for on-
premise consumption is proposed for establishment on the additional property. The application was
submitted to the Department of Planning & Community Development on January 27, 2010 and deemed
acceptable for initial review on January 28, 2010.
The CUP/COA application is normally subject to the approval of the Board of Adjustment. However, the
application proposal will likely be connected with a City of Bozeman project using the appropriated
federal money through the Department of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development for the
“reconstruction following an explosion in a downtown historic district.” The City Commission will be a
part of that project review and City Staff believes it is in the best interest of the community if they also
review the CUP/COA application.
The City Commission public hearing date is tentatively set for March 8, 2010.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None identified.
FISCAL IMPACTS: The standard application fee was received for the CUP/COA project and was
added to the Department of Planning’s application fee revenue.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
