Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Keri Thorpe, Assistant Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: N7Rehab – A Redevelopment Incentive Grant Program for the North 7th
Avenue Urban Renewal District
MEETING DATE: September 20, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
RECOMMENDATION: Consider a motion to approve Resolution 4289 creating a
Redevelopment Incentive Program (“N7Rehab”) for the North 7th Avenue Urban Renewal
District
BACKGROUND: The North 7th Avenue Urban Renewal Board (NSURB) has worked with
Planning Department staff to create a redevelopment incentive program to encourage voluntary
repair and rehabilitation of blighted properties within the North 7th Avenue Urban Renewal
District. The program is being created to reduce blighting influences and to offset the costs of
redeveloping a property within the District in order to encourage private investment and
stimulate economic and business development. Eligible costs paid by the grant funds are those
that implement the District Plan and/or eliminate blight.
At a special meeting held September 8, 2010, the NSURB voted in favor of capping the
maximum grant award at $50,000 or 15% of the total project cost, whichever is less. The
addition of a Technical Assistance grant program for redevelopment feasibility studies is being
considered. The NSURB will continue to discuss adding Technical Assistance as a component of
N7Rehab or as separate program. If the NSURB chooses to add a Technical Assistance grant
program, a Resolution will be drafted for the Commission’s consideration.
Assistant City Attorney Tim Cooper was consulted during the drafting of program documents.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: On August 2nd, 2010 the City Commission approved the North 7th Avenue
Urban Renewal Board Annual Work plan and Budget for FY2011. This budget allocated
95
$265,000 of the District’s tax increment financing for N7Rehab. As grant recipient projects are
successfully completed, these funds will be expended.

North 7th URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT
North 7th Commercial Rehabilitation Incentive Programs (N7Rehab)
INTRODUCTION
The Bozeman City Commission has authorized the North 7th Urban Renewal Board (NSURB) to implement
and administer the N7Rehab in the North 7th Urban Renewal District. Through N7Rehab, the NSURB may
award grants for the rehabilitation of commercial properties. These grants are dispersed at the completion of all
improvements associated with the project.
Applications for N7Rehab grants in the North 7th Urban Renewal District are subject to program eligibility
criteria and project guidelines listed below. In addition, project applications will be accepted and processed in
the order in which they are received and approved based on the availability of funds for the program.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the N7Rehab is to provide a program to encourage voluntary repair and rehabilitation
of commercial property within the North 7th Urban Renewal District (hereinafter referred to as the “District”) in
accordance with the provisions of the Montana Urban Renewal Law (7-15-4209 and 7-15-4288, M.C.A.).
Additional objectives are to:
• Encourage private investment in commercial property in the District through the use of public
incentives;
• Expand the property tax base in the District through private investment in income producing
properties;
• Stimulate economic and business development within the District; and
• Reduce blighting influences in the District
The grants are awarded at the discretion of the NSURB based upon review of the Applicant's compliance with
program objectives, eligibility requirements, and eligible construction activities.
N7Rehab offers assistance to property owners in the District in the rehabilitation of their property and tenant
businesses with a lease period equal to 5 or more years. The program provides grants for costs used for eligible
improvements in the District.
101
Page 2 of 7
The following eligibility requirements have been established to accomplish N7Rehab objectives in the repair,
maintenance or renovation of the exterior of buildings and deteriorated sites. Application forms are obtained
from the Bozeman Department of Planning and Community Development, and must be completed in their
entirety before the project will be considered.
1. The project property must be located within the North 7th Avenue Tax Increment Finance (TIF)
District. A detailed map of the district can be found at www.bozeman.net
2. Maximum grant award is set every fiscal year. For FY2011 the maximum award is $50,000 or 15%
of the total project cost, whichever is less. If seeking a grant solely for demolition, the grant award
may total up to 50 percent of the eligible demolition costs or $25,000, whichever is less.
3. All projects must be reviewed by the NSURB, and the award amount is at the discretion of the
NSURB.
4. This is a reimbursement program for ELIGIBLE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES (See Eligible
Construction activities and Applicant and NSURB Responsibilities below).
5. All building and site improvements must be completed within one year of approval. Extensions may
be granted by NSURB. Funds will not be disbursed until a Certificate of Completion is issued by
NSURB staff AND Certificate of Occupancy is issued by the Building Division.
6. All commercial property within the District is eligible for this program with the exception of
publicly owned buildings. For the purposes of this program, residential buildings with five or more
units will be considered commercial properties. All applications will be reviewed in the order in
which they are received by the NSURB. Projects along N. 7th Avenue will be given priority at this
time.
7. The Applicant's equity contribution to the project, the total expenditures for eligible improvements
and the commitment to undertake improvements or assume other development costs which are
ineligible for NSURB assistance will factor into the funding determination made by NSURB.
Generally, total project costs must be greater than or equal to $200,000, or $150,000, if a public
access easement is granted for sidewalk and streetscape improvements. Smaller projects may be
considered if the project eliminates a significant blighting factor from the District.
8. Eligibility is extended to property owners of record or tenants with a lease period equal to 5 or more
years. Tenants must submit written approval of the property owner and evidence of their leasehold
interest.
9. Special Improvement District and property tax assessments of the property to be rehabilitated must
be paid to date.
10. Applicants must submit rehabilitation plans for review to the Bozeman Department of Planning and
Community Development. The NSURB staff will review the list of TIF eligible components of the
project. Only those components that demonstrate a reduction in a blighting factor listed in the Blight
Report adopted by Resolution 3839 may qualify for N7Rehab funds. These factors have been listed
as eligible items in this program description.
11. Applicants must fully satisfy any other outstanding requirements related to NSURB funded projects
before they are eligible to submit another application.
12. All TIF eligible expenditures must be itemized by materials and labor. Construction estimates must
be obtained from a licensed and bonded contractors, independent of the project, and submitted with
the application. Receipts or comparable documentation will be required for all work undertaken to
allow monitoring of actual costs of eligible project improvements.
13. Building façade improvements must meet the standards described in the Bozeman Design Objectives
Plan. Design Review Staff or the Design Review Board may assist in determining the eligibility of
costs associated with building design improvements.
102

14. The property must currently be in commercial use or a legally binding commitment must exist, such
as an executed lease agreement, before the grant may be awarded. Evidence of these commitments
must be submitted.

Renewal Board and the North 7th Design and Connectivity Plan, all construction undertaken pursuant to the
N7Rehab must be in accordance with a design that has been reviewed and approved by the City of Bozeman
through the Sketch/Site Plan and Certificate of Appropriateness review process as outlined in Chapters 18.30

• Work initiated prior to necessary program approvals.

funding.

improved street and pedestrian lighting and correction to non-compliant accesses onto N. 7th Avenue. As
such, the NSURB has made funds available to assist property owners with these improvements. If located
