Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Allyson Bristor, Associate Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Jurisdiction of a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for the
property located at 211 East Main Street (commonly known as the F&H Building) requesting the
establishment of a new projecting sign that is 19 square feet in area.
MEETING DATE: June 13, 2011
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
RECOMMENDATION: The City Commission reclaimed jurisdiction for the F&H Building
site plan application in 2010, located at 211 East Main Street. Therefore, because this COA
application is for the same property, Staff recommends that the City Commission consider
reclaiming to itself the final approval of the Santa Fe Red’s Projecting Sign COA application, per
Section 18.64.010 C.1 of the B.M.C., and further set a tentative public hearing date of July 18,
2011 for formal consideration of the application proposal.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Based upon the fact the City Commission reclaimed
jurisdiction of the F&H Building site development at 211 East Main Street, I move to
reclaim jurisdiction of the Santa Fe Red’s Sign COA application proposed for the same
property. I further move to set the Santa Fe Red’s Sign application’s public hearing date
to July 18, 2011.
BACKGROUND: Property owner Mike Hope and business owner Jared Bratsky, represented
by Locati Architects, submitted a sign permit and COA application for the establishment of a
new projecting sign at 211 East Main Street (commonly known as the F&H Building). The new
sign is proposed as 19 square feet in area and will read as “Santa Fe Red’s Restaurante Cantina.”
One deviation from the Bozeman Municipal Code is requested with the application, specifically
from Section 18.52.060, to allow the projecting sign to exceed 12 square feet in area.
When a zoning application has been reclaimed by the City Commission, it has been the policy of
the Commission to reclaim all subsequent applications related to the original zoning application.
Since the City Commission reclaimed and approved the site plan application for the F&H
Building, Staff believes it is appropriate for the Commission to reclaim the COA application for
the COA for the new projecting sign on the building.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None at this time.

ALTERNATIVES: The City Commission may choose to not reclaim jurisdiction of the
Santa Fe Red’s Sign COA application, and therefore, the Board of Adjustment would be the final
decision making body.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Reclaiming jurisdiction of the COA will not have any fiscal impacts.
Attachments: None.
