Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Brian Krueger, Associate Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to Reclaim Jurisdiction of a Zoning Variance application, to allow
additional signage at 2304 N. 7th Avenue, zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing
District).
MEETING DATE: March 5, 2012
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission reclaim jurisdiction based on
the inability of the Board of Adjustment (BOA) to assemble a quorum to hear the variance request at
their March meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to reclaim jurisdiction of the Bridger Industrial Park
Signage Zoning Variance application #C-12001.
BACKGROUND: Property owners Bridger Industrial Park, 1276 N. 15th Ave., Ste. 103,
Bozeman, MT 59715 submitted a Zoning Variance application for the additional of signage above
the maximum allowed per lot within the M-1 Zoning District at a multi-tenant complex located at
2304 N. 7th Avenue.
Staff learned at the January 10th BOA meeting that the BOA is unable to form a quorum to hear this
application in March. The earliest a BOA quorum forum can be formed is in April. Staff therefore
requests the Commission reclaim jurisdiction of the application to be heard at their regularly
scheduled March 26, 2012 hearing in order to provide the property owner with timely review of the
application.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: The City Commission may choose to not reclaim jurisdiction of the
application, and therefore, the BOA would be the final decision making body and the project would
be scheduled to their April 10, 2012 meeting.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None at this time.
