Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Allyson Bristor, Associate Planner
Tim McHarg, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to Reclaim Jurisdiction of a Conditional Use Permit application, to
allow the expansion of the serving area for on-premise consumption of all
alcoholic beverages at 611 East Main Street, zoned B-2 (Community
Business District).
MEETING DATE: March 5, 2012
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission reclaim jurisdiction based on
the inability of the BOA to assemble a quorum to hear the deviation request at their March meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to reclaim jurisdiction of the Montana Aleworks
Conditional Use Permit application #Z-12017.
BACKGROUND: Property owners 611 East Main, LLC, 101 East Main St., Ste. D, Bozeman,
MT 59715 and representatives, Bechtle Architects, 3991 Valley Commons Dr., Ste. 100, Bozeman,
MT 59718 submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for the expansion of the outdoor seating
and serving area for on-premise consumption of all alcoholic beverages.
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.
