Zoning district, Clarion project status
Wes Baumgartner with local CTA office at the table, Cameron on the phone to give

Discussion. Bill questioned signage section. More discussion. Clarion will clarify/add ‘act
of god’ language. In non-conformity exemption section Cameron will add “or 25,000 sq.
ft.” to addition language.
Allyson will follow up with Cameron on these two specific changes. Questions and answers with new director Wendy Thomas
Allyson invited Cameron and Wes to stay on the line, at the table to hear Wendy’s presentation.
Wendy introduced herself and gave her work history background. She brought to the
board her recent request to the commission, city manager to create an infill update to
Bozeman’s UDC. She has already visited with the other TIF districts, asking if they’d add
to what NSURB has started with the code work done by Clarion, so new codes can apply to
all areas of town. Wendy asked the board to take Clarion’s work and build on it.

Discussion. At September meeting board will need to discuss who will visit with property
owners for needed easements for Phase II lighting. Andrew suggested getting Brett Potter
on board to get easements, explain sign offering described by Allyson. Scott asked Wendy
why commission couldn’t approve now and allow Phase II lighting to get started? Wendy
and Allyson both replied that code is so specific that would have to be rescinded when new
all-city infill code was introduced.
Allyson and Brian Krueger are currently working on special sign option to get past current
problems, buying time until overlay approved and in place. Wendy went on to tell the
board she is moving forward with the city infill code work.
Susan made the motion to direct staff to continue work on amendment to sign code for
modification to nonconforming signs, according to Certificate of Approp. Code. Andrew
seconded the motion. All in favor. Allyson will prepare application and another planning
staff member will take it to eh commission.
FYI
Andrew shared idea of making a special Bobcat street design for the intersection at Aspen,
something with pedestrian crosswalk-type bricks, etc.
