Section 1
Legislative Findings:
1. The nature of manufacturing has changed since the City of Bozeman first adopted zoning
regulations and districts in 1934.
2, Overtime, the City has adopted other regulatory standards such as building and fire codes which
overlap with some of the purposes for zoning established in 76-2-304, MCA and 38.01.040,
BMC. Application of those standards avoids or mitigates potential negative impacts which would
otherwise justify separation of manufacturing from other uses.

3. In 2009, the City adopted the Economic Development Plan which encourages the development
and expansion of manufacturing within the community in order to provide mid to high wage jobs
and diversity the economy.
4. The City's experience with many site development reviews for manufacturing uses has shown
that under the proper conditions manufacturing harmoniously coexists with adjoining properties,
5. Smaller scale and lighter intensity manufacturing uses are those which are more likely to avoid
negative impacts to others.
6. Manufacturing may be present on a site in support of another use allowed by a zoning district
and it is reasonable to facilitate business operations by not unduly restricting the locations where
manufacturing may occur.
