Subject: Bozeman Deaconess Health Services (BDHS)' Sub-Area Affordable Housing
Plan
On July 12, 2006, Jason Leep presented the Bozeman Deaconess Health Services
(BDHS)' Sub-Area Affordable Housing Plan to the CAHAB.
Mary Martin made a motion, Carol Townsend seconded, and the following motion passed
unanimously. The CAHAB recommends the City Commission approve the Bozeman
Deaconess Health Services (BDHS)' Sub-Area Affordable Housing Plan with the
following comments:
1. House payments and the corresponding house price would be based on 30% of the
household's monthly gross income for PITI and homeowners association dues rather than
the 36% proposed in summation point number 4.
2. Summation point number 7 would be amended to include, "prior to the lot being
sold open market the City of Bozeman would receive a right of first refusal to purchase
the lot at the affordable value."
In summation point number 7, the words unfavorable and uncontrollable would be
defined as they relate to the market conditions that trigger the lot being sold at the open
market price.
3. Prior to approval of the sub-division, covenants would be submitted that required
a single car garage, front porch and modern durable attractive exterior materials. The
subdivision plan would include a landscaping plan.
The CAHAB commends the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital for voluntarily taking the step to
include affordable housing in their subdivision and thereby showing other developers that the
draft housing ordinance was workable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bozeman City Commission
FROM: Jody Sanford, Senior Planner
RE: Bozeman Deaconess Health Services - Subarea Affordable Housing Plan
DATE: August 16, 2006
Bozeman Deaconess Health Services (BDHS) has proposed an Affordable Housing Plan
as a component of their Subarea Plan which was approved by the Commission on
February 27, 2006. With this plan, BDHS wishes to define a program whereby the
development within the 510-acre subarea may assist in mitigating the City-wide need
for affordable housing. BDHS is one of the largest employers in the region, and a
supply of quality affordable housing located conveniently to the BDHS work forces’
place of employment would be a positive asset for BDHS.
This plan was reviewed by the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board
(CAHAB) on July 12, 2006. At that time, CAHAB voted to recommend approval of the
plan with the 3 revisions recommended in the attached memo dated July 12, 2006.
Planning staff is also supportive of this plan, but would recommend that the following
revisions be made to the document:
1. Include Page numbers in the document.
2. Page 5, Detached Single Household Lots, Paragraph 1 – Sentence 7 should be
amended to read as follows: “With the approval of BDHS, the builder will apply
for relaxations, through the planned unit development (PUD) process, to further
divide…”
3. Page 5, Detached Single Household Lots, Paragraph 1 – Sentence 8 should be
amended to read as follows: “The City should provide for an expedited review
of these subsequent requests as allowed for in Section 18.34.060.E of the
Bozeman Unified Development Ordinance.”
4. Page 6, Detached Single Household Lots, Paragraph 3 – Sentence 5 should be
amended as follows: “Subsequent to specific homes being designed for the
Page 2
specific lot and site, further subdivision would occur to create the internal lot
lines at which time site and home specific relaxations from subdivision zoning
standards would also be requested through the PUD process.”
5. Page 6, Attached Single Household Lots, Paragraph 1 – Sentence 7 should be
amended as follows: “With the approval of BDHS, the builder will apply to
further subdivide the “grouping” lot. The builder will also apply for relaxations
through the PUD process, according to that specific builder’s needs on that
specific lot, such as reduced setbacks, reduced minimum lot sizes, increased
floor area ratios and zero lot lines.”
6. Page 6, Attached Single Household Lots, Paragraph 1 - Sentenace 9 should be
amended as follows: “The City should provide for an expedited review of these
subsequent requests as allowed for in Section 18.34.060.E of the Bozeman Unified
Development Ordinance.”
