WHEREAS, 1 member of the public spoke at the public hearing and generally expressed
support for the application, but wondered what the applicant’s development plans would be; and
WHEREAS, four Planning Board members were supportive of the application because they
felt that the site was not appropriate for neighborhood commercial uses due to it’s location; and
WHEREAS, two Planning Board members were not supportive of the proposal because
they felt that neighborhood commercial uses are needed in the area, and this site had been planned
and zoned for such uses for a long time; and
WHEREAS, one Planning Board member was not supportive of the proposal because she
felt that the timing was bad; and
WHEREAS, after considerable discussion amongst Board members, a majority of the City
of Bozeman Planning Board in attendance was able to find that the proposed growth policy
amendment complied with the four criteria for consideration established in Section 2.4.1 of the
Bozeman 2020 Community Plan, however the recommendation of approval is not formal or official
because 5 affirmative votes were required; and
