BOZEMAN CITY COMMISSION
Staff Report
_____________________________________________________________________________
Item: Ordinance No. 1705
Date/Time: 6:00 p.m., Monday, May 14, 2007, In the Community Room of Gallatin County
Courthouse, 311 West Main Street, Bozeman, MT.
Report By: Ron Brey, Assistant City Manager
______________________________________________________________________________
Description/Location
The area under consideration includes the west side of South 8th Avenue from Story
Street to Dickerson Street, the south side of West Story Street from south 8th Avenue to South 9th
Avenue, and the east side of South 9th Avenue for West Story Street to West Dickerson Street.
Proposal
Residents on these streets have petitioned the Commission for inclusion in the MSU
Residential Permit Parking District established by Ordinance 1377. A copy of the petition is
attached.
Staff Findings
Using the 2000 Polk Directory and a field check, it appears that 75% of the residences on
south 8th, and 100% of the residences on South 9th and West Story are represented on the
petition.
Several counts of parked cars were conducted during the weeks preceding the hearing.
There are approximately 10 curbside parking spaces available on each side of the street. The
following average counts of parked cars were noted: (cars parked/number of spaces)
Outside of school hours: 8th 9th Story
1/9 4.5/10 3/8
During school hours: 5/9 9/10 5/8
While these figures do not indicate a dramatic commuter pattern, the observations do not
track individual cars. It is frequently the case that residents’ cars parked on the street move out
68
at the start of the work day to be replaced by commuter vehicles, resulting in little net change in
the numbers of cars parked on the street. The letter accompanying the submitted petition states:
“due to overwhelming parking problems…” This statement reflects a long term observation of
parking patterns on the streets proposed for inclusion.
Conclusion
In order to add areas to the MSU Residential Permit Parking District, the Commission
should find that the same conditions are met as were for the establishment of the original district;
that the area proposed is:
1. Predominantly residential in character;
2. An area, the streets of which are regularly congested with vehicles parked by persons not
residing in the area;
3. An area where limiting the parking of vehicles along the public streets better provides
adequate motor vehicle parking for residents of the area.
The Commission must further find that the creation of this residential permit parking area
would further one or more of the following objectives:
1. Promote tranquility among commuters and residents;
2. Reduce noise;
3. Reduce traffic hazards; or
4. Reduce litter.
The staff finds that the situation existing on these streets is consistent with that on other
streets which the Commission has annexed into the district and approving this annexation
would be consistent with past actions.
