18.20.010 Intent and Purpose of Industrial Zoning Districts
The intent and purposes of the industrial zoning districts is to establish areas within Bozeman
that are primarily industrial in character and to set forth certain minimum standards for
development within those areas. The purpose in having more than one industrial district is to
provide opportunities for a variety of employment and community service functions within the
community while providing predictability. There is a rebuttable presumption that the uses set forth
for each district will be compatible with each other when the standards of this title are met and
any applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied. Additional requirements for
development apply within overlay districts.
A. The intent of the M-1, light manufacturing, district is to provide for the community's
needs for wholesale trade, storage and warehousing, trucking and transportation
terminals, light manufacturing, and similar activities. The district should be oriented
to major transportation facilities yet arranged to minimize adverse effects on
residential development, therefore, some type of screening may be necessary.
B. The intent of the M-2, manufacturing and industrial, district is to provide for heavy
manufacturing and industrial uses, servicing vocational and employment needs of
Bozeman residents.
C. The intent of the B-P, business park, district is to provide for high quality settings
and facilities for the development of a variety of compatible employment
opportunities. These areas should be developed so as to recognize the impact on
surrounding or adjacent development and contribute to the overall image of the
community. Compatibility with adjacent land uses and zoning is required. (Ord.
1645 ~ 1, 2005)
18.20.020 Authorized Uses
A. Uses in the various industrial districts are depicted in the table below. Principal
uses are indicated with a "P", conditional uses are indicated with a "C", accessory
uses are indicated with an "A", and uses which are not permitted with the district are
indicated by a "-". A particular proposed development may fall under more than
one listed category with different review processes. In such cases, the more
stringent review process shall apply.
B. The uses listed are deliberately broad and are defined in Chapter 18.80. The intent
of this method is to provide general guidance for uses while allowing the unique
XVIII-20 p1 10/2005
needs and circumstances of each proposal to be specifically addressed through the
review process. Some uses are the subject of special regulations contained in
Chapter 18.40.
C. Additional telecommunication uses are established in Chapter 18.54.
