These regulations shall be known as the Bozeman entryway corridor overlay district
regulations and may be cited as the entryway corridor regulations. (Ord. 1645 S 1, 2005)
18,30,020 Intent and Purpose
A. There are several arterial corridors entering Bozeman that introduce visitors and
residents alike to Bozeman. The visual attributes of these roadways provide a
lasting impression of the character of Bozeman. It is the intent and purpose of this
chapter to ensure that the quality of development along these corridors will enhance
the impression and enjoyment of the community both by guiding development and
change that occurs after the adoption of the ordinance codified in this title and by
stimulating and assisting, in conjunction with other provisions of this title,
improvements in signage, landscaping, access, and other contributing elements of
entry corridor appearance and function.
B. It is the intent of this chapter to establish design criteria, standards, and review
procedures that will allow the City and its advisory boards and agencies to review
and direct, in a fair and equitable manner, the development and redevelopment of
future and existing properties and facilities within the entry corridors. The
recommendations of the Design Review Board or Administrative Design Review
staff shall be given careful consideration in the final action of the Planning Director
or the City Commission. (Ord. 1645 S 1, 2005)

18,30,070 Application Requirements for Certificates of Appropriateness in Entryway

Applications for certificates of appropriateness shall be made in conjunction with applications

two-household, three-household, and four-household residential structures, each on individual
lots; signs; fences; property alterations; and certain amendments to site plans), applications for
certificates of appropriateness shall be made in conjunction with an application for sketch plan

material as setforth in Chapter 18.78. (Ord. 1645 S 1, 2005)
18,30,080 Deviation from Overlay or Underlying Zoning Requirements
A. To accomplish the intent and purpose of this chapter it may be necessary to deviate
from the strict application of the overlay or underlying zoning requirements.
Deviations from the underlying zoning requirements may be granted by the City
Commission after considering the recommendations of the Design Review Board
or Administrative Design Review staff.
B. The application for deviation shall be subject to the submittal and procedural
requirements of Chapters 18.34 and 18.78. The application shall be accompanied by
written and graphic material sufficient to illustrate the initial and final conditions that the
modified standards will produce. The City Commission shall make a determination that
the deviation will produce an environment, landscape quality, and character superior to
that produced by the existing standards, and which will be consistent with the intent and
purpose of this chapter, and with the adopted Design Objectives Plan for the particular
XVIII-30 p3 10/2005
entryway corridor. Upon such a finding, the City Commission may authorize deviations
of up to 20 percent beyond or below minimum or maximum standards respectively, as
established in the underlying zoning district regulations. If the City Commission does not
find that the proposed modified standards create an environment, landscape quality and
character superior to that produced by the existing standards and which will be
consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter and with the adopted Design
Objectives Plan for the particular entryway corridor, no deviation shall be granted. (Ord.
1645 S 1, 2005)
