EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Unresolved Issues
None identified at this time.
Project Summary
The Midtown zone text amendment, revisions to the entryway corridor, and zone map
amendment encompass the majority of phase 1 of the overall effort to revise the City of
Bozeman Unified Development Code (UDC). The three separate ordinances associated with
this staff report work harmoniously to achieve the desired outcome for implementing the
2006 Design and Connectivity Plan for North 7th Avenue Corridor. The Midtown zone text
amendment will create two (2) new zoning districts in the City. These districts are not
restricted to the Midtown area and may be applied elsewhere in the City after the appropriate
zone map amendment process.
The City is revising the development code in a two-step process. Phase one is focused on the
North Seventh Avenue corridor and urban renewal/tax increment district (TIF). The purpose
is to implement the North 7th Design and Connectivity Plan and the 2015 Urban Renewal
Plan (Ordinance 1925). As the TIF matures, broader design guidelines are needed in order to
address the goal of district revitalization. The key to altering the suburban development
patterns of the area that seem to be devaluing property – large, barren and numerous parking
lots, wasted space, and outdated site design – is to create a design plan that can guide the
Board and the Commission in the allocation of limited funds to create the greatest impact to
revitalize the district. Developing a vision and plan implemented by zoning for the district
will assist property owners in seeing the unrealized value in their property. Retrofitting is
incremental and adaptive, but needs to be guided by an overall vision for the district.
A new design plan with implementing zone district will help Midtown Urban Renewal Board
(MURB) to create implementing policies for funding infrastructure, façade and site
improvements that maximize market forces to encourage diversification and redevelopment.
Recommendations to address key design challenges to altering the suburban development
pattern to create internal and external integration of the parts over time and over multiple
parcels is a critical policy that is needed to move the district to the next stage. Innovative
ideas to address zoning and subdivision regulations to overcome the existing fragmentation
are needed. It is anticipated that this will be a mixed use corridor rehabilitation oriented
district.
The primary reasoning for the proposed modifications are:
1. Supporting the goals and objectives the Bozeman Community Plan
2. Implement the Design and Connectivity Plan for N 7th Avenue Corridor

Alternatives
This code amendment may influence significant policy issues such as density, city vitality,
and delivery of city services, urban form, and viability of future alternative transportation
modes.
Alternatives for Commission action are:
1) Adopt the amendments as proposed by Staff,
2) Adopt the amendments with revisions,
3) Do not adopt the amendments and leave the language as it exists.

SECTION 1 - RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
Project Name: Midtown Text and Map Amendment
File: 15-320
Having considered the criteria established for a municipal code amendment, the Community
Development Staff recommends the approval of the text and the zone map amendments.
The significance of revision to the City's development code warranted additional evaluation
of the proposed text. The City convened a 13 member advisory committee representing a
myriad of sectors of our community to consider various alternatives and provide direction to
the consultant team. The UDC Amendment Advisory Committee has met five times to
discuss, comment, and provide feedback and direction on the process, text, and map. The
advisory committee will continue to meet throughout the project.
The Zoning Commission and Planning Board held a joint public work session on March 22,
2016 to consider the proposed amendments. Public comment was received.
The Zoning Commission and Planning Board will hold a joint public hearing on the proposed
amendments on April 5, 2016.
The City Commission will hold a public work session on the text March 28, 2016 and a
public hearing on the amendments and provisional adoption of Ordinances 1942, 1943, and
1946 on April 11, 2016.
SECTION 2 - STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
In considering applications for approval under this title, the advisory boards and City
Commission shall consider the following:
Section 76-2-304, MCA (Zoning) Criteria
A. Be in accordance with a growth policy.
Yes. An underlying principle of the Bozeman Community Plan is that public and quasi-
public infrastructure is necessary to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of our
citizens; and maintain and grow our community.
The City of Bozeman’s Vision is detailed in Chapter 1 of the Bozeman Community Plan.
The first goal relates to growth management to promote the unique history and character of
Bozeman by preserving, protecting, and enhancing the overall quality of life within the
planning area. The code amendment is significant in the number of goals and policies it
315
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 5 of 18
furthers and the geographical coverage. The proposal affects 243.2 acres of property within
the City limits. The overarching goal of this text amendment is to implement the Design and
Connectivity Plan for N 7th Avenue Corridor by establishing code provisions to revitalize and
invigorate investment within the district.
The City's guiding principles, Part 2.1, can best be described as follows:
1. Strives to achieve a fair and proper balance among conflicting interests, to protect the
rights of citizens, and to affirm community values as they have been expressed by
citizens and throughout the planning process.
Response. The effort to revise the City's development come is approximately one third
complete upon adoption of these amendments. Staff and the consultant team have
actively pursued citizen engagement through direct mailing, multiple advertisements,
television interviews, hosting a web site with current information, presentations to the
City Commission on the progress and next steps with information on how to participate,
and numerous public events. To date we have initiated 25 public opportunities to engage
in the process. These efforts will continue through the completion of the project.
Diverse groups of residents, property owners, and associations are actively involved;
each with their particular set of desired outcomes. Harmonizing these conflicting
interests is an ongoing effort. However, the proposed amendments strike a balance to
further the Bozeman Community Plan and affirm community values.
2. Realizes interrelated goals for land use, housing, transportation, environmental concerns,
and economic development.
Response. The proposed text and map amendments, taken holistically, are aligned with
the interrelated goals for land use, housing, transportation, environmental concerns, and
economic development by focusing investment in an area primed for infill development
that already has all necessary infrastructure to support the additional residential and
commercial activities. The school and transportation systems are in place. The proposed
text amendment will utilize limited land more efficiently than nearly all other areas of the
City. Finally, the existing regulatory framework in place will retain the natural amenities
that are so desirable in Bozeman.
3. Builds on desirable existing conditions while recognizing and improving upon
undesirable conditions.
Response. The primary goals and objectives of the N 7th Corridor plan are to capitalize
on the opportunities the area has. The proposed amendments are context sensitive by
allowing development to incrementally evolve in a manner that will retain the character
of the neighborhoods and achieve the over arching goals of investment and revitalization
of the corridor.
316
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 6 of 18
4. Engages citizens in planning and decision-making efforts at the neighborhood, citywide,
and regional levels.
Response. As noted above, staff has aggressively engaged all aspects of the community
to participate in the development of the proposed amendments. Numerous direct
mailings have reached over 750 property and business owners in the affected area, a
constantly evolving web site as a resource, newspaper ads, advisory committee, and
numerous public meetings.
5. Affirms Bozeman’s commitment to responsible stewardship of the natural environment,
excellence of environmental design, and conservation of the heritage of the built
environment.
Response. The proposed amendments incorporate the City's general zoning codes and
integrate aspects of the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District's design
considerations and additional design requirements found in the Design Objectives Plan.
Additional design requirements will be incorporated with the adoption of phase 2.
Therefore, in the interim the requirements of the Design Objectives Plan will apply.
6. Includes sustainability considerations in community development decisions.
Response. Increased building heights and density, strategic parking reductions, and
modifications to the entryway corridor being proposed will create a sustainable
development patter to accommodate anticipated population growth in the city.
The analysis provided supports the goals stated in Chapter 2 of the North 7th Corridor Plan
including developing the corridor as a focus for commercial and entertainment activities that
serve residents and visitors alike, strengthening the corridor as a neighborhood service center,
providing mixed use development and guiding new development along the corridor such that
it improves the aesthetic experience.
The text amendment relates to a number of specific objects in the Bozeman Community Plan
including:
Objective G-1.1: Ensure growth is planned and developed in an orderly and publicly open
manner that maintains Bozeman as a functional, pleasing, and social community.
The region of the City affected by this text amendment is central to the City’s historic, social,
economic, and general identity. Full infrastructure services are established in the area the
amendment covers and are underutilized. Maximizing the efficiency of these services is in
the best interest of the City. The development potential will increase the vehicular,
pedestrian, and multimodal opportunities within the City as it is realized.
Numerous properties within the affected area have seen limited investment or remain vacant.
Development on these sites and revitalization of others will further the goals and objectives
317
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 7 of 18
of the Community Plan. Development will increase connectivity and activity in the area
furthering the social attributes of the community.
Objective G-1.4: Ensure that Bozeman grows in a sustainable manner with consideration for
climate change, health and safety, food production, housing, employment opportunities,
natural hazard mitigation, and natural resource conservation.
The proposed text amendment directly supports this objective by establishing code
provisions to revitalize and invigorate investment within the district. Redevelopment and
infill development may reduce vehicle trips due the proximity to housing, employers and
educational opportunities. The proximity to existing resources such as the fair grounds, Main
Street, other commercial areas, schools, housing and cultural activities furthers the City’s
efforts to create a vital City capable of accommodating the needs of all residence.
Goal C-1 addresses human scale and compatibility with intent to create a community
composed of neighborhoods designed for the human scale and compatibility in which the
streets and buildings are properly sized within their context, services and amenities are
convenient, visually pleasing, and properly integrated.
Objective C-1.2: - Update design objectives to include guidelines for urban spaces and more
dense development.
The proposed code amendment furthers this objective by implementing and codifying
existing design guidelines found in the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District and the
Bozeman Design Objectives Plan. These plans have mutually supportive objectives of
creating livable communities which create functional neighborhoods with greater
connectivity, access to amenities, and raise design considerations that foster healthy
communities. These design considerations are becoming a part of the base zoning code
(Form Based Codes) reducing the perceived complexity of the City’s development code and
making the City’s desired outcome to be more transparent. The required design components
emphasize human scale and compatibility.
Objective C-1.4: Achieve an environment through urban design that maintains and enhances
the City’s visual qualities within neighborhood, community and regional commercial areas.
Design standards for the Midtown District are integrated into the base zoning code (Form
Based Codes). Articulation of buildings, placement of parking lots, landscaping provisions,
building setbacks and other considerations are clearly stated in each zone. The intent has
been to maintain and further the existing character of the corridor and focus on its strengths.
Specific design considerations are included in this new code section to promote transparency,
functionality, human scale, and design consideration that considers the context of the
environment.
318
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 8 of 18
Goal LU-1: Create a sense of place that varies throughout the City, efficiently provides
public and private basic services and facilities in close proximity to where people live and
work, and minimizes sprawl.
The N 7th corridor is a prime location for infill development to reduce demand on the
transportation network by creating housing and employment in the center of the city. There
is existing residential development and commercial activities nearby. Augmenting the
existing development with infill will improve the efficiency of public services and reduce
outward expansion of City.
Objective LU-1.4: Provide for and support infill development and redevelopment which
provides additional density of use while respecting the context of the existing development
which surrounds it. Respect for context does not automatically prohibit difference in scale or
design.
The proposed code amendment supports this criterion in multiple ways and furthers the
desired outcome of the adopted plans while respecting the context of the existing
development. The text proposes reducing required setbacks, increases building heights and
allows for greater flexibility for uses within the Midtown districts. In addition by integrating
many of the provisions found in supporting planning documents the intent of the Bozeman
Design Objectives Plan is codified into the base zoning code. These with other code
provisions will support greater investment in the area for multiple housing types and
commercial opportunities in the center of the City.
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers.
Yes. The proposed amendments do not change the breadth of tools available to the City in
identifying and mitigating risk from land use and development.
C. Promote public health, public safety, and general welfare.
Yes. The proposed amendments do not change the requirements for provision of water or
sewer systems, provision of emergency response capability, or similar existing standards.
The proposed dimensional standards appear to be industry standard and utilized by numerous
other municipalities with similar weather related challenges.
Rationale: A community needs a variety of housing stock to accommodate the diversity in
personal circumstances and preferences of its population. The type of housing required may
be different throughout a person’s life. A healthy community has a wide range of citizens
with differing age, education, economic condition, and other factors. Stable neighborhoods
encourage reinvestment, both financial and emotional that strengthens and builds the
community.
The regulatory provisions established through the City’s municipal code under Chapter 38,
Unified Development Code (UDC), BMC, will adequately address the issues of health and
general welfare. Further development of any particular property may also require review and
319
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 9 of 18
approval by the City Engineer's Office, Director of Public Works, Development Review
Committee, and when appropriate the Design Review Board.
D. Facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks
and other public requirements.
Neutral. The proposed text amendment will affect publicly required transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks and other systems if and when development occurs. However, the
City anticipates and expects its infrastructure to be utilized to insure efficient use of these
systems. Currently there are large swaths of undeveloped and underdeveloped lands with the
affected area of the text and zone map amendment area. Encouraging infill development in
the Midtown area will result in greater efficiencies of the existing, sewer, water, schools and
other public requirements. Established procedures will provide for mitigation of impacts as
they occur.
E. Reasonable provision of adequate light and air.
Neutral. This area of the City is anticipating much greater development. As such, some of
the existing open spaces and views may be compromised with development. However, these
provisions are a direct result of and further adopted plans. Additionally, the regulatory
provisions established through the City’s municipal code under Chapter 38, Unified
Development Code (UDC), BMC, will adequately address the issues of health and general
welfare. Further development of any particular property may also require review and
approval by the Montana Department of Health and Environmental Quality, City Engineer's
Office, Director of Public Works, Development Review Committee, and Design Review
Board.
F. The effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems.
Yes. Development that follows the proposed text amendments will create vehicular
efficiencies by increasing residential and commercial opportunities in close proximity and
will create more diverse multi-modal transportation systems with development. The affected
area is near commercial, employment opportunities, and residential development. These
amendments will allow greater density residential and commercial development which create
an environment for efficient use the transportation system and make non-motorized
transportation systems more viable.
G. Promotion of compatible urban growth.
Yes. The proposed text and map amendments will promote compatible urban growth. An
ongoing public discussion that resulted in the 2006 Design and Connectivity Plan for North
7th Avenue Corridor, the Midtown Urban Renewal District goals, and through the process
that created the proposed text insures desired urban growth will result. See finding A above
for more discussion.
H. Character of the district.
320
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 10 of 18
Yes. These amendments create two new zoning districts tailored to the Midtown area and its
character. In addition, the modification to the entryway corridor is expressly focused on
continuing and evolving the character of the district. The existing character is eclectic and
has largely been auto centric. The block frontage concept that is integral to the text
amendments are designed to allow for a variety of development characters while insuring the
overall goals of the growth policy are achieved. The Community Framework map (see
Figure 38.44.010.C) is the implementing document that prescribes how buildings relate to the
street. This map is created by assessing the existing neighborhoods and identifying which
block frontage is most appropriate. A transition to a less auto centric character will occur
over time.
The amendments will apply to any property zoned R-5 or B-2M. The concurrent zone map
amendment details where these amendments will apply. Any future properties that wish to
adopt these zoning districts must go through the zone map amendment process and establish
the framework map specific for the area to be re-zoned R-5 or B-2M.
I. Peculiar suitability for particular uses.
Neutral. The proposed amendments do not make material changes to land uses. Existing
zoning is comprised of R-3, R-4, and B-2. The permitted uses for these districts are listed
under Section 38.08.020 and 38.10.020 respectively. Both the R-5 and B-2M are more
permissive in permitted uses. However, no new types of uses are being proposed, rather
more allowances that already are permitted will be allowed in each district. Permitted uses
for the proposed text amendment are listed in Table 38.08.020 and 38.10.020 respectively.
J. Conserving the value of buildings.
Neutral. One of the primary goals of this text and zone map amendments is to revitalize and
invigorate investment in the district. A number of the existing properties have seen little or
no improvement and, in some cases, have eroded in value. The proposed amendments
integrate the existing design requirements associated with the Entryway Corridor and the
NCOD into the base code. The result will be clear and concise design requirements for any
repurposed and new building. Requiring a modicum of design standards for all construction
will conserve and improve the value of buildings in and around the district.
K. Encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area.
Yes. The proposed amendments do not make material changes to land uses. The community
has expressed a strong desire to require greater density and more diverse uses. The proposed
text creates the regulatory framework to achieve that goal by increasing building heights,
nudging minimum densities higher, and allowing mixed use buildings.

PROVISIONS
The R-5 and B-2M are new zoning districts. Please see the attached Proposed Midtown Zoning
Text ordinance for complete text amendments.
Revisions to Section 38.17, Entryway Corridors.
PROPOSED TABLE AND TEXT
Article 17 (Entryway Corridors)
Sec. 38. 17.020. - Intent and purpose.
A. There are several arterial corridors entering the city that introduce visitors and residents alike
to the city. The visual attributes of these roadways provide a lasting impression of the
character of the city. It is the intent and purpose of this article to ensure that the quality of
development along these corridors will enhance the impression and enjoyment of the community by guiding development and change, and by stimulating and assisting, in
conjunction with other provisions of this chapter, improvements in signage, landscaping,
access and other contributing elements of entry corridor appearance and function.
B. It is the intent of this article 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 review authority.
Article 17 (Entryway Corridors)
Sec. 38.17.030. - Application of entryway corridor provisions.
322
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 12 of 18

and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 13 of 18
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
The properties fall within the Regional Commercial and Services, Community Commercial
Mixed Use, and Residential designations in the Bozeman Community Plan.
Regional Commercial and Services designation indicates that “Bozeman is a retail,
education, health services, public administration, and tourism hub and provides opportunities
for these activities for a multi-county region. Often the scale of these services is larger than
would be required for Bozeman alone. Because of the draw from outside Bozeman, it is
necessary that these types of facilities be located in proximity to significant transportation
routes. Since these are large and prominent facilities within the community and region, it is
appropriate that design guidelines be established to ensure compatibility with the remainder
of the community. Opportunity for a mix of uses which encourages a robust and broad
activity level is to be provided. Residential space should not be a primary use and should
only be included as an accessory use above the first floor. Any development within this
category should have a well integrated transportation and open space network which
encourages pedestrian activity, and provides ready access within and to adjacent
development.”
Community Commercial Mixed Use designation indicates that “Activities within this land
use category are the basic employment and services necessary for a vibrant community.
Establishments located within these categories draw from the community as a whole for their
employee and customer base and are sized accordingly. A broad range of functions including
retail, education, professional and personal services, offices, residences, and general service
activities typify this designation.
In the “center-based” land use pattern, Community Commercial Mixed Use areas are
integrated with significant transportation corridors, including transit and non-automotive
routes, to facilitate efficient travel opportunities. The density of development is expected to
be higher than currently seen in most commercial areas in Bozeman and should include
multi-story buildings. A Floor Area Ratio in excess of .5 is desired. It is desirable to allow
residences on upper floors, in appropriate circumstances. Urban streetscapes, plazas, outdoor
seating, public art, and hardscaped open space and park amenities are anticipated,
appropriately designed for an urban character. Placed in proximity to significant streets and
intersections, an equal emphasis on vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit circulation shall
be provided. High density residential areas are expected in close proximity. Including
residential units on sites within this category, typically on upper floors, will facilitate the
324
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 14 of 18
provision of services and opportunities to persons without requiring the use of an
automobile.”
Finally, the Residential designation indicates that “This category designates places where the
primary activity is urban density dwellings. Other uses which complement residences are
also acceptable such as parks, low intensity home based occupations, fire stations, churches,
and schools. High density residential areas should be established in close proximity to
commercial centers to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities to
persons without requiring the use of an automobile. Implementation of this category by
residential zoning should provide for and coordinate intensive residential uses in proximity to
commercial centers. The residential designation indicates that it is expected that development
will occur within municipal boundaries, which may require annexation prior to
development.”
The dwelling unit density expected within this classification varies between 6 and 32 dwellings
per net acre.
C.8 ZONING CORRELATION WITH LAND USE CATEGORIES
“… Some zoning districts may apply to multiple land use categories. In this case not all uses
may be available as any site development must comply with both the zoning and the
underlying land use category.
The Residential Emphasis Mixed Use land use category does not have a directly
corresponding zoning district which would allow the full expression of the range of land uses
contemplated as of the writing of this plan. Table C-16 suggests the creation of a new zoning
district to fill this need.
The City expects to review and revise its zoning regulations after the adoption of the
Bozeman Community Plan. In the process of this review zoning district titles may change,
districts may be consolidated, or other changes be made. Table C-16 is a correlation with
districts as they exist today.
The principal and conditional uses, setbacks, and other details of each zoning district are
contained in Title 18, Unified Development Ordinance, Bozeman Municipal Code. This title
also contains development review requirements and procedures, definitions of uses, site
development standards, and requirements for subdivision of property.
325
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 15 of 18
The proposed R-5 and B-2M are aligned and complimentary with the existing uses found in Table C-16. As noted above the City expects to review and revise its zoning regulations after
the adoption of the Bozeman Community Plan. In the process of this review zoning district
titles may change, districts may be consolidated, or other changes be made.
APPENDIX B – DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND
BACKGROUND
Project Description
The purpose of this project is to review and update as needed the Unified Development Code
(UDC) for the City of Bozeman in two related steps. With the adoption of the City’s
Community Plan in 2009, the existence of numerous adopted neighborhood and special area
plans, and rapid growth (infill and edge), the City recognizes the need to update its land
development regulations and standards. Bozeman initially adopted zoning in 1934.
326
15-320, Staff Report for the Midtown Text Amendment, Entryway Corridor Modifications,
and the Midtown Zone Map Amendment Page 16 of 18
Bozeman’s current UDC structure which includes zoning, subdivision, and infrastructure
standards was established in 2004. Many older elements and standards were carried forward
in 2004. The present text therefore does not always reflect current best practices for zoning,
planning and infrastructure practices. Incremental modifications and updates are ongoing
resulting in a less efficient code to administer, unnecessary complexity, leading to
questionable effectiveness in implementing the land use and design recommendations in
Bozeman’s adopted plans. Large areas of Bozeman’s older neighborhoods are
nonconforming. This has led to frequent variance requests and incremental amendments to
the UDC. The older areas of town have experienced substantial reinvestment in the past 20
years and there is a growing interest in increased development in the historic core of the
community. The additional intensity of use has created conflicts between new and existing
users
The City seeks to revise the development code in a two-step process. Phase one is focused
on the North Seventh Avenue corridor and urban renewal/tax increment district (TIF). The
purpose is to implement the North 7th Design and Connectivity Plan and the 2015 Urban
Renewal Plan (Ordinance 1925). As the TIF matures, broader design guidelines are needed
in order to address the goal of district revitalization. The key to altering the suburban
development patterns of the area that seem to be devaluing property – large, barren and
numerous parking lots, wasted space, and outdated site design – is to create a design plan that
can guide the Board and the Commission in the allocation of limited funds to create the
greatest impact to revitalize the district. Developing a vision and plan for the district will
assist property owners in seeing the unrealized value in their property. Retrofitting is
incremental and adaptive, but needs to be guided by an overall vision for the district.
A new design plan with implementing zone district will help the NSURB to create
implementing policies for funding infrastructure, façade and site improvements that
maximize market forces to encourage diversification and redevelopment. Recommendations
to address key design challenges to altering the suburban development pattern to create
internal and external integration of the parts over time and over multiple parcels is a critical
policy that is needed to move the district to the next stage. Innovative ideas to address
zoning and subdivision regulations to overcome the existing fragmentation are needed. It is
anticipated that this will be a mixed use corridor rehabilitation oriented district.

intent of the standards, plus the following criteria:
(1) RETAIL SPACE DEPTH: Reduced depths will be considered where the applicant can successfully demonstrate the proposed alternative design and
configuration of the space is viable for a variety of permitted retail uses;
(2) MINIMUM SETBACK: For residential uses, provide design treatments that
create an effective transition between the public and private realm. This could
include a stoop design or other similar treatments that utilize a low fence, retaining wall, and/or hedge along the sidewalk.

(3) FAÇADE TRANSPARENCY: The proposed alternative design treatment of façade area between ground level windows provides visual interest to the
pedestrian and mitigates impacts of any blank wall areas. No less than 40 percent
of the façade between 30 inches and ten feet above the sidewalk may be approved
with a departure;
(4) WEATHER PROTECTION: Other proposed alternative design treatments must provide equivalent weather protection benefits; and
(5) PARKING LOCATION: There must be an acceptable tradeoff in terms of the
amount and quality of storefront area that is integrated with the development and
the applicable parking location departure. Plus, the alternative must include
design features to successfully mitigate the visual impact of additional parking areas along designated storefront streets.
3. Landscaped block frontage.
a. Description/intent. The landscaped block frontage designation emphasizes landscaped
frontages and clear pedestrian connections between buildings and the sidewalk. This designation applies to all new and existing streets in applicable residential districts plus includes residential based streets and other streets in commercial/ mixed-use
zoned areas where special landscaped frontages are desired.
b. Vision. Figure 38.44.010.E.3 provides a depiction of relationship between the street,
sidewalk and storefront for a property designated for a landscaped block frontage.

Element Standards Examples & Notes
Building
entrances
Building entrances shall be visible and directly accessible
from the street.
For uses that front on multiple
mixed designated block
frontages, an entry along both streets is encouraged, but not
required.
Façade transparency
For buildings designed with ground level non-residential
uses, at least 25% of the
ground floor between 4’-8’
above the sidewalk.
For residential uses, at least 15% of the entire façade (all
vertical surfaces generally
facing the street).
Windows shall be provided on all habitable floors of the façade.
Façade transparency - residential building example.
Weather
protection
Provide weather protection at least 3’ deep over primary
business and residential
entries.
Parking & driveways
Also see article 25 of this chapter for related parking
requirements
Parking shall be placed to the
side, rear, below or above
uses. For multi-building
developments, surface and structured parking areas (ground floor) are limited to
no more than 50% of the
street frontage.
Private or shared garage entries shall occupy no more than 50% of façade width.
Provide a 10’ minimum buffer
of landscaping between the
368

Page 35 of 42
Element Standards Examples & Notes
street and off street parking areas meeting the
performance standards of
article 26 of this chapter.
New parking structures shall
feature landscaped setbacks at
least 10’ in width.
Landscaping
Also see article 26
of this chapter for
related
landscaping standards
The area between the street and building shall be landscaped and/or private
porch or patio space.
For setbacks adjacent to
buildings with windows, provide low level landscaping that maintains views between
the building and the street.
Also provide plant materials
that screen any blank walls and add visual interest at both the pedestrian scale and
motorist scale. For extended
wall areas, provide for a
diversity of plant materials and textures to maintain visual interest from a
pedestrian scale.
Example of low level
landscaping that screens
foundation walls, provides visual interest, and maintains views from dwelling units to the street.
Sidewalk width 6’ minimum sidewalks are
required adjacent to arterial
streets and public parks and
5’ minimum width in other
areas, except the review authority may require wider
sidewalks in special areas
where called for in adopted
plans or where significant
pedestrian traffic is
anticipated.
d. Departure criteria. Departures to the above standards that feature the symbol will be considered by the review authority provided the alternative proposal meets the
intent of the standards, plus the following criteria:
369
Ordinance No. 1942, Creation of R-5, B-2M, and Article 44 Block Frontages
Page 36 of 42
(1) RETAIL SPACE DEPTH: Reduced depths will be considered where the
applicant can successfully demonstrate the proposed alternative design and configuration of the space is viable for a variety of permitted retail uses;
(2) BUILDING DEPTH. Block frontages with steep slopes and/or those facing busy
arterial streets and very limited pedestrian traffic mat warrant some flexibility to
this standard (particularly in residential districts).
(2) FAÇADE TRANSPARENCY: The proposed alternative design treatment of façade area between ground level windows provides visual interest to the
pedestrian and mitigates impacts of any blank wall areas. No less than 40 percent
of the façade between 30 inches and ten feet above the sidewalk may be approved
with a departure;
(4) PARKING LOCATION: There must be an acceptable tradeoff in terms of the amount and quality of storefront area that is integrated with the development and the applicable parking location departure. Plus, the alternative must include
design features to successfully mitigate the visual impact of additional parking
areas along designated storefront streets.
4. Other block frontages.
a. Description/intent. All other block frontages in districts that are not designated in
Community Design Framework Maps are provided greater flexibility with regards to
the design of development frontages. These block frontages includes a combination of side streets (where most uses often front on other adjacent streets), service oriented
streets (often characterized by industrial or service types of uses), and heavy arterial
streets. While there is greater flexibility in the amount of transparency of facades and
the location of surface and structured parking, design parameters are included to
ensure that development frontages along these streets provide visual interest at all observable scales and meet the design objectives of the city.

The area between the street and
building shall be landscaped and/or private porch or patio
space.
For setbacks adjacent to
buildings with windows, provide low level landscaping that maintains views between the
building and the street.
Also provide plant materials that
screen any blank walls and add visual interest at both the pedestrian scale and motorist
scale. For extended wall areas,
provide for a diversity of plant

standards above. Otherwise, 6’
minimum sidewalks are required
adjacent to arterial streets and public parks and 5’ minimum
width in other areas, except the
review authority may require
wider sidewalks in special areas
where called for in adopted plans or where significant pedestrian
traffic is anticipated.
d. Departure criteria. Departures to the above standards that feature the symbol will be considered by the review authority provided the alternative proposal meets the
intent of the standards, plus the following criteria:
(1) MINIMUM SETBACK. Provide design treatments that create an effective
transition between the public and private realm. This could include a stoop design to other similar treatments that utilize a low fence, retaining wall, and/or hedge alone the sidewalk.
372
Ordinance No. 1942, Creation of R-5, B-2M, and Article 44 Block Frontages
Page 39 of 42
(2) FAÇADE TRANSPARENCY. The design treatment of a façade and/or
landscape element provides visual interest to the pedestrian and mitigates impacts of any blank wall area.
5. Where a property fronts onto multiple streets/frontage designations.
Where a property fronts onto more than one street and each street has a different frontage
designation, each building frontage must comply with the standards for the block
frontage upon which it fronts, with the following clarifications:
a. Where a conflict exists between frontage standards, the review authority will apply the standards of a block frontage pursuant to the following order of preference::
i. Storefront;
ii. Mixed;
iii. Landscaped; then
iv. Other.
Items b-e below clarify how the order of preference works for particular frontage elements.
b. Building Location: For corner sites with landscaped block frontage on one street and
storefront or mixed on another, a storefront frontage may wrap around the corner (on
the landscaped block frontage side) for up to a half block width or no more than 120 feet (whichever is more).
c. Entrances: For corner sites, entrances on both streets are encouraged, but only one
entrance is required. For corner sites with frontage on a storefront block frontage on
one side, an entrance shall be placed on the storefront block frontage side. For corner
sites with a mix of designations that do not include a storefront block frontage, the entry shall be placed on the order of preference identified above. Departures may be considered provided the location and design of the entry and block frontage
treatments are compatible with the character of the area and enhance the character of
the street.
d. Transparency: For corner sites – at least one block frontage must meet the applicable transparency standards (based on the order of preference above. For the second block frontage, the review authority may approve a reduction in the minimum amount of
transparency by 50 percent. For street corners with the same designations on both
frontages, buildings must employ the full transparency on the dominant frontage
(based on the frontage width or established neighborhood pattern).
e. Parking: Surface parking (including ground floor parking in a structure) adjacent to a
street corner is not allowed, except:
i. Corner lots with non-designated frontages (other) on both streets;
ii. Other combination of block frontages, except those with a storefront designation,
via a departure and subject to the applicable departure criteria.
