School District Proposed Agency Exemption(s) and School District rationale (Montana Code Annotated 76-2-402):
18192 and 18265Application(s):
Sec. 38.510.030/ C and 38.510.030/ G Block Frontage Designations - The block frontage designation for this site are “other” and “mixed”.
The mixed block frontage requires no more than 50% of site frontage shall be parking of which is in conflict with the 100% of the existing
street frontage as an existing 15 the street parking lot that will be used for the parking count calculations and traffic/ safety vehicle functions
out of the stadium onto 15 the street. These block frontages also require building placement to be at the sidewalk edge which is also in
conflict with the placement of the existing parking lot. The stadium buildings, at 245’ away from the street will also not comply with the
requirement for façade transparency and instead will be screened properly per plank wall treatment requirements.
Sec. 38.540.060.B.1 Joint Use of Parking Facilities - This section requires that parking facilities provided by another building or use must
be located within 1,000 feet of the entrance to the building or use which the application being made. Parking for all uses and facilities within
the Existing Bozeman High School campus is provided on-site or on-street adjacent to school property, however, due to the size of the
campus, some of these parking facilities are great than 1,000 feet away from entrances to buildings on campus. This exemption is applied
only to walking distance between facilities and parking areas, total spaces required for all uses within the joint use analysis are provided on
or immediately adjacent to school property and no required parking for any one facility or use is further than 1,600 feet from an entrance.
Master Site Plan and Agency Exemption Hearing
Sec. 38.550.050 Additional Screening Requirements - This requirement creates screening that we feel like would decrease visibility on
the property. The intent is to provide a higher level of safety for students. In addition, because the location of the new parking lot is in the
middle of campus, there will be very limited visibility of the lot from the surrounding city streets.
Sec. 38.550.050 Parking Lot Landscaping - Requires that parking lots with more than 15 spaces shall have a minimum of 20sf of
landscape area within the parking lot for each off-street parking space in a lot. It remains the Bozeman School District’s policy to provide
uninterrupted paved areas within all school parking lots. The intent is to provide better visual access and a higher level of safety for the
students within the parking lots. In addition, because the location of the new parking lot is in the middle of campus, there will be very limited
visibility of the lot from the surrounding city streets.
Sec. 38.520.050/ D. Vehicular Circulation and Parking - Requires that street trees and sidewalks be provided per standard roadway
design for internal roadways as well as city streets. Due to existing site features such as site fences and drainage
conveyance, street trees and sidewalks cannot easily be installed to city standards. Pedestrian circulation and landscaping are still
implemented in the design including existing trees and new trees planted along the roadway to the south and north of Ruth Thibeault Way,
but will not specifically adhere to city design standards.
