Landscaping Section 38.550 – The landscaping section of the UDC has been revised and adopted by the City Commission with ordinance #2029. The changes, including removing the performance points system and other changes, went into effect December 18, 2019. Demonstrate compliance with the formal submittal. Response: The Landscape plan adheres to updated UDC standards as well as the Cannery District PUD. The planting plan goes above and beyond Bozeman standards and fits with the existing Cannery District planting design in its abundance of perennial and ornamental grass landscaped beds. The adjacent parking lot has already been built and landscaped and does not require further planting. The plan adheres to landscaped block frontage standards and features a minimum of 10’ of landscaping between the street and building. All outdoor utility meters on the West side of the building have landscaping as screening. The landscape features both Native Seed and forb plantings as well as mowed lawn areas for the use of the adjacent Lone Mountain Gymnastics. 7. Lighting Section 38.570.040 – demonstrate compliance with this article with any exterior building mounted lighting. Response: A photometric lighting plan has been included in the document set (E9.1) demonstrating adequate lighting at each building entrance/exit. 8. Parking. Building uses must be in accordance with the parking demand identified with the PUD. Response: Building J was originally planned to be used for Office and Health and Exercise uses with a parking demand of 1 space per 250 square feet, and 1 space per 200 square feet, respectively. The current proposal is for only an office use. The building use area is essentially the same as planned, so the individual parking demand for Building J decreases from the planned 56 spaces to 46 spaces. However, the original Health and Exercise use does not have the same pattern of hourly demand as the office uses which predominate the Cannery District, so with the joint-use reduction Building J originally only needed 31 additional spaces within the shared common parking lot. The proposed office use of Building J requires 41 additional spaces with joint-use reductions, as shown on the PUD Overall Parking analysis (exhibit 10). The 41 additional parking spaces required for Building J can be accommodated by existing and proposed parking spaces at the Cannery District and conforms with the overall PUD parking plan. A summary of required and provided parking spaces for the Cannery District is provided in the Site Data Table on Sheet C1.0. 9. PUD Open Space. The PUD open space to the east of this site must fully be developed and landscaped with this site plan. Response: The primary function of the PUD open space adjacent to Building J is to provide both a plaza space for gathering, utilizing the picnic tables and as a functional space for the activities of Lone Mountain Gymnastics. The space will have the flexibility to be used for summer camps and gym activities for kids. The lawn space will be vital to the programming for LMG and will provide a shaded lawn space for numerous activities. The lawn also features a gravel path, bench and dog waste station for passerby with dogs as well as workers in the Cannery District who bring dogs to work. ENGINEERING COMMENTS 1.
