Additional surface parking is also proposed in the adjacent lot to the southwest with access, landscaping, striping and other improvements. The project site is zoned B-3, Downtown District. Project Location: Southwest of the corner of W. Beall St. and N. Willson Ave. and is legally described as Tracy’s 3rd Add, S07, T02 S, R06 E, Block B, Lot A, Plat J-198 Recommendation: Staff has found that the application does not comply with the requirements of Chapter 38 of the Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC) and is deeming the application inadequate for further review. Section 2 – Draft Conditions of Approval Please note that these conditions are in addition to any required code provisions identified in this report. The following conditions are specific to the development: 1. The applicant is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions that are not specifically listed as conditions of approval, does not, in any way, create a waiver or other relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or state law. 2. The amended plat aggregating the two underlying lots must be approved and recorded prior to final site plan approval. This request has been made formally through a submission from Stahly Engineering & Associates. 3. The master site plan must be approved prior to final site plan approval. Acknowledged. 4. The non-conforming projecting sign present on the One 11 1.0 building will need to be removed prior to occupancy. This determination is under consideration by the Community Development Director based on an alternate code interpretation. 5. Approval of the cash-in-lieu of parkland request and payment is required prior to final site plan approval. Acknowledged. This amount has been confirmed with Addi Jadin via email. Section 3 – Required Code Corrections PLANNING COMMENTS: 1. Process – a. Provide an application fee payment for the 2 departures requested from Section 38.510.030. No payment is shown in our receipt system. This fee has been paid in full. b. Design Review Board (DRB) review is required. This meeting will be scheduled once the project reaches adequacy and public notice can be scheduled. Acknowledged. The applicant has formally responded to the DRB comments in an additional attachment. 2. Mixed - Landscaped Block Frontage Standards W. Beall St. – BMC 38.510.030.D. a. Building Placement on Beall – Staff supports the departure from the 10-foot setback following the Special Residential transition elements detailed in 38.510.030.J.1 – Raised deck or porch option. Acknowledged. b. Façade Transparency – Residential buildings at least 15% of the entire façade facing the street. Revise the transparency calculations provided on the elevation sheets to reflect the 15% standard for residential buildings for the Mixed-Landscaped portion of the façade. This is not reflected on the elevation sheets. Calculations have been revised and elevations have been updated. 3. Mixed - Landscaped Block Frontage Standards N. Grand & W. Lamme – BMC 38.510.030.D. a. Staff agrees with the applicant on the parking location requirement due to BMC 38.510.020 which establishes a hierarchy for multiple frontage situations and allows a primary frontage to be chosen based on this hierarchy. However, the standard does not permit the applicant to count the frontage percentage as 21% using all frontages. Revise the application removing this statement to provide a clear submittal for staff, board members, and the public. The application materials have been updated to show these frontage percentages appropriately. b. A departure has been requested from the 10-foot required landscaping buffer to screen parking lots. Staff supports this departure for the reasons stated provided the mature width and height of plantings meet the landscaping section BMC 38.550.050. See comment below. Acknowledged. 4. Blank Wall Treatments – Untreated blank walls visible from a public street, pedestrian-oriented space, common usable open space, or pedestrian pathway are prohibited. Show blank wall treatments described in the narrative on the existing and proposed building on the elevations and in a detail. Blank walls are present on the west and south elevations. The following is additional direction from Danielle Garber via email on 7/13/21: I discussed the blank wall issues with senior staff. It was decided that blank walls on the existing 1.0 building do not need to be mitigated, due to the addition of the surface parking lot, regardless of where the lot lines end up. Any blank walls on the south elevation of the new 2.0 building are required to be addressed with the next submittal. That said, the south and west elevation walls have been addressed to treat the blank walls in these areas. 5. Mandatory Landscaping – BMC 38.550.050.C. The parking lot screening required in this section must be continues and not less than 4-feet in width, and 6-feet in height where not in a vision triangle. The shrubs proposed both have a max height of 1.5-2 feet and do not meet the requirements of this section. The proposed shrubs will be 4’-6’ tall and wide at maturity. The max height of 1.502.0 feet noted in the previous drawings was a typological error. 6. Mandatory Landscaping – BMC 38.550.050.E. The landscaping plan shows the boulevard trees being removed in the boulevard planting strip along Lamme, but the demo plan does not. Clarify if these trees are to be retained or removed. At least one street tree is required on this frontage. The boulevard trees on Lamme St are to be preserved. ENGINEERING COMMENTS, Karl Johnson, kajohnson@bozeman.net: 1.
