MEMORANDUM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM: DANIELLE GARBER, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE
RE: GALLATIN PARK MIXED USE SITE PLAN, APPLICATION 21129
DATE: JULY 26, 2021
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Description: Four new office and warehouse buildings in Gallatin Park
Subdivision with accessory residential apartments. 13 second level residential units,
above 13 commercial units for manufacturing and office with associated parking,
open space, landscaping, and site improvements.
Project Location: 325 Gallatin Park Drive. Legally described as Gallatin Park Sub,
S36, T01 S, R05 E, Block 1, Lot 4A, Acres 1.061, Plat J-300-C Plus Open Space.
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 – 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. Provide CIL Parkland payment prior to final site plan approval.
Section 3 – Required Code Corrections
PLANNING COMMENTS:
1. Open Space – BMC 38.520.060.B.2.e. Shared open space must be separated
from ground level windows, streets, service areas and parking lots via
landscaping, fencing, and/or other acceptable treatments that enhance safety
and privacy for both the shared open space and dwelling units. AC units and
utility meters are present in the proposed open space. Provide separation
and exclude those areas from the open space area calculation. Partially
addressed, provide mature height for the proposed “Elijah Blue” fescue
proposed to screen the AC units, it does not appear to reach adequate
height and spread to adequately screen the units, grasses are typically
not utilized for this purpose.
2. Parking – BMC 38.540.020.
a. Clarify in the narrative and drawings how parking will be managed
with spaces parked directly in front of roll up doors. Partially
addressed, the signs to manage parking are helpful, however a
conflict is created. In order to utilize the reduction for residential
uses in mixed-use projects in BMC 38.540.020A.1.b(2) “the long
term availability of the non-residential parking spaces upon
which the use of this section was based must be ensured to the
residents of the project.” Limiting parking to certain tenants does
not allow for this type of availability and removes the ability to
utilize this reduction. Staff suggests providing an alternative
parking management structure.
