SITE IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed site is zoned with a zero lot line development standard at all sides of the property except for the south side where there is a mandatory 5’-0” setback at the alley. In order for the project to host the required amount of on-site parking the project would require a departure from the 5’-0” setback to all a zero lot line. The design is utilizing a storefront block frontage at both 5th Ave and W Main St. The footprint of the building will step back at all entrances to facilitate a more intimate entrance into the building off both streets while commanding the corner as a gateway project to Downtown Bozeman.
The ground floor will be heavily glazed highlighting the active amenity and retail spaces on the ground level continuing the urban front west down Main Street. The project will also feature a second level roof deck overlooking main street atmospherically connecting the resident “yard” with the active downtown street front for a highly dynamic building front. The primary entrance for the public will be through the common lobby and vestibule at the center of the site off West Main Street, while the residents can enter the building from the parking garage or the entrances off the alley.
Building utility services are provided at the south facade, but located deeper into the alley to minimize the impact these facilities could have on the aesthetics of the street frontage. Purposeful relief at the building facade tucks these services away from pedestrian view points at the sidewalk. Utilities in the building will utilize existing lines requiring the project to upsize sewer and tie into the main street line. The project will also require the relocation of a power pole on the north side of the site to the north side of the alley or transition the line underground.
The proposed plan is designed with 121 residential units and 1,734 square feet of leaseable space for office or retail use. According to the City of Bozeman regulations, only one parking space is required to be provided per dwelling unit. Utilizing the first 3,000 sqaure foot of commercial space reduction, no additional spaces will be provided as a condition of developing a mixed-use building downtown. Therefore, the building design accommodates 121 parking spaces plus 7 additional spaces in the proposed surface parking garage. Based on those calculations, no off site parking will be necessary. See the project matrix for the proposed building design for more
information on the provided parking at the site. Per CONR engineering comment #18, the ITE peak hour trip generation values for the proposed development are provided below. This project is actually expected to reduce peak hour trips at the site as the ITE rates for a new 121 unit residential building w/ 1,800 s.f. of undesignated retail space are less than the trips for the existing Bamboo Garden, Genuine Ice Cream Co., and 2-story office building that are there currently. This estimate assumes a business like the Genuine Ice Cream Co. might move into the new ground-level retail space.
