CODE LANGUAGE

This district encourages high volume, pedestrian-oriented uses for the ground floor in the Core Area of the city's Downtown District, i.e., along Main Street from Grand to Rouse and to the alleys one-half block north and south from Main Street. Businesses accessed solely from an alley are permitted lower volume pedestrian uses below.

This district encourages high volume, pedestrian-oriented uses in ground floor space in the "core area" of the city's central business district, i.e., along Main Street from Grand to Rouse and to the alleys one-half block north and south from Main Street.

Lower volume pedestrian uses such as offices, apartment buildings and artesian/light manufacturing may locate on ground floor space in the downtown B-3 area outside the above-defined Core Area or when accessed solely from an alley. 2

Table 38.310.040.B, Footnote 3

Lower volume pedestrian uses such as professional offices may locate on ground floor space in the downtown B-3 area outside the above-defined core.

Allow more flexibility for offices and daycares Downtown.

[Edit footnote 3 for offices]

[Daycare and offices are both currently subject to Footnote 3 which states]

The Storefront designation is intended to relate to form and not use. For example, as written, the code does not permit offices on the ground floor along parts of Mendenhall that are designated storefront. This is not desirable for Downtown.

3. Only lobbies and stairs for the applicable use are allowed in the Core Area.

3. Only lobbies for the applicable use are allowed on designated Storefront block frontages as set forth in section 38.510.020.

Principles: More than Main Street For Everyone

-and[Eliminate this footnote entirely for Daycare Centers as they are vibrant services.]

Note: as Bozeman continues to update the UDC, it is recommended that the extensive list of uses for the whole city be simplified.
