The Bozeman Community Development Board (CDB) met on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The meeting was held in-person and via video conference. The board considered two unified development code (UDC) housekeeping amendments regarding short-term rentals (STRs) in the RA district and parking standards in the B-3 district, heard an update on the city's engagement framework, and decided to cancel the July 6, 2026 meeting.
2026 Unified Development Code Housekeeping Amendments (Application 26307): Staff presented two amendments.
Engagement Framework Update: Takami Clark, the city's Communications and Engagement Manager, presented an update on the Engage Bozeman Framework, which is being revised to align with Montana Land Use Planning Act (MLUPA) requirements and to improve public participation processes. The board offered suggestions: summarize and respond to public comments, use cross-tabulations to contextualize input (e.g., by age or tenure), leverage new technology to objectively summarize comment themes, and consider different engagement levels based on project phase. The updated draft will be posted online in July for public review, with adoption anticipated in August.
Upcoming Items and July 6 Meeting Cancellation: The board voted to cancel the July 6, 2026 meeting due to lack of agenda items and proximity to the July 4th holiday. Staff noted that the UDC will be published in searchable format in August, and that the Gucci Plan (renamed to avoid confusion) has begun public outreach.
Like, here you go. Chris, uh, um I realized that's checking the public problems. Um, I think it's true that I think that would have to be anything else, it's not under this one, but it's like I don't know. Um, I just know that I think that would like to just put this on this. However, it's just like a few people, I think. Oh, and then uh, it's like uh it was delayed, but not sufficient to make me miss this. All right. Yeah, it's good. You know, I need to have this one. So, I think it was just so fast. Uh sorry, I don't think we don't know. Do you want to put some of that? I think uh, it's starting. I think it's not a way. I was thinking about it. Let's just hold it for considerable. Is it like on the way to it now? It's a five minutes later. It takes a while to read this stuff. It does. Um, you should be that seven total. So that's been a Chris isn't sure. No, it's been quite bad, yeah. Yes. But it just said, like, why did I put the thought? So I don't want to be like, and then that's good as a little bit of a second. She has she can put it on top. Or she doesn't want to. She went on too. So we can see the interesting one. She wants to sign off. We'll do it. So we need to go to the hospital right now.
