Come Join Our Unified Development Code (UDC) Update Workshops!

Engagement on the Unified Development Code (UDC) Update project continues with four in-person workshops, two online workshops, a toolkit for residents to host their own chat about the UDC, and an online survey. The purpose of this next part of the engagement process is to deep dive into the key topics that were identified during part 1 of engagement. The dates, times, and topics each workshop will cover are below. 

• Transportation & Environment: Feb. 26: 6 to 8 p.m. at Gallatin County Fairgrounds, 901 N Black Ave.
• Growth, Housing, & Neighborhoods: March 3: 12 to 2 p.m. online with registration to attend at engage.bozeman.net/udc
• Housing & Neighborhoods: March 5: 6 to 8 p.m. at Chief Joseph Middle School, 4255 Kimberwicke St.
• Growth & Neighborhoods: March 10: 6 to 8 p.m. at Sacajawea Middle School, 3525 S 3rd Ave
• All topics (Transportation, Environment, Growth, Housing, Neighborhoods): March 12: 6 to 8 p.m. at Willson School, 404 W Main St

The online survey and the toolkit are available for all those who are unable to attend the in-person events. Sign up for updates on Engage Bozeman to be notified when the survey and toolkit launches. Workshop attendees will also have time to share input on topics outside of these towards the end of each event.

Once all input is collected, analyzed, and considered, the next steps will involve discussions with the City’s advisory boards and City Commission to determine the scope of potential revisions to the draft UDC. Following necessary time to write those revisions, city staff will release an updated draft for public review and comment. This will be followed by the formal hearing process, likely in the fall, for ultimate decision by the City Commission.
