NOTICE OF VARIANCE APPLICATION NO. 26-203
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Applicant Summit Ridge Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with a registered agent at 400 East Main Street, Suite 300, Bozeman, Montana, has filed an application for a variance from the minimum front-yard setback requirement of twenty (20) feet to zero (0) feet for Lot 14, Block 3, Aspen Grove Subdivision, located at 217 North Willson Avenue, to accommodate the construction of a three-story mixed-use structure containing ground-floor retail, two (2) residential units marketed as “workforce housing” at $3,200 per month, and a rooftop amenity deck with fire pits and string lighting.
The subject property abuts a single-family residence constructed circa 1922 currently occupied by a household of four (4) generations. The Applicant asserts that strict compliance with the setback requirement would “preclude the activation of the streetscape” and “undermine the vibrancy corridor vision” articulated in the 2024 Downtown Bozeman Placemaking Strategy.
A public hearing before the Board of Adjustment will be held on August 18, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers, 121 North Rouse Avenue. Written comments must be received by August 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The comment period closed August 4, 2026.
