HPAB approves amended minutes, receives FYI on SHPO certification and Lakota outreach
Summary
The Historic Preservation Advisory Board approved February minutes with an amendment about interim‑zoning discussion, was briefed that the city remains a certified local government (SHPO) with a small grant, and was given details of Lakota Group’s upcoming engagement week and walking tours in mid‑April.
The Historic Preservation Advisory Board voted to approve its February minutes as amended to note that, during the FYI portion of last month’s meeting, a request was made to discuss an interim zoning ordinance at a future meeting. The amendment and the amended minutes passed with recorded ayes and one abstention.
Board members then moved into the meeting’s primary action item (a presentation on a proposed local landmark program). Later in the meeting staff reported that Bozeman will remain a certified local government under the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and that the annual SHPO grant is about $6,000, which supports historic‑preservation staffing and modest program work.
Staff also previewed the Lakota Group’s upcoming in‑person engagement schedule tied to the NCOD design‑guidelines project: a community open house on April 13 (6 p.m.), a neighborhood focus group on April 14, walking tours the afternoons of April 14–15, and a recap to HPAB on the evening of April 15. Staff said they will circulate sign‑up sheets and notice which events may create a quorum and therefore require public notification.
Finally, several board members indicated they want a future agenda discussion of an interim zoning ordinance while the NCOD update continues; staff said they will add an item per the board’s agreement and confirm the required GRAMA/notice steps.
