A proposal to build a five-story, 111-unit building in midtown Bozeman that has spurred intense backlash and calls to review the city’s affordable housing policy is set to come before city commission at their Tuesday, July 9 meeting.

The Guthrie, proposed by Bozeman developers HomeBase Partners, is proposed for the corner of North 5th Avenue and Villard Street, and is the first development to use a portion of the affordable housing ordinance that allows for significant departures from city height and parking requirements, among others, in exchange for affordable units.

The development was set to go through administrative review, meaning it would not have come before commissioners for a formal vote. But after dozens of people petitioned the city commission this spring, they voted in April to “reclaim” their review authority of the development.
