The Bozeman City Commission held its March 10, 2026 meeting to address several key items including approval of a community engagement plan for the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) design guidelines update. The commission heard presentations from Deputy Director Rebecca Harbage and consulting firm the Lakota Group about their comprehensive public engagement strategy, which includes neighborhood focus groups, online surveys, walking tours, and pop-up events designed to reach diverse community members including renters and younger residents. During public comment, residents raised concerns about the December 2025 decision allowing 90-foot buildings in B3 zoning districts, with one speaker requesting the commission overturn that decision by May 31, 2026, while another presented survey results showing 83% community support for a one-year development pause. The commission also heard remarks about playground accessibility at schools and tree removal practices related to migratory bird protection.
