Planning and Zoning Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Planning and Zoning Administrator to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of all citizens and neighborhoods of the City of Bowman through the professional administration and equitable enforcement of the City of Bowman’s zoning code and ordinances.  Similarly, it is also the Commission and Administrator’s mission to simultaneously maintain an atmosphere for business and industry to thrive by assisting developers and businesses in achieving compliance with the laws and policies adopted by the Bowman Planning and Zoning Commission, City Commission and those of the state and federal legislatures.

 

March 22, 2017

At the March 21, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission held a public hearing on the review of the final amendments to the “Land Development Code” (or more popularly known as “Chapter 6 Zoning Ordinances”).  After due consideration of the updates brought forward to the City Commission by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the final draft was unanimously approved 5-0.  The new amendments take effect immediately.  The updates include expansion of the definitions section, expansion of the uses allowed in each zoning district, the creation of new zoning districts, the inclusion of new design standards for development, and the refinement of the roles and responsibilities of city staff when implementing the Land Development Code.

 

Work will soon begin on the remainder of the chapters of the city’s municipal code.  Many of these chapters are out of date and need to be brought into compliance with newly passed legislation by the state of North Dakota.  The public is invited to attend all hearings related to this task.  If you have any questions, please call Bowman City Hall at 701-523-3309.

THE CITY OF BOWMAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

HELD ON MARCH 14, 2023 AT 5:00 PM

BOWMAN CITY HALL, 101 ST STREET NE, BOWMAN ND

 

Attendees:  Pam Fisher, Dave Mosbrucker, Mike Beylund, Peggy Allen, and Ryan Shear.

 

Absent:  Jory Reisenauer and Bryan Clendenen.

 

President Shear called the meeting to order at 5:32pm.   Motion by Beylund, second by Mosbrucker, to approve the agenda.  AIF = MC.

 

Motion by Mosbrucker, second by Fisher to approve the minutes from the 12/20/22 meeting.   AIF, MC.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

A public hearing was held for Mike Beylund from Beylund Construction.  He is applying for a zone change from Agriculture to Commercial – 1.  The site is situated in a 3.23 acre tract in NW1/4NE1/4 Sec 12-131-102 also known as 14441 85th Street SW, Bowman, ND.  This property is located in the ET Zone.  He is also applying for a CUP to allow for a construction company in C-1.  No one appeared in opposition of the zone change or CUP.  Motion by Mosbrucker, second by Fisher to approve the zone change from Agriculture to Commercial-one and approved the conditional use permit for a construction company.  AIF, with Beylund abstaining = MC.

OLD BUSINESS:

 

Grain Bin Gazebos:  It was decided that we would consider grain gazebos as a unique structure and put a unique structure statement in the ordinance which would require their permit to go before the board for approval.

 

Storage Container Regulations:  Allen will have Attorney Wild come up with verbiage to not allow in residential areas, and they would be put under unique structure requirements.

 

Zoning Committee Update:  Allen and Shear are meeting with the zoning committee tomorrow regarding joining zoning with the County.  If we join boards, we will suggest taking two from our board.   Shear is already on the board so there would be a total of three from the City if it is approved.

Discussion was held on equal representation per population on the joint board.  Bowman has more population than Rhame or Scranton, so we should have more people on the board.  There was also some discussion about having female representation on the board as it is mainly male, for the purpose of diversified thinking.

 

Motion by Mosbrucker, second by Fisher to adjourn  the meeting at 6:10 pm.  AIF, MC.
