HomeMy WebLinkAbout06-08-16 Public Comment - D. Lamer - ParkingZoning districts should be treated equally, one type of zoning should not be able to infringe on
the rights of another district. That is what is happening now with Business zoning being
approved with insufficient parking requirements. Adjoining residential areas have lost property
rights.
I live in the 500 block of East Olive and vehicles from nearby B zoning line both sides of street
weekdays, South Wallace has same congestion. This is not overflow parking from downtown.
Neighbors and I have lost ability to have friends and family visit with out having to park a couple
blocks away. The street parking is now designated employee parking for area businesses. Traffic congestion has impacted property values.
High density is coming to Bozeman, question is how will it be done. The only entities benefitting
from lack of parking requirements are developers and office building owners. The adjoining
owners are stuck with congestion and a loss of property rights they previously had.
One type of zoning district should should not able to infringe on the rights of an adjoining zoning
district.
