Subject: Car Sharing Parking Spots - Black-Olive Project
Dear Bozeman Planning Staff,
I believe the car sharing parking spot allotment (1 car share spot = 5 standard spots) as being proposed
for the Black-Olive apartment project is unrealistic. Suggest therefore your staff do a detailed
assessment of the practicality of car sharing at this large apartment complex. For example does any car
sharing parking spots exist within the city? If so: are ride sharing vehicles being used at these location;
who purchases and owns these vehicles; who pays for vehicle maintenance and operation; how is use
of share vehicles decided; are these parking spots permanently restricted for car share vehicles (not
other vehicles); and, are building owners (and all subsequent owners) responsible party for assuring that
share parkings sports are indeed created and solely used for car sharing?
If the City endorses the use of the 1 for 5 shared parking spaces then building/zoning permits should
require that the builder and subsequent owners as well have legal responsibility for purchasing the
shared vehicles, constructing the share parking spots and for having an active and continuing car
sharing program at this building.
Please include my email in your review file for the Black-Olive apartment project.
Thank you.
