Subject:Opposed to Vacational Rental Proposal as it is written
Categories:Public Comment
Hello.
For more than 26 years I have owned and operated a tour company in the Bozeman area. My company has brought
millions of dollars of outside money into Bozeman. Rarely do we use a vacation rental in Bozeman but I am very
dismayed by the sloppy proposal which the city commission is currently considering- the only word for this proposal is
sloppy.
The major problems are:
1. this proposal would result in many city residents losing their homes
2. this proposal would result in historic building being destroyed or damaged
3. this proposal creates problems when currently there is not a vacation rental problem in Bozeman
4. this proposal would eliminate many current long existing vacation rentals that have successfully followed all health or
tax regulations.
I urge you to start over. Even the zoning commission is opposed to what you are proposing to do.
I would support strong regulations that protect Bozeman residents and visitors. But your current proposal fails to do both.
