Public Comment-
In my opinion, it will be a shame if portions of Midtown get sucked back into the NCOD limits. I hope
layers of regulation will be removed in the attempt to make development within Midtown less
confusing and cumbersome. I’m disappointed with how the UDO re-write worked out for the
District.
I’ve spouted this before: Big picture and clear priorities need to be defined and decisions made
based on them. In this case, is “Infill Redevelopment” a priority? Or will neighborhood input,
affordable housing, maximizing tax base, coordinating development, storm-water engineering,
various other departmental agendas, etc. continue to dilute and delay the focus? All these things
have their place but, if Infill Redevelopment is a priority should “best-use” perfection be the enemy
of good “acceptable” projects?

Importance: High
Midtown Board:
Consultants working on a project to update the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD)
may propose changes including expanding the boundaries of the NCOD to include the Midtown
Urban Renewal District. As you may recall, Midtown was removed from the NCOD with the adoption
of B-2M zoning, but it is possible the boundary could be expanded to include parts of Midtown.
There are 3 public meetings led by the consulting team and they are also providing an update to the
City Commission at their regular meeting at 6pm on Monday. You can find out more about the other
meetings here https://www.bozeman.net/city-projects/ncod-review . Please consider making time
to participate in these meetings. Brit and I will be out of the office and will not be available to
participate.
