Thatcher - Bozeman Medical Arts Zone Map AmendmentFrom:Tony Thatcher To:Agenda Subject:Against Zoning Map Amendment - 19-258 Date:Tuesday, September 03, 2019 11:22:20 AM Dear City Commissioners, This letter is to express my opposition to the proposed Zoning Map Amendment (19-258) for the Medical Arts Complex parking lot on North Willson Ave. I own a house at 405 N Willson and have lived there with my wife for 17 years. In the short term, building on this critical parking lot makes no sense as it is heavily used by tenants and clients at Medical Arts. Taking away this parking would force those people to walk long distance to receive treatment or get to work. Parking is already at a premium in the area. Taking away any parking and increasing density is insane. It is currently zone Residential and should remain that way. Affordable housing and office space in the core of Bozeman should be a goal of the commission. Converting this and the adjacent Medical Arts center into more mixed use commercial/business/high-end residential only serves the developer's bottom line, not the citizens of Bozeman. I encourage you to reject this zoning change. -- -Tony Thatcher 405 N Willson bozeman, MT 59715 tony@dtmgis.com 406-581-0847
