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 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.
