Subject: Urban Density zoning proposal in Community Plan Update.
Hello, Thank you all for putting together the Bozeman Community Plan Update. Regarding the proposed zoning change from R1 and R2 to “Urban Density” please reconsiderthis large scale change to such a large area of Bozeman. I live in the North Tracy Historic District in R2. This allows ADU’s. R2 having such preciseparameters gives the residents in this area security in knowing what can and more importantly,cannot be built next door. The North Tracy Historic District is located between the Downtown, Midtown and Cannerydistricts which properly allow for higher heights and density. But this makes it even is evenmore important to maintain the historic attributes of the residential neighborhoods that arebordered by these areas. On Juneteenth (June19) this year, the Extreme History Projecthonored the day by giving a free tour of the former Black neighborhoods in Bozeman, itstarted at Beall Park and wound around the North Tracy neighborhood.With this area so close to the downtown core it is important that the City does not change thezoning to be so “permissive” that it allows out of scale building size and heights to “creep’into this historic residential neighborhood. Thank you for your time,Pamela Pamela Hainsworth414 N. Tracy AvenueBozeman, Montana, 59715pamela.hainsworth@gmail.com406-580-8656
