Comments
The proposed rezoning request on behalf of Homebase Montana which proposes to develop the land at the
corner of Bridger Canyon and Story Mill, converting it into a mixed commercial development is far too
dense for the area.
The land Surrounding this proposed zone change is of a rural character including townhomes and single-
family dwellings. This area acts as a gateway to the Bridger Mountains, one of our highly prized natural
experiences.
The proposed parking, accompanying noise, lighting, lack of planned green space, 4 story heights of
buildings and accompanying impervious surfaces which are proposed would create an intensely urban
situation completely unsuited for this environment. Realizing we need more affordable housing should not
translate to increased building heights in an area that acts as a gateway to a Mountain environment.
To segue to the Bridger Mountains, a lower density use might be considered more appropriate. The
intensely urban proposal before us is a shocking misuse of our precious land. I suggest a master plan be
developed that is sensitive to the environmental conditions which are our finite amenities, create spaces
and uses that benefit all our citizens, be proactive in implementing energy saving building methods, create
enhanced green spaces which are proven to be necessary for health, and not simply pander to the pockets
of developers.
Respectfully,
Sherry Jones
