Email: agenda@bozeman.net Mail to: Attn: City Commission PO Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 First Name Andrew Last Name Hurlburt Email Address hurlburt09@gmail.com Phone Number 4065790829 Comments First, I am pleased to see that the Allison Sub Final Plat has been moved to consent and will, after much ado, be completed. Thank you. Next, I would like to comment in support of the Canyon Gate project. Countless times in the last decade we have been hearing about affordable housing challenges. We have seen misguided ordinances, poorly allocated tax payer money, numerous expensive studies and a whole lot of drum beating. But what we haven't seen is any action that reflects all of the sentiments regarding the issue. The most important and effective thing that our city government can do to help with housing is allow for more housing to be built, with as little interference in the process as is possible. That means allowing for higher density annexations in the appropriate spots, while not encumbering developers by sending them back to the drawing board repeatedly. The Canyon Gate project specifically addresses so many of the goals that our city leadership has expressed interest in meeting. It is a project situated within pedestrian distance of the downtown corridor, jobs, shopping, bus routes, schools, the interstate, and of course the all important parks, trails and recreation... We have seen time and time again that the commission has swayed to the voices of the vociferous few screaming NIMBY! I encourage the commissioners and mayor to not let this be one of those times. Vote how you've told your constituents you would, vote in favor of housing, vote in support of our developers who take tremendous risk. Vote in favor of the adoption of the Canyon Gate ZMA.
