City Commission,
I am ask that you deny the zoning
reques addressed in this agenda item
H.1 scheduled for consideration at
your meeting of February 7, 2022.
The people that live in the neighbor
do not want the change. It isn’t fair to
change our zoning! Bozeman does not
need more exclusive B.3 zoning in
areas currently zoned for multi-family
housing. Bozeman needs more
housing, and this can bes be
accomplished with the exising zoning
in this area. There is a section in the
area currently zoned B.3 but
expanding the B.3 area unnecessarily
to exclusive B.3 zoning opens the area
to excessive development, e.g., luxury
multi-sory buildings, businesses, etc.,
that would adversely afect the quality
of the neighborhood.
Bozeman needs more housing. The
Northeas neighborhood is already
squeezed for parking, we do not need
business consruction that doesn’t
require parking!
Infll on open space for small houses
or apartments or duplexes is the kind
of development that should be
encouraged. Within a few blocks of
my house a developers have been
allowed to build a multi-sory condo
building where the leas expensive
apartment sold for more than
$800,000, with mos apartments more
than $1 million. Because of the B-3
zoning for that property, the
developer was exempt from the
parking requirements of residential
properties, and was exempt from the
setback requirements.
Encouraging/permitting more
developments of this type is not
consisent with the Bozeman 10-year
development plan and will further the
transition of our wonderful town into
an enclave for the rich. This zoning
change should be denied.
