Dear City Officials and Stakeholders,
I am writing in support of the Bronken's Cloverleaf Project, also known as the Cloverleaf Zoning Map
Amendment B2-M, located at 707 East Peach Street in Bozeman, Montana. This mixed-use
residential community is focused on addressing the "missing middle" of housing for Bozeman
residents and will feature a combination of townhomes and apartments.
The project is set to include 110 residences that will be capped at 50 feet and 3.5 stories. I am
particularly excited about the inclusion of affordable housing in this development, with 14 total units,
including 10 at 80% AMI and 3 at 120% AMI. It is crucial that we work to provide housing options for
all members of our community, and this project is taking a step in the right direction.
Furthermore, the project's focus on creating a highly walkable community with newly designed
streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting is commendable. This will encourage walking for people of
all ages and abilities and will improve traffic safety on the streets and sidewalks. The timing of this
project is also critical, as the removal of blight from the neighborhood, including abandoned cars,
barbed wire, stacks of trash, and pallets, is a pressing concern.
I am pleased to know that the developer, Outlaw Real Estate Partners, and its leaders, Eric Ladd and
Mike Magrans, have reached out to the local community and incorporated input into the re-
submittal. Their dedication to engaging with the community and making the project a collaborative
effort is noteworthy.
In conclusion, I urge you to support the Bronken's Cloverleaf Project and approve the Cloverleaf
Zoning Map Amendment B2-M. This project will bring much-needed housing options, including
affordable housing, to the community while also improving the walkability and safety of the
neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration.
