Dear City commissioners,
I am opposed to changing the zone for Cloverlear ZMA from NENMU to B-2M. This is not
the appropriate place for B-2M Zoning and does not fit the neighborhood. If passes, it will
ultimately result in the loss of much of the Northeast Neighborhood area's historical
character because, in part, B-2M zoning is really designed for larger commercial nodes with
better transportation and parking infrastructure.
Bozeman Municipal Code Sec. 38.300.110 (G) states the intent and purpose of the
Northeast Historic Mixed-Use District as providing “recognition of an area that
has developed with a blend of uses not commonly seen under typical zoning
requirements. The unique qualities and nature of the area are not found
elsewhere in the city and should be preserved as a place offering additional
opportunities for creative integration of land uses.”
We have an opportunity to keep a unique neighborhood. You already voted this down in
November 2022. The Cloverleaf developers can pursue the PDZ option and keep the
NEHMU zone intact.
Please prevent this section of the NEHMU from being turned into (majority) short term
rentals and businesses.
Thank you,
Sue Perin
