PROTEST OF APPLICATION 23047 (Jarret Subdivision)
To Whom It May Concern,
This leter is writen in protest of the proposed rezoning of the Jarret Subdivision, applica�on
23047 within the City of Bozeman. The developer is reques�ng to amend the zoning map from
R1 to R2.
As a neighbor and adjacent property owner to the Jarret Subdivision, I would like to understand
the reasoning for the increased density as it will greatly devalue my property and the adjacent
community of Alder Creek. The expansion of Bozeman is inevitable, but con�nuing to add high
density housing to desirable areas will leave the town with a scatered layout and devalued
property. I would also challenge the need for addi�onal, high density housing in this specific
area as there are many other R2 and mul�-family complexes going up around Bozeman in more
appropriate areas. I fear that that the pull to increase high density housing in this area of town
is misguided and takes away the desirability of living in the adjacent neighborhoods. Conges�on
and infrastructure are already seeing strain and moving toward more density doesn’t make
sense for this subdivision. Please reconsider and chose not to amend from R1 to R2, and if
nothing else, please consider keeping the area South of Graf Street zoned R1.
Thank you for the considera�on.
