I was at the August 24 UDC session at City Hall. I want to specifically thank Tom
Rogers and Dani Hess for sharing their knowledge with me. Both of them had a lot
answers, in fact most of them.
My concern is that the existing R4 will become part of the new RA. While I don’t like
adding R2 and R3 to the old R1, I begrudgingly accept it.
However, including R4 and the 8-plexes that may come to a neighborhood of long-
standing single family homes has the potential to ruin those neighborhoods that have
been in Bozeman for over 60 years.
Perhaps older neighborhoods could be grandfathered in to where the R1 code
remains, but future neighborhoods would allow the complete RA as proposed.
I don’t think an 8-plex in an old neighborhood of single-family homes is a good ideaand I encourage you to tweak the RA proposal to not allow R4 structures in existing
R1 areas.
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to keeping Bozeman a great place .
