To the Bozeman City commission, I would like to offer a few thoughts on the proposed updates to the UDC
revision, in particular the residential zoning.
Looking at the draft proposal, what jumps out at me is the lack of attention to the importance of green spaces. The
potential density and size of allowed building completely obliterates any amount of usable yard or sunlight between
lots. Ironically, the manufactured home (RM-H) zoning looks like the most desirable place to live! Open space and
green spaces are critical to the health of people, mentally and physically.
Please reconsider the large size and density of allowed buildings in the R-A, R-B, and R-C districts, or consider
something like only allowing a certain number of multiplexes per block of property. Not allowing several in a row.
Thanks for listening,
Susie Mathre
