Dear City Commission and fellow Bozemanites,
I strongly oppose the changes to UDC Chapter 38 and the changes to zoning within the
Bozeman city limits. I understand that Bozeman faces many housing issues- affordablehousing being the main one- and that the coding itself is antiquated, but doing away with
zoning completely is NOT the way to solve these problems.
Changing the zoning code is going to continue to allow out of state developers to come in andput multifamily housing on lots that should instead retain the charm and historical significance
that is so important to and appreciated by Bozeman residents.
Eight plexes on a single lot will not help the affordable housing cirisis- we all know they willsell for or be priced out of what normal people in Bozeman can afford. Plus, the current city
infrastructure cannot handle a free for all when it comes to building like this. Where willpeople park? What will be done with water, sewer lines, etc if the developer/builder simply
has to hook up to them instead of update anything? It simply does not make sense.
The Bozeman Development Board and City Commission need to slow down and consider theactual impacts and consequences of what eliminating zoning would actually do. And another
solution needs to be found.
Thank you, Maria Holiday

I am writing to oppose the changes to UDC Chapter 38 and the rezoning of Bozeman nieghborhoods. While I
understand the current zoning is antiquated, doing away with zoning is NOT the way to fix it. This will drastically
affect the quality of life in Bozeman. Bozeman needs to retain it's character and remain the town people love.
Allowing developers (who are not from here) to develop any lot into multifamily housing will ruin the charm,
especially in the historical districts of Bozeman.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
