To Whom It May Concern:
As a member of the Bozeman community for over 50 years, and also having a deceased
husband who was a native Bozemanite, I am very concerned about the viability of changing
neighborhoods currently zoned as RS, R1, R2, and R3 rezoned as RA which will allow for
construction of 2-story/8 unit apartments. I realize that Bozeman is in need of affordable
housing but I see no need to open the zoning areas up to developers who might cram high
density structures into single and double family residences.
AND, also thinking about R4 switched to RB would allow developers to build structures of 24
units. This does not make sense. We already have parking problems in all the new condos
and apartment buildings being built all around our city.
It seems that places like California and Oregon who have modified their zoning and we are
modeling to fit the proposed zoning in Bozeman, have had plummeting of property values and
neighborhoods that are ruined because of this zoning change.
I am just a concerned citizen who has already had to adjust to many changes in Bozeman over
the years and would like to see this new rewrite of zoning regulations fail.
Thank you for your time and your dedication to our fine city of Bozeman.
