I am writing to oppose the new re-zoning and aggregating R1-R4 into a single RA category. Trying to fix a problem
with a single broad-brush solution is significantly flawed. This will materially change the character of our
neighborhood (Figgins) and is wholly inappropriate. Creating the possibility of a 45-foot-tall 8-plex in our quiet
residential area will increase parking issues, create noise issues, and otherwise alter the character of what drew all
of us to live in this neighborhood in the first place. While I certainly acknowledge that Bozeman has a housing
shortage - creating the possibility of large multi-unit structures in an already existing residential neighborhood is not
a solution. Please consider amending this to allow only for ADU's or maybe duplexes or triplexes. This has worked
(with evidence) to provide lower-cost options for affordable housing in places like Seattle. Further, consider
restricting this re-zoning to only the city core or more nuanced zone categories.
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.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
