Commissioners,
I first moved to Bozeman in late 1979, so as you can imagine I have seen many changes. Some I
didn’t like but overall it has been a good ride. Bozeman has been and is a wonderful place to live.
The majority of Bozeman residents have enjoyed the benefits of home ownership in this community.
For many of us our home is our largest financal asset. Home values have increased over the years
have increased for a variety of reasons. Homogenous neighborhoods, neighborhood growth we can
plan on is something that provides faith in the future of our city. The elimination of the current
zoning regulations will harm the typical resident, the couple that live in their largest finacel asset.
Instead of another single family unit next door they could have 12-18 1,000 square foot apartments
with 20-40 tenants., maybe that size building on both sides or across the street. What happens then
to the resale value of their largest financal asset. Please do not throw out a zoning system that has
served our community so well for many years.
