We strongly oppose the new residential zoning proposal to change R1, R2 and R3 to one RA
category that would subsequently allow multiple housing units (8)to be developed on currentlydesignated single family lots.
When we purchased our home in Bozeman in 2013, we accepted restrictions imposed by cityzoning rules and our HOA. Since our purchase, we have made improvements to our home and
upgraded the landscaping.To change zoning codes now would reduce our home’s value and completely change the
neighborhood which would not be able to adequately accommodate the increased traffic,parking and density of people.
We think that changes to the zoning code are a result of the commission trying to cater to self-serving developers while ignoring the wishes of homeowners.
We hope that the City Commission’s decision in this matter will consider and prioritizehomeowners over developers.
