Attn Community Development Board and City Commission,
I am writing to ask that the UDC revisions be tabled until the City has done an
adequate job of listening to what Bozeman residents want. Far too many residents
are opposed to the proposed revisions. The only people that appear to be in
support are the developers.
New state laws allow for some infill (ADUs) which can help address the
affordable housing crisis. The UDC revisions do not make affordable housing
more likely. They make continued luxury development more likely in places they
couldn’t have been built before. The UDC rewrite will strip neighborhoods of
their character and allow buildings to steal sun that is needed for solar panels.
It seems as though the proposed UDC takes a sledge hammer to our core
neighborhoods when what you really need is a scalpel. Please slow down and go
back to the drawing board. Thank you,
John
I'm running for Mayor to make Bozeman the most sustainable town on the planet.
