In a recent CDB hearing, a planning department staffer said the public has offered plenty of criticism about the
proposed changes to the UDC but hasn't offered much in the way of alternatives. Well here's a novel idea: leave the
zoning map alone! Let's not forget, that we live in a democratic society where the majority rules. Judging by the
comments submitted to the CDB and attendance at the hearings, it's clear this plan is wildly unpopular. The public
has spoken - now do the right thing. It seems that the city is bent on implementing a solution to a problem that can
be solved through market forces. The triangle between Bozeman, Belgrade, and Four Corners has plenty of land
available for housing development at whatever density the city or county desires. Afterall. this is where the city and
county have stated future development should take place. PLEASE, do not force the old, established neighborhoods
to shoulder the burden of fixing a problem that is not of their making.
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
