Dear Commissioners,
I saw the press release this morning delaying the UDC. The community has spoken and the
vast majority of us want the low density zoning consolidation rescinded. To delay this votenand kick the can down the road for more meetings over the next 2.5 months is burdensome to
the families in Bozeman who work and have children.
I know a lot of parents in the district I've spoken to have simply been worn down and given upbecause they have not been listened to at the commission meetings. They feel projects have
essentially been rubber stamped with few changes addressing our concerns It's sad to see thistype of disengagement due to valid feelings of being ignored by our representatives.
We urge you to finally cancel the plans for turning our neighborhoods into high
density housing with 8-plexes, 4-plexes, etc. I realize state law mandates duplexes be allowedin R-1, and I support ADUs, but not triplexes or anything higher density than that. Let the
community know you are all listening to us and finally cancel the proposed low densityconsolidation!
Sincerely,
Adam Makhluf
