Dear City Commissioners,
I am in favor of the development of affordable housing options in Bozeman. I am not in favor of sacrificing the safety
and livability of current residents in order to do so. A project the size of The Guthrie would be reasonable in an area
that matches the scale of development. Looking at the current zoning maps for Bozeman, this area is zoned R-3. A
project of this scale does not match the current neighborhood.
Developing next to an elementary school and residential homes with no plan for more than 30 spaces for parking and
the increase of traffic makes no sense. It seems it is an attempt to allow the developers to make the same profit they
might make charging the full market value and providing parking. This concession in the short-term will create traffic
and parking issues forever in this area. I ask that the city consider the ramifications of this project.
I ask that you deny The Guthrie.
Sincerely,
Rochelle Nielson
