Dear City Commision and Planning staff.
I am opposed to the proposed Block B development on East Babcock as it’s currently proposed for the follow
reasons:
1. Giving a luxury condo developer the affordable housing incentives for only two “affordable units” of 42, if I
understand the proposal correctly, is not in the best interest of the city taxpayers. I’m not opposed to luxury condo
development but they’re the last people who need any incentives.
2. It’s my STRONG opinion that ANY development moving forward must have AT LEAST one parking spot per
unit. Allowing less without a significant increase in public transportation is ABSURD.
3. Bozeman needs to develop strategic locations for affordable housing within the city and then enable that
development through incentives for developers who support the vision and public transportation to support the
development strategy.
Respectfully,
Mike Kennedy
