To the Bozeman City Commission,
I am writing to express my support for the appeal of Application 25033 and to request areversal of the decision. The appeal is based on the following critical grounds:
Right to a New Public Hearing: Following the Commission's denial of the project inJuly, citizens are entitled to a new public hearing.Failure to Apply NCOD Standards: City staff erred by not applying mandatoryNeighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) standards to the building's form,
mass, and scale, violating code 38.230.100A.5.c. The proposed development isincompatible with the surrounding neighborhood.Violation of Design Criteria: The application does not meet the design integrationstandards with the existing neighborhood as required by code 38.230.100.A.7.Flawed Traffic Study: City staff ignored critical deficiencies in the traffic studyconcerning surrounding intersections.Illegal Demolition Approval: City staff violated code 38.340.120.D.3, which mandatesa two-year demolition stay after a project denial, to explore alternatives.
Therefore, I urge the Bozeman City Commission to reverse the decision on Application25033.
Sincerely,
Paula Mozen
