Dear Bozeman City Commission,
I'm writing today in full support of the Centennial Park Neighborhood's Conservation
in Action Resident-led Proposal. The work this neighborhood has done to organize
and advocate to be zoned to R-A in the UDC update is appropriate for the following
reasons:
(1) It will protect the existing variety of housing types.
(2) R-A zoning will be more likely to conserve mature trees and vegetation(appreciating green assets).
(3) It will help preserve the historic homes in the area.
(4) R-A zoning will allow for neighborhood-friendly infill over time.
(5) Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) will be less likely to beredeveloped into noncontextual housing.
(6) It will preserve the existing character and sense of place of the neighborhood,
which lies within the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District or NCOD.
Thank you,
Daniel Carty
