Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners,
Remember Mr Rogers? Won’t you be my neighbor?
I fully support Centennial Park Neighborhood's Conservation in Action Resident-led Proposal. Won’t you support it
too?
I attended their meetings and this is a grassroots effort by real people who live and work in Bozeman and contribute
to Bozeman’s character.
The neighborhood has done this work, to organize and advocate for themselves, unpaid!! This is impressive! Their
request for alternate zoning in the UDC update is appropriate for the following reasons:
It supports your growth strategy.
It will protect the existing variety of housing types.
Zoning change to R-A will promote conservation of mature trees and vegetation to support the cities appreciating
green assets.
It helps preserve the Historic homes in the area.
Zoning this R-A allows for neighborhood friendly infill over time. A goal of the city!
I’ve written about this before! Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing or NOAH will be less likely to be
redeveloped.
And it will preserve the existing character of the neighborhood because it resides within the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District or NCOD.
Please vote in favor of this hard earned request.
Thank you,
Patty McGown
