I support the Centennial Park Neighborhood Conservation in Action: A Resident-led Proposal
and urge the City to grant the request for R-A zoning in the updated version of the UDC. R-A
zoning would maintain neighborhood character, a mix of housing types that provide
affordable housing, mature trees, and a beautiful view of the Bridger Mountains, all
characteristics of this neighborhood that matter to me. As someone who has lived in the
neighborhood for 24 years, I also value the Senior Center in the neighborhood, where every
day I see older residents of Bozeman benefiting within a safe and supportive community. R-A
zoning within the neighborhood would also support elements of Montana state law
encouraging housing development. Specifically, future residential development could include
accessory dwelling units, duplexes, single-room occupancy units, and tiny houses. It is my
hope that the City would fully and thoughtfully consider, then grant, the request of residents
of the Centennial Park Neighborhood, a great example of engaged citizens who are advocating
for their future.
