Hello Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Commissioners, and Community Development Department,
Please act on Commissioner Madgic's suggestion at the June 3rd commission meeting to enact
a pause, a temporary moratorium, on large developments (35,000 sq ft) within the NCOD.
We need this pause while we craft tools to manage mass and scale together as a community inthe UDC update and rework the zoning map to make sure development entitlements match
community desires.
The city's multifamily vacancy rate should tell you that what developers are supplying is notthe kind of housing that Bozeman's working families need. High vacancy offers a perfect
opportunity to pause, reflect and study what kind of development will meet our community'sshare goals and the regulation that will incentivize it.
Please enact this temporary moratorium as soon as possible!
Thank you,
Benjamin Heller
