Regarding Application 24570, the Project Description states "The proposed zoning allows for consistent land use
patterns that uphold the existing character of the surrounding community...". Proposed R5 zoning for this project
does not uphold "the existing character..." With respect to that "character", there is a clear difference between the
area south of Baxter Lane where higher density and mixed use zoning is appropriate, and north of Baxter Lane that
is primarily zoned R1 and R3. Furthermore, the proposed annexation area is a pristine riparian corridor with
abundant wetlands and abundant wildlife. High density development, with the attendant paved areas for parking,
will impact the natural qualities of this land far beyond R1 or R3 zoning where development can be more tailored to
the surrounding landscape. Finally, the negative impact of R5 zoning to existing property owners in the R1 zoned
area immediately to the east cannot be overstated.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
