I write to urge consistent enforcement of two well-established policies in the Bozeman
MunicipalCode that govern how downtown development occurs: (1) the requirement that
new projects develop parking to meet new demand, and (2) the 35-foot setbackfrom Bozeman Creek. Both policies were in effect when the applicant acquired the
subject property and both continue to protect the long-term health, balance, andsustainability of Bozeman’s urban core. As a member of the Last Best Comedy community I
am concerned that a lack of adherence to these policies will negatively effect this localbusiness.
Basically, I'm fine with building the hotel, but please protect access to local businesses when
you do it. Perhaps building a parking garage with the hotel would remedy this situation.
