Hi — I’m writing as a performer who makes part of their living at Last Best Comedy, which is
located in the heart of downtown. This concerns the hotel project that would affect both theparking situation of Last Best and surrounding businesses as well the natural environment as it
relates to Bozeman Creek.
I write to urge consistent enforcement of two well-established policies in the BozemanMunicipal
Code that govern how downtown development occurs:
(1) the requirement thatnew projects develop parking to meet new demand, and
(2) the 35-foot setback from Bozeman Creek.
Both policies were in effect when the applicant acquired the subject property and bothcontinue to protect the long-term health, balance, and sustainability of Bozeman’s urban core.
As a member of the Last Best Comedy community I am concerned that a lack of adherence tothese policies will negatively affect this local business.
Thank you for listening to my concerns.
Best,
Sarah
