Hello Chairman Happle, Commissioner Madgic, Director George, and members of the Community Development
Board,
I'm writing today to express my desire that the proposed R-A zoning district remain at a duplex by right, and allow
the Existing Building Alternative to stand as currently described in the draft. Do NOT upzone R-A to 4 units by
right! Let it stand.
Do NOT upzone R-B to allow 12 units. This just continues to make housing unaffordable in Bozeman by increasing
the income that can be generated off of a SFH lot.
Please ratify the Bon Ton and Centennial neighborhoods to become R-A as currently shown in the Draft UDC. To
continually degrade neighborhoods by inappropriate density materially changes the character without adding any
affordable housing. It promotes a class system where degradation of Bozeman is continually driven by development.
Thank you,
Lorre Jay
