Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners,
Bozeman residents living in neighborhoods targeted for development deserve to be heard, respected, and even have
their wishes met. I fully support the words below, and therefore forward this email to you.
The Midtown neighborhood deserves your attention. Their recommendations on the UDC update are reasonable and
should be considered.
Please view their comment submitted November 18th by their Neighborhood Association president, Emily Talago,
on behalf of the steering committee. They make a substantial case for the following recommendations:
Zone Map Changes:
● Centennial and BonTon as requested
● Re-zone N. 7th URD/B2-M from Main to at least Peach (possibly Tamarack) as B1
○ Or a Midtown version of B3-C
● Re-zone residential East/West of N 7th to RA/RB, incremental to current built
● Restrict B-3 to halo around Main Street: Mendenhall, Babcock
Draft Text Changes:
● Table 38.420.020-1. Increase 12 unit/acre maximums to 60
● 38.530.020.L. Edit snow removal storage area- increase minimum percentage from 15 to
50% unless haul off contract is filed with the city
● 38.400.060.B.3. Edit Mitigation of Transportation Impacts to maintain min LOS C, and
strike a.(1-3.) exceptions
● 38.530.040.A.1.a Strike Midtown Urban Renewal District from list of exempt from parking
requirements
To quote their submission letter, "Neighborhood concerns are not obstacles; they are data, and they should guide
you."
Thank you,
