Dear Bozeman City Commission:
I am writing to support the following UDC update concerns and recommendations offered
by the Midtown Neighborhood Association Steering Committee (MNA-SC) in their public
comment dated Nov 18, 2025.
https://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink/DocView.aspx?
id=309194&dbid=0&repo=BOZEMAN.
Zone Map Changes recommended:
(1) Re-zone N. 7th Ave URD/B2-M from Main at least to Peach St—and preferably to
Tamarack St—as B-1.
(2) Re-zone residential east and west of N. 7th Ave to R-A/R-B, incremental to current built.
(3) Restrict B-3 to a halo around Main St, Mendenhall St, and Babcock St.
(4) Adopt Centennial Park Neighborhood and Bon Ton Neighborhood re-zonings as each is
proposed.
Draft Text Changes recommended:
(1) Table 38.420.020-1. Increase 12 unit/acre maximums to 60.
(2) 38.530.020.L. Edit snow removal storage area: Increase minimum percentage from 15%
to
50% unless a haul-off contract is filed with the city.
(3) 38.400.060.B.3. Edit Mitigation of Transportation Impacts to maintain minimum LOS C,
and
strike a.(1-3.) exceptions.
(4) 38.530.040.A.1.a Strike Midtown Urban Renewal District from list of exempt from
parking
requirements.
As the MNA-SC wrote in their public Nov 18 public comment: "Neighborhood concerns [and
recommendations] are not obstacles; they are data, and they should guide you."
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Daniel Carty
