Zoning regulations are basically a contract between the city and the lot owner. When owners purchase property they
check zoning regulations to make sure they’re compatible with their planned use of the property. To have the city
change zoning and negatively impact people‘s use and enjoyment of their property is wrong. The owners of the
property next to proposed project lost easily over $100,000 of value on their property as soon as the sign was put up
for an 82 foot high building next to them. The city is very concerned with the rights of B3 zoning but they seem to
forget, possibly on purpose, that residential areas have rights also, at least in the zoning code. Bozeman‘s own
zoning regulations clearly state that residential zoning should be managed for residential uses. Allowing an eight
story building next to someone’s house is obviously not following Bozeman‘s own zoning regulations. Manage both
zoning districts not just B3.
