Interim zoning

A local architect who followed the UDC process said she was also blindsided by the last-minute 70-to-90-foot change and asked what process exists for this body to seek changes to specific code provisions.

Urged the commission to immediately adopt an interim zoning ordinance pausing major exterior demolition and expansion within the neighborhood conservation overlay district until the NCOD update is finished.

Commended the group for tackling the topic and commented on planning and buildings fitting their environment.

Talked about HOA protections, said zoning dictates what gets built where, noted B-3 already extends past Mendenhall, and supports the INC writing the letter.

Thanked Jim Webster for raising the topic and said it's important to bring in demographics from other parts of Bozeman.

Supported the INC taking a stand on the interim zoning topic.

Said she is in favor of the INC writing the letter to the City Commission.

Raised concerns about what the INC sees as its role and responsibility to get an informed vote.

NENA's president said she came to listen to the zoning discussion, thanked volunteers, and later stated she supports the INC writing the letter to the City Commission.
