On Monday, March 25, the City Commission gave their unanimous approval for construction of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the Northeast Neighborhood. The project designer, Think Tank, has involved the neighborhood over the past three years in the development of the Cottonwood + Ida concept, which involves both residential and commercial spaces, with a percentage of the units set aside for those qualifying for affordable housing. Read the Bozeman Daily Chronicle article as well as the second presentation Think Tank gave to the neighborhood in February.

From November 7 through 9 there will be three opportunities to give your feedback on draft proposals to update the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Disrtrict (NCOD), created in 1991 to protect neighborhood character, historic districts, and historic landmarks. Your input can help preserve our neighborhood!

The Community Development Department is in the process of reviewing the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District and the Historic Preservation Program. The intent of this project is to evaluate and explore potential alternatives to the NCOD and a restructure of the existing preservation program to better meet today’s community needs as the result of rapid change since the NCOD was first created. The second round of public participation events will be held at various venues October 1-3, 2018.

I am your NENA representative for the inter-neighborhood council (INC), which "exists to give a voice to neighbors and neighborhood concerns and facilitate communication between the City and neighborhoods through a representative forum as an advisory board to the City Commission." Below are my meeting notes from our September meeting yesterday evening. These meetings are open to the public and are a great way to learn about what is happening in Bozeman and with the neighborhoods. Good neighbor day is coming and Pints With Planners and open meetings to learn about the proposed Bozeman Public Safety Center...see details below about how to be involved in our community.  Thanks, Suzanne Held

The City of Bozeman’s Community Development Division has announced several upcoming Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District Review project community engagement events taking place October 1-3, 2018. These upcoming events will focus on presenting initial recommendations and soliciting community feedback, a result of the initial public outreach that took place this past July.

The architect of the project being proposed along the west side of North Willson Avenue/south side of Short Street (currently a trailer park), will be holding an information meeting this SUNDAY, SEPT. 9, 3-6 pm at the SENIOR CENTER (807 N Tracy).

Please come enjoy a pint and talk with City staff and other neighbors about the ins and outs of planning in Bozeman! At MAP Brewing, September 19th from 4:30-6 pm. Then head over to the Library from 6-8 pm to ask questions and find out more about the proposed new Safety Center on Rouse and Oak.

Bozeman residents will vote this November whether or not to fund the city's new proposed $36.9 million Public Safety Center. The Center would be constructed on city-owned property off of North Rouse Avenue and Oak Street (between Oak and Tamarack) and will house a fire station, the police department, municipal courts and a space for victim services and prosecution. If the bond is approved, the average taxpayer will pay a little over a $100 a year for 20-years.

If you have questions, come to a listening session at the Library on Wednesday, September 19.
