OLLI at MSU Friday Forum: The Future of Zoning in Bozeman

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Montana State University will host a presentation on "The Future of Zoning in Bozeman" during its monthly Friday Forum on Friday, November 10, 2023, on Zoom. The event will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Data from the 2020 U.S. Census showed that Bozeman was one of the fastest-growing small cities in America. With that growth comes challenges related to environmental and climate impacts, open space, adequate transportation infrastructure and housing affordability. Years of studies and plans led to the recently proposed update to the city's development code, promoting compact growth while creating more housing units and options.

Bozeman-based planning consultant Mark Egge will discuss the theory behind the recently postponed revisions to Bozeman's development code. The city's community development manager and project lead planner, Chris Saunders, will answer questions about where the proposal stands now that the city commission has postponed adoption.
