Missoula County supports SB 382: Create the Montana Land Use Planning Act, scheduled for second reading on the Senate floor today. We thank Senator Boldman, Representative Hopkins, and Representative Karlen for introducing this bill.
This bill, as amended, would allow counties to opt into the provisions provided within The Montana Land Use Planning Act. This Act is a modernization of our land use planning statutes for our fastest growing communities that emphasizes proactive planning and the simplification of the development review process. Under this Act, communities will align the tools used to manage growth while encouraging development to occur where it is planned for and can be accommodated. This will result in a faster, easier and more cost-effective process to build housing in our communities.
