Revise the land use and planning act
This bill revises Montana's land use and planning act to clarify how local governments can make decisions on development applications and establish clearer public notice requirements for zoning and planning actions. It allows cities to retain extraterritorial zoning authority beyond their boundaries and clarifies which land divisions are excluded from subdivision review. The legislation also updates definitions for key terms like "agency" and "development application" while amending several existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated to streamline local planning processes.
