Missoulians are disillusioned with the zoning regulations. Neighborhoods are unhappy with sections on infill, multifamily housing, and parking, which they see as threatening to neighborhood character. Businesses are unsettled by the time and effort it takes to obtain zoning compliance permits or changes. Design professionals are concerned because the code does not easily accommodate contemporary and sustainable design. The city is frustrated with administering outdated codes.
The current codes are broken and need to be fixed. Patching up the old zoning code, as we have done for decades, is no longer an option. We need a fresh, comprehensive document. Thankfully, we are in the process of creating new and efficient zoning regulations for the city of Missoula.
