Bill > SB174

This bill updates Montana's laws related to the review of buildings for lease or rent by requiring recreational vehicles (RVs) and mobile homes to be considered as buildings for subdivision review purposes. Specifically, the bill modifies several sections of Montana law to clarify that areas providing multiple spaces for RVs or mobile homes will now be treated as subdivisions and subject to the same review and regulatory requirements as other types of land developments. The changes impact definitions in land use regulations, subdivision review processes, and park dedication requirements. Key modifications include expanding the definition of "building" to explicitly include multiple spaces for RVs and mobile homes, requiring these spaces to be reviewed similarly to other types of land subdivisions, and ensuring that such developments comply with local zoning regulations, growth policies, and environmental assessment requirements. The bill aims to provide more consistent oversight and planning for RV and mobile home spaces, treating them with the same level of scrutiny as other types of residential developments. The changes will apply to RV and mobile home spaces created on or after the bill's effective date, and the bill includes provisions to coordinate with other potential legislative changes to ensure consistent implementation.
