Montana SB214 amends zoning laws to ensure that any ambiguity or uncertainty regarding the allowance of nonconforming uses must be interpreted in favor of the free use of property. The bill removes exceptions that allowed historic preservation boards to review applications for zoning permits and variances. It also mandates that local governments adopt zoning regulations for areas outside municipal boundaries that they anticipate may be annexed within the next 20 years.
