This year’s package proposes 40 amendments and include changes that will:

• Help implement the recently adopted Missoula Housing Policy;

• Update Title 20 noticing procedures to enhance coordination, create consistency and help improve the effectiveness of the process; and,
• Includes miscellaneous amendments.

Information and amendments regarding the Title 20 Update can be found at Missoula Zoning Code Updates located on the City’s new on line engagement platform Engage Missoula. (www.engagemissoula.com)
