MLUPA (Montana Land Use Planning Act) has been a hot button topic over the last few years and we’re here to talk about it directly. Join us for an MLUPA Lunch and Learn Webinar on June 4 from noon to 1:00pm. Please register at Engage Bozeman to attend. Whether you’re just starting to learn about planning in the city or have been actively involved over the years with the UDC, this webinar is for you! We’ll talk about what this law means for public participation and all things land use. Come ready to learn and ask your questions!

What's MLUPA? In 2023, the Montana State Legislature passed the Montana Land Use Planning Act (MLUPA), which overhauled laws around land use that apply to cities of a certain size. MLUPA defined the level of public participation that is required when cities adopt, amend, or update their land use plan or associated regulations and plans. It requires cities to provide “continuous public participation” and to adopt a public participation plan that demonstrates the City’s compliance with these requirements.
