The bill aims to revise existing laws related to county and municipal zoning to facilitate the separation of incompatible property uses. This legislative change is intended to enhance community planning and ensure that different types of land use do not negatively impact one another, thereby promoting a more organized and functional development of areas.

To implement these changes, the bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 76-1-106, 76-2-201, 76-2-206, and 76-2-301. The amendments include new legal language that clarifies the criteria and processes for zoning decisions, ensuring that local governments have the authority to effectively manage land use and mitigate conflicts between incompatible uses.
