Senate Bill 174 revises existing laws related to the review of buildings intended for lease or rent, specifically incorporating recreational vehicles and mobile homes into this classification during subdivision reviews. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), including 76-3-103, 76-3-504, and 76-3-621, to update the definition of "subdivision" to include areas with multiple spaces for recreational camping vehicles or mobile homes, which were previously excluded. Additionally, it removes the requirement for specific criteria to review these areas, thereby streamlining the review process.

The bill also establishes new requirements for park dedication in subdivisions, detailing the percentage of land that must be dedicated based on parcel size while allowing for waivers under certain conditions, such as when land is designated for park use or critical habitat protection. Local governing bodies are empowered to determine suitable locations for parks and playgrounds and must utilize dedicated funds for their development and maintenance. Furthermore, the bill mandates that local governing bodies adopt regulations ensuring compliance with essential factors like water supply and sewage disposal, while also requiring public hearings prior to the adoption of these regulations. Overall, the bill aims to enhance land use planning and management for buildings intended for lease or rent while maintaining community and environmental standards.
