The Zoning Workshop is set for the January Planning Board Meeting. Initially, the UWSA hoped to have a townhall style meeting to discuss zoning and answer questions. We originally had anticipated having someone from the Flathead County Planning Department attend to educate and answer zoning questions. Unfortunately, due to staffing constraints, the Planning Department does not have the capacity to attend a meeting. They have committed to being responsive to questions that we put forth & we will share those responses with you.
Due to the holidays and timing, we've struggled to find an expert who could attend a meeting. Instead, the UWSA would like to conduct a series of FAQ emails/posts. Please send us your questions about zoning. We'll research the answers and then email out a list of questions and answers as well as post them to our website.
