A Local government may regulate building size or height, density, setbacks, green space, cell towers, industrial uses, adult businesses, etc. Police Power The basis and authority to zone is the police power. Police power = the governments power to protect the publics health, safety, and general welfare. The police power is inherent to the state, but has been delegated to local governments through enabling legislation for zoning.

Missoula County (Williams). GOMAG May 7, 2008 Gallatin County adopted interim zoning. County extended interim zoning to May 7, 2010. March 23, 2010 County passed resolution of intent to create permanent zoning. Protests were received, but the county did not adopt permanent zoning within required time. District Court ruled issue was moot. GOMAG Constitutional Arguments:
Unlawful delegation of legislative authority GOMAG argued that zoning is a legislative (local governing body) decision that cannot be delegated to landowners through a protest provision. Protest provision may prohibit county from protecting publics health and safety. Equal Protection Non-landowners cannot petition the county regarding zoning protest. Same as a vote for zoning, which non-landowners cannot give. GOMAG Supreme Court affirmed.
Jurisdiction did not exist and case was moot. No longer a live controversy once interim zoning expired. Zoning failed because BOC did not take necessary actions to establish zoning before deadlines expired. Because the County could take no further action on the Interim Zoning District and it failed to take any
action on the proposed Resolution before the May 27 deadline, the District Court correctly determined this matter was moot. - Gateway Opencut Mining Action Group v. Board of County Commissioners of Gallatin County, 2011 MT 198. Williams May 30, 2008 Missoula County adopted North Lolo Rural Special Zoning District (interim).
Interim zoning extended to May 30, 2010. April 7, 2010 BOC adopted resolution of intent to adopt permanent zoning. Five landowners in the district (three individuals and two entities) whose property is taxed for agriculture purposes protested (over 50% threshold).
May 14, 2010 landowner requested court order that 76-2-205, MCA, is unconstitutional. Williams District Court issued preliminary injunction. Order prohibited Missoula County from acting on protests. County adopted North Lolo Rural Special Zoning District. Motions for summary judgment filed. Protestors intervened. Case is pending in Missoula County . . . Contact Information: Helen Thigpen
