As part of this effort, the consultant will then analyze the need for edits to the document to incorporate data, narrative, and maps required of a Land Use Plan as detailed in Montana Senate Bill 382, passed May 17, 2023, and known as the Montana Land Use Planning Act. MLUPA supersedes the requirements of MCA §76-01-601 and sets forth new required components of a comprehensive plan for jurisdictions of a certain population size, such as Helena. The selected consultant, with the assistance of City staff, as needed, will determine areas needing minor updates or the full incorporation of new components to the LUP to complete the update and conversion of the Growth Policy
