Land Use & Zoning

In Montana, a developer seeking to build a mixed-use project in an area zoned single-family residential would most likely need to apply for:

AA building permit only
BA rezoning or planned unit development (PUD) approval✓ Correct
CA home occupation permit
DOnly a variance for the commercial component

Explanation

Converting single-family residential zoning to mixed-use typically requires either a rezoning (changing the zoning designation) or a planned unit development (PUD) approval, which allows for flexible mixed-use development through a negotiated approval process with the local government.
