Building Height Legislation Out of Touch
At the latest legislative session in Helena, Senate Bill 243 was passed which mandated that small towns across Montana allow by-right development of 60 foot (six story) tall buildings in all downtown and heavy commercial zoning districts, ostensibly to help lower housing prices.

For downtown, there are unintended consequences for such a tall building policy. The reality is it’s not economically feasible to build a large volume of rental apartments in downtown – the land is too expensive, the lots too small, and there is nowhere to park. Unique to Whitefish, we manage our short term rentals (STRs) by zoning district, and downtown commercial is one of the few areas in town where STRs are
