Content: Consistent, Streamlined Development Review Process: The boundary should serve as an incentive for development by enabling projects in the designated areas to move forward more quickly and easily than projects outside the boundary. Toward this end, the development review process for proposed projects in the urban growth areas should be clearly defined, quickly administered and consistently applied. Ongoing administrative costs should be factored into the plans for maintaining and updating the urban growth boundary. Where has this strategy been applied? Examples in Montana
The City of Missoula : In July 2009, the City of Missoula produced the first annual update of the supporting data used to create the Urban Fringe Development Area (UFDA) Growth Policy Amendment adopted in 2008. This document shows the changes to some of these factors that have occurred during the calendar year 2008. The City of Bozeman: The Bozeman Community Plan is based on the 20-year sewer service boundary contained in the City's 2007 Wastewater Facilities Plan.
