Commission recommends code update to meet state-mandated parking ratios
Summary
City planners told the commission the state requires changes to residential parking ratios; commissioners voted to recommend updating Belgrade's zoning code to reflect the new 0.5/1.0 parking-space standards.
Senior planner Bridal Stein presented a zoning text amendment required by state law that changes parking requirements for dwelling units, and the commission voted to recommend the code update.
Stein told the commission the change was driven by the 2025 legislative session and cited the relevant House Bill language. "This is… pursuant to House Bill 429," Stein said, and summarized the requirement as 0.5 off-street parking spaces for a dwelling unit under 1,200 square feet (rounded up) and one parking space for units over 1,200 square feet, effective Oct. 1 for cities that qualify by population.
Commissioners acknowledged limited local flexibility because the requirement is mandated by the state, and staff noted the code update is primarily an administrative compliance step; the commission moved and voted to recommend the text amendment to city council.
