Planning

Welcome to the City of Polson Planning Department. This department manages current and long range planning activities in the City of Polson. Current planning involves implementation of adopted land use plans, policies and development regulations through review of specific land use and development applications. Development review includes zoning conformance, zoning amendments, special use permits, preliminary subdivisions, and final plat applications. Long range planning involves planning for future growth, development, and conservation within the City through the development and adoption of the Polson Growth Policy and development regulations contained in City Ordinances. The City’s Development Code provides the guidelines and criteria upon which the Planning Department, the City-County Planning Board, and City Commission base their decisions.
