(MIssoula – KPAX) Following months of planning and discussion, the Missoula City Council voted 10-2 on Monday in favor of adopting a new urban camping ordinance that has regulations on when and where it is allowed.
The ordinance restricts times when urban camping is allowed on public property, sets a restriction on setting up camps near businesses and schools, and requires a permit to live out of a vehicle among other rules.
People using public land to camp will be allowed to do so between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. and will then have to clear out.
A full copy of the ordinance can be found here.
