[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much of Great Falls is safe from upzoning because it relies on septic tanks.  The part without sewer connections will be fine.  Soils there won’t support any high density housing.[/quote]

This is incorrect. The law does not provide an explicit exclusion for areas that are outside of the public sewer service area. The only exclusion is insufficient sewer and water capacity. Being outside of the service area does not make a project categorically ineligible. Anything within 2500 to 5000 feet of existing sewer/water lines is feasible as long as the developer pays to extend the sewer water line to the project. The numbers will pencil out for section 8 housing projects on non-profit land because the small area Fair market rent is so high. Low income apartment  developers can get $4,250/month for 3 bed section 8 housing in great falls if they build it. The will be appealing financially at 20 units an acre for some of the churches within a mile of water/sewer.[/quote]
