View and comment on the first round of updates to the DSR!

 

This is the BCC adoption draft of the Round 1 edits for the Park County Development Standards and Regulations ("DSR") Update. This draft reflects changes recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission following their public hearing on November 20, 2024.

The first round of proposed updates to the DSR is the subject of this notice and involves, generally, formatting and administrative changes including, but not limited to: modernizing the format of the document (e.g., automatic page numbering, linked Table of Contents, etc.); updates to Chapter I (Administration); a preliminary update of Chapter II (Definitions); updates to portions of the regulations that are directly impacted by recent statutory language changes (e.g., family exemptions, subdivision fencing, etc.); and a first-round appendices clean-up. Bringing the regulations into alignment with state and federal law is a primary goal of this effort. This first round of amendments is intended to address “low hanging fruit” issues during a short window of time. During the past several years, P&Z staff, the P&Z Commission and Board identified several key areas of the DSR requiring quick attention during this round of amendments. Recommended language and changes are reflected in all but Chapter V of this first-round draft. No changes to the official zoning map of the County are proposed during this round.

The Park County Board of County Commissioners ("Board") will hold a special meeting to conduct a public hearing on the proposed first-round updates/amendments to the 2015 Park County Development Standards and Regulations (“DSR”) on  Monday, January 27th at 1:15 pm in the Grizzly Room of the Cody Library, 1500 Heart Mountain Street, Cody, WY.

ALL ABOUT THE PROJECT

What is the Development Standards and Regulations (DSR) update?

The purpose of this project is to review and update the standards and regulations that help guide development and uses in the County. This project will begin with an assessment of the current standards and regulations, identify what is missing, and update the standards and regulations to best correspond with the updated Land Use Plan (LUP). 

This update also includes development of zoning district profiles and assessment of the current zoning map. The zoning map will be analyzed in relation to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in the Land Use Plan. 

Who is involved in the DSR update?

In 2024, the Park County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2024 Land Use Plan (LUP) with the intent of launching the process to update the Development Standards and Regulations (DSR) to best align with the goals and strategies of the LUP. Throughout the process, landowners and residents of Park County will have numerous opportunities to help shape the updated DSR. From technical working groups, open houses, and planning area meetings, the public is invited to participate throughout the almost two-year long process. 

 

What is the DSR update timeline?

The DSR update is split into four phases over almost a two-year period. The first two phases are about identifying the priority chapters that need updates. The third phase is the bulk of the updates where the vast majority of the DSR will be drafted and adopted. The final phase is focused on the project team closing out the project and rolling out the final, new and improved, DSR!
