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!
