In late March and early April, Park County hosted six (6) open houses to present draft zoning maps and use tables reflecting input we received at the eight (8) open houses held in January, February and early March and the online questionnaire. This effort is part of the second round of amendments to the Park County Development Standards and Regulations – a process which is its early stages. The goal of this web exercise is to gather additional input on this preliminary information from members of the public who were unable to attend the recent open houses or did not have time to provide input at the meetings. We will leave this mapping/input activity open for approximately one month before the County proceeds with an extensive internal review to consider all public input to date, the Land Use Plan, technical input, and more. Later in the process, the County will share a new draft of the zoning maps and use tables for the public’s consideration.

 

While reviewing the materials that follow, please consider the following high-level questions:

  1. Do the proposed zoning district boundaries make sense? Are the breaks between each type in meaningful places?
  2. Do the allowed/prohibited uses in the tables for each zoning district suit each area?
  3. What minimum and/or average lot sizes are appropriate in each zoning district?
    1. Example 1: If you have no preference for lot sizes being small or large, indicate “any lot size is fine” or “no minimums required.”
    2. Example 2: If you’d like to see lot sizes that are no smaller than 5 acres, indicate “minimum lot sizes of 5 acres.”
    3. Example 3: If you don’t mind a small lot here and there, but prefer larger lots generally, consider indicating average lot sizes of 10, 20, or 35 acres, etc. You can even go a step further and indicate how small the smallest lots can be in these cases.

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!
