Park County DSR Update

Park County DSR Update

About

Welcome to Park County's Development Standards and Regulations (DSR) update engagement hub! Over the next few years, this webpage will serve as the homebase for project information, updates, meeting information, and engagement opportunities. 

 

UPCOMING MEETINGS!

The Board of County Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning Commission will join together to host six special meetings regarding the draft Park County, Wyoming, 2027 Development Standards and Regulations (DSR). These meetings will present a preview of portions of the draft 2027 DSR, which is intended to fully amend/replace the 2025 DSR. Several draft chapters, a new draft of the official zoning map, and the draft use table will be on display. All chapters of the 2025 DSR are being rewritten and/or reorganized, and the official zoning map for the County is set to be amended/replaced as part of this same effort. The County intends to remove the Road and Bridge Standards from the DSR and adopt them as a standalone document by separate resolution later this year. It is the County’s intent to review public comment received during the special meeting to refine portions of the draft 2027 DSR before releasing a full adoption draft (all chapters plus the zoning map) for consideration at public hearings later in the year. Owners of land in unincorporated Park County are strongly encouraged to participate in these meetings. County representatives and project consultants will be available for the duration of the meetings to answer questions and gather feedback. Each meeting will open with a brief presentation followed by “open house” style collaboration.

Tuesday, June 9, 2026: 9am – 1pm at Cody Auditorium, 1240 Beck Ave, Cody, WY

Tuesday, June 9, 2026: 5pm – 8pm at Homesteader Hall @ Fairgrounds, 655 East 5th St., Powell, WY

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.
