The County Zoning Commission has concluded a series of five public hearings reviewing the Zoning Code Amendments and Map Update through Project Re:Code, a three-year collaborative effort initiated by the Yellowstone County Board of Planning in June 2017. The mission of the initiative by the Board was to ensure the zoning regulations for the City and County were updated to help implement the Growth Policies and community goals. The current regulations were first adopted in the County in 1973 and have not been thoroughly updated since adoption.
This final public hearing is to review the amendments and map update and to make a formal recommendation on these changes to the Board of County Commissioners for their consideration. The Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the amendments and map update on November 10, 2020.
