2025 County Zoning Code draft amendments and updates -
This review was delayed from January 13, 2025.
The Planning staff is preparing draft amendments to the Yellowstone County Zoning Code that will correct errors, cross-references and generally make housekeeping amendments to the code. The code was adopted in late 2020 and is in need of cleanup. In addition, the County Board of Adjustment and the County Zoning Commission have suggested several amendments over the last four (4) years to improve the code and align it with county growth policy goals.
The Planning staff requests the County Zoning Commission review the drafts for amendments to Section 27-300 (Residential districts), 27-400 (Commercial and Mixed Use districts), 27-500 (Public districts), 27-600 (Industrial districts), 27-800 (PND process), 27-1000 (Uses and Use Standards), 27-1100 (Proportionate Compliance), 27-1200 (Landscaping), 27-1300 (Off-street Parking), 27-1400 (Signs), 27-1500 (Nonconformities), and 27-1700 (Violations and Enforcement). Drafts that are acceptable may be formally initiated by the Commission and will begin the public process for hearings and adoption. Revisions may also be suggested before formal initiation and those will be brought back to the Commission at a future meeting.
