Public Hearings:
a.
The County Zoning Commission initiated these amendments on February 10, 2025. The amendments cover 12 sections of the 2020 Yellowstone County Zoning Code. The Planning staff drafted the amendments to the Yellowstone County Zoning Code to 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. Some of the amendments mirror the updates to the city's zoning code adopted over the last four years, especially the urban zoning districts available through the Planned Neighborhood Development zoning process (Sec. 27-800).
