2006 Park County Growth Policy (currently suspended)
The current Park County Growth Policy is the second growth policy created for Park County through extensive public processes. The 2006 Park County Growth Policy (adopted by the Park County Commission on July 26, 2006) has been suspended by a citizen referendum petition. The suspension will last until the Park County Growth Policy is placed on the November 2008 general election ballot.
The citizens of Park County will decide, during the 2008 general election, whether to keep or discard the current Growth Policy:
- If the Growth Policy is adopted, Park County will have a vision for managing growth in the
county determined through an extensive public visioning process. The county will also able to administer zone changes and variances in the “Donut” Zoning Area (4.5 mile zone around the City of Livingston). The
current suspension of the Growth Policy legally prevents zone changes or variances from being processed in the “Donut” Zoning Area.
- If the Growth Policy is voted down, a new (third) Growth Policy must be produced, through another public visioning process.
Citizens of Park County should review the 2006 Park County Growth Policy (links below) in preparation to cast their vote for or against the Growth Policy in November 2008. ____________________________________________________________________________
“The following document represents the results of Park County Montana’s current effort to create visionary direction in the form of a Growth Policy in complex social, political and economic times.”
