Question Title

* 20. Road Maintenance:
Park County is a pass-through county with a very low mil levy, low property taxes, and very little commercial development to fund roads, bridges, infrastructure, sheriff (only patrols an 12-hour shift) and other amenities. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI ) scores are failing for roads across the county. Park County recognizes that road maintenance is a significant issue. The budget for road maintenance comes mostly from HUTF funds (from taxes paid on gas), and state and federal grants - and the Road and Bridge Department is allocated a portion of the County’s general fund.

Question Title

* 22. Industrial Zone
Where should industry, mining, asphalt, etc. be permitted?

Park County needs places where industrial uses can take place. This includes things like an asphalt plant, mining, processing materials, and other activities that create truck traffic, noise, odors, dust and vibrations.
Such activities should generally be discouraged in or adjacent to population centers, yet the jobs and products they create depend on proximity to population centers, major transportation routes and other resources.

Park County is looking for guidance in how to regulate the siting of industrial uses. Considering larger parcels that are not in or directly adjacent to a residential zone, but that are near a major road and within 1-3 miles of a town center. Industrial zones are typically locations that have been chosen for having less potential impact on residents, but still close to transportation facilities and where potential labor will commute from. Industrial sites are selected to minimize impacts, but it is often a challenge to accommodate industrial uses and completely mitigate all impacts.


For this question, consider a use such as an asphalt plant, a meat processing facility, a gravel pit, power station or similar industrial use that may cause noise, traffic and/or odors.

An Industrial zone or operation should:

The County cannot control whether or not the population grows or whether or not Park County will continue to be an attractive destination for tourists, new residents and businesses.
