ZONING CODE UPDATE SERVICES

In 2021, Livingston adopted a Growth Policy to serve as a comprehensive guide for future
land use patterns and development decisions in the City. The overwhelming support received from the community during the Growth
Policy planning process, and since its adoption, attests to the importance of its vision for
future growth and development in the City. To provide the regulatory capacity to
implement the Growth Policy, the City’s zoning ordinance requires extensive updates to
effectively support the goals, objectives, and strategies identified in the Growth Policy.
Livingston, Montana has a current estimated population of 8,790 and is expected to grow
to over 10,000 by 2030. This anticipated growth coupled with unmet community housing
underscores the City’s urgency to update its zoning ordinance to not only facilitate
compliance with the Growth Policy, but also address the burgeoning demand for housing
to accommodate the increasing population.
