JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved the Northern South Park Neighborhood Plan during their July 5 meeting.
The approval included an amendment to the draft plan which would allow up to 1,800 residential units on the property—an increase from the original 1,318 units—and that the additional units shall include at least 70% of the units as deed-restricted workforce or affordable housing.
Upon approval, the Board directed staff to create zoning tools with incentives to allow more units depending on the percentage of deed-restricted units to be included. The system will be on a sliding scale with a minimum of 70% as a floor.
The zoning development and adoption of the zoning tools will be conducted by the Teton County and Town of Jackson Joint Long-Range Planning team and will include review during public hearings with the County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners likely next spring and summer.
The zoning tools will define the finer details of any future development including allowed uses such as single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, places of worship and childcare facilities. Zoning will also define the building’s design details including building height, setbacks, and density details.
In addition, the zoning tools will dictate the requirements for the deed-restricted units and any project phasing to ensure that the affordable units are constructed commensurate with any market-rate units on the property.
Approval of development plans and subdivisions will occur after the zoning is created and approved for this area.
The final version of the approved plan will be available soon, according to the County.
