Teton County and the Town of Jackson intend to enter into a contract with a consult who will provide services related to the update of the requirements in the County and Town Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that developers must provide housing as part of new development to mitigate the need for housing generated by development. The purpose of the Housing Requirements LDR Update is to align the requirements in the LDRs with the community’s housing policies as stated in the Comprehensive Plan and Housing Action Plan.

• Primary LDR Divisions to be updated:
  • 6.3. Employee Housing Requirements
  • 7.4. Affordable Housing Standards
• Comprehensive Plan Strategies implemented by Project:
  • 5.3.S.2: Update current mitigation requirements as necessary.
• Housing Action Plan Actions potentially implemented by Project:
  • Update the mitigation requirement for residential development to a simpler standard based on floor area.
  • Update the mitigation requirement for commercial development to a standard that mitigates for year-round employee generation.
  • Ensure Town and County requirements work together as a single, simpler system.
  • Explore limits on the rate of residential and nonresidential growth to limit employee
