Planning Commission to review 559-unit Northern South Park plan

The Teton County Planning Commission is set to review JHHR Holdings I LLC’s Development Plan for Northern South Park Area 1, a 17-block layout totaling 559 dwelling units on Rural-1 land southeast of High School Road and South Park Loop. Staff describe the site as “primarily of vacant agricultural lands,” and the plan leans on the Northern South Park Incentive Overlay to shift most of the buildout into deed-restricted housing through conveyance of 10 blocks to the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust or Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area. agenda staff report packet

A big thing to watch is how the commission handles off-site transportation mitigation and timing. The staff report puts the estimated Area 1 traffic impact fee responsibility at about $3.5 million, and lays out two paths: fees paid over time at building permits, or having the applicant build a package of improvements such as a South Park Loop Road and High School Road roundabout and pieces of the High School Road pathway work, with the county responsible for any added easements needed. staff report packet
