Jackson council to hold hearing on biennial land rules update
On Oct. 19, the Jackson Town Council is set to take public comment and consider a text amendment package updating the town’s land development regulations on a regular two-year cycle.
The Jackson Town Council is set to hold a public hearing Oct. 19 on a proposed text amendment for the town’s Biennial Land Development Regulation Update (PM26-016), with a draft motion directing council to approve the package “based upon factors 1-6” in the Land Development Regulations meeting agenda and the Oct. 19 staff report materials agenda packet. The draft update frames the biennial effort as a housekeeping plus policy tune-up, saying staff use it to fix errors, clarify confusing sections, and address “unintended consequences and changing conditions.” Among the itemized changes in the packet are adjustments to subdivision review thresholds, landscaping rules (including limits in public rights-of-way), and codifying an exemption process for certain steep-slope disturbance on older residential lots agenda packet.
The record shows council last took up PM26-016 at a Sept. 28 special meeting, when it voted unanimously to continue the item to the Oct. 19 regular meeting Sept. 28 packet.
