Public Hearing: Land Development Code Amendments for Density Bonus Provisions

The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the Land Development Code to create a new article under Chapter 14—Driggs Qualified Workforce Housing Incentive Program. The program offers potential incentives such as density bonuses, increased height/lot coverage, and impact fee waivers for developments that provide deed-restricted workforce housing. The proposed amendments set standards for affordability, unit mix, quality, and timing; allow payment-in-lieu options, and update Section 15.10.4 (Annexation) and previous articles within Chapter 14 that refer to the existing density bonus provisions accordingly. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the ordinance during a public hearing on September 10th where they ultimately made a recommendation of approval to City Council. City Council will consider the proposed Ordinance and make a final decision. Further information regarding this application can be found online here: https://driggsidaho.org/projects/amd25-1
