AX25-1 Annexation and Zone Change

Moran Meadows (fka Live Oak Springs)

SUMMARY: Live Oak Springs, LLC, represented by Sunrise Engineering, is requesting annexation of two parcels totaling 154.62 acres into the City of Driggs and assignment of RC-1.0-Residential Cluster zoning. The parcels are located north of the Shoshoni Plains Master Planned Development and just southeast of the Driggs Airport, within the City’s Area of Impact.

The conceptual development plan included with the application proposes 184 dwelling units, including both attached and detached single-family homes. The plan also details construction of streets, connection to City water and sewer, a pathway between Booshway St. and Teton Vista Dr., and 5.152-acres of open space. Approval of the annexation and rezone would not constitute approval of a final development plan.

Currently, the property is zoned AOI 2.5 – Area of Impact Zone 1. Under the requested RC-1.0 zoning, 154 homes would be allowed. The applicant is requesting a 20% density bonus to reach 184 units.

The site is located within both the Airport Traffic Pattern Area and the Big Game Migration Corridors and Seasonal Range overlays. It is bordered by the Shoshoni Plains and Ski Hill Ranch subdivisions to the south, Targhee Ranches to the east, and Sweetwater to the north. Along its western edge, the property meets Driggs city limits, where adjacent parcels are zoned Industrial Flex (IX) and Light Industrial (IL).

PROJECT HISTORY: A previous annexation request for the Live Oak Springs property was submitted in 2024. That proposal outlined a 207 unit residential subdivision with a mix of townhomes, detached homes, larger single-family lots, and approximately 7.5 acres of park space. At the time of the previous application, the land was zoned ADR-0.5 in Teton County, and the applicant was seeking annexation into the City of Driggs with an RS-7 zoning designation.

Throughout 2024 and early 2025, the applicant explored both the County’s subdivision process and the City’s annexation process. The subdivision concept plan was reviewed at a joint County and City Planning & Zoning Commission meeting in September 2024, where the item was tabled. The City received the previous annexation application in October 2024, and a neighborhood meeting took place in February 2025. At a public hearing the PZC recommended denial of the annexation and recommended zoning of RS-7 for the western parcel and RC1.0 of the eastern parcel to City Council. See the AX24-3 project page for more information about the previous proposal.

REVIEW PROCESS: A Neighborhood Meeting is required for annexation applications under Article 14.2.2 of the Driggs Land Development Code (LDC) and must take place before any public hearings. Annexations are also subject to Article 14.10.3, which includes the related Zoning Map Amendment process. The Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) reviews each annexation and the proposed zoning at a public hearing and provides a recommendation to City Council. City Council then holds a separate public hearing and makes the final decision. As part of the review, the PZC or City Council may request studies to assess potential social, economic, fiscal, or environmental impacts of the proposed annexation.
