PA24-5 Significant Plat Amendment

Sweetwater Ranch Phase 1 (Trulove) (AOI)

SUMMARY: Sunrise Engineering, on behalf of Dan Christensen, has requested a re-plat of a 61.20-acre parcel located in Sweetwater Subdivision, Phase I (RP00003000005B). The request is to amend lots 8-25 from 17 existing lots into 44 lots. This is considered a substantial plat amendment within the applicable Teton County Subdivision ordinance and AOI agreement. The parcel falls within Airport Overlays. The current zoning on this property is ADR-1.0--Driggs Impact Area 1.0-Acre Avg Density Residential. The ADR 1-0 zone district allows for single- and two-family dwellings but the Lateral Safety Zone (LSZ), an airport overlay, allows for aircraft hangar homes. The Lateral Safety Zone does not allow residential uses, except single family residences associated with an aircraft hangar. The Lateral Safety Zone affects most lots in this project site.

REVIEW PROCESS: This application is processed as a revised preliminary plat. The application was reviewed during a public hearing by the Joint Teton County and City of Driggs Planning & Zoning Commission (JPZC) on September 11, 2024 where the item was ultimately tabled for more information. The item will be considered at public hearing on June 11th by the JPZC.

APPLICABLE COUNTY CODE: Teton County Code Title 7 Chapter 1- Driggs Area of City Impact Ordinance specifies, under A.3., Teton-County Subdivision Regulations apply, with exceptions to include City of Driggs Subdivision Design Standards (Title 1, Chapter 4), City of Driggs Subdivision Improvement Standards (Title 10, Chapter 5), and City of Driggs PUD Regulations (Title 10, Chapter 6). Applicable County subdivision regulations are Title 9-7-1-B. Changes to Recorded Plats (revised 5/16/2013); City of Driggs Comprehensive Plan (dated January 19, 2010).
