APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS:

Overview

This application constitutes a Full Plat Subdivision. The Developer is proposing a six-lot residential subdivision for single-family homes on approximately 0.53 acres at 65 N. 4th Street. The proposal includes two 20-foot-wide access lanes, Roersk Lane and Skerro Lane, off-street parking, a fire apparatus turnaround, sidewalks and street trees along 4th Street, and extensions of the water and sewer mains to serve the proposed lots.

Applicable Plans & Ordinances The codes and plans effective at time of submission of the application are: The Land Development Code for Driggs Idaho Adopted by Ordinance 374-16, Effective 9/29/2016; Last amended by Ordinance 502-26, Effective 7/15/26, the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, and the 2025 Transportation Master Plan. The application is being processed through the City’s Full Plat Subdivision process (Art. 14.5.6).

Full Plat approval is a three-step process: Concept Plan Review, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat:

Concept Plan Review
The first step is Concept Plan Review. The Concept Plan application is reviewed by the Administrator who will advise the subdivider in writing as to the general conformance or non-conformance with the applicable code. The review may include official and unofficial comments on policies and guidelines from the P&Z Commission in the implementation of various development ordinances such as the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code, and similar plans or programs. The developer submitted a Concept Plan to the City of Driggs on December 8, 2025. The Concept Review Memo was issued to the applicant on January 27, 2026.

For large or complex proposals the Administrator may, at their discretion, present the Concept Plan to the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) for review and comment. If a preliminary plat application has not been submitted within 9 months after the Concept Plan Review has been issued, then a Concept Plan Review must be resubmitted.

Preliminary Plat Review

The next step is Preliminary Plat. The application will be considered for a public hearing with the Planning & Zoning Commission. The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider the Preliminary Plat application at a future noticed public hearing and will make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will hold a future public hearing and make a final decision on the Preliminary Plat application.

                 Current Status: The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider the Preliminary Plat application during a future public hearing.

Final Plat Review

The final step in the Full Plat Subdivision process is Final Plat. Final Plat approval is granted from the City Council after all Preliminary Plat improvements have been installed and inspected. All recommendations and approvals require public hearings except for the Final Plat. City Council reviews and has the opportunity to approve Final Plat applications during a public meeting (See Article 14.1, Summary of Review Authority).
