Shoshoni Plains Ph VI - Preliminary Plat

SUMMARY: Shoshoni Plains is a Master Planned Development, with an approved Master Plan. The proposed revised Master Plan has been updated to include the relocation of Phase VI, now planned north of LeGrande Pierre Ave., with subsequent phases completing the northern portion of the remaining master plan. Additional updates to the Master Plan for Shoshoni Plains include rearranging and resizing parcels and realigning roads and open space. The revised submittal shows Phase VI located on a 59.3 parcel, and proposes to accommodate 20 residential lots and the extension of Cahuilla Ave., Guardian Peaks Ln. and LeGrande Pierre Ave. for access. The submittal shows lots ranging from about .22 acres to 0.57 acres in size. The revised Phase VI submittal proposes approximately 2.89 acres of park space, along the western and southern borders. The project area is zoned RC-0.5 Residential Cluster and is within the Natural Resource Overlay, specifically the Big Game Migration Corridor and Seasonal Range.

The applicant’s proposal includes information on changes to the Master Plan which was last approved and updated in 2022. The new Master Plan decreases total lot sizes to an average of 13,500 SF per lot. The acreage is distributed into open space around the permitters of the development, along LeGrand Pierre Ave and a 4.81 acre park in phase XI. The future land use map shows this area as “Single Family and Two Family (2-5 Units per acre).

BACKGROUND: The first phase of Shoshoni Plains and the original Master Plan were approved and platted in 2005. Since that time, Phases II, III, IV, IVA, and IVB, V have been platted. The Phase V Project Area was initially included within Phase IVB, however, in 2018-2021, Phase IVB was amended and that particular area was vacated, although the water systems had already been installed. During this time, the Master Plan has guided the development of the Shoshoni Plains Subdivision. The Master Plan shows total of 382 lots to be platted.  So far, within Phases I through V, 188 lots have been platted.

In March of 2024 the applicant submitted a Concept Plan for Phase VI, along with a proposal to update the approved Master Plan. City Staff issued a review memo on May 5, 2025 and the project was reviewed by Driggs Planning & Zoning Commission on May 14, 2025, where they made a positive recommendation for the proposal. A neighborhood meeting was subsequently held presenting both items to the public on June 2, 2025, at Driggs City Council Chambers. On July 10, 2025, the applicant submitted a revised Phase VI Concept Plan and revised Phase VI and revised updates to the Master Plan based on feedback received from the public, staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission. A preliminary plat application was received on October 27, 2025, with updated materials submitted in December of 2025..

REVIEW PROCESS: This proposal constitutes a Full Plat Subdivision per §14.5.6 of the Driggs Land Development Code (LDC). Full Plat approval is a three-step process.

The first step is Concept Plan Review. 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. As such, the submittal received in March of 2025 was reviewed by the PZC during a public meeting Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. The updated Concept Plan application reviewed by the Administrator. The Administrator.

The next step is Preliminary Plat. Per the Driggs LDC, a neighborhood meeting is required. The neighborhood meeting for this revised application was held on October 20, 2025. The PZC will consider the Preliminary Plat application at a public hearing on January 14, 2026 and provide a recommendation to the City Council. City Council will then hold a future public hearing and make a final decision on the preliminary plat application.

Finally, Final Plat approval is granted from the City Council after all improvements have been installed and inspected. All recommendations and approvals require public hearings except for the Final Plat. (See Article 14.1, Summary of Review Authority). For phased development, such as Shoshoni Plains, the Master Plan of future phases must be submitted with the first phase.
