SUB25-3 Subdivision
Corona Valley Subdivision - Preliminary Plat

PROJECT SUMMARY: Connect Engineering, on behalf of the current owner, LLKM Properties, LLC, submitted an application for Preliminary Plat for a planned subdivision on an undeveloped parcel east of Teton High School on E. Ross Ave. and Booshway St. The parcel (RPA5N45E254200) is zoned RS-7 Single and Two-Family Residential. The Preliminary Plat application proposes the creation of 180-unit residential subdivision consisting of 32 single-family detached lots and 148 attached two-family/townhome lots (total of 180 dwelling units) on 38.803 gross acres. The resulting gross density is 4.64 dwelling units per acre. Construction is proposed in four phases, each designed to be fully independent with respect to streets, water, sewer, stormwater, and emergency access. The proposed master plan shows 10 new internal public roads. Access from the South is via Ross Ave, access from the East is via Booshway St, and access from the North is through Cowboy Trail via LeGrand Pierre. Comanche Avenue and Cowboy Trail will be 60-ft ROW residential collector streets and all other internal streets are 54-ft ROW local streets. The application shows the drainage lot is sized for use for a soccer field with space for an additional field to the north.
PROPERTY SURROUNDINGS: The 40-acre parcel is located in an area experiencing active residential development. The Bear Run and Belle Vue Subdivisions are currently under development to the north, while Shoshoni Plains continues to expand to the northeast. In the past, this parcel—like others in the area—was used for winter trail access through an agreement between the City, the previous property owner, and Teton Trails and Pathways. The property’s northern boundary includes a right-of-way that is expected to develop into a future arterial street, which will be considered as part of this application.
PROPERTY HISTORY: In 2021, a previous owner applied to subdivide the 40-acre property to develop Rivers West Subdivision- 166 lots designed for single family attached homes and 10 fourplex apartment buildings, which would have required a zone map amendment or PUD. Following public hearings, the City Council unanimously denied the application in April 2022, citing concerns related to transportation plan conformance, code compliance, traffic impacts, park planning, and maintenance details. The applicant requested reconsideration, which Council reviewed in June 2022 and upheld the original denial. More information is available here: SUB21-4 Rivers West Subdivision - Preliminary Plat
APPLICABLE PLANS & ORDINANCES: This application will be processed through the Full Plat Subdivision process (Art. 14.5.6) and considered a Large-Scale Subdivision (Art. 14.5.11) The proposed subdivision is a part of a larger area intended for Development, so the Master Plan will be considered alongside the application.
REVIEW PROCESS: The code effective at time of submission (1/9/26) of the complete preliminary plat application are: The Land Development Code adopted by Ordinance 492-25, Effective 11/26/25, the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, and the 2025 Transportation Plan.The application constitutes a Full Plat Subdivision (Art. 14.5.6 of the LDC). Full Plat approval is a three-step process. The proposal is a part of a larger area intended for Development, so the Master Plan will be considered alongside the application, and is considered a Large-Scale Subdivision (Art. 14.5.11 of the LDC).
Full Plat approval is a three-step process:
The first step is Concept Plan Review. The Concept Plan application is be 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. 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, this submittal was presented to the PZC during a public meeting on October 8, 2025, where the commission reviewed the proposal and offered comments. 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.
The next step is Preliminary Plat. As a large-scale subdivision, the following information will be required to be submitted with the Preliminary Plat: a quantified analysis of impacts on public services that would be provided to the development, including a traffic impact analysis; estimate public service costs to provide adequate service to the development; estimate of tax revenue that will be generated from the development; suggested means of financing the services for the development if the cost for the public services would not be offset by tax revenue received from the development.
Per the Driggs LDC, a neighborhood meeting is required. The Neighborhood Meeting for this application was held on November 17, 2025.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the Preliminary Plat application during a public hearing on March 11, 2026, where the item was ultimately tabled for more information. The PZC will consider the application again during a public hearing on May 13, 2026, where they will have the opportunity to make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will 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 the proposed Corona Valley Subdivision, the Master Plan of future phases must be submitted with the first phase. Each phase must obtain Preliminary Plat and Final Plat approval independently.
