SUB25-6 Subdivision

Wildflower Commons Apartment Complex - Concept Plan

SUMMARY: On June 26, 2025 Connect Engineering, on behalf of the owner Epic Endeavors, LLC, submitted an application for Concept Plan of a two phase Full Plat Subdivision consisting of 10 buildings with 24 units each totaling 240 units, 1 clubhouse with lounge space, ski/bike storage, and leasing/management offices, playground and park space on the 12.07 acre parcel (RPA00000261842) located just West of the high school with current access off of Ross Ave. The parcel falls within the Big Game Migration Corridors and Seasonal Range overlay.

The Developer is proposing 4 residential buildings and 1 clubhouse for multi-family residential apartments in Phase 1, and 6 residential buildings in Phase 2; in total proposing 240 units, proposes to dedicate public roads, and require extension and relocation of water and sewer mains.

The application requests reduced parking where Driggs LDC requires 2 stalls per unit, the applicant's request is for 1.5 stalls per unit. Access from the South is via Ross, access from the East is via future proposed Price Ave., and access from the North is via future proposed Dalley St. The submitted master plan proposes these 2 new internal public roads with the addition of access off Ross Ave, proposed Wildflower Way running North/South. The future land use map shows this area as “Medium Density Residential” (6-10 Units per acre).  The proposed density is approximately 19.9 units per acre. Per LDC 14.5.6 (B) Maximum Residential Density, anything above 7 units per acre in Medium Density Residential, requires approval of a Residential Density Bonus in exchange for Workforce or Affordable Housing Mitigations. 

APPLICABLE PLANS & ORDINANCES: Driggs Land Development Code (LDC) as adopted in Ordinance 459-23, Effective 2/15/2023

REVIEW PROCESS: 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. 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 will be reviewed by the Administrator. The Administrator 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 followed by 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 next step is Preliminary Plat. Per the Driggs LDC, a neighborhood meeting is required. The neighborhood meeting for this application will be scheduled for a future date. After the neighborhood meeting has been held, the PZC will consider the Preliminary Plat application at a future public hearing 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. 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.

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. Each phase must obtain Preliminary Plat and Final Plat approval independently.
