This Division contains the development standards required for subdivision, such as requirements for new roads, water and sewer infrastructure, utilities, parks, and other physical improvements necessary to safely serve newly subdivided property and minimize impacts on existing community services and infrastructure. See Section 8.5.3 for the procedure to subdivide property.

Division number reserved, original Division deleted.

(7/18/18)

The tables below establish the development options allowed in each zone. The standards for each development option are established in this Division. The density and intensity requirements for each development option are located in the standards for the zone, found in Articles 2—4. The thresholds for permitting allowed development options are also established by zone.

A.

Intent.

1.

Purpose. The purpose of the Rural PRD is to encourage conservation of open space and clustering of development by granting more density in exchange for clustering and permanently conserved open space. The goal of the Rural PRD is to provide a rural area landowner with a subdivision option that is better for wildlife, scenery, and/or agriculture than just selling individual 35-acre tracts.

2.

Location. Each Rural PRD includes a conservation area and one or more development areas that are entirely outside the conservation area. The Rural PRD is the appropriate tool when locating both the conservation area and clustered development area(s) in a rural area of the community, as identified in the Illustration of Our Vision chapter of the Comprehensive Plan.

3.

Comprehensive Plan. The Rural PRD is primarily based on the Comprehensive Plan direction of Policy 1.4.c.

4.

Applicable Zones. The Rural PRD may be used in the R-1, R-2, WHB, and R-TC zones.

B.

Required Conservation Area. The conservation area shall meet the standards of Division 7.3 in addition to the standards of this Section.

3.

Noncontiguous PRD. The site of a Rural PRD may be noncontiguous pursuant to the rules for measurement in Section 9.4.4.

4.

Already Conserved Land. Land already under conservation easement shall not count toward the calculation of allowed dwelling units per PRD GSA in Subsection C.1 unless the dwelling units are already allowed by the conservation easement.

EXAMPLE:A 1970s conservation easement reserves two three-acre homesites on 55 acres. The base R1 zoning does not allow two units without approval of a PRD. The existing conservation easement may be used in a PRD application for the two units allowed by the easement, but may not be used to propose more than two units.

C.

Development Area Standards. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the permanent reduction, through conservation easement, of the development potential allowed in a development area.

EXAMPLE:A Rural PRD on 100 acres would require a minimum of 70 acres of conservation area and be allowed a maximum of 30 acres of development area (30:70 = 3:7). Eight principal residential units (3 * 100/35 = 8.57) would be allowed in the development area.

2.

Location. The development area shall be located adjacent to existing development when existing development abuts the Rural PRD site, unless better protection of the conservation value(s) would be achieved in another location.

3.

Access Across Conservation Area. Access to a development area that crosses a conservation area shall be counted as conservation area in calculation of the maximum development area.

4.

Physical Development Standards. Except as modified in this Section, the physical development standards applicable in the zone shall apply in a Rural PRD development area.

5.

Use Standards. Except as modified in this Section, the use standards applicable in the zone shall apply in a Rural PRD development area.

a.

Allowed Uses. In addition to the uses allowed in the zone of the Rural PRD, on lots in the development area of a Rural PRD all residential uses are allowed.

EXAMPLE:The eight units allowed in the previous example could be any combination of residential uses defined in Section 6.1.4 so long as each unit has only one kitchen.

b.

Maximum Scale of Residential Use. A residential unit shall not exceed 8,000 square feet of habitable floor area.

6.

Development Option Standards. Except as modified in this subsection, the development option and subdivision standards applicable in the zone shall apply in a Rural PRD development area.

a.

Condominium/Townhouse. Condominium or townhouse subdivision is a permitted subdivision option as part of a Rural PRD.

b.

Density Allowed Without Subdivision. The density allowed by a Rural PRD does not have to be subdivided into separate lots. However, approval of a Development Plan for a Rural PRD shall vest subdivision of the allowed density once the conservation easement is recorded.

A.

Intent.

1.

Purpose. The purpose of the Floor Area Option is to achieve conservation and stewardship of rural parcels on which landscape level clustering is not achievable, or whose owners are willing to relinquish subdivision rights in exchange for additional floor area. The intent of the Floor Area Option is that the stewardship, permanence, and additional limitations on development and use of the conservation area are of greater benefit to the conservation goals of the community than the impacts of the additional floor area.

2.

Location. The Floor Area Option is primarily intended for use on properties that cannot be subdivided but are large enough to provide conservation value to the community.

3.

Comprehensive Plan. The Floor Area Option is primarily based on the Comprehensive Plan direction of Policy 1.4.c.

4.

Applicable Zones. The Floor Area Option may be used in the R-1, R-2, WHB, and R-TC zones.

3.

Noncontiguous Floor Area Option. The site of a Floor Area Option may be noncontiguous pursuant to the rules for measurement in Section 9.4.4.

4.

Development Area Included. The reserved development area may be included in the conservation easement, as determined by the holder of the conservation easement. However, the standards of Division 7.3 shall only apply outside of the development area. Allowances within the development area are established in Subsection C.

5.

Already Conserved Land. Land already under conservation easement shall not count toward the calculation of additional floor area or ARUs per GSA in Subsection C.1 unless the development is already allowed by the conservation easement.

EXAMPLE:A 1970s conservation easement reserves a 8,000 sf home and 5,000 sf guesthouse on 55 acres. The base R1 zoning does not allow the reserved development without approval of a Floor Area Option. The existing conservation easement may be used in a Floor Area Option application for the development reserved by the easement, but may not be used to propose additional development.

C.

Development Area Standards. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the permanent reduction, through conservation easement, of the development potential allowed in a development area.

(1/1/15)

All divisions of land shall comply with the standards of this Section in addition to the standards applicable to all subdivision. Except that, condominium and townhouse subdivisions shall be subject to the standards of Section 7.2.4.

(1/1/15)

Condominium and townhouse subdivisions shall comply with the following standards in addition to the standards applicable to all subdivision.

A.

Final Plat Required. Condominium and townhouse subdivisions shall require approval of a Subdivision Plat pursuant to Section 8.5.3.

B.

Site Compliance. Conformity of the physical development and use of a lot of record to be subdivided into townhouse or condominium lots will continue to be determined based on the boundary of the site to be subdivided, not the boundaries of the resultant townhouse lots or condominium units.

C.

Townhouse Subdivision. Townhouse subdivision is the subdivision of land around the base of a unit that is intended to separate ownership of the units in a development while still retaining the character of a single, integrated development. A Townhouse subdivision shall be exempt from the minimum lot size requirement if the following standards are met.

1.

Common Element Interest Required. A lot of record may be subdivided into lots of less than the minimum lot size for the zone if each resultant lot retains an undivided interest in common elements of the lot of record.

2.

Maximum Lot Size. A townhouse lot shall not exceed 125% of the area of footprint of the approved unit.

3.

Building Official Review. The building official shall review and approve the proposed location of the townhouse lots.

(1/1/15)

A.

Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this Division is to establish standards for required conservation areas. The intent is to prioritize the use of certain best practices to ensure that a required conservation area achieves the community's goals for ecosystem stewardship identified in the Comprehensive Plan.

B.

Applicability. This Division shall apply to any physical development, use, or development option that requires a conservation area.

C.

Coordination. The prospective conservation easement holder should be involved in the process of conservation value identification and establishment of baseline inventory so that the conservation area configuration and inventory meets the needs of the easement holder as well as the requirements of these LDRs.

EXAMPLE:The land trust that will hold the conservation easement for a conservation area with wildlife value should be involved in the EA pre-application conference and alternatives analysis to ensure the habitat inventory and development area location meets its requirements as well as the standards of these LDRs.

(4/1/16)

A.

Conservation Values. Any of the conservation values listed below that are present in the conservation area shall be identified and protected by the conservation easement recorded pursuant to Section 7.3.4.

a.

Wildlife. Where wildlife habitats identified by Section 5.2.1 or Section 5.1.1 exist, protection of wildlife, wildlife habitat, and wildlife permeability shall be a conservation value.

b.

Scenic. Where scenic vistas identified by Section 5.3.2 exist, protection of those scenic vistas shall be a conservation value.

c.

Agriculture. Where active agriculture exists, protection of agricultural use of the site shall be a conservation value.

d.

Recreation/Access. If no other conservation value exists on the site, provision of public access and recreation shall be a conservation value. Granting of public access to a conservation area is not required when public access is not a protected conservation value. Recreation value alone can not be used to utilize the conservation development option.

B.

Baseline Inventory. A baseline inventory of the conditions, features, and characteristics that define each of the identified conservation values shall be established. The baseline inventory shall be established by submittal of one of the following studies for each conservation value identified; however the options of this Subsection do not exempt analysis required by these LDRs. The study establishing the baseline inventory shall be submitted as part of the application requiring a conservation area.

1.

Wildlife Values. When wildlife is a conservation value:

a.

The Natural Resources Assessment required by Section 8.2.2; OR

b.

A habitat inventory as described in Section 8.2.2, prepared by an environmental professional.

2.

Scenic Values. When scenic is a conservation value:

a.

The visual resource analysis required by Section 5.3.2(D); OR

b.

A visual resource analysis volunteered by that applicant prepared pursuant to Section 5.3.2(F).

3.

Other Value. When agriculture or recreation/access is a conservation value: a baseline analysis of the values of the conservation area provided by the applicant.

(5/1/25)

A.

Conservation Value Prioritization.

1.

When configuring a required conservation area, the identified conservation values shall be prioritized in the order listed in Section 7.3.2(A) with wildlife as the highest priority.

2.

The prioritization of values used to configure a required conservation area is not required to be included or enforced in the conservation easement recorded pursuant to Section 7.3.4.

B.

Configuration. A conservation area, and the associated development areas, shall be configured to meet the following standards.

1.

Configuration. The perimeter to area ratio of the conservation area shall be minimized to avoid decreased conservation value because the conservation area is small, isolated, fragmented, and/or extends into a development area.

2.

Conservation on Multiple Lots. A conservation area may cover multiple parcels or lots of record. In such a case, the conservation area on each parcel or lot of record shall meet the following standards:

a.

It shall be large enough to contribute to the conservation value of the conservation area.

b.

Contiguous parcels making up a conservation area shall not be separated by fencing or otherwise visually or functionally separated, except as may naturally occur or as permitted by the reserved uses set forth in the conservation easement.

c.

The reserved use provisions in the conservation easement shall be based upon the conservation values identified and shall not vary solely according to parcel or ownership boundaries.

3.

Clustering. Development areas should not to be surrounded by conservation area on all sides, and should be located adjacent to existing development if possible. Where possible, access should not cross conservation area.

EXAMPLE:A square development area located adjacent to a developed neighboring property so only three sides border the conservation area, is an obvious example of a regular shape that is not entirely surrounded and provides a clean delineation between development area and conservation area. A star shaped development area would have five fingers extending into the conservation area with no possibility of avoiding the conservation area surrounding the entire development area while also bringing five fingers of conservation area into the development area, which would limit the conservation value of those portions of the conservation area. The star shaped development area adds three times more perimeter to the conservation area than the square shaped development area.

C.

Connect Conservation Areas. The following criteria shall be considered in the configuration of the conservation area.

1.

Connection to any adjacent, existing conservation areas.

2.

The protection of the protected conservation value(s) identified in Section 7.3.2(A).

3.

Potential value that might result from future conservation of adjacent property.

EXAMPLE:A property with value as a north-south migration corridor is subject to a development option that requires conservation area. To the north is a property under conservation easement, to the south is a property that is not. In configuring the required conservation area the applicant shall consider: connection to the existing conservation easement, maximization of the wildlife value and the migration corridor, and linking that corridor to the point on the south boundary that best facilitates wildlife movement should the property to the south be placed under conservation easement in the future.

D.

Deviation.

1.

Applicability. Deviation from the following standards is permitted to meet the standards of this Section in order to allow improved landscape level conservation across property lines.

a.

Division 5.1. General Environmental Standards

b.

Division 5.2. Environmental Standards Applicable in Specific Areas

c.

Subsection 7.3.3(B), Configuration

2.

Process. The deviation shall be approved through the Administrative Adjustment process identified in Section 8.8.1.

(4/1/16)

A.

Stewardship and Restoration. Stewardship and restoration that enhances the conservation value(s) of the conservation area shall be allowed in the reasonable discretion of the grantee of the conservation easement or as expressly reserved in the conservation easement.

B.

Consistent with Conservation Value. Any physical development, use, development option, or subdivision allowed in a conservation area shall be consistent with the protected conservation value(s) identified for the conservation area.

1.

Physical Development.

a.

Construction Schedule. Physical development activities that are allowed in the conservation area shall be scheduled to limit impacts to the protected conservation value(s) of the conservation area.

b.

Limit Temporary Impacts. Physical impacts from temporary physical development or use shall be avoided to the extent practical through use of areas planned for permanent physical development or use. A temporary impact that cannot be avoided shall be restored consistent with the protected conservation value(s) of the conservation area.

EXAMPLE:Construction access across a conservation area to a development area shall follow the planned permanent access, rather than a secondary or alternate route. However, where burying of utilities cannot be accomplished under an area of permanent development the temporary physical development shall be reclaimed to the native state that existed prior to the disturbance.

2.

Use.

a.

Existing Conditional Use. Review of a proposed conservation area on the site of an existing conditional use may include review of the Conditional Use Permit to evaluate the cumulative impact of all permitted uses and development options on the site's open space as compared to the use of the site at its base residential density.

b.

Wildlife. When wildlife is a protected conservation value the following shall be considered.

i.

Domestic Pets. The impact of domestic pets on wildlife.

ii.

Chemical Use. Limited chemical use in order to minimize unnecessary and negative side effects on wildlife. This shall not be read to restrict the use of chemicals in support of agriculture or control of noxious weeds.

iii.

Motorized Vehicles. The effects on wildlife in determining off-road use of motorized vehicles.

c.

Grazing. Grazing shall be managed to maintain vegetation for wildlife foraging and avoid overgrazing.

d.

Recreation. Recreation shall be managed to be consistent with, and reduce impacts to, the protected conservation value(s).

(4/1/16)

The physical development, use, develop options, and subdivision of a required conservation area shall be restricted in perpetuity by a conservation easement, within the meaning of the Wyoming Uniform Conservation Easement Act (Wyo. Stat. § 34-1-201, et seq.), recorded with the County Clerk, and enforceable by a 'qualified organization' within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 170(h)(3). The conservation easement may be in such format as the qualified organization and the landowner may agree, provided that the following restrictions and provisions are included in the conservation easement:

A.

A legal description of the conservation area.

B.

Reference to the approved development permit and the additional development potential received.

C.

Statement of the protected conservation value(s) of the conservation area and any secondary conservation values; as well as the public benefit provided by the conservation area.

D.

An inventory of the conservation area conditions, features, and characteristics contributing to the identified conservation values.

E.

The affirmative right of the Grantee to conduct active monitoring of conservation values to ensure those values are successfully protected and maintained over time and to enforce those restrictions when necessary.

F.

Specification of the physical development, use, development options, and subdivision allowed in the conservation area; which shall comply with these LDRs, but may be less permissive.

G.

Prohibition of all physical development, use, development options, and subdivision not specifically allowed in the conservation area; and specification of other rights relinquished by the restriction.

H.

Grantor notice to the Planning Director of any amendment to the conservation easement.

(1/4/21)

Section number reserved, original Section deleted.

(1/6/20)

A.

Purpose and Findings.

1.

Purpose. The purpose of the Park Exaction is to ensure that new subdivisions include adequate land for parks and recreation in order to maintain the parks and recreation level of service in the community as growth occurs.

2.

Legislative Finding of Impact and Benefit.

a.

Parks and recreation services benefit the health of the environment and the community. Parks protect natural resources in developed areas and recreational services are important to the physical health of community members of all ages.

b.

In addition, the community has adopted a policy to provide public recreation opportunities on Town and County lands as way to reduce the impact of growth on surrounding federal lands with greater habitat and scenic value.

c.

Parks and recreation level of service is commonly measured by acres of parks per capita.

i.

The national median for communities with a population between 20,000 and 49,999 is 9.6 acres of parks per 1,000 residents. (2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review)

ii.

In 2016, the Jackson/Teton County community has 7.0 acres of parks per 1,000 residents.

d.

As growth occurs, population grows. From 2002 to 2018 the annual growth rate for residential units in Jackson and Teton County was 1.6%. Over that same period the population of Teton County grew at an annual growth rate of 1.4%, mirroring the growth in development.

e.

If acres of park land do not grow as population grows, parks and recreation level of service will decrease.

f.

As a result, the Board of County Commissioners finds that new residential development in Teton County needs to include land for new parks and hereby adopts this park exaction.

B.

Applicability. The requirements of this Section shall apply to any new lot of record that allows residential use.

1.

Includes.

a.

A new platted lot that allows residential use.

b.

An existing residential unit platted as a townhouse or condominium unit, for which an exaction has not already been provided.

c.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record that was created through exempt land division.

2.

Does Not Include.

a.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record created prior the adoption of a mandatory land dedication.

b.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record for which a mandatory land dedication has already been provided.

c.

Boundary Adjustment (Section 8.5.5) that does not result in any new lots of record.

d.

New lots of record with voluntary Affordable Housing or Workforce Housing deed restrictions as defined by the Housing Department Rules and Regulations.

EXAMPLE:A parcel that was created prior to 1978 is subdivided into three lots—the exaction applies to the two new lots being created, but not the pre-existing lot of record. An apartment building is built on an existing, conforming lot of record—no exaction applies because no subdivision is proposed. An existing apartment building is condominiumized—the exaction is applied to each condominium unit. A lot of record is created through exempt land division—the exaction for the lot is due at the time of building permit unless the exaction is paid at the time of exempt land division.

C.

Requirement. Each applicable subdivision in Teton County, as defined in Section 7.5.2(B) above, shall provide land to Teton County in an amount equal to 0.02 acres per new lot of record.

EXAMPLE:A subdivision creating 50 new lots of record shall dedicate one acre to Teton County (50 × 0.02 = 1)

1.

General Formula. The General Formula that yields the requirement is based on the Teton County target level of service and the average number of residents per dwelling unit constructed in Teton County.

a.

Teton County Level of Service. The median amount of parks per capita for a community the size of Jackson/Teton County is 9.6 acres per 1,000 residents. Teton County has maintained a target level of service of nine acres per 1,000 residents since at least 1986.

b.

Residents Per Dwelling Unit. The U.S. Census estimates that were 12,510 residents in the unincorporated County in 2017. The Planning Department counts 5,648 dwelling units in the unincorporated County in 2017.

c.

Calculation. Based on the above factors the requirement is calculated according to the below table.

2.

Update. The inputs into the general formula should be updated at least every five years.

3.

Independent Calculation. An independent calculation may be submitted that provides alternate values for either component of the general formula. The independent calculation may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners in a public hearing if the alternate values:

a.

Utilize verifiable local data and generally recognized principles and methods of impact analysis; and

b.

Rely on characteristics of the project type rather than the specific project.

D.

Provision and Use of Requirement.

1.

Dedication of Land. The first priority for fulfilling the requirement of this Section is the dedication of land.

a.

Identification. The land to be dedicated for parks shall be identified in the Development Plan application for any subdivision to which this Section applies.

b.

Criteria. The proposed dedication shall meet the following criteria. If the criteria cannot be met anywhere on the site, a fee-in-lieu of dedication shall be required pursuant to Subsection D.2, below.

i.

Size. The proposed dedication shall be at least one acre, unless otherwise found by the Board of County Commissioners to implement the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan. The applicant shall be allowed to provide a dedication of less than one acre through payment of an in-lieu fee pursuant to Subsection D.2, below.

The proposed dedication shall not include private yards, streets, parking areas not intended for park use, streetscape or landscape buffers, median strips, major utility easements over 30 feet wide, oil or gas well sites or setbacks, stormwater detention or water quality ponds deeper than five feet or with slopes steeper than 5:1, mine shafts or associated setbacks.

iii.

Infrastructure. Dedicated land shall be ready for development with roads, water supply, sewage disposal, telephone, electricity, gas (if available), and other basic services as applicable provided to the property line or guaranteed pursuant to Section 8.2.11. In no event shall the services be provided more than one year after the date of conveyance of the land to the County.

c.

Acceptance. The land shall be acceptable to Teton County at the discretion of Teton County.

i.

County Review. The Board of County Commissioners shall review acceptability on the basis of compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan.

ii.

Suitability. Where there is concern about the suitability of soils or other site conditions to support parks and recreation facilities, a report shall be prepared by a consultant deemed qualified by the County, at the applicant's expense, stipulating whether the land is suitable for the type of construction contemplated and stating any special construction techniques that will be necessary.

d.

Dedication. The land shall be dedicated to Teton County.

i.

Timing. The dedication shall occur at the time the subdivision Plat is recorded.

ii.

Conveyance. The conveyance shall utilize the County deed template.

iii.

Clear Title. Land conveyed shall have clear title, physical and legal access, and be free of any liens.

2.

Payment of In-Lieu Fee. Where land meeting the requirements of Subsection D.1 cannot be provided as part of a subdivision, a fee-in-lieu of land dedication shall be paid.

a.

Amount. The fee-in-lieu shall be equal to the required acreage multiplied by the median, per-acre, market land value (not including improvements) most recently established by the Teton County Assessor for private land in Teton County. The median, per-acre, market land value shall be available in the Teton County Planning Department.

b.

Timing.

i.

Subdivision. In the case of a subdivision, the in-lieu fee shall be calculated and paid at the time the Plat is recorded.

ii.

Nonconforming Lot. In the case of a lot of record created nonconforming to this Section, the in-lieu fee shall be calculated and paid at the time the first building permit on the property is issued.

c.

Use of Fee.

i.

Fund. Collected in-lieu fees shall be immediately deposited into an interest-bearing fund specifically designated for the requirements of this Section.

ii.

Refund of Fee.

a)

Unused Fees. An in-lieu fee that is not used by Teton County within seven years of collection shall be refunded upon request by the current owner of the lot for which the fee was paid. Notwithstanding, if the County earmarks the fees for expenditure on a specific project, the Board of County Commissioners may extend the time period by three additional years. Fees shall be considered used on a first-paid, first-used basis. The request shall be provided in writing to the Planning Director within one year of the end of the seventh year.

b)

Expired Approval. An in-lieu fee paid for an approval which has expired shall be refunded upon request by the current owner of the lot for which the fee was paid. The request shall be provided in writing to the Planning Director within three months of the expiration.

3.

Credit for a Private Park. Where private open space for park and recreational purposes is provided in a proposed subdivision, and such space is to be privately owned and maintained by the future residents of the subdivision, the acreage of such areas may be credited against the requirement of this Section, if the Board of County Commissioners determines that such a credit is in the public interest.

4.

Use of Dedication. The land or fee shall be used by Teton County for necessary parks and recreation facilities, which may include, but are not limited to, parks, recreation facilities, parks and recreation maintenance facilities, trails, pathways, and open space.

(1/23/23)

A.

Purpose and Findings.

1.

Purpose. The purpose of the School Exaction is to ensure that new subdivisions include adequate land for the provision of public education so that the level of service provided by Teton County School District can be maintained.

2.

Legislative Finding of Impact and Benefit.

a.

Enrollment in Teton County School District has grown as the number of dwelling units in Teton County has grown. Since at least 2002, enrollment in Teton County School District has grown at the same annual rate (1.6%) as the number of dwelling units in Teton County (1.6%).

b.

An increase in students requires an increase in school capacity. Teton County School District schools have capacity limits. As enrollment grows, schools have to expand to provide additional capacity.

c.

As a result, the growth in the number of dwelling units in Teton County has necessitated growth in school capacity. Continued growth will necessitate additional school capacity.

d.

Additional school capacity requires land dedicated to school function, which includes, but is not limited to, school buildings, support facilities, open space and recreation areas, and housing for employees and their families.

e.

With only one School District in Teton County any school land in Teton County benefits the entire School District. A new elementary school in one part of the School District frees capacity in other parts of the School District, benefiting the new development regardless of the development's location. Similarly, a centralized middle or high school benefits a development regardless of its location within the School District.

f.

As a result, the Board of County Commissioners finds that new development in Teton County needs to include land for new schools, and hereby adopts this school exaction.

B.

Applicability. The requirements of this Section shall apply to any new lot of record that allows residential use.

1.

Includes:

a.

A new platted lot that allows residential use.

b.

An existing residential unit platted as a townhouse or condominium unit, for which an exaction has not been provided.

c.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record that was created through exempt land division.

2.

Does Not Include:

a.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record created prior the adoption of a mandatory land dedication.

b.

Construction of one or more residential units on a lot of record for which a mandatory land dedication has already been provided.

c.

Boundary Adjustment (Section 8.5.5) that does not result in any new lots of record.

d.

New lots of record with voluntary Affordable Housing or Workforce Housing deed restrictions as defined by the Housing Department Rules and Regulations.

EXAMPLE:A parcel that was created prior to 1978 is subdivided into three lots—the exaction applies to the two new lots being created, but not the pre-existing lot of record. An apartment building is built on an existing, conforming lot of record—no exaction applies because no subdivision is proposed. An existing apartment building is condominiumized—the exaction is applied to each condominium unit. A lot of record is created through exempt land division—the exaction for the lot is due at the time of building permit unless the exaction is paid at the time of exempt land division.

C.

Requirement. Each applicable subdivision in Teton County, as defined in Section 7.5.2(B) above, shall provide land to Teton County School District in an amount equal to 0.01 acres per new lot of record.

EXAMPLE:A subdivision creating 50 new lots of record shall dedicate 0.5 acres to Teton County School District (50 × 0.01 = 0.5).

1.

General Formula. The General Formula that yields the requirement is based on Teton County School District configuration, acres per school established in the Wyoming School Facilities Commission, School Design Guidelines, February 2010 (or as amended), and school aged children per dwelling unit, as defined below.

a.

School Configuration. Teton County School District uses a school configuration that relies on geographically distributed elementary schools and centralized middle and high schools.

b.

Acres Per School. The Wyoming Schools Facility Commission has established the following general site size requirements.

i.

Elementary School. Four acres plus one acre for every 100 students.

ii.

Middle School. Ten acres plus one acre for every 100 students.

iii.

High School. Twenty acres plus one acre for every 100 students.

c.

School Children Per Dwelling Unit. Of the 2,862 students enrolled in Teton County School District in 2017, 1,457 lived in Town and 1,405 lived in unincorporated Teton County. In 2017, Teton County reported 5,648 dwelling units in unincorporated Teton County. 1,405/5,648=0.25 students per dwelling unit.

d.

Calculation. Based on the above factors the requirement is calculated according to the below table.

2.

Update. The inputs into the general formula should be updated at least every five years.

3.

Independent Calculation. An independent calculation may be submitted that provides alternate values for any of the three components of the general formula. The independent calculation may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners in a public hearing if the alternate values:

a.

Utilize verifiable local data and generally recognized principles and methods of impact analysis; and

b.

Rely on characteristics of the project type rather than the specific project.

D.

Provision and Use of Requirement.

1.

The median, per-acre, market land value shall be available in the Teton County Planning Department.

b.

Timing.

i.

Subdivision. In the case of a subdivision the in-lieu fee shall be calculated and paid at the time the Plat is recorded.

ii.

Nonconforming Lot. In the case of a lot of record created nonconforming to this Section, the in-lieu fee shall be calculated and paid at the time the first building permit on the property is issued.

c.

Use of Fee.

i.

Fund. In-lieu fees shall be collected by Teton County and immediately deposited into an interest-bearing fund specifically designated for the requirements of this Section.

ii.

Distribution. Teton County shall distribute the fees from the fund to Teton County School District within 30 days of receipt of a request. The request shall be submitted to the County Commissioners' Administrator and shall be approved if it is for a school facilities project, as defined below in Section D.3.

iii.

Refund of Fee.

a)

Unused Fees. An in-lieu fee that is not requested by Teton County School District within seven years of collection shall be refunded upon request by the current owner of the lot for which the fee was paid. Notwithstanding, if the Teton County School District earmarks the fees for expenditure on a specific project, the Board of County Commissioners may extend the time period by three additional years. Fees shall be considered used on a first-paid, first-used basis. The request shall be provided in writing to the Planning Director within one year of the end of the seventh year.

b)

Expired Approval. An in-lieu fee paid for an approval which has expired shall be refunded upon request by the current owner of the lot for which the fee was paid. The request shall be provided in writing to the Planning Director within three months of the expiration.

a.

Housing Restriction. If the School District uses dedicated land or funds for housing, the housing shall have a deed restriction that limits occupancy to School District employees and their families. The deed restriction may also allow the School District to allow occupancy by other members of the Teton County workforce as defined by the Housing Department Rules and Regulations.

(1/6/20)

A.

Purpose. The purpose of this Division is to control access to public roadways in a manner that maintains the safety, capacity, and function of the roadway, ensure adequate fire protection measures, and to provide standards for transportation facilities, including roads, streets, alleys, driveways, access easements, bridges, or pathways.

B.

Authority. Any additional standards listed herein as derived from the Fire Protection Resolution for New Subdivisions are authorized by Wyo. Stat. §§ 18-5-201 and 18-5-301, 1977, as amended, and based on the International Fire Code and the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code as adopted by Teton County, and other nationally recognized fire protection standards, such as those standards promulgated by the National Fire Protection Association.

C.

Applicability. The standards in Division 7.6 are applicable to any new Subdivision and the development or redevelopment of new Transportation Facilities on existing lots of records, including those created through an Exempt Land Division.

(8/1/25)

Direct vehicular access to collector and arterial roads shall be limited to ensure that the congestion created by turning movements is reduced to a minimum. All development shall meet the following standards:

A.

Residential Uses. Lots of record for individual detached single-family units shall take direct access to or from local residential streets and may take direct access to a collector or arterial road only if no other access options exist, and only if the developer is unable to provide a street for access to a public or private local residential street, due to site limitations such as but not limited to topography and sight distances.

B.

Other Residential Development. Other residential development of higher density shall take direct access to collector or arterial streets to avoid infiltration of lower density neighborhoods where available.

A.

Purposes. These standards are enacted to protect and promote the public health, safety and welfare, to protect Teton County's priceless environmental quality and scenic beauty, and to maintain and promote the efficient, cost-effective and safe movement of persons and goods in Teton County. The requirements and procedures herein are intended to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions, transportation routes, recreational pathways, and other development in the County in order to achieve the following purposes:

1.

Conformance with Highway Improvement Plans. To ensure conformance and coordination of land subdivision and other development with the highway improvement plans of the County and its municipalities, the State of Wyoming and federal land management agencies.

2.

Establish Standards. To encourage well-planned land subdivision and other development by establishing adequate standards for design and improvement of roadways and other pedestrian and vehicular movement systems. However, standards for transportation facilities shall not be used to justify the maximum density or intensity of a development. The achievable density or intensity shall be determined by other standards in these LDR and then the appropriate road shall be designed to serve the achievable density or intensity.

3.

Adequate Access. To ensure adequate access to all properties for fire, police and other vital services.

4.

Cost/Benefit of Facilities. To ensure a fair and just distribution of the costs and benefits of roadways and other pedestrian and vehicular movement systems within the County.

5.

Protect the Ecosystem. To locate and design transportation facilities that are sensitive to the environmental context in which they are located and which minimize impact to natural resources, wildlife and wildlife habitat.

B.

Jurisdiction. The territorial jurisdiction of these standards and regulations shall include all of the unincorporated lands within Teton County, Wyoming other than National Park, National Forest, National Elk Refuge lands or other lands not under County jurisdiction for the purposes of zoning regulation.

C.

Interpretation.

1.

The standards and regulations of this Section shall be interpreted and applied to create context sensitive designs for transportation facilities that will protect the natural and wildlife resources regulated by Division 5.1, Division 5.2, and Division 5.3, and avoid natural hazards regulated by Division 5.4. To accommodate context sensitive transportation facilities, these standards and regulations provide flexibility to the Teton County Engineer to grant exceptions to minimize environmental and wildlife impacts while providing for safe and functional movement of vehicles and nonmotorized travelers.

2.

The Teton County Engineer may grant exceptions to the standards and regulations contained in this Section pursuant to Section 8.8.1 when the exceptions allow a transportation facility appropriately scaled to the transportation demand of a proposed development or accommodate a context sensitive design that protects the natural and wildlife resources that are regulated by these regulations, provided the exceptions do not materially compromise public safety. In granting an exception the County Engineer must consider the following minimum criteria:

a.

Potential land uses and traffic volumes to be served by the road at build-out; and

b.

Compatibility with adjacent roadway sections; and

c.

Effect on non-motorized facility users; and

d.

Cumulative effect if an exception to more than one standard is requested; and

e.

Effect of the exception on the safety of residents, motorists and non-motorists; and

f.

Effect on level of service; and

g.

Accident data; and

h.

Protection of the natural and wildlife resources regulated pursuant to Division 5.1, Division 5.2, and Division 5.3 and the natural hazards regulated by Division 5.4; and

i.

Potential mitigation measures (including but not limited to, vehicle turn-outs, warning signs, mirrors at curves, guard rails, mandatory plowing or maintenance contracts, etc.) to address excepted standards or regulations; and

j.

Comparative cost of required standard or regulation versus exception request; and

k.

Minimum requirements for fire protection and fire apparatus access.

3.

Based on the Natural Resources Assessment, the County Engineer may require exceptions, and applications for development permits may request exceptions for the County Engineer's review. The County Engineer shall document all exception requests in an Exception Report, which shall include a description of the exception request and relevant standards and regulations, the County Engineer's determination, any required mitigation, and the basis for the Engineer's decision. All exception requests from the applicant shall be stamped by a registered Wyoming professional engineer and approved by the County Engineer. The County Engineer shall seek comment from the Teton County Road & Levee Manager, Fire Marshal and Planning Director in determining whether to grant or deny the exception request. The County Engineer shall distribute all completed Exception Reports to the Teton County Road & Levee Manager, Fire Marshal, the Planning and Building Services Director, and the applicant.

4.

The County Engineer's approval of an exception shall establish the standards to which a transportation facility shall be designed and constructed for the subject development.

5.

These standards and regulations shall apply to all roads within Teton County's jurisdiction. No standard or regulation of this Section is intended to repeal, abrogate, annul, impair or interfere with any existing resolution of the County, provided that where any standard or regulation of this Section imposes more stringent regulations, requirements or limitations than are imposed by any other resolution of Teton County or any statute of the State of Wyoming, then the standards and regulations of this Section shall govern.

D.

Functional Classification.

1.

All streets and roads in the unincorporated portions of Teton County shall be classified by functional type. Such classification shall establish a hierarchy, which separates roads by function and intensity of use in order to achieve safety and efficiency in road layout and design. In addition, a road of any classification may be designated by the Board of County Commissioners as a "Scenic Road" on the basis of its particular value to the County due to the scenic nature of its route, of the adjacent lands, or of views from the roadway. Such designation shall be by amendment of the Transportation Master Plan Map.

2.

As defined in these regulations and the typical A.D.T. in Section 7.6.4(K.1), the functional class hierarchy applicable in Teton County shall consist of the following road types:

a.

Arterial

b.

Major Collector

c.

Minor Collector

d.

Major Local

e.

Minor Local

i.

A Minor Local Roadway is a vehicular access serving at least five or more residential units, including accessory residential units, or as otherwise classified by the County Engineer per the anticipated traffic values.

Any new location for a federal, state, county, or local road, scenic road, highway corridor, equestrian trail, or bikeway not indicated on the map as of the date of these regulations, except for proposed streets, equestrian trails, and pathways within approved subdivisions or other projects, or roads on federal or state lands, shall require adoption by the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to the requirements for amendments specified in these LDRs.

F.

Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibilities. Nothing in the above Transportation Master Plan Map shall imply acceptance by Teton County for maintenance or other purposes of any road or street. Such acceptance shall be established only in accordance with Wyoming statutory procedures for adoption or vacation of County roads. Where a highway proposed for adoption as a County road does not meet the structural or right-of-way standards applicable to its classification, such adoption may or may not be conditional upon its improvement to meet those standards, at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners.

1.

Acceptance of Collectors. It shall, however, be the policy of Teton County to give primary consideration for acceptance and maintenance to those roads classed as major and minor collectors.

2.

Acceptance for Specific Need/Benefit. Arterials and most major collectors are the responsibility of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Roads on federal lands may or may not be the responsibility of the appropriate federal agency. Local roads are normally the responsibility of developers, private citizens, homeowners' associations or special districts. The County may, at its option and by official action, accept or provide maintenance on such streets where a specific county need or benefit is shown.

G.

(8/1/25)

A.

Road and Pathway Rights-of-Way. In any project requiring a permit, required rights-of-way for any arterial, major collector, or Pathway shown on the Transportation Master Plan Map and supporting documents, insofar as they may lie on or adjacent to the site of the proposed subdivision or development shall be dedicated to Teton County or to the State of Wyoming, as appropriate, for use as County or State roads, highways or pathways, based on the amount of demand created by the proposed development. Easement requirements beyond that demand must be acquired by the appropriate agency. Width of the required rights-of-way shall be as described in the table in Section 7.6.4, and on the Transportation Master Plan Map and other supporting documents. This requirement shall include dedication of any required additional rights-of-way for existing State or County roads lying within or adjacent to the site.

1.

Required Dedication. Where the site of a subdivision or other development is contiguous to or contains an existing or proposed arterial indicated on the Transportation Master Plan Map, the Board of County Commissioners may require dedication of additional right-of-way, to provide for access streets, bus stop or shelter locations, planting screens, walls, berms or other elements which may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties or to afford separation of local and through traffic. The extent of participation in the easement by the developer or landowner will be determined by the demands created by proposed development.

2.

Form of Dedication. Dedication of rights-of-way for County roads or pathways shall be in fee simple by a separate general warranty deed or quitclaim deed (when approved by the Board), by dedication on a recorded subdivision plat, or by a recorded easement, as required by the Board of County Commissioners.

3.

Dedication for State Highways. Dedication of rights-of-way for State highways shall be in a form determined by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. In lieu of dedication to the State of Wyoming for such highways, the Board of County Commissioners may approve the dedication of such required rights-of-way to Teton County, in conformance with the requirements above for dedication of County roads, for future transfer to the State of Wyoming as required.

4.

Timing of Dedication. Dedication of any required rights-of-way shall be completed prior to Subdivision Plat signature for any subdivision, or to issuance of the permit for any other project. However, for any permit for the master plan of a Planned Unit Development for which subdivision plats have not yet been approved or where the Board of County Commissioners determines that immediate dedication of right-of-way is not required or would disrupt continuation of agricultural activities, the required right-of-way may be set aside in a formal reservation for future dedication, including an accurate survey description of the required lands, to be recorded with the Clerk of Teton County. Where such a reservation has been recorded, it shall be binding on all future owners of the underlying property and shall so state. Such reserved right-of-way shall be dedicated to the County or State as described above upon application for Subdivision Plat signature for any subdivision including or adjacent to the right-of-way, upon the approval of any permit for construction activity on the site (other than such activity undertaken for agricultural or flood control purposes), upon its change of use from agricultural to any other use, or upon a finding by the Board of County Commissioners that the reserved right-of-way is required by the County or State for road or bikeway construction purposes.

B.
