Draft Implementation Zoning

I hope as part of this Traffic Impact Study, a specific Traffic Signal Study and Speed Study could be conducted along S. Hwy 89. A busier highway has led to more dangerous intersections here (Stellaria and Whole Foods) and with even more traffic from further development I hope a full assessment of needs will be considered in order to comply with WYDOT requirements for making changes/improvements.

The East-West connection road should be built in the first phase as this would be standard to a development of this scale.

There shouldn't be anymore single family detached homes if you want to truly be inclusive and reduce carbon foot prints.

This road must be built before any housing construction starts to be used as a construction road. This will keep industrial traffic of of High School Road. Not a suggestion. It is a must.

High School Road should be protected for school students.

Does this mean park exactions can be moved out of restricted housing areas by developers?

delete reduced parking, bad idea. There is never enough parking in Jackson.

no Parrellel parking for snow removal reasons.

parking, each unit must have 1.5 designated parking space or garage space for each bedroom in each Unit. Space must be set asside for snow removal No on street parking for snow removal. Parks must have designated parking lot spaces for each park.

reverse high intensity near high school road and low intensity to the south. Build a new road south of the development prior to any construction for safety of childen on HS road. Restrict all construction vehicals from using High School Road for child safety.

10 Percentage of property should be set asside for a furture school if needed.

Square footage of Parks, trails, and park space South of HS road must meet or exceed square footage of Parks South of High School road.

Denisity of dwelling units cannot exceed density on the north side of High School Road per acre. (Between High scool road and South Park loop vs NSP1 and NSP2.)

No construction Until a road is added from south edge of NSP1 and NSP2 connection to Hwy 89. Needs to be built first. Existing roads cannot handle the increased traffic.

With so much development and traffic being planned for High School Road, this is a timely report. (Link below) NSP needs a proven transportation plan for High School Road. This can and must be used as a design guide. Please read it. Even though there are references to the pandemic, the SCHOOLS STREETS initiative's main goal now is to put children first in neighborhoods, towns and cities where schools are located.The rewards are many. Improved safety, more biking and walking, more social interaction and less air and noise pollution. With all the schools and soon to be built college campus along High School Road, it should be redesigned as a SCHOOL STREET. When you add in the Northern South Park Plan, it is imperative to ensure that kids from both sides of High School Road will find it a safe crossing. A true neighborhood road, not a collector and cut through road to be widened, enabling even more traffic, resulting in a dangerous no child is safe road. The way the draft plan reads now, that's exactly what will happen. Especially, if High School Road is used as a cut though for the Tribal Trail Cutoff and an NSP construction road for the next 10 to 15 years out, entering and exiting from across Cornercreek Lane and Rangeview Drive. We cannot wait till the middle of the NSP development timeline to build an East West Connector Road. It has to be put in before the first unrestricted and or restricted home building permit is pulled, if the plan goes forward. Better yet, build out town first, following the goals of Teton County Comprehensive Plan. “SCHOOL STREETS reduce pollution, improve safety, provide additional space for social connections and play, and encourage walking and cycling (and reduce vehicle use) – supporting safe and healthy routes to school. One of the strengths of school streets is that they are regular, and children can get into a new routine, with the impact of permanently changing behaviors." link

Make sure these correspond to permanent deed restrictions

This does not seem like an enforceable standard. Please codify integration more specifically.

The phasing of the deed-restricted and free-market homes needs to be explicitly linked here. The Commission was talking about a "backstop" idea this summer, but there wasn't one that was agreed upon by the landowners. The community needs assurance that the deed-restricted homes will be built in proportion (or before!) free-market homes.

The landowners are providing the infrastructure needed for the 45 acre conveyance on the west parcel, correct?

Need integration and phasing of deed-restricted/free-market units explicitly codified in these LDRs

Since different developers use different deed restrictions, please clarify what "affordable" means here, along with 30% Workforce and the difference between these permanent restrictions.

Overall I feel this is to much density for an area of town/county that already has its share of density.

Make the developer build the Affordable/deed restricted units

As a home owner and full time resident of Cottonwood. you really need to distribute the density. As of now the landowners/developers just appear want to proceed asap and feel handicapped by even being subjected to LDR's. See media on the state work shop. As every other area in town, auto/truck parking will be an issue as will egress times on High School road ( as I fully expect this to proceed prior to east west connector). I would image that if this begins with out better egress options a light will be needed on HIgh School road ?

The east west connector needs to be done prior to any start of this.

Also concerned about the vague language here—what does "timely manner" mean?

Hoping more community engagement can take place around any non-residential uses for the area based on community need.

Pathways?

Is it assumed pathway maintenance will be taken over by TC?

I would need to relook at 6.2.5, but this area, particularly the higher intensity side near transit options, may be a good place to reduce parking minimums in lieu of a developer providing other TDM sources. Charlotte Frei would have better insight.

Might be worthwhile to note where the new development potential numbers are coming from/ how we got to those numbers, and if it's related to the comp plan's housing unit numbers. Good point of reference in case it ever needed to change in the future.

Do not let all that traffic on high school rd they need a road out to highway 89-191 not South Park road our high school road already maxed out

An issue that should be covered more is the construction phase. Will High School Road be used as the main route for all the construction vehicles? This could go on for years impacting our Cottonwood Park neighborhoods and school zones. The East West Connector should be built at the beginning of development to take the construction traffic. The draft plan does mention the E/W Connector with a first permit pull. But it doesn't elaborate too much on it.

Corner Creek Lane has 1 exit only and it's on to High School road. We either need the Northern south park entrance to High School road to have a 4 way stop or move it elsewhere. It takes a long time for us to get out of Corner Creek during school traffic times without the Northern south park traffic adding to it. Rangeview has 3 exits.

A few major concerns and what should be done to protect established High School Road neighborhoods. "Use of conveyed land. Land conveyed shall be used for the development of deed-restricted housing units of an amount and type consistent with or exceeding the requirements of this Section. Additional local neighborhood nonresidential uses, pathways, alleys, parks and other uses allowed in the Northern South Park Development Standards may also be developed on the land, subject to Development Plan approval, if such uses and improvements do not interfere with provision of the affordable and workforce housing allocation." Does this mean that parks can be omitted on conveyed land to allow for the affordable deed restricted and workforce restricted market rate homes? "Neighborhood Design Requirements "3. Development Intensity. Highest intensity development and use shall be located along the northern edge of the Northern South Park Incentive Overlay, closest to High School Road and Jackson Hole High School. The least-intense development shall occur along the southern edge of the overlay, and a transition in intensity from north to south shall provide a step-down in intensity across the Overlay, as illustrated in the Northern South Park Neighborhood Plan. [[[[ a. High Intensity development and use shall be located closest to parks, transit, and other amenities."]]]]] This sounds like the more intense development pushed up against High School Road, as represented in the plan's layout of dense housing location, shall take advantage of Rangeview and Cottonwood Parks. How can this work with the small amount of parking spaces in each park, also that Rangeview Park was sized for the already established West Jackson neighborhoods, plus the fact that Cottonwood Park on Cornercreek is financially maintained by our neighborhood? Will we be subsidizing the new dense neighborhood by paying higher HOA fees to keep up our park on Cornercreek for more users, just so the new neighborhoods can get away with postage stamp size parks? The lowest intensity, expensive, free market homes, going South will have more open space afforded to them. This gives the appearance of classism. Also in the Northern South Park Plan Standards that came out yesterday... Depending on when the East West Collector will be built, sooner or later, High School Road will still act as a main collector, therefore, according to the standards, shall be widened to accommodate all the new traffic. They don't mention the Tribal Trail Cutoff traffic. There will be a traffic study according to the document. It needs to include the TTC This plan is treating our neighborhoods separately, but it wants to use, High School Road, our existing neighborhood road with 5 schools, for their infrastructure purposes. Making HSR a large collector road will be dangerous for school children and further physically and symbolically separate the new and old neighborhoods. To repeat, because it needs to be emphasized that this plan is treating the new and old as separate neighborhoods, but it wants to use our existing town and HOA parks on Rangeview and Cornercreek, so it doesn't have to build the parks NEEDED for the intense development along High School Road. This will add extra costs and stress on our neighborhoods to satisfy the plan's new neighborhood standards. We need to push for a plan that demands High School Road remain a neighborhood and academic road. Turn HSR into a narrow 2 lane road with separated walkways, bike paths and landscaping that acts as traffic mitigation to deter cut through traffic from the Tribal Trail Cutoff and other new traffic from 89 that will be servicing any of the the proposed new high end homes. Make sure the East West Connector Road is built 'when the first building permit is pulled' and it is paid for by developers. With a more kid, school and family High School Road, the two neighborhoods, old and new will be treated as one neighborhood that enjoys walkable, bikable streets and transit together. This should also include a central park that the old neighborhood, new neighborhood and schools could enjoy together, as one, along High School Road. It should be the depth of the new CWC campus next to the high school, extending to South Park Loop Road. As large as the two ranch parcels in the standards document are, this can and should be done. Then connect North/South facing open space wildlife corridors to the East/West High School Road park. This allows for the movement of wildlife throughout Rangeview, Cottonwood and new neighborhoods, again, unifying the whole area. I believe we all really need to pay attention, so we aren't sacrificing our standard of living in existing neighborhoods and wind up subsidizing developers. If this is to be done with inclusivity in mind the plan needs to treat the new neighborhood and existing as one. As it reads right now, the plan is pilfering the existing neighborhoods to make the new, exclusive and cut off. Finally and most importantly... We must build out town first as it states in the Teton County Comprehensive Plan. Kathy Tompkins

Assuming the intent is for these units to be built simultaneously or just not after all market rate. Perhaps we could add clarity here to ensure that's what we see in a phasing plan.

I'm not sure if this has potential to be problematic. If there's any question, I would maybe try to expand on "Good Faith Efforts"

Do other parts of the LDR give better guidance for what improvements would be "necessary" from the TIS? I could see this being a point of contention.

We should ensure that the capital improvements plan, even if phased, will ensure services throughout. I assume anyone submitting a master plan would suggest phasing for either tract. Or perhaps we want to be specific with no more than 4 phases per tract.
