The plan shows 12,327 square feet of nonresidential floor area on the first floor and 14 ARUs on the second floor on a 0.76-acre lot in the South Park Business Park subarea.

Planning staff said the development plan is generally consistent with an earlier sketch plan and meets applicable Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The county’s affordable workforce housing mitigation calculation required 1.322 units, which the applicant has rounded up to record two deed restrictions: one 1-bedroom and one 2-bedroom affordable workforce unit, to be recorded with the Teton County Clerk prior to certificate of occupancy. The remaining ARUs will be deed-restricted as workforce housing (no income restriction language specified in the meeting summary) in forms acceptable to the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department.

Parking was a central point of discussion. Staff reported the LDRs allow shared parking between compatible residential and nonresidential uses; the LDRs provide tables for shared-parking percentages tied to affordable workforce housing. For this project the code-required parking for the nonresidential uses tallied to 21 spaces; the applicant is providing 28 counted spaces (including one accessible space) and additional uncounted tandem trailer/overflow spaces. Commissioner Gardner and others expressed concern that in practice some bays are used for equipment or business operations and that on-street parking in the area is heavily used, so shared parking may not always meet demand. Staff and the applicant said they expect on-site management (including the possibility of owner-managed parking controls) to reduce conflicts and noted law enforcement and towing remain options for illegal on-street parking.

The applicant requested an alternate development-plan expiration of five years to submit a building permit; planning staff recommended, and the board approved, a three-year alternate expiration to submit a sufficient commercial building permit. The board’s motion included the findings recommended by the planning director and three conditions: (1) two ARUs (one 1-bedroom, one 2-bedroom) shall have affordable workforce housing deed restrictions recorded with the Teton County Clerk prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy in a form acceptable to the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department; (2) all remaining ARUs shall have workforce housing deed restrictions recorded prior to certificate of occupancy in a form acceptable to the Affordable Housing Department; and (3) the development plan shall expire three years from the date of approval unless the applicant has submitted a sufficient commercial building permit.

Applicant Jeff Lawrence said the owner intends to lease shop spaces and ARUs together where feasible and is prepared to implement site management to reduce parking conflicts. Chandler Windham, senior planner, presented staff findings and explained how the proposal satisfies floor-area, setback and natural-resource-overlay standards.

Commissioner MacKer moved to approve the development plan with the conditions described above; Commissioner Gardner seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

(Ending) Staff advised the mitigation deed restrictions must be recorded prior to certificate of occupancy; the development plan approval authorizes the applicant to proceed toward building permit submittal under the three-year alternate expiration approved by the board.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Teton County - Regular Mtg - Feb 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Teton County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved Feb. 4 a development plan for mixed-use light industry and heavy retail service at 555 West Elk Avenue that includes 14 accessory residential units and requires two deed-restricted affordable workforce units.","taxTitle","Teton County, Wyoming","taxId",63785,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684127,"Teton County approves up to $290,000 in energy mitigation funds for Stillson Transit Center solar and upgraded glazing",698,546000,1244000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2218841-fe380dbe54d77bf2865517357e594bbf&start=546&end=1244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2218841-fe380dbe54d77bf2865517357e594bbf/thumbnail_546000.jpg","/articles/6684127/Teton-County/Wyoming/Teton-County-approves-up-to-290000-in-energy-mitigation-funds-for-Stillson-Transit-Center-solar-and-upgraded-glazing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684127-1f71a60d0fccd60e146f670737d5aa25/orig.mp4?Expires=1773725936&Signature=hZ~n2cTRCdm8w8M5KiXEYcXC0qw2FrOIA4xSamsqFjsbNEo2oUGmUYm5x4iIH-KDyr8GC-NHJiZPTHDv~p3FIMcgNRNSXKPva-eQ0KaZS7tgrHp1lC35jS-~H9R1amFoxTIbwMnbIaRORyhbcAdokukB5ryOiSh5yA~WaoLsvhd8uD-U4o80flH7zIdZNnkxbKl8-eBTPmGNpo2j0OJJqXtq3XS0-IhoaUgls0uemzRwV0j3htB43ZkUcgEIdUAGqy5kwRhLGMg~00ElD2fZBLQlfwUk3xIrBF1-il1yFm7wV7FeZThLV6u8dkXqZc~e7UksC6iG~H7syUFgNiGThA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Teton County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved Feb. 4 the use of up to $290,000 in Energy Mitigation Program (EMP) funds for rooftop solar and upgraded Alpin window glazing at the Stillson Transit Center.

Sarah Mann, Director of General Services, said the Stillson Transit Center will be county-owned and leased to the Town of Jackson and that staff requested the full EMP amount in case federal rebates or tax credits are delayed. Eric Kimball, the county’s sustainability coordinator, said the glazing specified in plans would raise window R-value from roughly 3.3 (current code minimum) to about 7.1, roughly doubling insulation performance; designers may pursue still higher performance if feasible.

Commissioner Gardner asked whether the project would install actual solar panels or only wire the roof for future panels; staff confirmed installation is planned. Commissioner Gardner also asked how secure an $81,000 rebate is; Mann said the county is requesting the full amount from EMP so the project can proceed if the rebate does not arrive. Kimball explained that the tax credits are statutory and cannot be turned off except by act of Congress, but awards and administrative timing can be slowed; for completed projects the county would apply after project completion and could expect funds several months later under current timelines.

Heather Overholser, Director of Public Works, said project architects will select glazing appropriate to each facade and that staff have discussed bird-strike deterrents for large panes; if glazing products do not address the issue directly staff will consider added patterns or other mitigation.

Commissioner Probst moved to approve expenditure of EMP funds up to $290,000 for rooftop solar and Alpin window glazing; Commissioner Gardner seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

(Ending) Staff said they will track rebate and tax-credit outcomes and report back if funding expectations change.","The Board approved expenditure of energy mitigation funds up to $290,000 for rooftop solar and higher-performance Alpin window glazing at the Stillson Transit Center.

County staff told commissioners the change order stems from earlier delays related to permitting and unexpected underground utilities encountered during excavation. Paul Wember, the project manager, said the remaining contingency split between the general contractor and the county owner is approximately $94,000 and that the change order amount is excluded from that remaining contingency.

Chandler Windham, senior planner in related remarks about other items, framed the presentation; project staff said the schedule and procurement risks have declined as the project moves into interior finishes. Commissioner Gardner asked for clarification about the delays, noting an initial permitting delay and then discovery of cable lines during site work. Wember confirmed both contributed to the schedule shifts.

Commissioner Carlman moved to approve the change order; Commissioner Macker seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

County staff said they will continue to track contingency use and update the commission on schedule and budget status as the project advances.

(Ending) The change order is part of ongoing construction activity on the GSB addition; staff said no additional general conditions or further change orders are expected at this time, barring new site discoveries.","The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved contract change order No. 14 with ACM Wyoming for $109,156.65 for the General Services Building addition.
