The council voted unanimously on first reading for the ordinance changes that remove existing short, special‑case language and allow the town to manage a gated/automated parking structure with posted rates and rules. The ordinance establishes that vehicles using the public parking structure must pay posted rates and comply with posted rules; staff will publish detailed rules and post them at the garage entrance.

At the meeting the council also discussed operational policy for overnight parking. Town staff and the contractor had previously proposed a management period that discourages long‑term overnight storage of vehicles while allowing short overnight usage for travelers and patrons. Transportation manager Charlotte Frey said staff initially proposed a 10 p.m.–4 a.m. enforcement window with a $2 hourly rate (a $12 overnight maximum) to balance availability and an airport‑shuttle use case.

Council members raised concerns about impacts on late‑shift service‑industry employees and travelers. After discussion the council unanimously directed staff to set the posted overnight window for enforcement and posted rates to midnight–4 a.m. and to set the posted rate at $3 per hour (maintaining the previously discussed $12 maximum overnight amount). Councilmember Schechter characterized the policy as a pilot and asked staff to return with one year of utilization data for a comprehensive review.

Town staff noted on the record that changing the overnight window during the signage fabrication process could affect the planned go‑live date for the arm‑bar system (June 25), and asked that council confirm policy quickly so staff can finalize signage and kiosk configuration. The council’s direction allows staff to finalize posted rates and hours and to configure the operator kiosk and signage accordingly.

The ordinance amendments and staff direction do not change the contractual arrangement approved earlier for installation and operation of the arm‑bar system; instead, the vote aligns town code with the planned automated access system and gives staff authority to post and adjust rates consistent with council policy.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jackson - Town Council - Jun 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved ordinance amendments to accommodate an automated arm‑bar parking system at the Millward Simpson Garage and directed staff to set overnight posted rates to midnight–4 a.m. at $3 per hour (equivalent to a $12 overnight cap), with a data‑driven review planned.","taxTitle","Jackson Town Council, Jackson, Teton County, Wyoming","taxId",68752,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6548159,"Town adopts Region 8 Hazard Mitigation Plan 2025–2030",183,8639000,8822000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626119-ca759eccd50618e0d6d530fd56b8ad53&start=8639&end=8822","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626119-ca759eccd50618e0d6d530fd56b8ad53/thumbnail_8639000.jpg","/articles/6548159/Wyoming/Town-adopts-Region-8-Hazard-Mitigation-Plan-20252030","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6548159-8e92deac92eca5d7703bbe9a3803cf41/orig.mp4?Expires=1770611929&Signature=JSpYN2fwh0ZPKDC7brlhd~c6Fh4nLLl~F164hA15K8JfMFiyJ7Fz-5SaEdjdx8bxV3vEH-aZTin~qWlq0Xt~YoFkZoc92h1mLSLCpPR9tDYx-8ShQYRk-fnCpJh419ZE2Bdj2Z6ZXW~yzw4~yiu-nb6q1xAeqF4SmPueHt3TFBEhyZM3anmWev~M-eFzWikw~YSjaJdVzfCczwUHIKkqJmx~Vw5~Q7msTJD6kcgAgP~WrpalyFGJ024TUOjSRruJ3kGV3DRY6sCw3ZJbTP-bcYkLCPwPAMtRA9tfUSc8dmENPUiFHSY1P6gDTkcvowjcysNipG-i3rl6~L6QeJlBPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jackson Town Council unanimously adopted the 2025–2030 Region 8 Hazard Mitigation Plan on June 2, a regularly updated document that inventories natural hazards and sets mitigation priorities for town and county agencies.

Rich Oakes, Emergency Management Coordinator for Teton County and the Town of Jackson, presented the plan and described it as a combined hazard‑identification and mitigation strategy document the public should consult: \"If you're a member of the general public, if you're gonna look at any of our emergency plans, this is the 1 to look at,\" he said.

Oakes said the plan is typically updated every five years and includes a hazard identification and risk assessment that catalogs threats such as floods, wildfire and seismic activity, plus a set of mitigation actions that local governments can adopt and implement. He asked the council to adopt the plan as an official planning document for the town.

Council members expressed support for the plan and thanked staff for compiling hazard and mitigation information. The motion to adopt Resolution 25‑11 passed unanimously.

Adoption allows the town and county to remain compliant with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program expectations and positions the jurisdictions for hazard‑mitigation grants and implementation activities identified in the plan. Oakes and town staff will continue implementation and outreach work identified in the mitigation‑action chapters.","Council adopted the 2025–2030 Region 8 Hazard Mitigation Plan, a five‑year planning document that inventories local natural hazards and identifies mitigation steps for town and county agencies; the adoption passed unanimously.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6548164,"Council approves transfer of restaurant liquor license for 850 W.

Lindsay Linneman of Internal Services told council the Wyoming Liquor Division had certified the transfer application is complete and that a transfer saves the applicant the higher fee for a new restaurant license. Linneman said state statute allows transfers of qualified license types and that the council’s review uses the same factors as for a new license.

Councilwoman Beeman moved to approve the transfer “having considered Wyoming statute 12‑4‑104(b) statutory factors for this application,” and set two conditions: (1) the town clerk’s office shall not issue the license until all required town licenses and permits have been obtained; and (2) any additional minor corrections deemed necessary by staff and the Wyoming Liquor Division must be completed. Council members expressed appreciation for staff review and care in the process; the motion passed unanimously.

The applicant was not present but was not required to attend, staff said. There was no public comment or protest during the public hearing.

The council’s action delegates to the town clerk the administrative step of issuing the license after confirmation that the specified conditions and state requirements have been met.","After a brief staff presentation and no public protest, the Town Council unanimously approved the transfer of a restaurant liquor license from Chinatown Lee Inc. to New Chinatown Restaurant Wyoming LLC at 850 West Broadway, subject to standard town licensing conditions and state review.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6548169,"Council continues review of three Snow King master‑plan development proposals amid neighbor concerns",5596,3330000,8926000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626119-ca759eccd50618e0d6d530fd56b8ad53&start=3330&end=8926","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626119-ca759eccd50618e0d6d530fd56b8ad53/thumbnail_3330000.jpg","/articles/6548169/Wyoming/Council-continues-review-of-three-Snow-King-masterplan-development-proposals-amid-neighbor-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6548169-f324debc6659f0f0fcdb45e145478e7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770611929&Signature=Bygw6jxzO53H4ccslaRcl5LnaN8w0YCfdpx0OSvxs9GfGKOhKmypXDV41LzFiR2tiDxFKvzqv0Xb8-WB2~yaLxtYadvLyyt-OePC~YLn1mqZGfmdxs4rZON4mEmTrzkfIAoHvd6q69nf7MToLMCoUM1GmUGykToCYyYo44gz4lgrYxBJJssTuayP4qm0ehtzekGfqGcF0DfV7LEJA87I5yLtjxIMgAe9PPzzjTfJBybho8cEZZqghEBmSbpvMpI0qphF9jck9wOKbKp~YgZDAYBNoWw1UUdd5loKyOnexrPdWQvfqiST6akS5Q9jr~3knTQEPbgzG-VdeCnpR-y3qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson Town Council on June 2 continued deliberations on three adjacent development plans in the Snow King Resort master plan — Lots 53, 57 and 58 — after a multi‑hour hearing that included detailed presentations from town staff and the developer, and multiple public comments focused primarily on Lot 57.

Town planning staff asked council to consider the three applications together because the parcels are adjacent, share access and contain interrelated grading and floor‑area allocations. Staff summarized the master plan’s example allocations and calculated that the proposals do not exhaust overall master‑plan floor‑area capacity; staff said moving floor area from steeper lots into the core (Lot 57) was an allowable approach but raised neighborhood visibility and bulk‑scale questions.

Tyler Mills and the developer team presented revised drawings that split massing on Lot 57 into north and south buildings and reduced above‑ground square footage compared with earlier concept materials. The applicant said the changes responded to feedback from staff, the Design Review Committee and the town’s Planning Commission.

Neighbors from Grand View, Love Ridge and other nearby association representatives urged council to reject the Lot 57 design or require additional reductions in height, massing and footprint. Speakers said the South Building remains too large and too close to existing four‑story and three‑story condominiums, creating a “canyon” effect that would harm light, views and neighborhood character. Several neighbors pointed to a specific master‑plan sentence that directs Lot 57 buildings to be compatible \"in bulk, scale and character with Grand View condominiums,\" and argued the proposed south building does not meet that standard.

Representatives of SCIRMA (the Snow King Resort Management Association) and the developer said they had engaged with the association and the master‑plan association and that the design team revised the plans to address prior concerns. The applicant emphasized the proposed materials palette (stone base, wood siding, metal accents), stepped building forms, and landscape mitigation as ways to reduce perceived massing.

Planning staff told council that the Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission both reviewed the project; the Planning Commission issued a recommendation with conditions, but commissioners and staff remained concerned about the south building’s scale and recommended additional landscaping, design revisions or potential reductions in square footage to avoid a canyon effect.

Given the technical complexity, the number of revisions and strong neighborhood objections, council members elected to continue all three development plans to the next regularly scheduled meeting on June 16 to give the applicant a final opportunity to revise plans and to give staff and council time for additional analysis. Councilman Schechter made the continuance motion for each plan; votes were unanimous.

Council asked staff and the applicant to provide the following before June 16: clarified sections showing the relationship to adjacent buildings (including sightlines and distance measurements), refined landscaping and screening plans, justification for any square‑footage transfers between lots, and a clear sidewalk/circulation plan where sidewalks in the master plan intersect with private easements and existing roads. Staff also flagged the sidewalk connection on Lot 57 — required by the master plan — as an item that should be installed as part of development but that may require close coordination with SCRMA and other owners because the sidewalk would cross land controlled by multiple parties.

Public comment on Lot 57 was extensive; speakers included Grand View condominium owners, Love Ridge residents and the SCIRMA residential director. Concerns focused on scale, the loss of trees and vegetation along the east side of the north building, parking for visitors/deliveries, and pedestrian safety on the single access road. Several neighbors urged that the developer instead proceed with Lots 53 and 58 as submitted and return to redesign Lot 57 in a way that the neighborhood finds compatible.

Council’s continuance preserves the applicant’s right to submit revised materials before June 16 and allows the council to decide with more complete information. The continuance motions were recorded as follows: development plan E24‑168 (continued to June 16), P24‑174 (continued to June 16), and P24‑175 (continued to June 16).","Council continued decisions on development plans for Lots 53, 57 and 58 in the Snow King Resort master plan to the June 16 meeting after lengthy staff and applicant presentations and extensive public comment raising bulk‑scale, pedestrian and parking concerns — particularly about Lot 57’s massing and proximity to existing condominiums.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6548173,"Jackson council approves 72-unit St. John’s employee housing at 460 E.

The project — described by planning staff as an approximately 83,300‑square‑foot, three‑story building with 22 one‑bedroom, 48 two‑bedroom and two three‑bedroom units — will include on‑site property management space and a mix of resident amenities. Councilwoman Beeman moved to approve the plan; Councilman Regan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Council and staff said the development implements voter‑approved special purpose lodging (SPAT) funding that included $24 million for hospital‑focused housing. Planning staff told the council the site is 1.65 acres with about 196 feet of East Broadway frontage and that, under the town’s land development regulations and conditions that accompanied prior rezoning (ZMA P22‑053), the project must proceed through the development‑plan review process.

“The applicant has requested a modification of income requirement,” planning staff Andrew Bowen told the council, summarizing the application materials. He said the housing department and planning staff had reviewed two key requests from the applicant: (1) that the 75% local‑income test apply only to the St. John’s employee rather than the employee’s whole household, and (2) that the department permit longer vacancy periods than the housing rule of 60 consecutive days in some hiring/relocation cases. Bowen said the Housing Department recommended approval of the first request but not blanket approval of the second.

April Norton, the town’s housing director, told council that the 60‑day vacancy rule is part of the workforce deed‑restriction template: \"What that is is for a workforce deed restriction. Homes could not be vacant for more than 60 consecutive days.\" Norton said the housing department would consider exceptions on a case‑by‑case basis and that the department expects a written exception request and a paper trail when a longer vacancy is needed for recruitment or relocation.

St. John’s representatives said the building targets long‑term, year‑round employees and that limited exceptions would be needed for locum tenens or delayed relocations. Sean Ryan, director of facilities for St. John’s Health, said the hospital’s strategic plan prioritizes workforce housing to retain clinical staff: \"Our intention for these are for our year‑full time year‑round staff. We're simply bringing up the exceptions on the case that they might come up.\"

Council and staff also focused on parking and pedestrian access. The development requires 1.5 parking spaces per unit under the applicable standards for apartments, the staff report said, which yields a 100‑space requirement for 72 units. The applicant will provide 76 on‑site spaces and 32 off‑site spaces under a shared‑parking agreement on hospital‑owned parcels located about 810 feet (roughly two blocks) from the site. Planning staff conditioned approval on a requirement that the developer provide a sidewalk design and construct a continuous pedestrian route on the south side of East Broadway to Redmond Street prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

Town planning director Paul Anthony told council that enforcement of the reserved off‑site spaces will be a planning‑department function rather than a police function: \"We have a good enforcement officer. We do never talk about who's actually doing it... But it's our responsibility to enforce the terms of the development plan.\"

Council approved four explicit conditions recorded in the staff report: (1) a building‑permit submission and town‑engineer review of a sidewalk design on the south side of East Broadway that provides continuous pedestrian access to Redmond Street; the sidewalk must be constructed before certificate of occupancy; (2) a signage plan or other strategy to ensure the 32 off‑site parking spaces are reserved exclusively for Hitching Post residents; (3) recordation of deed restrictions for workforce rental housing in perpetuity in a form approved by the Housing Department prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy; and (4) all proposed modifications to the housing deed‑restriction template must be submitted to the Jackson/Teton County Housing Department for final review and approval by the Town Council.

The applicant team — Hal Hutchinson (HH Land Strategies), Sean Ryan (St. John’s Health), and architects from Shopworks — emphasized the project’s employee retention goals and described building design choices, including two‑bedroom predominance for household flexibility, interior storage, amenity spaces and use of durable materials. The hospital told council it manages employee housing across its portfolio and intends to tie dedicated spaces to leases and property management practices.

Council members expressed support for the project and for the use of SPAT funding while pressing the applicant and staff to monitor outcomes (vacancy rates, parking usage) and to revisit conditions if operations show they are not working as intended. Councilman Schechter asked staff to treat the approvals and approved exceptions as a monitored pilot, and Housing Director Norton said the housing department will track exceptions and return to council if trends suggest the policy needs revision.

The council’s approval closes final action on development plan P25‑041 but required the deed restrictions, sidewalk plan and signage to be completed before the project receives certificates of occupancy.

Community members were present but no public comment on this item was recorded during the hearing. The council vote was unanimous.","The Town Council unanimously approved a development plan for the Hitching Post Apartments, a 72‑unit, three‑story building for St. John’s Health employees, with conditions requiring sidewalk connections, reserved off‑site parking, deed restrictions and housing‑department review of requested modifications.","actionData","errors"]
