Summary
Commissioners discussed funding and progress for PLN24-066, a Class 4 Location and Extent application proposing six workforce housing buildings totaling 162 units on U.S. Forest Service land in the White River National Forest; staff said the BOCC had seen material but did not advance consolidation or funding actions.
Commissioners at the Snake River Planning Commission’s Aug. 21 meeting pressed staff for updates on PLN24-066, a Class 4 Location and Extent application from the Summit County Housing Department for a workforce housing project on U.S. Forest Service land.
Commissioner Vince Valentin questioned staff about consolidation of planning commissions and the status of funding and progress for PLN24-066. Staff member Susan Lee said the information had been presented to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) but that the BOCC did not move forward with consolidation or related action at this time. Susan Lee asked that questions about BOCC-level decisions be routed to the BOCC.
According to the application description discussed by commissioners and staff, PLN24-066 proposes six workforce housing buildings containing a total of 162 apartment units, one community building, one bus stop and two U.S. Forest Service administrative buildings on approximately 10.89 acres owned by the U.S. Forest Service in the White River National Forest. The parcel is described as being within Summit County and zoned NR-2. Commissioners did not take formal action on PLN24-066 during the meeting; the discussion focused on funding, progress and jurisdictional routing.
The exchange indicated that substantive BOCC or funding decisions have not yet been made and that staff will direct jurisdictional or funding questions to the BOCC for follow-up. The commission’s next meeting on Sept. 18 could include items returned from continuances.
