Planning commission recommends rezoning parcels to R-1 with Planned Neighborhood overlay for future development
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended that selected county‑classified parcels be rezoned to the Town’s R‑1 residential district as a base zone, with future development guided by a Planned Neighborhood (PN) floating overlay; Critical Area rules would continue to apply where relevant.
The Queenstown Planning Commission has recommended that the Town Commissioners rezone certain properties currently retaining County SR and CS classifications to the Town’s R‑1 residential district as the base zoning, with the intention that future development proceed under a Planned Neighborhood (PN) floating-zone overlay.
Town staff noted that any portions of the parcels located within the Critical Area (CA) would remain subject to the county’s or state’s stricter CA standards and that rezoning must comply with Critical Area amendment procedures. Commissioners were provided with the recommendation and PWA documents related to development projects, including the Wheatland’s project, for review.
The recommendation is a procedural planning action: Commissioners must formally consider any rezoning request and follow statutory amendment procedures for areas within the Critical Area. No formal rezoning ordinance or vote was recorded at this meeting; the packet materials were provided for commissioner review.
Next steps: commissioners will review the PWA and supporting documents and will consider formal rezoning actions at a future meeting if they choose to proceed.
