Completed Projects & Applications

Engage 2017

Action: Reach out to the public for feedback of 5 projects in progress throughout 2017 and 2018. Goal: Engage with the community on major updates to our regulations.

County Outdoor Event Site Regulations

In response to community feedback on the potential land use impacts of outdoor special events in some areas of the County, the Teton County Board of Commissioners is considering changes to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). Planning Staff has prepared a proposed LDR text amendment that would require large outdoor events or those that host overnight camping to obtain an approved Conditional Use Permit from the Board of County Commissioners. Current regulations only require sites that host outdoor events more than three times per year to obtain an approved Conditional Use Permit from the Board of County Commissioners.
