Notes

Institutional and Infrastructure Uses 2g: Access

  • Uses subject to the standards of this Subsection are exempt from Section 7.6.2.C.1, provided all other standards of Division 7.6 are met and the access is approved by the Fire Marshal.

Institutional and Infrastructure Uses 2f: Parking

  • All standards of Division 6.2 apply, except that Commercial uses subject to this Subsection are exempt from Subsection 6.2.5.A.1.

Subsection 2e: Hours of Operation

  • An outdoor public event located less than 300 feet from a property line adjacent to a residential site is limited to hours of operation of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
  • Other uses have specific hours of operation, including Daycare and Education (7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.), Hospitals (24-hours operations with curfew hours set during the CUP process), and all other institutional and infrastructure uses (9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M.).
  • All music must end no later than 10:00 p.m.
  • The Board may establish separate hours of operation that are more strict for amplified music or sound associated with the use.
  • The Board may impose hours of operations that are more strict than those established above should site-specific or neighborhood conditions warrant additional limitations.

Institutional and infrastructure uses 2d: Setbacks and Location

  • Uses should be clustered adjacent to an existing ranch compound or physical development, unless the proposed use requires location adjacent to a natural feature or an alternate location better sustains the open space or minimizes potential impacts.
  • Setbacks for the use are established through the CUP process, and may vary for daily staff functions and public events, and between indoor and outdoor activities.

Institutional and Infrastructure Uses 2c: Maximum Intensity of Use

  • The intensity of the use is limited to maintain the rural character of the area and the State or County road from which access is taken.
  • If the proposed use is continuous, the intensity is limited by restricting the maximum occupancy.
  • If the proposed use involves discrete occurrences, the intensity is limited by restricting the frequency of occurrence.
  • The Board may impose conditions based on one or both of the standards: maximum occupancy and frequency.
  • The Board may also limit a use to a particular season or time period based on an Environmental Analysis.
  • Proposed outdoor or temporary storage or use areas are evaluated as part of the CUP process, and conditions may be imposed to minimize impacts.

Subsection 2b: Prohibited Uses in the NRO

  • Institutional uses are prohibited within the NRO.

Section 2: Institutional and Infrastructure Uses

Subsection 2a: Compatibility

  • The compatibility of one or more principal conditional uses on a site is defined through the CUP review.
  • The Board considers the extent to which the proposed use promotes or sustains the site’s open space.
  • The Board also considers the cumulative impact of all permitted uses and development options on the site’s open space compared to the use of the site at its base residential density.

Section 4: Nonhabitable Floor Area Exemption for Historic Structures

Nonhabitable floor area shall be exempt from maximum floor area if the floor area is in a building that meets all the following standards: - The building is included on the Teton County Historic Preservation Board (TCHPB) list of historically significant properties or is otherwise deemed in writing by the TCHPB to be historically significant. - The building is located at its original site. A building is at its original site if it is within the development area that existed during the building’s period of historical significance, as found by the TCHPB in its determination of historical significance. The building may be moved within the current parcel boundaries of the original site. - Modifications to the building shall be approved by the TCHPB in order to retain the exemption.

Section 3: Accessory Residential Unit (ARU) - Primary Use Non-Residential

  • Unit Type: The following residential uses are permitted as unit types for an ARU associated with a primary nonresidential use:

3.2.3. Rural-2 (R-2) Intent

3.2.3.1. Desired Future Character

  • Development, use, and conservation in the R-2 should be located and designed to respect property rights while substantially protecting wildlife habitat, habitat connectivity, and scenery.
  • The aim is to preserve the historic western character of the community by supporting the continuation of agriculture.
  • Existing property rights define the maximum density of the R-2 and clustering of development and combination of lots is encouraged.
  • Preferred uses are residential and/or agricultural, but institutional uses with a rural character that require a large site may be compatible.
