AX25-1 Annexation and Zone Map Amendment

Moran Meadows (fka Live Oak Springs)

PROJECT SUMMARY

This application requests the annexation and zone map amendment of two parcels totaling approximately 154.62 acres, located north of the Shoshoni Plains Master Planned Development and just southeast of the Driggs Airport, within the City’s Area of Impact. The application requests RC-1.0 – Residential Cluster zoning. The parcels are currently zoned AOI 2.5 – Area of Impact Zone 1.

The narrative submitted with the annexation application describes a potential development of 154 residential dwelling units, with lots ranging from approximately one-third acre to one acre. The narrative also describes the construction of streets, connection to City water and sewer, a pathway between Booshway St. and Teton Vista Dr., and approximately 30 acres of open space.

Approval of the annexation and zone map amendment would not constitute approval of a final development plan. Final lot configurations, housing types, street alignments, transportation requirements, infrastructure, phasing, and the number of dwelling units would be determined through subsequent development review, including the subdivision process.

PROPERTY SURROUNDINGS

The subject parcels are bordered by the Shoshoni Plains and Ski Hill Ranch subdivisions to the south, Targhee Ranches to the east, and Sweetwater to the north. Along its western edge, the property meets Driggs city limits, where adjacent parcels are zoned Industrial Flex (IX) and Light Industrial (IL). The site is located within both the Airport Traffic Pattern Area and the Big Game Migration Corridors and Seasonal Range overlays.

PROPERTY HISTORY

A previous annexation request for the Live Oak Springs property was submitted in 2024. That proposal outlined a 207 unit residential subdivision with a mix of townhomes, detached homes, larger single-family lots, and approximately 7.5 acres of park space. At the time of the previous application, the land was zoned ADR-0.5 in Teton County, and the applicant was seeking annexation into the City of Driggs with an RS-7 zoning designation.

Throughout 2024 and early 2025, the applicant explored both the County’s subdivision process and the City’s annexation process. The subdivision concept plan was reviewed at a joint County and City Planning & Zoning Commission meeting in September 2024, where the item was tabled. The City received the previous annexation application in October 2024, and a neighborhood meeting took place in February 2025. At a public hearing in May 2025 the PZC recommended denial of the annexation and recommended that City Council assign RS-7 zoning to the western parcel and RC-1.0 to the eastern parcel. See the AX24-3 project page for more information about the previous proposal.
