RECENT DOCUMENTS 

BACKGROUND 
 On June 3, Jackson’s Town Council unanimously voted to place an emergency, temporary moratorium on development of commercial buildings larger than 35,000 square feet. The moratorium includes buildings in the Downtown Core and Commercial Residential Zones.  

Council is enacting this moratorium to allow time to review and amend the Town’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to address issues related to the size and scale of buildings and impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and traffic generation. This review is intended to be brief enough to minimize negative impacts on landowners and long enough to provide time to thoughtfully consider necessary LDR amendments and include genuine community engagement. 

Please contact Town Planning & Building Director, Paul Anthony (planning@jacksonwy.gov or 307-733-0440 ext. 1304) with questions related to implementing the moratorium for current or proposed development applications.
