County planners may soon have a different process to evaluate a development’s potential impact on natural resources. The Teton County Planning Commission approved a new version of the natural resources overlay, or NRO, on Monday.
Instead of a black-and-white zone, where a property either is, or is not, in the NRO, the proposed change shifts to a tiered model. Nearly all private land would fall within the overlay district. In high-tier areas, the process for planners to evaluate a development’s impact would be the most comprehensive. In lower-tier areas, the process would be less stringent.
