JACSON, WYOMING - The Teton County commission has imposed a temporary moratorium on large subdivisions.

The action stops several housing projects involving hundreds of new homes. The moratorium on development applications of more than 20 acres was approved on a 3-2 vote. It will remain in effect until Dec. 31 or when changes to a joint Jackson and Teton County development plan are adopted.

The moratorium does include a clause allowing for "reasonable exceptions." It also halts zone changes that would increase the number of homes allowed on a property from what is currently allowed. The moratorium discussion began in March after the county received two requests to consider plans for about 600 new homes south of Jackson.
