JACKSON, WYOMING - Some planning commissioners in the Jackson region say developers are being required to build too much employee housing.

Three years ago the Teton County Housing Authority changed the housing mitigation rate - the amount of affordable housing developers are required to build, from 15% to 25%.

But some members of the Jackson Planning and Zoning Commission say that rate should be lowered to encourage more development in a tough economy.
