Board of Adjustment

The City of Cheyenne Board of Adjustment met on October 16, 2026, and approved two housing-related variance requests despite staff recommendations for denial. The first approval, PUD-C-26-224, allows all homes in Habitat for Humanity’s 12-unit Pronghorn Crossing development to face internal roadways rather than meet the standard orientation requirement. Habitat described a $1.8 million state-administered grant awarded to the City for project infrastructure; the grant’s deadlines influenced the development timeline and design. Habitat said it plans to use deed restrictions, including a proposed 90-year affordability period and a 2% appreciation cap, to support long-term affordability. The motion passed; the transcript does not preserve a complete roll-call tally.

The board also approved PUDC-26-225, granting front- and rear-setback relief for two duplexes (four units) on Lot 12, Block 11, Roberts Place. Habitat said using its existing duplex design would reduce redesign costs and increase the number of affordable homes on the infill lot; members also discussed parking, trash collection, and yard space. The motion passed 4–2. No contract award, vendor selection, or purchasing action was identified. In an administrative update, staff said the comprehensive-plan update had begun with consultant Hausal Levine and was expected to take about 14 months; no procurement or contract details were given.
