November 2, 2026, Cheyenne Planning Commission Meeting

The November 2, 2026, City of Cheyenne Planning Commission meeting considered two subdivision plats and citywide text amendments on power-generation facilities and data centers. The commission approved the Del Range Addition, Sixth Filing preliminary plat, advancing the final plat to the governing body. It also approved the preliminary plat for Habitat for Humanity’s 12-home Ponghorn Crossing project, advancing it to the governing body with an amendment requiring the plat to include a statement addressing responsibility for maintaining common areas before final recording. The applicant said Habitat intended to cover common-area maintenance rather than impose fees on homeowners; commissioners discussed how to make that responsibility clear. Public comment raised concerns about infrastructure, drainage, and enforcement of development requirements, but no procurement or contract awards were identified.

The commission recommended approval of a citywide UDC amendment making power-generation facilities subject to special-use review, providing case-by-case consideration by the governing body. Discussion included emissions, public health and safety, and the role of state review. The commission also recommended approval of a data-center text amendment with the proposed setback provisions removed; staff indicated that data-center tiers and setbacks could be addressed through a separate amendment. Public comments and discussion focused on noise limits, water and power use, grandfathering of existing approvals, and enforceability. These were land-use and regulatory actions, not purchasing decisions or spending allocations.
