May 18, 2026, Cheyenne Planning Commission Meeting

The City of Cheyenne Planning Commission held a meeting on May 18, 2026, primarily focused on proposed text amendments to the Unified Development Code related to historic horse racing facilities and carports. The commission discussed creating a regional entertainment overlay district to regulate historic horse racing venues, including special use permits, development standards, and zoning considerations. Key motions included approving the overlay district with amendments to exclude bars and liquor stores as permitted uses by right, and clarifying definitions and setback requirements for carports. The carport amendments aimed to allow carports on front driveways with specific size, setback, and enclosure limitations, balancing property owner rights and neighborhood aesthetics. The commission passed the amendments with modifications, including a setback of five feet from sidewalks. Staff also provided updates on upcoming governing body agendas involving data center development moratoriums and annexations. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
