June 25, 2026, Cheyenne Board of Adjustment Meeting

The City of Cheyenne Board of Adjustment held an emergency meeting on June 25, 2026, to consider a conditional use request for an entertainment, amusement, and recreation establishment at 3307 Nationway, specifically a gaming parlor and historical horse racing establishment. Staff presented the request, noting it met zoning criteria and referenced a recent text amendment shifting approval authority for such establishments from the Board of Adjustment to the City Council via a special use permit process. The Board initially voted to approve the conditional use with a 4-1 vote, but due to procedural requirements needing unanimous approval, the motion failed. After an executive session to discuss legal advice, the Board reconsidered and passed the motion to approve the conditional use. The meeting also addressed the transitional regulatory environment and coordination with the State Gaming Commission to ensure compliance during the approval process.
