Staff reported the application — submitted by Renee Kubby on behalf of the Cody Country Art League — would modify two wall signs and two suspended signs. Staff recommended approval with conditions, including that the applicant obtain a WYDOT permit for street signage or a letter from WYDOT stating a permit is not required prior to issuance of the building permit.

Board members discussed whether WYDOT clearance should be resolved before the local review. Staff said WYDOT had indicated informally that the permit would be a formality and that required dimensions and photos had been provided; staff recommended approval while the WYDOT procedural step is finalized.

Staff also noted the site contains preexisting signs installed before the current sign ordinance (circa 2007); the proposed work was described as modifying existing, nonconforming suspended signs by rewrapping them rather than installing new signage that would exceed current square-foot limits.

A motion to approve the sign modifications with the staff conditions carried; the chair announced approval. The action is conditioned on receipt of WYDOT clearance or a WYDOT no-permit-required letter before a building permit is issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cody - Planning and Zoning","oneSentenceSummary","Planning board approved sign modifications for the Cody Country Art League (rebranding to Cody Arts Gallery and Creative Center) at 836 Sheridan Avenue, subject to obtaining WYDOT sign-permit clearance or a letter confirming a permit is not required.","taxTitle","Cody, Park County, Wyoming","taxId",68762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491183,"Board approves amended site plan to extend front canopy at 1234 Sheridan Avenue",217,1814000,2031000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617249-0ea30078f611d4788787244a645a9068&start=1814&end=2031","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617249-0ea30078f611d4788787244a645a9068/thumbnail_1814000.jpg","/articles/6491183/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Board-approves-amended-site-plan-to-extend-front-canopy-at-1234-Sheridan-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491183-f9c887d517cd8ab154269400c70c09d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440819&Signature=UXoYc2Wheb6j3zfDSia~Ft12cJRy6H8Zg8zS011CAAzM4gRVimubBhXp1fOQBRwT97j7E3h717q5SnPeIg3XhYBqyYkKzfB9hsaWd6EjRqseaRsytgFwKTLCIF2CcscMjSrUI~ZbS7~XFtMzkfoZw2c3sNCO4JD9xRQ4vLOPllnlLYYmtdVGb6QMmSZdVBdgJMOyZSQeCYEwGx2WnAmwTruoIsF8KitnUr33H~TSNY8nldrAWdPYgDYVIZ7hXvWn0VlKZAQTANhndBiM10EBpQVueJjKFM3FHyG6i4Rf5mbKxzdT3teNJ3oghJ-m3kBqv1RQHHm2bfqcIJhZ41f7Nw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning and Zoning and Adjustment Board approved an amended site plan Thursday permitting an extension of the front canopy at 1234 Sheridan Avenue.

Staff explained the proposed extension will extend the canopy 16 feet 11 inches to the west and a comparable amount to the east, with both extensions encroaching 2 feet 2 inches into the public right-of-way. Staff reported that the Wyoming Department of Transportation (YDOT) has already permitted the 2'2\" encroachment into the right-of-way.

The applicant’s representative, identified in the record as Mr. Simpson, appeared and did not offer additional comments. After brief discussion the board moved, seconded and unanimously approved the amended site plan review.

Staff will proceed with standard building-permit processing and any city requirements tied to the site-plan amendment.","The board unanimously approved an amended site plan allowing a front canopy extension at 1234 Sheridan Avenue; staff confirmed YDOT permitted a 2'2\" encroachment into the public right-of-way.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6491188,"Board approves 16-foot windbreak fence at 603 Skyline Drive with building-permit condition",163,1630000,1793000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617249-0ea30078f611d4788787244a645a9068&start=1630&end=1793","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617249-0ea30078f611d4788787244a645a9068/thumbnail_1630000.jpg","/articles/6491188/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Board-approves-16-foot-windbreak-fence-at-603-Skyline-Drive-with-building-permit-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491188-d38b97f807abf19bc63f4c4973264fe7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440820&Signature=LR3SYtPUCkEfWJ0VmGNjUGFamRox1daRUKSC2amfO16SOVaV6Lfieb5JzEiT2XwIUiH-2v~AE1l33cT0jnrh3U3D4ZB6c8c2L~FT9VVn5tuZF0rrDY3AnoRuGGL11BZx9kLbvAGjPYObZ4WhkJkUY2A2i~u6VCCM7FvfomH1OfGnzg5gNiVzVIBEBmWESVw~8Fw2buhLOnz9L1JXzBr8Fv-T0DXoilVvZ8jLXrQfFW23NIZIncUkgH80h-HZF4-kEBf6XfX1qNVfMeDWP-8eUqbbCjhEI7S98VGesKY1IpHQo4lyM2R1eOb7ZMysk4042Hy4iPvHchYHKxL0NK9Gcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning and Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a fence-height waiver Thursday permitting three staggered cedar windbreak structures up to 16 feet tall at 603 Skyline Drive.

The board voted to grant the permit with the six conditions listed in the staff report, including that the operator obtain state plan review and approval from the state fire marshal prior to commencement of use.

Board members and city staff discussed the property’s prior zoning and nonconforming-use status. City staff noted the parcel had previously operated as an individual care facility and had been grandfathered when zoning changes took effect, but that the grandfathered status can lapse if the prior use ceases. Staff indicated the facility had been out of operation for more than one year, which required the current applicant to apply for a conditional-use permit under the City of Cody land-use rules.

During the public hearing, a nearby resident who identified himself as Mr. Osgood testified that he has lived next to the group home for about 20 years and praised the operator’s management of residents. Mary Johnson, identified as CEO of Oxbow Center, told the board the organization intends to move residents from its existing site across the street into the proposed property and then place the original property on the market once vacated.

Neighbors asked about building fixtures and operations. A resident asked whether the proposed home would have sufficient bathrooms for up to 10 residents plus staff; Johnson replied each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and that there is also a central bathroom. Staff and board members confirmed the proposed facility would serve both men and women, and discussed parking: Johnson said residents typically do not drive and agency vehicles would be stored at Oxbow Center’s main facility rather than parked at the new site.

Board members discussed the possibility that the current, across-the-street property might later be put to another use. Staff said a property that has ceased the grandfathered use for a calendar year would lose the nonconforming status and any future identical use would require its own approval process.

After public comment and board discussion, a motion to approve the conditional-use permit with the six staff conditions carried. The chair announced approval; the formal roll-call tally was not recorded in the minutes beyond the board’s affirmative vote.

The permit is conditioned on the items listed in the staff report, including state fire marshal plan review and the building-permit requirements described by staff. The board did not place a time-limited renewal on the permit; staff stated that once granted the permit remains in effect unless revoked under the city code.","The City of Cody Planning and Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a conditional-use permit allowing Oxbow Center to operate an individual care group home at 2716 Cougar Avenue, with six conditions including state plan review before occupancy.","actionData","errors"]
