Summary

The City Council approved two separate ordinance amendments to Title 15 and Chapter 15.22.020(a) on second reading, with one measure passing 6-3 and the other 9-0; public comment on nonconforming uses was received.

The Laramie City Council on Sept. 16 approved amendments to the municipal housing code and rules on nonconforming uses in separate votes during its regular meeting. One ordinance (originally labeled Ordinance No. 2,110) passed by a 6-3 vote; a second related ordinance (Ordinance No. 2,111) passed by a 9-0 vote.

The measures appeared on second reading as amendments to Title 15 of the municipal code and to Chapter 15.22.020(a) concerning nonconforming uses. City staff presented the ordinances as part of the regular agenda; council members debated the provisions before the recorded votes.

The council also heard one public comment related to nonconforming uses during the meeting’s public-comment period. The comment was filed under the nonconforming-uses item and was not identified as leading to any change in the final text during the meeting.

The ordinances move the city’s housing-code language forward through the council’s legislative process; the transcript records the second-reading votes but does not include the full ordinance texts or the specific amendments adopted. The measures were recorded by their ordinance numbers and vote tallies in the council’s meeting record.

Council members and staff indicated the changes relate to Title 15 housing-code provisions and to the city’s rules on nonconforming uses, but the meeting transcript does not specify implementation dates, administrative steps following adoption, or whether additional code updates will follow.

The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Oct. 7, when any required follow-up actions or additional readings would appear on a future agenda.
