Committee advances annexation and zoning for East Cheyenne parcels
Summary
The committee recommended approval of a county-pocket annexation in East Cheyenne and the accompanying zoning designations (AR, MR, HR, CB, MUR), with staff saying property owners were notified and some uses will continue as nonconforming.
The Cheyenne Public Services Committee on Thursday voted unanimously to recommend approval of a city-initiated county-pocket annexation in East Cheyenne and the accompanying zoning map designations for the annexed parcels. The annexation area lies generally south of Del Range Boulevard, east of Dry Creek, west of Whitney Road and north of Charles Street.
Charles Bloom, plan development director, told the committee the annexation (county pocket annexation number 6) includes developed residential properties and some businesses, that property owners were mailed notice and that a public informational meeting was held in advance. Bloom said existing lawful uses on the properties would be allowed to continue as nonconforming uses and staff asked property owners to notify the city of specific uses so the city has documentation for future reference.
Bloom described the accompanying zoning as an "assigned zoning" based on current county zoning. The city's corresponding zone districts for the area will be AR (agricultural residential), MR (medium-density residential), HR (high-density residential), CB (community business) and MUR (mixed use residential). Bloom said the assigned city zones map to the county's existing land-use categories.
There was limited committee discussion and no public comment at the committee meeting; Director Bloom said the planner on the project, Connor White, had not reported any additional outreach since the informational meeting and was expected to return from leave the next day. The motion to approve on second reading and the related zoning item was moved by Doctor Emmons and seconded by Doctor Aldridge; the committee voted unanimously and will forward the items to the full City Council for Monday consideration.
Bloom also noted that some property owners had asked about continuity of home occupations and other existing uses; those uses will be treated as nonconforming and staff requested owners contact the city to document those uses.
