Committee advances Village Cooperative zone change and final plat for 54-unit senior housing
Summary
The committee recommended approval of a rezoning from AG to NR3 and the final plat for a 54-unit Village Cooperative senior housing project; the developer said entitlements are expected this spring with a fall ground-breaking and a 16–18 month build timeline.
A Cheyenne committee recommended that the full council approve a zone change and final plat for Village Cooperative, a proposed roughly 54-unit senior residential development north of Prairie Avenue.
Morgan Dennis of the planning department told the committee the zone change covers about 3.43 acres and moves the property from AG (agricultural) to NR3 (neighborhood residential high density). Brad Evans, agent for the owner, and Andrew Schafer of Real Estate Equities Development said the project includes a lower-level parking garage and a concurrent final plat that will dedicate part of Melton Avenue.
"This zone change is for approximately 3.43 acres... The projected use of this land is high density senior residential development," Morgan Dennis said. Andrew Schafer said the applicant is pursuing zoning and entitlements "this spring" with a goal to break ground in the fall and expected construction to take about "16 to 18 months," depending on weather.
Sponsor Doctor Aldridge clarified the project is retail market-rate housing, not subsidized senior housing. Planning commission recommended approval on Feb. 2, 2026; no public comments were recorded on the zone change or plat in the packet's premeeting record. The committee approved a motion and recommended the zone change and the final plat be advanced to the full council.
The full council will consider the ordinance and final plat at the next meeting; if approved, site-plan review and building permits would follow before construction.
