Committee recommends several zoning and plat changes for adoption
Summary
On March 2 the Public Service Committee recommended multiple third‑reading ordinances and a final plat to the governing body, including rezoning to allow senior housing, expansion of a business park, zoning for annexed parcels, and a final plat for Village Cooperative.
Several noncontroversial land‑use items were recommended by the Public Service Committee on March 2.
- Item 8: Third‑reading ordinance to amend the official zoning map north of Prairie Avenue to NR‑3 (neighborhood residential high density) to allow a senior housing development. Planning reported no changes and no public comment; the committee recommended adoption.
- Item 9: Third‑reading ordinance to amend zoning southeast of South Greeley Highway and East O’Shea Lane from AG to BP (Business Park) to expand Bison Business Park; no public comment; recommendation to adopt.
- Item 11: Third‑reading ordinance establishing city zoning classifications (AG, MR, CB, LI) for annexed lands east of I‑25 and adjacent corridors; staff clarified that agricultural zoning protects existing agricultural and livestock uses when those historical uses are recorded with the city.
- Item 14: Resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to sign a final plat for Village Cooperative following the zone change; committee recommended adoption.
Each item will be forwarded to the governing body for final action at the next meeting. Planning staff (multiple speakers) stood for questions and confirmed that fees and exceptions associated with plats and site plans are consistent with standard city procedures.
Why it matters: These votes implement zoning and platting necessary to proceed with development projects (senior housing, business park expansion) and finalize the annexation package already discussed; they change the land‑use map in parts of Cheyenne and include protections for some existing uses.
