Planning commission recommends rezoning 1.83-acre parcel near East Carlson Street to community business
Summary
The Laramie County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Commissioners rezone a 1.83-acre parcel from A-1 (agricultural/rural residential) to CB (community business) to bring the lot into conformance ahead of anticipated annexation by the City of Cheyenne; staff found the change consistent with county land-use rules and the comprehensive plan.
The Laramie County Planning Commission on a motion recommended approval of a zone change from A-1 (agricultural and rural residential) to CB (community business) for a 1.83-acre remainder parcel northwest of East Carlson Street and Converse Avenue.
Associate Planner Sonny Keane told the commission the parcel is designated Mixed Use Commercial in the county comprehensive plan and lies in an Urban–Rural Interface area; he said staff found the proposal meets the criteria for a zone map amendment under Laramie County Land Use Regulations section 1-2-103(b) and complies with section 4-2-107 for the CB district. Keane also said public notice was sent, no written neighbor comments were received and agency comments had been addressed.
Shane Hansen, representing Stiles Surveying Services LLC, described the parcel as a leftover "remainder parcel" from prior development work that was identified during preparations for a new WinCo grocery store. "So we're cleaning up a remainder parcel that was left behind by a previous development action," Hansen said, adding that rezoning to CB would let the lot be brought into conformance when it is annexed into the City of Cheyenne.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval of the zone change to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners and to adopt findings A and B from the staff report; the motion was seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote in which Commissioners Stottle, Tafoya, Gasper and Chairman Coy voted in favor. The commission's recommendation passed unanimously.
The commission closed the public hearing after confirming there were no in-person or virtual public comments. The recommendation now goes to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners for final action; no hearing date or Board-level vote was stated during the meeting.
Details recorded by staff include the property's current zoning (A-1), the proposed zoning (CB), the parcel size (1.83 acres) and the cited regulatory sections (Laramie County Land Use Regulations sections 1-2-103(b) and 4-2-107). The commission did not attach conditions to its recommendation.
