Commission recommends PUD rezoning for Cowboy Bruce campground on Greeley Highway
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended a rezoning from medium‑density residential (MR) to planned unit development (PUD) to permit a permanent campground on about 4.7 acres at 227 South Greeley Highway; staff recommended approval and commissioners voted to forward the item to the Board of Commissioners.
The Laramie County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zone change from MR (medium‑density residential) to PUD (planned unit development) for the Cowboy Bruce Subdivision first filing at 227 South Greeley Highway. The recommendation, adopted with no conditions, will advance to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners for final action.
Justin Arnold, planner with Laramie County Planning and Development, told the commission the property is designated urban‑rural interface under the county comprehensive plan and is within the South Cheyenne Water and Sewer District; agency comments and staff analysis led to recommending a PUD so the proposed campground use can be reviewed and approved at the board level.
Diane Roone, representing the applicants, said the project is intended as a permanent campground with full hookups and on‑site amenities. "We have 41 total spaces planned," Roone said, adding the site would be nearly 50% landscaped open space and that roughly eight spaces would accommodate RVs. She described plans for a small convenience store, laundry, showers, a propane station and a dump station.
Commissioners questioned whether adequate secondary access exists for emergency ingress/egress. Arnold explained that a secondary access is typically required for more than 12 platted lots and that site‑plan review will occur at the board approval stage; Roone confirmed two access points, including a shared southern access with an adjacent car wash and a separate north‑side access.
A public hearing produced no in‑person or online comments. After a motion and second, the commission voted to recommend the zone change; Commissioners Tafoya, Gasper, Ah Watkins and Chairman Coy were recorded as voting in favor. The matter now proceeds to the Laramie County Board of Commissioners.
