Cody Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board approves sign permits, passes rezoning on consent calendar
Summary
On Dec. 4, 2025, the Cody Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board approved a rezoning on the consent calendar and granted three sign permits. Staff said existing exterior lighting need only be upgraded when fixtures are replaced; approvals remain subject to final resolution of findings.
The Cody Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board on Dec. 4, 2025, approved its consent calendar — including a rezoning listed as Resolution 2025-08 for 1520 23rd Street — and granted three sign permits for local businesses.
The board’s chair opened the meeting at 12:01 p.m. and, after confirming a quorum, presented the consent calendar, which included approval of the agenda and minutes and the rezone resolution. The chair recorded that the motion was made "from Dan, a 2nd from Joe" and the board approved the consent calendar by voice vote.
Jenny, a city planning staff member, presented three separate sign-review items. She described item 4a as a sign application proposing two attached wall signs at 1128 12th Street for Sips Coffee Company, and said the staff recommendation was included in the staff summary. "This is just a sign application for two attached wall signs at 1128 12th Street as shown in the staff summary," Jenny said during her presentation.
Board members moved and seconded the staff-recommended approvals for each sign review. The board approved item 4a (Sips Coffee Company), item 4b (staff-recommended sign review), and item 4c, a proposed attached wall sign for 3430 Bighorn Avenue for Sprague Roofing. Each approval was recorded by voice vote and noted as "approved subject to the final approval of a resolution of the findings."
During discussion of item 4c, a board member asked whether existing exterior lighting that does not meet current standards would need to be updated. Jenny advised that existing nonconforming fixtures may remain in place until they are replaced, at which time compliance will be reviewed. "When they get replaced that it would need to be looked at," Jenny said, adding that building-permit review will evaluate code compliance.
The board also took routine procedural actions: it had no public hearings or tabled items on the agenda, received no substantive board updates, and heard staff note potential January items and planned absences among members. The meeting concluded after a voice vote to adjourn.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes indicate voice-vote approvals for the consent calendar (including Resolution 2025-08, rezone for 1520 23rd Street) and three sign-review items; each approval was conditioned on completion of the findings/resolution process and any applicable building-permit reviews.
The board adjourned following the approvals. Any final administrative approvals (final resolutions of findings or building-permit sign-off) remain to be completed by staff.
