Board approves conditional use permit for large-scale home occupation at 1431 Salisbury Avenue

The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a conditional use permit and a related special exemption for 1431 Salisbury Avenue on March 19 after staff described the proposed large-scale home-occupation use and the board discussed parking and access concerns.

Jenny, the planning staff member called to present the item, summarized the proposal and answered questions from board members about on-site parking. One board member said neighborhood concern centered on customers parking in front of the property and asked whether directional signage or other notice could ensure customers used the two rear spaces (one designated handicapped). The board noted the garage appears to be used for storage rather than parking. Jenny then moved the motion: “Mr. Chairman, I move that, we approve the conditional use permit for 1431 Salisbury Salisbury according to the findings on pages 14 and 16 in the staff report, findings number 1 through 7, and the conditions on page 17 of the staff report, conditions 1 through 5.”

Following a second and a brief exchange about whether Search and Rescue had been directly contacted (the record shows no testimony from that agency), the chair called the vote and declared the ayes to have it. The approvals were made with the staff-recommended findings and conditions; the staff report pages referenced in the motion are the record for required findings and conditions.
