Board approves conditional use to allow outdoor sales at Overland Trails Business Park
Summary
The Cheyenne Board of Adjustments voted May 21 to approve PUDC‑26‑66, allowing outdoor storage and sales at Lot 2, Block 1, Overland Trails Business Park. Staff recommended approval, saying the proposal expands an existing, compatible use and should not change traffic or noise levels.
On May 21, 2026, the Cheyenne Board of Adjustments approved a conditional use (PUDC‑26‑66) to allow outdoor storage and outdoor sales at Lot 2, Block 1 of Overland Trails Business Park.
Morgan Dennis, the case planner, told the board the parcel sits in the Light Industrial (LI) zone and is bordered by LI and Community Business (CB) zones. Dennis said the future land‑use map designates the area as mixed‑use employment and described the proposal as "an expansion of the use on the property to the south." Dennis added that staff expects "business hours and number of trips [to be] no different than those of the existing business" and that there are "no expected visible or audible impacts to the property." "With this, staff recommends approval, and I stand for questions," Dennis said.
A board member moved to approve the conditional use, saying the application met the Unified Development Code review criteria; another board member seconded the motion. The chair called the roll and the motion passed.
Why it matters: Staff framed the request as an expansion of an existing outdoor sales function at the business park rather than a new commercial use, and recommended approval to avoid forcing the applicant to return for site‑plan adjustments during permitting. The decision allows the applicant to proceed to the site‑plan stage subject to Light Industrial zone standards.
What’s next: The approval authorizes the conditional use; the applicant will proceed through the site‑plan review process and must meet the LI zone standards required by the city before building or operating.
