Staff expresses concern after County removes Cheney's Urban Growth Area

Cheney Planning Commission · July 13, 2026

Summary

Planning staff told the Commission they plan to meet on a Land Capacity Analysis after the County's decision to remove Cheney's UGA; staff expressed 'strong feelings' about the County action and flagged next steps with Scott Chesney.

Terry Mourning, a planning staff member, told the Commission he would meet with Scott Chesney to review the Land Capacity Analysis and said he wanted to express "strong feelings about the County’s decision to remove all of Cheney’s UGA." Mourning raised the UGA removal as a matter of concern that could affect Cheney's growth assumptions and future annexation language in the Comprehensive Plan.

No formal action was taken at the meeting on the County decision; Mourning's comments signaled staff intent to pursue follow up work and analysis. Commissioners asked for an outline of the Urban Growth Area (UGA) process and noted timing questions related to Council review of the Comprehensive Plan before adoption.
