Cheyenne City Council Rezones 387 Acres to Business Park for Potential Data Center Development Amidst Public Opposition
The City Council held the third reading for an ordinance to rezone 387 acres of land located south of I-80 and east of College Drive from Agricultural and Planned Unit Development to Business Park. This rezoning is intended for mixed-use employment, likely for future data center development. During the public comment, concerns were raised about the process, the accuracy of information provided, and the potential negative impacts of data centers. Council members debated the merits of the rezoning and the perceived lack of transparency. The ordinance passed on third and final reading with three 'no' votes.
Cheyenne City Council Approves Agricultural Residential Zoning for 2.69 Acres
The City Council approved on third and final reading the establishment of an Agricultural Residential (AR) zoning classification for 2.69 acres of land south of Charles Street, east of Winandi Avenue, and west of McKinley Avenue. This followed the annexation of the same parcel. The decision was part of a larger discussion about the annexation and rezoning process, with concerns raised about the potential for future land use changes and the adequacy of evidence. The ordinance passed unanimously.
Cheyenne City Council Approves 50-Year Ground Lease for 184-Unit Affordable Housing Project Amidst Fiscal Concerns
The City Council approved a 50-year ground lease agreement with First and Union Apartments LP, a Utah-based limited partnership, for 8.37 acres of city-owned land at the northwest corner of Converse Avenue and Carlson Street. The lease is for the development of a 184-unit affordable housing complex. Concerns were raised by Mr. Miller regarding the lease terms, specifically the provision allowing rent deferral if the developer lacks cash flow and the eventual transfer of municipal property to the developer after the lease term. He argued this constitutes a 'fiduciary giveaway' that worsens the housing crisis the city claims to address. The lease was approved as amended, with one 'no' vote.
Cheyenne City Council Approves Firefighters Labor Agreement Amidst Debate Over Staffing Footnote
The City Council approved a collective labor agreement between the City of Cheyenne and Cheyenne Firefighters Local Union 279, International Association of Firefighters, for the 2026-2027 term. A proposed amendment to remove a footnote regarding management's position on minimum staffing levels was debated and failed. Concerns were raised about the footnote's placement and the potential impact on staffing and overtime. The main motion to approve the agreement passed, with three 'no' votes.
Cheyenne City Council Approves Agricultural Residential Zoning for 2.69-Acre Parcel Amidst Procedural Debate
The City Council considered the third reading of an ordinance to rezone 2.69 acres of land south of Charles Street, east of Winandi Avenue, and west of McKinley Avenue. The land was previously annexed and is being zoned Agricultural Residential (AR). Mr. Miller argued that site-specific rezonings are quasi-judicial acts requiring findings of fact, and that treating this as legislative is legally flawed. Public comment included concerns about the zoning process, potential future changes in land use, and the adequacy of evidence for annexation criteria. The ordinance passed unanimously.
