Data center regulations postponed again as Planning Commission reviews UDC amendments
CHEYENNE — Members of the city of Cheyenne’s Planning Commission recommended several amendments to the city’s Unified Development Code on Monday, but again postponed action on proposed data center regulations for two weeks to allow for additional review. Before the commission was an item regarding UDC text amendments creating 1.1.8 Public Records, No Confidentiality Agreements; 1.1.9 Development Agreements; 5.7.1 Data Centers; and 5.8.9 Construction Uses, as well as amending 1.4.3 Defined Terms; 4.5.3 Water and Sewerage; and 4.5.4 Utilities. This is the second time the text amendments have come before the Planning Commission. At the Oct. 5 meeting, commissioners voted to postpone them until Monday’s meeting due to the complexity of the proposals, they said at the time. Initially on Monday’s agenda as one item, Planning Commission members moved to split each section apart to be potentially amended and voted on individually. Most of the proposed code amendments were recommended for approval to the full City Council. However, commission members voted to postpone consideration of section 5.7.1, which would establish regulations regarding data centers. Specifically, the section would prohibit rooftop fans for cooling unless enclosed; require the submission of a sound study; allow for testing of equipment and for lot

Make way for the Deadhead Express: Cheyenne’s downtown trick-or-treat gets an interactive makeover
CHEYENNE — In the 1860s, 12 passengers on the Cheyenne Railroad missed their train. Not knowing what to do, they wandered into downtown. And, of course, they got lost. Now their fates are in the hands of trick-or-treaters. The weekend before Halloween, kids and their families can head downtown for Cheyenne’s annual trick-or-treat tradition, where local businesses open their doors to give kids in costume — and perhaps a few adults with a sweet tooth — an early treat before Halloween. Corey Loghry, vice president of event host DowntownFirst, said last year, downtown was packed. It was nice, she said — but that was it. The downtown owners echoed Loghry’s concern. They needed to make the event more memorable and engaging for families. So, on Oct. 24, the annual downtown trick-or-treat is turning into an interactive experience: the Deadhead Express. On the Saturday before Halloween, trick-or-treaters will have an additional task: gather at the Cheyenne Depot, collect a golden ticket and set out to find the missing passengers, who have been wandering around since the 1860s. If they choose to accept this mission, they’ll find themselves transported to downtown Cheyenne of the past — with rewards far more decadent than
