The unanimous decision required two separate motions.The applicant, Jones Land Surveying Inc., on behalf of Fox Properties 440S LLC, sought to vacate Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the York Subdivision, 1st Filing, in order to create a new two-tract subdivision known as York Subdivision, 2nd Filing. The property is located at 418, 420 and 426 Avenue D in Cheyenne.In conjunction with the replat, the board approved changing the zoning designation of the property from Medium Density Residential to Mixed Use zone district. Planning staff said the change would accommodate both existing residence and accessory structures, as well as future business uses.The Planning Commission had previously held a public hearing on Sept. 11 and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the zone change. No comments from the public or adjacent landowners were received during the public notice period.Commissioners also held a public hearing and unanimously approved a vacation and subdivision permit for the Polk Addition, 3rd Filing. AVI P.C., acting on behalf of High West LLC, submitted the application to subdivide an existing 17.72-acre parcel into two new residential tracts. The property is currently zoned Land Use and is accessed from East Pershing Boulevard.The tracts will be served by individual wells. Planning staff confirmed the new tracts meet the minimum acreage requirements — no less than 5.25 acres — for developments relying on groundwater withdrawal in the relevant zone area to ensure sufficient recharge. No public comments were received on this item.<h2>Building code amendment initiated</h2>In other action, the board heard a proposed change to the International Residential Code. The commissioners considered a resolution giving public notice of Laramie County’s intent to amend the 2024 Edition of the International Residential Code, Section R105.2, regarding “work exempt from permit.”The proposed amendment is designed to change the current square-foot exemption from 200 square feet to 400 square feet. Planning staff said the change was prompted by public feedback and aims to exempt structures such as shipping containers, sheds and small carports from needing building permits.The board set a public hearing date of Dec. 2 to formally consider the amendments to the code. Chairman Gunnar Malm voiced appreciation for staff’s responsiveness to public feedback.</div></body>
