Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Cheyenne public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
6 issues in development with medium priority
Affordable housing at Converse and Carlson
The council leased 8.37 acres for 50 years to First & Union Apartments LP for a 184-unit affordable housing complex.
Belvoir Ranch development due diligence
Companies can now access the northeast Belvoir Ranch to study soils and environmental conditions, with the amended resolution requiring fee authority and city ownership of study data.
Historic Cox mausoleum preservation
The Cox and Black families need surveys and legal protections to preserve the family mausoleum and guarantee perpetual access before any annexation proceeds — a key reason for the September delay.
Accessory dwelling unit reform
ADUs no longer require the owner to live on the property, which supporters say boosts affordable housing and critics say invites investor rentals.
Magic Meadows affordable housing project
Habitat for Humanity and Magic City are partnering on 12 units of inclusive housing near Ridge and Charles, and the city's $500,000 state grant application (trimmed from $1 million) helps pay for infrastructure.
North Cheyenne annexation of 26 surrounded parcels
The city is annexing about 280 acres completely surrounded by city limits — the ninth round of a five-year cleanup effort. Property owners including the Cole family and Edwards Development support it.
