Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sheridan public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in zoning
Rezoning of 26.30 acres to B-2 Business District
Sheridan College land near the future High Tech Business Park moves one step closer to B-2 Business zoning, opening it to a wider range of commercial uses. No public opposition, and one previously opposed councilmember changed his vote.
Rezone of Yellowtail Drive corridor land from education/residential to business zoning
A 26-acre lot originally zoned for a Native American education campus that never got built could become a church site. The business zoning also keeps the parcel flexible if the church project falls through, matching the light-industrial growth along Yellowtail Drive.
Data center policy for Sheridan
Resident Sam Grover urged the council to start drafting a policy, possibly a moratorium, on data centers, citing water use, energy bills, noise and pollution problems in Cheyenne and elsewhere. The mayor noted no one has approached the city and the city proper likely lacks a suitable site.
