EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AVI, PC, on behalf of North Ridgeview LLC and H. Smith Shumway c/o Gloria Milmont, has submitted a Zone Change application for a portion of the North half of Section 6, T.14 N., R.66 W., of the 6th P.M., Laramie County, WY, to be subdivided and platted as Northridge View.

This application is being run concurrently with a subdivision permit and plat. The subdivision permit and plat cannot be approved if the zone change is not approved, given the minimum lot size requirements. BACKGROUND The subject property consists of two unplatted, undeveloped parcels located southeasterly of Yellowstone Road and Iron Mountain Road, north of Riding Club Road, and is primarily surrounded by rural residential properties. Pertinent Regulations Section 1-2-103(b) of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations governing the criteria for a zone map amendment.

DISCUSSION The Laramie County Comprehensive Plan designates this area as URI (Urban Rural Interface), intended to accommodate a mix of more intensive land uses than other areas. PlanCheyenne describes this property as best suited for Rural Residential uses, which provides a gradual transition from the urbanized areas of the Cheyenne Area to the rural areas on the periphery. Current zoning for this property is A1 (Agricultural and Rural Residential), which requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres for any use. A zone change to the AR (Agricultural Residential) district is being requested to allow the tracts in the proposed subdivision to meet the minimum lot size requirements of 5 acres. Surrounding properties are zoned A1 and AR, range in size from approximately 2 to 20 acres, and are single-family residential use or vacant. Public notice was published and neighbor notice was provided via certified mail regarding this application. Staff received no public comment. Agency reviews were combined for the zone change and subdivision permit & plat applications. Comments received pertain to the subdivision and plat and shall be addressed accordingly. Section 1-2-103 (b) of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations specifies that in order to recommend approval of this zone change, the Planning Commission must find at least one of the following: i. That the zoning district map amendments or regulations are consistent with plans and policies of Laramie County; or ii. That the original zoning classification given to the property was inappropriate or improper; or iii. That there have been changes of an economic, physical or social nature within the area involved which altered the basic character of such area, and that the amendment will not detrimentally affect the area involved. Criteria i. is met by the conformance with the Laramie County Comprehensive Plan and PlanCheyenne with type of development. RECOMMENDATION and FINDINGS Based on evidence provided, staff recommends the Planning Commission find that: a. This application meets the criteria for a zone map amendment pursuant to section 1-2- 103 (b) i. of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations b. The proposed change in zone district is in conformance with the requirements of section 4-2-100 of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations. 3966 Archer Pkwy Cheyenne, WY 82009 www.laramiecountyplanning.com Phone (307) 633-4303 Fax (307) 633-4616 Page 2 of 3
