On January 23, 2012, in a unanimous vote of approval, The Cheyenne City Council adopted the City’s new development regulations with an effective date of April 30, 2012.
The action takes steps to implementing PlanCheyenne and Vision2020. The UDC Project has taken over four years to reach adoption including multiple draft and review iterations that involved intense participation from the building and development community to work towards a document which is unique to Cheyenne. The end result is a living document that Clarifies, Streamlines and Improves Cheyenne's development regulations.
