Cheyenne Releases Draft Development Code
Plan Cheyenne Is The Basis For A Unified
Approach To Development In Cheyenne
CHEYENNE - The City of Cheyenne has released a Completed Draft copy of the Unified Development Code (UDC). The code serves to shape the built environment of the community incrementally as it grows over time. The UDC incorporates zoning, subdivision, transportation and site development standards into one volume.
In November of 2006, the City of Cheyenne and Laramie County adopted PlanCheyenne, the comprehensive plan for the Cheyenne Urban Area. This effort is the 2007 winner of the prestigious Daniel Burnham Award issued by the American Planning Association and has garnered national attention for its innovative approach to community planning by integrating parks & recreation, transportation, and scenario-based land-use planning, urban character, and community design. Now, the Cheyenne Governing Body is taking steps to implement the community’s vision by updating and integrating the City’s regulatory documents, including the zoning code, road standards and subdivision regulations.

GOVERNOR FORECASTS BUDGET CUTS, WYOMING CHALLENGES WOLF DELISTING |
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Gov. Dave Freudenthal forecast significant budget cuts for the State of Wyoming beginning in July of this year at a news conference on April 2, 2009.
The Governor said the state needs to tighten its belt.
“The current informal estimate is that we will be required to reduce general fund expenditures by between $300 and 325 million dollars in the second year of this biennium, commencing July 1, 2009,” he said.
The Governor predicted that because property and severance tax collections lag behind one year, the next several years will be difficult for Wyoming since energy prices have been unusually low for months.
“Remember that this is just the beginning of what’s going to be at least three years of difficult budgets,” he said.
In making budget reductions, the Governor said he is committed to preserving capital construction projects if possible in order to maintain and create jobs in Wyoming. He noted that the construction and energy sectors reflect the largest job losses in the state.
Lower energy prices driven down by the global economic recession are primarily to blame for the reduction in revenues, the Governor said.
“The thing that is fundamentally driving this is the fact that the price of natural gas is a little less than one third today of what it was a year ago," he said. "The consequences of that are pretty clear in that when that price drops by two thirds, it has consequences all through the system.”
