What: Grant of easement (agenda item 34F) from the Air Force to the city for a one-year, no-cost use of about 36.5 acres on the eastern edge of F.E. Warren Air Force Base for a Cheyenne Frontier Days park-and-ride lot.
Where it stands: Recommended for approval on 2026-10-19.
Next: City Council; a construction agreement with Frontier Days and a long-term lease are to follow.

About 2,868 stalls, 39 ADA stalls paved and the rest aggregate; includes a Patriot Drive extension and a new entrance near Randall Avenue at gate one. Intended for Frontier Days 2027, with buses until a bridge to the grounds is built in a later phase.
City accepts the property as is and takes on insurance and restoration obligations; the Air Force may end the easement on 120 days notice.
Mary Kay Hill of the Frontier Days board said the lot is funded entirely by Frontier Days, with no public dollars, and will relieve neighborhoods south of the grounds.
Presented by City Engineer Cobb, who said the site is under Air Force jurisdiction and the non-ADA stalls will be aggregate.

Charles Miller asked whether the lot relies on the gravel exceptions in Gravel Parking Lots in the Unified Development Code, who covers insurance and restoration if the easement ends, and asked that the follow-on agreements return to the committee.
Laybourn raised the Greenway connection; Rinne lamented the loss of a golf course to the lot.
