- What: Ordinance amending Cheyenne municipal code 6.08.020 on where livestock may be kept. One of four related agricultural ordinances; see Agricultural-use UDC and municipal code amendments.
- Where it stands: Recommended for approval on second reading on 2026-10-19.
- Next: City Council reading.
Details
- Livestock allowed in the AG, agricultural residential and rural residential districts, and where the UDC allows related uses such as stables and veterinary clinics.
- Grazing that was lawful in the year before annexation may continue, following state statute.
- Exemption for city-used weed and pest control goats stays.
Concerns raised
- Charles Miller asked staff to name the list of requests to amend other parts of chapter 6.08 and pointed to an October 5 attorney letter asking that livestock be defined to include guardian dogs, rodent-control dogs and barn cats, and whether annexation protection applies to the College Drive Owner-Petitioned Annexation parcel. No answer on the record.
