How is Cheyenne zoned?
Cheyenne regulates land through 24 zoning districts, and the mixed use districts are distinguished by which use dominates: Mixed Use Business Emphasis at roughly 744 acres and Mixed Use Residential Emphasis at about 127.
Naming the emphasis rather than the intensity is a useful distinction, since it tells a developer which use the district expects to lead rather than only how much can be built. A third Mixed Use County district covers roughly 27 acres.
The Neighborhood Residential districts, numbered 2 and 3 for medium and high density, cover roughly 209 acres together, sitting alongside the plain low, medium and high density residential districts.
Medium Density Residential is the largest classification at roughly 5,124 acres.
A Land Use district at roughly 84 acres is an unusually generic name, and a Support Services district covers about 73.
The agricultural districts distinguish setting: City Agricultural at roughly 2,132 acres, Agricultural Residential at about 389 and an Agricultural And Rural Residential district at roughly 46.
An Airport District covers roughly 903 acres and a Business Park about 1,393.
Light industrial covers roughly 3,430 acres and heavy industrial about 1,885, together the third and sixth largest classifications. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
