Consideration of the Minutes of the Proceedings for November 13, 2025.

Summary

This document contains the draft minutes from the Laramie County Planning Commission meeting held on November 13, 2025. The meeting included the following actions:

• Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the September 11, 2025 meeting were approved.
• CONNECT 2050 Presentation: Jennifer Corso presented the CONNECT 2050 plan, the long-range transportation and future land use plan for the Cheyenne Urbanized Area through the year 2050. The commission recommended its approval to the Laramie County Board of County Commissioners. Funding for the plan is primarily from the MPO (90%) with the County and City contributing 5% each, sourced from federal transportation enhancement funds.
• IRC Section R105.2 Amendment: The commission considered an amendment to the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) Section R105.2, which exempts work from permits. The amendment will increase the allowable square footage for single-story residential accessory structures from 200 to 400 square feet before a building permit is required. This change will exempt shipping containers, sheds, and smaller carports from permit requirements. The commission recommended approval of this amendment to the Board of County Commissioners.

Citizen Impact

Residents will benefit from an updated long-range transportation and land use plan (CONNECT 2050). Additionally, the increase in the allowable square footage for accessory structures (like sheds and carports) from 200 to 400 sq ft means fewer small structures will require a building permit.
