Cody Council Approves First Reading for 76-Acre Annexation Off Big Horn Avenue

The Cody City Council unanimously approved on first reading Tuesday night the annexation of approximately 76 acres off Big Horn Avenue, after amending the original zoning request to include a 150-foot-wide R-2 residential buffer along the parcel's north and east sides. Landowner Pearre Williams had initially sought D-3 commercial zoning for the entire tract but agreed to the buffer following objections from some neighbors. The annexation must pass two additional readings for final approval. City planner Jenny Kramer said Wednesday that Williams is working with the city on a minor subdivision creating five lots, though no formal application has been filed; a pre-application meeting was scheduled for the same week.

The city plans to implement an electronic work-order system to schedule routine maintenance for park infrastructure.
