Planning staff described a large redevelopment of a partially completed industrial facility at North Cody Industrial Park that would add 12 magazine storage containers, finish paving and landscaping, revise parking and grading, add a detention facility for stormwater and install two additional light poles adjacent to the magazine storage area. The existing building was originally permitted for pharmaceutical production and later for apparel manufacturing; the new tenant is proposing changes tied to intensive industrial use. Staff noted the tallest portion of the building is 82 feet and that the property lies in the Heavy Industrial zoning district.

Staff outlined required compliance with local, state and federal permits for intensive industrial operations, noting a stormwater pollution prevention plan will be required from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WYDEQ) and that an emergency response plan must be submitted to the Park County Fire Marshal prior to certificate of occupancy. \"The use is classified as an intensive industrial use,\" staff said, adding that the Fire Marshal will be involved in building-review and life-safety issues.

Board members raised multiple operational questions, including lighting, landscaping species, parking counts and waste collection. The applicant confirmed willingness to replace the proposed sumac (described in the plans as a species with undesirable odor) with alternative shrubs: \"Absolutely. We could we could just do all ponderose pine,\" John McHugh, chief executive officer of US Police Technologies, said when asked about replacing the shrubs. The applicant said the currently purchased light poles for earlier plans were already on site; staff said the two additional poles in the magazine area must meet the city\u0000s current lighting ordinance unless a jurisdiction with higher authority (for security) requires otherwise. Staff told the board that if federal requirements exceed city standards, the facility may follow those federal requirements under the lighting-code exemption.

The proposed parking was reduced from an earlier approval of 51 paved spaces to 31 paved spaces, including two ADA-accessible spaces. Staff also identified outstanding requirements before occupancy: completion and acceptance of utility easements and a maintenance agreement for water mains, certification of stormwater facilities by the applicant\u0000s engineer, approval of an emergency response plan by the Park County Fire Marshal, and evidence of necessary state or federal permits as applicable.

A motion by Dan to approve the commercial site plan and landscape plan for US Ballistics, including staff conditions 1 through 10 and modifying the landscape plan to swap the sumac for a different species (Potentilla), was seconded and passed by the board.

Staff was authorized to approve minor modifications to the site plan; several items remain conditions of occupancy and must be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, including permits, easements and system certifications.

The board record references coordination with ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives): staff said ATF requires local planning and building approvals before issuing federal permits for the magazine structures.

The approved conditions emphasize safety and regulatory compliance and require that the applicant provide documentation of state and federal permit status, utility easements and an emergency response plan before final occupancy.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cody - Planning and Zoning - Jun 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a commercial site plan and landscape plan June 19 for US Ballistics at 125 Road 2 AB, allowing construction of 12 magazine storage containers and related site changes subject to conditions.","taxTitle","Cody, Park County, Wyoming","taxId",68762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6523511,"Cody planning board approves conditional-use permit for commercial kitchen at 108 Spirit Mountain Drive",325,83000,408000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5030955-4a0d4158d66918f6df1761959304eb71&start=83&end=408","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5030955-4a0d4158d66918f6df1761959304eb71/thumbnail_83000.jpg","/articles/6523511/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Cody-planning-board-approves-conditional-use-permit-for-commercial-kitchen-at-108-Spirit-Mountain-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523511-3b23a90d8908a00484d115bf8c767e63/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184732&Signature=kzPxpfug3Qic8Xq2X70hgN9pOFP9QvDBcXqIe7sj2g5qo83SeCD2xYtdiplf08n6uOIMrY3z-hbeaL7pbCHL04eWKigZXZCkcre~6UvCdSgMW4-dGl9Kq1lRmp4ceDWHSjh1AvHOSo~Fy9w8Ahdkl9DnUuX3udy2NfBPchBQ3DqvX-AijoXWdh4Cg~labSIKoPc4GWWv21H0ZizDdlKy4k2FOILtjFHSuIJEJj90jwYRRyHlTjUAO8T9QJM3MtAos7h3UaIRKJ9-gSxZ4qBJ7xgu8d7zHTcd3ry5ElksRv4vdsltXzNfRMv4BvXEIqxSf4lamkNyY76Phzzf5LkLwg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on June 19 approved a conditional-use permit allowing Michael and Kathleen Howard to construct and operate a commercial kitchen as a small-scale home occupation at 108 Spirit Mountain Drive.

Planning staff presented the application, saying the property is 1.03 acres and that the proposed addition would maintain the existing setbacks and approximately a 40-foot setback from the southern property line. \"Planning staff does not oppose the requested conditional use,\" Community Development Director DeFanda Dye said during the hearing.

The board heard that the home-occupation rules require that the business be accessory to the residence, that work and storage occur within the residence or attached garage, and that the home-occupation area not exceed 500 square feet. Staff noted the proposed addition is to a detached garage but is under 500 square feet and would remain suitable for residential use if the home occupation ceased.

Board members asked how many adjacent property owners were notified and how many responses were received; staff said 27 property owners within 300 feet were mailed notice and seven responses were included in the packet. Board questions also covered utilities and septic: staff said sewer/septic permitting is handled by Park County and that the building official would review the commercial kitchen; because the kitchen will be used only by the property owners, the building official does not require an on-site restroom tied specifically to the detached addition.

A motion to approve the conditional-use permit was made by Ian and seconded by Dan; the board voted in favor and the motion passed. The record shows no written protests were received that would move the decision to the governing body.

The conditional-use permit must be acted on in accordance with the city code provisions referenced during the hearing, including the small-scale home occupation standards and the general conditional-use review criteria. Staff noted the permit must commence within two years of approval if associated with building construction and that the board may attach conditions to ensure compliance with code provisions; in this case staff did not recommend conditions and the board approved without additional conditions.

The board moved on to other business after approving the permit.","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a conditional-use permit for Michael and Kathleen Howard to build a commercial kitchen as a small-scale home occupation at 108 Spirit Mountain Drive, after staff reported no objections and board members discussed utilities, setbacks and occupancy limits.","actionData","errors"]
