The Cody Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 17, 2025, to discuss the proposed Temple View Subdivision, which aims to create three residential lots in the area. The subdivision, designed for single-family homes, includes lots measuring 2,000 square feet, 26,148 square feet, and 28,553 square feet.

City staff reported that the plat has been reviewed by various city departments and utility providers, with no significant comments from the latter. All concerns raised by the Public Works Department have been addressed, leading staff to recommend the approval of the subdivision and the requested variances.

One key variance involves reducing the front yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet for the R-1 residential zoning. This adjustment is intended to facilitate the construction of homes while still adhering to the overall design criteria set forth for the subdivision. The commission clarified that the front of the lots will face Temple View Drive, although homeowners may choose to orient their houses differently.

Another significant discussion point was the transition of an existing easement into a city right-of-way. This change is crucial for the future maintenance and public use of Temple View Drive, which will provide access to the new lots. The city will ensure that essential utilities, including treated water and sanitary sewer, are available to the subdivision through this right-of-way.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of these developments for the community, as they not only address housing needs but also enhance infrastructure in the area. The commission's next steps will involve finalizing the approval process for the subdivision and ensuring that all necessary utilities are in place for future residents.
