Planning Districts
The Future Land Use Plan identifies two areas for additional planning. These districts are (1) Gateway Planning District and (2) the Archer Planning District.

Gateway Planning District
The Gateway Planning District is one of the key gateways in and out of Cheyenne on the south end of the community. The intent for this planning district is to promote cohesive, attractive, economically viable development that will not detrimentally affect traffic and the transportation system. Quality of design and natural areas protection and views are important in this area. It will be important to work with property owners to improve the image of the gateways and reduce further proliferation of billboards, as addressed through strategies in BuildCheyenne.

The Archer Planning District
The Archer Planning District is one of the community's gateways—to the east. This area has been proposed as a future Fair Grounds location, but future development plans are uncertain and still under discussion. As with the Gateway Planning District, cohesive development, quality of design, utilities and services, and protection of resources and views will be important considerations in this area.

Natural/Cultural Resource Areas
The Future Land Use Plan identifies Natural/Cultural Resource areas to the west adjacent to the U.S.D.A. Research Station, the northeast corner of the planning boundary, and to the south of the Urban Service Area along the ridgelines and Crow Creek. These are undeveloped lands rich with natural and cultural values. This plan promotes conserving these areas and encourages developers to transfer development away from sensitive resources or ridgelines. BuildCheyenne addresses a variety of strategies that balance fairness with property owners and that still accomplish the goal of steering development away or designing it carefully to protect resources.
