During Tuesday night’s Sheridan City Council meeting, members considered and approved Resolution 1526, which authorizes the final plat for the Falcons Nest Two Minor Subdivision. The subdivision, spanning 30.4 acres, is located at 426 Kingfisher Avenue and 2100 Pheasant Draw Road.
Planning details and zoning
City Planner Kelly Schroeder explained that the area is currently zoned R1 Residence District, which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. Setbacks will be enforced at the time a building permit is issued, ensuring that new homes meet the city’s standards for spacing and privacy.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the final plat, emphasizing the importance of preserving options for future development. Staff members echoed this sentiment, stating that the subdivision aligns with Sheridan’s long‑term growth strategy and provides additional housing choices for families seeking a suburban lifestyle.
Council action
Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the council voted to adopt PL 2626 Resolution 1526, formally approving the Falcons Nest Two Minor Subdivision final plat. Council members highlighted that the development will add new residential lots while maintaining the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
Mayor [Mayor’s Name] praised the collaborative effort between the planning staff, the commission, and the council, noting that the project reflects Sheridan’s commitment to thoughtful, family‑focused growth. The approval also supports the city’s broader goals of expanding housing options for traditional families and strengthening the local tax base.
What’s next?
With the final plat approved, developers can move forward with detailed site plans, infrastructure design, and the issuance of building permits. Residents can expect construction to begin later this year, pending any additional approvals required for utilities and road access.
The city will continue to monitor the project’s progress to ensure compliance with zoning standards and to address any concerns from neighboring property owners. Community members are encouraged to stay informed through future council meetings and city updates.
