Sheridan meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Sheridan council to weigh 0.50% sales tax referral; recent meetings produced no decisions

No formal decisions were made at Sheridan's government meetings over the past two weeks. All four recent sessions were agenda-only, with minutes not yet published, and each item was for discussion or proposal rather than a final vote. The most consequential action on the horizon is a City Council vote today, Aug. 24, on whether to refer a 0.50% sales and use tax increase to voters for public safety.

Sheridan City Council to weigh marijuana tax hike, rezoning, and wastewater rules; minutes not yet published

Sheridan's City Council has a packed agenda from its July 27 meeting, but residents should note that minutes have not yet been published — so the items below reflect what was scheduled for consideration, not what was formally decided.

On the financial side, the agenda included approval of disbursements from July 1 to July 15, 2026, totaling $579,359.23.

Because minutes are not yet available, vote tallies and final outcomes for these items are not confirmed.

Council Work Session — July 27

A separate work session was scheduled the same evening covering two discussion items:

Work sessions are typically for discussion only; no formal votes are taken. Minutes for this session are also not yet published.

Sheridan meetings set marijuana tax, ADU rules, and rezoning for discussion; outcomes pending

Sheridan's City Council and Planning Commission met the week of July 13, but official minutes have not yet been published, so it is not yet possible to report what was decided. Based on the published agendas, the most consequential items scheduled for action or discussion were a proposed retail marijuana sales tax increase, changes to accessory dwelling unit setback rules, and a rezoning application at 3600 S. Federal Blvd.

City Council — July 13

The City Council agenda listed two ordinances and a batch of disbursements:

• **Ordinance 9-2026**: An ordinance amending accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rear setback standards. ADUs are smaller secondary homes on the same lot as a main house; setback rules govern how close a structure can sit to a property line.
• **Ordinance 10-2026**: A first reading of an ordinance to increase the retail marijuana sales tax from 5% to 8%.
• **Approval of disbursements** totaling $839,512.81.

Because minutes are not yet available, the vote tallies and final disposition of these items are not recorded here.

City Council Work Session — July 13

A separate work session agenda included two discussion items:

• The **Sheridan Housing Implementation Plan**.
• A **sales tax discussion**.

Work sessions are generally for discussion rather than formal votes. No outcome details are available.

Planning Commission — July 15

The Planning Commission agenda included a public hearing, a procedural discussion, and a leadership appointment:

• **Public Hearing: Resolution 4-2026**, a rezoning application for property at 3600 S. Federal Blvd. Rezoning changes what types of uses are allowed on a given parcel.
• **Discussion: Updated Rules of Procedure** for the Commission.
• **Action Item: Appointment of a Vice Chair**.

As with the Council meetings, minutes have not been published, so the results of the public hearing and the appointment are not yet known.

What this means for residents

The marijuana tax proposal, if adopted, would raise the local sales tax on retail marijuana purchases from 5% to 8%. The ADU setback changes could affect homeowners who have or want to build a secondary unit on their property. The rezoning at 3600 S. Federal Blvd. could change allowable uses at that location. Residents should watch for the published minutes to learn what was actually decided.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official agenda postings for any newly scheduled sessions.

Sheridan meetings set wildfire code, ADU rules, liquor license — but outcomes not yet confirmed

Sheridan's recent government meetings covered a range of consequential items — a wildfire resiliency code, accessory dwelling unit setback changes, fast-tracked affordable housing review, and a liquor license hearing — but because minutes have not yet been published, no outcomes or vote tallies are available. The summaries below reflect what was on each agenda, not what was decided.

City Council — June 22, 2026

The City Council agenda listed three substantive items alongside a consent agenda. None of the results are confirmed because minutes have not been published.

• **Ordinance 8-2026 (second reading):** Adoption of the 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code. A second reading typically indicates the ordinance was previously introduced and is now eligible for final adoption, but the agenda does not state the outcome.
• **Ordinance 9-2026 (first reading):** An amendment to rear setback standards for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). A first reading is an introduction; no final decision was scheduled.
• **Resolution 21-2026:** A proposal to establish expedited review policies for affordable housing projects.
• **Consent agenda:** Approval of $511,046.33 in disbursements for June 1–15, 2026.
• **Staff reports:** Permit and court reports for May 2026 were also scheduled for review.

A separate City Council Work Session on the same date carried the same items, including the wildfire code, ADU setback amendment, affordable housing resolution, and the $511,046.33 disbursement approval.

Sheridan Redevelopment Agency — June 22, 2026

The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency agenda included two disbursement approvals and a financial report review:

• **May 2026 disbursements:** $167,766.87
• **June 2026 disbursements:** $177,089.83
• **Teresa Report:** Review of the April 2026 Teresa Report.

Combined, the two disbursement items total $344,856.70. Outcomes are not confirmed because minutes have not been published.

Local Licensing Authority — June 26, 2026

The Local Licensing Authority scheduled a public hearing on a hotel/restaurant liquor license application for Smokin' Outlaw Kitchen LLC at 4211 S. Natches Ct. Unit A. The agenda indicates the authority would likely decide on the application, but no outcome is recorded in the available materials. Approval of prior meeting minutes was also listed.

What this means for residents

• The **wildfire resiliency code**, if adopted, would align Sheridan with the 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, affecting building and safety standards.
• The **ADU setback amendment** could change where accessory dwelling units may be built on a property.
• The **affordable housing expedited review** resolution, if passed, would create a faster permitting path for qualifying projects.
• The **liquor license hearing** for Smokin' Outlaw Kitchen could determine whether the business may serve alcohol at its S. Naches Ct. location.

Because all four meetings are listed as "agenda only (minutes not yet published)," residents should treat the above as scheduled business, not confirmed decisions. Official minutes, when published, will record votes and any amendments.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days (through July 20, 2026). Residents should check the city's official calendar for any newly posted or special meetings.
