The Laramie Code Audit is a document that addresses and identifies barriers within our DC, R3 and R2 zone districts that exist in the Laramie Municipal Code, more specifically, focusing on the dimensional standards under Section 15.12 of the LMC. The document outlines all of these challenges through collected data, community surveys and case studies from around the nation that highlight how we may be able to start solving some of these issues. It outlines the more specific challenges we experience from our income gap and housing prices, to demographic concerns and where the City code is a deterrent to sustainable growth. This document outlines the goals and objectives that we hope to use to tackle our housing challenges in Laramie.

Public feedback was instrumental in developing the strategies and actions in the 2020 Laramie Housing Strategy and the 2020 Laramie Code Audit. This document represents a summary of feedback from widespread conversations and meetings with local leaders, developers, engaged community members and the general public as The City of Laramie and Community Builders developed the Thrive Laramie Plan.

Our findings and recommendations have been laid out in the three documents below. The City, community partners and Community Builders have started addressing housing through a comprehensive review of the challenges our home owners, renters, developers and contractors face when approaching the Laramie housing market. The City’s and Community Builder’s first approach to activating the Thrive Laramie Plan is to address our housing challenges. Thrive Laramie: A Community and Economic Development Action Strategy for the Next 10 years To that end, the City of Laramie and Community Builders are continuing to collaborate through a multi-pronged approach transform Laramie’s housing market.

The Thrive Laramie plan, adopted in early 2020, includes improvements to Laramie’s housing market among its top recommendations. The planning process was facilitated by a national economic development consulting firm, 4th Economy, which looked holistically at Laramie’s economy, and Community Builders, a non-profit economic and community development organization, which looked specifically at Laramie’s housing market. The planning process was guided by locally sourced, professionally vetted, and community driven solutions to build on Laramie’s assets and to overcome barriers to success. In 2019, the City of Laramie, along with state and local economic development and educational partners, non-profit organizations, and community stakeholders embarked on an effort to develop a comprehensive 10-year economic development plan known as Thrive Laramie.
