Coconino County Zoning Ordinance public hearing set for Sept. 25

FLAGSTAFF — The hearing is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019 with the Planning and Zoning Commission, at 219 E Cherry Ave., Flagstaff, Ariz.

The public is invited to a public hearing regarding the updated Coconino County Zoning Ordinance.

In June 2017, the Coconino County Board of Supervisors initiated a comprehensive update to the Coconino County Zoning Ordinance. Managed internally by County Planning and Zoning staff, this update has been informed step by step by the Community Development Advisory Group (CDAG), a Technical Advisory Group, during study sessions with the Planning and Zoning Commission and during work sessions with the Board of Supervisors.

The focus of this update is to:

•    Modernize the six-chapter code by reviewing land uses for those that are obsolete or unused, introduce new land uses to reflect changing trends, and update the definitions.

•    Review land uses that currently require conditional use permits for those that may be administratively permitted instead, meaning that these land uses may be permitted either with an administrative or a building permit.

•    Clarify and improve performance standards to guide design and standards for new and updated uses.

•    Streamline and clarify administrative processes, such as expanding waiver criteria for administrative adjustments.

•    Format the document with styles, correct numbering, adding new and updated graphics, colors, labeled headers and footers and electronic document links.
