Flagstaff Southside Community Plan draft public comment period

FLAGSTAFF — The city of Flagstaff will start a 60-day public review of the draft Southside Community Plan on Dec. 6, 2019.  A community plan is used to inform future public projects, rezoning cases, and updates to codes and regulations. Nothing presented in the draft plan is final. Based on the public feedback received during this review period, the plan may be changed before it is submitted to the City Council. All documents and public meeting information will be available online at www.flagstaff.az.gov/southsideplan. 

A community meeting will be held at the South Beaver School (506 S Beaver Street) on Jan. 9, 2020 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Information about other meetings and opportunities to participate are posted on the project website. 

The Southside community and the city of Flagstaff have worked together on the draft plan for two years. This extensive public engagement effort included canvassing residents and business owners, workshops, open houses, coffee chats, and on-the-street meetings. The draft plan and the 60-day review provide an important opportunity to review the plan and to provide comments.

All comments submitted to the project team during the 60-day public review will be shared with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council as part of the final approval for the Southside Community Plan, which is anticipated in the June 2020.
