Community Development Seeks Public Comment on Subdivision Ordinance
Coconino County Community Development is seeking public comment on the draft County Subdivision Ordinance. The draft has had input from a citizen advisory group, local design professionals, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
The Subdivision Ordinance regulates the division of land in the County within State Statutes. The draft Subdivision Ordinance addresses the goals of the County Comprehensive Plan with the concept of Integrated Conservation Design which encourages conservation areas and protects environmentally sensitive natural features. The draft Subdivision Ordinance also incentivizes well planned subdivisions and is intended to improve flexibility and clarity in the subdivision development process.
The draft Subdivision Ordinance is available for review and comment at the Community Developmentwebsite through the end of October 2018. Community Development also invites the public to attend an open house to discuss the draft Subdivision Ordinance from 4 – 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, at the Community Development conference room, 2500 N.
