Nov. 12 — Coconino County Zoning Ordinance public hearing scheduled

FLAGSTAFF — The public is invited to attend a hearing on the updated Coconino County Zoning Ordinance. The public hearing is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers located at 219 E. Cherry Ave. Flagstaff.

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 worked on by the Community Development Advisory Group (CDAG), a technical advisory group, the Planning and Zoning Commission and 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 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.
