Southside Community Association to host topical stakeholder meetings for Southside Community Plan

FLAGSTAFF — The Southside Community Association will convene a series of stakeholder meetings for the evaluation and creation of possible policies for the Southside Community Plan. The meetings will be held from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on selected Thursdays at the Murdoch Center (203 E Brannen Ave). The meeting dates and topics are as follows:

  • May 16: HOH and in-process zoning updates
  • May 30: Growth and change (affordability and character)
  • June 13: Parking
  • June 27: Historic preservation
  • July 25: Parks and cultural spaces
  • August 1: Flooding
  • August 15: Business and live/work

  • September (TBD): Public safety
  • September (TBD): Draft Plan review

These stakeholder meetings are open to the public. All interested parties are invited to participate in this part of the planning process by observing and commenting at the stakeholder meetings. The meetings will be focused discussions on the night’s topic. Ideas presented during these meetings are the result of five general public meetings, five meetings on-the-street and a stormwater-specific meeting. Additionally, City staff knocked on every residential and business door in the Southside neighborhood to give the opportunity to take a survey.

More information on the effort, the neighborhood, and future involvement opportunities can be found on the project website (www.flagstaff.az.gov/southsideplan).
