INFORMATION
As an optional element(s) within the plan, Arizona Smart Growth Legislation outlines this topic as a community's opportunity to address how to remain unique, preserve or enhance a particular sense of place, and to encourage civic pride. This chapter received considerable input from the general public, various commissions and community groups. When the public is asked "How would you envision Flagstaff in 20 years" most replies are about the way the community looks, as it is the first thing people 'envision' in their minds. This underscores the importance of taking this topic into consideration, as future growth greatly impacts the character of a community. Please see the attached power point presentation for details of the 'Community Character' chapter.
