Flagstaff Regional Plan
  • Policy LU.2.2. Design new development to coordinate with existing and future development, in an effort to preserve viewsheds, strengthen connectivity, and establish compatible and mutually supportive land uses.
  • Policy LU.5.1. Encourage development patterns within the designated growth boundaries to sustain efficient infrastructure projects and maintenance.

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

  • On February 10, 2021, The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 in favor of forwarding this Preliminary Plat to the City Council with a recommendation of approval.
  • City Council approved the Final Plat for the Club Cabin Condominiums at the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit 1 on September 17, 2019, a four-unit residential condominium subdivision on the same parcel as the Club Cabin Condominiums 2 Preliminary Plat. City Council approved the Preliminary Plat for the Club Cabin Condominiums at the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit 1 on August 27, 2019.

Options and Alternatives:

1. Approve the Preliminary Plat with no conditions, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Approve the Preliminary Plat with conditions. 
3. Deny the Preliminary Plat based on non-compliance with the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, and/or the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure.

Background and History:

On December 4, 2020, the Inter-Division Staff approved a Site Plan for three (3) new 5,096 sq. ft., detached residential units (PZ-20-00139-02) on Tract K of the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit 1 subdivision plat. Civil plans for these three (3) cabins are currently under review, and Building Permit applications will be submitted shortly. New water service and a fire hydrant will need to be provided for this project.
 
The three (3) cabins in this application are in addition to four (4) cabins on Tract K that previously received Site Plan approval in 2016 (PZ-15-00111-02) and were subsequently platted as condominiums (PZ-18-00168-02). City Council approved the Final Plat for the Club Cabin Condominiums at the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit 1 on September 17, 2019. The applicant has received Building Permits to construct the four (4) cabins; two (2) are built, and two (2) are under construction.

Key Considerations:

The 2020 Site Plan approval of the project signifies it complies with the standards in Title 10: Zoning Code and Title 13: Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure. However, the developer has opted to create a condominium plat to separate ownership of each unit from ownership of the land beneath. In this case, the units are defined as the airspace extending 40’ above the building footprint. The airspace includes all components of each structure, including porches and balconies. Shared areas such as the sidewalks and the parking area are considered “common elements.”
 
The three proposed units also comply with the regulations in Title 11: General Plans and Subdivisions, as evidenced by Inter-Division Staff approval of the Preliminary Plat on December 4, 2020.

Community Involvement:

The Club Cabin Condominiums 2 at the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit 1 will provide a place to stay for Pine Canyon members and their families, and prospective Pine Canyon residents.

Expanded Options and Alternatives:

Inform. No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision Code as part of the Preliminary Subdivision Plat review process.
