Background and History:
TLC PC Land Investors, LLC is seeking Preliminary Plat approval for a 12-lot single-family residential subdivision within the larger Pine Canyon development. Lot sizes range from 9,342 square feet to 21,861 square feet. The subdivision is one of the last undeveloped areas in Pine Canyon and is located between existing golf course and residential uses. The final plat was approved by Council on January 3, 2023. However, there were many small errors in the plat and the Coconino County Recorder's office would not record the document with a list of corrections. This plat has corrected those issues and is now going through the process once again to receive approval.
Since the first approval of the final plat, the applicant has identified an issue with meeting the originally proposed building envelopes. Due to the topography of the site, the side-loaded garage design (which helped to accommodate building envelopes that met resource protection standards) has been changed in order to minimize the length and slope of the driveways. The new building envelopes, slightly modified to make room for front-loaded garages, require a reduction in the required amount of preserved slope. Pursuant to Section 10-50.90.110(B), the Planning and Zoning Commission may allow a modification to the required resources.
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a reduction of the amount of preserved slope and recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat by the City Council on May 8, 2024. City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on June 18, 2024.
