The Flagstaff Regional Plan 2045 Update is a joint process of the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County.  For the past two years, the project team has been meeting with the public about their vision and values and working on a scenario planning effort.  A Regional Plan Committee has been appointed to guide the policy translation of these efforts and review the draft plan as it is being developed. 

The Flagstaff Regional Plan is the General Plan for the City and a comprehensive plan amendment for Coconino County.  The planning area encompasses the City of Flagstaff and unincorporated areas within the Metroplan boundary for Greater Flagstaff jurisdiction.  This intergovernmental approach creates a stronger foundation for land, transportation, water, and natural resources management and planning.  As a shared policy guide for the region, it influences future land use, infrastructure, and social and economic conditions for generations.  It is therefore critical that the process for creating and adopting the plan is inclusive and endorsed by the elected officials.

In March 2021, City Council and the Board of Supervisors, separately reviewed and provided feedback on the Public Participation Outline for the update process, and since then, have had regular updates jointly and separately with opportunities to review and provide feedback on the efforts planned and underway.
