TITLE:

Consideration and Approval of Preliminary Plat: for Fountain Head United, LLC for Camryn Pines subdivision, a one-hundred and twenty-three lot, single-family, detached residential subdivision.  The site is 59.1 acres in size and is located at 4501 South Beulah Boulevard.  The site is zoned R1, Single-Family Residential zone.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the preliminary plat as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Policy Decision or Reason for Action:

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall base a recommendation(s), and the City Council shall find the proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the City of Flagstaff Zoning Code, Title 11, General Plans and Subdivisions and the City of Flagstaff, Engineering Design and Construction Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure.

Financial Impact:

No financial liabilities to the City are anticipated by the approval of this preliminary plat.

Connection to Council Goal:

Retain, expand, and diversify economic base.

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

On June 10, 2008, the City Council approved a preliminary plat for this subdivision.  That preliminary plat was never final platted.  An extension of the preliminary plat approval was granted through August 11, 2011 at which time the final plat application was to be approved by the City Council.  That final plat application was not submitted.

Options and Alternatives:

  1. Approve the plat as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
  2. Approve the plat subject to no conditions, additional conditions, or modified conditions.
  3. Deny approval of the plat based on non-compliance with the zoning code and/or Flagstaff Engineering Design and Construction Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure.

Background/History:

This site is located adjacent to and southwest of the intersection of Beulah Boulevard and Mountain Dell Road.  The entire site is zoned R1, Single-Family Residential, and will allow detached, single-family homes.  The northern subdivision boundary is located adjacent to Mountain Dell Road and the Mountain Dell subdivision, which is located within a county island and outside of the City’s jurisdiction.  Camryn Pines was a part of a Regional Land Use Plan amendment that was approved in 2005 and included roughly 1,000 acres known as Villaggio Montana.  This development includes three parcels that are presently zoned R1, Residential District.
 
The site consists of rolling forested topography; a 120-foot-wide Arizona Public Service easement bisects this site diagonally from the southwest to northeast.  The easement supports above-ground, 69 kilo-watt electric transmission lines.  Other than roads, detention facilities, and trails, no development is proposed to take place within the easement.
 
The Flagstaff Fire Department administered a forest stewardship tree thinning on this site during the summer of 2006.  The northwest corner of the property is impacted by the floodway and floodplain of the Sinclair Wash drainage as it nears the Mountain Dell subdivision.  The floodplain noted as Tract N on the preliminary plat is 4.14 acres in size and is to be dedicated to the City of Flagstaff for administration and maintenance.
 
The lots will be accessed internally from a system of public rights-of-way. Local and local narrow street sections will be provided by the developer.  Dimensioned street sections are located on page two of the attached plat.

Community Involvement:

The existing site zoning allows the proposed subdivision.  No public hearings are required as part of a subdivision plat review.  No members of the public commented on this plat at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
