The Pine Canyon development is located along the south edge of John Wesley Powell Boulevard (JWP) and is accessed from Lake Mary Road via JWP and from the north by Lonetree Road.  Pine Canyon functions as a residential subdivision with country club amenities including golf, swimming and a clubhouse.
 
In 1987, the City of Flagstaff annexed 445 acres of land into the city limits in conjunction with a 752 acre development known as Fairway Peaks.  The proposed development included 1,433 single-family dwelling units, 150 apartments, undefined commercial uses on 10 acres and an 18-hole golf course/clubhouse and maintenance facility.  At the same time, the City amended the Growth Management Guide 2000 from Urban Reserve to the various land use categories represented today.  The property was conditionally rezoned from the RR district to several different residential and commercial districts in 1987. 
 
In June of 2000, the Council approved a rezoning request and development agreement allowing the development of 210 condominiums, 125 affordable manufactured housing units, 242 estate twin house units, 524 estate homes, 23,550 sq ft of private clubhouse and recreational facilities, 12,000 sq ft in maintenance and storage facilities, and 220 acres dedicated for an 18-hole golf course with accessory facilities located on roughly 660 acres referred to as “The Estates at Pine Canyon.”
 
At its meeting of August 14, 2007, the Planning and Zoning commission reviewed and approved a tentative plat for the subdivision, the same plat that is being presented today. 
 
An application for final plat for Unit 5 at Pine Canyon was not forwarded to the Council for review and the tentative plat approval has lapsed.  This application is a resurrection of the process.
 
The applicant, True Life Communities, is requesting final plat approval to permit a forty-seven lot, single-family, detached residential subdivision on 29.5 acres.  The subdivision is a re-subdivision of tracts 6 and 7 and portions of tracts B, E and F of the Estates at Pine Canyon Unit One.  The lots range in size from roughly 14,000 sq ft to 33,000 sq ft with the exception of lot 332 which is considerably larger at 70,101 sq ft. A single-family home is expected to be located on each of these lots.  The zoning code will also allow accessory structures and an accessory dwelling unit on each lot. 

The platting process does not require a public hearing.  However, the preliminary plat was reviewed by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council at public meetings.
