REGIONAL PLAN:
Goal LU.13. Increase the variety of housing options and expand opportunities for employment and neighborhood shopping within all suburban neighborhoods.

The Pine Canyon development was approved by Council through a rezoning (Ordinance No. 2000-11) and development agreement in June of 2000.  

A revised development agreement was approved in January of 2007 to resolve disputes between the Developer of Pine Canyon and the City of Flagstaff with respect to the Rezoning Ordinance.  This agreement stipulates that the Developer may, at its option, abandon the third entrance to Pine Canyon, providing the main entrance and the clubhouse entrance remain open and available for ingress and egress to the public. 

In October of 2013, the City Council approved an agreement with the Developer that committed the City to erect and maintain a directional sign at the intersection of Lake Mary Road and John Wesley Powell Boulevard, committed staff support to amend the rezoning ordinance to modify the gated provision during night time, and extended the developers transportation improvement contribution.    In May of 2014, the City Council approved a modification to Ordinance No. 2000-11 to modify Condition #8 which stated "That all private roads within the development remain open to the public and never be gated" to "All streets within Pine Canyon shall remain open to the public, without the use of a gate, from sunrise to sunset.  Any means to restrict access to the streets of Pine Canyon may only be utilized from sunset to sunrise and never restrict emergency access."

1. Approve the Preliminary Plat, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Approve the Preliminary Plat with new, modified or no 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.

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.  After development approvals lapsed for this project a new case was brought forward in 2000 for what is today Pine Canyon.  In June of 2000, the City Council approved a rezoning request and development agreement allowing the development of Pine Canyon, which includes a mixture of condominium, estate twin houses (duplex units), estate homes, clubhouse and recreational facilities, maintenance and storage facilities, and an 18-hole private golf course with accessory facilities, located on approximately 660 acres.

All development, including all subdivision plats, within the property known as Pine Canyon are subject to the requirements of the City's Zoning Code, Subdivision Code and Engineering standards as well as the ordinance rezoning the property to its current zoning categories and subsequent agreements. The proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the Zoning Code (City Code Title 10), the Subdivision Code (City Code Title 11), and the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure (City Code Title 13).  The preliminary plat was reviewed and approved by the Inter-Division Staff on October 5, 2015.

Inform.  The existing zoning of the Subject Property allows for the proposed subdivision.  No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision Regulations as part of the preliminary subdivision plat review process.
