- Meeting Date:

- Bryce Doty, Real Estate Manager
TITLE:
Acceptance of Dedications: The Highlands at Canyon Del Rio Block R1 Phase I Final Plat
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept the dedications.
Executive Summary:
City council currently accepts dedications of rights of way and easements prior to final plat recordation. State HB 2447 requires administrative approval of the subdivision platting process. City Ordinance No. 2026-06 removes the requirement for council to accept dedications affiliated with a subdivision plat to make the subdivision review process completely administrative to comply with HB 2447. The Final Plat of the Highlands at Canyon Del Rio Block R1 Phase I has been administratively approved, but Ordinance No. 2026-06 is not yet effective. In the interim, City staff is asking council to accept the dedications on the plat through this action. The plat dedicates public right-of-way, clear view zone, drainage, drainage maintenance, Flagstaff urban trails system, public utility, public access, sewer, vehicular non-access, and water easements to the City of Flagstaff.
