33 Acre Parcel Proposed Development
Bordered by hundreds of acres of state trust land nestled on a ridge in the ponderosa pines with sweeping views of the peaks. The ultimate in seclusion and privacy yet minutes from the amenities of downtown Flagstaff
Subdivision Option 1 – Current Zoning Estate Residential
50% Of the 33 Acre Parcel is to be set aside for Green Space & Wildlife Corridor.
10-12 Secluded 1 Acre Home Sites
ESTATE RESIDENTIAL (ER) DISTRICT. The Estate Residential (ER) District is intended to provide for estate-type housing on large lots. The district is intended to encourage landscaping and buffers that make this district look as rural in appearance as possible. The cluster options in this district are further intended to promote natural resource protection for use in the more rural part of the City of Flagstaff. This district is primarily designed for the utilization and enjoyment of the City’s unique mountain environment. Where substantial areas of open space are provided, this district permits single-family dwellings of the single-family
detached cluster house, lot-line house, village house, twin house, patio house, and atrium house types in planned developments. Land subdivided or developed within this district shall be served by public water and sewer facilities, except for existing lots of record. (Ord. 2000-08, 6/6/00)
Subdivsion Option 2 – Zoning Change to Rural Residential
5 Secluded 5 Acres Rural Homes Site
NOTE: A Zoning Change would be required. ER to RR would be the most intuitive zoning change with a high probability of success.
The R-R-E District is designed to protect the established neighborhoods and for the development of privately-owned lands for residential and agricultural uses in those non-urbanizing areas of the City which cannot economically and efficiently be provided all those City services which are necessary for urban living. This district is primarily designed for the utilization and enjoyment of the City of Flagstaff’s unique mountain environment with a minimum of services and improvements. These areas are designated
“VL”, Very Low Density Residential, on the City’s General Plan/Land Use Plan. This district is also used to protect the undeveloped areas on the fringe of urban development, pending development for general urban or residential purposes. In this sense the R-R-E District may be considered a “holding zone” for vacant lands until such time as circumstances warrant more intensive development which would require a zoning change. These areas are designated in categories other than “VL” on the Land Use Plan. In all cases the City’s General Plan and its Land Use Plan shall guide appropriate densities and development options in the R-R-E District. (Ord. 1997, 6-15-99)
Subdivision Option 3 Zoning Change to R1 Residential District
RESIDENTIAL (R1) DISTRICT. The Residential (R1) District is intended to provide for areas in which the principal land use is single-family residential. It is also intended that this district be used to allow for the development of single-family dwellings of the single-family detached house, lot-line house, village house, patio house, and atrium house types, as well as other types listed as Planned Options in Chapter 10-05. The atrium form of housing is intended to be used in transitional areas to buffer single-family from non-residential or multiple-family districts. Using this housing type along the edge of the lot also protects areas with sensitive environmental characteristics. Land subdivided or developed within this district shall be served by public water and sewer facilities. (Ord. 2000-08, 6/6/00)
City of Flagstaff Subdivision Approval
To obtain subdivision approval, there is a three-step process consisting of the Conceptual, Preliminary and Final Plat review.
Subject Property is zoned Estate Residential currently. The neighboring parcels to the north are zoned Residential R1 and the southern neighboring parcel is zoned Residential rural. The the west is State Trust Land. In preliminary discussions with the city of Flagstaff
