Coconino County officials are addressing significant zoning challenges that impact local property owners, as highlighted during a recent Planning and Zoning Study Session and Public Hearing. Juliette Moores, a resident and property owner in East Flagstaff, shared her struggles with the current zoning regulations that have rendered her property at 7725 Highway 89 nearly unusable.
Moores, who described herself as a single mother and not a professional developer, expressed gratitude for the support she received from CDE Engineering and the county's Planning and Zoning staff. She emphasized the difficulties faced by property owners like herself, who inherit zoning issues that complicate their ability to utilize or improve their properties. The existing zoning restrictions not only hinder potential development but also limit the property’s value and taxability.
During the meeting, Moores urged county officials to consider the implications of the current zoning laws, which she described as slow and cumbersome. She highlighted the need for a more streamlined process that would allow property owners to navigate rezoning and permitting more effectively.
The discussions at the meeting underscored the importance of addressing zoning regulations that affect community members and their ability to make productive use of their properties. As Coconino County moves forward, the insights shared by residents like Moores may play a crucial role in shaping future zoning policies and improving the overall development landscape in the area.
