The Planning and Zoning Commission of Coconino County convened on August 27, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including a public hearing on Conditional Use Permit CEP 20-525-20. The session began with staff presenting their recommendations for approval of the permit, contingent upon specified conditions.
Following the staff report, Vice Chair Wilson raised a question regarding the accuracy of the map displayed during the meeting, which illustrated neighboring comments. He inquired about the last update of the map and whether it reflected the most recent data, including emails received from the public. Staff confirmed that the map was updated the previous week and that no additional input had been received since its creation.
Concerns were also raised about the accuracy of public notice letters sent to property owners. A neighbor had pointed out that the lot number referenced in the notice was incorrect. Staff acknowledged that there had been an initial error in the parcel details but clarified that the applicant was required to resend corrected notices and hold a new public meeting to address the issue.
The meeting continued with further discussions, but the focus remained on ensuring that all procedural requirements were met and that community concerns were adequately addressed. The Commission's deliberations highlighted the importance of accurate communication with residents and the need for transparency in the planning process.
In conclusion, the session underscored the Commission's commitment to thoroughness in handling public input and ensuring that all stakeholders are properly informed. The next steps will involve further review of the permit application and continued engagement with the community as the process moves forward.
