The Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission convened on August 27, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including public hearings and procedural matters. The meeting, led by Chair Burton, began with a roll call confirming the absence of Commissioner Leslie, who had previously notified the commission of his unavailability.

Chair Burton outlined the meeting's rules and procedures, emphasizing the importance of respectful discourse during public comments. Each speaker was allotted three minutes to address the commission, and all comments were to be directed respectfully to the commission members. The commission's decisions on zone changes and preliminary subdivision plat approvals are advisory to the Board of Supervisors, while other decisions are binding unless appealed within 15 days.

The commission approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on July 30, 2025, with a motion from Vice Chair Wilson and a second from Commissioner Berger. The vote passed with a majority, although Commissioners Walsh and Williams abstained.

Following the approval of minutes, the commission opened the floor for public comments on items not listed on the agenda. However, no members of the public raised their hands to speak, leading the commission to proceed to the scheduled public hearings, starting with case number 25-30.

This meeting marks a continued effort by Coconino County to engage the community in planning and zoning discussions, ensuring that public input is considered in local governance. The commission's next steps will involve deliberations on the public hearing cases presented.
