Nearly a year after a developer dropped a proposed student housing project at the intersection of Lone Tree and J.W. Powell Boulevard, a new project has taken its place.
But the development, proposed by southern California developer Valeo on property owned by Pine Canyon, has proven just as controversial with neighbors as the previous project.
Flagstaff city staff say the project is in line with the area’s zoning code and thus has no need to go before the planning and zoning commission or the Flagstaff City Council. An online community meeting for neighbors concerned about the project this past week was held.
