A streamlined rezoning process that backers see as key to improving Flagstaff’s economic competitiveness is moving toward a final, contentious vote by the City Council next month.
“(Concept zoning) would send a message that Flagstaff is open for business,” Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce President Julie Pastrick told the council earlier this month.
A proposed amendment to the city Zoning Code would give property owners and developers the option to get approval for a zoning change without requiring a more specific and costly site plan review until a later time, and then usually without council oversight.
