Housing Attainability and LASCAP Implementation
The plan includes no affordable housing units, arguing that added supply and raised minimum densities address the housing crisis. The specific plan bans single-family-only in five development areas and mandates minimum densities to force a mix of housing types.
STL 290 Master Planned Development and Specific Plan
A 290-acre master plan southwest/ne of Pine Canyon would add up to 785 homes (target), a 120-key lodge, and 80,000 sq ft of commercial space on Flagstaff's south side. It hinges on building the John Wesley Powell Boulevard extension and includes four public parks and Arizona Trail connections. City Council makes the final call after the commission's recommendation.
JWP Extension Project and Regional Grant Application
The development would build its portion of the planned John Wesley Powell Boulevard extension, which must connect to Fourth Street before most phases can proceed. Roundabouts at Lone Tree/JW Powell and Lone Tree/Zuni are triggered at roughly the 200th and 370th dwelling units.
Reclaimed Water and Golf Course Use
The Pine Canyon golf course expansion is private and uses reclaimed water under a city agreement. Commissioners flagged that the developer returned 30% of reclaimed water but may seek a new agreement for ponds and open space — and asked whether the course could open to the public at least one day a week.
