Coconino County Planning and Zoning Committee Meeting Summary
On August 27, 2025, the Coconino County Planning and Zoning Committee met to cover various agenda items, including hearings and procedural matters. Chair Burton led the meeting, starting with a roll call that indicated Commissioner Leslie had not informed the committee of his unavailability.
Chair Burton reiterated the meeting’s rules, emphasizing the need for respectful dialogue during public comments. Each speaker was allotted three minutes to address the committee, directing their remarks courteously towards committee members. The committee’s recommendations concerning zone changes and reserved parcel plat approvals are advisory to the Board of Supervisors, while other decisions are binding unless appealed within a 15-day timeframe.
The minutes from the previous meeting on July 30, 2025, were approved, thanks to a motion from Vice-Chairman Wilson and a second from Commissioner Berger. Commissioners Welsh and Williams chose to abstain, but the motion passed with a majority.
After approving the minutes, the committee opened the floor for public comments on non-agenda items. However, since no national members signaled their intent to speak, the committee moved forward with case number 25-30 to proceed to the scheduled hearing.
This meeting reflects Coconino County’s ongoing commitment to involve the community in planning and zoning discussions, ensuring that local voices contribute to governance. The committee’s next steps will focus on deliberating the presented public hearing case.
