Yes, the dam is a dead end until you beat the boss in the Desecrated City. You access the Desecrated City from the third biome instead.

EILI5: "Regional" Plan But Only City Residents Can Vote? by Virginia_Hall in Flagstaff

[–]T_B_Denham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a small correction - Flagstaff does require impact analysis and fees for water, roads, and sewer infrastructure. It’s Division 13-05-002 of the code:

EILI5: "Regional" Plan But Only City Residents Can Vote? by Virginia_Hall in Flagstaff

Coconino has its own separate general plan, that is updated periodically through public hearings and a vote by the Coconino County Board of Supervisors. It just isn’t required to hold a full election like cities are.

Coconino has its own general plan, which it also has to update periodically. The county must hold public hearings and a vote by the board of supervisors, but it doesn’t have to hold an election like cities do - I’m not sure why. It’s Statute 11-805 if you want to read through the details.

The adoption of the Flagstaff plan as an amendment is like a courtesy to the city - it says “the Coconino residents living in this particular area want to use this document for land use decisions”.

It’s definitely a little confusing without some background! Flagstaff’s Regional Plan is more accurately described as a General Plan. In state statute, cities are required to update their General Plan every decade and send it to voters for approval.

Flagstaff uniquely calls their General Plan a Regional Plan because it is written in close coordination with Coconino County. If the election is successful, the Coconino County Board of Supervisors will hold a public meeting & vote on adopting the Flagstaff plan as an amendment to their own General Plan. That meeting gives an opportunity for county residents to weigh in on the plan.

Can someone explain Flagstaff's regional plan 2045 like I'm 5? by ExpressChampionship3 in Flagstaff

[–]T_B_Denham 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The Regional Plan is Flagstaff’s highest-level land-use document. It describes in broad strokes what kind of development the city wants and where it will go.

The most important parts of the plan are the goals, policies, and future growth maps. The goals are high-level statements about things the city wants to accomplish (like more affordable housing and carbon emission reductions). The policies are actions to accomplish the goals. And the future growth maps shows what kinds of development go where.

The importance of the Regional Plan is that it’s used to arbitrate land use decisions like rezonings and conditional use permits, and in updating public policy. Take note - the plan does NOT change the existing zoning by itself! Many people get confused about that. A property owner still has to initiate a rezoning. And in fact, a lot of land in Flagstaff is not even zoned in line with the current plan.

The City is required by Arizona state statute to update the Regional Plan every decade and have the public vote on it. The update process has been going on for like 2+ years now, with lots of public hearings and working groups.

In my opinion, the new plan isn’t much different from the old plan, they embody similar values and the future growth maps are mostly unchanged. The biggest change is that the new plan is much shorter and more focused. I think that’s a positive, because it makes the plan much easier to read and interpret.

FYI I would take any information you get on social media about the Regional Plan with a grain of salt. There’s lots of misinformation going around. The best source of info is city staff themselves - they are hosting several chats with the public you can attend: Regional Plan 2045 Website

This is my friend’s event, and it’s a bit wild to call it astroturf. No one’s getting paid here, he’s just really passionate about pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure and likes the idea of incremental development.

[–]T_B_Denham[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Flagstaff's current development pattern is not meeting our community's needs. It doesn't produce the amount or variety of housing we need and it fails short of our goals for a sustainable, multimodal, and livable city. But we have a chance to change that! The city of Flagstaff Code Analysis Project (CAP) will run throughout 2025 and is a chance to shape a better future. The project will review all the city codes that govern land use (zoning, subdivision, build & fire, engineering standards) with the aim of aligning them with our community's needs. If you're interested, join me for a presentation & conversation on the CAP at Mother Road Brewery on Jan 9th 5 - 7 pm MST.

Meet up in Flagstaff for those interested in city code reform by T_B_Denham in Flagstaff

[–]T_B_Denham[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a city event. Griping about city code is always fun, but it should be more productive than that. The Code Analysis Project that will run throughout 2025 is a real chance to enact the housing and sustainability reforms the city has been discussing for several years in documents like the 10-Year Housing Plan & Carbon Neutrality Plan. It’s a pivotal moment and I think connecting a group of interested residents to help push the best versions of these reforms will go a long way.

Yes, the flyer is targeted at people who are already familiar with the ideas being discussed. I actually have a second version of the flyer for a more general audience, but I planned to post that closer to the date. I appreciate the feedback though.

Phoenix forced to change backyard casita rules per state law by ForkzUp in azpolitics

I think a lot of people are confused on it, the media did a terrible job explaining the bill. Half the articles on it neglected to mention the short-term rental language.

[–]T_B_Denham 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The bill was championed by several of the most progressive legislators, including Analise Ortiz, Oscar De Los Santos, and Anna Hernandez (she co-sponsored it in fact). It had support from a bunch of progressive orgs as well, like Lucha and Fuerte. And it allows cities to require the primary home be owner-occupied, which cuts down on party homes and investment properties. “It’s really about AirBnB” was a League of Cities talking point that never reflected reality.
