Bringing more areas within County into detailed zoning would help address this issue.

This can make sense where intent is to establish or replace drought-tolerant materials, usually within three years.

Good point. All the more reason to utilize more durable native plant materials and limit disturbance/clearing to retain natural vegetation.

5 ft. setbacks are political non-starter for most scenarios.

Might be prudent to include limits on size as we currently have one property owner building an amusement park-size wave pool in RC-2 Zone next to other residences.

As stated earlier, "day care" may cover children, adults, special needs populations.

How is the parking requirement (space) tied to fossil fuel vs electric?

Has public engagement driven this suggestion?

"More" than what? Quantify or qualify?

5a Misnumbered or misplaced under Goal 4?

Comment
This is counterintuitive. Traffic is required to yield to school bus loading and unloading.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:24PM on page 84
Comment
While recognizing the safety, health, and recreational value of Policy 2e, it seems the likelihood of any impact on traffic congestion falls somewhere between negligible and indiscernible for the foreseeable future.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:09PM on page 83
Question
Policymakers instead of decision makers?
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:06PM on page 82
Comment
Not sure that ag/ranch operational practices should fall under any sort of County code.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:04PM on page 81
Question
Perhaps an example of a "necessary" land use?
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:03PM on page 81
Comment
"Noxious and nuisance" must be well-defined, measurable, and fairly applied.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 11:01PM on page 80
Question
Do we have a solid definition of "community core areas"? The term is prevalent in subsequent sections of this table.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 10:57PM on page 81
Comment
"compatible" needs to not mean "same as"
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 10:54PM on page 80
Comment
6d,e,f require a delicate balance, as community 'vision' statements from unincorporated areas may be weighted in deference to self-appointed (not elected) representatives or organizations that are not egalitarian or perceived to be fair and representative of the greater community.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 10:48PM on page 79
Technical Edit
strike "their"

Question
Why only seek input on potentially adverse impacts? Our vision should equally seek input on potentially positive impacts.
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 10:43PM on page 62
Question
Was input directly sought from sovereign nations, including Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe and Yavapai-Apache Nation, which also have significant interface with County governance?

Young families are equally or potentially at greater risk from housing affordability issues.

I don't understand the context of "curbing informal housing clusters."

Question
Does the County have any domain over water supply outside AMAs?
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 10:10PM on page 65

Strike "by the respondent"?

I strongly agree with this point.

Agreed. Yavapai County has a large amount of archeological sites as well as unique ecosystems and wildlife that should be adequately protected.

People in our county routinely seek to utilize things like conex boxes, manufactured homes, tiny homes etc because of cost limitations. There is a strong need for increased building affordability in our area.

Mashell Aug 22 2025 at 5:53PM on page 20
Would this offer a solution for the many non-conforming lots that were created over the years as the county rezoned certain areas? Presently our answer is that we cannot allow these vacant lots to be developed because they no longer meet the minimum size requirements, even though it is a roadblock that the county helped create.

Square footage refers to the area of the parcel. This figure is calculated by multiplying the number of acres by 43,560, which is the number of square feet contained in one acre.

Replace "a lot of" with "enough"
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 5:30PM on page 44
Technical Edit
Replace "a lot of" with "significant."
Linda Buchanan Aug 22 2025 at 5:30PM on page 43
