10-40.20.010 Establishment of Zones
The incorporated areas of the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, are divided into walkable urban transect zones and drivable suburban non-transect zones (Refer to Section 10-00.040, Classifications of Different Types of Places in Flagstaff). Overlay zones provide standards that apply both to transect zones and non-transect zones. The zones implement the General Plan by providing a mix of intensity of development and a mix of uses that are compatible with the character of the City’s many neighborhoods, districts and corridors.
10-40.20.020 Zones
The City of Flagstaff is divided into three categories of zones:
A. Non-Transect Zones. The non-transect zones are described in Division 10-40.30, Non-Transect Zones. The non-transect zones are primarily the zones that are more auto dependent, such as single-family subdivisions, other suburban residential areas, auto-dependent commercial and retail areas, and industrial areas.
B. Transect Zones. The transect zones are described in Division 10-40.40, Transect Zones. They range in function and density from the Coconino National Forest, the most natural area of the City, to downtown, the most urban part of the City. Transect zones are only applied through a form-based code (refer to Section 10-00.050, Form-Based Codes). Transect zones do not apply throughout the City in the non-transect zones (the driveable suburban zones), however the traditional neighborhood community plans division establishes the process by which transect zones can be applied to other parts of the City.
C. Overlay Zones. The overlay zones are described in Division 10-40.50, Overlay Zones. The overlay zones contain standards that apply in addition to the standards found in the underlying base zone.
