The Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission approved two separate conditional-use permits and a design review during its Dec. 3 meeting.
Vice Chair Wilson moved to approve CUP 25-055 (an RV as a permanent residence at 23 Fun Valley Road in Snowball Estates) and CUP 25-056 (an RV as a permanent residence at 3671 Carmen Road). Commissioner Walsh seconded; roll-call votes recorded ayes and the motions passed. Staff (Bob Short) told the commission both applications had limited neighborhood engagement (one supporting comment for the Carmen Road case and two neighborhood-meeting attendees for the Snowball Estates case) and that the RV at the Snowball Estates site was already present under the county’s temporary/120-day permitting.
On a separate item, the commission considered DRO25-005, a design-review application for a proposed 20,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse and an attached ~19,100-square-foot office at 7019 Loop Road in Donny Park. Bob Short described proposed building materials and colors (metal PBR walls in a light-gray “regal white,” galvalume roof, midnight-gray trim), a 10-foot landscape strip along the residential boundary, and amber fully shielded lighting. Applicant Garrett Reynoso said he agreed with staff recommendations. Commissioner Williams moved to approve the design review; Commissioner Best seconded. The commission approved the DRO by roll call ( unanimous ayes recorded).
Commission discussion on the CUPs included whether screening or renewal conditions should be added to prevent storage-yard or "toy hauler" impacts; staff confirmed conditions can be attached to a conditional-use permit and suggested that landscaping and screening may be appropriate where lots abut major roadways. For the warehouse DRO, commissioners asked staff to ensure irrigation for planted native species and confirmed the site has access to the Donny Park water system and that drip irrigation was included in the landscape notes.
Outcome: CUP25-055 and CUP25-056 approved as presented; DRO25-005 approved with staff-recommended conditions for landscaping, lighting and materials.
