Question
Would this be "Yavapai County Development Services (YCDS)" or "Development Services (YCDS)?"
Question
Replace with ordinance?
Comment
Storage containers are not designed for habitable space, converting/modifying can be costly and requires an engineer's seal.
Question
I've heard of HOA requirements for specific landscaping, is this something we have included in the past? How and who will regulate these requirements? Would this be a recommendation to the public?
Comment
Clarify with Building Safety - Covered Patios/Covered Decks, previously BS would stay away from "porch."
Comment
Temp dwellings are allowed after SFR is issued, they have two years with one renewal up to twelve months. There are temps that expire after year two or three without any signs of construction. Temp dwellings are movable, secondary dwelling or ADU would be secured to a foundation (not temporary). I think some type of timeframe would be advisable as Mr. Bourdon stated, or there may be many properties with an ADU and no SFR.
Question
Will this be in a specific zone? What would minimum parcel size be? Will lot coverage be the only limiting factor? Multiple addresses, septic systems, etc.?
Question
Will measurement standards take Building Safety dimensions into consideration? Calculating square footages to exterior wall, height of structure, etc.?
Comment
Consolidation and consolidated both used in one sentence, feels redundant, possible change?
Technical Edit
Remove "that"
Technical Edit
"when" instead of "are"
Suggested Revision
The last sentence could be reworded to make more sense. If using "other public input" would that be clarified?
Technical Edit
Add comma.
Comment
See my other comments.
Comment
This should be left up to the fire districts , individual home owners or HOA.
Comment
What is considered affordable housing? This has been discussed my entire career and have never seen it play out.
Comment
Should also discuss if Fire districts should play a larger role.
Comment
This discussion should also include any fire district.
Comment
needs to be compatible with building codes
Comment
Needs to take into consideration any fire/emergency vehicle required access
Comment
Connex boxes used as structures needs to make sure that the language is compatible with building dept. requirements.
Comment
Any reference to tiny home needs to be compatible with Building Codes or reference must comply to building codes.
Technical Edit
Avoid use of parentheses within parentheses. Consider a well-placed comma.
Technical Edit
eliminate last comma
Comment
So true!
Technical Edit
*one closing parenthesis
Technical Edit
Don't use preposition "for" twice in succession. Replace one or the other with "on."
Suggested Revision
Replace "should be grouped together based on" with "organized by" categories...
Technical Edit
Chapters and Sections do not need to be capitalized in this sentence.
Question
I don't understand "in values of 10 or 2"... What am i missing?
Suggested Revision
Replace new with "logical" or "improved"
in reply to Susan H.'s comment
Technical Edit
or instead of adding to, change to assist a reader "in finding"...
Suggested Revision
Move "sustainable" in front of manner, and drop "that is sustainable and comprehensive" (redundant) from end of sentence.

Reads: ...sustainable manner consistent with the vision.
Suggested Revision
Replace "that will" with "to." I would prefer to see the entire document written in present rather than passive tense.
Suggested Revision
Add possessive apostrophe after respondents'

Would "expectations" be a better term than "desires"?
Suggested Revision
Replace "different" with "diverse"
Technical Edit
Replace 'difficulty' with 'challenges"
Technical Edit
Strike "without the need for" and replace with "avoiding." This section would truly be more understandable if written as two sentences.
Technical Edit
Insert comma
Technical Edit
Consistency in capitalizing (or not) "County"
Technical Edit
Correct spelling: Integration
Technical Edit
Add comma
Comment
Does this Elliott Pollack Housing Assessment and Market Analysis need a contextual reference (Date? Commissioned by?). I'm not sure it's intuitive to most readers.
Comment
Agreed
in reply to Joe Huot's comment
Comment
If further clarification is needed Public Works will happily go over existing standards, including the figures related to roadway design and construction.
Comment
This is not appropriate to be under Public Works and should be under Flood Control.
Comment
The County Engineer has historically not supported sidewalks within publicly maintained rights of way.
Comment
These standards have already been established in the County's Road Design Standards.
Comment
Within the last 5 years, Public Works has already established road design standards.
Question
The local road width standard was recently increased in the County Road Design Standards. Going back to a reduced section would benefit who?
