Karen and Bobby (commission members who led fieldwork) reported surveys and photographs for the Church of the Red Rocks United Church of Christ, the Star Motel, the Sedona Community Cemetery and Nick’s Cafe. Karen said the church is owned locally by the County Church Council in Sedona, which she said makes it a stronger candidate. She described the Star Motel’s original sign as an intact historic element and said the motel owners may be receptive to landmarking. “Bobby and I noticed that there’s not what they can do too much to change the footprint of that,” a commissioner said about Nick’s Cafe’s corner lot.

Commissioners said the Sedona Community Cemetery will not pursue landmarking; surveyors found the site largely at capacity and noted owners have discussed adding a mausoleum. The commission discussed outreach to property owners: one owner of the Star Motel has been contacted and staff plans to provide survey copies to owners before formal nomination.

Commissioners discussed the process for advancing surveys: the commission performs preliminary field surveys and owner outreach, and the city may hire a professional surveyor for deeper documentation when pursuing an official landmark nomination. Staff reminded the commission that commissioners who vote on landmark status must complete required training; the commission also identified SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) as a technical resource for guidance on additions and treatment.

Commissioners agreed to refine the draft surveys, incorporate architectural language where needed, and have staff or volunteers prepare final versions for potential nomination. They also discussed recruiting volunteers to research historical context and records to support nominations at later stages.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sedona - Historic Preservation - Jul 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commission members reported completion of four field surveys and identified three properties that may qualify for local landmark nomination.","taxTitle","Sedona, Yavapai County, Arizona","taxId",54295,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709501,"Historic Preservation Commission directs staff to forward Rigby House letter to Planning and City Council",165,674000,839000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49&start=674&end=839","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49/thumbnail_674000.jpg","/articles/6709501/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Historic-Preservation-Commission-directs-staff-to-forward-Rigby-House-letter-to-Planning-and-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709501-35e0c4ff87fd67af83d2dc5b95e1b38d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048421&Signature=Z5b1umOdfYllTpxbF~OxL56CF2NHhUn0KRIHKxXG8-pLnoZeslz3QpNmkOMJmjllU~EZRbG7Cj2CZT6EXqYVvQfS7N833C3mAEgrCuefZj1Fv2L0bW9TW2adwWOxVJ8xRtoxgHELt8YupG7NxFxVhZMJSOYqGGj5Fcw4kJx1tPAtsQfn6iW3vYaUzOxAaokRGqR6kePWe777oh~LeaniEYMqNXOgIp93UvTM4Uf7UZF0f61gIus-JvAlydey2oAgbnJ9v9hzlCb2Hm7ZMslW4m00XuehLrU~-F0VNZ4KauO0k~OxowsUSbNBwKZI83rYOsaG3lTWuSt96qcl9~YmUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sedona Historic Preservation Commission on July 14 authorized the chair to forward a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council urging that redevelopment retain the Rigby House building at 50 Tranquil Drive.

Commissioners had previously discussed language drafted by Commissioner Segnor; staff placed the revised letter on commission letterhead and included it in the meeting packet. Commissioners said the letter asks that any redevelopment make an effort to preserve the Rigby House structure during future development.

Commissioners noted the property’s owner recently resubmitted materials to the city. “We do have a resubmittal. It’s on my desk. I haven’t looked through it,” a Planning Department staff member said. Commissioners discussed that the current application seeks rezoning, which would allow sale under the new zoning.

Chair Myers said the commission’s direction would speak for the body once she signed the letter. “Then I will sign it for you, and off we’ll go,” Chair Myers said. Staff said the letter will be included in the Planning and Zoning packet when the rezoning application is scheduled.

Commissioners also discussed appearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission to present the commission’s position if the rezoning goes to that body. No formal vote was recorded; the action recorded in minutes was a direction for staff to transmit the signed letter to Planning and Zoning and to copy City Council.","The commission agreed to send a letter urging that redevelopment plans for 50 Tranquil Drive preserve the Rigby House building; the chair said the signed letter will be transmitted to Planning and Zoning and the City Council, and commissioners may testify if the rezoning returns to Planning and Zoning.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709503,"Sedona planning manager to provide commission packets a week before meetings",204,252000,456000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49&start=252&end=456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49/thumbnail_252000.jpg","/articles/6709503/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Sedona-planning-manager-to-provide-commission-packets-a-week-before-meetings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709503-ea1a40b7fc99d9f63221f6c7f6d77956/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048421&Signature=NLNvMB0ruxMunNyKacHGnu4ZcNkxu4KDFTG94sYwclinMkCkj0Mr-7pka6utwgX8QycrM5OZskrfoT2tkBCbXPqjuzu~VReJD5sJY2iJWoH9Jlf4NVgf2nuOP11RL1988CrbXXVu0P3iOnSS43rFldfP0bKhJzC5VqknHrETM4COtdSC~GVW2YhkfD8QeJVE-WfMFzuGGE1WKUUA2hJlNP8yNS2qfMwILuDrpe2KXSzmOfvFehxqvsRYLWz5rjXrSfGHC~TJVsYVfdOARWGfU7RyBYwDglhLRTfb3dtpSxNc8IN5RH6ODKwDjoBqaydbC3FWcuIhyc10KW0Fa-UzYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carrie Meyer, the city’s planning manager, told the Sedona Historic Preservation Commission on July 14 that staff will begin providing agenda packets about one week before meetings and will post materials to the city website.

Meyer said the commission typically received only an agenda and that the change is intended to give commissioners materials to review in advance. “We’ll be aiming to get those out a week in advance of the meeting,” Meyer said.

The move follows recent misdelivery of packets. Meyer said she discovered she lacked IT permission to send emails and that one packet went to the wrong inbox. As an interim measure, staff will send materials to both the commission members’ city email and an alternate address for a few months while IT confirms reliable delivery.

Meyer asked commissioners who submit documents for packets to deliver them earlier in the week—ideally by the Thursday before the meeting—and said staff can accept hard-copy documents at city hall for scanning and inclusion. She noted that some agenda items requiring a public hearing must be posted at least seven days before the meeting, while other discussion-only items can be shared later.

Commission members agreed to the timeline and to working with staff on submissions. The commission also noted an administrative hire was accepted the same day and staff expected the new administrative position to help prepare packets.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the packet schedule; Meyer said staff will implement the changes and follow up with commissioners about any remaining email problems.","City planning manager Carrie Meyer told the Historic Preservation Commission she will begin distributing agenda packets about a week before meetings and will upload materials to the city website; staff will initially send packets to members' alternate email addresses while resolving city email delivery issues.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709492,"Sedona to present exterior changes for Ranger Station Park barn, public hearing set for Aug. 11",193,2526000,2719000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49&start=2526&end=2719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49/thumbnail_2526000.jpg","/articles/6709492/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Sedona-to-present-exterior-changes-for-Ranger-Station-Park-barn-public-hearing-set-for-Aug-11","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709492-aa6ab5a2b3dd069f6cfd73a863cb3c58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048421&Signature=fS-xCMUi-1GqXtQ-E37oIwGqlXIv7~6AxOPbRyKPgIxg7MTIXHV7FiVABx3QBU55tFgZArfyJP93cpxckZJhimPdZZaHDHcDRzhup7KXu-T26vcpky3cmenzIesv4D15EQhthHf8NN8Yrty39UKHPRgUFXwIfHmauzyQ6T4~7lhyhquWCJ2~fAu-8ov70lz67ZeZ~HWEJFqtHS23p028rtIMvLcsbdex1qPbU7u~PuM6OFFkpZfraZqyEo6zmGgf2JMJyL4jNWspKd8iMVCG4P7NBPkCd7o1cP~B9xuj1zf-n7j9CTSC0TSzBSpW1f2vni0gV298ev-cgQ4YZH4q8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sedona’s Public Works Department will bring proposed exterior changes to the Ranger Station Park barn and house before the Historic Preservation Commission as part of a public hearing scheduled for Aug. 11, staff said at the July 14 meeting.

Most proposed work is interior, staff said, but several exterior modifications require Historic Preservation Commission review and a Certificate of Appropriateness before permits can be issued. Staff has started the public-noticing process and will provide a staff report and summary to the commission ahead of the hearing.

Commissioners asked about a separate shade shelter planned near the playground and requested that designs be made “in character” with the historic buildings where possible, even if the shelter is sited away from the historic structures. Staff said the proposed playground shade shelter would be sufficiently distant from the historic buildings that it likely would not require HPC action; the exterior barn/house changes will be the items for the Aug. 11 public hearing.

Staff directed commissioners to the city projects webpage (sedonaaz.gov/projects) for the Public Works submittal details. The commission added the Ranger Station exterior Certificate of Appropriateness review to its August agenda and will receive the staff report in advance.","Public Works will present proposed exterior changes to the Ranger Station Park barn and house that require a Certificate of Appropriateness; staff has begun noticing and will provide a report to the Historic Preservation Commission ahead of the Aug. 11 public hearing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709487,"Commission reviews non‑government funding options after federal uncertainty; state funding reported restored",184,2181000,2365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49&start=2181&end=2365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442651-cdea40f002fd0d2217cb468c058c0f49/thumbnail_2181000.jpg","/articles/6709487/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Commission-reviews-nongovernment-funding-options-after-federal-uncertainty-state-funding-reported-restored","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709487-43c49aa3cd1b382436f241bb39a35411/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048421&Signature=jRCz0WhVh6RsWQQ-asYsrrvSl9ygyTgkM2fmqEEnKQo2F7gDJgLs8LiQcGCNzJJzzZCIDWOcgxXDxXV5qcndNgByfOv04pzN0krl4rjWw~lHpS6mNJA1R~n6p27vPsNRso3tzR6AH4IjbaJodIFCw8rWHRz75qvH0XKqp0DpiimBJddua7Swpk29QpCVsd1bNgsSiYPqdk062xkXLHk12WS92TCKWSZ1o1pL2u~A8sg714w4DUEgSbJwUAwoJ9oVMeJNA0Id5snZFceICN2SIt2gUteKmfbkZhTCcmLEHzvUhodzv6gA5A6y1zv2Yc6EmJJ6tFeDsQofEG8g9moA0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sedona Historic Preservation Commission reviewed a list of potential non‑government funding sources for historic preservation at its July 14 meeting and discussed state and private options to support future projects.

Commissioners circulated a Preserve AZ “funding opportunities” worksheet obtained at last year’s preservation conference, which lists private and nonprofit grant sources suitable for small towns and local projects. One commissioner said the sheet could help the commission seek money if the city needs to augment preservation budgets.

Commissioners also reported receiving confirmation that state preservation funding to SHPO had been restored for the year; one commissioner said the funding was authorized for two years. The group stressed that SHPO remains a technical resource for nominations and guidance on treatments and additions.

Commission members discussed that the commission’s certified local government status and volunteer research can help match projects with grant programs. They agreed to keep the funding worksheet available and to consider non‑government sources for professional survey costs and small project needs such as plaques or survey documentation.

No formal motions or grant applications were approved at the meeting; commissioners said they would pursue opportunities as projects and budgets require.","Commissioners reviewed a Preserve AZ funding worksheet of private funding opportunities and noted recent state-level preservation funding was restored for two years; they discussed grant options and the role of the certified local government program and SHPO.","actionData","errors"]
