The Sedona Planning and Zoning meeting held on August 5, 2025, focused on a significant development proposal for a new lodging resort. The proposal includes the construction of a 36-unit lodging resort, which will feature amenities such as a restaurant and spa. The property, currently zoned for commercial use, has a history of zoning regulations that allow for up to six lodging units per property, which aligns with the proposed development.

The site plan indicates that the majority of the resort will be situated on the west side of a creek that runs through the property. Access to the resort is planned primarily from the O and B Roundabout, with the lodging units positioned along the creek bank. Additional facilities proposed include staff housing, a maintenance building, and a health spa, all designed to enhance the guest experience.

Parking arrangements for the resort will utilize valet services, leading to the design of double-stacked parking lots. The meeting included discussions on the architectural elevations of the buildings, including the arrival building and restaurant, which are strategically placed near the creek banks.

Representatives from the project team, including architects, were present to address any questions regarding the design and layout of the proposed resort. The meeting provided a platform for community input and discussion on the implications of this development for the area.

Overall, the proposal marks a significant step in Sedona's commercial development, with potential impacts on local tourism and the economy. Further discussions and evaluations will follow as the planning process continues.
