Commissioners asked staff to compile a route and obtain property-access permissions for stops that require owner approval.

City staff reported they had discussed logistics with the city’s new transit manager and the transit consultant, and that a small “connect” microtransit vehicle could be made available on a weekday in May. Staff recommended a 2 p.m. start to allow travel during midafternoon; the commission agreed on May 28 at 2:00 p.m. if no city council special meeting conflicts arise. Commissioners also agreed the Historic Preservation Commission budget can cover the driver’s pay for the tour.

Staff will provide a list of properties and routing details to transit so the department can run the route in advance and confirm turning/turnaround capabilities for the vehicle. Commissioners asked staff to contact private owners where driveway access is needed and to arrange on-site permission when possible. The commission said the regular May 12 meeting would be canceled because many members are attending a preservation conference; the next regular meeting remains scheduled for June 9, when the commission expects to review tour outcomes and the Rigby House resolution draft.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sedona - Historic Preservation - Apr 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission arranged a mid‑afternoon property tour for late May using city microtransit vehicles, and agreed to use commission funds to pay the driver; staff will prepare an itinerary and property access permissions.","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},6605023,"Sedona commission compiles list of candidate landmarks, plans outreach to property owners",969,1562000,2531000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2993113-78f8bf463ac7abeb3ee2d97b7736e6ef&start=1562&end=2531","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2993113-78f8bf463ac7abeb3ee2d97b7736e6ef/thumbnail_1562000.jpg","/articles/6605023/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Sedona-commission-compiles-list-of-candidate-landmarks-plans-outreach-to-property-owners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605023-4a07dcd8670a0618b9d2abec5ca77e06/orig.mp4?Expires=1776572618&Signature=APr8~coheoncgiQE-qMXMy9Yu1q6w245wFUQwQBuWUj~Z0IfWeK6D1MC3Er3VBacg~ugaArdTuhdR8q6Zh6cxfHLTNeqpkmlL43UbC5Q4~4D3s2fIx98G-ixddGuxVq9baHXIBHqO-SzMhz9AySdpqPGIg63IruT7on14n7OQF05ujG63QMZib5D1SJ5EbLnOze8MS3dSzi-twov4C7zuikuzLO~YS4E~5Ax0D~bYd6XHPGj4AzJj54m4JETbDePbrRy9JLIgzgiqDNa26WLwnoPC-mRMU7PRfmrA--iM2z22JnUeiNwqII-aMViT9fYVYhMGgQqe9jqt05E~rsjrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sedona Historic Preservation Commission reviewed a list of candidate properties for possible landmark designation and agreed to continue outreach and documentation work before taking formal action. Commissioners named several properties they will prioritize for owner contact and further research, and staff said many potential nominations will require owner buy-in.

Commissioners discussed specific buildings including Nick’s restaurant (owner Jonathan Bork), the Elks Lodge, the House of 7 Arches, Gasaway House, Woodcock House, Schnebly properties, and Sky Lodge. Several commissioners said owners of some candidate properties have expressed interest; others have been unresponsive or are constrained by organizational ownership. The Elks Lodge, for example, is owned by the national Elks organization and any decisions require approval from higher-level officers, commissioners said.

Commissioners noted the city’s 50-year threshold for demolition review and said properties that reach that age may become eligible for landmark consideration. Members agreed to divide outreach tasks: one commissioner will follow up with the owner of Nick’s, another will contact the House of 7 Arches owner, and staff will try to locate ownership records for a boarded property above Hillside Shops that commissioners said they have been unable to identify.

The commission did not vote on any landmark designations at the meeting. Instead it prioritized further surveys, owner contact, and preparation of documentation for future agenda items.","Commissioners identified multiple properties for potential landmark designation, discussed owner outreach and constraints, and agreed to continue work and agendize next steps for June.",{"_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},6605028,"Sedona preservation commission seeks way to save Rigby House as rezoning looms",1152,420000,1572000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2993113-78f8bf463ac7abeb3ee2d97b7736e6ef&start=420&end=1572","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2993113-78f8bf463ac7abeb3ee2d97b7736e6ef/thumbnail_420000.jpg","/articles/6605028/Sedona/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Sedona-preservation-commission-seeks-way-to-save-Rigby-House-as-rezoning-looms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605028-cc009fdb93cc7f6c7c342beec568c871/orig.mp4?Expires=1776572618&Signature=DkxUlcjsl9IUKrlm-TES2TmBMvOo~l~98sFV4Id7Wt~lZUm5g~xeLQqTUyIOHzntOnJBu5rHAQcn~FUmecj1gF-lvgm8u63joF3TUf~oq-TSJ3f4laGzHKZzOrjpcH-9GYt~GgGLhzEs5LmtXWFWmBDNOP~bfvKKCtOQRhQQNCy0zjDXuOe5ht8V5VE6a4UavRAnyqB9BNhxALnMwReLOIgp8gsxxmWi6WwDN64lMQUbpbUk93fe9S0NPDew9oLPGk7WYTe8h8l2auj247bL2wKMXMYzqcX9SlPNXBQttceRZC5SyNGY5SCIvmAYwz0roHKLOmUyv-l2aJhiK64ciQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sedona Historic Preservation Commission discussed possible preservation steps for the Rigby House and agreed to bring a recommendation back for formal consideration at a future meeting. Commissioners who visited the property described recent restoration work and said the current owner does not want to landmark the site while a rezoning and sale are pending.

Commission Chair Meyer opened the agenda item by turning the discussion over to Commissioners Stupak and Woods, who conducted the site survey and provided photographs and a written assessment. Commissioner Stupak told the panel that “the current owner does not want to landmark it,” and said potential buyers are pursuing rezoning that could enable substantial multiunit development on the parcel. Stupak said the property is recorded on commission paperwork as nine acres but may exceed 10 acres when outbuildings and adjacent parcels are counted.

The commission’s architect/assessor reported that despite some alterations — enclosed patios, stuccoed fireplaces and replacement windows — much of the building’s defining fabric remains intact, including eave and beam details and exterior sills. Commissioners and the assessor described stuccoing of adobe fireplaces as a common preservation measure that can be acceptable if done appropriately.

Staff told the commission that the commission may make suggestions to Planning & Zoning but is not itself part of the rezoning process. Staff also confirmed that the city’s demolition review asks whether a building is more than 50 years old and that surveys and photo documentation are required during that review. Kathy Levin, a Planning & Zoning commissioner, has requested a copy of the recent Rigby House survey and photographs for her review.

After discussion, commissioners agreed to prepare a nonbinding resolution urging that future owners and the Planning & Zoning review consider options that would allow redevelopment while preserving the Rigby House when feasible. Commissioner Sam volunteered to draft the resolution and deliver it to staff for placement on the next meeting agenda. Staff indicated that if the commission finalizes a resolution in June, the timing should allow Planning & Zoning and staff review before formal land-use hearings.

The commission recorded no formal vote on landmark designation at this meeting and instead directed staff and commissioners to continue outreach to the owner and potential buyers and to bring a draft resolution for action at a future meeting.","Sedona Historic Preservation Commission members reviewed a recent survey of the Rigby House and agreed to draft a nonbinding resolution urging future owners and planners to consider preserving the property while allowing redevelopment to proceed.","actionData","errors"]
