Planning staff said the site was originally dedicated to Humboldt Unified School District as a school site but remained unused for two decades; the applicant swapped the land with the district and requested a change from a public/quasi designation to low-density residential (1.1–4 dwelling units per acre). The rezoning request would change the zoning from public land planned area development (PLPD) to residential single-family limited planned area development (RL-10 PD). The proposed layout shows 48 homes at slightly over two dwelling units per acre with typical setbacks of 20 feet front/rear and 5 feet on the sides.

At the public hearing residents and a homeowner association representative spoke in support, describing expectations that the development would bring larger homes and additional neighborhood investment. One resident raised concerns about evacuation and egress in the event of wildfire; staff and the town manager described recent roadway connections that increase ingress/egress options, and the town manager said two lots were being considered for a Salt River Project stormwater recharge pilot that would affect final lot layout.

Engineering and the developer discussed a staff condition requiring a minimum 25-foot all-weather access along existing sewer easements; the developer said portions along a retention basin might not physically allow the full 25 feet and asked for town-engineer discretion. The council directed staff to modify the condition to allow the town engineer to approve a narrower access where site constraints exist. The council also required the project to conform to the approved exhibit map (Exhibit A) and added a condition that work must start within five years or the approvals could revert.

Council action: The council approved the general-plan amendment and rezoning with the conditions described; the rezoning ordinance was read and placed on final passage and the council recorded a favorable vote (rezoning passed 6–1 as recorded).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Town Council Meeting Thursday, June 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Prescott Valley approved a general-plan amendment and rezoning request for Pronghorn Ranch Unit 21 to allow 48 single-family homes on about 24 acres; approval included conditions on emergency access, exhibit conformity and a five-year start requirement.","taxTitle","Prescott Valley, Yavapai County, Arizona","taxId",3936,"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},6183663,"Prescott Valley adopts final FY26 budget at $221.5 million",156,2477000,2633000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094699-3c4db76f6a808dcdd408d76148bf541c&start=2477&end=2633","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094699-3c4db76f6a808dcdd408d76148bf541c/thumbnail_2477000.jpg","/articles/6183663/Prescott-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Prescott-Valley-adopts-final-FY26-budget-at-2215-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183663-a107cbbf052e699fb7c8cae3d6a2c2e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1776044203&Signature=bm9iOMu53tfFS7w7CPamM4OUuT0bjEzb5HokvGn3uxKmeY-1VC1uefZpbuh4qI5UV6k9zlJALepuhPQT2pqFMORnr19OdZ1sAJVtR6G32W9RConPhLiTCOYOIU-tJhyUX0qyQYT7GDCOLcP6IAVEOmPcg6Sy6Qjr31aVXW4YuszE3MfZHLFSGofikQqXVL0-CiAm4F3jKU7v~bUHEoduk8Ti9dsjlSWeojOVfLp2RXVyUH-b2JgBS3cXhYCwpSiMJVEOUr0PEB4l9hTFuefe1lVYmGKZ2tq49cJXZkvdZd0-cA7ARDg0gYx~RnxnDsL-Sg6XFGuswaF6zjQMNAHLGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prescott Valley Town Council on June 26 adopted the town's final fiscal year 2026 budget at $221,501,855 after a public hearing and staff presentations that summarized the budget process and outreach.

Budget staff told the council the process began in December and included surveys, workshops, study sessions and a tentative budget vote on May 22 that set the town's upper limit at approximately $221 million. Staff said there were no substantive changes to the tentative budget; a technical reclassification of some revenues and expenses was made to better reflect potential future bond, grant and debt funding.

During the public hearing no members of the public spoke on the budget. In council discussion a member asked about ongoing funding to the Chamber of Commerce (about $12,000 per month), observing that the council may want to review that contract value and performance in future budget cycles. Council members otherwise thanked staff for outreach and the open-door process.

Council action: a motion to adopt resolution number 2025-2425 (as listed in the agenda) adopting a final fiscal year 2026 budget in the amount of $221,501,855 was made and seconded; the motion passed unanimously.","The Town Council adopted the final fiscal year 2026 budget at $221,501,855 following the tentative budget approval in May and public outreach earlier in the budget process.",{"_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},6183667,"Council grants license to WECOM Fiber for $35 million Prescott Valley build; company says phase 1 will reach 25,000 homes",1068,3216000,4284000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094699-3c4db76f6a808dcdd408d76148bf541c&start=3216&end=4284","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094699-3c4db76f6a808dcdd408d76148bf541c/thumbnail_3216000.jpg","/articles/6183667/Prescott-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Council-grants-license-to-WECOM-Fiber-for-35-million-Prescott-Valley-build-company-says-phase-1-will-reach-25000-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183667-72079da1161cdffe0da65e9f466b2155/orig.mp4?Expires=1776044203&Signature=hOhOzr8cJtej7V0vB9-0xvy0S6gWBH9YwzfS924wgiinYTwvGYnSnsY4OM1J5iuo3V0YxOM-21DugMQd2xGGeRBNG1osAdDuJxEKcJRMDAtxyf9eQBQRPZFBSGPXLXCquU5pg5kPzMD2lnPHq0w~zmF--7jWjZ0EjzFRX56PZvL8HQUO~NjOvGWVzv53-xgslbHDJulrsGA57MVeFymzLODS7LJMbWDKOsQjAYyxhu~6FOexlAVzhgxO-oFcXgvOg7YdDPAWbdCTTDyeH6~TACKeC-Cg3xZs9HP4kuxcSb-EoUn0pvvV8T92d-UxMK5H6Ico-hmLR75lPmryLZnpCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prescott Valley Town Council on June 26 approved a five-year license allowing WECOM Fiber (doing business as WECOM) to use the town's public roadways to construct, operate and maintain a fiber-optic network; WECOM told the council Phase 1 is a $35 million, privately funded build intended to reach about 25,000 households and businesses.

During a presentation WECOM representatives described the company as Arizona-based, said the Phase 1 funds are already allocated for Prescott Valley, and outlined an 18-month construction timeline (with a stated target to begin as early as July or in September). The company told the council it plans to hire locally, open a local office and provide symmetrical service plans up to 5 gigabits per second for residents and up to 25 Gbps for public-sector or enterprise connections.

WECOM said it will run preconstruction outreach (mailers, door knockers, local websites and QR codes), provide Arizona-based customer support and offer low-cost options tied to federal programs such as ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) and Lifeline. The company also described cybersecurity measures including DDoS mitigation and third-party audits.

Staff said the license is governed by Arizona Revised Statutes sections cited in the agenda and that WECOM must obtain right-of-way permits, submit construction plans for review and undergo inspections before work proceeds. Councilwoman Reuter confirmed the licensing agreement uses the same framework the council approved recently for another broadband provider.

Council members approved the extension after a staff presentation describing the contract's structure and planned projects. Town staff said the contract includes a 3% increase to base fees, raised the reimbursable repair cap for water and wastewater from $500,000 to $600,000, and lists additional services projects that together total approximately $3.7 million in near-term water and wastewater work.

Town staff told the council Jacobs has provided operations services in Prescott Valley since 1993 under earlier company names and that the proposed three-year term was selected to allow more frequent review and flexibility. Staff summarized major planned projects: a $1.2 million water program of work and $2.5 million in wastewater projects (including replacement of aging aeration equipment and rehabilitation of a clarifier). Staff also highlighted a recent system-wide flushing effort that removed settled sediment from roughly 400 miles of distribution pipe using a no-discharge technology that conserved about 8.7 million gallons of water.

During discussion council members thanked operations staff and asked about contract length; staff said the three-year term reflects current procurement strategy and allows opportunities to reassess as conditions change. No members opposed proceeding.

Council action: a motion to approve the three-year contract extension for utilities operations, maintenance and management with Jacobs in the amount of $11,296,376 was made and seconded; the motion passed unanimously.

Background: Jacobs began under prior corporate names in the town in 1993. The contract is structured in three sections: base fees (labor, chemicals, fuel), reimbursable pass-through items, and additional-services projects that the town and contractor scope annually. The contract presentation noted that pass-throughs cover items Jacobs pays and invoices the town without markup, and that the town increased the repair allowance to better cover aging infrastructure.","Prescott Valley approved a three-year contract extension with Jacobs (CH2M/OMI) for water and wastewater operations, maintenance and projects totaling roughly $11.3 million, including $3.7 million in planned capital work and an increased reimbursable repair cap.","actionData","errors"]
