Historic Preservation Commission directs staff to forward Rigby House letter to Planning and City Council
Summary
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.
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.
