Location: 250 Brewer Rd Parcel Number: 401-38-013D Owner/Applicant: City of Sedona Project Summary: To help alleviate traffic congestion in the general area, a driveway is proposed from Los Abrigados Resort to Brewer Rd. across the southwest corner of the park property. Parcel Size: 3.4 acres Sedona Community Plan Planned Area (PA) Designation: Zoning: Community Facilities (CF) Current Land Use: Vacant Proposed Land Use: City Park Surrounding Properties/ South: Los Abrigados Resort (L); East: (C) El Portal Inn, Tlaquepaque employee Zoning: parking lot, commercial lots; North: vacant (CF); West: school district offices (CF) Report Prepared by: Cynthia Lovely, Principal Planner Attachments: Exhibit A. Ranger Station Park Master Plan Narrative and Site Plan Exhibit B. Overlay of proposed driveway Exhibit C. Construction plans for the proposed driveway PROJECT SUMMARY The City’s 2018 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) proposes several measures to help alleviate traffic congestion on SR 179. One of those measures is to construct a new driveway from the Los Abrigados Resort to Brewer Rd. through the southwest corner of the park property at 250 Brewer Rd. The park property is 3.4 acres and the site of two designated national/city historic landmarks, the Ranger Station house (1917) and the barn (1934). The Forest Service relocated and sold the property in 2005. In 2014 the city purchased the property with the primary intent of preserving the two buildings. In 2016 the city completed a Park Master Plan for the property (see Exhibit A). The park construction will be completed incrementally in phases and expected to be complete in 2024. Currently exterior restoration of the house is underway. https://sedonaaz.sharepoint.com/sites/CD/Documents/P&Z/2021/Meeting Materials/2021-06-01/06-01-21 Rgr St Staff Report.docx Proposed Amendment to the Ranger Station Park Master Plan PROJECT PURPOSE One of the most congested areas in the city is on SR 179 between the 89A/179 roundabout and the Schnebly Hill/179 roundabout. Improving traffic is among the City Council’s highest priority, and this project is one of many incremental improvements recommended in the TMP. Currently, all traffic from commercial businesses such as Los Abrigados, Tlaquepaque must enter and exit at SR 179. When exiting, there is no left turn for those going north, thus vehicles must use the Schnebly Hill roundabout as a U-turn, adding to the already congested roundabout. The park plan amendment is to allow for a one-way exit driveway connection from the Los Abrigados property, through the Ranger Station Park, to Brewer Road. The gate at the property line between Los Abrigados and the park would be an actuated gate that would only open for vehicles exiting. This will allow a significant number of vehicles whose destination is Uptown or West Sedona to avoid SR 179 congestion.
