Several new business and lodging proposals are continuing to make their way through Sedona’s planning and zoning process, with some scheduled to go before the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Alkemista
During the commission’s most recent meeting on Tuesday, June 6, Sergio and Ofelia Goma of the Village of Oak Creek received approval for their proposed Alkemista Brew and Coffee on 0.87 acres at 2144 W. State Route 89A and 40 Goodrow Lane. The project has been in development for the last three years.
Alkemista will consist of a 5,000-square-foot mead brewery and coffee roasting facility with separate tasting rooms and a 1,300-square-foot warehouse. The proposal drew praise from the commission members for including 15 long-term apartments for employees, whose rent would be adjusted for affordability, the owners and others.
The brewery is designed with an upper level featuring three living units and the warehouse with two living units. Two additional buildings will house the remaining 10 apartments, which will consist of a two-bedroom unit for the owners, two studio units, and two one-bedroom units for employees with the remainder at market rate. The project’s four buildings are expected to be completed within 18 months.
The three existing buildings at the site are dilapidated and will be demolished, with Habitat for Humanity recycling any usable materials.
