It was another unanimous vote by Yavapai County officials.
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve a zone map change for a proposed 154-room Hilton Garden Inn at the intersection of Jacks Canyon Road and State Route 179 in the Village of Oak Creek.
The decision comes on the heels of the Yavapai County Planning and Zoning Commission’s 10-0 vote on June 20 in favor of recommending a zone change approval to the supervisors.
Prior to the vote, District 2 Supervisor Tom Thurman said even if Chandrika and Jack Patel’s request for a zone change was granted, there are still several steps ahead of them, including the building permit process and Arizona Department of Transportation approval. This means there will be additional opportunities for public input before the hotel is approved.
