The redevelopment of a motel and the addition of a 50-unit RV Park near the intersection of Arizona State Route 64 and U.S. Route 180 in Valle is moving forward following the unanimous approval by the Coconino County Board of Supervisors on last Tuesday night.
Following a monthlong continuance of the public hearing, the board agreed with the Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission, voting 4-0 to support a zone change from general to commercial general, as well as a conditional use permit (CUP), for Grand Canyon Hospitality LLC’s 5.76-acre parcel of land located just southwest of its Grand Canyon Inn, Restaurant and Lounge.
