Board of Adjustment - June 18th 2026

The City of Prescott Board of Adjustment held a public hearing on June 18, 2026, addressing two main procurement-related matters. First, the board reviewed and approved a variance request (V26-007) for Trinity Christian School to allow a 7-foot wrought iron fence around the property, exceeding the typical 6-foot fence height within required setbacks. The variance was approved unanimously to enhance student safety and provide consistent fencing around the school. Second, the board considered a conditional use permit (CUP 26-002) for Exceptional Healthcare to operate an ambulance service with a helicopter landing pad adjacent to State Route 69. The permit had previously been revoked due to non-compliance with conditions including installation of a 6-foot masonry screening wall and additional landscaping. The board received updates that construction and landscaping had commenced and approved the permit with added conditions clarifying the helistop's use restrictions to prevent it from becoming a heliport. The board emphasized strict compliance deadlines with potential fines and permit revocation for continued violations. Public comments highlighted concerns about helicopter noise and safety, while healthcare representatives stressed the necessity of the helistop for emergency medical transport. The meeting concluded with no further updates and adjournment.
