FLAGSTAFF, AZ (AP) -
A proposed 1,400-bed church camp just south of Flagstaff has been rejected by Coconino County planners.
The United Christian Youth Camp proposed the new facility as a way to expand from its Prescott location.
Executive director Greg Mengarelli tells the Arizona Daily Sun his organization is looking at what to do now that their plan has been rejected. That may include an appeal from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the full county Board of Supervisors.
The camp proposed in Munds Park would include a 100-bed lodge, two-acre lake and bring 10,000 campers a year.
Neighbors opposed it because it would bring a lot of traffic to their neighborhood near Interstate 17 and Woods Canyon.
The United Christian Youth Camp had proposed originally to spend $40 million on facilities.
