The west side of Roxborough’s red rock formations. A Canadian firm wants to put a spa on the other side of the rocks. The county commission is set to vote on whether to approve a metro district for a 35-acre site largely surrounded by Arrowhead Golf Course. The land, which features jagged red rock formations, is owned by Calgary-based Pomeroy Lodging.
“Tonight they only want to talk about the metro district. But it really opens the door to completely change our community,” resident Kenneth Fountain said at a public meeting last month. Pomeroy bought the land in February for $3.5 million. In documents submitted to the county, the company has said its proposed spa would likely consist “of a collection of pools, saunas, steam rooms and indoor and outdoor relaxation spaces, also offering massage treatments and ancillary food & beverage and retail offerings.” Unlike hot springs, it would not use naturally heated water.
If the spa isn’t possible, Pomeroy will instead build 31 homes on the red rocks, according to the company’s metro district application. Arrowhead and The Roxborough Park Foundation, which functions as the HOA for the surrounding residential community, are currently in a court battle with Pomeroy over access to the site. Neighbors see this metro district application as Pomeroy trying to find a workaround that would allow it access to the property.
