    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (February 23, 2016) – In 2010, the city of Sedona adopted regulations to permit secondary dwelling units on residentially zoned properties within the Sedona city limits. These secondary dwelling units, known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), are intended to offer additional living opportunities for those choosing to live, work, and play in Sedona. ADUs can offer more affordable rental options and revenue generation sources for homeowners.

    On Feb. 9, 2016, the City Council took action to reaffirm the policies and regulations surrounding the creation of ADUs in the community. The updates sought to address several regulations which caused confusion and possibly created disincentives to the implementation and construction of new ADUs. A noteworthy change is the elimination of the regulations mandating a minimum size for ADUs.

    The Community Development Department looks forward to speaking with any property owner interested in the possibility of implementing an ADU on their property. Inquiries can be made by calling the department at 282-1154 or stopping by the office at 102 Roadrunner Drive, building 104.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
