    By Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB)
    (November 28, 2019)

    logo_ksbWhen Keep Sedona Beautiful was recently notified by Yavapai County Development Services that an LLC had submitted a request for rezoning to allow them to build an enormous development off of State Route 89A north of Cornville, we began evaluating their Letter of Intent <https://keepsedonabeautiful.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Spring-Creek-Ranch-Letter-of-Intent.pdf>.

    We quickly saw that the developer (SCR Manager, LLC) intends to build a ‘282 acre master-planned community which will include approximately 1900 Manufactured Home (“MH”) lots, 600 Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) pads, 400 Rental Units, and a 200 Unit Assisted Living facility. MH lots and RV pads will be similar in size and will be utilized interchangeably.’ This community would be built on either side of Spring Creek, a key riparian habitat that’s home to a number of endangered and threatened species.

    KSB submitted a comment letter to Yavapai County Development Services that expresses our concerns about the proposal, concluding with the following statement: ‘After considering the information that the applicant has provided about their Spring Creek Ranch proposal and after considering the likely impact of the development on the land and the communities, Keep Sedona Beautiful opposes this rezoning request.’

      As long as I have been in Sedona (nearly all my life) I have never seen KSB be in favor of any kind of development. They would like Sedona and the entire Verde valley to be a National Monument and to restrict access to the forest even for our locals. Take with grain of salt. #Bullies

      I agree with the well-stated concerns of KSB. I always thought this area was forest service land, so I was shocked to hear about the proposed rezoning. And let’s be clear: the object of our disapproval is a request for rezoning. Not ‘any kind of development’. The land in question is currently zoned for one home on each two acres. That translates to Low Density. It seems appropriate; no one has objected to it in decades.
      For a large property that’s always been designated thus, it’s a HUGE request this LLC is making. Fully built, this place would accommodate 1,200 to possibly over 2,400 new residents. Almost the present population of Cornville. Towns generally develop slowly, over time, around a common industry or direction. Not to line a few guys’ pockets. Open space destruction in the name of greed, that’s what I oppose.
      And the traffic impact…! Ugh! Maybe I’ll have to find a nice development ruining some other part of the country to move to.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
