    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (October 6, 2018) – The public is invited to attend a Sedona City Council work session Oct. 10 at 3 p.m. in the Sedona City Council Chambers to discuss urban agriculture as part of the update of the city’s Land Development Code (LDC). The council chambers are located in the City Hall complex at 102 Roadrunner Dr.

    The LDC establishes standards for all new development and redevelopment and is one of the city’s most important tools for protecting and enhancing the unique character of Sedona. In 2016 the city initiated a comprehensive rewrite of several major sections of the code to provide clear and specific direction for development and redevelopment.

    The purpose of the Oct. 10 meeting is to allow discussion on potential standards for urban agriculture, including the keeping of bees and chickens within the community. Urban agriculture is defined, in part, as the raising, keeping or production of fruits, vegetables, flowers and other crops, poultry and bees, composting and the processing of those agricultural products.

    “Many residents have expressed considerable interest in this topic,” says Senior Planner Mike Raber. “We also expect to hear from those with experience keeping chickens and with beekeeping. We will discuss standards that have been proposed for both chickens and bees.”

    On June 19 the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended city council approval of the draft LDC; on July 25 the draft was introduced to the Sedona City Council. The council conducted additional work sessions on the draft Sept. 26 and 27. The council will ultimately consider adoption of the update LDC.

    Visit the city’s LDC webpage at sedonaLDCupdate.com to learn about the Land Development Code and the update process; the draft update and accompanying draft zoning map are also available for review there. Proposed standards for keeping of chickens and bees are on pages 65-67 of the draft.

    Questions? Contact Senior Planner Mike Raber at 928-204-7106 or mraber@sedonaaz.gov.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
