    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (June 24, 2014) – The City of Sedona is hosting a community planning meeting to introduce a very important planning opportunity for the “Western Gateway” of Sedona.  This community event is on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. at the Yavapai College Sedona Center for Arts and Technology, 4215 Arts Village Drive, Room 34, in Sedona.

    The Western Gateway Community Focus Area (CFA) is the area includingthe Cultural Park, High School, Yavapai College, Sedona Medical Center and general vicinity.  The City will be preparing a specific plan for this area that will address a variety of topics such as land use, circulation, the environment, community, and the economy.  This meeting will introduce the planning process and timeframe, the planning area, how the future plan will be used and most importantly, how everyone can be a part of this process. This meeting will also provide an opportunity to discuss concerns, ask questions, and provide thoughts and ideas on this area.

    This planning effort is supported by the Sedona City Council as a way to begin implementing new Sedona Community Plan.  Although the new Community Plan did not make significant changes to land uses on specific properties, it identifies 13 general priority areas for more detailed planning.  Within these 13 Community Focus Areas (or CFA’s), specific plans will be developed that are consistent with the Sedona Community Plan’s vision, but are intended to provide better guidance for future development. As part of City Council’s direction, staff is initiating this specific planning effort for the CFA’s around the “Western Gateway” to the community, including the general area described above.

    The City’s Citizens Engagement Program is also playing a vital role by including a working group of citizens in this CFA planning project.  The Engagement Program provides several opportunities for citizens to be involved in other City projects.

    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.
