    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.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
