The city of Sedona staff invites everyone who lives or works in Sedona to attend one of the two upcoming public meetings to discuss the proposed accessory dwelling unit ordinance.
Whether you are a homeowner or a renter, an employer, an employee or retired, your input is important.
According to a press release, the ordinance proposes to allow and regulate the long-term rental of accessory dwelling units such as guest houses and mother-in-law flats to create additional affordable rental opportunities in Sedona.
The objective of the upcoming meetings is to present an overview of the proposal and to seek input from the community regarding the draft ordinance. One open public meeting and one informal discussion group are scheduled.
The first public meeting is an informal discussion Thursday, July 23, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Sedona City Hall in the Vultee Conference Room, 106 Roadrunner Drive.
The second meeting includes a short presentation of the ordinance proposal with the remaining time reserved for questions and answers as well as comments. This meeting will be held Thursday, Aug. 6, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the Pushmataha Center, 360 Brewer Road in Sedona.
The draft accessory dwelling unit ordinance is posted on the city’s Web site at www.SedonaAZ.gov/housing, Housing Strategies, Draft ADU Ordinance – 6-03-09.
Written comments are always welcome and will be considered in the review and approval process. Be part of the discussion on this important issue. Attend and participate.
