The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the existing land use and ownership patterns, identify the major environmental characteristics and propose policies for adoption by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors that will serve as a guide for future development within Oak Creek Canyon from Pumphouse Wash to Midgely Bridge. Formal planning for the area originated in 1976. The "Sedona Community Plan" was subsequently adopted by Coconino County in late 1979 and has since served as the guide to future land use determinations for that portion of the Sedona community located within Coconino County.
