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.
The purpose of the Verde Valley Multimodal Transportation Study is to develop a long-range regional transportation plan to guide the implementation of transportation improvements on the roads of regional significance in the Verde Valley, including I-17, State Routes, and roads on the County Regional Road System. This Study is an update of the 1999 Verde Valley Transportation Study Update.
At the request of the U.S. Forest Service to Red Rock Jeep Tours of Sedona a geologic report on the condition of the Devils Kitchen sinkhole was required for the safe continuation of Jeep visits to the site (Fig. 1). Mark Avery of the jeep company contacted me to study the site and write up my findings. The study of sinkholes in the Sedona area has been of interest to the writer for some time and the present study is hoped to shed some light on these fascinating geologic features. This report is offered as a public contribution at the cost of publication and without fee.
