Sedona City Council

Sedona voters will decide the fate of a controversial program that would allow workers to sleep in their cars in the parking lot of the Sedona Cultural Park.

Sedona residents have started the process to force a referendum over the city council’s recent decision to set up a “safe place to park” for unhoused workers.

The Sedona City Council approved a zoning change that will allow workers experiencing homelessness to sleep in their cars in a “safe” parking lot at the Sedona Cultural Park. It’s part of an effort to combat the ongoing housing crisis.

The Sedona City Council has shelved the idea to ban off-highway vehicles on city streets. Instead, they're now working with rental companies to self-regulate their customers.

The City of Sedona will offer four housing workshops over the next week as they prepare to update their community plan.
