Sedona Land Development Code Article 2 sets lot and building standards by zoning district (RS-70, RS-35, RS-18, RS-6, RM-1, RM-2, RM-3). Any setback from National Forest or Open Space zoning districts is a minimum of 20 feet.
Each residential district has its own lot-and-building-standards table specifying minimum lot size, front/side/rear setbacks, maximum height, and lot coverage. RS-70 means a 70,000-sq-ft minimum lot, RS-35 a 35,000-sq-ft minimum, etc. The 20-foot National Forest/Open Space buffer is on top of the underlying district's setback. Properties along Oak Creek face additional riparian protection rules under §5.6.C.
Building permit denial. Existing structures in violation may be required to abate or seek a variance.
