Sedona Land Development Code requires riparian-friendly construction along Oak Creek: minimal-impact creekwalk design, 75% native plants, and restricted lawn turf except inside the 500-year floodplain.
Development with frontage on Oak Creek must provide a publicly accessible creekwalk parallel to the creek where appropriate, designed to minimize impact on riparian habitat and floodway. Trails must use gravel or other permeable surfacing that blends with the natural environment except where ADA or Fire District requirements override. Chicken coops are barred within 150 feet of Oak Creek, and 25 feet of any other designated watercourse, to keep wildlife attractants away from the creek corridor.
LDC enforcement; permit denial for development plans that fail riparian-impact review.
