According to a recent article by Carl Jackson at SedonBiz.com, “This may be the year when the stars finally align and the Sedona Housing Commission can implement one of its strategies for increasing the affordable housing stock in Sedona: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), guest houses with their own full kitchen.”  The Sedona Housing Commission is considering changing its ordinances to allow for people who are struggling to make some income to help pay their mortgages.  Prior legislation made renting units in residential neighborhoods for less than a month period illegal, not to mention that legislation disallowed guest houses to have full kitchens installed in them.  People in Sedona and across the country are looking for ways not only to add income to their households but also to improve the values of their properties.  The Sedona Housing Commission is looking closely at this issue and considering making changes.  They want to keep the 30 day minimum rental limit in place to avoid constant turnovers in residential neighborhoods but they are willing to move forward and make ADUs legal for the sake of the many property owners who can benefit.
