end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This General Plan amendment furthers the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by providing an adequate mixture and balance of land uses.

 

REPORT:

This is a Minor General Plan Amendment request by Dahl, Robins & Associates, on behalf of Brian L. Hall Living Trust and Michael T. Hall Living Trust, to change the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential for approximately 14.5 acres, for a portion of the property located at the southeast corner of the State Route SR-195 and 40th Street, Yuma, AZ.

 

The existing Medium Density Residential land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Medium Density Residential (R-2 and R-2-5), Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS), Manufactured Housing Subdivision (MHS), and Manufactured Housing Park (MHP) districts.

The proposed High Density Residential land use designation supports the following types of zoning: High Density Residential (R-3), Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH), Recreational Vehicle Subdivision (RVS) and Manufactured Housing Park (MHP) districts.

The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to pursue a rezoning of the site to allow the development of multi-family units.

On January 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (5-0) of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation to High Density Residential.
