SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Rezone approximately 12,000 square feet, from the General Commercial (B-2) District to the Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS) District. (Community Development/Community Planning) (Alyssa Linville)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This rezone furthers the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by facilitating compatible development that meets the operational needs of an existing RV Park.
REPORT:
The subject property is located near the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and 32nd Street. The property is currently zoned General Commercial (B-2) District. The property owner is requesting to rezone approximately 12,000 square feet (160’x75’) of the 6.27-acre parcel to the Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS) District.
The Palms RV Resort currently utilizes this property to store materials associated with the maintenance of the RV Park. Once rezoned, the applicant intends to split this portion of the property and tie the 12,000 square foot parcel to the Palms RV Resort, located directly south of the subject property. The remaining portion of the property is intended to be sold.
The applicant will continue to utilize this portion of the property to store materials as an accessory use to the RV Park. In addition, the applicant will screen the materials with a solid Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) wall, similar to the subdivision boundary wall along the perimeter of the Palms RV Resort. The conceptual site plan is attached (Attachment B of the Planning and Zoning Report).
The request to rezone the property from the General Commercial (B-2) District to the Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS) District is in conformance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
On December 8, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (6-0) of the request to rezone approximately 12,000 square feet from the General Commercial (B-2) District to the Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS) District for a portion of the property located at the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and 32nd Street, subject to the following conditions:
1. The conditions listed below are in addition to City codes, rules, fees and regulations that are applicable to this action.
2. The Owner’s signature on the application for this land use action shall constitute a waiver of any claims for diminution in value pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-1134.
3. Each of the conditions listed above shall be completed within two (2) years of the effective date of the rezoning ordinance or prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, Certificate of Occupancy or City of Yuma Business License for this site, whichever occurs first. If the conditions of approval are not completed within the above timeframe then the rezone shall be subject to A.R.S. § 9-462.01.
