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 Major General Plan Amendment request by Dahl, Robins & Associates, Inc., on behalf of 19 A, LLC, to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential, Resort, Recreation & Open Space, Business Park, and Public/Quasi-Public to Industrial for approximately 160 acres, for the properties located at the northeast corner of County 19th Street and Avenue A, Yuma, AZ.
The existing Low Density Residential land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Suburban Ranch (SR-1), Residential Estates (RE-12, RE-18, RE-35), Low Density Residential (R-1-5, R-1-6, R-1-8, R-1-12, R-1-20, and R-1-40) and Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH) Districts.
The existing Resort, Recreation & Open Space land use designation is intended to identify parks and recreation sites and supports the following types of zoning: Agriculture (AG) and Recreation and Open Space (RO).
The existing Business Park land use designation supports the following types of zoning: General Commercial (B-2), Business Park (BP), and Industrial Park (I-P) districts.
The existing Public/Quasi-Public land use designation allows publicly owned and operated facilities or those devoted to public use by the governmental and quasi-public or non-profit entities such as schools, hospitals, churches, military installations and/or government buildings. The Public/Quasi-Public land use designation supports a full range of zoning districts.
The proposed Industrial land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Industrial Park (I-P), Light Industrial (L-I), and Heavy Industrial (H-I) districts.
The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to pursue a rezoning of the site for future industrial development.
