STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

REPORT:
The subject properties are located at 1749 S. Arizona Avenue and the northeast corner of Riley Avenue and 18th Street as depicted in the ordinance. In their entirety, the subject parcels are approximately 8.19 acres. The requested rezone only relates to a portion of the properties, 2.82 acres as indicated, which were part of a Major General Plan Amendment approved on November 15, 2023, changing the land use designation from Commercial to High Density Residential.
With this request, the applicant seeks to rezone the subject areas to the High Density Residential (R-3) District, with the intent to develop the properties with a multi-family residential development, while maintaining the existing Infill Overlay (IO) District.
Some permitted principal uses in the High Density Residential (R-3) District include: one single-family dwelling, one two-family dwelling, multi-family dwellings, schools, parks, and community gardens.
Yuma City Code §154-07.03, describes the development standards required of development within the High Density Residential (R-3) District:
1. The density within the High Density Residential (R-3) District shall be 13 to 30 dwelling units/acres (meeting the density as identified in the General Plan);
2. The maximum lot coverage in the High Density Residential (R-3) District shall be 35% of the lot area. An additional 5% lot coverage is permitted for common recreation buildings. The covered parking provided shall be permitted in addition to the maximum lot coverage percentages listed above, provided that the total lot coverage does not exceed 50% of the lot area;
3. A minimum front yard setback of twenty feet;
4. The minimum side yard setbacks of 7 feet;
5. A minimum rear yard setback of ten feet;
6. A minimum street side yard setback of ten feet.
The request to rezone the property from the General Commercial (B-2) District to the High Density Residential (R-3) District is in conformance with the General Plan.
On February 12, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend the rezoning from the General Commercial/Infill Overlay (B-2/IO) District to the High Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-3/IO) District, 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.
