STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This Major 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 Bruce and Linda Butcher, to change the land use designation from Commercial to High Density Residential for approximately 2.8 acres located at 1749 S. Arizona Avenue and the northeast corner of Riley Avenue and 18th Street.
The existing Commercial land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Transitional (TR), Planned Shopping Center (PSC), Limited Commercial (B-1), General Commercial (B-2), and Business Park (BP) districts.
The proposed High Density Residential land use designation (13 to 30 dwelling units per acre) supports the following types of zoning: High Density Residential District (R-3), Residence-Manufactured Housing District (R-MH), Recreational Vehicle Subdivision District (RVS) and Manufactured Housing Park District (MHP).
The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to develop a multi-family residential development within the High-Density Residential District (R-3).
On October 9, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (6-0) of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation from Commercial to High Density Residential. As required by state statute, the City of Yuma Planning and Zoning Commission held an earlier September 11, 2023 public hearing on this item in order to take additional public comment.
