STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This subdivision furthers the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by supporting the development of new housing opportunities that will be responsibly constructed and will meet all City codes and development requirements.
REPORT:
The subdivision property is located at the northwest corner of Avenue 6E and 48th Street, south of Villa Serena Unit No. 1. The property was annexed into the City of Yuma on December 19, 2008. Since the annexation, the property has been subject to a General Plan amendment, with the intention of developing the site for single-family development.
With this 2nd phase, the applicant is proposing to construct 33 single-family residences on approximately 14.42 acres. The development is planned for single-family residential lots ranging in size from 9,462 square feet to 17,617 square feet, meeting the minimum lot size requirements for the Low Density Residential (R-1-8) District.
As specified in the Yuma City Code §154-05.04, the following are some of the development standards required of a development in the Low Density Residential (R-1-8) District:
1. The maximum lot coverage in the Low Density Residential (R-1-8) District shall not
exceed 50% of the lot area;
2. A minimum front yard setback of 20 feet;
3. A minimum side yard setback of 7 feet;
4. A minimum rear yard setback of 15 feet;
5. A maximum building height of 40 feet; and
6. A requirement for each lot to provide 2 off-street parking spaces, appropriately located.
Approval of the final plat for the Villa Serena Unit No. 2 Subdivision shall be subject to the following conditions:
1. The conditions 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. The rights-of-way must be dedicated free and clear to the City, and all easements in the
right-of-way must be vacated unless the easement is specifically presented to the City,
and the City specifically approves its acceptance. Approval of the plat is not approval of
an easement in the right-of-way.
4. Any easements on other property in the subdivision must be vacated to the extent that
they would require a utility, licensed cable operator, or other licensed or franchised
communications system (collectively, the "utilities") to:
a. pay to cross the easement to reach any structure on the lot;
b. prevent the utilities from providing service to any structure on a lot; or
c. effectively prevent any entity authorized to place facilities in a utility
easement from using the easements or accessing potential customers
crossing the easement.
5. Approval of the plat does not authorize the maintenance or installation of any facility in
the rights of way, whether or not contemplated by the plat, without a license, franchise,
or similar authorization issued by the City.
6. A time frame of build-out for the subdivision shall be submitted to the Yuma School
District to enable the districts to adequately plan for future school facilities.
7. An 8 ½” X 11” paper copy of this subdivision plat, showing the location of the group
mailboxes and signed as APPROVED by the local Yuma Postmaster, shall be submitted
to the City within sixty (60) calendar days of the effective date of approval of the
subdivision final plat and prior to the issuance of any building permit. In the event this
condition is not completed within this time frame, the approval of the plat is null and void.
8. The Owner/Developer shall be required to establish a Municipal Improvement District
(MID) for the maintenance of required subdivision landscaping prior to the recording of
the final plat.
9. After the final plat has been approved by City Council, the applicant/developer shall have
two years to record the approved plat, or the final plat approval shall be null and void.
The preliminary plat for the Villa Serena Subdivision was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 12, 2018.
