REPORT:
This is a Minor General Plan Amendment request by the City of Yuma, to amend Map 2-4 of the City of Yuma 2022 General Plan to include the identification of the Influence Area for the Barry M. Goldwater Range and the Vicinity Boundary for the Marine Corps Air Station - Yuma.
The purpose of this General Plan amendment is to implement amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes as required by House Bill 2548 - military installations and general plans.
House Bill 2548, approved by the legislature and signed by the Governor on March 29, 2024, defines Military Influence Areas for military facilities across Arizona. The House Bill further states the requirement to identify the influence areas within each city or town General Plan.
For the City of Yuma, the military facility listed is the Barry M. Goldwater Range. The Military Influence Area is identified as all lands within two miles of the exterior perimeter or fence line of the military installation. This General Plan amendment is to identify the military influence area on Map 2-4 of the General Plan within the chapter on Land Use.
Map 2-4 is being further amended to reflect the boundary line for Territory in the vicinity of the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma as defined and noted in Arizona Revised Statutes § 28-8461 and 28-8481.
On January 26, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (5-0) of the request by the City of Yuma to amend Map 2-4 of the City of Yuma 2022 General Plan to include the identification of the Influence Area for the Barry M.
