STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Consistent with the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible, the proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area and further supports residential development with the City of Yuma.
REPORT:
The subject property is located along Maple Avenue and is approximately 6,300 square feet in size. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from the Light Industrial/Infill Overlay (L-I/IO) to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/IO) District. Any new residential expansions on the property requires a rezone to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/IO) District.
Further 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-1-6) District:
1. The minimum lot size is 6,000 sq. ft.;
2. The maximum lot coverage shall not exceed 50% of the lot area;
3. A minimum front yard setback of 20 feet for all buildings, including accessory structures;
4. A minimum side yard setback of 5 feet*;
5. A minimum rear yard setback of 10 feet; and
6. A maximum building height of 40 feet.
*Infill Overlay Incentive.
The request to rezone the property from the Light Industrial/Infill Overlay District to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/IO) District is in conformance with the Low Density Residential Land Use Category in the General Plan.
Four similar rezoning requests have been approved within this area; occurring in 2007, 2023, and 2024.
On April 28, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL of the rezoning from the Light Industrial/Infill Overlay (L-I/IO) District to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/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 or prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, Certificate of Occupancy or City of Yuma Business License for this site, whichever occurs first. If the conditions of approval are not completed within the above timeframe then the rezone shall be subject to ARS § 9-462.01.
