REPORT:
This is a Major General Plan Amendment request by Robert Woodman, on behalf of Fred Lee Tillman, to change the land use designation from Industrial, Suburban Density Residential and Low Density Residential to Suburban Density Residential and Low Density Residential for approximately 36.24 acres, for the property located at the northeast corner of 40th Street and 5¼ E, Yuma, AZ.
The existing Industrial land use designation of 23.76 acres supports the following types of zoning: Industrial Park (I-P), Light Industrial (L-I) and Heavy Industrial (H-I) districts.
The existing Suburban Density Residential land use designation of 11.20 acres supports the following types of zoning: Suburban Ranch (SR-1, SR-2) Residential Estate (RE-12, RE-18, RE-35), Low Density Residential (R-1-12, R-1-20, R-1-40), and Residence-Manufactured Housing District (RMH-10, RMH-12, RMH-20) districts.
The existing Low Density Residential land use designation of 1.28 acres supports the following types of zoning: Suburban Ranch (SR-1), Residential Estate (RE-12, RE-18, RE-35), Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5), Low Density Residential (R-1-6, R-1-8, R-1-12, R-1-20, R-1-40) and Residence- Manufactured Housing (R-MH-6, R-MH-8, R-MH-10, R-MH-12, R-MH-20) districts.
The proposed Suburban Density Residential land use designation of 27.64 acres, to be located north of 39th Street, supports the following types of zoning: Suburban Ranch (SR-1, SR-2) Residential Estate (RE-12, RE-18, RE-35), Low Density Residential (R-1-12, R-1-20, R-1-40), and Residence-Manufactured Housing District (RMH-10, RMH-12, RMH-20) districts.
The proposed Low Density Residential land use designation of 8.6 acres, to be located south of 39th Street, supports the following types of zoning: Suburban Ranch (SR-1), Residential Estate (RE-12, RE-18, RE-35), Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5), Low Density Residential (R-1-6, R-1-8, R-1-12, R-1-20, R-1-40) and Residence- Manufactured Housing (R-MH-6, R-MH-8, R-MH-10, R-MH-12, R-MH-20) districts.
The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to pursue a rezone of approximately 8.6 acres to Low Density Residential (R-1-12) and rezone approximately 27.64 acres to Suburban Ranch (SR-1) for the development of 32 single-family residential lots.
On January 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (4-0), with three absences, of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation to Suburban Density Residential and Low Density Residential
