STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

REPORT:
The subject property is located at 920 S. Avenue B and is approximately 9.39 acres. The property was annexed into the City of Yuma on December 16, 2022, and in 2023 was the subject of a General Plan Amendment to change the designated land use from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use.
With this rezone request the applicant seeks to rezone the property from the Agriculture (AG) District to the Limited Commercial (B-1) District for development of medical facilities. In the Limited Commercial (B-1) District, medical offices and clinics are permitted uses. Hospital uses must also obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). All new development will be required to meet City of Yuma development standards. The request to rezone the property from the Agriculture (AG) District to the Limited Commercial (B-1) District conforms with the General Plan.
On January 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the request to rezone approximately 9.39 acres from the Agriculture (AG) District to the Limited Commercial (B-1) District for the property located at 920 S. Avenue B, Yuma, AZ, 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. The Owner/Developer shall provide a Traffic Impact Statement providing peak hour traffic count based on the Trip Generation Manual from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, sealed by an Arizona Engineer with Traffic Experience. Mitigation of the traffic impact shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to building permits being issued.
4. If the peak hour traffic count exceeds 100 vehicles per hour, then the Owner/Developer shall submit a full Traffic Study with onsite and offsite mitigation recommendations as required by City construction standard 2-040, sealed by an Arizona traffic Engineer. The Owner/Developer will be responsible for the needed onsite and offsite improvements, prior to the building permits being issued.
5. Owner/Developer shall design and construct a southbound to westbound turn lane along the Avenue B frontage including any traffic striping and signage as needed for safe ingress and egress of the site.
6. 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 A.R.S. § 9-462.01.
