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 approximately 50 feet wide and 125 feet deep, with frontage on S. Madison Avenue. Currently, there is a single-family home built on the property.
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 to bring the zoning of the property into conformance with the use. By rezoning the, the property owner will have the ability to refinance, market, or expand upon the current development.
The subject property is located within the area of the City that was subdivided in the 1950s. This neighborhood is a mix of commercial, industrial & residential uses. South of 17th Street and east of Madison Avenue is primarily residential.
Several properties in the area are developed with residential homes and the rezone of this property would match the surrounding character and nature of the current use. This request is in conformance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
On July 28, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL of the rezoning from the Light Industrial (L-I) District to the Low Density Residential (R-1-6) District, while maintaining the existing Infill Overlay (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.
