STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This General Plan amendment furthers the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by providing an adequate mixture and balance of land uses.
REPORT:
This is a Minor General Plan Amendment request by Dahl, Robins, and Associates, Inc. on behalf of Javier and Angela Cruz and John and Lilia Cruz, to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential for approximately 1.04 acres, for the properties located approximately 305 feet north of the northwest corner of W. 12th Street and Palm Avenue, Yuma AZ.
The existing Low Density Residential land use designation 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) districts.
The proposed High Density Residential land use designation supports the following types of zoning: High Density Family Residential (R-3), Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH), Recreation Vehicle Subdivision (RVS), and Manufactured Housing Park (MHP) districts.
The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to pursue a rezoning of the site to High Density Residential (R-3) in Yuma County. The proposed land use designation would allow the applicant to develop a multi-family residential development.
The proposed High Density Residential land use designation will provide additional new City water and sewer infrastructure to this multi-family residential development and allow the property owner to enter into a Pre-Annexation Agreement with the City to provide water and sewer connections.
On January 8, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (4-0, with one absent and two vacancies) of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation to High Density Residential.
