STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This annexation assists in furthering the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible, as it clarifies jurisdiction for access to City resources and services.

 

REPORT:

The annexation area, as shown in the map attached to Ordinance O2025-025 (Introduced later in this agenda), totals approximately 4.46 acres consisting of four parcels and the adjacent 27th Street, 20th Avenue and 21st Drive right-of-way.

The properties are owned by:

1.                     Vision Assets, LLC, parcel 694-14-006,

2.                     Cynthia Ann Ray Sub-Trust, parcel 694-14-005,

3.                     Ignacio R. Covarrubias, parcel 694-14-004, and

4.                     Adrian Covarrubias, parcel 694-14-003.

Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-471 (the state’s annexation law) requires that, “On or before the date the governing body adopts the ordinance annexing territory, the governing body shall have approved a plan, policy or procedure to provide the annexed territory with appropriate levels of infrastructure and services to serve anticipated new development within 10 years after the date when the annexation becomes final pursuant to Subsection D of this Section.”  

Approval of this Infrastructure and Services Report will fulfill the statutory requirement to have an approved plan, policy or procedure to provide the annexed territory with appropriate levels of infrastructure and services to serve anticipated new development within ten years of annexation.

The 2022 General Plan (adopted April 6, 2022, R2022-011) establishes the foundational blueprint and policies for providing infrastructure and services to all property within the City of Yuma.  The following policy and plans will provide the lands within newly annexed areas with an appropriate level of infrastructure and services within 10 years of annexation. 

Plan and Policy for Land Use

The City of Yuma 2022 General Plan identifies the land use designation for the property as Low Density Residential. Upon annexation, the property will be zoned to the Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH-20) District. 

The City of Yuma Growth and Development Policy (R99-30) notes that it is in the best interest of the citizens and taxpayers of the City that urban land uses in the vicinity of the City should be part of the City of Yuma.

Plan and Policy for Roads

City Council policy is to require the dedication of needed rights-of-way and appropriate contributions toward the construction of arterials and collectors, linear parks or pathways, when warranted by proposed development projects.  The dedications and contributions will be consistent with the City of Yuma’s Transportation Master Plan (October 2014) and 2018 Yuma Bikeways Plan (adopted March 6, 2019, R2019-004).

Arterial Roads:  Deficiencies in rights-of-way can be corrected via dedications as adjacent land is rezoned or subdivided for development, as warranted.  Fair-share contributions for the improvement of existing roadways can be collected from development projects as they are approved by the City of Yuma, as warranted. The annexation area is adjacent to 27th Street, which is identified as a Local road and 21st Drive, which is identified as a Collector road.

Plan and Policy for Water and Sewer Systems

All development projects must have approved water systems and sewer treatment available to serve the project, consistent with the City of Yuma’s 2023 Integrated Water Resources Master Plan (September 2023). 

Water SystemsThe property is within the service area of the Main Street Water Treatment Plant but there is no current water service to the site.  The extension of any water mains to serve a proposed development project will be paid for by the development project seeking the water service.

Sewer Systems:  The property is located within the Figueroa Avenue Water Pollution Control Facility service area but there is no current sewer service to the site.  The extension of any sewer mains to serve a proposed development project will be paid for by the development project seeking the sewer service.

Plan and Policy for Emergency Services

Fire and Emergency Medical Services will be provided in a manner consistent with the City of Yuma Fire Services and Facilities Plan (adopted July 19, 2023, R2023-027).  The site is in the current service area for Fire Station No. 6.

Public Safety services will be provided in a manner consistent with the City of Yuma 2022 General Plan.  The site is within the service area of the City of Yuma Police Department Headquarters located at 1500 S. 1st Avenue. 

Plan and Policy for Parks

Park sites will be acquired consistent with the City of Yuma’s adopted Parks, Arts, Recreation & Trails Master Plan (adopted July 17, 2024, R2024-036), subject to the availability of funds.  City Council policy is to require the dedication of needed rights-of-way and appropriate contributions toward the construction of linear parks or pathways when warranted by the development of the parcels of land.

Plan and Policy for Stormwater Collection and Disposal

All development projects must have approved stormwater collection and disposal systems available to serve the project, consistent with that master plan, as well as the City of Yuma Drainage Policy (Ordinance Nos. 1670 and 1836) and 2003 Stormwater Management Program, as amended. The creation of new facilities or extension of any pre-existing stormwater facilities to serve a proposed development project will be paid for by the development project seeking the stormwater collection and disposal service.
