end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Consistent with the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible, and Safe and Prosperous, the proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area and supports residential development within the City.
REPORT:
The property is located approximately 160 feet west of the northwest corner of 27th Street and 20th Avenue and is approximately .43 acres in size. The property was annexed into the City of Yuma on August 15, 2025.
With this request, the applicant proposes to rezone the property from the Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH-20) District to the Medium Density Residential (R-2) District to allow for the development of a duplex subdivision. The applicant states “the property is proposed to be incorporated into the Lume Desert Living development, a residential development consisting of 13 residential lots. Each lot is planned to accommodate one duplex structure, for a total of 26 dwelling units. The proposed lots are approximately 50 to 58 feet in width by 136 feet in depth.
On April 27, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the request to rezone approximately .43 acres from the Residence Manufactured Housing (R-MH-20) District to the Medium Density Residential (R-2) District for the property located approximately160 feet west of the northwest corner of 27th Street and 20th Avenue, 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. 27th Street is classified as a Local Road per the City of Yuma Roadways Plan. The existing right-of-way half width is 20 feet; therefore, the owner/developer shall dedicate an additional 9 feet of right-of-way to meet the required 29-foot right-of-way half width.
4. 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.
