end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Approval of this rezone supports development in the City that will be responsibly constructed, meeting all codes and requirements. This rezone furthers the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible.
REPORT:
The subject property is located at 764 S. 21st Avenue and is approximately 4.3 acres. However, the requested rezone only relates to a portion of the property, approximately 2.5 acres as shown in Exhibit A attached to the proposed ordinance. Annexed into the City of Yuma on February 2, 1954, the property was recently the subject of a General Plan Amendment to change the designated land use from Low Density Residential to Commercial.
The property currently has two zoning designations: High Density Residential (R-3) and General Commercial (B-2). With this request the applicant is seeking to rezone 2.5 acres, a portion of the property, from the High Density Residential (R-3) District to the General Commercial (B-2) District resulting in a single zoning designation. The site is currently developed with 21 buildings, these buildings include company housing units, a garage, and an indoor recreation facility/laundry area. There are no plans to add additional buildings to the site, although new and future development will be required to meet City of Yuma development standards of the General Commercial (B-2) District.
The request to rezone the property from the High Density (R-3) District to the General Commercial (B-2) District conforms with the General Plan as requested by the applicant. That General Plan amendment will be heard was approved by City Council on February 19, 2025.
On February 24, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the request to rezone the approximate 2.5 acres from the High Density Residential (R-3) District to the General Commercial (B-2) District for the property located at 764 S. 21st Avenue intersection, 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. 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.
