end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Rezone approximately .15 acres from the Light Industrial/Infill Overlay (L-I/IO) District to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/IO) District. (Community Development/Community Planning) (Alyssa Linville)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Consistent with the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible, the proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area and supports residential development within the City.
REPORT:
The subject property is located at 1731 S. Madison Avenue, in the Clarence Trigg Subdivision Unit 2 which was recorded on May 15, 1951. The property is approximately 6,341 square feet in size and is currently developed with a 1,191 square foot single family home built in 1942.
The area was annexed to the City in 1956 and following annexation, the area was zoned Industrial “A” with a subsequent rezoning in 1981 to the Light Industrial (L-I) District.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from 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 actual use. The applicant is considering constructing an accessory dwelling unit and a detached garage in the near future which would not be allowed in the current Light Industrial zoning district.
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 uses. This request would also be in conformance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
On October 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (5-0) of the request to rezone approximately .15 acres from the Light Industrial/Infill Overlay (L-I/IO) District to the Low Density Residential/Infill Overlay (R-1-6/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. The Owner shall submit to the City of Yuma, for recordation, a signed and notarized Avigation Easement on the property acknowledging potential noise and overflight of aircraft from both daily and special operations of the Marine Corps Air Station and the Yuma International Airport.
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.
