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 Major Amendment to the City of Yuma General Plan. Per A.R.S. 9-461.06 H “…a major amendment to the general plan shall be approved by affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the governing body of the municipality.”)
This is a Major General Plan Amendment request by Bob Woodman, on behalf of Café Main Street Properties, to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential to Commercial for approximately 4.18 acres, for the property located west of the W. 7th Street and S. 21st Avenue intersection, 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 Commercial land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Transitional (TR), Planned Shopping Center (PSC), Limited Commercial (B-1), General Commercial (B-2), and Business Park (BP) districts.
The applicant’s intent in changing the land use designation is to pursue a rezoning of the site to General Commercial (B-2) for the development of company housing.
Within the General Commercial (B-2) district company housing (large) is a permitted use. Company housing (large) is defined by the zoning code as housing provided to employees by a commercial entity, labor contractor or employer. Occupancy for a large complex shall be determined by the Property Maintenance Code. The applicant is proposing to develop the site with 6 apartment buildings with 16 apartments per building. The number of occupants can vary depending on the size of the bedrooms and the total square footage of the living and dining areas. Company housing developments can be occupied year-round with the largest group occupying the units during the busiest season, between November through March. During the remaining months, the development is occupied at less than half capacity.
On January 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (5-0), with two vacancies, of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation to Commercial.
