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 Calle Ocho Properties, LLC, to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential to Commercial for approximately 4.3 acres, for the property located at the 764 S. 21st Avenue, 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 site is currently developed with 21 buildings, these building include company housing units, a garage, and an indoor recreation facility/laundry area. There are no plans to add additional buildings. The property currently has two zoning designations: High Density Residential (R-3) and General Commercial (B-2), both of which support company housing. The applicant intends to change the land use designation by rezoning the High Density Residential (R-3) portion to the General Commercial (B-2) district resulting in a single zoning designation for the property.

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.
