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:
Clerk Note: It was noted in the presentation to City Council on November 1, 2023, that this is a Minor General Plan Amendment and not a Major General Plan Amendment.
This is a Major General Plan Amendment request by Dahl, Robins & Associates, Inc., on behalf of Yuma Regional Medical Center, to change the land use designation from Mixed Use to Commercial for approximately 7.18 acres, for the property located at the northwest corner of 24th Street and Elks Lane.
The existing Mixed Use land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Low Density Single-Family Residential (R-1-5, Low Density Residential (R-1-6), Medium Density Residential (R-2), Medium Density Single-Family Residential (R-2-5), Residence-Manufactured Housing (R-MH), Manufactured Housing Subdivision (MHS), Transitional (TR), Planned Shopping Center (PSC), Limited Commercial (B-1), and Industrial Park (I-P) districts.
The proposed Commercial land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Transitional (TR), Old Town (OT), 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 medical education building and related facilities. Within the proposed development, a parking structure is planned to accommodate the parking required for the new medical education building and related facilities.
On October 9, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (6-0) of the General Plan amendment request to change the land use designation to Commercial.
