STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

The rezoning of the property will support residential development that will be responsibly constructed, meeting all codes and requirements. This rezone assists in furthering the City Council’s strategic outcomes as it relates to Safe and Prosperous, and Respected and Responsible.

 

REPORT:

The property was annexed in 2008 as one parcel. The Manufactured Housing Subdivision (MHS) Zoning District was assigned upon annexation.  The three parcels were created in 2011. 

 

                     Parcel A is 14,725 sq. ft. and is vacant;

                     Parcel B is 12,049 sq. ft. and is vacant;

                     Parcel C is 21,433 sq. ft. and contains residences, and storage buildings.

 

The property owner wishes to rezone in anticipation of the construction of new site-built residences. 

 

Yuma City Code §154-07.01 describes the following as some of the development standards required of a development with the Medium Density Residential (R-2) District:

 

1.                     The minimum lot size is 4,500 sq. ft.;

2.                     The maximum lot coverage shall not exceed 55% of the lot area;

3.                     A minimum front yard setback is 20 feet:

4.                     A minimum side yard setback is 5 feet;

5.                     A minimum rear yard setback is 10 feet; and

6.                     A maximum building height of 40 feet (20 ft. when adjacent to AG).

 

The request to rezone the property from the Manufactured Housing Subdivision (MHS) District to the Medium Density Residential (R-2) District is in conformance with the Medium Density Residential Land Use Category shown in the General Plan.

 

On August 26, 2024, The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL of the rezoning from the Manufactured Housing Subdivision (MHS) District to the Medium Density Residential (R-2) 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.                     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.
