STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This Major 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 General Plan Amendment request by Christopher Colyer with Snell & Wilmer, on behalf of Powerhouse Management, LLC, to change the land use designation from Industrial to Commercial for approximately 7.48 acres, for a portion of the property located at 1717 S. Pacific Avenue
The existing Industrial land use designation supports the following types of zoning: Light Industrial (L-I), Heavy Industrial (H-I), 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 proposed land use designation will allow the applicant to pursue a rezoning of the site to General Commercial (B-2) to develop a commercial retail space within a multi-tenant shopping center following annexation.
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 from Industrial to Commercial. As required by state statute, the City of Yuma Planning and Zoning Commission held an earlier public hearing on this item on September 11, 2023, in order to take additional public comment.
