end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Amend Title 15, Chapter 154, Article 8, Section 4 General Commercial District, Subsection E, to amend the list of Conditional Uses to include cemeteries on a minimum area of 15 acres as a Conditional Use within the General Commercial (B-2) Zoning District. (Planning and Neighborhood Services) (Alyssa Linville)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The proposed text amendment will address the need to create a community where all uses and activities are mutually in balance. The proposed amendment supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible.
REPORT:
The current City of Yuma Zoning Code allows cemeteries as conditional uses in several districts, including the Agriculture District, Suburban Ranch Districts, Residential Estate Districts, Low Density Residential Districts, Medium Density Residential Districts, and High Density Residential Districts. The Yuma City Code does not specify a minimum acreage requirement for cemetery development within these districts, nor does the Yuma City Code allow cemeteries as a conditional use in the General Commercial (B-2) District.
The two cemeteries situated within the City of Yuma were developed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s in what is now a General Commercial (B-2) District. The proposed text amendment will permit cemeteries in the B-2 District with a minimum area of 15 acres, subject to approval through a Conditional Use permit.
On June 24, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend APPROVAL (4-0) of the request by Arick Dombrowski on behalf of Yuma Memorial Park, LLC, for a Zoning Code Text Amendment to amend Title 15, Chapter 154, Article 8, Section 4, General Commercial District, Subsection E to amend the list of Conditional Uses to include cemeteries on a minimum area of 15 acres as a Conditional Use within the General Commercial (B-2) Zoning District.
