Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Ordinance No. 2015-05 to Rezone Assessor's Parcel No. 205-08-005.

Background Information

In 1980, the Board of Supervisors approved a request to rezone a 400 foot wide strip of land along Highway 188 to C3 (Commercial Three District) zoning. Parcel number 205-08-005 became a multi-zoned parcel with C3 and R1-D8 (Residence One District with a minimum 8,000 square foot lot size) zoning. At that time there was a home situated on the parcel. The home was located within the C3 portion of the parcel. This created a very difficult situation for obtaining financing for this parcel as a residential property. The Gila County Comprehensive Master Plan, which was adopted in 2003, has designated this property as residential. This home was permitted in 1948. It appears from a review of the records that a permit was issued for commercial development on residentially zoned property and this was being done in reaction to that error.

Earlier on this date, the Gila County Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this application and voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors' approval of the zoning change.

Evaluation

At the time this property was rezoned in 1980, County staff had asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission not do this but instead simply rezone the two parcels that had been permitted for commercial development in error. This is not the only residential property within this strip of commercial zoning. There are several more parcels in this situation.

Conclusion

Staff are in agreement with this application to rezone to the current usage.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors rezone Parcel No. 205-08-005 from C3 and R1-D8 to R1-D8 to place the property's zoning back to its initial status and current usage as a residential property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Ordinance No. 2015-05 amending the Zoning Map for Unincorporated Areas of Gila County for the rezoning of Assessor's parcel number 205-08-005 (1451 E. Highway 188, Globe, AZ) from a C3 (Commercial Three District) and R1-D8 (Residence One District with a minimum 8,000 square foot lot size) zoning to R1-D8 zoning. (Bob Gould)
