Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Ordinance No. 2017-01 regarding Planning and Zoning Case No. Z-17-01 to amend the Zoning Map for Unincorporated Areas of Gila County for parcel numbers 205-07-020M, 205-07-020N and 205-07-020P, which are owned by Manny and Mary Casillas.

Background Information

Manny and Mary Casillas submitted an application to rezone three parcels from Commercial Three (C3) to Residential One (R1-D8) for the purpose of allowing the placement of a single family residence on each parcel. C3 zoning does not allow single family residential except as a caretaker unit for a business. Surrounding land uses are currently developed as single family residential.

Evaluation

This area was rezoned from single family residential 25 years ago due to the location being ideal for commercial development. It has been the subject of several applications due to the lack of demand from commercial developers wanting to develop in this area. Lenders will not normally provide mortgage funds for a single family residential unit in commercial zoning. Thus this rezoning is necessary.

Conclusion

While there may be incompatible land uses adjacent to each other if commercial development does occur in this area, there has not been any significant demand in the past 25 years. Due to the fact that land on three sides of this lot have already been developed as single family residential, it is unlikely there will be a need for commercial development in this area. Property owners are aware that this may occur.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission by adopting Ordinance No. 2017-01, which approves Planning and Zoning Case No. Z-17-01 with certain conditions.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Ordinance No. 2017-01 amending the Zoning Map for Unincorporated Areas of Gila County for the rezoning of parcel numbers 205-07-020M, 205-07-020N and 205-07-020P from Commercial Three (C3) to Residence One with a D8 Density District (R1-D8) for the purpose of allowing a single family home on each parcel with certain conditions as outlined in the Ordinance.
