MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
Overview: The Town of Sahuarita has applied for a Minor General Plan Amendment (Case No. SA7-21-00001). This amendment has two purposes:
- Correct the list of zones appropriate for each land use category. A zoning code amendment several years ago added and deleted certain commercial zones. The list of zones in the General Plan has not been updated to match the new zones in the zoning code. This amendment will make that correction.
- The NC Neighborhood Commercial and MX Mixed Use zones were added to the zoning code and are proposed as appropriate zones in the General Plan's Commercial and Mixed Use land use categories.
- The TR Transitional, RVC Rural Village Center, and MU Multiple Use zones were removed from the zoning code and are proposed from removal from the General Plan's Medium High Density Residential, High Density Residential, Commercial, and Mixed Use land use categories.
- Change the criteria for what can be considered a Minor General Plan Amendment to allow a change from a Commercial or High Density Residential land use to a Mixed Use land use to follow the process for a Minor General Plan Amendment. The purpose of this change is to provide property owners with more flexibility to make changes to their land use categories while still offering ample opportunity for public notice and public input on changes.
- A Minor General Plan Amendment requires a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission followed by a public hearing before the Town Council. Applications are accepted during any time of the year.
- A Major General Plan Amendment requires two public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission followed by a public hearing before the Town Council. Applications are only accepted January through April.
General Plan land use categories differ from zoning districts in that they are a guide for future zone changes. Zoning districts, on the other hand, include a list of specific uses that are allowed on a property along with standards for development of those uses. All zone changes must conform to the General Plan land use map.
This proposed plan amendment DOES NOT change the zoning or land use for any property.
Submitted: 1st: 7/29/2021
Status: Under review.
Next Steps: The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing and will make a recommendation on the proposal. Town Council will make a decision at a public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing is anticipated for November 1, 2021, at 6pm.
