In the second of two hearings held by the Yuma Planning and Zoning Commission on the decennial update of the city’s general plan, a local contractor stressed the urgent need for military and multi-family housing.
The general plan is a policy document and guide for the development of Yuma. It contains city information and maps that address general plans, goals, objectives and policies for the development of the city and action items to reach those goals.
The intention of the update is to reflect current demographics, recent built and natural environment changes, development that has occurred over time and updated projections for future community needs.
