Yuma golf course to see housing development

By Mara Knaub | Yuma Sun

Members of the Yuma City Council welcome plans to turn a 13-acre golf course into a multi-family housing development in view of the city’s housing shortage.

“Since we’re so lacking in supply of multi-family housing, it’s great to see such a new project coming up and I hope this goes through,” Councilwoman Karen Watts said.

Mayor Doug Nicholls echoed the sentiment but with nostalgia. “It’s the golf course I learned to play golf on, so it’s kind of sad to see it go away, but like Councilmember Watts mentioned, more housing options for the community is definitely something that we need,” he said.

The council held a public hearing and unanimously approved a request to change the land use designation in the city’s general plan for property located at 2945 W. 8th St. from medium density residential to high density residential.

The applicant, Kelly Curtis, owner of Ironwood of Yuma, told city officials that the intent is to close the existing 1,720-yard, nine-hole golf course built in 1989 and develop a mixed multi-family and townhome residential development with access through 8th Street.
