Reaction to a proposal to turn the Ironwood Golf Course into a high-end residential development was mixed during a public hearing held by the Yuma Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday.
This was the first of two hearings on a request to change the land use designation of the private golf course located at 2945 W. 8th St.
Kelly Curtis, owner of Ironwood of Yuma, wants to amend the property use in the city’s general plan from medium density residential to high density residential for the nearly 13-acre property.
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.
