BACKGROUND:

This is a request by Vega & Vega Engineering, PLC, on behalf of Sam Group Investment Company LTD Partnership, property owner, for the final plat approval of a residential subdivision to be called Belleza Del Desierto Phase 2 Subdivision. 

The properties to the north and west have are zoned Medium Density Residential (R1-6). Property to the north is the first phase of this project (Belleza del Desierto Phase 1 Subdivision) and to the west a future subdivision to be called Bienestar 11 Subdivision is on the works. The property to the south is zoned Light Industrial (L-I) and is vacant land. On the east, Southwest Arizona Industrial Subdivision is located with vacant lots zoned industrial and commercial. 

This subdivision will consist of approximately 18.44 acres and is proposed to be divided into 87 lots and one tract for storm water retention. The minimum lot size allowed within this subdivision is 6,000 square feet. 

GENERAL PLAN:
This area was originally designated as Business in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. A Major Amendment was approved by City Council on December 2019 changing the land use designation of this property from Business to Neighborhood. 

The intent of Neighborhood land use designation is to focus on the primary living areas in the community and allow all residential zoning districts. The current General Plan Land Use Designation for this parcel is Neighborhood which is appropriate for the proposed residential development.
