City staff said the project will consist of four independent dwellings — three two‑bedroom units and one one‑bedroom unit — arranged around an internal courtyard. CCS representatives said residents may remain in the units for up to 12 months and will receive case management, trauma counseling, peer support, employment and education assistance, legal advocacy and help applying for benefits.

The council voted to approve the permit with conditions that limit the expansion to no more than four independent dwelling units, require that each unit be occupied as a single family, require a modified site plan and a landscape plan including street trees, and prohibit custodial or medical care being provided within the dwelling units. Staff said the modified site plan must be administratively approved before any building permit is issued.

Catholic Community Services told council the project was conceived to address a funding and time gap in shelter services: most domestic‑violence shelter programs are funded for about 120 days, which CCS said is usually insufficient for families to stabilize. CCS said it will cap rents using HUD fiscal‑year 2024 fair‑market rents; the agency presented full monthly rents of $913 for a one‑bedroom and $1,067 for a two‑bedroom unit, then said a Bezos Foundation donation will subsidize $704 per unit per month. With that subsidy, CCS said tenant rents would be $209 for the one‑bedroom and $363 for the two‑bedroom units; CCS also said utilities are included in those tenant payments.

CCS representatives said the tiny homes were built by the Ideal Trade Institute in South Tucson, are constructed to state residential codes (not on wheels or a manufactured‑home chassis) and that three units already exist; the Ideal Trade Institute described the homes as student‑built in a trade‑school setting and said inspections follow state code requirements.

City staff noted the site is already served by an 8‑inch public sewer line in the alley and that sidewalks on Taylor and Kayton were recently built to five‑foot widths. At the neighborhood meeting one resident raised concerns about mountain views, landscaping, drainage, sidewalk width and traffic near a nearby intersection; the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval.

CCS told the council it applied for City of Sierra Vista Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the project and that the project also relies on the private donation from the Bezos family. Council members praised the partnership between CCS and the trade school and highlighted added supportive services as part of the program.

The council approved the permit by voice vote with no recorded opposition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting | 04.10.25","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing Catholic Community Services to place four tiny homes at 100 West Kayton Drive as transitional housing for people leaving domestic violence shelters.","taxTitle","Sierra Vista, Cochise County, Arizona","taxId",37671,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":46,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6079562,"Votes at a glance: Sierra Vista City Council, April 10, 2025",2183,1811000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2955455-56fe0835ff215a31bd449bded935116d&start=1811&end=3994","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2955455-56fe0835ff215a31bd449bded935116d/thumbnail_1811000.jpg","/articles/6079562/Arizona/Votes-at-a-glance-Sierra-Vista-City-Council-April-10-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079562-cba2c26ed902d5f16d05df2eab46fc7f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770683131&Signature=VlsxIBgsyRJz4JiZ47shDHyD252n0u~XuXPSDsNZf13ZK9alkZQtPq8wn6pZ92CpU2YOOqSqWrWhizS3uMshopLADOfae3B76uLQ0awjSwUno33hGNgLRAFc8ViLjH8bLxO46PLbXO0W98NuwiFOz7eUUtD8PcKjIAc-Gb~sKin7hzh4vyWdVWXaucXfUa4jaRmWjQsEc0oNW6yFIOVBoDHhPre0ieQ5n1tIi9elSa1BpS1n6reVj0HjLByxK7rjuLY7mTzBB0DShzLOmHfbuZKWSORFl76ttRG~WsBIU-R7GUXanbEILKwElg2wsQko6XmCLxqnI~6H9vThOx~yrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sierra Vista — The City Council took the following formal actions at its April 10 regular meeting.

SmartLink Real Estate, representing AT&T, proposed a 50‑by‑50‑foot lease area to accommodate the monopine and screened ground‑mounted equipment; staff noted the site meets required setback distances and that the tower area will be enclosed behind an eight‑foot masonry wall. Planning staff said the applicant provided propagation maps showing improved coverage where the gap currently exists, and that several nearby towers could not accommodate the needed capacity or co‑location due to height, capacity or location constraints.

Staff described camouflage and design requirements that the applicant agreed to, including branch density and length, branch placement relative to antennas and bark‑colored finishes to conceal vertical elements. The city received a supporting letter from the fire marshal noting the tower would “greatly improve fire and EMS communications” that use the First Responder Network Authority.

During discussion councilmembers asked whether the tower could host a city camera for a public livestream view; the city and applicant said the top of the tower is occupied by antennas but staff will investigate potential lower mounting locations and future colocation needs.

Bill Koenig of SmartLink (representing AT&T) was present and answered council questions. Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval and the council approved the CUP by voice vote with no recorded opposition.","A conditional use permit for a 100‑foot communications tower designed as a faux pine (monopine) at 999 East Fry Boulevard was approved unanimously; applicant and staff said the tower will close a local coverage gap and provide capacity for first‑responder communications.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6079569,"Council approves land‑use change, rezoning for Cochise College Foundation building program on North First Street",391,2094000,2485000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2955455-56fe0835ff215a31bd449bded935116d&start=2094&end=2485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2955455-56fe0835ff215a31bd449bded935116d/thumbnail_2094000.jpg","/articles/6079569/Arizona/Council-approves-landuse-change-rezoning-for-Cochise-College-Foundation-building-program-on-North-First-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079569-7d2ae2d4e70c1f60dbb057d8eb9dd807/orig.mp4?Expires=1770683131&Signature=jG-r7uZXPASFfK4X3ccEwAftqgzy7LrUEB8iCk3rQ-na5QeP4NCi-C4zVdklibo6SYZAEtXQ3FPkBek43hWwqKgSfMgrqKVs9SCB8vi9oeJ5XZqmU0mIFhdFMosO61XezsMyxwdm-TvdT4Jchz0iqA3yQtj-IvOY7Y~mpVV2C~VIBVbk2Vdvqo8jV6Xn2B6JcQkqHAUnCiemNH7eHU5z3wzyKaY7vwb63bSCfi2OitAKw~LYd~FWJPIAAvytjNbz7e-Ftjf4~6UHIHWOXRMqEQGR-kzh6Kf3dKSqn6kXdEbzyXCRaZ8r3wNY2sneO38a3ps59fnvnTMi-XcMEOL~iA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sierra Vista — The City Council on April 10 voted to amend the city’s future land‑use map and to adopt an ordinance rezoning two platted lots at 110 and 102 North First Street from general commercial to a manufactured‑home residence (MHR) district to support Cochise College Foundation’s residential construction training program.

City planning staff told council the two platted lots total about 0.38 acres, have been vacant for roughly a decade after removal of an earlier manufactured home, and border existing high‑density residential uses. Cochise College Foundation representatives said the college uses the site to teach single‑family construction across an academic year; proceeds from market‑rate home sales fund future builds and the program has completed several homes in Fry Town Site.

Staff said the requested future‑land‑use amendment to “high‑density residential” and the rezoning to MHR are consistent with the surrounding pattern, meet development‑code criteria and are not a spot zone. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval and staff recommended the council adopt the map amendment and ordinance.

Council members commented the change will facilitate neighborhood infill and help rebuild after previously burned or dilapidated structures in the area. The council approved both actions by voice vote with no stated opposition.","The council unanimously approved a general‑plan land‑use map amendment and a corresponding rezoning for two lots at 110–102 North First Street to allow the Cochise College Foundation to use the site for its residential construction training program.","actionData","errors"]
