The Yuma City Council on Sept. 3 approved a large set of routine items and several land‑use measures during its regular meeting.
Consent actions: The council approved a 19‑item motion consent agenda in two votes after Mayor Nichols recused himself from one item for a personal conflict. Councilmember Morales moved approval of the specific item MC2025‑129; that motion passed by voice vote. Councilmember Morris then moved to approve the remainder of the motion consent agenda; the council carried that motion by voice vote.
Resolution and ordinance adoptions: Council adopted three resolutions by roll call—Resolution R2025‑82 (Order of Improvements, Municipal Improvement District No. 130, La Vida Townhomes), Resolution R2025‑83 (Termination of Economic Development and Lease of Steel Capacity Agreement), and Resolution R2025‑86 (Development Agreement Juniper Tree Academy)—with all members voting aye. The council also adopted Ordinance O2025‑29 (vacation at 40 Eighth Street) by roll call.
Planning: After a public hearing and a staff presentation, the council adopted Resolution R2025‑84, a minor general‑plan amendment for a 2.78‑acre parcel at 1980 W. Colorado Street to change the land‑use designation to high‑density residential. Staff said the designation would allow up to 83 units with a potential development population of 149 persons; the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval. Councilmember Morris recused himself from this item and left the dais during the public hearing and vote.
