Summary

Prescott Valley council voted unanimously to approve ZMC 25-002 and ZMC 25-003, preserving RS-4 zoning for Lots 961 and 962 but amending prior conditions to allow duplex development consistent with earlier general-plan changes.

The Prescott Valley Town Council on Aug. 28 approved two zone-map amendments, ZMC 25-002 and ZMC 25-003, affecting Robert Road duplex lots (Lot 961 and Lot 962, Presque Valley Unit 3). Both ordinances passed unanimously; each ordinance states it will be effective 30 days after passage.

Why it matters: The actions preserve RS-4 (residential services) zoning while amending prior conditions tied to Ordinance No. 489 so the applicant can proceed with a duplex product in a location the staff described as compatible with the community-commercial general-plan designation previously approved for the area.

Staff presentation and findings: Planner Britney Cleveland told the council the parcels are just north of the floodplain and near existing multifamily development. The town had previously approved a general-plan amendment for a duplex project and found the proposed use compatible. The Planning and Zoning Commission had sought transitional zoning in a prior review; staff said the current application and conditions address that commission direction and that the duplex product would be a “missing middle” housing type identified in the town’s housing assessment.

Votes and ordinance details: The council read and passed Ordinance No. 2025-959 (ZMC 25-002) and Ordinance No. 2025-960 (ZMC 25-003) by unanimous electronic vote. Both ordinances preserve RS-4 zoning while amending original conditions applied to Lots 961 and 962 and specify they become effective 30 days after passage and approval.

Discussion vs. decision: Council members asked staff clarifying questions about stipulations the Planning and Zoning Commission added; staff confirmed the stipulations (including a wall extension) were included in the ordinance language. No appeals or public comments were offered during the public hearings on these items.

Next steps: With the ordinances approved, applicants may proceed under the adjusted conditions; staff will implement and monitor any required stipulations.
