All lands located within the incorporated limits of the City of Eloy are hereby zoned and organized into a coordinated set of Residential and Non-Residential Zoning Districts and Overlay Districts. These districts are established to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the Eloy General Plan and to conserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare. Residential Zoning Districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of neighborhoods that allow a range of compatible densities to accommodate the desired physical character of the City. Nonresidential Districts uses are also allowed to improve the overall quality of life by providing a convenience of services and goods for Eloy residents and provide public facilities necessary to create a healthy and safe environment in which to live.

A. The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this chapter shall be designated upon the official "Zoning Map of the City of Eloy". The Zoning Map, together with all data shown on the map and all amendments hereafter adopted, is by reference made a part of this chapter.
B. The Official Zoning Map of the City of Eloy, dated and signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, is hereby adopted and shall be located in the Office of the City Zoning Administrator with a copy retained on file with the City Clerk. All future changes adopted by the Eloy City Council to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Eloy shall be clearly documented by the City Zoning Administrator on the Official Zoning Map adopted on the date and year set forth herein.
1. Any changes to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered an amendment to the Official Zoning Map and filed in accordance with section 21-6-6 of this chapter.
2. The Official Zoning Map may, from time to time, be republished to delineate any change of zoning approved pursuant to section 21-6-6 of this chapter or any other amendments thereto. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
A. Where uncertainty exists concerning the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street or alley center lines, such center lines shall be construed to be the district boundary.
2. Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow property lines, such property lines shall be construed to be the district boundary.
3. Where zoning district boundaries divide a lot or parcel, the zoning boundary shall be determined by using the scale of the Official Zoning Map, unless indicated by legal description with distance and bearing or other dimension. Such zoning district boundary shall be considered a "lot line" as defined herein. If the area created by such lot line does not comply with the designated district lot area and lot width requirements, zoning for the entire parcel shall be that which is applied to the largest portion of the property.
4. Where a public street or alley, railroad, or utility right-of- way is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the right-of-way will be included within the zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned right-of-way or easement.
5. Where a zoning district boundary divides a lot or parcel, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by legal description with distance and bearing or other dimension, shall be determined by scaling the Official Zoning Map by the City Zoning Administrator.
6. Where a lack of clarity or disagreement concerning the exact location of a zoning district line exists, determination shall lie with the interpretation of the City Zoning Administrator as defined under section 21-5-5 of this chapter. The determination of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of section 21-6-2.11, "Appeals", of this chapter. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
Residential Zoning Districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of neighborhoods that allow for a range of compatible densities to accommodate the desired physical character of the City. These districts primarily accommodate residential uses; however, some nonresidential uses are also allowed to provide other uses necessary to support a healthy, sustainable and safe environment. These uses also include associated, limited nonresidential uses that are required by law such as religious, educational and recreational facilities. The Residential Districts are described in section 21-2-2.2 of this section 21-2-2. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
A. Rural Residential (RR-20): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide areas for large, more intense agricultural activities, ranching land uses, and their related activities, in appropriate locations with buffering to mitigate the negative impacts upon, or from, such operations. The minimum lot size is twenty (20) acres. The intent is to protect areas that exhibit productive agricultural soils and existing or desired ranching uses from incompatible land uses and urban encroachment. This district is appropriate where very low density residential development is desired, where minimal public facilities and services are programmed or anticipated, and in aviation overflight areas. The RR-20 Zoning District may also act as a holding zone to prevent the premature conversion of rural lands to suburban or urban uses and until there exists adequate public facilities and an appropriate development plan.
B. Rural Residential (RR-5): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide for, and conserve, existing rural, ranch, and very low density residential uses in their present or desired character, and to foster orderly growth. The minimum lot size is five (5) acres. The intent of this district is to allow for areas where small ranching and semirural residential uses can be maintained without imposing/receiving conflicts from higher density development. This district is appropriate where low density development is desired, as a buffer for these uses from the more intense agricultural uses of the RR-20 District, and in aviation overflight areas.
C. Rural Residential (RR-2.5): The purpose of this Rural Residential Zoning District is to provide an open, low-density country residential atmosphere on large lots. Lots are typically larger than in the developed portion of the City and can include area(s) for large livestock for non-commercial purposes. The minimum lot size is two and one-half (2.5) acres. This district is compatible with the Estate Residential Districts and can also serve as a buffer and transition to the higher density Residential Districts.
D. Estate Residential (R1-54): The purpose of this Estate Residential District is to provide an appropriate zoning district for the transition of newly annexed property into the City of Eloy, so as to equitably accommodate a comparable zoning district affording similar densities and intensities of residential land uses that were prescribed under the former County zoning district designation. The minimum lot size is fifty four thousand four hundred fifty (54,450) square feet (approximately 1.25 acres). This district is compatible with Rural Residential and Estate Residential Zoning Districts, but could also be utilized as a holding district until future zoning requests that are consistent with the General Plan land use designation(s) can be established. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
E. Estate Residential (R1-43): The purpose of this Estate Residential Zoning District is to foster orderly growth in the transitional or fringe areas, whereby large lot residential uses would be most appropriate. The minimum lot size is forty three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) square feet (1.0 acre). The intent of this district is to provide a pastoral character and home sites that create an open environment and to provide a transition land use buffer between the rural land uses and single-family residential land uses. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
F. Single-Family Residential (R1-12): The purpose of this Single- Family Residential District is to provide a transition from rural residential and/or estate development to more suburban residential neighborhoods. Development in this district is generally comprised of moderate sized-lot (minimum 12,000 square feet in area) single-family detached homes with more conventional residential amenities such as sidewalks, public utility services and other improvements. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
G. Single-Family Residential (R1-6): The purpose of this Single- Family Residential Zoning District is to provide smaller lot sizes than other single-family districts while maintaining a traditional single-family neighborhood character. Development in this district should also include non-motorized linkages to community and neighborhood services such as schools, parks and shopping areas. All public utilities and facilities must be in place at the time of first dwelling unit occupancy. Certain essential and complementary uses are permitted under residential use standards which ensure their compatibility with the character of the district. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
H. Small Lot Residential (R-2): The purpose of this Small Lot Residential Zoning District is to provide for neighborhoods consisting of a mixture of single-family detached and attached homes including small-lot residential dwellings such as duplexes, townhomes, and/or patio homes together with schools, parks, trails and other supportive public facilities. Anticipated project densities may range between 6 - 10 dwelling units per acre (gross) for single family detached units and from 6 - 12 dwelling units per acre (gross) for all other residential uses, with heights limited to two (2) stories. This district may serve as a transition between Multi-Family Residential Districts and Single-Family Residential Districts. Single-family homes in this district shall not include manufactured homes unless approved in conjunction with a separate/additional Overlay Zoning District.
I. Multiple Family Residential (R-3): The purpose of this Multiple Family Residential Zoning District is to allow for higher densities to provide a balance of housing opportunities in the community. Anticipated project densities may range between 10 - 24 dwelling units per acre (gross), with typical heights limited to three (3) stories. This district is most appropriate in the downtown area, adjacent to large shopping or employment centers, or within a large PAD. The district requires direct connection to higher volume roadways and all public utilities. The maximum density is twenty four (24) dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
