The City of Yuma Old Town District is intended to be a retail, business, and government center with a special emphasis on tourism and historic preservation, due to the unique qualities present in the Old Town District that set it apart from all other districts in the City of Yuma. In this district, commercial establishments are intended to serve the residents of the City of Yuma, as well as visitors to the area.

The priority of this district is to establish and support a mixture of commercial, cultural, governmental, and residential uses that will help to ensure a lively pedestrian-oriented district. The Old Town District applies to those historic downtown business and government centers and surrounding support uses established during the early history of the City of Yuma.

Chapter 154-185 of the City of Yuma Zoning code can provide detail on the permitted principal, accessory and conditional uses, as well as the current development standards.
