Campbell Co. on Behalf of the Property Owner, Dub Campbell Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 5/11/2016 City Council Minutes - Final April 26, 2016 Senior Planner Stuart Schmeling advised that this item was brought before the Council in August of 2015. He said the 19.61 acre parcel is located just north of Horizon Six and south of Chemehuevi Wash. Mr. Schmeling noted that the applicant also owns the 40 acres south of this parcel that is within city limits. Mr. Schmeling said in August of 2015 staff also brought the introduction of the parcel to the east for possible annexation. He said City staff received a comment from Mr. Steven Latoski, Mohave County Engineer, who suggested that if the 19 acres above the property being discussed tonight were not annexed it would be difficult and expensive for Horizon Six Water to provide water service. Mr. Schmeling noted that Mr. Latoski did not suggest that he was against the annexation but for the City to consider annexing the northern property as well. Mr. Schmeling added that the property is zoned in the county as A-R; however, if annexed into the city it would become A-P, Agricultural/Preservation. He noted that given the lot configuration, he believes the applicant will request a rezone to R-E or R-1. Mr. Schmeling added that the Council received copies of the public utilities and services report which determined that there were no significant impacts financially to provide services to the area. Mr. Schmeling summarized the annexation process and added that this item would be brought back for adoption at a later date. Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. Mr. Chuck Vaughn addressed the Council and asked if the property is near sewer and if it would be required to connect to the sewer, to which Mr. Froslie answered that there is sewer directly adjacent to the property and it would be a requirement of development to connect to the sewer. Vice Mayor Callahan asked Ms. Garry if the sewer connection fees would remain the same, to which Ms. Garry replied yes. Councilmember Brister-McCoy said there were three properties shown in the presentation and asked if the Council was approving the annexation of only one property or all three, to which Mr. Schmeling answered that the Council is only acting on the 19.61 acre parcel. There being no further comments, Vice Mayor Callahan closed the public hearing. Councilmember Coke moved to introduce Ordinance No. 16-1150 to annex a 19.61 acre parcel, APN 10-05-062, located south of Chemehuevi Wash in to the Lake Havasu City limits, seconded by Councilmember Brister-McCoy, and carried by the following vote: Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 5/11/2016 City Council Minutes - Final April 26, 2016 Aye: 5 - Councilmember Barlow, Councilmember Brister-McCoy, Vice Mayor Callahan, Councilmember Coke and Councilmember Lin Absent: 2 - Mayor Nexsen and Councilmember Sheehy 8.3 ID 16-0684 Adopt Ordinance No. 16-1149 to Rezone Tract 2305, Block 2, Lot 18, 481 Lake Havasu Avenue North, from R-4, Multi-Family, to C-2, General Commercial District Mr. Schmeling advised that the property is located south of El Dorado Wash and on the west side of Lake Havasu Avenue just north of Pecos Villas II. He said the properties south and east are zoned R-4. Mr. Schmeling said the property to the north was rezoned to C-1, and noted that, as the General Plan Future Land Use Map suggests and as the demand for commercial lots increase, the entire Lake Havasu Avenue corridor will be rezoned to commercial. Vice Mayor Callahan opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
