environment, parks and recreation, health and wellness, education, arts and culture, and

Mr. Kozlowski said on March 19, 2021, 8,000 randomly selected households received

Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 8/13/2021

Mr. Kozlowski said the City had the opportunity to add three special topic questions: 1)
raising taxes, 2) proactive versus reactive code enforcement, and 3) need for a second
bridge. He said a majority of respondents were not in favor of raising taxes (10 percent);
however, 68 percent said they would need more information to provide an accurate
opinion. A majority of respondents (61 percent) thought code enforcement should be more
proactive, and 67 percent of respondents wanted to see a second bridge built spanning the
Bridgewater Channel.
He said in conclusion, the respondents said Lake Havasu City is a desirable and safe place
to live, services provided by Lake Havasu City are positive and on par with comparison
communities, and Lake Havasu City has great parks and natural spaces.
Mayor Sheehy thanked Mr. Kozlowski for coordinating the survey as it provides a
baseline for the City moving forward. He said the results are not surprising as the citizens
of Lake Havasu City have a true pioneering spirit, sense of community, and collectively
want to make our city a better place.

8.4 ID 21-2883 Adopt Ordinance No. 21-1259 Amending the Zoning Classification and District Boundary
for 2455, 2457, & 2459 Anita Avenue, Tract 2242, Block 1, Lots 13, 14, & 15, from
Limited Commercial District (C-1) to Single-Family Residential District (R-1) (Luke
Morris)
Planning Division Manager Luke Morris said this item is amending a zoning classification
for three vacant and undeveloped lots located on the corner of Avalon Avenue and Anita
Avenue. He said if approved the lots would need to be reconfigured to meet the minimum
requirements for the Single-Family Residential District (R-1) zoning district prior to any
building permits issued for the property. Mr. Morris said the current zoning is Limited
Commercial (C-1) and reviewed the surrounding zoning and General Plan designation. He
explained that when the city was originally platted, there were a number of areas scattered
throughout the city designated as commercial in residential neighborhoods that were
reclassified in 2016 from commercial node to residential. He added that this item was
heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission with a recommendation of approval 3-2.
Councilmember Dolan said he was in favor of rezoning these commercial nodes to allow
for better zoning use.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Mr. John Parrott, citizen, addressed the Council in favor of the rezone. He said as a local
realtor, he must disclose that he has no interest in this transaction. He said over the years
of selling commercial real estate he has never been approached by anyone interested in
purchasing commercial nodal property. It is an old 1960's zoning technique that Robert
McCulloch incorporated and while the commercial node at Jamaica Boulevard and
McCulloch Boulevard has been successful and personally thinks the commercial node at
Jamaica Boulevard and Chemehuevi Boulevard should remain commercial, the
commercial node at Anita Avenue and Avalon Avenue is never going to attract commercial
activity.
Councilmember Campbell asked what Mr. Parrott’s recommendation would be for the
existing commercial business in this commercial node, to which Mr. Parrott said it is
unfortunate; however, the public had the opportunity to vote with the adoption of the
2016 General Plan which reclassified this area as residential.
Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 8/13/2021
City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021
Mayor Sheehy said the adoption of the General Plan is an 18-month process with
stakeholder engagement, several public hearings, and vote. He said the General Plan
supports this rezone and the Council needs to look at these rezone requests on the merits
of each individual use.
Councilmember Moses asked if the City has received any objections from the existing
commercial business. Councilmember Campbell said the owner, who has contacted her
several times and also attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, is against
the rezone.
Councilmember Lane said over the last 50 years only one of the 10 properties has
developed. He said this rezone affects the three most eastern pieces that are closet to the
surrounding R-2 properties and leaves the six remaining pieces zoned as commercial.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing and added that
no written public comments were received.
Councilmember Moses agreed with Councilmember Lane and said he believes the City
can still maintain the integrity of the neighborhood however the hard decisions will come
down the road when the market dictates the remaining six lots.
Councilmember Moses moved to approve Ordinance No. 21-1259 amending the
zoning classification and district boundary for 2455, 2457, & 2459 Anita Avenue,
Tract 2242, Block 1, Lots 13, 14, & 15, from Limited Commercial District (C-1) to
Single-Family Residential (R-1) with the following condition:
1. The lots shall be combined or reconfigured to meet the R-1 standards prior to
application for a building permit.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Lane, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Vice Mayor Coke, Councilmember Dolan,
Councilmember Lane, Councilmember Lin and Councilmember
Moses
Nay: 1 - Councilmember Campbell
8.5 ID 21-2886 Adopt Ordinance No. 21-1260 Amending the Zoning Classification and District Boundary
for 2571 Via Palma, Tract 2271, Block 1, Lot 7 and a Portion of Golf Course Parcel
1-D, APN 105-14-036, from Limited Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf Course
District (GC) to Residential Estate District (R-E) (Luke Morris)
Mr. Morris said the subject property is located on Via Palma just off Acoma Boulevard
South. He said the applicant owns Lot #7 (2571 Via Palma) and is in the process of
purchasing a portion of the golf course adjacent to Lot #7 to combine the two properties
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 8/13/2021
City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021
and build a single-family home. Mr. Morris explained the history of the golf course and
reviewed the surrounding zoning. He said the applicant is requesting to rezone the
properties from Limited Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf-Course (GC) to
Residential Estate District (R-E). He reviewed the proposed parcel plat map and noted that
the parcel currently zoned GC does not meet the minimum standards for an R-E zone;
therefore, the two lots would have to be combined or reconfigured to meet the underlining
R-E zoning if approved. Mr. Morris added that this item was heard by the Planning and
Zoning Commission with a recommendation of approval 5-1.
Councilmember Campbell asked if this action is to rezone one or both properties, to which
Mr. Morris said the request is for both properties to be rezoned to R-E.
Mayor Sheehy said there is approximately 55-feet between the adjoining property and
proposed lot; therefore, if approved, an additional item would come before the Council at
the next meeting for an easement to help protect any view corridors for neighbors
impacted in this area.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
Mr. Wisdom asked about the zoning of the 55-feet between properties, to which Mayor
Sheehy replied that it is zoned GC to create a cart path, easement for water service, and
view corridor to protect those in the area. Mr. Wisdom asked about the current tee box, to
which Mayor Sheehy spoke on the proposed location of the tee box.
Mr. Diaz spoke on the view corridor and concerns regarding the narrowing of the fairways
as the golf course continues to sell portions of their property.
Mr. Wisdom asked about the elevation changes of the tee box, to which Mr. Morris said
from his understanding, the golf course intends to relocate the tee box and shorten that
hole from a Par 5 to a Par 4.
City Clerk Kelly Williams said one written public comment was received and read the
comment into the record as follows:
“Our name are Christy and John Burlison. We reside at 674 Acoma Blvd. S, and our lot
borders the 18th fairway on the East Course of the Lake Havasu City Golf Club. We are
writing this letter in support of the zoning change regarding the property Tract 2271, Block
1, Lot 7 and a portion of golf course parcel I-D, APN 105-14-036 at 2571 Via Palma from
R-3 and golf course to a residential estate district. This property is owned by DRs’
Theron and Summer Tilgner. They have been our neighbors since 2006 up until they sold
their home at 2561 Via Palma. WE do not have a problem with the zoning change that is
Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 8/13/2021
City Council Minutes - Final July 27, 2021
needed for them to build a new home at 2571 Via Palma. They were always respectful of
their neighbors, and they kept their property neat and well-manicured. WE feel their new
home will be an asset to the neighborhood. (Submitted by) Christy & John Burlison.”
Councilmember Moses asked about the elevation changes between the properties and
asked if combining the lots will create any issues with building height, to which Mr. Morris
said typically when lots are combined, one of the conditions of the lot combination is that
before any construction can be done they are required to submit a grading plan that will
determine the building height.
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Campbell asked what happens to the zoning if the golf course property is
not purchased by the applicant, which Mr. Morris explained that the golf course property
through the parcel plat map, once approved and recorded, is owned by the owner of Lot
#7 to be combined and developed as one piece of property. He said if the lots were not
combined, they would have to be reconfigured to meet the minimum lot size for the R-E.
Councilmember Moses moved to adopt Ordinance No. 21-1260 amending the
zoning classification and district boundary for 2571 Via Palma, Tract 2271, Block 1,
Lot 7 and a portion of Golf Course Parcel 1-D, APN 105-14-036, from Limited
Multiple-Family District (R-3) and Golf Course District (GC) to Residential Estate
District (R-E) with the following condition:
1. The properties shall be combined prior to application for a building permit.

Councilmember Lin and Councilmember Moses
Nay: 2 - Councilmember Campbell and Councilmember Lane

agreement with Sportsman Club to expand the property leased from the City at S.A.R.A.

and Recreation Advisory Board with a recommendation of approval.

hearing and added that no written public comments were received.

8.7 ID 21-2900 Award the Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement for Wastewater System
Improvements to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. ( Dan Sloan)
Assistant City Engineer Dan Sloan advised that this item is to award an agreement to
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., for planning, design and construction improvements to
the wastewater system. He said the City went through a Request for Qualification (RFQ)
process to solicit consultants for an Engineering Master Professional Services Agreement.
He said four firms responded to the RFQ and Jacobs Engineering was the highest-ranking
firm. Mr. Sloan reviewed several of the projects for design and construction under the
services agreement including the Park Avenue Lift Station Expansion, Island Treatment
Plant Effluent Pond, Mulberry Treatment Plant Odor Control, and the Vadose Injection
Well #4. Mr. Sloan said each project would be an individual task order to the Master
Professional Services Agreement; therefore, this item is not awarding any individual
project, only the term consultant contract.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing and added that no written public comments were received.
Councilmember Lane moved to award the Engineering Master Professional Services

receiving responses from five firms. He said the RFQ process allowed the City to select up
to three of the highest qualified firms and through the review process the City selected
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., and NCS Engineers. Mr. Sloan reviewed several of the
water system improvement projects including the Horizontal Collector Well Rehabilitation,
S-1C-24 Tank Replacement, and various water tank and booster station improvements.
Mr. Sloan added that each project would be an individual task order to the Master
Professional Services Agreement.
