The subject property is the last remaining portion of the Sailing Hawks Development and was previously known as The Lofts at Sailing Hawks but is now moving forward under a new developer as Courdon Palms. Mr. Morris stated that the new developer plans to subdivide the property into 20 residential townhome lots with a private drive, drainage parcel, and some common area. He added that the final plat also shows a “Parcel B” on the property that will be subdivided in the future for garages. Mr. Morris said the Planning and Zoning Commission (“Commission”) approved the preliminary plat at their meeting on September 15, 2021. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Lane moved to approve the Final Plat for Courdon Palms, Tract 2410, a subdivision of Tract 2364, Lot 29, 1550 London Bridge Road, creating 20 residential townhome units, a private drive, drainage parcel, and common area in the Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD) District, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke, Vice Mayor Lane and Councilmember Dolan 6.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 7.1 ID 23-3761 Adopt Resolution No. 23-3664 Authorizing the Submission of an Application for Federal Fiscal Year 2023 Community Development Block Grant Funds and Authorizing all Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 Actions Necessary to Implement and Complete the Activities Outlined in the Application (Vijette Saari) Assistant to the City Manager Anthony Kozlowski advised that this item is to approve an application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to be used for owner-occupied housing rehabilitation for low-income homeowners within Lake Havasu City. Mr. Kozlowski said homeowners must meet income and ownership qualifications to apply for CDBG funding and applications are available on the City’s website at www.lhcaz.gov. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses moved to adopt Resolution No. 23-3664 authorizing the submission of an application for Federal Fiscal Year 2023 CDBG funds and authorizing all actions necessary to implement and complete the activities outlined in the application, seconded by Councilmember Coke, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke, Vice Mayor Lane and Councilmember Dolan 7.2 ID 23-3732 Adopt Resolution No. 23-3653 Approving a Minor General Plan Amendment Changing the Future Land Use Map Designation for 115 Park Avenue, APN 107-78-001, from Resort-Related to Resort-Related Mainland (Luke Morris) Mr. Morris advised that the subject property is located on the east side of Park Avenue, north of Mulberry Avenue near the Aquatic Center, with Highway 95 abutting the property to the rear. The property is vacant, undeveloped, and measures approximately 1.25-acres with a 50-foot utility easement at the rear. The subject property and properties to the east across Highway 95 and to the north and south are zoned Limited Commercial (C-1) with a mix of vacant land and developed commercial properties. The properties to the west across Park Avenue are zoned Island/Body Beach (I-B) with an apartment/condominium project in the permitting process and a hotel under construction. Mr. Morris said all surrounding lots on the west of Highway 95 have a General Plan designation of Resort-Related with a mix of vacant lots, office, hotel, and proposed multiple-family/apartment uses. He said the applicant’s letter of intent requests to amend the city’s General Plan Land Use Map to facilitate development of a mixed-use commercial/residential project on the property. The proposed development will include business and retail space on the ground floor with apartments above and a drive thru business on the same lot. He explained that the General Plan Land Use Map currently designates the property as Resort-Related which is appropriate for uses such as service, commercial, and retail to serve and support the tourist-oriented resort industry. The Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 requested Resort-Related Mainland designation allows primary uses such as medium-to-high density residential resort uses including apartments and secondary uses including incidental services, commercial, and retail, and encourages mixed-use development to occur in areas of Lake Havasu City that do not have direct access to the shoreline and provide a commercial element of not less than 10 percent. He said the applicant is requesting the Resort-Related Mainland designation because it allows for apartments whereas the current designation does not; therefore, the requested designation is appropriate because it allows mixed-use developments with commercial uses of not less than 10 percent on the property if it does not have direct access to the shoreline. Mr. Morris stated that the Commission heard this item at their meeting on April 5, 2023, and recommended approval of 6 to 1. Mr. Mychal Gorden, representative with Desert Land Group, addressed the council and spoke on the history on the property and development along Park Avenue over the last five years. He said there have been several recent developments in the area including the Keller Williams building, hotel component, and condominium project. He said the request before the council is consistent with these developments and continues the commercial application on the ground floor but adds the Resort-Related Mainland designation with residential component on the floors above. Councilmember Lin expressed concerns regarding traffic congestion in the area and asked if a traffic study had been conducted, to which Mr. Gorden said as part of the conditions of approval the developer is required to complete a traffic analysis in coordination with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Mr. Gorden addressed the access points and noted that Park Avenue has two points of ingress/egress off Highway 95 as well as connection through Rotary Park. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Don Wisdom, citizen, addressed the council and asked where the new Veterans Administration (VA) building will be located, to which Mr. Morris said the VA building is being constructed along the southern curve of Park Avenue. Ms. Bonnie Toy, citizen, addressed the council and asked how citizens were informed of these changes, to which Mayor Sheehy explained that citizens are informed of all zoning use changes through public notice processes and through community, Commission, and Council meetings. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Moses moved to adopt Resolution No. 23-3653 approving a minor General Plan amendment changing the Future Land Use Map designation for 115 Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 Park Avenue, APN 107-78-001, from Resort-Related to Resort-Related Mainland, seconded by Vice Mayor Lane, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke, Vice Mayor Lane and Councilmember Dolan Nay: 1 - Councilmember Lin 7.3 ID 23-3733 Adopt Ordinance No. 23-1308 Approving a Planned Development Rezone for 115 Park Avenue, APN 107-78-001, from Limited Commercial (C-1) District to Limited Commercial/Planned Development (C-1/PD) Allowing a Maximum Building Height Increase from 25 Feet to 30 Feet and Allowing Multiple-Family Residential Use (Luke Morris) Mr. Morris advised that the subject property is located on the east side of Park Avenue, north of Mulberry Avenue, near the Aquatic Center. He said the property is vacant, undeveloped, and measures approximately 1.25-acres, and is currently zoned Limited Commercial (C-1) with the surrounding properties zoned C-1 with a mix of vacant land and developed commercial lots. The properties to the west across Park Avenue are zoned Island/Body Beach (I-B) with an apartment/condominium project in the permitting process and a hotel under construction. Mr. Morris said the applicant’s letter of intent and General Development plan describes two buildings on the property: 1) a 2,600-square foot drive thru commercial building near Park Avenue, and 2) a mixed-use building with approximately 6,000-square feet of commercial uses on the ground floor and 24 apartment dwelling units on the floors above. Mr. Morris said the project is proposing reserved parking spaces for the apartments with the remaining parking spaces for the drive thru and commercial uses. The mixed-use building will be home to 24 multiple-family two-bedroom apartments consisting of 12-units on each of the second and third stories. Mr. Morris explained that multiple-family is not allowed in the C-1 zoning district; therefore, the applicant is requesting an exception to allow the multiple-family use which will have a similar appearance of a hotel which is allowed in the C-1 zoning district. Mr. Morris added that city staff does not anticipate the multiple-family use having a major impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Morris reviewed the proposed building elevations. He explained that the C-1 zoning district allows a maximum building height of 25-feet noting that the proposed drive thru building is well-below the maximum; however, the proposed mixed-use building has varied parapet heights up to a maximum of 30-feet above the property’s maximum grade, which is five feet higher than the 25-foot maximum building height; therefore, the applicant is requesting a five-foot building height exception. Mr. Morris reviewed the proposed parking for the project as follows: Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 Use: Sq. Ft./Units: Parking Factor: Required: Provided: Restaurant/ 2,668 Sq. Ft. 1 per 100 sq. ft. 26.7 18 Drive-thru Retail 5,982 Sq. Ft. 1 per 300 sq. ft. 19.9 20 2-Bedroom 24 Units 1.5 per unit with 36.0 includes 36 includes Residential 1 covered space/unit 24 covered 24 covered Units Residential Guest 1 Per each 5 Units 4.8 4 Parking TOTALS: 70* 75 *Required spaces reduced from 88 to 70 using Shared Parking and Bicycle Facility Parking Alternatives allowed per Section 14.04.02 of the Development Code. Mr. Morris said the applicant is making use of the parking alternatives allowed in the Development Code to reduce the required parking from 88 to 70 spaces. The shared parking allowance provides a 1.1 reduction factor for the combined restaurant and residential uses, resulting in a reduction of six parking spaces. He added that there is also a bicycle facility reduction that allows for 12 bicycle spaces in lieu of 12 vehicle parking spaces, resulting in a reduction of 12 parking spaces. He said the proposed number and types of parking spaces meet the minimum Development Code standards and no parking exceptions are being requested. He added that all residential parking is proposed to be gated and reserved. Mr. Morris said there is a vehicle travel aisle near the rear of the property that UniSource Electric (“UniSource”) has expressed concerns regarding any development in the easternmost 25-feet of the 50-foot public utility easement. He said the vehicle travel aisle is located within the eastern 25-foot area and UniSource has asked that this portion of the easement be left completely open allowing only landscape gravel at most. Mr. Morris explained that the city’s Development Code requires vehicle travel aisles to be improved with asphalt or concreate surfaces or an alternate paving material approved by the Zoning Administrator. The developer is proposing compacted decomposed granite as the paving material, which is not among the options approvable by the Zoning Administrator; therefore, a condition to allow compacted decomposed granite in the vehicle travel aisle has been included for consideration in the proposed conditions of approval. Mr. Morris noted that the developer and UniSource are working through potential options to allow paving for the vehicle travel aisle material in this area. Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 Mr. Morris reviewed the landscaping and signage plans. He said no landscaping or sign exceptions were being requested. He said all building permits, design review, and compliance with all other aspects of the building and Development Codes, including off-site improvements such as street paving, curb, gutter, and sidewalks would be required prior to development of the property. He noted that the Commission heard this request at their April 5, 2023, meeting and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 2. He said the two dissenting votes were concerned about the number of parking spaces and vehicle queuing for the drive thru use. Mr. Morris advised that should the council not approve this request they may want to reconsider the preceding request (Item 7.2) for a General Plan amendment. Councilmember Lin expressed concerns regarding the drive thru location and entrance. Discussion ensued related to the proposed ingress/egress, gated areas, parking, and cueing lanes for the drive thru. Councilmember Moses asked if the mixed-use of residential combined with commercial aspects affects the number of parking spaces, to which Mr. Morris explained that the number of parking spaces is based on each of the individual uses with a reduction factor to determine the total number of parking spaces for shared uses. Mr. Gorden addressed the council and spoke on the proposed parking, building height exception, and request for use of compacted decomposed granite. In addressing Councilmember Lin’s concerns regarding vehicular circulation, Mr. Gorden noted that as the exact users and design of the buildings come forward, the developer will need to work with engineering staff and coordinate with ADOT to determine if any striping or improvements are needed. He said the developer is using the proposed site plan to lock down the use and footprints; therefore, depending on the requirements of the design, there may be additional striping or circulation changes as part of the building permit process. Mr. Gorden added that the design team feels that the proposed plan will fulfill the needs of the potential use and provide circulation to the mixed-use building in the back. Councilmember Lin asked how many parking spaces were reserved for the commercial component, to which Mayor Sheehy said 20 spaces were provided for the retail component. Councilmember Lin expressed concern that 20 spaces was not sufficient for both retail customers and employees. Vice Mayor Lane said he was in favor of the project and mixed-use components but expressed concerns with the drive thru component being on the wrong side of the building Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 and their request for use of compacted decomposed granite in the vehicular aisle. He suggested the developer consider removing the proposed restaurant footprint allowing the retail/residential building to move forward which would remove the need for the decomposed granite but also provide more parking. Vice Mayor Lane said he supports bike activity and apartment complexes next to Rotary Park but expressed concerns with Rotary Park being used as an access point to the apartment complex. Mr. Gorden said in terms of Rotary Park he was not indicating that the park would be a primary access point. He explained that there are two points of access off Highway 95 with a loop that provides good circulation. He said the connection through Rotary Park could provide an additional emergency access point if needed. In addressing Vice Mayor Lane’s concerns regarding the durability of decomposed granite, Mr. Gorden explained that concrete-type materials could be added to keep the granite from washing away in a rain event. He said their intent is to have a permanent or solid paved surface but at this time the developer is requesting compacted decomposed granite as an allowable alternative. Mr. Gorden acknowledged that the footprint and setup for the drive thru is located on the wrong side of the building. He said the proposed footprint is trying to maximize what could potentially fit on the corner of the property and set up circulation for that, but he would need to speak with the owner and architect on the potential user and reasoning for the drive thru configuration. Vice Mayor Lane thought the developer was trying to fit too much on a small lot and reiterated that he would like to see the restaurant component and the compacted decomposed granite in the public utility easement removed from the project. Councilmember Moses said he supported the residential and commercial mixed-use in that area but thought the proposed restaurant component was too much for the size of the lot and it did not seem feasible. He said he would like to see the developer expand the overall mixed-use component allowing for more density. Councilmember Dolan expressed concerns regarding the layout of the proposed restaurant. He suggested the developer come back with more information on the future use of the building and traffic analysis. Councilmember Campbell expressed concerns regarding the layout of the proposed restaurant, drive thru lanes, and parking. She added that it is common to see compacted decomposed granite in public utility easements and spoke on the need for more bike lanes and parking in the city. Discussion ensued related to the previous action that approved the minor General Plan amendment and whether council would need to consider rescinding that motion should Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 they not approve the proposed Planned Development rezone. Mayor Sheehy asked what the intended use was for the apartments, to which Mr. Gorden replied that the intended use was not for short-term vacation rentals, but apartment use which would be longer rental periods. Mayor Sheehy asked if they would be condominiums, to which Mr. Gorden replied no. Mayor Sheehy also expressed concerns regarding the proposed restaurant building being too much for the property. Mr. Gorden advised that he would meet with the owner and architect to bring something back to council that was more feasible and palatable. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Mr. Kelly Lutz, citizen, addressed the council and thanked the applicant for bringing this project forward as it is a great idea but agreed with several of the councilmembers’ concerns. He said he understands the applicant wanting to maximize profit with the restaurant, but by eliminating the restaurant the applicant could increase the number of apartments, retail, and parking. Ms. Toy addressed the council with concerns regarding the number of proposed handicapped parking spaces. Mayor Sheehy stated that the number of parking spaces meets the requirements in the City Code. There was discussion regarding the timeframes of the application, notification, posting, and hearing process should the council deny the application or take no action. The council also discussed whether the item could be approved with the removal of the drive thru component. Mayor Sheehy noted that the City Attorney previously advised that the result of that would create two land use actions on one property. Mr. Gorden said he personally likes the option, if it is supported by council, of approving the larger portion of the project (retail and residential component) and not approving the stand-alone building footprint. He said this would result in additional parking and circulation that would be required to meet the code, and once the right use or configuration of the restaurant was identified, they then could come back with a PD amendment request which is the same timeframe as starting over but at least the owner would have entitlement on the portion of the project that the council seems to support and would allow that portion to start moving down the process of design and working towards getting something built. Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 Mayor Sheehy asked Mr. Gorden if he felt comfortable that the owner would be willing to take the risk that the council would not support anything other than the mixed-use building, to which Mr. Gorden stated that would be the same risk as starting over and bringing it back and having the Commission or the Council not support whatever reconfiguration was there. He said removing the drive thru component allows the main portion of the project to move forward. Vice Mayor Lane said he was concerned with the council substantially changing the project that was brought forward as there is a process and the proposed project was what was presented to the public and the Commission. Councilmember Moses said he was also opposed to approving the project with the proposed changes. Councilmember Dolan said he could support approving the project with the removal of the restaurant building increasing the number of parking spaces. Councilmember Campbell agreed with Councilmember Dolan. Mayor Sheehy said based on council discussion the two options he is hearing is to entertain a motion to remove the restaurant building from the plan or entertain no motion which would result in no action and the applicant would have to go back through the application process. Councilmember Lin said she was opposed to approving the plan with the removal of the restaurant building. Mr. Gorden stated that if the council could not support removing the restaurant building he would prefer the project be tabled rather than denied so they can bring back a revised plan sooner than six months. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy asked if there was any consideration from the council to go back and reconsider the previous item (Item 7.2). Ms. Garry said in accordance with City Code, the council can request reconsideration of a motion during the meeting or a councilmember can request reconsideration of a motion within seven days following the original action by filing a notice with the City Clerk. There was no consideration from the council to reconsider the previous item. No action was taken on Item 7.3. Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 5/24/2023 City Council Minutes - Final May 9, 2023 7.4 ID 23-3758 Approve the Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Vermeer Manufacturing Company dba Vermeer Corporation, and Purchase of a 2023 VX50 Vactor Trailer and Tank (Greg Froslie) Transportation and Maintenance Superintendent Bill Young requested approval of a VX50 Vactor Trailer and Tank with Vermeer Manufacturing Company dba Vermeer Corporation utilizing a cooperative agreement in the amount of $102,261.34. Mr. Young explained that the unit will assist the Water Department with the high demand of vactor needs. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Vice Mayor Lane moved to approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the cooperative purchase agreement with Vermeer Manufacturing Company dba Vermeer Corporation, utilizing the Sourcewell Contract 110421-VRM with a termination date of December 25, 2025, and authorize City staff to exercise the option to renew for an additional one-year term, and purchase a 2023 VX50-500 Vactor Trailer and Tank in the amount of $102,261.34, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Lin, Councilmember Moses, Councilmember Coke, Vice Mayor Lane and Councilmember Dolan 8. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Dave Stackhouse, citizen, addressed the council regarding the city’s parking restrictions for oversized vehicles. He asked the council to consider allowing semi-trucks to park in residential areas. Mr. Wisdom addressed the council requesting an update on the Downtown Catalyst Project and added that he recently toured the new Municipal Courthouse building. Mr. Steve Irwin, citizen, addressed the council regarding The Village project located on Victoria Farms Road. Mr. Irwin said he is a full-time resident at the Havasu RV Resort and while the Havasu RV Resort is not against the project, they have concerns with the traffic, intersection, and ingress/egress from the development. He asked that the council require the developer to do a traffic study to ensure traffic safety. Ms. Toy addressed the council and thanked the city for allowing local businesses to sponsor free swim at the Aquatic Center over the summer. 9.
