Planning Division Manager Chris Gilbert advised that the subject property is a two-acre parcel located at 60 Retail Centre Boulevard. Mr. Gilbert said the surrounding properties to the south and east are commercial, with vacant land to the north and west. The subject Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 property was changed to Medium Density Residential (MDR) from Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) in 2022 to accommodate a Manufactured Home Park that was never constructed. Mr. Gilbert said the applicant requests to amend the General Plan from a minor amendment to CMU to facilitate a commercial gym development with outdoor amenities and landscaped parking area. He added that the Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their February 5, 2025, meeting and recommended approval by a vote of 7-0. Mr. Gilbert further added that the requested general plan amendment is consistent with surrounding land use designations. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Resolution No. 25-3820 approving a Minor General Plan Amendment revising the Future Land Use Map Designation for 60 Retail Centre Boulevard, Parcel B1 of Parcel Plat of Retail Centre-2, approximately 2.0 acres, from Medium Density Residential to Commercial Mixed Use, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz and Councilmember Moses Recused: 1 - Vice Mayor Lin 7.3 ID 25-4693 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1355 Approving the Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 60 Retail Centre Boulevard, Parcel B1 Parcel Plat of Retail Centre-2, Approximately 2.0 acres, from Manufactured Home District (RMH) to Mixed Use - General/Planned Development District (MU-G/PD), to Permit Construction of a 2-story Gymnasium with an Exterior Pool and Parking Areas (Chris Gilbert) Mr. Gilbert said the subject property is a two-acre property located at 60 Retail Centre Boulevard. He said the surrounding properties to the south and east are zoned commercial, with vacant land to the north and west. Mr. Gilbert said the applicant requests to rezone the property from RMH to Mixed Use-General/Planned Development District (MU-G/PD) to accommodate the gym development on this parcel and will be requesting the same zoning for the adjacent residential component (next item). He said this zone is a mixed-use zone that compliments the general commercial C-2 zoning surrounding the parcel and is in general conformance with the types of uses that would be permitted in the C-2 zone. Mr. Gilbert said the General Development Plan shows a 14,800-square footprint gymnasium building, with outdoor pool and parking area serving the development. Mr. Gilbert said the two access points are to the north and south off Retail Centre Boulevard and noted that the project will meet all development and building standards including landscaping and parking except for those standards amended by this Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 application. He said the applicant has requested the following exemptions from the development code outlined in the MU-G/PD district: 1. Maximum Building Height shall not exceed 35 feet in height above the approved maximum grade. This request aligns with the intended purpose of the area. 2. The 30% alternate material requirement of City Code Section 14.04.07.C.2 is not applicable to the east building façade facing Retail Centre Boulevard. The intent of this code section is to improve the appearance of commercial buildings from directly abutting right of ways. It is recognized that considerable expense went into the design of the building including a large amount of glass on the north and south facades, but the east façade that faces the public street needs to have an alternate material other than metal. 3. City Code Section 14.02.04.B.4.b is not applicable to this development. This request aligns with the intended purpose of the area. Mr. Gilbert showed pictures of the north and south building facades that will provide a variety of building elevation changes, popouts, and colors. He noted that the building incorporates a lot of glass and other features but does not meet the Retail Centre Boulevard facing façade requirement as submitted as the alternate proposed durable faux wood material does not total 30 percent. Mr. Gilbert said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 7-0 at their February 5, 2025, meeting; but did not recommend approval of the exterior material exception. He said the requested MU-G/PD rezone is a mixed-use district that contains many uses consistent with the general C-2 zoning permitted uses. Mr. Gilbert explained that the requested exceptions are consistent with design strategies in the area; however, the submitted exterior materials exception request does not meet the intent of the code as this section was recently amended to improve the appearance of commercial buildings facing public streets and the Planning and Zoning Commission did not recommend approval. Councilmember Campbell asked if the applicant had an example of the faux wood material that they were proposing and asked if a lot of the subject building would be below grade, to which Mr. Gilbert said that is correct as it is a two-story building with the lower level below grade and the upper level being visible. There was discussion regarding the north, west, and east building facades and what materials would be visible at street level. Mr. Rob Sampson, Selberg Associates, addressed the council and provided the following presentation of the Paradyme Gymnasium: Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 Advantages: • This development will create a unique and needed service which will bring more visitors to the North side of town on a daily basis • We are proposing to change the zoning for the street frontage from a Residential use to a Commercial use that will generate more tax revenue and create employment on this 2-acre parcel • Approximately 32,000 SF of High Energy Gymnasium that encourages young athletes to excel in sports • The gym has an aggressive plan to quickly expand membership • The development will have a Dubai inspired pool open to gym members and Barncave owners Planned Development: The Planned Development overlay will need to be applied to the MU-G zoning that will allow exceptions for the bulleted items below in addition to possible minor exceptions: • Maximum building height of 35’-0”. The maximum building height will be measured from the highest elevation point on Retail Centre Boulevard of 668’-0” • Exception to the requirement of alternate materials per development code section 14.04.07, C.2. • Exception to development standards requiring building frontage to be built no further than 20 feet from the front lot line Mr. Sampson showed pictures of the site plan, building facades, materials, elevations, and lot cross section. Mayor Sheehy said during the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing the applicant stated that they could conform to the development code as it is written and asked if they would still be able to have the alternate material on the part facing Retail Centre Boulevard, to which Mr. Sampson said technically they feel that they meet what faces Retail Centre Boulevard at the 30 percent. Councilmember Diaz asked if the gymnasium and pool would be open to the public, to which Mr. Sampson said yes. Councilmember Dolan asked if there were any concerns regarding the corrugated metals and reflection being near the airport, to which Mr. Sampson said the corrugated metal they would be using has a dull finish and is not standard metal. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen, addressed the council and encouraged the City Council to have the applicant meet the development code as written. Ms. Toy addressed the council and spoke concerning ADA compliance with new developments. She encouraged the City to go above the standard ADA requirements. Mr. Patrick Willett, citizen, addressed the council and questioned why the developer is not following the development code. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy said the request before the City Council has been analyzed by staff and does not meet the code. He said the City Council has a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission of approval with the exception of #2. Councilmember Campbell asked if the applicant would be willing to add more material to address the concerns regarding the facade, to which Mr. Sampson said yes. Councilmember Diaz moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25-1355 approving the Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 60 Retail Centre Boulevard, Parcel B1 of Parcel Plat of Retail Centre-2, from Manufactured Home District to Mixed Use - General/Planned Development District, to permit construction of a 2-story gymnasium with an exterior pool and parking areas excluding specific exception #2, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz and Councilmember Moses Recused: 1 - Vice Mayor Lin 7.4 ID 25-4694 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1356 Approving the Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 40 Retail Centre Boulevard, Parcel B2 of the Parcel Plat of Retail Centre-2, approximately 15.92 acres, from Manufactured Home District (RMH) to Mixed Use - General/Planned Development District (MU-G/PD), to Permit Construction of 97 Detached, Single Family Dwelling Units with Outdoor Recreation Improvements (Chris Gilbert) Mr. Gilbert said the subject property is a 15.92-acre parcel located at 40 Retail Centre Boulevard. The surrounding property to the south and east is commercial, with vacant land to the north, and state-owned land to the west that is also vacant. Mr. Gilbert said the subject property is currently zoned RMH, and the applicant is requesting to rezone to Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 MU-G/PD to accommodate a 97-unit single family detached development with outdoor recreation facilities on this parcel. Mr. Gilbert noted this is the same zoning request as the adjacent gymnasium component on a separate parcel to the east, and added that this is a mixed-use zone that compliments the C-2 zoning surrounding the parcel well and shares many uses that would be permitted in the C-2 zoning district but also adds a mixed-use component to utilize the already existing medium density residential land use category underlying the subject property that is consistent with the General Plan. Mr. Gilbert said the General Development Plan shows a 97-unit barn cave style development with privately owned lots with a Homeowners Association (HOA) to maintain the developments amenities including a detention basin, landscaping, driveways, back alleys, and some internal private streets. He noted that the project will meet all development standards except the applicant has requested one exception from the Lake Havasu City Development Code to permit the addition of the permitted use category of single family detached for this project. He added that the MU-G zoning includes some residential components such as multi-family residential but does not include single family detached, which the applicant is requesting that land use category be allowed for this project. He stated that this development is at a lower elevation than Retail Centre Boulevard and will not have good visibility due to topography and the gymnasium development will also act as a screen. Mr. Gilbert displayed a picture of the proposed residential building facades and noted that the building will incorporate a variety of elevation changes, materials, and colors to add interest to the project. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on February 5, 2025, with a vote of 7-0 including the requested exception. Mr. Gilbert added that the requested MU-G/PD, with the requested exception, is compatible with the surrounding area. Mr. Rob Sampson, Selberg Associates, addressed the council and provided the following presentation of the Paradyme Barn Caves: Advantages: • This development will create a unique residential product offering in Lake Havasu City. • We are proposing 97 high quality, upscale Barndominium units. • Why Barndominiums? Building on the success of the Paradyme Storage, many storage units’ owners have expressed interest in having a storage unit with a house attached in a “lock and leave” style community. • The development will have use of a Dubai inspired pool at the neighboring gym. • Lake Havasu City is Ground Zero for a vision that will be mass produced and sold nationally. Planned Development: Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 The Planned Development overlay will need to be applied to the MU-G zoning that will allow the exception for Single-Family Detached use in the MU-G zoning in addition to possible minor exceptions. Exterior Finishes: • Wood look fiber cement siding • Stucco • Glass • Painted exposed steel structure Mr. Sampson showed pictures of the materials and lot cross section. In response to Mayor Sheehy’s question, Mr. Gilbert said currently permitted in the MU-G district are the categories of dwelling co-housing, dwelling live work, dwelling multi-family, dwelling vacation rental. He noted that dwelling single-family detached, dwelling single-family attached, and dwelling two-family are currently not permitted in the MU-G district. Councilmember Dolan asked about the patio views from the units, to which Mr. Sampson explained that there would be multiple patios on each of the floorplans with different views. Councilmember Campbell asked what the distance was between the units for vehicles entering/exiting the garages, to which Mr. Sampson said approximately 60 feet. Councilmember Diaz asked if the development would have guest parking, to which Mr. Sampson said there would be guest parking at the end of the aisle ways and added that they are looking into additional areas for guest parking. Discussion ensued related to the parking requirements. Mr. Gilbert stated that the parking requirements meet the development code per dwelling unit, and added that staff has informed the applicant that during design review they will have to submit a plan that provides plenty of visitor parking. Councilmember Moses asked what the difference in density was between the current and proposed zoning, to which Mr. Gilbert said the current zoning is RMH and the underlying land use of medium density residential matches the land use category, which is why there is no requirement to change the General Plan for the underlying land use category. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 Mr. Torres addressed the council and expressed his concerns regarding the rectangular barn caves and visitor parking. There being no further comments, Mayor closed the public hearing. Mayor Sheehy asked if the light color of the proposed barn caves would cause any reflective issues, to which Mr. Sampson said the material used would be a stucco with a different textural component to it, but noted that they have not decided all the finishes yet and are willing to do darker colors if there are concerns with lighter finishes. Discussion ensued related to the materials and parking. Mr. Sampson noted that each unit would have an elevator and the HOA would only be allowing long-term rentals. Councilmember Dolan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25-1356 approving the Planned Development Rezone and General Development Plan for 40 Retail Centre Boulevard, Parcel B2 of the Parcel Plat of Retail Centre-2, from Manufactured Home District to Mixed Use - General/Planned Development District, to permit construction of 97 detached, single family dwelling units with outdoor recreation improvements, seconded by Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz and Councilmember Moses Recused: 1 - Vice Mayor Lin 7.5 ID 25-4688 Discussion and Action: Order Form and Master Software as a Service Agreement with Target Solutions, LLC, dba Vector Solutions, for Guardian Tracking Software (Chief Stirling) Police Captain Chad Williams advised that this item is to approve a three-year service agreement with Target Solutions, LLC, dba Vector Solutions for Guardian Tracking Software in the amount of $11,355 plus any applicable fees and taxes for year one and $10,355 for years two and three, for a total amount of $32,065 plus applicable taxes. Captain Williams explained that this software will serve as an essential tool for enhancing the department’s ability to monitor and support employees proactively. He said the software provides a comprehensive and automative system for tracking employee performance, behavior, and potential risk indicators in real-time. Captain Williams added that the system will allow supervisors to identify patterns, address concerns, and intervene early into employee wellness, behavior, and compliance before potential issues arise. Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 4/10/2025 City Council Minutes - Final March 11, 2025 Ms. Toy addressed the council and asked if this software would help corruption, to which Mayor Sheehy stated that this software allows for early detection for officer behavior which will allow supervisors to intervene sooner with remedial training and education if necessary. Mr. Torres addressed the council and expressed concerns that the software would create a buffer between the residents and the police force. Mr. Aaron Cothran, citizen, addressed the council and asked what oversight the city would have into this software, how the information would be stored, and if the information would be a public record. Captain Williams stated that the software is not AI driven and is information that the Police Department currently tracks for employee performance. Councilmember Diaz asked if the information is available through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, to which Captain Williams said the software allows staff to generate requests more efficiently and streamlines the process. There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing. Councilmember Diaz moved to approve the Order Form Schedule A and Master Software as a Service Agreement with Target Solutions Learning, LLC, dba Vector Solutions, for the purchase of Guardian Tracking software and authorize the City Manager to execute all agreement documentation on behalf of the City, seconded by Councilmember Dolan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz, Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin 7.6 ID 25-4702 Discussion and Action: Purchase of Repair Services for the Bombay Lift Station Pump from DXP Enterprises, Inc.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Steven Sinkey, citizen, addressed the council and said he is the President of the Lake Havasu Symphonic Winds (501c3 non-profit organization) and was surprised by the City’s new $51 banner hanging fee. Mr. Sinkey said as a non-profit organization, the Symphonic Winds donates funds to the Lake Havasu High School Band Boosters and Scholarship and requested the City Council consider rescinding this fee. Ms. Babara Arshenbough, citizen, addressed the council and expressed her concern regarding the new name of the Downtown Catalyst Project. She said a “common” means "center of town" and can only be a city or town. She said it is “common” not “commons” and in order to have a common, the name should be “Lake Havasu Common” not “Main Street Commons”. Mr. Robert Fischer, citizen, addressed the council concerning the traffic intersection at Lake Havasu Avenue and Kiowa Boulevard.
