7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
7.1 ID 25-4880 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1366 Approving the Planned Development
Rezone and General Development Plan of 2415 & 2425 Kiowa Boulevard N, Tract
2182, Block 8, Lots 1 & 2, from Limited Commercial/North Kiowa Overlay
(C-1/NK-O) District to Limited Commercial/North Kiowa Overlay Planned Development
(C-1/NK-OPD) District to Increase the Allowed Outdoor Storage Height from 6-Feet to
10-Feet and to Allow the Outdoor Storage Area to Exceed the Area of the Primary
Building (Trevor Kearns)
City Planner Trevor Kearns advised that the subject property measures approximately
Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 8/28/2025
City Council Minutes - Final August 12, 2025
0.76 acres and is located on Kiowa Boulevard North between Catalina Drive and Hillview
Drive. He said Lot 2 is currently developed with Havasu Turf Pros existing operation and
Lot 1 is undeveloped, the abutting property to the east is zoned Limited Commercial/North
Kiowa Overlay (C-1/NK-OPD) and is currently vacant, and the properties to the north
and west are zoned Limited Multi-Family (R-3) and developed with a mixture of
two-family residential and multi-family residential uses. The General Plan designates the
areas as Commercial Mixed-Use. Mr. Kearns stated that the applicant’s letter of intent
requests to allow outdoor storage materials to be stored 10-feet high and allow the outdoor
storage area to exceed the area of the primary structure. He said the applicant would also
be improving and expanding the parking-in-common area.
Mr. Kearns reviewed the following code compliance conditions:
1. The development of the property shall substantially match the General
Development Plan;
2. The two properties shall be combined into one property prior to Design
Review approval;
3. The perimeter fence shall be 8-foot-tall concrete masonry units’ wall;
4. The existing driveway located on Lot 2, shall be shared future access for properties
to the east; and
5. Building permits and Design Review for compliance with City Codes are required
prior to development of the property.
He added that the Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 16, 2025,
meeting and recommended approval.
Councilmember Campbell expressed concerns regarding consistency in the commercial
nodes and was in favor of protecting the original commercial nodes and
parking-in-common areas.
Mr. Kearns explained that the building on the developed property was built in the 1970’s
and is currently legal non-conforming. He said their current parking-in-common plan is the
current plan that was adopted in the 1990’s which has an existing condition that prevents
them from developing the front parking lot of their building; however, on the lot that they
plan on extending their storage, they would be developing the parking-in-common as the
plan appears today.
Discussion ensued related to the existing driveway for shared future access for the
properties to the east, and the 8-foot perimeter fence/wall.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.

7.2 ID 25-4886 Discussion and Action: Ordinance No. 25-1367 Approving a Rezone of 720 Enterprise
Drive (Tract 141, Amended Block 7, Lot 1), 1977 Acoma Boulevard W (Tract 144,
Amended Block 2, Lot 4), 2007 and 2013 Chaparral Drive (Tract 2199, Block 1, Lots 1
Through 3), 15.29 Acres, From General Commercial District (C-2), Light Industrial
District (LI), and Limited Multiple Family District (R-3) to Public Lands and Facilities
District (P-1) (Chris Gilbert)
Planning Division Manager Chris Gilbert advised that the subject property is 15.29 acres,
consisting of multiple parcels located at 720 Enterprise Drive, 1977 Acoma Boulevard
West, and 2013 Chaparral Drive, that is owned/used by Mohave College (previously
Mohave Community College) for their educational activities. He said the subject property
consists of five separate pieces of land, most with buildings, that are spread across multiple
zoning districts, including: Limited Multiple Family District (R-3), Light Industrial District
(LI) and General Commercial District (C-2), each with different development standards.
Mr. Gilbert said combining all five properties into a single Public Lands and Facilities
District (P-1) zone would permit better decision making on college improvements in the
future with consistent development standards. He added that the requested zoning is in
conformance with the underlying land use categories and the P-1 zoning district would be
consistent with the underlying Commercial Mixed-Use (CMU) and P-1 land use
categories. He added that the Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their
July 16, 2025, meeting and recommended approval. He noted that this item had no
conditions for code compliance as it is a standard rezone request and not a planned
development request.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Mayor Sheehy thanked Mohave College and their team for working with the City, and
said, if approved, would bring more clarity and certainty to the neighborhood in the future.
Councilmember Coke moved to adopt Ordinance 25-1367 approving a rezone of 720

7.3 ID 25-4889 Discussion and Action: Resolution No. 25-3867 Granting a Variance from City Code
Section 13.16.050 Regarding Lot Planning for 2142 Rudolph Drive (Tract 136, Block 7,
Lot 25 and 28A) and 2130 Burke Drive (Tract 136, Block 7, Lot 24), 1.4 Acres, to
Permit the Creation of a Through Lot (Chris Gilbert)
Mr. Gilbert advised that this item is requesting a subdivision code variance to permit the
creation of a through lot. He said the subject property is 1.4 acres, consisting of three
combined parcels located at 2142 Rudolph Drive (existing house) and 2130 Burke Drive
(vacant lot/former flag lot), that are consistent with the surrounding neighborhood zoned
Residential Estate (R-E) district. He explained that the intent of the subdivision code is to
maintain open space corridors down the side and rear lot lines and to permit corner lots to
have circle drives or vehicular driveway access from both adjacent streets. He noted that
the intent is not to have lots passing through blocks between streets blocking open space
corridors thus not having a rear building setback. He said the original lot layout of this
block contains two flag lots that sit in the middle of a ring of bordering lots on all sides
which creates a configuration that allows the flag lots to be tied to surrounding lots and still
maintain the open space corridor rear building setback intent of the subdivision code. Mr.
Gilbert said due to its uniqueness, a variance application was filed to combine the
remaining flag lot with the current existing combined parcel.
Mr. Gilbert reviewed the following code compliance conditions:
1. The lot combination shall be completed and recorded with Mohave County prior to
the City’s issuance of any permits or approvals related to the new lot and this
Resolution;
2. Maximum grade, based upon the Lot Combination Survey attached as Exhibit A,
is assigned at 88.00’ for the original boundary area of Lot 24;
3. Side yard setbacks for the original boundary area of Lot 24 shall be 10 feet on the
two side yards; and
4. Maximum building height permitted shall be 30 feet above the maximum grade of
88.00’ for the original boundary area of Lot 24.
Discussion ensued related to the maximum building height permitted in R-E.
Councilmember Diaz asked if this request required a neighborhood meeting, to which Mr.
Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 8/28/2025
City Council Minutes - Final August 12, 2025
Gilbert said a neighborhood meeting was not required because it was not subject to the
Development Code.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Diaz moved to adopt Resolution 25-3867 granting a variance from
City Code Section 13.16.050 regarding lot planning for 2142 Rudolph Drive and
2130 Burke Drive to permit the creation of a through lot, seconded by
Councilmember Moses, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember
Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz,
Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin
7.4 ID 25-4877 Discussion and Action: Professional Services Agreement for Arc Flash Study &
Implementation Project with Electrical Safety Specialists (Bobbie Kimelton)
Human Resources Director Bobbie Kimelton advised that this item is requesting approval
of a Professional Services Agreement for the Arc Flash Study & Implementation Project
with Electrical Safety Specialists to bring the City into compliance with the required
regulations. She explained that the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the
National Electric Code (NEC) require that all electric cabinets have clear labeling and
identification of possible hazards and protection boundaries, as well as the required level of
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when working on or around an electrical cabinet.
Capital Program Manager Jason Hart gave a brief overview of the Arc Flash Study &
Implementation Project. He said the project scope includes four tasks: Task 1 - on-site
data collection at 150 plus sites spread across the city including the Airport, City Hall, Fire
Department, Parks and Recreation, Police Department, Lift Stations, Booster Stations,
etc., Task 2 - system modeling of single line drawings for each, Task 3 - label creation and
application, and Task 4 - delivery of reports & single line drawings. Mr. Hart reviewed the
contract costs and said the project, if approved, is expected to be completed in May 2026.
Councilmember Diaz asked if this study is required due to a new regulation, to which Dr.
Kimelton said it is not a new regulation. She explained that the City conducted the last
study approximately five years ago and is required to update the study every three years.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilmember Moses moved to approve the Professional Services Agreement with
Engineering Safety Specialists for the Arc Flash Study & Implementation Project in
the amount of $224,200, seconded by Councilmember Coke, and carried by the

7.5 ID 25-4891 Discussion and Action: Professional Services Agreement for Collection of Lake Havasu
City Municipal Airport Landing Fees with Vector Airport Systems, LLC (Robert C.
Kane)
Airport Manager Robert Kane advised that this item is requesting approval of a
Professional Services Agreement with Vector Airport Systems, LLC, for the collection of
landing fees. Mr. Kane explained that the landing fee for commercial/cargo (S-250) has
been in place for many years (dating back to 2011) with a series of fee increases beginning
in 2016 from $1.00 to $1.50 in 2024. He said one of the key elements to the landing fee
is that it is based on max landing gross weight for large aircraft over 12,500 pounds. He
stated that Vector Airport Systems, LLC (“Vector”), is a billing service that services
airports and utilizes a technology based on an Automatic Dependent Surveillance –
Broadcast (ADS-B) system that allows the tracking of aircraft. Mr. Kane noted that one of
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant assurances is that the airport establishes
reasonable rates and fees to make the airport as self-sustaining as possible within the
operating boundaries of the airport system. He said this is an effort to get a collection
mechanism established with a possible fee increase in the Fall through the normal Master
Fee Schedule adjustment cycle to be more consistent with airports like Lake Havasu City.
He explained that through modeling they estimated (over the last 12 months and at the
current rate of $1.50) approximately $18,000, in additional revenue that could be collected
that could go towards airport maintenance and preservation of the facility.
Councilmember Dolan asked if Empire Airlines and Ameriflight were included in the
modeling estimate ($18,000) or if it is in addition to what the city already collects from
them, to which Mr. Kane said they were excluded from those numbers and would be an
additional $4,000.
Councilmember Dolan spoke concerning this being a safety issue and not a billing issue.
He said the company is using the ADS-B system, that was designed for safety, for billing
and to collect fees. He said he was not in favor of using this company to collect landing
fees at the airport.
Councilmember Diaz said he agreed with Councilmember Dolan. He added that it was his
understanding that there was current legislation trying to ban using aircraft safety
equipment for fee collecting. Mr. Kane stated that City was aware of the legislation being
considered.
Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 8/28/2025
City Council Minutes - Final August 12, 2025
Councilmember Campbell agreed with Councilmembers Dolan and Diaz. She also
expressed concerns with the proposed increase in landing fees in the Fall.
Mayor Sheehy opened the public hearing.
The following individuals addressed the City Council in opposition to the collection of
landing fees with Vector Airport Systems, LLC:
• Mr. Bradley Pinnell, citizen
• Mr. Brian Schultz, citizen
• Mr. Emiliano Torres, citizen
• Mr. Ray Gillespie, citizen
• Ms. Bonny Toy, citizen
• Mr. Dan Chain, citizen
• Mr. Randy Peterson, citizen
• Mr. Gabriel Suarez, citizen
• Mr. Rob Holty, citizen
• Mr. Dave Guthmueller, citizen
• Mr. Richard Davidson, citizen
• Ms. Sandra Davidson, citizen
• Mr. Galen Marks, citizen
There being no further comments, Mayor Sheehy closed the public hearing.
Mayor Sheehy thanked Councilmember Dolan for his insight on this item and thanked the
airport users for their testimony. He said he believes the City Council needs to have two
separate conversations – the first being a safety component that the city should not impact
from a fee collection standpoint, and the second being if fees are important to the airport
operation the City Council can have that discussion during the Master Fee Schedule in the
future. Mayor Sheehy said he could not support moving forward with Vector.
Discussion ensued related to the most recent Airport Talk at the airport. Mr. Kane said
they held their last Airport Talk in May and it was mentioned that the City would be
looking at ways this year to increase revenue.
Councilmember Dolan moved to not approve the Professional Services Agreement
for collection of landing fees with Vector Airport Systems, LLC, seconded by
Councilmember Diaz, and carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 - Mayor Sheehy, Councilmember Campbell, Councilmember
Coke, Councilmember Dolan, Councilmember Diaz,
Councilmember Moses and Vice Mayor Lin

Mr. Cummings explained the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score as it relates to the
condition of pavement and traffic volume. Public Works Deputy Director Bill Young
added that the PCI considers condition factors such as raveling, cracking, and patching.

8. CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Ms. Toy addressed the council and spoke concerning the lack of crosswalks and signage
for pedestrians crossing McCulloch Boulevard to get to Wheeler Park.
Ms. Maureen DeJulio, citizen, addressed the council concerning a code violation letter she
received regarding her watercraft being parked on a vacant lot she owns across the street
from her house. She said according to Code Enforcement, a person can park their
vehicles/watercraft on an empty lot that they own that is next door (or co-joined) to their
residence because it has a structure, but because her lot is not co-joined to her residence
she is not treated with the same fairness, and does not get to entertain the same privileges
or civil rights.
Mr. Randy Kozak, Marine Corps League Detachment 757, addressed the council and
Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 8/28/2025

invited the City Council to attend a Marine Corps League Memorial Service on Tuesday,
August 26, 2025.
Mr. Bob Barrett, citizen, addressed the council regarding the impending stoplight at the
intersection of Jamaica Boulevard and McCulloch Boulevard. He said a lighted stop sign

Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) study does not identify this intersection as a
priority.
