7. PUBLIC HEARING
ID 18-1647 Request to Approve Conditional Use Permit #18-00300003 to Allow a
Residential Care Facility in the R-3 (Limited Multi-Family) District to Allow
Up to 10 Residents
Mr. Schmeling thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative
including some of the following key points:
• The subject property is located at 2842 McCulloch Blvd N.
• Single family (approx. 2500 sq. ft.) home built in an R-3 (Multi-Family) district zone.
• Typical residential home.
• Revised floor plan submitted late and provided to Commission members.
• Request is for up to 10 residents in this residential care facility.
Donald Morris, applicant, gave a presentation about his facility care business and
expressed the need for more affordable home care in Lake Havasu.
Mr. Hardy asked Mr. Morris about the wall in the garage from the previous floorplan.
Mr. Morris stated there is no wall.
Mr. Bergen questioned the outdoor parking space. Mr. Morris stated 4 vehicles can be
parked in the main parking lot, and 3 vehicles on Tempest Lane.
Mrs. Ballard, asked if the 10 beds include night time staff, to which Mr. Morris stated the
staff will work in three 8 hour shifts, so the beds are not included for the staff.
Mr. Gorden stated the previous concern for this item was the parking and the number of
beds. When asked about parking, Mr. Morris stated that about 1 to 3 cars will be present
at any given time. In regards to number of beds, Mr. Morris stated the other facility has
five bedrooms, two baths, and eight residents and this is larger home.
Mr. Still asked if the facility will be regulated by Arizona State or Health requirements, to
which Mr. Morris affirmed.
Chairman Harris asked if Mr. Schmeling could address the parking requirements. Mr.
Schmeling stated the code does not have any parking requirements for this type of use. It
is considered similar or same as a multi-family type use.
Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing, hearing none, he closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Schmeling stated that Staff finds the proposed conditional use permit meets all the
requirements set forth in 14.05.04 G. Based on the findings, the Development Review

Mr. Gorden and Mr. Still recused themselves from this item.
Mr. Schmeling thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative
including some of the following key points:
• The Commission recently approved the rezone and subdivision of Phase I, and the
rezone of Phase II.

• Area includes 151 lots.
Mr. Mychal Gorden, applicant, stated this is the next two neighborhoods brought before
the Commission for the Havasu Riviera. The rezone approved by the Commission in June
was approved by Council last week. While the lots are zoned residential multi-family, most
of these lots are pretty good sized single family lots. In Parcel 2, a typical lot is about
10,000 to 15,000 square feet. Parcel 3 are mix-sized set up for patio home type products.
Setbacks will vary throughout covenants (CC&Rs).

set forth in Title 13. Based on the findings, the Development Review Committee
