Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends approval of land use action ID #21-2875, a preliminary commercial condominium subdivision plat for Sunset Storage Lofts, at 1050 Aviation Drive, Tract 2290, Block 2, Lot 15, for 18 storage units in two buildings in the LI district. Mr. Nelson made a motion to approve land use action ID #21-2875, [a preliminary commercial condominium subdivision plat for Sunset Storage Lofts, at 1050 Aviation Drive, Tract 2290, Block 2, Lot 15, for 18 storage units in two buildings in the Light Industrial District (LI)] with Staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ballard, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2876 A Request for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Lago Villas Subdivision, 2080 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2268, Block 10, Lot 11, Creating a 9-Unit Residential Subdivision in the Residential Uptown McCulloch Main Street District (R-UMS). Lake Havasu City Page 2 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Property (.58 acre) located at the NW corner of Swanson Ave. and Mulberry Ave. • The complex will have one access from Mulberry Avenue. • The property is bordered by multi-family developments to the south and west, with vacant lots to the east across Mulberry Avenue. • Commercial development is to the north across Swanson Avenue. • The property is zoned Residential Uptown McCulloch Main Street District (R-UMS), which allows multi-family residential as a permitted use. • MU-UMS zoning to N across Swanson Ave • The proposed plat will allow the nine units to be individually owned as part of an association for the common portions of the site. • The project includes: • 9 residential units with attached garages. • Parcel A, common area. • Parcel B, common area and pool. • The building setbacks for the lots will be based on their individual footprint and meet the minimum building separation requirements. • Building plans have not been submitted. • The project will go through Design Review and building permits will be required prior to development. • Since there will be no public streets on the property, a development agreement will be required with the final plat submittal outlining the developer’s responsibilities for the City’s water and sewer lines within the subdivision. • The project will have a property owners association to manage and maintain the private drives and improvements. Lee Johnson, APL Surveying stated this is a 9 lot subdivision with two common areas- common drive and pool/clubhouse. Mr. Diaz asked what the building square footage will be. Mr. Johnson stated the lots sizes range from 1500 to 1800 square feet; however, owners are still in the process of working out the floorplans so no actual square footage of units is available at this time. When Mr. Diaz asked about parking spaces, Mr. Johnson stated all units will have their own individual single car garages. Mr. Diaz mentioned this due to the parking issues on Swanson Avenue. Mr. Johnson stated design review of buildings will be handled by City staff. Chairman Harris asked Mr. Morris what the parking requirements are for this type of project, specifically guest parking. Mr. Morris stated parking requirements in Residential UMS is one covered parking space per unit, taken care of by single car garages. This zoning district does not require additional parking. The idea of this zoning is to encourage pedestrians in orientation with the downtown area. Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 When asked about the ingress, egress and width by Ms. Ballard, Mr. Johnson stated it will be a single driveway and Parcel A will be common ingress/egress and emergency vehicle Parcel that will allow everyone to access all the units. The main drive is 36-foot wide drive off Mulberry Ave and 24 at narrow point, minimum width of two-way traffic. Mr. McGowan asked if guest parking is allowed off of Mulberry, on that corner going west. Mr. Johnson stated he believes that whole section is not painted red so parking will be allowed. When asked if parking will be allowed on Swanson, Mr. Johnson stated no parking allowed due to the improvements on Swanson and the City will be performing street widening on Mulberry to bring it to go up to code as well. Chairman Harris clarified that the Code does not require any guest parking on a project like this. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends approval of land use action ID #21-2876, a preliminary subdivision plat for Lago Villas Subdivision, 2080 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2268, Block 10, Lot 11, creating a 9-unit residential subdivision in the Residential Uptown McCulloch Main Street District (R-UMS) with the following condition: 1. Provide a Development Agreement for review with the final plat submittal that includes city sewer and water services. For the benefit of the new Commissioners, Mr. Nelson gave a brief review on overlay districts. This is a Residential Upper McCulloch overlay district which allows higher density. In 2016, the City created overlays that supersede the older zoning to compliment the downtown district. With planning and zoning it is difficult to follow the zoning with regard to the 42-foot height restriction and 10-foot sidewalk requirements. This project does not go with that concept although it is nice to see someone that wants to purchase and develop the land. As a Commissioner, you do not want to hold anyone back from developing land but on the same scenario, we are running out of land. Mr. Nelson encouraged the new commissioners on the seat to go through the General Plan and overlay districts and become familiar with what is allowed in the districts. Mr. McGowan made a motion to approve land use action ID #21-2876, a preliminary subdivision plat for Lago Villas Subdivision, 2080 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2268, Block 10, Lot 11, creating a 9-unit residential subdivision in the Residential Uptown McCulloch Main Street District (R-UMS) and all of attachments [with the following condition: 1. Provide a Development Agreement for review with the final plat submittal that includes city sewer and water services.] The motion was seconded by Mr. Diaz and carried by the following vote: Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Aye: 5 - Harris, Diaz, McGowan, Nelson and Medley Nay: 2 - Ballard and Bergen ID 21-2877 A Request for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Skyview Estates Subdivision, 1776 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2304, Block 1, Lots 7 & 8, Creating an 8-Unit Residential Subdivision in the Residential Commercial and Health District (R-CHD). Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Property (1.10-acre) located on south side of Swanson Avenue near Capri Lane. • The complex will have one access off Swanson Avenue to Lake Havasu Avenue. • The property is bordered by multi-family developments to the south, east and west. • The Mohave County Library is to the north across Swanson Avenue. • The property is zoned Residential Commercial and Health District (R-CHD). • The R-CHD District allows multi-family residential as a permitted use. • The proposed plat will allow the eight units to be individually owned as part of an association for the common portions of the site. • The project includes: • 8 residential units with attached garages • Parcel A, driveway/common area • Building plans have not been submitted. • The project will go through Design Review and building permits will be required prior to development. • Since there will be no public streets on the property, a development agreement will be required with the final plat submittal outlining the developer’s responsibilities for the City’s water and sewer lines within the subdivision. • The project will have a property owners association to manage and maintain the private drives and improvements. • Area has newer zoning districts that has an emphasis on higher density in building and pedestrian connections to the street. Mr. McGowan asked if the garage will be included in each lot. Mr. Morris stated that yes, the garages will be facing the internal driveway, there will be none facing Swanson Avenue. Mr. McGowan asked if there is enough room between the buildings getting in and out of the garage. Mr. Morris stated there needs to be a minimum of 24 feet for maneuvering and it appears the plan indicates adequate room for driveways. Ms. Ballard asked if there is any public parking on Swanson Avenue. Mr. Morris said he does not recall if this area has public parking, possibly further up Swanson Avenue. Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Mr. Morris asked that the Commission keep in mind that this is a different zoning district than the previous item. This zoning district requires the applicant to provide covered parking space and then, based on number of bedrooms in each unit, additional parking and guest parking. When this goes through Design Review, Staff will ensure it meets parking requirement. Lee Johnson, APL Surveying/applicant addressed questions asked with the following: • Project has 4 different floorplans – Two of them facing Swanson Ave. • All floorplans looked at are multi story - lower garage and living • Units on Swanson, garages will be accessed through the back. • Front of the units to look like the front of a residential (patio & entrance). • Rear units will have larger RV garages and two car underneath with living on top. • Applied an R-1 setback to the front of buildings- all units will be sitting additional 20-feet back to allow additional parking in front of the garages/units. • Worked with UniSource for electrical rerouting. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Hearing none, Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends approval of land use action ID #21-2877, a preliminary subdivision plat for Skyview Estates Subdivision, 1776 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2304, Block 1, Lots 7 & 8, creating an 8-unit residential subdivision in the Residential Commercial and Health District (R-CHD) with the following condition: 1. Provide a Development Agreement for review with the final plat submittal that includes city sewer and water services. Ms. Ballard made a motion to approve land use action ID #21-2877, a preliminary subdivision plat for Skyview Estates Subdivision, 1776 Swanson Avenue, Tract 2304, Block 1, Lots 7 & 8, creating an 8-unit residential subdivision in the Residential Commercial and Health District (R-CHD) [with the following condition: 1. Provide a Development Agreement for review with the final plat submittal that includes city sewer and water services.] The motion was seconded by Mr. Nelson and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2881 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for 2781 & 2791 Maricopa Avenue, Tract 2211, Block 1, Lots 12 & 13, to Allow a New 70-Foot Communication Monopole Within the Existing UNS Electric Havasu Substation in the Commercial Southgate District (C-SGD) Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 including some of the following key points: • The .95-acre subject property, owned by Unisource Electric Co. is located on the northwest corner of Maricopa Avenue and Alley 3. • A wash abuts the alley to the east of the site. • The properties to the west and east, across the wash, are zoned C-SGD and developed with commercial uses • The properties to the north, across the alley, are zoned Residential Southgate District (R-SGD) and developed as residential uses. [Example of monopole requested and site plan was shown on screen.] • While it is not a typical cell tower application, it meets the definition of a Telecommunications Facility, and as such, requires a Conditional Use Permit. • The applicant is asking for the new tower to bring the site up to current industry standards, which include the proposed communications monopole with two microwave dishes. • This site is one of ten in Mohave County that they are in the process of updating. • The communications will be strictly for their internal use and will communicate with their site on Crossman Peak. • Existing towers are 65 feet tall. • Requested tower is a 70-foot monopole. • The site plan is included in the Application Packet and shows the new pole will be located in the northwest portion of the property inside the existing fenced area. • The request meets the requirements of Development Code Section 14.05.04(G)(4) necessary for the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Chairman Harris asked if this was an internal use for microwave communications. Mr. Morris deferred the response to the applicant who is participating via Zoom. Leslie Carpenter, applicant with UniSource Energy Services and Oscar Vazques, Project Engineer present via Zoom. Ms. Carpenter responded to Chairman Harris’ question stating this is actually a radio that Unisource is updating to industry standards for radio communications for their crew. Mr. Diaz asked if this will replace any existing towers or an addition to. Ms. Carpenter stated it will be in addition to, currently do not have a communications tower there on site as they only have a very old analog system. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Hearing none, Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends approval of Item No. 21-2881, for a Conditional Use Permit for 2781 & Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 2791 Maricopa Avenue, Tract 2211, Block 1, Lots 12 & 13, to allow a new 70-foot communication monopole within the existing UNS Electric Havasu Substation in the C-SGD as shown on the attached site plan. Mr. Nelson made a motion to approve Item No. 21-2881, [for a Conditional Use Permit for 2781 & 2791 Maricopa Avenue, Tract 2211, Block 1, Lots 12 & 13, to allow a new 70-foot communication monopole within the existing UNS Electric Havasu Substation in the Commercial Southgate District (C-SGD) as shown on the attached site plan] with Staff's recommendations. The motion was seconded by Mr. McGowan, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2880 A Request for a Zone Change for 2860 Jamaica Boulevard S., Tract 2271, Block 10, Lots 8, 9, & 10, from Limited Commercial (C-1) to Limited Multiple-Family (R-3) Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Subject property, 1.03 acres, corner of Jamaica Blvd. S. and Alley 41. • Alley also abuts the east (rear) property line. • The property generally slopes downward about 13 feet from northeast to southwest. • Properties to the east, south and west are zoned R-3 and developed as multiple- family uses. • Property to the north is zoned C-1 and is home to a dental practice. • On January 28, 2017, City Council approved a rezone from C-1 to R-3 for Lots 12-14 in this block. • Those lots are currently being developed as multiple-family units. • When the City was originally subdivided and zoned, a number of neighborhood commercial nodes were created throughout the City. • Common planning practice in late 60’s early 70’s was to create neighborhoods with a small centrally located commercial nodes to address neighborhood commercial needs. The idea was for these commercial nodes to provide local business services within the neighborhoods. • Over the last fifty years, demand for these neighborhood commercial nodes has not been realized in Lake Havasu City and most of these commercial lots have remained undeveloped. • The 2016 General Plan update re-classified many of these previous commercial nodes from Commercial to Residential and supports these areas be rezoned and integrated into the neighborhoods as residential uses. • Several lots in this same situation throughout the City have already been rezoned for residential uses and staff anticipates the trend will continue as demand for residential properties increase. Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 • Several similar rezones of commercial nodes rezoned to residential were mentioned. Mr. Bergen asked if Mr. Morris could restate what the small property to the north is. Mr. Morris stated it is existing commercial use, dentist office. Mr. Bergen had a concern for the commercial property between the two residential properties. Mr. Morris stated this is one of those areas in transition between the two general plans going from commercial to residential. This is a developed left over parcel legal conforming under the old general plan. It has all the zoning development rights to C-1. Chairman Harris clarified that this is a reduction in zoning from C-1 to R-3 Mr. Morris stated you can say that it is a down zoning, less intense use. Frank Ortiz, applicant and property owner, stated he is proposing an 11-unit complex composed of a 3-plex and 4 duplexes. Each one is approximately 1100 square feet with two bedrooms/two car garage. He notices that there is a concern with parking. Mr. Otiz has met with staff and will have additional parking in compliance with city code. One entrance from Jamaica Blvd. Mr. Ortiz has met with City Staff for a preapplication meeting and believes he meets all the requirements. Mr. Morris stated this is not a Planned Development Rezone so a rezone is not contingent upon the proposed site plan. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Nancy Campbell, stated that this little commercial node is one of the ones that she would like to preserve. Yes, the City has always needed more residential and this plan is from 2016; however, in the last five years, the City has had massive developments within the community and around that property. The other commercial nodes are near alot of commercial and makes a lot of sense. This area could be potential neighborhood concept that we had planned prior to the 2016 development. She understands the importance of housing need but we also need commercial to make this community move forward. Ilan Shamas, owner of dental office to the north of the subject property, participating via Zoom, expressed his concerns with this rezone with the following: • No other no commercial areas in that side of town . • Alot of housing developments in the area. • Great aspect of the office is that people constantly refer to it being the only commercial office in their neighborhood - big factor for people coming to the office. • 9-unit development will be 10-feet from his office window. • People’s back windows will be looking directly into his property • On north side, being a good neighbor did not oppose to that development. Now have a Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 13-foot drop off on the north side of the property, making it a safety hazard and no longer accessible. Literally drops down 8 feet now from his property. • Current codes are going to require the same flattening of this proposed development as presented so his property will be undermined in both safety and accessibility, as well as view, aesthetics, and accessibility. • Need more commercial on that side of town. • A lot of housing going up on Cherry Tree but there is nothing on that side of town for commercial. We have to travel 10-15 minutes to the other side of town. Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for land use action No. 21-2880, for a zone change for 2860 Jamaica Boulevard S., Tract 2271, Block 10, Lots 8, 9, & 10, from Limited Commercial (C-1) to Limited Multiple-Family (R-3). Item will go to the City Council on 8-10-2021. Mr. Nelson requested Mr. Morris bring up the Use Table for C-1 and stated there are commercial nodes throughout the city. Some of the commercial nodes have 15-foot wide lots with a 70-foot deep parking in common. You cannot do anything with a 15 or 20-foot wide commercial lot. The different pieces that were pointed out earlier, on Arizona , Chemehuevi, and Anita, those commercial nodes, unless someone buys them all and marries all the lots, it is very challenging to do anything with them. This piece is different. It is a large lot in an area where some commercial is thriving - Chevron and a church. Also some C-2 property there- could do storage or automotive. There is future commercial in this zoning. Mr. Nelson feels that this piece is large enough and could be used for more medical, or alot of things that fit the zoning and right there between the golf course area and McCulloch. A lot of residents in the area that can use something that can fit the commercial space. I am for multi-family, we need it, but this piece is more difficult to let go. Chairman Harris asked if this property has parking in common. Mr. Morris stated yes, there is parking in common; however, a rezone to residential will eliminate parking in common. Chairman Harris stated that in the Southgate district, when a parcel is removed out of parking in common, the surrounding property owners have to agree to that. Why is this not the case. Mr. Morris stated it is not required when the property is being rezoned from commercial to residential, as parking in common is no longer useable. Mr. Morris stated the existing dental office meets the parking in common requirements, with parking in the front and rear. Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Chairman Harris asked Mr. Morris to address Mr. Shamas’ comment that by rezoning this property, it will eliminate access to the back of this property. Mr. Morris stated there is an alley in the back, it has access to parking spaces to the rear. Mr. Morris’ understanding is that when they developed the multiple family projects, they cut the slope pretty steeply and he was concerned about access from that side. Possibly Mr. Shamas could elaborate if he has that opportunity. Mr. Diaz stated that some areas do make sense to reclassify. This one has some viable commercial property uses. After the motion, prior to voting, Chairman Harris stated that in a previous meeting the Commission had the same issue on Anita. This is a viable location as Mr. Nelson and Mr. Diaz have stated and hate to see this go. We already have viable commercial properties close by and thinks removing this property from commercial node is probably a mistake. Mr. Bergen stated he agrees and that with the commercial property to the north, vehicle access pretty much all around it, should stay what it is right now. After the motion vote, Mr. Morris stated as a notice to the Commission, this item will go to City Council with a 7 to 0 recommendation against approval. Chairman Harris stated to the applicant that the issue is not over at this point, the Planning Commission has voted no, the City Council can vote otherwise at that time. Mr. McGowan made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve land use action No. 21-2880, for a zone change for 2860 Jamaica Boulevard S., Tract 2271, Block 10, Lots 8, 9, & 10, from Limited Commercial (C-1) to Limited Multiple-Family (R-3). The motion was seconded by Ms. Medley, and failed with the following vote: Nay: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2878 A Request for a Zone Change to Amend the Zoning Classification and District Boundary of PD 07-00200007 Removing and Rezoning 6535, 6545, 6555, & 6565 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, from C-2/PD to a New C-2/PD, Including the Following Development Standards: 1. Prohibiting the Allowable Land Use of Self-Storage/Mini Storage (Storage Units), 2. Allowing a Maximum Building Height of 36 Feet, and 3. Buildings Facing Highway 95 Shall Have Architectural Character that Avoids Large, Unadorned Facades and Monotonous Repetition of Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Unrelated or Inappropriate Detail. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • This request is for 4 lots on London Bridge Rd. and HWY 95 N. • The Lake Havasu City Airport is across Highway 95. • Existing storage units and some under construction on Showplace Ave to the West. • Current zoning is C-2/PD (General Commercial Planned Development District). • The original Havasu Auto Complex General Development Plan Planned Development is 37.38 acres. • In 2007, the Auto Complex was approved as indicated in the Adopted General Development Plan. • The original planned development included the allowance of a 36-foot building height to accommodate the proposed Toyota Dealership. The architectural features of the Toyota building exceeded 30 feet and similar architectural features were anticipated on the remaining properties. • Lots 7 through 10 originally approved as car dealerships, are requested to be removed from the current C-2/PD for a Car Dealership and rezoned to a new C-2/PD zoning allowing any uses within the C-2 district except for storage units. • In 2017, the City Council approved a Planned Development (PD) amendment to allow development of storage units on Lots 6, 11, and 12. • Height exception requested to allow up to 36-foot building height, as opposed to 25 feet, and adding a condition that buildings facing Highway 95 shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. • Lots 4 and 5 are vacant. • If rezoned as requested, the allowed uses for Lots 7 through 10 will be based on the current C-2 district requirements with the following revised development standards: 1. Prohibiting the allowable land use of self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 2. Allowing a maximum building height of 36 feet, whereas C-2 allows 25 feet maximum building height, and 3. The buildings facing Highway 95 shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. Mr. McGowan stated that the Commission heard this item in a previous meeting and was concerned about the view from entrance into town. Mr. Morris stated that the Commission did hear part of this request a few months ago in a previous item. When that request went on to the City Council, the Council was not comfortable with the potential of storage units being that visible to Highway 95 so it did not get support and was not voted on to be approved. That request went away and now the applicant is coming back and breaking the request into two different parts. Lots 7 through 10 in this request and Lots 4 & 5 in the next request. Applicant is requesting any C-2 uses, except storage units in Lots Lake Havasu City Page 12 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 7-10. This site plan goes away so they do not have to do car lots with this general site plan; however, they do need to meet the development code or any conditions placed here today. Mr. Nelson stated that the applicant is trying to resubmit the same thing, addressing all comments. There will be no storage units, which is what the Commission was really worried about. Also addressing the façade. Mr. McGowan’s main concern is that whatever is built is appealing to the eye from street. Mr. McGowan asked if a car wash can be built in a C-2. Mr. Nelson and Chairman Harris stated yes. Chairman Harris stated the Commission cannot prohibit specific uses. The storage unit issue has been addressed. The applicant has added restrictions and we do not have a planned submittal. Mr. Nelson stated that when the car wash was not passed, it was because it was in a planned development, just like this, but it was all C-1 commercial offices, etc. and the Commission did not want people that were investing in commercial offices with a loud car wash right next to them. This is C-2, so you can have automotive and alot of uses. Mr. Diaz stated that the last request was approved by the Zoning Commission and the applicant is now addressing the concerns of that last item to not put storage units and going above and beyond with not putting a repetitive facade. Mr. Nelson provided the history of storage units in this area. Council had same opinion. Chairman Harris stated that bottom line, the Planning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council. The Council had some issues of their own and now there is a resubmittal of those suggestions before us. Mrs. Garry, City Attorney, clarified to the Commission that when the original request came before the Commission a couple of months ago, it included Lots 4 and 5, which have now been separated from this item. Those were the lots that everyone had concerns towards so those have been removed from this item. Mr. McGowan stated he does not have a site plan so he has no idea of what will be built on this property. Mr. Nelson stated the applicant will have to go through the design review process. Mychal Gorden, applicant /Desert Land Group stated that after the original submittal to the Planning Commission and City Council, the applicant stepped back, talked to owners, and took a new approach to try and appease those conditions and concerns that everyone had. That included breaking this item into two requests. First request is about the Lake Havasu City Page 13 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 properties that do front Highway 95. With these properties, because we are asking to remove storage, we are also asking to remove the underlying original site plan/PD. Current site plan is difficult for someone to build. Park Avenue was a similar scenario and once the PD was removed on those lots, it freed up the properties for more activity both from sale and development standpoint. Goal is to remove the underlying site plan, keep some original conditions in place, and add architecture details to make sure what is built meets design review/staff review. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Nancy Campbell stated the City needs revenues to move the city forward via sales tax revenue. Storage units do not bring in revenues for roads/public safety/infrastructure. City is concerned about doing new design plan - multi-use concept - allow people to store vehicles. Thank you for all the work. The community is changing and learning. Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for Land Use Action No. 21-2878, a zone change to amend the zoning classification and district boundary of PD 07-00200007 removing and rezoning 6535, 6545, 6555, & 6565 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, from C-2/PD to a new C-2/PD, including the following development standards: 1. Prohibiting the allowable land use of self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 2. Allowing a maximum building height of 36 feet, whereas C-2 allows 25 feet maximum building height, and 3. The buildings facing Highway 95 shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. Item will go to the City Council on 8-10-2021. Ms. Ballard made a motion to [recommend that the City Council] approve Land Use Action No. 21-2878, a zone change to amend the zoning classification and district boundary of PD 07-00200007 removing and rezoning 6535, 6545, 6555, & 6565 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, from C-2/PD to a new C-2/PD, including the following development standards: 1. Prohibiting the allowable land use of self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 2. Allowing a maximum building height of 36 feet, and 3. Buildings facing Highway 95 shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. The motion was seconded by Mr. McGowan, and carried by the following vote: Lake Havasu City Page 14 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2879 A Request for a Zone Change to Amend the Zoning Classification and District Boundary of PD 07-00200007 Removing and Rezoning 6520 & 6530 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 4 & 5, from C-2/PD to a New C-2/PD, as Follows: For Proposed Lots 4B and 5B: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, and 2. Allow all C-2 Uses. For Proposed Lot 5A: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, 2. Allow all C-2 Uses Except Self-Storage/Mini Storage (Storage Units), 3. Allow a Maximum Building Height of 36 Feet, and 4. Buildings Facing Highway 95 Shall Have Architectural Character that Avoids Large, Unadorned Facades and Monotonous Repetition of Unrelated or Inappropriate Detail. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Subject property near London Bridge Rd. and HWY 95 N. on Showplace Ave. • The City limits abut the property to the west. • The Lake Havasu City Airport is across Highway 95. • Current zoning is C-2/PD (General Commercial Planned Development District). • In 2007, the Havasu Auto Complex General Development Plan for the 37.38-acre portion was approved as indicated in the Adopted General Development Plan. • In May 2021, the subject lots were included as part of a larger request to be removed from the current PD to create a new PD to allow all C-2 uses on Lots 4 & 5. • The City Council did not approve that requested zone change for the properties because they were not comfortable with the potential of storage units on these Lots. • Now resubmitting item splitting out Lots 4B & 5B from Lots 7-10. • Subject property is all of Lot 5 and just a portion of Lot 4. • A portion of Lot 4 and all of Lot 5 are requested to be removed from the current C-2/PD for a Car Dealership and rezoned to a new C-2/PD. • The proposed Development Plan calls for dividing Lot 5 into Lots 5A and 5B. • It also shows splitting Lot 4 and adding Lot 4B to Lot 5B. • Lot 4A would remain and is not included as part of this request. • For Proposed Lots 4B and 5B (approx. 4.21 acres, 328’ x 560’): 1. Adopt the submitted development plan, and 2. Allow all C-2 Uses. • For Proposed Lot 5A (approx. 1.05 acres): Lake Havasu City Page 15 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 1. Adopt the submitted development plan, 2. Allow all C-2 uses except self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 3. Allow a maximum building height of 36 feet, whereas C-2 allows 25 feet maximum building height, and 4. The buildings facing Highway 95 shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. • Lot 5A will provide enhanced and sufficient buffering for any proposed uses on Lots 4B/5B. Chairman Harris asked what happens to Lot 4A. Mr. Morris stated Lot 4A will - remains as is under the existing Planned Development. Mr. Diaz asked if Lot 5A will be standalone businesses proposed against the storage units or is that the office building for the storage units. Mr. Morris stated his understanding is that they will be independent businesses not associated with the storage units. The applicant is present and may have an answer to the question. Mr. Nelson asked what the setback is from the property line to Building A on Lots 4B&5B on the new development plan. Mr. Morris stated it depends on the construction type of the building. The setbacks on a C-2 zoning district is zero. Per zoning code, one can build up to the property line; however, Building and Fire Code requirements would have to be adhered to. Mychal Gorden, applicant/Desert Land Group stated the concerns over storage and visibility from the Commission and Council were heard. Mr. Gorden understands that the concept of storage is not a bad things, just the visibility and appearance. Working with land owners, took little over an acre and set up Lot 5A as a separate business with some self imposed conditions. Requesting all C-2 uses, except for storage. Will enhance architectural features/elements, and provide landscape buffer. Storage component tucked in the back of the project. Proposal for Lot 4A, original request was to abandon PD and allow for al C-2 uses, reason for that at the time was this potential sliver coming off of 4A and now attached to this site plan. In the new condition, Lot 5A would be buffer and Lot 4A would stay in place per the existing PD, still potential extension of an auto dealership or autoplex and provide the buffer in the future for storage as well. Mr. Nelson stated the request is asking for lots 4 and 5. Mr. Gorden said only Lot 4B, balance remains as Lot 4A under existing PD in place. Mr. Nelson stated his main goal is protecting the façade of Lot 4A. Mrs. Garry clarified that the lots are currently known as Lots 4 & 5 as they are two parcels; however, the intent is to split the lots. Mr. Morris stated the motion will amend Lake Havasu City Page 16 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 the PD with Lots 4B, 5B, and 5A. When questioned by Mr. Nelson about Lot 6, Mr. Gorden stated it is already built out as storage units. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Hearing none, Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for a zone change to amend the zoning classification and district boundary of PD 07-00200007 removing and rezoning 6520 & 6530 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 4 & 5, from C-2/PD to a new C-2/PD, as follows: For Proposed Lots 4B and 5B: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, and 2. Allow all C-2 Uses 3. Lots 4B and 5B shall be developed after or in conjunction with Lot 5A. For Proposed Lot 5A: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, 2. Allow all C-2 uses except self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 3. Allow a maximum building height of 36 feet, and 4. Buildings facing Showplace Ave shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. Item will go to the City Council on 8-10-2021. Mr. Gorden stated they have talked about Condition 3 for Lots 4B and 5B; however they would prefer it not be a condition. If that is what is necessary then would be okay with it. That was not the intent when we applied and would prefer if we could proceed without that. Chairman Harris asked if Lot 5A would be a part of storage units in the rear. Would the concept be offices for the storage units? Mr. Gorden stated the primary building would be a separate C-2 business. Only access to the back is through the middle where Lot 5A is. Most of the parcel, from a site development standpoint, will happen with the development for storage. There is no user for the proposed building, prefer that the building has to be built first not be a requirement. Mr. Nelson stated he hopes for more commercial on property. A lot of people that run small businesses cannot afford to buy a lot and build something. Great concept for a small commercial building. If the offices are small and they can run a business out of the storage unit, window tinting, small auto repair, etc. Only one other complex like this on Lake Havasu City Page 17 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Dover Ave. Suggest the applicant allow CCRs to allow a small office and run business out of the storage unit, allowing a place for small businesses to operate. Less traffic and clean up yards for people not to run businesses out of their homes. Mr. Diaz made a motion to approve ID 21-2879 with Staff's recommendations. When questioned by Chairman Harris if the motion included the Staff report conditions or the ones presented today. Mr. Diaz clarified that the Motion included the new Condition No. 3 proposed by Staff today. Mr. Gorden stated he was disappointed as what was presented did not have this condition. Staff added this to the presentation today and thus he opposes it for no other reason than that, and asked that the motion be redone. Chairman Harris asked if Lots 5A and 5B are owned by the same owner. Mr. Gorden said yes, they have the same owner at this time. Chairman Harris stated that, in his personal opinion, a buffer has been created with Lot 5A and requiring Lot 5B be built on first is creating a burden on the owner. Ms. Medley asked if the intent of adding this condition is so that nothing would change with ownership. Mr. Morris stated the idea of adding this condition was overlooked until the Staff report was already out. Staff felt maybe the Commission would like to be aware of the timing of the development and to buffer the rear portion if it is needed before the rear portion develops. Mr. Diaz withdrew the motion. There was further discussion amongst the Commission, Staff, and Mr. Gorden regarding Condition No. 3 with regards to the buffering, architectural featuring, burden to owners, timeliness of development, ownership. Mr. Gorden added that he would be okay with a condition stating all the landscape buffer and site being developed but not the vertical building of that structure be a part of this condition. Mr. Gorden clarified that the subject Lots are currently two parcels. The parcels will be altered via subdivision after the zoning approval. Ms. Medley made a motion to approve ID 21-2879 [recommend the City Council approve] a request for a zone change to amend the zoning classification and district boundary of PD 07-00200007 removing and rezoning 6520 & 6530 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 4 & 5, from C-2/PD to a new C-2/PD, as follows: For Proposed Lots 4B and 5B: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, and Lake Havasu City Page 18 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 2. Allow all C-2 uses. 3. Buildings facing Showplace Avenue shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail, and 4. Landscape for Lot 5A For Proposed Lot 5A: 1. Adopt the Submitted Development Plan, 2. Allow all C-2 uses except self-storage/mini storage (storage units), 3. Allow a maximum building height of 36 feet, and 4. Buildings facing Showplace Avenue shall have architectural character that avoids large, unadorned facades and monotonous repetition of unrelated or inappropriate detail. 5. All landscape buffers as shown on the development plan shall be developed in conjunction with the development of Lots 4B & 5B. Chairman Harris moved that the meeting be recessed at 11:16 am. Meeting reconvened at 11:25 a.m. Ms. Medley amended her motion. Ms. Medley made an amended motion to approve ID 21-2879 [recommend the City Council approve] a request for a zone change to amend the zoning classification and district boundary of PD 07-00200007 removing and rezoning 6520 & 6530 Showplace Avenue, Tract 2395, Lots 4 & 5, from C-2/PD to a new C-2/PD, as follows: For Proposed Lots 4B and 5B: 1.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Nelson and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2873 A Request to Rezone Approximately 157 Acres of the Havasu Riviera Lake Havasu City Page 19 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 Specific Plan to Include: Tract 2401, Lots 28 through 49, from Multiple-Family Residential (R-M) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD), Area 4A from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-General/Planned Development (MU-G/PD), Area 4B from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) to Allow a Maximum Building Height Exception of 40 Feet and Areas 5-8 from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD) to Allow the Following Exceptions: Primary Building Height of 40 Feet, Minimum Lot Width of 50 Feet, Minimum Lot Depth of 100 Feet, Minimum Lot Area of 6,000 Square Feet, and Minimum Reverse-Corner Side Yard Setback of 10 Feet. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Subject property known as Havasu Riviera, southside of town off Highway 95. • Current default zoning is RM and AP. • City adopted the Havasu Riviera Specific Plan for a 250-acre parcel in 2008. • The adopted Land Use Plan designated 142 acres of residential, 80 acres of mixed use, and approximately 28 acres of open space and trails. • 2008- two approved zoning designations, MU (Mixed Use) District and R-4 (High Density Multi-Family) District. • This request includes the relocation of some of the mixed use areas, as well as rezoning the balance to the R-M District (R-4 District was renamed R-M in the 2016 update of the Development Code) with additional modifications to some of the district’s standards. • The Existing Specific Plan indicates Area 5 zoned as MU, and Areas 4, 6, 7, and 8 multi-family. • This request to rezone 157.17 acres includes: • The current request is for Area 4 to be part MU-G (4A), and part MU-N (4B), • Areas 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be zoned R-M. • A portion of Area 3, Lots 28-49 from R-M, Multi-family to R-M/PD to allow 40 foot building height. • A portion of Area 4 (4A) (16.5 acres) from A-P to MU-G, and allow a 40 foot building height. • A portion of Area 4 (4B) (23 Lots, 10.5 acres) from A-P to MU-N, and allow a 40 foot building height. • Areas 5-8 (113 acres) will be rezoned from A-P to their own R-M/PD to include several exceptions as follows: • Maximum building height of 40 feet, whereas R-M allows 30 feet maximum building height. • Minimum lot width shall be 50 feet, whereas R-M requires 60 feet minimum lot Lake Havasu City Page 20 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 width. • Minimum lot depth shall be 100 feet, whereas R-M requires 120 feet minimum lot depth. • Minimum lot area shall be 6,000 square feet, whereas R-M requires 7,200 square feet. • Minimum side yard setback on reverse corner lots shall be 10 feet, whereas R-M requires 15 feet minimum reverse-corner side yard setback. • Due to the challenging topography of the site, exceptions for minimum lot width, depth and area have been requested for a small number of proposed lots. • In order to accommodate architectural concerns, the applicant requested a maximum height exception to allow an additional ten feet of building height throughout the site. • Similar to what is originally approved. Mychal Gorden, Applicant/Desert Land Group gave a brief history update on the Havasu Riviera project and outlined the proposed uses. In 2016 zonings changed with Development Code so we have updated zoning and made a few adjustments. Parcel 5 was Mixed Use. Parcels 4 was Multi-Family. Not much demand for multi-family so we have flopped them. Parcels 6 thru 8 still multi-family just updating the old designation from R4 to RM with a few exceptions/conditions. Height exceptions, 60-foot height allowance with existing plan; now restricting to 40 or 44 feet to keep in residential scale. The request for some parcels to go above 30 and up to 40 is to just give the residential front the flexibility for views, etc. On some parcels this is lowering from 60 to 40 and some R-4 increasing with the height exception. This is really just in the back row of some of the parcels. This property has an elevation change where land is terraced. Developer, through CCNRs, is reserving height allocation to certain areas (back/not affecting anyone). Only 10 percent of the lots may be allowed to go that 40-foot height. Lot width, depth, corner size terrain issues led to unique shaped parcels. This request gives flexibility due to depth of the buildable lot sizes. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of ID 21-2873, the rezoning of approximately 157 acres of the Havasu Riviera Specific Plan to include: • Tract 2401 Lots 28 thru 49, from Multiple-Family Residential (R-M) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD), Area 4A from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-General/Planned Development (MU-G/PD), Area 4B from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) to allow a maximum building height of 40 feet, and • Areas 5-8 from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD) to allow the following exceptions: 1. Maximum building height of 40 feet; 2. Minimum lot width of 50 feet; Lake Havasu City Page 21 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 3. Minimum lot depth of 100 feet; 4. Minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet; and 5. Minimum reverse-corner side yard setback of 10 feet. Item will go to the City Council on 8-10-2021. Applicant agreed with exceptions. Mr. Nelson made a motion to approve ID 21-2873 with Staff recommendations [recommend approval of ID 21-2873, a request to rezone approximately 157 acres of the Havasu Riviera Specific Plan to include: Tract 2401 Lots 28 thru 49, from Multiple-Family Residential (R-M) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD), Area 4A from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-General/Planned Development (MU-G/PD), Area 4B from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) to allow a maximum building height exception of 40 feet and Areas 5-8 from Agricultural Preservation (A-P) to Multiple-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-M/PD) to allow the following exceptions: 1. Maximum building height of 40 feet; 2. Minimum lot width of 50 feet; 3. Minimum lot depth of 100 feet; 4. Minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet; and 5. Minimum reverse-corner side yard setback of 10 feet.] The motion was seconded by Ms. Ballard and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Ballard, Diaz, Bergen, McGowan, Nelson and Medley ID 21-2874 A Request for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Havasu Riviera, APN 109-19-008, Phases 4-8, Creating 340 Lots and Private Streets on Approximately 157.17 Acres. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Companion piece to previous rezone request • Same subject property except for existing subdivision portion • Just rezoned to various zoning district per the last item [Proposed Preliminary Plat shown on screen] • Phases 4 and 7 includes 57 lots and private streets • Phase 5 includes 61 lots, drainage parcels and private streets • Phase 6 includes 126 lots, drainage parcels and private streets • Phase 8 includes 98 lots, drainage parcels and private streets • Meets intent of previously approved rezoning. • The site includes: washes, steep slopes, and poses challenges to provide services for the proposed development. Elevations on the site range from a base of 490 to 680 sea Lake Havasu City Page 22 Printed on 8/23/2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 7, 2021 datum. • The proposed subdivision has a unique street configuration not typical of Lake Havasu City developments. • Thru lots are okay here due to topography. • Applicant using this exception in the subdivision code given the topography of this site. • The Specific Plan stated that residential lots would not exceed 1,048 units. • To date, the city has approved 218 residential lots for development. This request includes an additional 340 residential and mixed use lots. Mychal Gorden, Applicant/Desert Land Group stated they are dealing with pretty intense topography which creates a really unique development but presents challenges with regards to shapes of lot sizes and configuration of streets. This zoning and preliminary plat approval will allow the development to move forward. Chairman Harris asked how far the developer is from public report. Mr. Gorden stated this is dealing with Parcels 4-8. Actually grading with three of the parcels with an at risk grading. Goal is to bring two more developments into the market before the end of the year. When asked by Chairman Harris, Mr. Gorden stated this preliminary plat is pretty close to what is being developed. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Hearing none, Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends that land use action ID #21-2874, for a Preliminary Plat for Havasu Riviera, APN 109-19-008, Phases 4-8, creating 340 lots and private streets on approximately 157.17 acres, be approved with the following conditions: 1.
