PUBLIC HEARING ID 21-3109 Request for a Planned Development Rezone for 2250 Marina View Avenue, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, from Mixed Use-General (MU-G) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) and Applying the Previously Approved Maximum Allowable Building Height of Up to 60 Feet for a Residential Townhome Development Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • Access is from Havasu Riviera Parkway to Marina View Ave. • The site is rough graded and vacant. • The properties to the west and south are zoned MU-N and developed as homes under Lake Havasu City Page 1 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 construction and vacant lots. • The property to the east is zoned MU-G and is vacant. • Vacant city-controlled land lies to the north, across Havasu Riviera Parkway. • The 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. • In the 2008 approval, the applicant requested two zoning designations, MU (Mixed Use) District and R-4 (High Density Multi-Family) District. • The subject lot is in the MU District portion of the original approval, and in 2018, it was rezoned to Mixed-Use General (MU-G) applying the previously allowed maximum building height of up to 60 feet. • The MU-G district allows a number of commercial uses as well as multi-family residential above the ground floor. • Commercial development allowed as part of the MU-G zoning has not been realized on the property. • Therefore, the property owner desires to rezone the property to Mixed-Use Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) to allow a multi-family attached townhome residential development. [Site Plan shown on screen] • The site plan submitted with the request shows 17 residential units clustered in two and three-unit buildings. • The dwelling units will be two-story, with attached garages, and served by private driveways and sewer utility. Water will be city provided. [Building Rendering of project shown on screen] • The applicant is asking for a Planned Development to ensure that the project will be developed as shown on the Site Plan and Sample Building Renderings. • This item is accompanied by a request to approve the preliminary plat for the proposed development. Mychal Gorden, applicant Desert Land Group stated Mr. Morris did a great job on explaining the background. Mr. Gorden stated that as this community is developed, these Mixed Use parcels have sat there and the applicant has continued with their planning efforts trying to figure out what is the highest and best use and what the best fit for the community is. For this particular parcel, this two-story Townhome project is what is being pursued at the moment. The parcel next door is staying as MU-G. We are in the process of designing and developing a bistro/coffee shop component in retail office building along with the neighborhood pool amenities for this neighborhood. Although this area was first put in as MU-G, as things have developed in the market, it has evolved into a more denser residential part of Riviera. A hotel, which was initially planned for is no longer a proper fit for this area. Lake Havasu City Page 2 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing, hearing none, he 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. 21-3109, for a Planned Development Rezone for 2250 Marina View Ave, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, from Mixed Use-General (MU-G) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) applying the previously approved maximum allowable building height of up to 60 feet for a residential townhome development per the attached Townhomes Site Plan. This item will go to the February 8, 2022 City Council meeting. Ms. Ballard made a motion to recommend to City Council to approve Land Use Action No. 21-3109, for a Planned Development Rezone for 2250 Marina View Avenue, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, from Mixed Use-General to Mixed Use- Neighborhood/Planned Development applying the previously approved maximum allowable building height of up to 60 feet for a residential townhome development per the attached Townhomes Site Plan. Mr. Diaz seconded the motion which carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Harris, Bergen, Ballard, Mitchell, Medley and Diaz ID 21-3113 Request for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for 2250 Marina View Avenue, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, Creating a 17-Unit Residential Townhome Condominium Subdivision in the Mixed-Use Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) District Alternate Member Levin arrived at the meeting, was changed from Absent to Present, and seated at the dais. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • This is a companion item to a Planned Development Rezone from MU-G to MU-N/PD to allow the proposed townhome condominium development. • Access is from Havasu Riviera Parkway to Marina View Ave • The site is rough graded and vacant. • The property to the east is zoned MU-G and is vacant. • Vacant city-controlled land lies to the north, across Havasu Riviera Parkway. • The proposed plat will allow the units to be individually owned as part of an association for the common portions of the site. The project includes: • 17 residential units with attached garages. • Parcel 75-A, Private Street and PUE. • The sewer and streets will be privately owned and maintained. • The water will be owned and maintained by the city. Lake Havasu City Page 3 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 • A development agreement will need to be reviewed and approved outlining the maintenance of the improvements. • The project will have a property owners association to manage and maintain the private drive and sewer improvements. Mychal Gorden, applicant stated he is available for questions; however, there were none. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing, hearing none, he closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends approval of Land Use Action 21-3113, a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for 2250 Marina View Ave, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, Creating a 17-Unit Residential Townhome Condominium Subdivision in the Mixed-Use Neighborhood/Planned Development (MU-N/PD) District. Mr. Mitchell made a motion to approve Land Use Action 21-3113, a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for 2250 Marina View Avenue, Tract 2399, Block 1, Lot 75, creating a 17-Unit Residential Townhome Condominium Subdivision in the Mixed-Use Neighborhood/Planned Development District. The motion was seconded by Ms. Medley and carried on the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Bergen, Ballard, Mitchell, Levin, Medley and Diaz Absent: 2 - McGowan and Nelson ID 21-3107 Request for a Planned Development Rezone for 3702 Indian Hills Drive and 3641 & 3651 Buena Vista Avenue, Tract 2208, Block 13, Parcel L and Tract 2217, Block 9, Lots 3 & 4, from R-1 (Residential Single-Family) District and R-3 (Limited Multiple-Family) District to R-3/PD (Limited Multiple-Family/Planned Development) District not to Exceed 6.99 Units Per Acre Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • The subject is made up of three properties. • The site is generally on Buena Vista Avenue between Oro Grande Boulevard and McCulloch Boulevard South. • It is roughly a large triangle with a northwest side of 880 feet, an east side of 725 feet, and a south side of 520 feet, with a total area of 5.76 acres. • Parcel L, a large flag lot, was recently purchased from the City through property sales process in 2018. • Parcel L has access off of Indian Hills Drive, measures 5.16 acres and is zoned R-1. • The two smaller lots on Buena Vista Avenue measure .31 and .29 acres and are currently zoned R-3. Lake Havasu City Page 4 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 • The combined properties have a 30-foot wide flag lot access to Indian Hills Drive and abuts the rear property lines of residential lots that front on Indian Hills Drive, Chiricahua Drive, and Buena Vista Avenue. • The neighboring properties on Indian Hills Drive and Chiricahua Drive are zoned R-1, and developed with single-family homes with just two vacant lots. • The nearby properties on Buena Vista Avenue are zoned R-3 and developed as a mix of vacant lots, single and multi-family residential homes. • To the south, across Buena Vista Avenue, is Lake Havasu Fire Station #3, and a large undeveloped open parcel owned by the Lake Havasu Unified School District. [Conceptual Plan, provided by applicant, shown on screen] • Property slopes down about 30 feet from Indian Hills Drive towards Buena Vista Avenue. • There is approximately 36 feet of elevation change on the site. • The requested R-3 District allows a maximum building height of 15 feet from the established pad height of the property. • The pad height will be established by a surveyed grading plan prior to development of the property. • Given the topography of the site, some of the buildings near the southern portion of the property could possibly measure 30 feet or taller from existing ground level. • The site has approximately 185 feet of frontage along Buena Vista Avenue and 30 feet of flag lot frontage on Indian Hills Drive. • Upon development, the property is anticipated to have its main access from Buena Vista Avenue, with Indian Hills Drive providing egress and ingress with an emergency access only. • Ingress and egress will be provided as a private driveways, there will be no public streets. • For general planning purposes, the applicant provided a conceptual plan showing 40 detached single-family dwellings with attached garages. • This PD rezone request will not exceed 6.99 units per acre for the entire project based on density limits supported by the General Plan. • The maximum number of dwelling units will be limited to 40, based on the 5.76-acre site overall. [Conceptual Rendering shown on screen] • It is anticipated the dwelling units will be offered for sale as townhouse condominium units, meaning the buyer would own both the dwelling unit and the land under it. • The conceptual plan also shows a pool, cabana, and internal driveways and parking areas as part of the condominium common areas. • The project will be subject to the Design Review approval process prior to building permit issuance and the condominium plat review process prior to creation of a condominium subdivision. • Staff received two letters of objection to the request after the staff report was Lake Havasu City Page 5 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 distributed. These have been provided to the Commission. Sam Woods, Built Well, stated Mr. Morris nailed it and was available for any questions. When questioned by Mr. Diaz, Mr. Woods stated some of his other developments are a little closer; however, being held to the 40 units, the houses are spread out more- like a miniature community. He will try to fit two and three bedroom units there too, along with guest parking, etc as the layout allows. Chairman Harris asked what the requested height limitation is for this project. Mr. Morris stated the R-3 height is 15 feet and no height exceptions are being requested. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Six people spoke in opposition of the request citing the following: Chuck Marin, Indian Hills resident, stated nothing has changed since the last time that it was voted against the item 6-0. Not against development, just as R-1 as opposed to the requested density. Cited parking as an issue. Mr. Marin provided a copy of a signed petition (with 50 signatures) in opposition of this request. The original will be provided to the City Clerk prior to the item going before the City Council. Wayne Nuell, Indian Hills Drive resident echoed Mr. Marin's concern and spoke against having 40 units built in his back yard. Scott Shadell, Indian Hills Drive resident, does not believe this is affordable housing. Disagree with Staff recommendation that this is beneficial to this area;however does not want to come across as a NIMBY. When asked by Chairman Harris, Mr. Shadell stated he worked as a Civil Engineer for the City of Carslbad, Escondido, and County of San Diego. Larry Palm, recently moved next to access on Indian Hills. Previously lived in similar type complex in Colorado. Foresees parking issue to be a real problem, as he has experienced this first hand- not enough parking once his teens were of driving age. Rex Cross, Indian Hills resident, backs up to upper corner. This property was zoned R-1 since beginning when we and he purchased the property. Requests to leave as R-1. John McDonald, Buena Vista resident, stated he shares the rear property line with subject property. Feels that R-1 zoning would allow a property with half the density- maybe 20 homes and be a better fit for that property. With the topography on that lot, it will allow them to increase the density- larger 2-story homes all along my property line. The Lake Havasu City Page 6 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 applicant does not have a design yet so it leaves it wide open. Would rather leave as R-1, as is, until we know what the design is. Shared traffic in his back yard, increase density, lighting, and noise will be detrimental for his future plans of the property and surrounding neighbors. Chairman Harris closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Morris stated that based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for Land Use Action 21-3107, for 3702 Indian Hills Dr and 3641 & 3651 Buena Vista Ave, Tract 2208, Block 13, Parcel L and Tract 2217, Block 9, Lots 3 & 4, from R-1 (Residential Single-Family) District and R-3 (Limited Multiple-Family) District to R-3/PD (Limited Multiple-Family/Planned Development) District with the following conditions: 1. The project shall not exceed 40 units; 2. The project shall consist of detached single-family units; and 3. Design Review for compliance with the Development Code shall be required for the project prior to building permit issuance. Mr. Morris stated this item will go to the February 8, 2022 City Council meeting. Mr. Diaz asked if the conditions added to this request were also recommended the previous time the item came before the Commission. Mr. Morris stated he does not recall the exact conditions, just that Staff recommended approval last time as well. The item was denied by the Planning Commission and the applicant withdrew the item before it went before City Council. When asked by Mr. Diaz if anything has changed, Mr. Morris stated the Conceptual Plan might have been revised a little bit but the request remained the same. Ms. Ballard stated the plan is calling for single car garages. I live in the same plan. Understands HOA can control boats, etc. Issue with single car garage in 40 units and insufficient guest parking makes her wonder if the City can limit amount of garage space from single to double car parking. Mr. Mitchell asked how many units are allowable on R-1 zoning per acre. The Range of units per acre are 4-6 units per R-1. So to clarify we have 6 acres that would roughly fit 16-20 units making this request roughly twice as dense. The Commission and Staff discussed the zoning of this property which is R-1 and that it would need to be subdivided if wanting more than one single family dwelling on it at this Lake Havasu City Page 7 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 time. Chairman Harris stated he was on the Commission when this came through last time. Definitely affects adjoining owners and values of the neighborhood. Kind of goes against zoning theory where there is a buffer zone between these properties. Commends the applicant for the design and type of project just does not think this is the right place for it. Mr. Diaz made a motion to recommend denial to City Council for Land Use Action 21-3107, for 3702 Indian Hills Drive and 3641 & 3651 Buena Vista Avenue, Tract 2208, Block 13, Parcel L and Tract 2217, Block 9, Lots 3 & 4, from Residential Single-Family District and Limited Multiple-Family District to Limited Multiple-Family/Planned Development District. The motion was seconded by Ms. Medley, and carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Harris, Bergen, Ballard, Mitchell, Levin, Medley and Diaz ID 21-3114 Request for a Planned Development Rezone Amending the Approved Development Plan of PD-02-003 for 1975 Daytona Drive, Tract 2313, Block 1, Lot 1, in the Single-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-1/PD) District Adding a School Building and a Gymnasium Ms. Ballard recused herself due to conflict of Interest. Mr. Morris thanked the Chairman and presented a PowerPoint slideshow and narrative including some of the following key points: • The 8.18-acre subject property is located on Daytona Dr, east of Mulberry Ave near Greentree Dr. • It is home to three buildings, including a 23,500 sq. ft. church, a 12,400 sq. ft. educational building, and a 4,300 sq. ft. pavilion that is under construction. • The subject property is zoned R-1/PD. • The abutting properties are all zoned Single-family Residential (R-1) and are developed with a mix of homes and a few vacant lots that all back to the church property. • In 2002, the property was zoned Limited Multiple-Family (R-3) and was rezoned to Light Agricultural/Planned Development (A-1/PD) by Ordinance No 02-677, allowing a new church building and a total of three buildings on the site. • The A-1 zone allowed buildings up to 40 feet in height. • In 2016, the Development (Zoning) Code was updated. • As part of the update, the A-1 zoning district was eliminated and the property was reclassified from A-1/PD to R-1/PD because the surrounding properties were also zoned R-1. • The allowances and conditions of the previous Planned Development Rezone still apply, including a building height of up to 40 feet and a total of three buildings. • This Planned Development Amendment is required because the staff report from the Lake Havasu City Page 8 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 2002 Rezone suggested that the site is limited to the church and two other buildings, unless additional public hearings are held and public notice given. [Area Site Plan shown on screen] • The site plan submitted with the request shows the existing church, education building, and pavilion (under construction) and the two proposed buildings, for a total of five buildings. • Therefore, the property owner has submitted this amendment to add the proposed school and gymnasium buildings. [Site Plan shown on screen] • The two proposed future buildings, include a 26,800 sq. ft. two-story school, and a 10,500 sq. ft. gymnasium building near the southwest corner of the property. • The proposed structures are about 50 feet from the rear property lines of the abutting single-family lots to the northwest. • Parking calculations provided with the request indicate a total of 325 parking spaces are required for the existing and proposed uses and 399 spaces are proposed. • The parking meets the Development Code requirements. [School Building Elevations shown on screen] • Exterior elevations for the school building show a building height of 30 feet. • The building is designed with no windows on the northwest side of the building, facing the abutting single-family homes. • Building elevations for the gymnasium were not provided. • Staff received a letter of objection to the request after the staff report was distributed and it has been provided to the commission. Father Chauncy Winkler, Pastor at Our Lady of the Lake/applicant, stated they are starting with smaller construction; however, this is a plan for the future to build a school building and gymnasium. Seeking approval up front for future needs. Plan to build school building as running out of classrooms in rear educational building. Also want office in front of the church. No windows on left side - western sun is brutal in the afternoon, and also to not have any windows facing the residential properties. When questioned by Chairman Harris, Father Chauncey is hoping to build the proposed school this year and the gymnasium in about 5 years due to financial reasons. Mr. Mitchell asked if their is a change in height for the proposed gymnasium. Todd Brautigam, Selberg Associates, stated they are not seeking to change the 40-foot height limit; however, the gymnasium is not planned for 40 feet, it is going to be more like 25 to 30 feet. Father Chauncey added that the proposed two-story school building itself is only going to be 30 feet. The church is 40 feet and it needs to be visibly the tallest building so everything else will be significantly shorter. Lake Havasu City Page 9 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 Mr. Diaz asked what grades will be incorporated in the classrooms. Father Chauncey stated they will be Pre-K through eighth grade and are currently one classroom per grade. If in distant future it is available and the need is there, would like two classrooms per grade. Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing. Randy Habeck, owner of house on Greentree for 51 years spoke against this request. He stated he has lived there since the first church was there. There are no houses above that road elevation wise. To build anything more than an R1 home is invasive as it will deprive everybody in that area of a quiet street and neighborhood. Noise concern- no one ever dreamed of having a gymnasium with basketballs or school with bells ringing behind their house. Always got along with the church but this is getting out of control from R-1 to multi- story building. Traffic already a problem- parking already on our property. Our area is low density. Mr. Habeck feels their homes will have a loss of value with a gigantic building looking down at everybody. Dante Marinelli, homeowner for about 45 years in Lake Havasu, owned a couple of businesses in town, and has been a member of this Parish ever since he moved here. Part of the Building Committee that demoed the old church and on the one that built the new church. He stated the Diocese of Phoenix is sometimes very difficult to work with in rural Arizona. After 20 years of finally convincing them that we need a Catholic school in Lake Havasu, they allowed us to move forward. With the new buildings that you see, there isn't anything that is intrusive into the neighborhood. The church sits higher than any of the other locations along the street level. That particular area, we are not looking at a major traffic flow. It is not like a Thunderbolt [Middle School] that houses 2300 kids. We are a small private Catholic education center- with that, hope to hold maybe at a maximum of 250 kids. Most typical Catholic families have two and three kids so when we drop off, we don't drop off 250 individual cars- we drop off in multi-family units so the flow is something we always consider in dropping off the kids. We have to now build the school in security areas to keep the kids protected with fencing, etc. Also, right now we are only at one classroom per grade so the gymnasium also acts as an area for additional classrooms as we grow. Right now at 5th grade but will be able to take the new school up to 8th grade. Not prudent time for construction; however the price has doubled since it first started but need this to avoid modular buildings. There is a need for private education in this community. Also the committee has made commitment to take the two-story building down to one story due to pricing. There will not be a lot of noise outside, as there are no outdoor playgrounds. The gym will be built in an area that allows the kids to make noise in an indoor setting. The committee has submitted revised plans. Lake Havasu City Page 10 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 Suzanne Habeck, stated this is a difficult decision, does agree that Lake Havasu needs more private education and supports the Catholic church and that they need a school and gymnasium. Hesitancy is that the neighborhood area is a quiet wonderful neighborhood. Do believe new construction and new rezoning would lower home value and change neighborhood environment. Against new construction and rezoning. Brian Morisella, Greentree resident, just purchased house last year which is on the corner of the driveway [Church's driveway]. He stated the driveway is already at his roofline. When vehicles are driving out, they could basically see in his back yard and the kids jumping on trampoline. Feels resell value will definitely drop with a 30-foot building as he will be having a huge block wall behind him as his view. Notices the traffic already coming in to drop off the younger kids on the other side. Can't imagine how much traffic will be doubled. Suggested finding a bigger lot for the bigger kids. Requests the Commission not approve this item. 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 21-3114, for a Planned Development Rezone amending the approved development plan of PD-02-003 for 1975 Daytona Dr, Tract 2313, Block 1, Lot 1, in the Single-Family Residential/Planned Development (R-1/PD) District adding a school building and a gymnasium, with the following conditions: 1. The development shall substantially match the Site Plan provided with the request, 2. The site is limited to those buildings shown on the Site Plan, unless additional public hearings are held and public notice given, 3. The new buildings shall be setback at least 50 feet from the property lines, 4. Building height for any new structures shall not exceed 30 feet, 5. Windows providing views of the abutting residential properties shall not be located on the northwest portion of the new buildings, and 6. Design Review for compliance with the Development Code and the conditions of this approval shall be required for the project prior to building permit issuance. This item will go to the City Council’s February 8, 2022 meeting. Chairman Harris asked Father Chauncey is it not typical that most churches have educational facilities, quite a few of them in town already have schools on their premises. Father Chauncey affirmed and stated that as Mr. Marinelli stated, we are part of the Catholic Diocese in Phoenix and there are many Parishes with Catholic elementary schools. When asked if there is currently a school, Father Chauncey stated they took one of the existing buildings that had classrooms and remodeled it to be used as a school Lake Havasu City Page 11 Printed on 1/25/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final January 5, 2022 throughout the week. We currently serve up to 5th grade. Started with kindergarten and have grown a grade per year. Chairman Harris stated that facility and that location since day one of the development was designated as a church site. The zoning was probably modified through the years to accommodate that, but it has been the intent since 1974- since Chairman Harris has been in town. Don't know of too many Catholic churches that do not have educational facilities. Chairman Harris feels from what is shown, there is plenty of room. There have been good points brought up. All of the noise will be contained within the multi-purpose gym, they are not asking for playgrounds, and a lot of noise like a typical school would have. They have the room and the parking and does not see a problem with this request. Mr. Diaz stated he has friends/acquaintances that live in the surrounding neighborhood and they stated the Church is a great neighbor and has not been a noise issue with them. Concurs with Chairman Harris that Catholic churches have an educational aspect built into them with the school- 1st through 8th grade. Mr. Diaz made a motion to recommend to approve Item 21-3114 with Staff's recommendations [for a Planned Development Rezone amending the approved development plan of PD-02-003 for 1975 Daytona Drive, Tract 2313, Block 1, Lot 1, in the Single-Family Residential/Planned Development District adding a school building and a gymnasium, with the following conditions: 1. The development shall substantially match the Site Plan provided with the request, 2. The site is limited to those buildings shown on the Site Plan, unless additional public hearings are held and public notice given, 3. The new buildings shall be setback at least 50 feet from the property lines, 4. Building height for any new structures shall not exceed 30 feet, 5. Windows providing views of the abutting residential properties shall not be located on the northwest portion of the new buildings, and 6. Design Review for compliance with the Development Code and the conditions of this approval shall be required for the project prior to building permit issuance.] The motion was seconded by Mr. Mitchell and carried by the following vote: Aye: 6 - Harris, Bergen, Mitchell, Levin, Medley and Diaz 6.
