Bullhead City Commission approves easement abandonment and three new development plans

The Bullhead City Planning and Zoning Commission convened on June 5, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of meeting minutes and various public hearings related to local development projects.

The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of all commission members except Commissioner Kramer. Following the pledge of allegiance, the commission approved the minutes from the April 3 special and regular meetings unanimously.

The first significant item on the agenda was a public hearing regarding the abandonment of an 8-foot public utility easement within a parcel of land in Chaparral Terrace. The easement was originally part of a blanket easement that had been abandoned previously. The developer requested this specific easement's abandonment, and after confirming with utility companies that no objections existed, the commission approved the motion with a unanimous vote.

Next, the commission held a public hearing for the preliminary condominium plat for The Village at Mercado Condominiums. This project involves the development of eight condominium units on a multi-family zoned parcel. The commission noted that the project would not require a zoning change, and after no public comments were made, the motion to approve the preliminary plat was also passed unanimously.

The third item discussed was the preliminary plat for the Residences at Parkside, a proposed development within the City Center District. This project aims to create 155 single-family residential lots on a 20-acre parcel. The commission confirmed that the zoning had already been established in prior approvals, allowing the preliminary plat to move forward. After addressing a question regarding setback requirements for corner lots, the commission approved the motion without opposition.

In closing remarks, the commission shared updates on community events, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Bullhead Regional Food Bank's new expansion scheduled for June 20, and a bingo event hosted by the Colorado River Republican Women on June 23.

Overall, the meeting progressed efficiently, with all agenda items receiving unanimous approval, reflecting a collaborative effort towards the development and enhancement of Bullhead City.
