Planning staff told commissioners the project follows a general-plan amendment the council approved roughly six months earlier to change the site’s designation from commercial to medium/high-density residential. The preliminary plat and PAD request would create 227 lots: 77 detached single-family residences and 150 attached units on individual lots (configured like duplexes with a property line between units). The developers also propose common-area standards, required parking, guest spaces and spaces for boats and recreational vehicles because many proposed lots are smaller than typical single-family lots.

Commissioners and members of the public raised access and traffic concerns. Catherine Watkins, a homeowner on Terra Loma, said the development’s 277 residential units (the applicant and staff described 227 lots; Watkins stated the project would result in 277 units in her remarks) could generate an additional 554 cars if projected at two cars per home and would worsen congestion on Highway 95. Watkins asked whether the road planned to serve the development — described in materials and by staff as an existing western driveway behind retail centers such as Ross and Boot Barn, to be dedicated to the city and improved — would lead to increased cut-throughs past nearby retail.

Don Anderson, the project engineer with Anderson Nelson, said the shopping-center owner is dedicating the existing roadway to the city and the applicants will add additional right-of-way so the corridor becomes a standard 50-foot right-of-way with 36 feet of pavement; the design will include two internal entrances into the subdivision. Anderson said a traffic study showed no major impact to surrounding areas and that access from Terra Loma Drive will be blocked so existing adjacent neighborhoods would not have a direct new connection into the subdivision.

Planning staff confirmed one condition discussed during prior review: no access from Terra Loma Drive to the new development. Commissioners also addressed the PAD process and variances: staff explained the PAD overlay (available for properties of five acres or more) allows applicants to request different standards for lot sizes, setbacks and landscaping as part of a negotiated development standard; those requests are discretionary and subject to commission and council review. One commissioner said he would not vote in favor of the request because of the number of deviations sought; staff and the commission’s legal/administrative advisor clarified that the commission’s action at this meeting is to recommend the zone change and preliminary plat and that final engineering, landscaping and detailed standards will be addressed during final plat and conditional-use/plan review stages.

After public comment and applicant responses, the commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval as submitted and forward the matter to City Council. Conditions noted in the hearing record include (as described by staff and the applicant) dedication and improvement of the access road to city standards and prohibition of Terra Loma Drive access; other detailed standards on landscaping, setbacks and parking will be considered during final plat and engineering review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Bullhead City’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 2 voted 4-0 to recommend a zone change and preliminary plat for the 33.7-acre Dunes of Bullhead City, a planned area development that would create 227 lots west of Mohave Crossroads.","taxTitle","Bullhead City, Mohave County, Arizona","taxId",54694,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6426865,"Planning commission approves preliminary condominium plat for La Jolla Village at 1810 Indian Head Drive",123,329000,452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5874273-c38df380b7801de2733dad33fa2cb197&start=329&end=452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5874273-c38df380b7801de2733dad33fa2cb197/thumbnail_329000.jpg","/articles/6426865/Bullhead-City/Mohave-County/Arizona/Planning-commission-approves-preliminary-condominium-plat-for-La-Jolla-Village-at-1810-Indian-Head-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426865-3f78ffce191f82b2b1594fb7c456d8ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1773510941&Signature=m5K45rXEfC7PEYDpiyzQq7d7u7RVr9J6f6XKvqrsODVmOlrDY6OOj9GTazkJtH9LkTwHczrsVCrgOkLcXDPfxajDDl0b4MRQ0gSKk2QUy~qOWleLfiYrjSsFiRHS2eti66eIGuR5B4n0zyw-F6mIYGn1lrGNbi3Xre39nJoY4MByhR9ntuRoYOMTMUOluuLAp~XmPpb4xHIOUU4pTiMvgpDYC7eFQAqz~3lqAmnQlylLQbfyq4oP9TqU-3HSsQ7h1-iUpCuhvFBdM0prRvDvOR2t~yfuQHhvSkUpfVbT~6BnUYa71TXABdXfzplqUuO-AU7wrR5uoZO83rRcP-RmyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bullhead City Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 2 recommended approval of a preliminary condominium plat for a project called La Jolla Village at 1810 Indian Head Drive, moving the application to the City Council for final approval.

The preliminary plat would convert an existing property described as the first revised plat of Sunridge Estates, Tract 4042 A Block 9, Lot 1, into condominium parcels so the owner could sell individual units. According to planning staff, the site contains six fourplex buildings constructed in 2002; approval of the final plat by council would allow the creation of individual airspace parcels for each unit while common areas would be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.

City planning staff presented the request as the initial step in a two-step approval process: the commission’s recommendation on the preliminary plat, followed by City Council review of the final plat to create the legal condominium parcels. No members of the public spoke against the proposal at the hearing. After a motion to approve as written and a second, the commission voted 4-0 to carry the recommendation forward to council.

The commission’s action does not itself create condominium parcels; staff reiterated that the final plat and council action would be required to establish individual ownership and long-term HOA responsibilities. The commission record shows no amendments attached to the motion.

City planning staff said the site currently sits on a single parcel with 11 structures; the preliminary plat would create 11 individual parcels plus common-area parcels to be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. The action was characterized as the first step in a two-step approval process: the commission’s recommendation and a subsequent final plat review by City Council.

Commissioners asked whether the structures are already built; staff confirmed the units are under construction and the plat would permit the owner and contractor to sell the units individually once the final plat is approved. No members of the public spoke in opposition. After a motion to approve as read and a second, the commission voted 4-0 to forward the preliminary plat to council.

The commission’s recommendation does not by itself establish individual ownership.

Under the current regulation explained by planning staff, accessory space is limited to 50 percent more than a house’s living area (for example, a 1,000-square-foot home could have up to 1,500 square feet of accessory space). The proposed amendment keeps the existing 50 percent allowance but adds an option to allow up to 150 percent accessory area if the structure meets higher architectural standards. Those standards would require conventional construction for the exterior (for example, stucco, brick or block rather than exposed metal), architectural features such as varied rooflines and “pop-outs,” and other design measures intended to prevent large, monolithic building elevations.

Staff emphasized that the 150 percent allowance remains subject to other code requirements, including setbacks and lot-coverage limits: on smaller lots the higher percentage may be constrained by setbacks. Commissioners and residents who spoke in favor said the change would allow homeowners to build larger, more usable storage and garage space without enlarging living area. One commissioner described personal experience having to increase house square footage previously in order to meet garage-size requirements.

After public comment and discussion, the commission voted 4-0 to recommend the code amendment to council. Planning staff said the amendment aims to give homeowners flexibility while ensuring larger accessory buildings are designed to be compatible with neighborhood character.","The commission voted 4-0 to recommend a code amendment to Title 17 of the Bullhead City Municipal Code allowing accessory structures up to 150% of a home's living space if they meet stricter architectural standards; the amendment retains existing 50% allowance and adds conventional-construction and design requirements for larger structures.","actionData","errors"]
