The Bullhead City Council approved an ordinance to rezone about 33 acres generally on the south side of Bullhead Parkway, west of the Mohave Crossroads subdivision, and approved the preliminary plat for a residential project called The Dunes at Bullhead City.

Johnny Lohrer, the city’s development services staff presenter, described the parcel and the requested change from C‑2 (general commercial) to a PAD (planned area development) with an underlying R‑1L single‑family limited designation. Lohrer said the applicant’s submittal shows a residential development with several amenity features and two internal entrances from an existing private driveway behind Ross and Boot Barn that would be widened and dedicated to the city as a right of way.

Lohrer described the project in his presentation, saying in the course of the staff briefing: “This would consist of 77 single family residential lots or detached homes, I'm sorry, 150 attached single family homes. So they would look like duplexes, but they would still be on individual lots individually for sale.” The preliminary plan also shows open space, a proposed dog park, pool, and boat/RV parking. Lohrer said the plan shows no access from Tierra Loma Drive and that a fire‑department‑compliant turnaround would be provided at that south boundary.

The planning commission recommended approval; staff and the development engineer were available for council questions. Council members asked about road widening, emergency‑vehicle access and neighborhood connectivity; staff said the owner of Target Center and the developer would provide additional right of way and that the new street behind Ross would be built to city standards so emergency vehicles can access the site. Staff said final plat submittal will include detailed reviews by the fire marshal.

Action: the council voted 7–0 to adopt Ordinance No. 2025‑11 approving the zoning map change to PAD with underlying R‑1L and to approve the project's preliminary plat. The motion and second were recorded and a roll call showed seven votes in favor.
