Council approves outdoor mini-golf and 50-foot rock-climbing wall at Maricopa Avenue site
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance to rezone roughly 0.92 acres on Maricopa Avenue to allow an outdoor 18-hole mini-golf course, restaurant and a rock-climbing wall up to 50 feet tall; planning commission had recommended approval 7–0 and council vote was 6–0.
The Lake Havasu City Council voted Tuesday to approve a plan development rezone and general development plan that will permit an outdoor miniature golf course and a rock-climbing wall up to 50 feet tall at 3485–3493 Maricopa Avenue.
Trevor Kearns, planning staff, described the subject parcels as approximately 0.92 acres currently vacant and located between Pecos Drive and Outpost Drive. The rezone changes the site from Commercial Southgate District to Commercial Southgate Plan Development District to allow outdoor entertainment uses that include an 18-hole miniature golf course, an outdoor climbing wall and a restaurant/bar building at the west portion of the lot.
An applicant representative said the entertainment venue will be called Dimples Adventures and will include artificial turf, boulders, water features, and an indoor area proposed for karaoke, batting cages and an arcade. The applicant told council the climbing wall would be a freestanding structure designed by a specialty vendor and that fundraising events would donate a portion of proceeds to local nonprofits.
The planning commission recommended approval 7–0 at its Feb. 19 meeting. During the council public hearing, resident Bonnie Toye asked about parking and lighting; staff said handicap parking and lighting will meet city code and that code specifics are available online.
Council Member David Diaz moved to adopt ordinance number 25-1359 approving the plan development rezone and general development plan; Council Member Jim Dolan seconded. The motion passed 6–0.
Council and staff did not attach special conditions beyond the plan-development requirements; building permits and site improvements will be evaluated under city code at the permit stage.
