The Lake Havasu City Council adopted an ordinance Tuesday approving a plan development rezone for two parcels on Kiowa Boulevard North that will allow outdoor storage up to 10 feet high and permit the outdoor storage area to exceed the area of the primary building.

Planning staff said the subject properties total about 0.76 acres; Lot 2 is developed with an existing Turf Pro operation and Lot 1 is currently vacant. The request included a general development plan to expand parking, common access and outdoor storage. Staff recommended several code compliance conditions: the properties must be combined prior to design review approval; the perimeter fence along outdoor storage must be an 8‑foot concrete masonry wall; the driveway on Lot 2 must be shared access; and building permits and design review must be completed prior to development.

The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval 7‑0 in July. During council discussion, Council member Nancy Campbell asked about preserving common parking and consistency of commercial nodes; staff explained existing nonconforming conditions tied to earlier development patterns and confirmed shared driveway and parking connectivity would be required when adjacent lots develop.

Council member Jim Dolan moved to adopt Ordinance 25‑1366; Council member Cameron Moses seconded. The council voted 7‑0 to approve the rezone and general development plan subject to the staff conditions.

Outcome: Ordinance adopted authorizing increased outdoor storage height and area for the specified Kiowa Boulevard parcels with code compliance conditions including lot combination and construction of an 8‑foot perimeter wall.
