Lake Havasu planners approve preliminary plats for storage and 10-unit townhome condominiums
Summary
The Lake Havasu Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 15 approved a preliminary condominium subdivision plat for Foothills Storage Condominiums and a preliminary townhome condominium plat for Mastro’s Condominiums; staff said both meet Title 13 requirements and both projects have completed design review and building-permit review.
The Lake Havasu Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 15 approved two preliminary condominium subdivision plats: a storage-condominium project on Cherry Tree Boulevard and a 10-unit townhome project on Palo Verde Boulevard South.
Staff recommended approval of both proposals after finding they met city code requirements. “Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets all the requirements set forth in Title 13,” Planning staff member Luke Morris told the commission as he presented both items.
The storage-condominium project — Foothills Storage Condominiums — covers about 5.5 acres at the intersection of Cherry Tree Boulevard and Cross Street and is proposed as two phases. Lee Johnson of ATL Surveying, the applicant, told the commission the site is under construction and the plat “just allows them to sell the individual units.” Phase 1 plans show Building A with about 12–25 storage units plus a utility unit and Building B with 21 storage units; the balance of Parcel A is reserved for easements for ingress, egress, utilities and drainage.
The townhome project, Mastro’s Condominiums, is proposed for about 0.6 acres on Palo Verde Boulevard South across from Rainbow Avenue North. Morris said the R3 zoning allows the proposed development; Johnson told the commission the units will be single-story and that the property owner would own the land under each building. “This is an R3 zone, which is a single height zone, so these are single-story units,” Johnson said.
Commissioners asked a few procedural questions. Commissioner Donald Bergen asked whether adjacent property owners are notified for subdivision approvals; Morris explained notification is not required for a subdivision plat the way it is for rezonings or conditional-use permits. “In the development process for a project like a subdivision … there’s not a requirement for notification of the property owners around it,” Morris said.
Commissioner Chad Nelson moved to approve the Foothills Storage preliminary condominium subdivision plat with staff recommendations; Commissioner Doug Hardy seconded, and the motion carried. Commissioner Dan McGowan moved to approve the Mastro’s townhome preliminary subdivision plat, Commissioner Nelson seconded, and that motion also carried.
Both applicants and staff were told subsequent permitting, construction and any future phases would continue to be subject to design-review and building-permit processes already underway.
The commission did not receive public testimony on either item during the hearings.
