Planning commission approves two condominium plats, recommends rezoning of retail-center parcels to C2
Summary
The Lake Havasu Planning and Zoning Commission approved preliminary condominium subdivision plats for Foothills Storage Condominiums and Mastro’s townhomes, and recommended rezoning of three Retail Center parcels from C2PD to C2 general commercial, forwarding that recommendation to council.
The Lake Havasu Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 15 approved two preliminary condominium subdivision plats and recommended approval of a commercial rezoning for three Retail Center parcels.
The commission approved a preliminary condominium subdivision plat for Foothills Storage Condominiums (Land Use Action ID 202253). Planning staff described the 5.5-acre site at Cherry Tree Boulevard as mixed-use general zoning where storage units are permitted; the applicant, Lee Johnson of ATL Surveying, said buildings were under construction and the plat would allow individual units to be sold as condominium parcels. Commissioner Chad Nelson moved approval with staff recommendations; the motion passed (vote recorded as unanimous among commissioners present).
The commission also approved a preliminary townhome condominium subdivision plat for Mastro’s Condominiums (Land Use Action ID 202254). The 0.6-acre site on Palo Verde Boulevard South is in an R3 zoning district where single-story townhomes were proposed; staff reported the project had passed design review and building permits. Lee Johnson, representing the applicant, confirmed the units were single-story per the R3 requirements. Commissioner Dan McGowan moved to approve with attachments; the motion passed.
Separately, the commission considered Land Use Action ID 202248, a request to amend Planned Development No. 97-005 by removing Retail Center-2 parcel plat parcels A, B and C from the planned development and rezoning them from C2 PD to C2 general commercial. Chris Stark, identified in the hearing as the property owner, told commissioners he planned “elite custom condominium storage” on the site with perimeter landscaping and facades to match surrounding properties and estimated construction would take 18 months to two years. Planning staff recommended that the commission forward a recommendation of approval of the rezoning to the City Council; the commission amended the maker’s motion to recommend approval to City Council and the recommendation passed.
Staff reports for the subdivision plats noted both projects met the city’s Title 13 subdivision requirements and had been reviewed through design-review and building-permit processes. No members of the public spoke in favor or against either subdivision item.
Ending: The two subdivision approvals allow the applicants to move to final plat steps and continue building-permit work; the Retail Center rezoning recommendation will be considered by the City Council on Feb. 25.
