Summary

At its March 18 meeting, the Bullhead City Council voted unanimously on four agenda items: approval of a restaurant liquor license, a small zoning change, a general-plan amendment for 33.7 acres, and a well-completion and transmission main contract.

The Bullhead City Council on March 18 approved four separate agenda items, each by unanimous 7-0 votes: a restaurant liquor license application for Mioni’s Pizzeria, a zoning map change for a 0.17-acre parcel on Turquoise Road, a 33.7-acre general-plan amendment from regional commercial to medium-high-density residential, and a contract for a well-completion and transmission main project with K Constructors totaling up to $2,694,466.61.

Council opened and closed public hearings and took individual motions on each item. Staff recommended approval on the liquor-license application and planning items; no applicant representatives appeared for the liquor-license hearing. Planning staff said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the two land-use items by 6-0 votes. Engineers and utilities staff told council the well project attracted competitive bids and the winning bid was within engineering cost estimates.

Votes at a glance - Item 2 (Series 12 restaurant liquor license, job #319127, Mioni’s Pizzeria, 2350 Miracle Mile #306): motion to approve; outcome: approved, tally reported as 7 in favor.

Planning staff said the commission recommended approval 6-0. - Item 4 (Resolution 2025-R-9; minor general-plan amendment from Regional Commercial to Medium-High-Density Residential for ~33.7 acres west of Mohave Crossroads): motion to adopt; outcome: adopted, tally reported as 7 in favor. Staff noted future zoning and platting steps will trigger required traffic and drainage studies. - Item 5 (Contract award: 20-1 well completion and transmission main with K Constructors, not to exceed $2,694,466.61): motion to award; outcome: approved, tally reported as 7 in favor. Staff said two bids were received and the winning bid was within 5% of engineering estimates.

Council also approved a consent agenda and a procedural waiver motion to waive full reading of ordinances and resolutions (motion carried 7-0). No formal amendments or split votes were recorded on the items above.

The actions complete routine permitting, utility infrastructure, and land-use steps. The general-plan amendment (Item 4) is only the first step for the developer; staff said subsequent zoning map change, platting, and traffic/drainage studies will be required before construction.
