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.

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.
