Bullhead City panel approves preliminary plat for 155-home 'Residences at Parkside' in City Center District

The Bullhead City Planning and Zoning Commission on June 5 voted 5-0 to approve the preliminary plat for the Residences at Parkside, a roughly 20-acre subdivision in the City Center District that would create 155 single-family residential lots.

The approval allows the developer to proceed to the final plat stage, which includes submitting detailed improvement drawings. Planning staff described the project as the first plat proposed for the city's City Center development and said zoning for the site was already set by prior approvals.

Planning staff member Johnny said the parcel under review is approximately 20 acres and that the preliminary plat would create 155 single-family residential lots. He told commissioners this is the first step in the platting process and that a separate final plat and improvement drawings will follow.

During discussion, a commissioner asked about setback measurements, noting the plat lists a 20-foot front setback and a 5-foot side setback and asked why a 10-foot figure appears on the sheet. Staff clarified the 10-foot figure applies to corner lots as the exterior street-side setback.

There was no public comment on the item. A commissioner made a motion to approve the preliminary plat S25-001 (Residences at Parkside); a second was recorded, and the vote was 5 in favor, motion carries.

Next steps for the developer include preparing and submitting the final plat and required improvement drawings for staff review and commission consideration. The preliminary approval does not authorize construction; it advances the platting process under the city's review requirements.
