The Lake Havasu City Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday recommended approval of four related land-use requests affecting parcels adjacent to the Lake Havasu City Golf Course, voting 7–0 on each item.

Trevor Kearns, a city staff member, told the commission that the first pair of actions concerns 2400 Wood Lane, where the property owner purchased an adjoining portion of the golf-course parcel and seeks to align the future land-use map and zoning so the combined lot can be used for residential purposes. "The subject property is on Wood Lane, south of Hogan Lane," Kearns said, and staff noted the general-plan amendment is the first step before a rezone and that both items are scheduled for the City Council meeting on Dec. 9, 2025.

Stuart Schmeling, the applicant's representative, told the commission he represents the property owners for all four actions. "I'm here representing both property owners for all 4 of your actions today," Schmeling said, describing the requests as straightforward steps to permit residential uses and accessory structures on the acquired golf-course portions of the lots.

The commission first recommended approval of ID 25-5001, a minor general-plan amendment to change about 2,810 square feet at 2400 Wood Lane from open space and park to low-density residential, on a motion by Vice Chair Tiffany Wilson that was seconded by JP Thornton; the recommendation passed 7–0. The companion rezone, ID 25-5002, would change the same roughly 2,810-square-foot portion from golf-course zoning to Residential Estates (RE) to allow residential setbacks and uses; the commission recommended approval on a 7–0 vote.

The second pair of requests concerns 1955 Palmer Drive. Staff said the applicant attached an adjacent area of former golf-course land to the residential parcel in 2024, creating split designations. The commission recommended approval of ID 25-5003, a minor general-plan amendment to change approximately 3,010 square feet from open space and park to low-density residential, and then recommended approval of ID 25-5004, the companion rezone to Residential Estates, both by unanimous 7–0 votes. Staff noted a citizens meeting on May 16, 2025, where four neighbors attended; there were no public comments at Wednesday’s hearing.
