Summary
The Lake Havasu City Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6–1 to approve Resolution No. 26-02, amending the Track 2226 parking-in-common master plan to remove four parking spaces so two front-facing 14-foot garage doors can have vehicle access; staff attached three code-compliance conditions.
The Lake Havasu City Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 to 1 to approve Resolution No. 26-02, amending the Track 2226 parking-in-common master plan for 2795 Arcadia Drive to eliminate four parking spaces to allow access to front-facing garage doors.
City planner Mister Kearns told commissioners the corner property at Arcadia Drive and Kiowa Boulevard North sits between commercial and residential uses and that the existing parking-common plan shows 16 spaces. The owner obtained 100% approval from owners in the block for the amendment, and the applicant’s proposed layout would provide 15 spaces total — 14 regular stalls and one van-accessible ADA space — with two 14-foot garage doors facing Kiowa Boulevard North.
“I just wanted to add that this is for a contractor office and warehouse,” applicant Ivan Ben Court of Salberg Associates said, adding that the garage doors are proposed to provide vehicle access between the front of the building and rear accessory storage.
Commissioners asked staff to confirm parking requirements and the effect of parking-in-common reductions. Vice Chair Tiffany Wilson noted the plan on the drawing showed 14 spaces while the parking-common plan figure is 16; Kearns explained that shared parking plans can allow reductions and that the ADA van-accessible stall requires additional room.
Staff attached three code-compliance conditions to the approval: the development must substantially match the site plan attached as Exhibit A; the project must complete design review to ensure compliance with all applicable city codes (including driveway locations and parking) before development; and any deed restrictions that require amendment must be recorded with Mohave County.
The commission opened the public-hearing portion and received no public testimony before returning to the table for a motion. Commissioner Joan DeZurro moved to approve the resolution and the motion carried 6 to 1.
The approval allows the applicant to proceed to required design-review steps and to record any necessary deed-restriction amendments with Mohave County as part of the code-compliance process.
