Mesa City Council approves consent agenda, clears two Haven developments
Summary
The Mesa City Council approved its consent agenda and unanimously passed zoning and plan amendments for the Haven at Hawes and Haven at Destination developments during its May 4, 2026 meeting; the council also continued one item to June 1, 2026.
The Mesa City Council on May 4 approved its consent agenda and unanimously approved land-use actions to advance two developments branded "Haven." Council members voted to adopt routine contract awards, liquor-license actions and grant-related items, and to move forward with annexation and zoning approvals for the Haven at Hawes and Haven at Destination projects.
City staff member Kevin presented the consent package, which included approval of prior meeting minutes; liquor-license applications for Sports Lounge (2050 W. Guadalupe Rd.) and AW Smoke Shop (1232 E. Southern Ave.); multi-year contracts for pavement and marking materials and traffic paint; generator rental and generator purchase and installation services; and the one-year use of a cooperative contract for a statewide fire incident management system for Mesa Fire and Medical, funded by grant reimbursement. Kevin also listed resolutions to submit the City of Mesa annual action plan to HUD and to process a substantial amendment related to an American Rescue Plan Act allocation.
Vice Mayor Summers moved to approve the consent agenda with a continuance of item 7a to the June 1, 2026 council meeting; the motion passed and the mayor announced it carried unanimously. The council then held and closed public hearings with no speakers for two related zoning and plan cases: annexation and major plan amendment for the proposed Haven at Hawes and a major plan amendment and zoning case for the proposed Haven at Destination. The council approved both items by motion and the mayor announced unanimous passage.
The actions clear the listed contracts and regulatory steps to proceed with procurement and with the affected land-use entitlements; no member of the public spoke on either Haven proposal during the hearings. The city clerk noted no requests to speak during those hearings. The council did not provide additional detail in the public record about conditions or developer commitments during the meeting.
What happens next: the continuance of item 7a is scheduled for the June 1, 2026 council meeting; staff will proceed with contract execution and follow the normal permitting and implementation processes for the approved zoning actions.
