Planning commission renews Revive Behavioral Health permit with amended security trigger
Summary
Bullhead City’s planning commission approved a six-year extension of Revive Behavioral Health’s conditional use permit and amended the security stipulation to exclude medical and non-safety calls from the automatic reinstatement trigger after staff review of police-dispatch data.
The Bullhead City Planning and Zoning Commission on July 2 voted to extend Revive Behavioral Health’s conditional use permit for six years and adopted an amendment that excludes medical and non-safety law-enforcement calls from the automatic-security reinstatement trigger.
Planner Johnny told the commission staff had reviewed the facility’s history and police-dispatch data and recommended approval with modified stipulations. Staff reported law enforcement had been dispatched to the facility 21 times in the last year; staff proposed that if records show an average of more than two qualifying calls per month over a six-month period, security would be required to be reinstated automatically unless law enforcement determined calls were medical or otherwise non-safety related.
Kristin Ott, representing Revive Behavioral Health, said the facility has operated for six years and asked the commission to clarify the security stipulation to exclude medical or non-violent calls. Ott said Revive has served approximately 2,500 residents over six years with roughly 830 graduates and that about 50–60 residents are on-site at a time (the facility is licensed for 90). “We do have residents that have medical issues,” Ott said, explaining many law-enforcement responses were medical in nature and that she would work with staff to review dispatch details.
Commissioners asked about capacity, average stay length (Ott said about 60 days, with some stays up to 150 days) and the facility’s referral sources (Mohave County, Kingman, courts and local health-home programs). Commissioners and staff agreed law enforcement should determine whether a call represents a safety issue for the purposes of the trigger, and one commissioner proposed—and the applicant accepted—language excluding medical or non-safety incidents from the automatic-count calculation. Staff added that, per the amendment, reinstatement of security would not require further commission action once the threshold is met.
After a motion that included the amended language, the clerk announced seven votes in favor and the motion carried. The commission’s action renews Revive’s CUP for six years with the clarified security condition; staff will monitor law-enforcement records to determine whether the reinstatement threshold is met.
