For a great weekend, consider reserving one of Rotary Park's twenty-eight medium and small robotas for a great day and barbecue in the park right along the beach.

Those looking for a venue to host a large party or gathering should consider one of Rotary's two large Ramadas, each equipped with power and water.

Rotary Park is located at twenty-three fifteen Balboa Drive in Bullhead City and is open from four thirty AM to eleven PM daily.

Hello, my name is John Traquato, and I work for the City of Bullhead City in the wastewater division.

I'm here to remind you and to stress that there are only three things that should be disposed of in the sewer system.

One human waste, two, toilet paper, and three gray water.

Please do not flush any disposable or non-disposable wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, napkins, or any other paper or non-paper products.

As this will cause a main meeting for the planning and zoning commission.

And our discussion for today is architectural standards, discussion only regarding architectural standards to the to include architectural styles, design elements, colors, etc.

And commercial zoning districts.

Let me know if there's one where you want to stop, if you have specific ideas about one of these categories, we can make notes, you know, for a future actual code amendment proposal.

Um but if we start, you know, the very first point there's uh a we need to talk about which zoning districts which areas this would apply to.

So other cities apply it everywhere.

Uh some exclude industrial areas.

Uh again, ours only includes metal buildings that are visible from the arterials.

So um I think the intention of a council, the council member that brought it forward was that this would apply at least in commercial areas, um, because those are the areas where you have they're they are at the entrance of neighborhoods, not so much industrial.

Um those typically are kind of set aside further away, you're not driving by an industrial building to get your to your house per se.

So anybody have any thoughts on whether we say applies to all commercial, applies to all excluding industrial.

My main concern as a small business owner, if you put too many restrictions on somebody who's planning to put a building like this up, are they going to be able to afford to have the building?

I'm looking in the future to have a building like this.

Um obviously I would want it to look nice as a chiropractor.

I don't want it to be not nice.

But for those that maybe aren't necessarily health care or service related, is it going to put a damper on us getting new new businesses to open?

So not that I'm not against this.

I think we should have codes, but that's one of my questions is how broad do we want to make this so that we're not shooting ourselves as a city in the foot either.

Right, that's a factor because I know there's at least a couple of contractors here.

There's a cost associated with these things, right?

Anything we do, there's an increased building cost.

Um if you're talking of site built building, I think they wouldn't be impacted that much because they already have typically you know parapet walls and and uh pop-outs and reveals and things like that that break up the the facade a little bit.

I think this will really impact metal buildings.

So contractors who build storage buildings who build uh there's a lot of kind of single use single user private garages that are going up.

Hancock marina, some of the old bullhead, those would be impacted because they are on arterials, so they would definitely fall within the areas that would require this.

Um and most other areas like we talked about allow metal buildings, but primary materials can't be metal, they have to be stucco brake blocks, something like that.

So um other thoughts on location, zoning districts.

I mean definitely in the the residential areas where like Fox Creek.

Definitely areas like that, I think are but that's more than an arterial, that's not an arterial, is it?

It's not so obviously we have to go further than arterials, I believe.

So that's C2, it's just a regular C2 zoning district, and that's most of the commercial in town is C2.

Uh probably ninety percent of it is C2.

So that would affect that was the answer to my question then.

Okay.

Right.

Yeah.

I agree with everything you said about about limiting growth, and we don't want to do that.

There is a house on Arcadia.

It's a giant metal building, it's one of those barnadiniums or whatever the heck they're called.

It is uglier and thin, and I if I were their neighbors, I would be really upset because there is zero features to it.

Nothing, it's just a big metal building.

So I almost think that at least for a primary residence, you know, if it's if it's in the back half of your acre and nobody can see it, then fine a metal building.

But if that's your primary residence, it should have should have some sort of features and design to it, not just a big metal building.

So that'd be a separate issue, but we could definitely include it as part of a code amendment because this is this only deals with commercial, but there are other jurisdictions that do have some standards for residential.

And you're right, we that's becoming a more popular idea.

The barn dominiums we get calls probably several times a week, and it'll just be a big box.

And unless you're in an HOA, which wouldn't allow it, they'd be allowed pretty much on any other residential lot in the city.

Um and we don't have that many yet, but they are becoming more popular.

Okay.

So um anybody else?

Any thoughts on commercial versus industrial versus residential?

Well, my belief is that um all commercial property should be held to higher standards.

100%.
