The Lake Havasu City Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on September 3, 2025, at 9:00 AM in the Council Chambers. Vice Chair Tiffany Wilson presided in the absence of Chair Jim Harris. The commission reviewed and recommended approval of a planned development rezone, approved minutes, received updates on recent City Council actions, and discussed upcoming meetings. Seven commissioners were present; three were absent with two vacancies, leading alternates Phil Annett and Lonnie Stevenson to join the dais.
Applicant: Sam Woods, Built Well Property: 0.82 acres at 2015 Moyo Drive (Tract 100, Block 1, Lots 1 and 2), currently zoned Residential-Commercial Health District (R-CHD). Proposal: Rezone to R-CHD/Planned Development and adopt a General Development Plan for nine two-story condominium-style homes with ground-floor garages. The project requires a reduction in minimum density from 15 dwelling units per acre (the current R-CHD minimum, set by City Council in 2022) to 10 dwelling units per acre. (Note: Staff stated the resulting density would be almost 11 units per acre based on 9 units on 0.82 acres, while the written minutes state approximately 10 units per acre; both figures fall within the General Plan’s High Density Residential range of 10–20 units per acre.)
No members of the public addressed the commission on non-agenda items.

The motion to approve the minutes passes seven to zero. Okay, on to our public hearing. This public hearing, this is a public hearing, and there is a structured order to this process. City staff will present each item. There will be time for the commission to ask questions of the staff, and the applicant will have the opportunity to present their case to the commission. Once that is done, we will open the public hearing to give community members an opportunity to ask questions or provide input. I ask that anyone who wishes to speak, limit their trips to the microphone to once per item and keep comments to less than five minutes. Please stay on point, refrain from discussing subject matter not pertinent to the item being considered. There will be an opportunity for the public to address the commission about other topics later in the meeting. After public testimony is taken, I will close the public hearing and bring the item back to the table for city staff's recommendation, further discussion amongst commission and eventually a motion to approve and disapprove. Mr. Gilbert. Thank you, madam chair.
