Lake Havasu City planning staff: draft existing‑conditions report complete, public outreach to continue in July

Planning staff reported progress on Lake Havasu City's general‑plan update at the June 4 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, saying the draft existing‑conditions report is complete and public outreach will continue through July.

Planning staff said the draft existing‑conditions report has been completed and that the technical advisory committee will review it for feedback in the coming weeks. Staff said the final version should be available for public review in July and will be shared with the commission when ready.

Staff reported that, as of May 21, the first public questionnaire had received "758 responses," with roughly 78% of responses coming from Lake Havasu City and the remainder coming from 61 different cities in two countries. Staff noted outreach efforts have reached snowbirds, second homeowners and year‑round residents, and that Logan Simpson (the consultant) and planning staff are finalizing dates for a steering‑committee kickoff and a first open house in July. The staff update closed with a reminder that the questionnaire remained live and encouraged participation.

The report on the general plan update was given as a correspondence/announcement item during the meeting; no formal action was taken by the commission on the general plan at this session. Staff also noted the next Planning and Zoning meeting scheduled for June 18 was canceled and that the next regular meeting would be July 2, when additional items may be considered.
