Staff previews general plan update workshops, health fair outreach and meeting schedule

City planning staff told the Lake Havasu City Planning and Zoning Commission on July 16 that the city’s general plan amendment update team held two workshops last week that drew "approximately 50 to 60 people," and that consultants will attend a back‑to‑school health fair at the Aquatic Center this Saturday to collect additional public input. Staff said the consultant will use public input gathered at the workshops when preparing the next steps of the general plan update and that the commission can expect a more in‑depth staff update tentatively scheduled for Sept. 17. "Got a lot of good information from everybody, that the consultant is gonna use when preparing the next step of the plan," staff said. Staff also announced the commission’s next meeting on Aug. 6, 2025, and said the Aug. 22 meeting is being canceled because no cases are scheduled; some items originally under consideration were postponed into September. No public testimony was offered on those announcements. Why it matters: The general plan guides long‑range land‑use decisions; public workshops and outreach events are primary ways for residents to shape future land‑use policy.
