Applicant: Mychal Gorden
Owner: Summerlin Asset Management
Staff Project Manager: Stuart Schmeling
Current/Proposed Zoning: C-2, General Commercial
Existing/Proposed Use: 63 unit storage complex
Proposed Number Lots/Units: 63
PROPERTY AND APPLICATION BACKGROUND:
A grading permit was issued on March 30, 2015, for the grading of the property. A building permit was issued on June 15, 2015. To date, the units are not complete. The applicant has requested a condominium subdivision plat be approved to allow for the airspace division of 63 units to be sold/owned as condominiums.
An association of the unit owners will be created to maintain all common aspects of the development as required and outlined in Section 13.24.100 of the Lake Havasu City Subdivision Code.
SITE ANALYSIS:
The subject property was rezoned to C-2, General Commercial, in September, 2014. The 2.35 acre site includes 63 storage units, an office, parking, and a storm water retention basin.
FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR SUBDIVISIONS:
Section 13.24.110 of the Subdivision Code allows the existing development to be converted to a condominium as long as the existing development meets all applicable Development Code and Subdivision Code provisions. In addition, Section 13.24.120 requires that all existing buildings shall comply with all codes and ordinances, current at the time of conversion and all existing developments proposed for conversion to condominiums shall meet all requirements and standards as set forth in this chapter.
The Subdivision Code provisions and the Development Code provisions (parking, lot coverage, building height, etc.) were met with the original construction of the development and those approvals are still valid at the time of this request. In addition, the buildings meet all applicable building and fire codes. The buildings will be constructed with a fire suppression system.
