English Village Zoning Approved

LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - Another step forward regarding the future of the English Village took place at Tuesday night’s Lake Havasu City Council meeting. However, everyone wasn’t happy about it, thus a 5-2 decision by the council. The vote allows owner/developer Chris Read to legally have 80% residential and 20% commercial zoning, and go vertical with a total of 5 stories in mind. The condition of his property in the north end of the village has a dismal appearance and he can now zero in on the specificity of his plans. Councilmen Dennis Schilling and Allan Sturtevant voted no on the issue. Both wanted more specific plans from Read on his goals. However, Councilwoman/Vice Mayor Margaret Nyberg told TSN “hopefully we will see something in the next few months.” She strongly supported giving Read the ok. “It probably will be more like 30%” commercial. She says a restaurant will happen and that “time shares” will probably be built, giving the city a better deal on taxes.
