The Lake Havasu City Planning & Zoning Commission won't be hearing about the Waterfront development this Wednesday after all. The project's rep has called for a timeout officially, a continuance pushing back the public airing of plans for the old Island Golf Course land. So, the experts are still tweaking their presentations, and City Hall's getting a breather before it jumps into the deep end of community debate.
Because of the delay, according to an article on the Lake Havasu City website, there won't be any presentation from City staff, nor any decisions made at the November 5 meeting. That time has been penciled in for December 3, at 9:00 a.m., in the Lake Havasu City Council Chambers, located at 92 Acoma Boulevard South.
Interest is high given that the plans at stake are a major shift for the swath of land in question. Two cases are on the docket: Case PZ2025-00111, a request to change about 90.5 acres from a green space to a grab-bag of resort, residential, and Plaza-style uses. And case PZ2025-00112, which targets the same chunk of land for a switch-up from a golf haven to a mix of beachy resort and planned homes and shops.
The official notice on the Lake Havasu City website urges locals to drop by the next hearing or follow online, saying, "These hearings will be re-noticed in accordance with City Code, and all interested community members are encouraged to attend or follow the meeting online." Seems like the Council Chambers are set to be standing-room-only come December, with plenty of opinions to go around—and likely, not a few disputes about what should go where at The Waterfront.
For those needing more info or wishing to read up before the meeting, they can contact the Lake Havasu City Planning Division. It's a case of watch this space, the December date approaching, and with it, the prospect of a reshaped lake edge that could redefine Lake Havasu living for generations to come.
