While metro Phoenix and Tucson may get 99% of the attention, no part of the state is immune to the need for more housing units and greater density, as illustrated by two cases in Lake Havasu City this month.
The first proposal would put 87 new units on 2.6 acres on South McCulloch Blvd., while the second would rezone five acres of an overall 22-acre site that was originally planned for resort development to now allow for multifamily at up to eight units per acre.

Project representative Iris Development Services, PLLC is requesting a General Plan amendment and rezoning of 2.6 acres at South McCulloch Blvd. and Delta Drive from Limited Commercial to Residential Multiple-Family/Planned Development for an 87-unit multifamily development called Delta Apartments.
The planned mix calls for 54 one-bedroom, 24 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom units, all in a three-story building of fewer than 30 feet in height. According to the letter of intent accompanying the submission, “The owner/developer is a local construction contractor who has deep roots in the Lake Havasu area and is looking to provide much needed housing opportunities for the workforce rental market.”
