Lake Havasu is updating its development code to lock in guaranteed public shoreline access and view corridors along the island and Body Beach. The new rules require a 75-foot shoreline buffer and 25-foot building setbacks on future developments, ensuring the public won't get locked out of the waterfront as land changes hands.
