WHEREAS, current land use records indicate nine (9) lots are
occupied. The current area plan indicates five (5) of these lots
are designated for commercial use and three (3) lots fronting
Highway 95 have been zoned C-2H (Highway Commercial). An
approved single family subdivision exists directly to the north
in Bullhead City. An El Paso Gas Pipeline easement exists within
the Sterling Road right-of-way. Section 15 to the west has
approximately twenty (20) acres designated and zoned for C-MO
(Commercial Manufacturing/Open Lot Storage) uses which would
border the southern part of the area under consideration, and
WHEREAS, the applicant who initiated this request owns two
(2) lots on the northern edge of this section and desires a C-MO
land use designation. A public meeting to gather input from
property owners in the section was held on February 19, 1992 at
the Fort Mohave Elementary School on Joy Lane. Twel ve people
were in attendance including the applicant and his
representative. No opposition was expressed from those in
attendance. Approximately nine lot owners have indicated their
desire to also have their property designated for potential
commercial land uses, and
Co
WHEREAS, the location of this proposed commercial use will
have a profound impact on traffic patterns and overall traffic
safety. The proposed access is at the top of the slope of the
hill as traffic enters the county area and additional traffic

could pose a safety hazard.

Consequently, the planning staff
asked for comments from Arizona Department of Transportation
(ADOT) indicating their concerns and possible steps to mitigate.
In addition, the planning staff asked El Paso Natural Gas for
comments regarding the improvement of proposed access to this
site.
Bullhead City Planning & Building Department comments:
1. The General Plan Update and zoning regulations show the
area adjacent to the subject tract as various types of
single family and multiple family residential. We do
not anticipate a change in these designations.
2 .
The site inspection results in the most significant
findings. The topography of the general area is
definitely varied and a natural buffer exists along
Sterling Road. This buffer is created by distinct
changes in elevation between the north and south sides
of Sterling Road. Grading along this section line
should be kept to a minimum to protect the current
separation.

". ../
3. Also in regards to topography, Sterling Road does not
appear to be a viable ingress/egress into either area.
Other alternatives should probably be considered.
In summary, we believe that the elevation differences
created by the topography of the area will act as a buffer.
A natural separation will occur between what develops within
the city limits and that which results immediately adjacent
in the county. Thus, upon further consideration of the
proposal, we do not have any objections to the request for
C-MO.
Arizona Department Of Transportation comments:
" . .. ADOT has no objection to this area plan amendment but
we do have concerns regarding truck and/or' other commercial
access to S.R. 95.
. .-:~
Our focus will be on implementing local street systems to
limit highway access to intersecting streets rather than
individual access for each business site.
We encourage the applicants to meet with us as soon as
possible in order to facilitate access permits."

WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting
on April 8, 1992 did recommend APPROVAL of the amendment to the
South Mohave Valley Area Plan to allow
for commerc ial
manufacturing open lot storage uses in a portion of Section 14,
Township 19 North, Range 22 West lying west of Highway 95
contingent upon the following conditions:
1. Use and development of Sterling Road shall be
coordinated with El Paso Natural Gas Company and ADOT.
2. Efforts shall be made to retain the natural buffer
between Sections 10 & 14. If necessary additional man
made buffers may need to be established.
3. The amendment will be in effect for all of Section 14
lying west of Highway 95.
4. Establishment of a special building setback of fifty
(50') feet from the centerline of Sterling, Dunlap and
Gardner Roads and forty (40') feet from the centerline
of Arcadia Lane. This setback will provide for
possible right-of-way expansion of roads within the
section to sixty (60') feet.
5. Further study with ADOT be initiated to determine the
best traffic access to this area before further
commercial development occurs.
6. This information be considered in the current County
plan update.
WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in the Kingman
Daily Miner, a newspaper of general circulation in Kingman,
Mohave County, Arizona on April 19, 1992, and in the Mohave
Valley News, and posted April 17, 1992 as required by Arizona
Revised Statutes and Mohave County Zoning Regulations.
