RESOLUTION NO. 92-194
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MOHAVE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN, KINGMAN
AREA PLAN, McCONNICO ELEMENT SOUTH OF THE KINGMAN CI'l'Y LIMITS,
BEING SECTIONS 25-27 AND 33-36, TOWNSHIP 21 NORTH, RANGE 17 WEST,
AND SECTIONS 3-10, 15-22 AND 27-34, TOWNSHIP 20 NORTH, RANGE 17
WEST, MORAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board
of Supervisors held on June 1 1992, a public hearing was
conducted to amend the Mohave County General Plan, Kingman Area
Plan, McConnico element, for that portion of the unincorporated
area of Mohave County south of the Kingman City limits, being
Sections 25-27 and 33-36, Township 21 North, Range 17 West, and
Sections 3-10, 15-22 and 27-34, Township 20 North, Range 17 West,
and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Co~nission is required to
recommend to the Board of Supervisors a County land use General
Plan which is designed to conserve natural resources, to insure
efficient expenditure of public funds, and promote the health,
safety, convenience, and general welfare of the public, and
WHEREAS, during the late 1970's and early 1980's, a series
of Area plans were proposed and developed as compliments to or
are more detailed expansions of the Mohave County Plan, accepted
"

as a portion of the Mohave County Planning Ordinance, Ordinance
306, which was approved September 7, 1965, and
WHEREAS, Arizona Revised Statutes (11-824) designate that
"the Board may adopt the County Plan as a whole, or by successive
actions adopt separate parts of the plan...".
Area Plans were
developed and adopted for the Lake Havasu area, north westerly of
Lake Havasu City; Mohave Valley North (most of which is within
Bullhead City); and Sacramento (Golden) Valley.
During the same
time period, an ambitious Area Plan was proposed for the Kingman
area.
Research and meetings were prepared and conducted; but
nothing was completed, and
WHEREAS, within the boundaries of that proposed plan, a
certain number of activities have subsequently occurred. The
major ones are as follows:
1) Expansion of the Kingman City limits.
2) Special zoning, management and transfer of title at the
Airport.
3) Completion of Interstate 40.
4) Extensive transfer of Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
land to private ownership.
5) Industrial growth at the Airport and along Interstate
40, south of Kingman.
6) Approval of a ten (10) square mile Area Plan, known as
Hualapai Mountain Ranch, adjacent to and including the
Valley Vista subdivision.
7 )
Approval of a Kingman Area Plan north of
Avenue, from Stockton Hill Road to Highway 66.

8) Preparation for the Long Mountain Area Plan extending
North between the Cerbat Mountains and "old" Highway
66, tying into the Hualapai Mountain Ranch plan.
9) Activity in the area served by Hualapai Mountain Road.
10) Activity South of Kingman:
A. Industrial growth
B. Subdivision activity
C. Extensive land transfer from BLM to private
ownership.
WHEREAS, it is the last item mentioned, Item 10, that is the
focus of this resolution.
Because it is centered in the
McConnico area, that name will be used for the Area Plan change.
For the sake of continuity of plan area, the McConnico plan will
extend from the southern City limits, Sections 25-27 and Sections
33-36, all in Township 21 North, Range 17 West and Sections 3-10,
15-22 and 27-34, in Township 20 North, Range 17 West.
The plan
area is slightly more than four (4) miles wide, East to West, and
approximately eight ( 8) miles North and South.
It abuts the
Kingman City limits on the north, the proposed regional park on
the Northwest to the Golden Valley Area Plan on the west, a solid
block of BLM administered land on the East, and a continuation of
mixed land ownerships to the South, and
WHEREAS, this area, contiguous to Kingman, has had an
independent development pattern.
It is in the mouth of Railroad
Pass and has served as a terminal for many activities. McConnico

Station was an early A&P railroad station and was a freight and
passenger stop for local mines and ranches. When a spur line was
extended to Chloride, it started at McConnico and went up Golden
Valley to maintain "railroad grades".
Old Trails Highway
followed the railroad to McConnico, then onto Yucca and Topock.
This described route became Route 66, but in the 1930's the route
designation of 66 branched off at McConnico. Later, in 1952, the
66 Route returned to the Old Trails Highway route.
Interstate 40
has since replaced the function of Highway 66.
McConnico was
always a part of Highway 66 regardless of the branch taken, and
WHEREAS, long before Europeans came to this area, "Railroad
Pass" was part of an extensive Indian trade route.
It was a gap
in the mountains and there were year round springs.
The first
Spanish priest in the area, was guided through this route in
1776.
This passage became the route of the Transcontinental
railroad.
Other utilities found the same conveniences of grade,
so that two trans-state pipelines (Transwestern and Four Corners)
cross here to go through Sitgreaves Pass and the Davis/prescott
power line also traverses this plan area, and
WHEREAS, land ownership is the usual Mohave County pattern,
with (i. e. checkerboard ownership) local adjustments.
At the
present time, it is private (fee) or BLM. Two State sections lie
on the northeasterly boundary, and are not included in this
specific
plan.

thereby the need for this plan is a proposed exchange of BLM
lands, constituting six (6) square miles.
The result of this
exchange will be a block of fourteen (14) square miles of fee
land served by Interstate 40 and the Santa Fe Railroad, and
WHEREAS, existing zoning remains a complex pattern along old
Highway 66 and the frontage roads north of McConnico interchange.
Many commercial uses related to prior access onto old Highway 66
are now vacant or serving other purposes. Several mobile home/R-
V parks continue to function. A sand drag race track is a newer
use (1987) as well as several truck stops or truck terminals.
The zoning, southeasterly of the Santa Fe right-of-way and
southeasterly of Oatman Road, is A-R/36A in Sections 4 and 5,
Township 20 North, Range 17 West.
The A (General) zone remains
except for specific rezones. There are twenty nine (29) separate
structures used as residences in this planning area other than in
organized subdivisions.
Walnut Creek Estates subdivisions are
zoned A-R and contain sixty eight (68) homes.
All of the
recorded Walnut Creek residential lots are greater than one (1)
acre and would be classified suburban in the proposed plan.
Additional one (1) acre lot subdividing in the Walnut Creek area
is in process, and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Land Management, Kingman Resource
area management plan
indicates
two
( 2 )
utility corridor
boundaries through this area.

includes the Davis/Prescott power line and goes through the heart
of this plan area; however, a "corridor" can only be maintained
if the BLM has administrative control over an area. A second two
(2) mile wide corridor touches the southwest corner of the plan
area, following the EI Paso Natural Gas line route.
The two
other pipelines that are not shown in a corridor are otherwise
mentioned in this report, and
WHEREAS, at present, water supply to this area is limited to
a few wells, very limited supply from Kingman "excess" water and
a franchised water company for part of the Walnut Creek
subdivisions.
The Walnut Creek water company has local wells,
and a well site parcel in Golden Valley.
Adequate water for
extensive development has not been located within the plan area.
Water has been proven to exist in Sacramento (Golden) Valley. A
few miles to the west, numerous five (5) acre well sites were
reserved by the City of Kingman in Sacramento Valley and a
possibility for agreement for development of some of those well
sites is one consideration, and
WHEREAS, a prominent feature of the area is the open sewer
ponds established by the City of Kingman more than forty (40)
years ago and still in use.
These tanks have obviously impacted
the ground water table for those properties which lie within the
drainage pattern from these sewage tanks.
These properties
exhibi t an abnormally high nitrate level which has d~g:t::ated eJ.ot

sizes of one (1) acre or more per lot for "Walnut Creek"
developments, and
WHEREAS, for planning purposes this area is divided into a
number of units that are either formed by physiographic features
or man made barriers or features. The physiographic features are
the series of canyons and their related washes that constitute
the
approach to Kingman,
the drainage channels
and the
mountainous
terrain.
These
physiographic
features
are
instrumental in determining the location of highways, railroads,
and utility lines.
The latter are the second set of
determinants.
The man made feature that has dominated this area
for a century is the Santa Fe Railroad. When the Santa Fe double
tracked their system in the 1940's, the East bound lines were
separate to create an easier grade.
This line separation has
created a pocket of land which includes an area of nearly one (1)
mile wide and three (3) miles long.
The distinct planning areas
are:
1. The area, including the interchange area, north of the
McConnico Interchange and westerly of the Santa Fe
right-of-way
2. The area southwesterly of the McConnico interchange and
west of the Santa Fe right-of-way and accessible to
Oatman Road (old 66).
3. The area easterly of the McConnico Interchange and
Interstate 40 to the easterly plan area boundary.
4. The remainder of the township along Interstate 40 and
the Santa Fe.

WHEREAS, the land ownership pattern for the plan area is an
intermix of private and BLM administered lands. However, a land
exchange in process between the BLM and private owners would
result in a consolidation of private lands about two (2) to three
(3) miles in width, and six (6) miles in depth, along the Santa
Fe Rail Road.
This plan proposal is being coordinated with the
BLM.
Existing land uses and existing zoning are fixed in some
locations by terrain and long established uses:
Planninq Unit One: This area is served by frontage roads.
The combination of terrain, rights-of-way, drain channels,
sewer ponds, mine claims, old property boundaries and old
commercial and industrial uses limit this area for any other
than similar purposes now in use and additional commercial
uses. This area should be the urban core, to include
shopping facilities, multifamily uses in addition to
existing patterns. All of this will be contingent on
adequate water supply and offsite sewage disposal. The
limits of the traffic interchange impact area would extend
approximately one quarter (~) mile South of the traffic
interchange road intersection with Oatman Road, extending to
McConnico Road (a subdivision road intersecting Oatman
Road). A line would then extend from the above referenced
McConnico Road projected to Interstate 40. Existing truck
service facilities are in this unit. This Planning Unit One
could become a neighborhood shopping center for properties
to the West, served by Oatman Road and for residential uses
wi thin this planning area. The location is too close to
Kingman to consider larger shopping facilities.
( "
The proposed plan for Golden Valley indicates an area of six
(6) square miles, directly West of McConnico, designated as
urban. All of the plan area West of Interstate 40 and the
McConnico interchange should be suburban, one (1) acre or
larger lot areas.

Planninq Unit Two: This unit has access from Interstate 40,
existing frontage roads and Oatman Road (old 66 from the
1930's to 1952). It abuts Planning Unit One on the
Northeast and includes single family lot subdivisions
recorded and in process. Because this is the only part of
this plan area sui table for res idential type development,
provisions should be made for adequate water supply and
sewage disposal. It is indicated as suburban (one to five
acre lots) on the proto plan recommended by the Commission
and approved by the Board of Supervisors. With the
availability of additional water there is no reason that
this area will not continue to grow as a complete
residential community. As example, walnut Creek Unit 3 is
being processed designated for community development (one
acre lots).
Planninq Unit Three: At present this planning uni t is
primarily a mixture of BLM and private lands. It lies east
of Interstate 40 and east of the west bound Santa Fe tracks.
A large portion of it lies between the east and west bound
Santa Fe rights-of-way which are approximately a mile apart
at this location. For this land to be economically and
functionally usable, it will require a major highway
ingress, egress, service roads, utilities, an assured water
supply and a method of sewage disposal compatible with uses
contemplated.
The most logical purpose of this planning unit is to be an
industrial area or one or more industrial parks, or remain
as is.
Al though this document is a plan and therefore does not
restrict use concepts in terms of the more rigid confines of
zoning terminology, it would be appropriate to keep in mind
the recently approved preamble to the Mohave County
Manufacturing Zones, as follows:
"The principal purpose of this zoning district is to provide
for general manufacturing uses in locations which are
suitable and appropriate, taking into consideration the land
uses on adjacent or nearby properties, access to major
street or highway, rail service or other means of
transportation, and the availability of public utili ties.
It is the intention of the Mohave County Board of
Supervisors to promote industrial growth that will benefit
the community and not subject it to unexpected hazards or
other conditions that would affect adversely the public
health, safety and general welfare."

Resolution No. 92-194
Page 10
Planning Unit Three is divided into 3a and 3b only because
3b has access problems separate from the northerly land
ownership complex designated for industrial development.
Planninq Unit Four is a possible reserve expansion area
should the need arise or it should remain as is for the
foreseeable planning time span for rural/future development.
Planninq Unit Five: To have any planning area flanked by a
number of regional type recreation facilities is a unique
circumstance. The uses delineate the limits of this
community area and provide recreational outlets. The
McConnico Planning Unit will also become the access to these
facilities and can provide improved roads and support
facilities for their use.
Unit Sa: A firing range was established at this
location more than twenty (20) years ago and will be a
community asset for as long as there is a need for it.
Unit 5b: This proposed regional park in the rugged
lava, basalt and tuff rocks westerly of Kingman was
first proposed in recent years in a Board of
Supervisors planning report dated March, 1967. The
concept again appeared in the 1970 Kingman plan and in
subsequent city plans and in current BLM proposals.
This is beyond the exterior boundary of the plan area
but forms an important future buffer to plan expansion.
Unit 5c: When Kingman was young, the extent of family
recreation was how far you could go with horse and
buggy on the dirt roads, refresh yourselves and the
horses and return before nightfall. A site of local
pilgrimage was Boulder Springs which lies in Section 16
(T20N, RI7W). It is an area of historical interest and
continues to flow as a spring. A plan recommendation
would be for the BLM to protect it as a historical and
recreational site. The BLM resource plan designates it
as a camp grounds.
WHEREAS, three (3) areas of Unit 5 be designated for
regional recreation, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting
on May 13, 1992 did recommend APPROVAL of the amendment of the
