This property was rezoned C-2H via BOS Resolution No. 95-207 on May 1, 1995. The Mohave County General Plan designates this area as a Rural Development Area and is designated an Outlying Community. However, the General Plan designates 1-15 as a scenic highway. Goal #9 and the accompanying policies and implementation measures state that Mohave County will preserve, protect and enhance scenic routes. At their October 2, 1995 meeting, the Board of Supervisors stated that the control of off-premise signs was an important factor in protecting and preserving scenic routes, and WHEREAS, a review ofFEMA FIRM Panel #040058-0025B indicates the parcel described to be in Zone C, not in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and WHEREAS, the proposed location meets the zoning and spacing requirements for an off-premise sign. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) requires the off-premise sign to be located within 1,000 feet of an established commercial business. A small commercial center is being planned on this location by the property owner, Sharon Bell, and WHEREAS, the following described Findings of Fact are for the above captioned item: a. All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations. b. The proposed action and the effect on the property does not comply with the Mohave County General Plan. ~ . .

Based upon guidance from the Board of Supervisors, off-premise signs in areas designated as Scenic Routes by the General Plan do not comply with the plan. Interstate 15 is a designated Scenic Route. 2. This Zoning Use Permit for an off-premise sign will devaluate the surrounding property. 3. At this time there is not a commercial business within 1000 feet of the proposed off-premise sign.
