Zoning Ordinance requires that R V spaces, for other than compact or overnight use, contain
a minimum of 1,400 square feet, and
WHEREAS, this Petition of Exception is submitted as a request that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend to the Board of Supervisors the granting of these exceptions from the Mohave
County Zoning Ordinance as outlined in Section 27.1.5 with the following justifications:
I. Back-in RV space width less than 25 feet:
A. The granting of this exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other adjacent properties because:
. The project is self-contained and enclosed from adjacent properties by retaining walls
and screen walls. The width of22 feet rather than 25 feet will not be detrimental to
or impact other properties. This project as a whole should increase the value of
adjacent properties.
B. The request will not nullifY the intent and purpose of the Master Plan of the County
or other regulations because:
. No regulations regarding 500 angular spaces currently exist. The regulations found
in the Zoning Ordinance are based on perpendicular RV spaces. Angular spaces
require less width and turning radius than perpendicular spaces for parking
recreational vehicles.
C. The special circumstances or conditions affecting said property are as follows:
. Angular RV spaces do not require a 25-foot width for parking. Twelve feet is
provided for a concrete RV pad and ten feet for vehicle parking. This design was
used on the 500-unit Boomtown RV Park in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in many other
parks in the Southwest.
2. Back-in RV space depth less than 45 feet and pull-through RV 1!J)ace deoth less than 50 feet:
A. The granting of this exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other adjacent properties because:
. The project is self-contained and enclosed from adjacent properties by retaining walls
and screen walls. Back-in RV space depths of 40 feet rather than 45 feet will not be
detrimental to or impact other properties. Pull-through RV space depths of 45 feet
rather than 50 feet will not be detrimental to or impact other properties. This project
as a whole should increase the value of adjacent properties.

B. The request will not nullify the intent and purpose of the Master Plan of the County
or other regulations because:
. No regulations regarding 500 angular spaces currently exist. The regulations found
in the Zoning Ordinance are based on perpendicular RV spaces. Angular spaces
require less depth and turning radius than perpendicular spaces for parking
recreational vehicles.
C. The special circwnstances or conditions affecting said property are as follows:
. Angular RV spaces do not require 45-foot or 50-foot depths for parking. Over 50
feet of depth, measured parallel to the RV lot lines, is provided for a concrete RV
pad and 19 feet for automobile parking in both instances. This design was used on
the 500-unit Boomtown RV Park in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in many other parks in
the Southwest.
3. RV spaces containinllless than 1.400 square feet:
A. The granting of this exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other adjacent properties because:
. The project is self-contained and enclosed from adjacent properties by retaining walls
and screen walls. The proposed RV space areas of 1,148 square feet and 1,292
square feet will not be detrimental or impact other properties. This project as a whole
should increase the value of adjacent properties.
B. The request will not nullify the intent and purpose of the Master Plan of the County
or other regulations because:
. The Ordinance's existing 1,400 square foot area requirement does not conform to the
existing width and depth requirements. When multiplying the minimwn width by
minimwn depth, the area required would be 1,125 square feet and not 1,400 square
feet. The regulations found in the Zoning manual are based on perpendicular RV
spaces. Angular spaces require less width and turning radius than perpendicular
spaces for parking recreational vehicles.
C. The special circwnstances or conditions affecting said property are as follows:
. Angular RV spaces do not require a 1,400 square foot area for parking. Twelve feet
is provided for a concrete RV pad and ten feet for vehicle parking. This design was
used on the 500-unit Boomtown RV Park in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in many other
