C. Allow clusters of buildings on less than standard minimum lot size when a corresponding
eemtigl1Gl13 open or recreational area brings the total area to the minimum required under Section 25 of the
zoning regulations, and if provisions are made to insure that each lot owner has equal, undivided interest
in thc cefttigl1Gttl parcel. The proposed structures may be arranged individually, in groups or in
clusters without regard to lot areas for immediate density as long as an appropriate amount of land
to comply with overall minimum densities is provided under undividable joint ownership of all
property owners for recreation or open space.
The Board of Supervisors, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning
Commission, may allow one of the following land ownerships as an alternative to undividable joint
ownership for golf courses that are designed as an integral part of the development, provided that one
of the following criteria is met:
a. The amount of golf course land needed to comply with overall minimum densities is
protected by a conservation easement as permitted by law, including A.R.S. 33-271
through 33-276, and which is recorded to the benefit of Mohave County on a form
acceptable to the County and which restricts all development (except infrastructure
such as roads, etc.) on the area required to offset the increase in density.
b. In the absence of a conservation easement, the amount of golf course land used as offset
shall be ten times the amount needed to comply with overall minimum densities with
a written assurance by the subdivision developers and golf course owners, if different,
that deeds transferring lots will contain a disclosure that the golf course is privately
owned and the land use may change. Further, the disclosure shall state that the lot
owners will be noticed before the golf course converts to another use. The purpose of
the increase in open space acreage is to ensure that the density of the development is
not adversely impacted should the golf course be developed and not remain as
functional open space, and to ensure that the lot owners receive adequate disclosure
and notice.
