PROVIDE FOR A CHANGE IN THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE NE¼ NE¼ OF
SECTION 10, TOWNSHIP 21 NORTH, RANGE 18 WEST FROM A-R (AGRICULTURAL-
RESIDENTIAL) TO C (COMMERCIAL), IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY AREA, MOHAVE
COUNTY, ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on April 6,
1998, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted to amend the
Sacramento Valley (Golden Valley) Area Plan to allow for commercial development on the above- described
property as requested by Tommie Recco and Priscilla Moker Robertson of Moline, Illinois, being
represented by Robert A. Leblanc of Kingman, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, this property is located north of State Highway 68 between Aztec Road and Adobe
Road. The site is accessed from State Highway 68 via north on Aztec Road to the site, located on the
southwest comer of Aztec Road and Chino Drive. The property is vacant and the terrain is relatively flat,
sloping slightly to the southwest. The surrounding land uses consist of vacant land and several scattered
single-family residences. The eastem fork of the "Thirteen Mile Wash" crosses the southeast comer of the
property, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission is required by state law to recommend to the
Board of Supervisors a General Plan or Area Plans which recommend conserving natural resources, ensure
efficient expenditure of public funds, and promote the health, safety, and convenience, and general welfare
of the public, and
WHEREAS, the Sacramento Valley Area Plan was adopted on April 7, 1980, via BOS Resolution
No. 1457. This was in response to the Board of Supervisors desire to revise Mohave County's original
General Plan, adopted in 1965, to provide Master Plans for each of the nine (9)newly-established study
areas, of which the Sacramento Valley was included and is a discrete part. Since that time, the Area Plan
has been revised 18 times. Ten of these revisions involved the insertion of new commercial uses ranging
from 1.3 acres to 600 acres in size. The Sacramento Valley Area Plan has not been revised since September
1992. The proposal will convert approximately 40 acres from its current A-R (Agricultural-Residential) land
use designation to a C (Commercial) land use designation, and

WHEREAS, this site will be served by the Golden Valley Fire Department. Electricity will be
supplied by Citizens Utilities. Adequate fire flows (water) can be provided by the Valley Pioneer Water
Company with the extension of the existing 12" diameter line located at the comer of Aztec Road and Chino
Drive. Access roads to the site are currently bladed and maintained to the County's native material standard.
Traffic counts for the Aztec Road/Chino Drive intersection totaled more than 800 trips per day in 1994. A
shopping center of 50,000 square feet is estimated to generate 4,600 trips per day based on Table 820 of
Institute of Transportation Engineers' manual of Trip Generation, 5th ed. Approximately 75% of these trips
will pass through the Aztec Road/Chino Drive intersection. The increased traffic loads caused by this
development will necessitate the improving of these roads to a paved standard and shall be a condition of
the companion rezone, and
