above-described property as requested by Roger W. Sayles, representing the Sayles Family Trusts of
Kingman, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, this property is located north of the City of Kingman and east of Stockton Hill Road.
The site is accessed from the City of Kingman via north on Stockton Hill Road to the site, bounded by
Stockton Hill Road on the western boundary, Bull Mountain Road on the eastern boundary, mad Cactus
Wren Road on the northern boundary. The property is vacant and the terrain is gently rolling hills, generally
sloping to the southeast. The surrounding land uses consist of vacant land and single-family residences.
There are several significant drainage patterns crossing this property from the northwest to the southeast,
and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests this zone change to allow for the proposed CEDAR RIDGE
ESTATES, Tract 3060, Subdivision. The applicant proposes to divide the 274-acre parcels into 38 lots
varying in size from 5.0 acres to 9.6 acres, averaging 6.8 acres per lot. The Mohave County General Plan
designates this area as a Suburban Development Area and the Long Mountain Area Plan designated this area
as RR/5A (Rural Residential/Five Acre Minimum Lot Sizes), and
WHEREAS, the proposal of rural-sized lots greater than five acres without water service conforms
to the Long Mountain Area Plan, but the Mohave County General Plan requires that Suburban Development
Areas are provided with Suburban services, as follows:
Policy 16.4: Mohave County shall consider proposals for rural residential development in
Suburban Development Areas, but all suburban development facilities and services will be
required.

General Plan Goal 16: To establish Suburban Development Areas (SDAs) in Mohave
County for suburban development with appropriate land uses and services.
Policy 43.6: Projects in a suburban area should be serviced by an organized water system.
Policy 43.8: The County should not approve a "dry" subdivision unless it is in a Rural
Development Area.

meet the service and emergency needs of urban and suburban areas.
WHEREAS, a review of FEMA FIRM Panel #040058-2155B and #040058-2165C indicates the
parcel described to be in Zone C, not in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and

a. Ali notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations.
b. The proposed action and the effect complies with the Mohave County General Plan and the
Long Mountain Area Plan.
c. The site is adequate for the action intended and the use is consistent with the surrounding
land uses and terrain.

in Policy 62.2. In addition, the Commission believed that there was enough water available
as shown in the water report provided by Mr. Sayles.

December 9, 1998, the Commission recommended APPROVAL for a Rezone subject to the following:

ESTATES, Tract 3060, or for each phase of CEDAR RIDGE ESTATES, Tract 3060, if the

final approval of the change in classification by the Board of Supervisors, as per ARS 11-
