ORDINANCE NO. 2010-14
AN ORDINANCE SETTING FORTH AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 32, ADDRESSING
AND ROAD NAMING REGULATIONS, OF THE MOHAVE COUNTY ZONING
ORDINANCE.
1. AMEND THE MOHAVE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS
32.1 Purpose and Establishment
It is the purpose of this Section to provide for uniformity in road naming and numerical addressing;
elimination of inconsistencies and duplication of road names; provide a unique address for each lot and
parcel in the county; facilitate emergency vehicle response; establish a uniform road name and address
numbering system; development standards; display standards; official addressing maps; elimination of
non-conforming road names and addresses; and establishing the authority for the creation of naming
roads, addressing and other items related to county roads, properties, and improvements within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the county and outside the boundaries of incorporated cities.
It is the responsibility of property owners to exercise due diligence to determine the status of
access rights to their property. The access rights may be in the form of recorded or unrecorded
instruments, including grants or reservations of easements contained in deed and other
instruments, or claims of access based on easements by prescription or necessity that are not
readily accessible to Department staff. The Department staff does not have the expertise to
research the records for applicants or the authority make such determinations. The Department
discourages trespass on the property of others, and does not intend that issuance of an address or
road name be construed as authorization for trespass.
