MOHAVE COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 2012-05
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE MOHAVE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 9
AND SECTION 20, TO PROVIDE FOR LEARNING CENTERS IN COMMERCIAL ZONES.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on
October 15, 2012, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted to
amend the Mohave County Zoning Ordinance, Section 9 and Section 20, to provide for Learning
Centers in Commercial Zones, as requested by the Mohave County Development Services Department,
and
WHEREAS, this request by Mohave County is to amend the Mohave County Zoning Ordinance
to define the term "Learning Centers" and recognize those centers as an allowed use in commercial
zones, and
WHEREAS, the Mohave County Zoning Ordinance does not recognize centers that provide
tutoring or supplemental education as a defined land use. While these centers could be allowed in
commercial zones as a general service, the absence of a direct reference leaves the Ordinance up to
interpretation. By including the definition in Section 9 of the Ordinance, and specifying the allowable
zones, the status of learning centers is clear for the Department and its customers, and
WHEREAS, Section 20 is the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) zone. Commercial-Office-
Residential (COR), General Commercial (C-2) and General Commercial-Highway Frontage (C-2H)
zones each state that included in the allowable uses in that zone are all of the uses allowed in the
preceding zone. The uses allowed in C-1 are allowed in COR and C-2; the uses allowed in C-2 are
allowed in C-2H. By including"Learning Centers"in C-1, those centers would also be allowed in COR,
C-2 and C-2H, and
WHEREAS, proposed new language is bolded and double underlined. The remaining
language is unchanged, and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission
on September 12, 2012, the Commission recommended APPROVAL for this Ordinance, and
WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in the Kingman Daily Miner, a newspaper of
general circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, on September 30, 2012, and was posted on
September 28, 2012, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes and the Mohave County Zoning
Regulations.
