The Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 12 approved a group of rezone requests and minor land-division proposals across Golden Valley, White Hills and the Kingman vicinity.

Staff presented each application and found them proper for consideration with standard conditions. Items included: a rezone of APN 30618058 (Golden Valley) from AR-2 to AR to allow a minor land division; APN 30666092 (Golden Valley) from AR-10 to AR; APN 30637009 (Golden Valley) involving a 3.4-acre parcel where the agent said parts of the site are in floodplain; APN 31757012 (White Hills) from AR-36 to CMO for a storage facility with limited manufacturing; APNs 31749020 and 31749081 (White Hills) from A General to C-2H Highway Commercial for future commercial development; and APN 31358055 (Kingman vicinity) from AR-10 to AR-7 to allow a minor land division.

Where public comment was offered, residents raised safety and infrastructure concerns. Julie Wilson, a nearby property owner, told the commission that reducing lot sizes near Robert Road could force traffic under a nearby railroad bridge, which she said has had recent accidents and lacks traffic controls. Daniel Thomas, vice president of the Peacock Mountain Ranch Association, warned rezoning could set a precedent for increasingly smaller parcels and noted limited road maintenance in the area.

Agents and staff responded that the requests remain rural in character, that topography and drainage constrain development on some parcels, and that prior nearby rezonings include smaller minimum-lot sizes in parts of the county. Each item was approved on motions consistent with staff recommendations and will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for final action.
