The Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission approved a slate of rezones, special-use permits and time extensions during a meeting that also included presentations and a separate public hearing on the general plan.
The commission approved staff recommendations on multiple agenda items, including: rescission of Board of Supervisors Resolution 2025038 regarding a 150-foot wireless telecom tower and acceptance of a new special-use permit proposal (item 1); rezone requests to smaller agricultural residential lot sizes in Lake Havasu and Golden Valley (items 2 and 3); multiple commercial rezones and special-use permits for highway-frontage commercial development and billboards in the White Hills area (items 5–8); and several other minor land-division and rezone requests (items 4, 10–13).
Notable non-residential decisions included approval of a special-use permit to recognize an existing four-space RV park and bring it into compliance with county standards (item 9) and a second extension of time for a special-use permit originally approved by Board of Supervisors Resolution 2022-214 to allow construction of a 100-foot telecommunications facility (item 14). The commission also approved a petition of exception to exempt a proposed one-acre-and-larger subdivision from county sidewalk and streetlight requirements based on lot size and topography (item 15).
Votes were recorded primarily as voice votes. In most cases the chair called for “All in favor?” and commissioners responded “Aye,” with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript. Where a commissioner motioned and another seconded, the transcript records only the motion text and the voice result (for example, “Motion carries” or “Item carries”).

What the approvals mean
Most approvals were “per staff recommendation” and took the form of voice votes. Several special-use permits included conditions noted in staff reports (for example, non-digital, non-animated billboards and an extended time window of two years to commence work for some billboard permits). The commission did not record roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript for the items summarized above.
Provenance: Each item above is documented in the meeting transcript where staff presented the item, a public hearing opened/closed when required, and a commissioner motion and voice vote appear in the record.
