Summary
The La Paz County Board of Supervisors approved three rezoning requests and gave conditional final-plat approval for a 50‑lot River Ridge subdivision, contingent on posting required financial assurances and County Attorney review.
The La Paz County Board of Supervisors on March 2 approved three rezoning requests and conditionally approved a final plat for a 50‑lot River Ridge subdivision in District 3.
Board Chair opened public hearings on Docket Z2026‑01 (a 114.69‑acre rezoning to regional commercial for a travel center with a hotel and RV park), Docket Z2026‑02 (25.8 acres to manufactured‑home subdivision zoning), and Docket Z2026‑03 (a 2.0001‑acre rezoning to suburban ranch for a minor land division). Planning and Zoning recommended all items by unanimous votes; staff reported required notices were posted and no written objections were received.
During the hearing for Docket Z2026‑01 the applicant's agent, Farfarhan Rod, joined by Zoom and said the applicant would coordinate with county planners and submit development plans if approved. The board moved to approve the rezoning "as presented," and the motion carried with no recorded opposition.
River Ridge Enterprises LLC representatives Patty Ingram and Trevor Leja described completed pre‑construction steps for their project — a signed water agreement with EID, ADEQ approvals for water construction and septic, fire approval, an electric contract, and progress on a boat ramp — and asked the board to approve both the rezoning and the final plat. The board approved Docket Z2026‑02 to permit manufactured homes and later considered FP20‑26‑01, the 50‑lot final plat for the same property.
On the final plat the applicants disclosed one pending checklist item: financial assurances (bond documents) required to ensure infrastructure completion. Patty Ingram requested conditional approval allowing county staff to sign the final map when the assurances and County Attorney review were completed. County staff and the County Attorney supported a conditional approval, with the map recorded only after the attorney and staff confirmed the bonds and financial documents met county requirements. The board approved the conditional final‑plat motion on that basis.
The smaller rezoning, Docket Z2026‑03, for a 2.0001‑acre parcel was also approved after staff explained the request stemmed from a minor land division.
What the board did: motions to approve the three rezonings and a conditional final plat were made and carried. The board directed applicants to coordinate with planning staff (Mike Ramos) on development plans and with the County Attorney for bond review before recording the final plat.
Next steps: Applicants may submit development plans and the remaining financial assurances. The final plat will not be recorded until staff and the County Attorney confirm the bond documents meet county requirements.
