KINGMAN - Jim Rhodes came one step closer to realizing his vision of a master planned community in Golden Valley Wednesday.
After plowing through nearly 40 items on its agenda, the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve all three of the requests made by Rhodes Homes pertaining to the zoning and development of Pravada, the community Rhodes hopes to build in Golden Valley.

KINGMAN - Two requests by Gateway Lots LLC to pave the way for a future prison in Dolan Springs were denied by the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission Wednesday.
The first vote was 6-1 to deny Gateway Lots' request for a minor amendment to the Mohave County General Plan, with Commissioner Joe Bibich the sole dissenting vote. The second vote, to deny a subsequent rezone of land to the west of U.S. Highway 93 between Fifth Street and Seventh Street from Agricultural-Residential to General Manufacturing, was unanimous.
Following a number of impassioned pleas made by several Dolan Springs residents and their representatives, Commissioner Rodney Burgess made the motion to deny Gateway Lots' requests, stating that the county already had one prison and didn't need another. He also said the county didn't need a prison to house prisoners from outside of Arizona, referring to an earlier request made by Corrections Corporation of America to build a prison on the opposite side of Highway 93, a request that had been denied by the Board of Supervisors in February.

KINGMAN - Two requests that would've paved the way for another prison project in Dolan Springs were put on death row by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting Monday morning.
Supervisors voted to deny a general plan amendment and rezone of land west of Highway 93 between Fifth and Seventh streets in Dolan Springs from A-R/36A (Agricultural-Residential/Thirty-six Acre Minimum Lot Size) to M (general manufacturing). The rezone, which would've allowed for a potential prison to be built on the land, met with strong public opposition, as it had when it went before Planning and Zoning May 14.
