Default They are taking away our own land usage. AZ


Here is a portion of the proposed land use regulations.
We need to call our council members.


Chapter 18.07
GENERAL REGULATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

............

18.07.030 Land use regulations.
...........
M. Off road vehicle facilities:
1. Purpose:
a. To maintain property values, preserve the comfort, enjoyment, and
privacy of residents of the county, and preserve the peaceful nature of the
county's residential areas by reducing the potential for dust and noise
pollution, erosion, and destruction of vegetation caused by off road vehicle
use.
b. To regulate the construction and use of off road vehicle
facilities, requiring such facilities to meet screening, buffering,
setback, and hours of operation standards.
c. To restrict the zones in which off road vehicle facilities are
permitted.
2. Scope:
a. Off road vehicle facilities shall be permitted only in CB-2 or
less restrictive zoning classifications subject to the development standards
of the zone in which the facility is located and obtaining the proper
permit, and in the SR and RH zones as Type I conditional uses.
3. Development standards for off road vehicle facilities in the SR and RH
zones:
b. Minimum lot size: ten acres.
c. Minimum setbacks: two hundred feet from any lot line.
d. A minimum six foot high opaque wall or fence shall be paced on
the perimeter of the off road vehicle facility.

Here are a couple of definitions you may find interesting.


1. Off road vehicle: Any motorized vehicle used off paved or unpaved roadways, including motorcycles, motorbikes, motor scooters, minibikes, pocket bikes, three-wheelers, quads, four wheel drive vehicles, snowmobiles, go carts, sandrails, and other similar vehicles.

2. Off road vehicle facility: A place where off road vehicles are operated such as a track, vehicle jumping area, or any other constructed facility, generally with berms, hills, banked turns, and other grading, but possibly created by simply driving over an area to create a path or trail over which vehicles traverse repetitively for recreational purposes on any real property within Pima County, other than a dedicated or private street or road. The facility may be for either personal or commercial use.

Soon they will be wanting to take the land in my neck of AZ. All the jerks liberals we have moving in are the cause. A couple weeks ago I went down to Phoenix for the CCW deal A few times me and the wife pulled on the forest service roads to let the dogs run. Almost all I pulled on had signs no shooting no off road riding. I had to ask the wife if we are still in Arizona. Don't have it here in the Cottonwood area but with the building and the liberals it's coming
