Proposition 301

So what is 'prop 301'?? Simply this is the referendum issue brought to us by the fine folks in the 'clipboard brigade' otherwise known as RAID.

The referendum is to challenge a decision to approve a major amendment to the General Plan 2020 right here in the city of Kingman. The major amendment was to change the land use designation of 168 acres (give or take) of prime real estate that just so happens the citizens of Kingman collectively own. The current land use is listed as 'Parks/Open Space' and is to be changed to 'Regional Commercial'.

The folks behind the referendum are deliberately trying to devalue, or at least limit the value, on your very own property (if you live in Kingman). Even if you don't actually own property for yourself in Kingman, maybe you simply choose to rent a residence, you may not have realized that you are part owner of some real nice prime property located just off the Interstate which is located right smack in the middle of all the emerging developments in Kingman.

This land that you are a part owner of will likely have great value and I expect that private interests will come calling to ask the fine citizens of Kingman to part with that property for an extremely attractive price. The chances of this actually happening are even greater with a change in the land use on the general plan for this property.

The location of this land is prime because it is right next to the Interstate that runs through Kingman. It is a perfect place for commercial use (shopping, office space, and entertainment options are what I have in mind). How do I know?? Because just on the other side of the Interstate there is a developer that plans of developing in a similar manner (including a new hospital as well). That development will likely, over some time, increase the value and create demand for your property.

Changing the land use right now simply makes sense.
