Red Lake Area Plan - September 21, 1992

Red Lake Area Vision Statement:

The Red Lake Study Area north of the city limits of Williams, Arizona affords a quiet, rural setting with relatively easy access to city amenities in Williams and Flagstaff.

State Highway 64 intersects the area with an established corridor to the Grand Canyon.  A high desert climate range and ample green vegetatio, coupled with low density residences make the study area a comfortable place in which to live and recreate.

In setting long range goals for the region, a central concern of the Committee is to protect the areas' rich environmental resources while understanding growth is inevitable.  Maintaining as picturesque and safe a corridor to the Canyon as possible is a foremost concern.  Disallowing future strip commercial endeavors on Highway 64 is an imperative.

Aesthetics were addressed and the Committee strived to protect the air quality, vegetation and wildlife. 

Mistakes of the past were addressed and measures were implemented to avoid any duplication of error in the future.  Although the area will no doubt remain sparsely inhabited due to locally imposed restrictions on water, it is the goal of the group to avoid future obvious scarring of the terrain where at all possible.

Commercial and light industrial developements will be kept to a minimum and due to  the grid system of private, state, and federal land already in place, open space is assured. 

A fire district and a road improvement district within the study area are inevitable needs for the future.  The residents themselves will dictate when these become a reality.  More organization of the residents in the future will be advantageous.  A clear and concise addressing system will be incorporated, allowing for ease access of emergency vehicles.

Personal pride of ownership should be encouraged.  Yearly cooperative clean-up efforts should be incorporated. 

With the foresight to know that trends point to certain growth patterns, the Committee accepted the challenge to protect a region which will be one of the few such remaining areas in the not so distant future.

Excerpts on Industrial Uses:

Currently, there is no industrial zoned land within the study area and no legally established industrial uses.  The one use which occurs illegally in the study area and which requires heavy industrial zoning is junk yards.  The survey results indicated that the majority of respondents would be opposed to industrially-zoned land.  However, there are some possible low-impact uses which would require industrial zoning but which may be acceptable in the study area.  K-C Hilites has operated in an area just northeast of Williams for a number of years with little impact on nearby residents.  Similar low water consumptive uses with only minimal traffic, dust, noise, odor, or lighting may be appropriate in the study area if designed to minimize impacts on the residential areas.

Industrial Areas

1. The establishment of clean garden-type industrial developments, such as research and development or light manufacturing facilities typically found in industrial parks, shall be considered.

2. Location of future light industrial areas shall not be along Highway 64 unless very significant landscaped buffers can be provided on all four sides.

3. Low water using industrial facilities shall be encouraged.

4. Performance standards for industrial zones shall be strictly adhered to, no waivers shall be considered.

5. Environmental impacts shall be carefully considered in reviewing industrial rezoning requests.

Other Factors:

3. The review of Conditional Use Permits for commercial or other non-residential uses in residential zones shall consider the impacts of the proposed use on area residents, particularly, noise, dust, and visual impacts.
