Council annexes Clayton area and assigns urban ranch zoning under Arizona statute
Summary
The Casa Grande City Council approved Ordinance 3456 to extend city corporate limits by annexing the Clayton area and applied City of Casa Grande Urban Ranch zoning to the properties through Ordinance 1178.46, citing Arizona Revised Statutes Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 7.
The Casa Grande City Council voted to annex contiguous territory known as the Clayton annexation and adopted initial zoning for the area as Urban Ranch.
City staff identified the ordinances as actions under Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 7 of the Arizona Revised Statutes governing municipal annexation. Ordinance 3456 extends and increases the city’s corporate limits by adding the Clayton annexation territory; Ordinance 1178.46 changes zoning for the annexed parcels from Pinal County general rural zoning to the City of Casa Grande’s Urban Ranch zoning.
A motion to approve Ordinance 3456 was made and seconded; the measure passed on a roll-call vote with Councilmembers Romo, Dugan, Bedellin, Edwards, Huddleston, Mayor Pro Tem Herrmann and Mayor Fitzgibbons voting yes. The council then voted to enact Ordinance 1178.46 applying the Urban Ranch zoning to the annexed area.
Council discussion on the ordinances was procedural on the record; no amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting. The ordinances take effect according to city code and state annexation law; staff did not specify implementation dates during the hearing.
The council noted the annexation followed standard procedures and that the zoning change properly aligns the newly annexed parcels with the city’s land-use regulations.
