Board rezones 10 acres near Casa Grande to industrial, with 12 stipulations
Summary
The Pinal County Board approved a rezone of about 10 acres from GR to I-3 for industrial use in the Casa Grande area, adopting 12 stipulations recommended by staff and the planning commission; the applicant said rezoning is needed to make the parcel marketable.
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted April 1 to rezone approximately 10 acres near South Roof Tile Road from GR to I-3 to allow industrial uses, following a staff presentation and public hearing.
Planner Sam Amaya summarized the application (PZ035-25) and staff’s recommendation, and said the Planning & Zoning Commission had voted 8–0 to recommend approval with 12 stipulations. Applicant representative Kent Volkmar told the board the property has been vacant or used for scattered activities and that rezoning is necessary to make the parcel marketable and attract an end user.
Volkmar said requiring detailed site plans and traffic/drainage studies before rezoning would force landowners to spend tens of thousands of dollars without an identified end user, and that the adopted stipulations require those studies at the time of development. "There is still some regulation…You still have to come back in and get this approved," he told the board.
Supervisor Miller supported the approach as a policy that helps make idle land marketable. After a motion and second, the board adopted the rezone with the 12 staff stipulations.
Staff noted the rezone does not require a comprehensive-plan amendment because the land is already in an employment category; site-specific traffic and drainage reviews will be required at the development stage.
