This is a site plan review for a 12,100 SF retail and restaurant development on 13.74 acres zoned B-2 at Florence Boulevard and Henness Road. The project includes a 6,000 SF multi-tenant retail building and two pad buildings, with 148 parking spaces provided (well above the 76 required), and is designed to be compatible with surrounding commercial and residential uses. Approval would advance the Florence Boulevard corridor development in Casa Grande.
23-035K — Convenience-food restaurants with drive-throughs (up to three locations)
This case approves a conditional use permit for up to three convenience-food restaurants with drive-throughs on a B-2 zoned property on Florence Boulevard. The approval includes setback requirements of 50 feet from residential zones for buildings and 15 feet for parking areas. Developers should note the multiple-tenant structure and specific separation requirements from adjacent residential areas.
CGPZ-014-005 — Retail center with three convenience food restaurants with drive-thru facilities
This conditional use permit authorizes development of a retail center ("Commons at Palm Creek") with three convenience food restaurants featuring drive-thru facilities on approximately 14 acres currently zoned B-2 (General Business). The project requires traffic improvements including signal timing adjustments at Florence Boulevard and Henness Road, left-turn lane extensions, and cross-access connections to adjacent properties. Residential areas (Palm Creek) are located 425+ feet away, minimizing direct impact on nearby homes.
CGPZ-015-05 — neighborhood shopping center and restaurant uses
This is a major site plan approval for the Commons at Palm Creek that has now expired. The project was contingent on B-2 zoning, which was established in 2005 via Ordinance 1178.218. Developers should be aware this approval is no longer valid and would require reapplication if the project is still being pursued.
YDC-11714 — Communications tower site with equipment facilities (monopole, equipment cabinets, generator, fiber and electrical infrastructure)
This is a site plan for a new communications tower and equipment facility to be developed by AnthemNet at an undeveloped location in Casa Grande. The project involves installation of a monopole tower, equipment cabinets, generator, and utility infrastructure (fiber and electrical conduits) on a 50'x50' lease area. Developers should review zoning compliance and setback requirements from property lines (approximately 115' to 563' depending on direction) and confirm any local permitting needs for tower development.
CGPZ-005 — 75-foot monopole communications tower within 50' × 50' equipment compound to serve Verizon Wireless and up to three additional wireless carriers
Anthemnet/Verizon Wireless requests a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 75-foot monopole communications tower on approximately 3.48 acres zoned Urban Ranch (UR), designed to accommodate Verizon as anchor tenant plus up to three additional wireless carriers. The facility will serve a current coverage gap in this remote area while providing enhanced communications capability for emergency services, with all proposed setbacks exceeding code requirements.
DSA-26-00067 — other
DSA-26-00067 involves administrative amendments to site plans for the Bungalows on Henness and Sun Life developments, removing a required traffic signal at Via Del Cielo and Florence Boulevard. The signal installation has been delayed until at least 75% of the Bungalows are occupied and Sun Life is fully occupied, requiring the developer to pay full street impact fees instead of signal costs. This change was processed administratively by city staff rather than requiring Planning Commission approval.
DSA-26-00013 — Religious institution (church)
The applicant seeks to rezone 4.4 acres from Urban Ranch to B-2 (General Business) zoning to accommodate a religious institution (church) with a pre-constructed building. The Urban Ranch zoning's 50-foot setback requirement makes it difficult to place the fixed-dimension building within the constrained lot envelope, whereas B-2 zoning with its 45-foot setback allows more efficient placement. The rezoning complies with the City's 2030 General Plan which supports B-2 zoning in the Neighborhoods Land Use category and includes a condition requiring right-of-way dedication for Rodeo Road.
DSA-26-00079 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
The City Council approved a minor amendment to the Casa Grande General Plan 2030 to change the land use designation of approximately 25.4 acres from Downtown to Manufacturing and Industry. This change could open opportunities for industrial development or affect existing downtown-oriented projects in this area.
DSA-25-00170 — other
The Board of Adjustment approved a comprehensive sign plan for Casa Grande Marketplace, a 16-acre shopping center. This decision affects signage standards and visibility for the existing commercial property. Developers should monitor if similar sign plan approvals impact their own commercial projects in Casa Grande.
DSA-25-00169 — plat
This preliminary plat proposes to subdivide approximately 26 acres at McCartney Ranch into nine lots for future development. The case will be heard by the Planning & Zoning body on August 6, 2026. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in the Casa Grande market or McCartney Ranch area.
DSA-26-00022 — Large single-use shopping center with retail PAD sites totaling approximately 212,830 sq ft of commercial uses
This is a site plan application for a large 212,830 sq ft shopping center and retail development within the existing McCartney Ranch Planned Development zone in Casa Grande. The project involves a mix of single-use anchor tenant space and pad sites for retail tenants. Developers should monitor this case if they have retail, shopping center, or complementary commercial interests in the McCartney Ranch area.
DSA-26-00078 — 6,000 sq ft. convenience store
A major amendment to the site plan for Good 2 Go involves construction of a new 6,000 sq ft. convenience store to replace an existing gas station on a 4.61-acre parcel zoned I-1. This administrative approval may affect the industrial corridor and traffic patterns along the Gila Bend Highway corridor.
DSA-26-00074 — Up to three convenience-food restaurants with drive-thru facilities (totaling approximately 8,100 sq. ft.)
Applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to develop up to three drive-thru convenience restaurants (8,100 sq. ft. total) on a 14-acre B-2 zoned parcel. The project requires conditional use approval, indicating drive-thru food service may not be an outright permitted use in the B-2 zone. This case is relevant if you operate in the Florence Blvd corridor or have interests in quick-service restaurant development in Casa Grande.
DSA-10-00136 — Religious institution (church facility); other B-2 permitted uses may include retail, offices, banks, restaurants, hotels, etc.
A 4.44-acre parcel at the southeast corner of Rodeo Road and Casa Grande Avenue is being rezoned from UR to B-2 to accommodate a 28,000-square-foot church facility that cannot comply with current 50-foot setback requirements. The B-2 rezoning allows religious institutions by right and permits other commercial uses including retail, offices, restaurants, and hotels, expanding the range of potential development on this infill site along a minor arterial.
DSA-25-00162 — Community amenity area
This is a minor amendment to The Butte at Sundance Phase 1 Major Site Plan involving the removal of RV/manufactured home spaces to create a community amenity area. The change affects the residential product mix and site layout of an existing planned development. Developers should review if this precedent or approach aligns with their community amenity strategies.
DSA-26-00019 — Convenience food restaurant with drive-through facility
A 7 Brew coffee shop with drive-through is proposed in a B-2 zone, requiring a conditional use permit. The 527-square-foot building with 900-square-foot canopy meets all zoning standards and is supported by traffic analysis, though cross-access to adjacent properties remains limited due to third-party ownership constraints.
DSA-26-00075 — Arizona Public Service electrical substation (two-phase project)
Arizona Public Service is developing an 80-acre electrical substation project in the Urban Ranch zone that required conditional use permit approval; the site is designated for future industrial/manufacturing use. The two-phase project involves a 10-foot CMU perimeter wall with Phase 2 adding drainage improvements, generating minimal traffic (approximately 5 trips monthly). Commission approval was granted with discussion focused on perimeter wall architectural treatment and equipment height specifications.
87-947A — Cellular communications tower and utility site installation including 80-foot monopole tower with antennas, walk-up cabinet, backup generator, and associated electrical/fiber infrastructure
AT&T proposes to install an 80-foot cellular communications tower with three sectors of antennas, a CMU-walled compound containing a walk-up cabinet and 30KW backup generator at 2042-A Friar Rd in the Mission Valley residential community. The project is a technical site plan approval for telecommunications infrastructure within an existing planned residential development.
18-133 — Wireless Communication Facility (unmanned telecommunications facility)
This PAD amendment to Mission Valley Unit 1 seeks to permit a wireless communication facility as a principally permitted use with customized setback standards. The proposed 85-foot stealth tower facility would serve as a critical public safety communications infrastructure with setbacks of 130 feet from single-family residential lots and 50 feet from Friar Road right-of-way. The amendment establishes clear standards for tower design, height, equipment enclosure, and co-location to manage tower proliferation while maintaining neighborhood visual character.
22-2026 — Restaurant with drive-thru (7 Brew Coffee)
This is a site plan review for a small 527 SF coffee shop with drive-thru on 0.87 acres of B-2 zoned land on East Florence Boulevard. The project includes parking (10 spaces provided vs. 4 required) and drive-thru queue stacking (19 spaces provided) with stormwater management that significantly increases impervious surface from 7,220 to 32,917 square feet.
22-2010 — Convenience food restaurant with drive-through
A convenience food restaurant with drive-through is being approved on a B-2 zoned property. The project requires compliance with conditions including a 3-foot screen wall, monument signage limited to 15 feet, and 50-foot separation from residential zones. This is a conditional use permit approval that allows the drive-through food service use in the General Business district.
DSA-10-00180 — Convenience food restaurant with drive-through (7-Brew Coffee)
A 0.87-acre lot zoned B-2 in Casa Grande's Community Corridor is seeking approval for a drive-through coffee shop (7-Brew Coffee) with a 527 sq. ft. building, double drive-through lanes for 19 vehicles, and 10 parking spaces. The development is compatible with surrounding B-2 commercial zoning and existing infrastructure, though it will require a 3 ft. screen wall and monument-style signage limited to 15 ft. in height to comply with Community Corridor design standards.
DSA-24-00089 — Electrical substation (APS TS24 Substation) with perimeter security wall, access driveways, utility infrastructure, and roadway improvements
APS proposes a new 77-acre electrical substation with a 10-foot perimeter wall and associated site improvements to provide load and power supply capacity for future industrial growth in the Casa Grande area. The project, located in the UR zoning district and consistent with the General Plan's Industrial/Manufacturing designation, will generate minimal traffic (approximately 5 vehicle trips per month) and will not adversely impact the largely undeveloped surrounding agricultural and industrial lands. The conditional use permit covers both Phase 1 (eastern portion) and Phase 2 (along Bianco Road) development.
DSA-26-00044 — Distribution center
This case involves rezoning approximately 49 acres from I-1 to I-2 zoning to enable development of a distribution center similar to nearby Walmart and Pepsi facilities. A companion minor general plan amendment (DSA-26-00045) would change 25.4 acres from Downtown to Manufacturing and Industry designation to create a unified land use. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval with four conditions including restrictions on explosive/volatile manufacturing, hazardous outdoor storage prohibitions, and decorative masonry screening requirements, though four commissioners dissented due to concerns about eliminating potential downtown revitalization opportunities on this strategically located property.
68-550 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case involves a Major General Plan Amendment for approximately 1,833 acres requested by Cactus 110 LLC to reclassify the area from Neighborhoods, Community Corridor, and Commerce & Business to Manufacturing and Industry. The I-2 zone conditional uses are heavily restricted within 600 feet of the future Burris Road right-of-way, with data centers prohibited site-wide. Developers should assess whether their manufacturing or industrial operations fall within the prohibited categories or the Burris Road buffer restrictions.
DSA-26-00045 — rezoning
A 49-acre industrial property in Casa Grande is seeking rezoning from Garden and Light Industrial (I-1) to General Industrial (I-2). This upzoning would permit a wider range of industrial uses and greater development intensity on the site.
DSA-26-00031 — other
This case involves design and development standards for a project on Gila Bend Highway, including architectural requirements, outdoor storage screening, restrictions on volatile materials, and setback requirements from adjacent residential areas. The conditions impose specific building design standards and land use restrictions that could affect development feasibility. Developers should review the complete conditions, particularly the 200-foot setback requirement and architectural diversity mandates.
DSA-26-00021 — Concrete batch plant
Suncore Construction is developing a concrete batch plant on an 8.1-acre I-2 industrial site with automated mixing in an enclosed 50-foot facility. The project includes traffic improvements (half-street, deceleration lanes, right-in/right-out access) and requires a six-foot slump block screening wall with landscaping along Thornton Road. Staff and the Planning Commission approved the Conditional Use Permit with design conditions to minimize visual and traffic impacts in the industrial area.
DSA-25-00179 — Expansion and modernization of mining operations at the Sacaton Mine; reopening and operation of the Sacaton Mine
A major general plan amendment seeks to redesignate approximately 1,833 acres from mixed residential and commercial uses to Manufacturing and Industry to permit expansion and modernization of the Sacaton Mine. The project is expected to generate high-paying, skilled jobs for Casa Grande residents and aligns with the city's aggregate resources and industrial development goals, though concerns were raised about a 500-foot buffer distance between mine operations and adjacent residential properties.
DSA-26-00010 — Manufacturing and Industrial
This 68-acre rezoning from mixed-use PAD to General Industrial I-2 at Gila Bend Highway and Burris Road expands Casa Grande's industrial corridor and employment land.

DSA-25-00125 — chemical processing and warehouse facility
KPPC is seeking site plan approval for phase 1 of a chemical processing and warehouse facility at 1250 W Ash Ave in Casa Grande. This is an administrative site plan review rather than a zoning change, so approval depends on compliance with existing zoning requirements and development standards for the property.
DSA-23-00224 — other
This case involves converting 19 parking spaces to 10 equipment rental stalls and 9 truck rental stalls with electric charging and a substation within the Home Depot parking lot in Casa Grande Marketplace. The modification affects parking availability and introduces new rental and utility infrastructure on the site. Developers should assess whether this conversion impacts their operations or future development plans in the Casa Grande Marketplace area.
DSA-25-00134 — commercial and multifamily uses
This case proposes a major amendment to the Villages at McCartney Ranch Planned Area Development (PAD), expanding the existing 34.05-acre PAD by incorporating 43 acres currently zoned R-2 CR, resulting in a total 75-acre PAD.

25-071 — other
The McCartney Ranch II development proposes 786 multi-family residential units, 782 single-family units, and a large commercial area on the southeast corner of McCartney Road and Pinal Avenue. At full buildout by 2032, the project is anticipated to add approximately 34,714 daily trips to the surrounding transportation network, with significant impacts on Pinal Avenue and adjacent intersections. The development requires multiple new access points with turn lane requirements and may necessitate additional traffic signal installations to maintain acceptable levels of service.
DSA-22-00095 — Mixed-use development with approximately 37.86 acres of commercial (including 27-acre anchor retail with pad sites, 6.3 acres, and 3.75 acres in three commercial areas) and 36.85 acres of residential (single-family and/or multifamily)
This is an amendment to the existing 34.05-acre Villages at McCartney Ranch PAD expanding it to 75 acres to accommodate a large retailer (Walmart) development with approximately 212,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and mixed-use components. The expansion incorporates acreage currently designated for single-family use and increases the commercial component from 11 acres to 37.86 acres, creating a commercial corridor along Pinal Avenue. The project requires a concurrent minor General Plan Amendment to designate the entire 75-acre site as Community Corridor, with approved modifications limiting building heights in the southern commercial area to 25 ft. to protect adjacent single-family neighborhoods and reducing maximum residential densities to 20 du/ac and 12 du/ac on designated parcels.
CGPZ-07-005 — Single-family residential with conditions of record; commercial and multifamily residential uses (southeast corner)
This case involves rezoning of approximately 282.87 acres from McCartney Ranch II PAD to R-2/CR for single-family residential use, plus a separate 19-acre PAD amendment at the southeast corner of Pinal and McCartney Ranch for commercial and multifamily residential development. The project establishes a mixed-use residential community with both single-family and multifamily components in Casa Grande.
44-0008A — Battery Storage Facility with H occupancy
This case approves a Conditional Use Permit for a 36-acre battery storage facility on industrially-zoned land (I-2) in Casa Grande.

Staff recommends approval with no specific conditions required.
91-1600 — Accessory structure (maximum 1,600 sq. ft., non-residential use)
Juan Moraga has requested a conditional use permit to construct an accessory structure (up to 1,600 sq ft) on an R-1 zoned residential property at 1348 E Tuscany St. The structure will not be used for residential purposes, and staff found the use appropriate with no significant adverse impacts on abutting property. This case is approved subject to conditions restricting square footage and use type.
25-197 — Accessory storage/garage shed with utilities (plumbing and electricity)
This case involves a request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 1,200 sq ft metal storage/garage shed with patio in a single-family residential (R-1) zoned lot. The structure exceeds the 675 sq ft threshold for accessory structures and requires Planning & Zoning approval. The applicant has already obtained HOA and neighborhood approval with conditions including 5-foot setbacks from property lines and exterior colors matching the home.
CDP-24-01097 — Detached garage (30 FT by 40 FT, 1,200 SF) with 400 SF covered patio for vehicle storage and personal household items
This is a Conditional Use Permit request for a 1,600 SF accessory garage structure in an R-1 residential zone on Tuscany Street. The proposed detached garage meets all setback requirements, has engineering approval for drainage, and is subject to conditions limiting square footage to 1,600 SF and prohibiting residential use. The project poses minimal impact to neighboring properties due to compatible design, neutral colors, existing screening walls, and demonstrated neighbor and HOA approval.
DSA-25-00138 — 12.25 acres commercial, approximately 15 acres multifamily
This PAD amendment reconfigures 27.3 acres at McCartney and Pinal to reduce commercial space from 16.3 to 12.25 acres while expanding multifamily use, with 1.61 acres of new commercial frontage along Pinal to accommodate a developer in escrow. The amendment requires traffic report approval and dedication of roadway rights-of-way, with coordination needed for cross-access with surrounding properties.
DSA-24-00137 — plat
This case involves a re-plat to divide a property into two separate lots at the Krystal Street location within the R2/CR zone district. The project will reconfigure the existing parcel structure without changing zoning designations.
DSA-25-00106 — Mixed-use development including residential (medium to high-density), commercial office, medical, retail, restaurants, business parks, and light industrial uses. Letter of intent with WinCo Foods for grocery store location.
This 273-acre mixed-use PAD rezoning at a prime I-10 gateway location proposes flexible commercial, residential, and industrial uses with an expected 15,961-19,046 daily trips. The project includes a WinCo Foods anchor tenant and requires traffic study revisions and sign plan requirements, but the Planning Commission denied the motion 4-3, citing concerns about the size and scope of administrative-level approvals for such a large development.
DSA-25-00152 — Decomposed granite and landscaping to replace four retention basins
This case involves an amendment to the Ironwood Village Planned Area Development to replace four retention basins (0.29 acres) with decomposed granite and landscaping while maintaining green belts. The proposal has generated significant community division, with 84.96% of survey respondents supporting the change, though some residents who purchased premium-priced lots on greenbelts oppose the conversion. The Planning & Zoning Commission approved the amendment with a condition requiring the HOA to replace missing trees and shrubs per the approved landscape plan.
DSA-22-00051 — pd_amendment
This amendment modifies the Villago Village Planned Area Development to allow flexible multifamily residential options (Medium and High Density) in Area 1, with densities of 10-12 DU/AC for Medium Density, while limiting commercial uses in Area 2 to 1.61 acres based on B-2 zoning standards. The project permits two development scenarios: mixed-use with phased construction or unified residential development, offering developers realistic flexibility in response to changing market conditions.
31-604B — Multi-family residential (Area 1, approximately 16.66 acres) and commercial or multi-family residential (Area 2, approximately 1.61 acres)
This amendment to the Villago Village Core Planned Area Development reallocates approximately 18.27 acres between multi-family residential and commercial uses, converting the previously designated commercial portion to multifamily residential while providing flexibility for commercial or residential development in a smaller 1.61-acre area. The project will provide multiple access points through existing easements, future driveways, and Pinal Avenue, with the development adjacent to existing commercial and retail uses and an existing residential community. The site is outside the 100 and 500-year floodplain with erosion protection planned as part of the development.
DSA-22-00280 — Mixed-use commercial and multi-family residential development with flexibility in 1.61-acre area for either commercial or multi-family use
This PAD amendment to Villago Village Core reallocates approximately 18.27 acres between commercial and multi-family uses, converting 1.61 acres of multi-family-designated land along Pinal Avenue to allow commercial use and repurposing about 4 acres of undeveloped commercial land for multi-family development. The changes aim to improve marketability of the multi-family area by providing additional frontage on McCartney Road while maintaining overall development entitlements in the established PAD district.
DSA-15-00101 — Car wash
This case involves a Planned Development amendment that modifies setback requirements and adds car wash as a permitted use, likely for a Super Star Car Wash facility. Developers should note any precedent set for setback modifications in planned developments and the approval of car wash uses.
DSA-11-00072 — Commercial (within PAD)
This case involves an amendment to a Planned Development (PAD) to eliminate the 150-foot minimum lot width requirement in the B-2 zone for four commercial parcels. The change allows for more flexible lot configurations on these parcels, potentially enabling smaller commercial lots within the development.

23-001N — pd_amendment
This is a Planned Development (PAD) amendment for a mixed-use project at Florence Boulevard and Interstate-10 in Casa Grande that will allow flexible future development of residential, commercial, and industrial uses with phased infrastructure. The project establishes standards for access, circulation, landscaping, open space, and utilities while allowing specific land uses and site layouts to be determined through future approvals. Developers should monitor this case if they have adjacent properties or interests in the Florence & I-10 corridor, as it will impact traffic patterns, utilities, and access management in the area.

The Ironwood Village HOA is seeking approval to convert turf in four retention basins (totaling 0.29 acres) to decomposed granite with new plantings as a water conservation measure within the existing PAD. The amendment aligns with the City's water conservation goals and has majority HOA support (72% survey response), but does require an amendment to the existing PAD guide that specified turf in these areas. This application was previously withdrawn in January 2026 but has been resubmitted with additional community coordination.
DSA-25-00168 — Permanent leasing office for build-to-rent community with single-family rental homes
This case involves amending the Carlton Commons Planned Development to permit a permanent leasing office for a new build-to-rent community featuring single-family rental homes. The amendment clarifies that leasing offices are permitted as internal amenities and establishes design and zoning guidelines for the project. The approval enables DR Horton to proceed with a novel rental model where individual lots are leased rather than sold, which is new for the company and the area.
DSA-25-00081 — Convenience Food Restaurant (Dutch Bros Coffee) with drive-through facility
This is a Conditional Use Permit approval for a Dutch Bros Coffee drive-through in an existing B-2 zone, requiring a permit because drive-through convenience food restaurants need conditional use approval in this district. The project includes a 1,025 sq ft building with enhanced traffic queuing capacity (up to 42 vehicles) and alley improvements, with staff approval subject to four conditions including signage limits and temporary queuing provisions.
27-6180 — Permanent Residential Leasing Office
This case seeks to amend the Carlton Commons Planned Development to clarify that a permanent on-site leasing office is an allowed amenity use within the residential community. The proposed leasing office (1,191 sq ft) will serve residents and prospective tenants of the single-family rental development and requires reclassification to B-2 zoning for the specific lot. This amendment will not materially change existing permitted uses and the new building will comply with all applicable design and ADA standards.
DSA-22-00176 — Permanent leasing office for build-to-rent community housing products
This is a PAD amendment to the Carlton Commons development allowing one standard lot to be converted to a permanent leasing office for the build-to-rent Parcel One product area. The leasing office will replace a model home complex that is no longer needed under the unique lease model and will be designed to blend with surrounding single-family residences. Staff recommends approval with design standards and signage requirements outlined in the amendment.
11-058F — Coffee/Donut Shop with Drive-Through Window (Dutch Bros Coffee)
A 1,025 SF Dutch Bros Coffee with drive-through is proposed on a 1.1-acre undeveloped lot currently zoned B-2 (General Business). The development will generate approximately 203 AM peak-hour and 163 PM peak-hour vehicle trips, with traffic analysis indicating acceptable operations at site driveways through 2029, though the existing Pinal/Cottonwood intersection is expected to reach LOS E by 2029. The developer proposes three-quarter access on Pinal Avenue and alley access to Cottonwood Lane to accommodate delivery and emergency vehicles, with drive-through queue management expected to keep vehicles on-site 99.4% of the time.
DSA-10-00279 — Convenience Food Restaurant (Dutch Bros Coffee) with Double Drive-Through Facility
Dutch Bros Coffee is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop a 1.12-acre parcel in the B-2 General Business zone for a convenience food restaurant with double drive-through lanes designed to queue 36 vehicles on-site. The development includes 13 parking spaces, a walk-up service window, and operational traffic management measures to minimize spillover impacts on neighboring commercial properties and public roads.
DSA-25-00127 — Commercial uses and light industrial uses such as contractor storage yards
This 8.7-acre property near Bisnaga and Pinal is being rezoned from B-1 and Urban Ranch to B-4 to allow commercial and light industrial uses including contractor storage yards. The project was approved by the Planning Commission with conditions requiring a landscape buffer along the eastern boundary and preservation of the Santa Cruz Wash area, though neighbors raised concerns about flooding impacts during storms.
DSA-25-00188 — 81-unit senior independent living community
This case involves modification of existing 2015 planned development conditions on 4.6 acres zoned R-3 to permit an 81-unit senior independent living community instead of the originally-required individual sale housing units. Staff recommends approval with modified conditions including density limits of 18 units per acre, maintained setbacks, and parcel consolidation, with Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommending approval to City Council.
26-020E — rezoning
This case proposes rezoning approximately 23 acres at the southwest corner of Gila Bend Highway and Burris Road from B-4 (Community Services) to I-2 (General Industrial). The applicant indicates that previous industrial users require highway frontage, making the retained B-4 zoning difficult to develop separately. The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval to City Council.

KPPC is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 26-acre chemical manufacturing facility in an I-2 zoned area, with planned production of semiconductor-grade chemicals and potentially sulfuric acid in future phases. The facility will generate an estimated 61 AM/PM peak trips and 10-12 truck deliveries daily, raising traffic and hazardous materials transportation concerns. The permit request failed on a 4-3 vote at the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing.
DSA-25-00111 — other
City Council approved a zoning change from Neighborhood Services (B-1) and Urban Ranch (UR) districts to Community Services (B-4) on property at the southwest corner of Bisnaga Street and Pinal Avenue.
