Planning & Zoning Meeting - March 19, 2026

The Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on March 19, 2026, focusing on several land use and development proposals. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of tentative plats for residential developments such as Magic Ranch parcels with stipulations on access and construction phases. The commission also reviewed rezoning requests for industrial and residential uses, including a proposal for an RV and boat storage facility with associated site plan and traffic impact requirements. A special use permit for an 84-foot wireless communication tower disguised as a eucalyptus tree was approved with 21 stipulations despite community opposition. Additionally, a special use permit for equestrian events and seasonal RV spaces was recommended for approval with 28 stipulations, addressing code compliance and operational concerns. The commission considered a large residential development project with a planned density of up to 560 single-family lots, including infrastructure and open space plans, and discussed related access and zoning issues. Several cases were continued to future meetings. The meeting also included updates on legislative matters affecting county development and infrastructure policies. Motions to approve or continue cases were passed by majority votes throughout the session.
