# Planning & Zoning Meeting - September 17, 2026

The Pinal County Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on September 17, 2026, to discuss multiple land use and zoning cases involving commercial, industrial, and energy projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval recommendations for a Terribles Chevron-branded gas station and medical office development with associated rezoning and stipulations, and a large-scale energy project by Tetrate Tech proposing a 500-megawatt lithium battery storage system and a 500-megawatt natural gas-fired peaking power plant. The energy project raised community concerns about noise, lighting, fire safety, water usage, and public outreach, leading to motions to continue the case for further review and community engagement. Additionally, the commission reviewed a large state land rezoning to industrial with a planned area development overlay aimed at attracting employment-generating uses, excluding standalone data centers and utility-scale solar for third-party entities. Several motions were passed to continue cases to a future date to allow for additional information and public input. The meeting also addressed procedural matters related to special use permits and upcoming hearings.
