CG planning panel to consider a church, other projects
by Gabrielle Olivera | Casa Grande Dispatch
The Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday will consider a request to build a church east of Colorado Street at the end of Cordova Avenue in the Rancho Grande neighborhood.
According to the agenda, the case includes a zone change, a conditional use permit and a major site plan requested by Charles Wright of Pinal Design Group on behalf of Arizona Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists.
“The largest concern is that UR (Urban Ranch Residential) is no longer a supportable zone district per the newly voter-approved General Plan 2030 to be effective June 8, 2021,” says the agenda. “Staff still supports this rezone request, however, because the intent of the zoning is to accommodate a church use, which is allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit in a variety of zone districts that are supportable by General Plan 2030.”
