Planning in San Tan is about to get a little more organized.
On Oct. 31, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors approved a general plan for a 70-square-mile area of San Tan Valley. The comprehensive plan is the county’s first attempt at regulating land-use designations and the preferred locations of subdivisions and retail areas.
Because a large number of planned area developments, which include primarily single-family detached homes, already exist or are slated for the area, creating the appropriate zoning was a little more challenging, said Matthew Klyszeiko, the consultant who created the plan for the county.
