The Casa Grande City Council on January 20 unanimously approved rezoning 23 acres from Community Services to General Industrial at the southwest corner of Gila Bend Highway and Burris Road. The area has seen industrial development in recent years, driven in part by semiconductor supply chain companies. Residential neighborhoods lie to the north.
Industrial Growth on the West Side
The rezoned property sits on Casa Grande’s west side, an area the project narrative describes as having light and heavy industrial uses to the east, along with warehouses and business parks. The city’s General Plan 2030 designates this area for manufacturing and industry. Goals in that plan call for expanding industrial land use and identifying locations for manufacturing growth.
“The city’s current demand for general industrial is significant, and this rezone would expand that available area,” Senior Planner Jaclyn Sarnowski told the council.
