The Casa Grande City Council unanimously approved amendments to the city’s subdivision code on November 3, 2025. While House Bill 2447 mandated the core changes, the city also updated local standards and corrected technical issues. Planning and Development Director Dan Coxworth presented the updates to Title 16 of the Casa Grande Municipal Code during the regular council meeting.
State Law Eliminates Public Hearings for Subdivision Approvals
HB2447 requires municipalities to review and approve certain land development applications administratively rather than through public hearings. The state law passed in March 2025 and takes effect December 31, 2025. It applies to several types of applications:
Land divisions
Lot line adjustments
Lot ties
Preliminary plats
Final plats
Plat amendments
