The Pinal County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a Gold Canyon commercial rezoning on December 10, transforming 16.3 acres of rural land into a commercial development with retail, contractor storage, and RV storage components. According to the applicant, the project would bring the first retail services within five miles of the Entrada del Oro subdivision. Residents expressed concerns about traffic safety and dark sky preservation.
Landowner David Good and agent Jason Sanks of Iplan Consulting sought the change from General Rural to C-3 General Commercial zoning. The site sits north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 60 and El Camino Viejo. No retail tenants have signed on yet.
The project divides the property into three sections. The southern 4.78 acres along Highway 60 will host future retail establishments. The central 5.68 acres will contain ten screened contractor storage yards, approved with a Special Use Permit carrying 12 stipulations. The northern 5.47 acres will provide gated RV and boat storage.
