Casa Grande, AZ – Casa Grande City Council adopted three ordinances on December 15, 2025, completing the Project Saguaro annexation. The adoption finalized the rezoning of 1,308 acres near the Lucid Motors facility for industrial and commercial use. Lucid leases the land from Pinal County with an option to purchase under a 2022 agreement. The council voted 7-0 to approve the items at a December 1 public hearing and 5-0 to adopt them on December 15, when two members were absent.
The previous Pinal Post article covers the full background, including land ownership, the 2022 three-party development agreement, and why housing is prohibited under the I-2 designation.
What the Adoption Means
The city now controls development standards for 1,271 newly annexed acres stretching from Selma Highway to Interstate 8 along Thornton Road. Of the total 1,308 acres rezoned, 1,198 received General Industrial (I-2) zoning and 110 acres at Thornton Road and I-8 received Community Services (B-4) zoning.
