Planned Area Development Zone

As an alternative to conventional zoning and development approaches and processes, the Planned Area Development (PAD) procedures and regulations are set forth to enhance the city's development growth in order that the public health, safety, and general welfare be preserved as Casa Grande increasingly urbanizes; to encourage innovations in residential, commercial, and industrial development so that greater opportunities for better housing, recreation, shopping and employment, may extend to all citizens and residents of Casa Grande; to reflect changes in the technology of land development; to encourage a more creative approach in the utilization of land in order to accomplish a more efficient, aesthetic, and desirable development which may be characterized by special features of the geography, topography, size or shape of a particular property, and to provide a compatible and stable developed environment, in harmony with that of the surrounding area. The PAD may include any development having one or more principal use or structure on a single parcel of ground or contiguous parcels. The PAD shall consist of a harmonious selection of uses and groupings of buildings, parking areas, circulation and open spaces, and shall be designed as an integrated unit, in such a manner as to constitute a safe, efficient and convenient urban area development.
