The Zoning Ordinance is a legal document used to manage land use and development in the County. The ordinance has had only minor changes since 1962, but the world has changed dramatically.  The County is currently working to update this document to be in conformance with the recently adopted (2009) Pinal County Comprehensive Plan.

Various priority amendments are currently underway or have been completed; information regarding these amendments can be found on our Zoning Ordinance Amendments page.  In addition to the priority amendments work has begun on an overall update of the Zoning Ordinance.  On July 15, 2010 the Planning and Zoning Commission initiated case PZ-C-007-10 the Overall Zoning Ordinance Amendment.  Staff anticipates numerous work sessions with both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in the coming months. 

In addition to work sessions, there will be workshops scheduled where anyone who is interested in the Zoning Ordinance will be able to ask questions or make comments in person.  There will also be public hearings for both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, where everyone will have the opportunity to share their opinions.  Please visit this site often for more information on the Zoning Ordinance update process and for dates and locations of the work sessions, workshops, and public hearings. 

Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress and that drafts may change; however, all drafts will be made available for comment prior to any submission for the approval process.
