Each entry in Pinal Land-Use Watch is one county notice. The heading is the project name, when the notice or its staff report gives one, followed by the case numbers. The fields below it are extracted from the notice text.
Hearing. The body, date and supervisor district, taken from the county’s Notice of Hearings page, and the start time printed in the notice. Items are heard in agenda order, so a case can come up well after the start time. When a hearing is continued, the page date can differ from the date printed in the notice; see Limits and caveats.
Type. Tags assigned by the digest, not by the county. Energy and data center come from words in the notice, such as solar, battery storage or substation. Industrial, residential and commercial come from the zone or land use the applicant is asking for, so land leaving a residential zone is not tagged residential. Special use marks SUP and IUP cases; variance and signs mark BA and CSR cases.
Acres. The first acreage the notice states for the case. For a split rezoning, that can be one portion rather than the total; the county notice has the breakdown. Variances show no acreage when the only figure is the lot size the code requires.
Area. The county’s name for the area, such as “Casa Grande area”. It describes where the land is, not which government decides; every case in the digest is a county case.
Location and Parcels. As written in the notice. Parcel numbers are Pinal County Assessor parcel numbers; a notice that covers part of a parcel says so in its text.
Applicant. The applicant, agent and landowner as the notice names them. The digest leaves this out for variances, since those applicants are usually private homeowners.
Case lines. One line per case number with the requested change: the zoning district or plan designation it moves from and to, or the request itself for permits and variances.
Notice. A link to the county’s PDF, which is the official record. The PDF also contains maps, the staff report when one is attached, and the neighbor mailing list, which the digest never republishes.
