Pinal County Rezones 4,695 Acres Near Florence, AZ
Pinal County supervisors approved industrial zoning and a planned-area overlay for 4,695.89 acres of Arizona State Trust land north of Florence. The action enables a future state auction but does not identify a buyer or authorize a standalone data center, which the overlay explicitly prohibits.
Pinal County supervisors approved a Comprehensive Plan change, I-3 industrial zoning and a Planned Area Development overlay for 4,695.89 acres of Arizona State Trust land north of Florence. The approval clears a land-use step before the Arizona State Land Department can offer the property for auction, but no buyer or sale date has been identified.
The overlay permits data-center functions only when they support a primary business on the site and prohibits standalone data centers, solar projects and battery-storage facilities. Development would also require onsite wastewater treatment, an extension of Skyline Drive to State Route 79 and at least two public-road access points. A separate Arizona Department of Transportation roundabout project and a previously announced Lucid Motors facility in Casa Grande do not establish a future occupant for the Florence-area property.
