This title shall be known and may be cited as the Casa Grande Zoning Title, except that when cited herein, it shall be referred to as “this title.”

(Ord. 1178 § 1.1, 1987)

   This title is adopted as the city of Casa Grande's Zoning Title relating to comprehensive planning and zoning, pursuant to provisions of Arizona law, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Section 9.462 and 9-462.01 to 9-462.07, inclusive, Arizona Statutes Revised, 1977.

(Ord. 1178 § 1.2, 1987)

   It is the intent and purpose of this title to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the community and the people of Casa Grande through the establishment of minimum regulations governing development and use of land. This title shall divide the city into districts and establish regulations in regard to location, erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration and use of structures and land. The regulations are established to promote orderly development and redevelopment; to provide adequate light, air and access to property; to prevent congestion in the public rights-of-way; to prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, buildings, yards and density of population; to provide for compatibility of different land uses; to provide for administration of this title; to provide for amendments; to prescribe penalties for violation of the regulations; and to define the powers and duties of the city staff, the planning and zoning commission, the board of adjustment, and the city council in relation to this title.

(Ord. 1178 § 1.3, 1987)

   The enforcement of, amendments to, and the administration of this title shall be accomplished in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Casa Grande General Plan, as developed and amended on a regular basis by the planning and zoning commission and city council for the city.

(Ord. 1178 § 1.4, 1987)

   In the case of a conflict between this title and/or any part thereof, or any other ordinance of the city, the more restrictive provision in all cases shall apply.

(Ord. 1178 § 1.6, 1987)

   The provisions of this title are not intended to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between private parties when such easements, covenants or other agreements are more restrictive or otherwise not in conflict with this title. When such easements, covenants or other agreements are less restrictive or otherwise in conflict with this title, this title shall prevail.

(Ord. 1178 § 1.7, 1987)
