It describes the current conditions in the City of Casa Grande and identifies preliminary issues relevant to the update of the 2020 General Plan update. This report details conditions specific to Casa Grande in the areas of locational context, demographics, housing and economic development, land use, historic preservation, transportation, environment and water and wastewater. The information provided in this Existing Conditions Report is intended to provide a basis for community discussions that will inform the City of Casa Grande General Plan Update 2020. Locational Context: Casa Grande is located in Pinal County, Arizona. The City is approximately one hour south of the Phoenix metropolitan area and approximately one hour north of the Tucson metropolitan area. The Nogales Port of Entry is approximately 120 miles south of Casa Grande. The Gila River Indian Community is to the immediate north and the Tohono O’odham Indian Community is to the south of Casa Grande. Demographics: The City of Casa Grande is the most populous community in Pinal County. Since 2000, Casa Grande has grown by over 68 percent, or 17,198 people, to an estimated 42,422 residents. The median household income in Casa Grande in 2007 was $41,100. The City has historically posted Pinal County’s strongest jobs-to-population ratio. Export-based industries in the area include agricultural production, manufacturing, and transportation-related businesses. Casa Grande’s central location between Phoenix and Tucson at the intersection of I-8 and I-10 provides an ideal location for additional value added agricultural production and transportation and logistics business. Housing & Commercial Activity: The City of Casa Grande along with Gold Canyon and Stanfield is one of the top locations for new residential development in Pinal County. Casa Grande is home to a significant amount of retail space of varied types. Retailers that can be found within the City include Wal-Mart, Kmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Staples. Grocery store retailers include Albertson’s, Food City, Fry’s and Safeway. The City is also home to the Promenade, a 900,000 square foot retail mall including J. C. Penney, Dillards, Best Buy and Target. The City of Casa Grande’s infrastructure, locational assets and other economic attributes will continue to support the extension of the City’s employment base. Land Use: The City limits of Casa Grande include approximately 1041 square miles of developed and undeveloped land. The vast majority of land within the City limits and its Planning Area is vacant or in agricultural use. Other key land uses include manufacturing, residential and commercial. As the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas continue to grow, Casa Grande’s desirability as an accessible location will be further enhanced. Opportunities exist to encourage development types and patterns that are competitive with those in the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas, as well as those that G e n e r a l P l a n 2 0 G e n r a l P offer the “small town” lifestyle treasured by Casa Grande residents. The City includes commercial and employment areas that are almost built-out enough to support some bus public transit service. 1 Central Arizona Association of Governments Existing Land Use Map 2007 Existing Conditions Report executive summary Historic Preservation: There have been a number of efforts to recognize and preserve the historic, architectural and cultural resources that represent Casa Grande’s heritage. Various activities have been undertaken by the nine member Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to raise awareness and appreciation for Casa Grande’s historic and architectural resources. An historic plaque program was established with the HPC members undertaking fund-raising projects to provide finances to produce and install the plaques. Walking tours have been conducted. Recently, design guidelines for the Evergreen Historic District have been prepared and adopted by the HPC. Plans are underway to disseminate information about the guidelines and the City’s review process to the district residents. Transportation: In the urbanized areas of Casa Grande, the major roadways are paved and generally provide two lanes of through traffic in each direction. In the rural areas, most roadways provide one lane of through traffic in each direction and many of the roadways are unpaved. There is a significant overall funding shortfall for the improvements expected to be needed by 2030 as identified in the 2007 Small Area Transport Study. The estimated cost of all of the capacity improvements projected to be needed by 2030 is $3.25 billion in 2006 dollars, ($160 million/year). There is also the opportunity to expand the City’s airport. Development is beginning to occur in the vicinity of the current municipal airport, and the City needs to take the necessary steps to protect the airspace around the airport from encroachment of incompatible land uses. Environment: Maintaining air and water quality while also preserving natural resources are important aspects of the City’s quality of life. The Casa Grande planning area covers a diverse geographic area which includes unique geography and natural areas.

  • History of FPC the First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 in 1896 the Community of Casa Grande Numbered About 350 Souls, and on May 3Rd of That Year It Was Official
    History of FPC The First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 In 1896 the community of Casa Grande numbered about 350 souls, and on May 3rd of that year it was official. Casa Grande and Arizola had their very first Protestant church, named Endeavor Church. It was the eleventh Presbyterian congregation to be organized in the Arizona Territory. Dr. Augustus E. Marden, a well-known physician, and L. C. Butler, an agent for Southern Pacific Railroad, were the first two elders to be ordained. The Arizona Republican stated at the time, “We believe a large future opens before this church, which starts out well and comes at a time when interest of the community is aroused on matters of religion and the advantages of having a church organization in their midst.” Two years before, Rev. Henry A. Thompson, began laying the ground work for a new church. He had a circuit of preaching spots at Arizola, Casa Grande and Maricopa all along the Southern Pacific Railroad main line. He traveled from one point to the next via handcar. The first meetings of the church were held in the first adobe schoolhouse First Adobe Schoolhouse located near present day Elliott Park. The first church building was erected in 1899 at the southwest corner of Florence Street and 1st Avenue from an icehouse that was disassembled in Florence and reconstructed into a two-room church building dubbed “The Little White Church.” There was one good sized room where services were held and a smaller supply room. There was no electricity in the building until many years later.
