Project Summary:
1. The applicant, Sam Davis of Ledcor Group, is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a
proposed fiber-optic utility compound on parcel 503-16-006A. The subject parcel comprises
approximately 37 acres and is located approximately one mile northwest of Circle City along the
southwest side of Grand Avenue (US 60). The SUP will be for a 90,000-square-foot lease area
toward the southwest corner of the subject parcel.
2. The lease area will measure 300’ x 300’ (90,000 sf), most of which will be undeveloped. A new
access easement will connect the lease area to Grand Ave., and a linear retention basin will be
placed along the south side of the lease area. Development beyond the easement and retention
basin will be limited to a fenced area measuring approximately 112’-6” x 128’ (14,400 sf). The
fence itself will be an 8’ chain-link fence topped with an additional 1’ of barbed wire and will
include a 16’ wide manual cantilever sliding access gate. In response to recommendations from
the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD), the developer will screen the fence with neutral or
desert color slats. Per the applicant’s narrative, a fence is preferred to a solid wall to maximize
unobstructed airflow for equipment cleanliness and operational stability. However, the narrative
assures that the facility will not generate noise or other emissions, effectively minimizing its
impact on nearby rural residences.
3. Within the fenced area, the developer will install a new utility compound and equipment shelter
that will serve as an infrastructure component supporting their existing fiber-optic network. The
equipment shelter will be a prefabricated modular unit measuring approximately 24’ x 36’ (864 sf)
and 13’ in height. In terms of construction materials, the shelter will be a precast concrete building
with an exposed coarse aggregate finish; it will be placed and anchored to a precast concrete
slab foundation. One equipment shelter will be installed during initial construction, although a
foundation pad will be provided for the installation of a second identical shelter in the future.
There will be no antennas, towers, or dishes with the facility. Outside lighting will be provided by
one downward-directed wall-mounted LED light fixture at each unit entry door (for three per unit).
Each light will have a dawn-to-dusk photocell control.
4. The facility will be unmanned and closed to the public. Access will be limited to authorized service
personnel who will visit the site infrequently for maintenance as needed. A single parking space
will be provided. Both the parking space and the 16’ wide access driveway within the easement
will be surfaced with stabilized decomposed granite.
5. The site is located within the Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor (WHSC) overlay zoning district
Class 2 intensity level as regulated in MCZO Section 704. Class 2 corresponds with the County
jurisdiction from 300’ to ¼-mile (1,320’) out from the Grand Ave. right-of-way. The Class 2
development regulations are minimal, only requiring structures to adhere to a maximum height
of 33’ and otherwise requiring development to observe the goals and policies established in the
WHSC plan to the extent practicable. The project will not conflict with these regulations.

Because the proposed facility will be unmanned, there will be no demand for water or wastewater
connections. Prior to issuance of construction permits, written confirmation will be required from the fire
authority having jurisdiction that the facility has been designed in accordance with their regulations and
requirements, and that emergency fire protection service will be provided to the facility. Neither Arizona
Public Service nor Salt River Project have provided comments regarding this request.
The Circle City / Morristown Fire Department operates the fire station nearest to the subject site, located
at 380 Debs Circle, approximately 1.5 miles to the southeast. The nearest school, the Morristown
Elementary School, is located four miles to the northwest. The nearest MCSO office is located at 13063
West Bell Road in Surprise, approximately 20 miles southeast.
Right-of-Way:
8. The following table includes the right-of-way and classification information for existing and future
roads that impact the subject site, based upon the Maricopa County Department of
Transportation (MCDOT) Transportation System Plan 2040 and Road Information Tool, as well
as right-of-way records from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
Street Name Half-width Existing R/W Half-width Proposed R/W Future Classification
Grand Ave. Approx. 100’ (varies) Approx. 100’ (varies) ADOT-maintained
(US 60) US Highway
Wild Rose N/A 100’ Parkway
Pkwy.
9. MCDOT’s Traffic Division has approved its review of this request due to the project’s small scale
and the minimal number of trips that will be generated by the proposed development. During the
initial review of the project, MCDOT’s Planning Division noted that the originally planned location
of the lease area (which was going to be toward the northwest corner of the parent parcel) was
within the preferred alignment for the future Wild Rose Parkway. As a future parkway alignment,
MCDOT requires preservation of at least 100’ from the future centerline. This required the
applicant to relocate the lease area. In an email dated April 1, 2026, the applicant proposed
relocating the lease area to the southwest corner of the parent parcel. Staff notes that the
proposed lease area now encroaches within 65’ of a section line, which corresponds with the
parent parcel’s south lot line. MCDOT acknowledged this section line in its initial review
comments from March 3, 2026. However, in its response to the applicant’s proposed relocation,
MCDOT confirmed that the site was now outside the future right-of-way and identified no further
concerns with the proposal. Furthermore, MCDOT’s Transportation System Plan does not identify
a future roadway alignment corresponding with the section line. Staff, therefore, interprets that
the proposed lease area no longer conflicts with existing or future MCDOT-maintained roads.
10. MCDOT has not yet established a construction timeline for Wild Rose Parkway. Currently, the only
right-of-way serving the parent parcel is US 60, an ADOT-maintained US highway. ADOT did not
SU260001
Page 6 of 10

respond directly to Planning staff except to acknowledge receipt of staff’s routing notice. The
applicant, however, has demonstrated proof of correspondence with ADOT. On April 2, 2026,
ADOT acknowledged receipt of the applicant’s Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) pre-submittal
form. Like MCDOT, ADOT confirmed that the project will have minimal to no impact on their
facilities and will therefore not require a TIA or TIS. However, ADOT also advised that it does not
support new driveway access directly to US 60. Instead, ADOT recommends utilizing existing
driveways to access the proposed site. On April 3, 2026, ADOT further advised that if the project
affects its right-of-way in any manner (including access), then a permit will be required from
ADOT. The applicant’s current site plan does show the proposed access easement connecting
directly to US 60 via a new point of access. However, the applicant’s narrative states that they are
working with ADOT for an acceptable access arrangement.
Framework 2040 Maricopa County Comprehensive Plan
11. The subject site is located within Maricopa County’s White Tank / Grand Avenue Area Plan, which
designates it as being within the Single Family – Rural land use area. This land use designation
supports rural residential development at densities of up to one dwelling unit per acre. The site is
also located within the City of Surprise’s municipal planning area (MPA). Surprise’s general plan
designates the site as being within the City’s Neighborhood character area. Because the site is
located within an MPA, the Comprehensive Plan’s Municipal-Rural Framework considers it to be
within the County’s Area of Municipal Influence.
12. Generally, the Framework considers sites designated for rural uses by the applicable County area
plan as being within the Rural Service Area as opposed to the Urban Growth Area. However, a site
designated for rural land uses can be considered within the Urban Growth Area if 1) the applicable
municipal general plan designates the site with an urban land use, 2) the site meets the applicable
requirements of the Urban Solutions for Urban Development (USUD) strategy, and 3) the site has
an assurance of annexation from the applicable municipality. Surprise’s general plan applies the
Neighborhood character area broadly to urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods. The plan does
include a Rural Residential Overlay sub-character area, but does not apply it to the subject site.
That said, neither the owner nor Surprise have expressed interest in annexation. The property is
not adjacent to Surprise jurisdiction nor along municipal utilities, suggesting that Surprise would
likely have little interest in annexing the site in the foreseeable future. With these facts known, it
can be concluded that, per the Framework’s guidelines, the site is within the Rural Service Area.
13. Per the USUD strategy, urban commercial uses generally require that adequate water and sewer
infrastructure will be available upon development, as well as adequate roadway infrastructure,
police protection, and fire protection. Being within the Rural Service Area, there is no existing
water or sewer infrastructure serving the site, and the nearest MCSO station is nearly 20 miles
away. At best, the site benefits from frontage along a major ADOT-maintained US highway and a
fire station located less than two miles away.
14. Although urban utilities and infrastructure are limited at the project site, they are not likely to
hinder the feasibility of the proposed land use, which essentially amounts to a rural utility use.
The unmanned fiber-optic facility will generate no water demand, no wastewater, and virtually no
traffic. Furthermore, it will be self-secured with a barbed-wire fence.

Public Participation Summary:
15. The applicant complied with the requirements of the citizen review process by posting the site
and sending notification by first class mail to interested parties and adjacent property owners
within 300’ of the site. Two signs were posted onsite in accordance with applicable regulations.
Staff received no public comment regarding the application. In addition to previously-discussed
correspondence from ASLD, ADOT, and MCDOT, the Arizona Game & Fish Department (AGFD)
provided a list of general recommendations for the developer. Luke Air Force Base responded to
County notice confirming that it has no concerns with this request.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
16. N/A
Staff Analysis:
17. Staff supports the applicant’s request for an SUP. For the reasons discussed in paragraphs 7 and
9 of this report, the proposed use does not require conventional urban services such as water or
wastewater infrastructure. In fact, since the facility will be unmanned, there is no need for a well
or septic system either. The proposed use arguably requires fewer services than a rural residence.
In many ways, the fiber-optic compound is similar to a wireless communication facility, albeit
without the tower, antennas, or emissions (staff also notes that WCFs are allowed by right in all
zoning districts except when the towers and/or antenna arrays exceed required dimensions). Put
another way, a fiber-optic compound is arguably a less intense use than some that are allowed
by right in the Rural-43 zoning district. As far as screening goes, staff believes the request for a
chain-link fence in lieu of a solid wall (which is generally required for WCFs to be permitted by
right) is reasonable due to the need for sufficient ventilation, the minimal noise that would be
generated by the use, and the minimally obtrusive aesthetic nature of the utility systems that
would be screened behind the fence. Finally, staff believes the proposed fiber-optic utility
compound provides a vital community benefit to Maricopa County by enhancing communications
infrastructure in a very remote area of the County.
18. Staff notes that the SUP area will be limited to the 300’ x 300’ lease area and will not include the
access easement that will, directly or indirectly, provide access to US 60. The routing of the
access easement as depicted on the site plan may not be final and will be subject to ultimate
approval from ADOT. The recommended conditions of approval include one condition requiring
that ADOT approval be obtained prior to issuance of building permits.
Recommendation:
19. Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve SU260001 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘i’:
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled
“Whittman ILA,” consisting of five full-size sheets, dated June 3, 2026, and stamped
received July 30, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may
determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with the approved site
plan. Minor and major amendments to the site plan will be determined in accordance with
Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
SU260001
Page 8 of 10

b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “MMI-Whittman AZ,” consisting of five pages, dated July 29, 2026, and stamped
received July 30, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions.
c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. The parcel, 503-16-006A, contains areas of a FEMA designated special flood
hazard area. Proposed utility shelter does not appear to encroach into the
floodplain. Any encroachment or grading of the floodplain will require a flood use
permit and a building permit.
2. Site is in proximity and access is via US 60 and requires ADOT approval via the
redletter@azdot.gov process. ADOT approval must be obtained prior to building
permit issuance.
3. Engineering review of entitlement cases is conceptual in nature. All development
and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 905 of the Maricopa
County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain
Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current
engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for
construction.
4. The County does not provide fire service, therefore, it is incumbent that the
applicant seek service and approval of plans from the jurisdictional fire service
provider.
d. This special use permit is valid for a period of 30 years and shall expire on October 21,
2056, or upon termination of the use for a period of 90 or more days, whichever occurs
first. All site improvements associated with the special use permit shall be removed within
90 days of such expiration or termination of use.
e. Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the
emergency fire protection jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed
in accordance with their regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection
service will be provided to the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy,
local fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required.
f. The owner shall submit construction permits to establish the land use and for site
improvements as shown on the site plan and receive final inspection status from the
Planning & Development Department Inspections Division establishing the use prior to
commencing operations. Violation of this condition may be grounds for revocation as set
forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
g. Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Special Use
Permit by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in
accordance with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
h. The property owners and their successors waive claim for diminution in value if the County
takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with conditions.
SU260001

i. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,
with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application,
subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the
time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property may be considered for revocation
to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed
that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, or the expiration of
the Special Use Permit, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application
to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value
of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation or
expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the value of the
property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit is granted and reverting to
the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Special Use Permit had
never been granted.

MMI Site: Whittman AZ
Property Owner: 37 ACRES R&G RANCH PROPERTIES LLC
Request: Approval of development of the proposed utility compound for
installation of fiber optic equipment shelters
PURPOSE OF REQUEST
On behalf of Middle Mile Infrastructure, LLC (MMI) – LTS Managed Technical Services LLC is requesting a
Special Use Permit (SUP) for a new utility compound for in-line amplifying (ILA) fiber optic utility
equipment shelter(s). The equipment shelter is ~864 square feet (sqft) and is unmanned / unoccupied.
The shelter is prefabricated off-site as a unit and is shipped and installed at the site and will contain the
equipment to support the fiber optic network.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
MMI proposes to install a new utility compound and equipment shelter that acts as an infrastructure
component supporting their existing fiber-optic network. The equipment shelter is ~864 sqft,
prefabricated “double wide” modular unit. The initial installation will be for (1) “double wide” shelter
with a second one proposed for future installation. The shelter is approximately 24’x36’x12’-9”.

The equipment shelter is a precast concrete building with an exposed coarse aggregate finish, that is
placed and anchored to a precast concrete monolithic slab foundation at the required frost depth for
soil conditions. The prefabricated unit is shipped to the site in two modular halves, and is then installed
and sealed together on site. There are no antennas, towers, or dishes at the site or for this shelter.
The utility compound and equipment shelter is an unoccupied/unmanned facility that is not open to the
public and is fenced with an access gate that will be locked at all times. Access is only permitted by
trained and authorized service personnel on an infrequent basis (ex. Site maintenance, emergency
repairs, etc.). The utility compound will be surrounded by a 8’ chain-link security fence with 1’ (3-strand)
of barbed wire and screened with a neutral/desert color slats. The outside lighting on the site is (1)
downward directed wall mounted LED light fixture at each entry door (three total). Each light will have a
dawn to dusk photocell control. There will be no proposed signate at this location.
RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
The site is in a sparsely populated, but not entirely remote part of Maricopa County on a vacant parcel.
The surrounding parcels are low-intensity with ample spacing between structures. There are a few
residential properties to the west, open space north and south, and small commercial uses to the east.
No emissions or noise generation will be created from the normal operations of this equipment shelter.
The fiber infrastructure requires placement of line amplifiers that helps improve the network by
providing additional signal stability, help carry information, and reduce latency. These routes are part of
the fiber optic backbones that help facilitate modern day communications.
LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
The location of the utility compound has been chosen because of its proximity to the existing fiber optic
cable route and its minimal impact to the adjacent road. The compound will be accessed from an access
easement off of HWY 60. No direct access to US-60 proposed and
CIRCULATION SYSTEM (ON & OFF-SITE)
Visits to the site will be infrequent and primarily for scheduled maintenance visits (typically quarterly
through the year). This will not impact the existing traffic patterns of the area. The compound is not
open to public access. Applicant is working with ADOT for access approval to service road adjacent to
US-60

DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE (PHASING)
The project is a small standard design and is built in one construction phase (4-6 weeks). The site is
grubbed / graded, site work prep and foundations are poured, the equipment shelter is installed and
final site work is completed. A second foundation pad will be poured for a future shelter installation.
COMMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
The equipment shelter is located in a rural area with no schools or parks in close proximity. The shelter
itself is a private building that is not accessible to the public.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES
There will be no water or sewage utility required or provided. No waste or trash will be accumulated or
generated with this proposed development. This is an unoccupied / unmanned facility with no plumbing
or waste generation. The shelter will be services by the Circle City-Morristown Fire District and by the
District 4 Sheriff’s Office.
OTHER / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The utility compound is NOT in floodplain, however the proposed access drive does cross a Zone A
floodplain. We are proposing a reinforced dip crossing that will not impede on the floodplain and will
allow the water to carry over the crossing and not be impeded during an event.

zone boundary. no greater than 10’ in height.

Justification of Standards
Parking Spaces – The utility compound and equipment shelter is unmanned / unoccupied and is visited
infrequently and generally only for maintenance and emergency repairs. No ADA spaces are proposed as
no public access is available to the site. An area within the compound will be reserved for maintenance
technicians to park.
Paved Parking – One parking space is being proposed for this site for a technician parking spot that is
infrequently used. Stabilized DG (AASHTO #57) on the site is appropriate.
Screening – Neutral / desert colored slats will be fitted to the proposed chain-link fence to provide
screening of the utility compound.
Total height of the chain-link fencing would be 8’ with 1’ of proposed barbed wire for 9’ in total height. A
total fence height of no greater than 10’ is being proposed.
1’ of barbed-wire is proposed in order to provide a layer of security to the site to prevent unintentional
damage of valuable equipment and prevent access and/or theft of sensitive information.

Good morning – providing an updated concept to our conversation the other week:
Can MCDOT please take a look at the attached site plan with the proposed relocation on the parcel and
provide any comments/feedback or if the revised location would be in conflict with current plans?
 We worked with the property owner to move the proposed utility compound out of the Wild Rose
Pkwy feasibility alignment
1

 The location moved to the SW corner of the property (see attached site plan)
o The location is outside the setback from center line
o And just overall not inside any future ROW
 Driveway access would be similar location to initial submittal – it does cross thru a future ROW

1. Wild Rose Pkwy – preferred alignment feasibility study
 While our proposed equipment shelters are setback from the alignment – a significant
portion of our proposed easement is falling within this “reserved” ROW.
 Is this preferred alignment limit our ability for any future expansion of the site?
 We had designed our access along the property line to ADOT RoW – but this access is
allowed, only buildings/structures are required to be setback?
 Is there a waiver or any relief that can be requested ?
 We contacted the property owners and they were unaware of this proposed alignment
running through their property
4

2. If access or the site has to move –
 Does MCDOT have any recommendations on access options to a locked parcel?
Thank you,

Pre-Submittal Forms are not required for each project but are a useful tool to reduce the number of submittals/reviews
and aid development timeframes. When submitted, Regional Traffic Engineering staff will review and confirm the form
in a timely manner. Changes to the above information should be provided in writing. A hard copy of an approved Pre-
Submittal Form shall be included in the Study appendix.
Approval by: By Nicholas.Schlimm Date: at 3:32 pm, Sep 07, 2026
We do not support new driveway to access US60 directly. We recommend utilizing the
existing driveways to access the proposed site. Please see the redlines below. The parcels
in the south side of the site along US60 and the subject development should consider
shared access when they develop in the future. The existing driveways locations should be
240-14
reviewed and re-evaluated at that time.

Mr. Schlimm,
The Department appreciates the opportunity to provide an evaluation of impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitats
associated with this project. Based on the information provided, the Department offers the following general
recommendations:
 Please minimize the potential introduction or spread of exotic invasive species, including aquatic and
terrestrial plants, animals, insects and pathogens. Precautions should be taken to wash and/or
decontaminate all equipment utilized in the project activities before entering and leaving the site.
Please review the Arizona Department of Agriculture’s website for a list of prohibited and
restricted noxious weeds and the Arizona Native Plant Society for recommendations on control
methods. To view a list of documented invasive species or to report invasive species in or near your
project area visit iMapInvasives - a national cloud-based application for tracking and managing
invasive species.
 Please ensure the project complies with Arizona Native Plant Law regulations. A Native Plant Inventory
may need to be conducted to identify, record, and coordinate plant salvage efforts for species that are
Protected under the Arizona Native Plant Law. In addition, the applicable land management agencies
should be consulted regarding guidelines for revegetation efforts.
 If vegetation removal/trimming is required, the Department recommends that a qualified biologist
survey for nesting birds within the project area if work will be conducted during the breeding season.
The trees and/or vegetation within the project area may provide nesting opportunities for avian species
that are regulated under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and protected under state law.
Breeding season for birds in the project vicinity is generally January through late June. If it is
anticipated the project will not be in compliance with MBTA, the Department also recommends
contacting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for technical assistance and options to
comply with the MBTA.
 If trenching or digging of holes will occur, trenching/digging and backfilling crews should be close
together to minimize the amount of open trenches/holes at any given time. Avoid leaving
trenches/holes open overnight. Where trenches/holes cannot be back-filled immediately, escape ramps
should be constructed, which can be short lateral trenches or wooden planks sloping to the surface.
The slope should be less than 45 degrees (1:1). Trenches/holes that have been left open should be
inspected and animals removed prior to backfilling.
This email serves as our official response.
If you have any questions regarding this email, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks,

Dear Nicholas Schlimm,
Thank you for the public notice regarding File No. SU-260001, fiber equipment SUP. ASLD is opposed to
the proposed screening development standard modification and requests that the existing codified
screening standard for a solid wall not less than 6-feet remain in effect where adjacent to State Trust
Land. Development interest in the area has been received.
Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions or comments.

Good morning Sam,
Rhonda has been out for a family emergency.
For your question on legal access to your site, to get the most accurate information, please submit a
request through our Public Portal. If you can, please include both the APN and the TRS for the land
that is subject of the request. While a ROW may exist, depending on the terms of the instrument and
who it was issued to, it may not provide the access you would need. That is outside of the Planning
Section's area of expertise, so this route will ensure that you have the access that you need to
facilitate your development.
ASLD would accept the slatted fence.

Importance: High
Hi Rhonda (@rbuss@azland.gov) – Nick Schlimm with Maricopa County PND provided us the ASLD
comment regarding our proposed screening modification for our project.
He suggested we contact you directly to provide further details or alternatives.
 The proposed enclosure / security fencing at the site is and 8’ tall chain-link fence with 1’ of
security wire on top
 Typically, our client prefers this option to allow as much unobstructed airflow as possible
 The shelters are unmanned / unoccupied – so having some unobstructed visibility to the
site can help deter unauthorized site access, vandalism, or damage to valuable/sensitive
equipment
 In lieu of a fully solid / opaque wall – would ASLD be OK with screening-slats in the chain-link
fencing on the north side of the compound?
 These slats can be neutral in color
 Our client can still get the benefit of mostly unobstructed airflow and security of the site –
and the screening would be 8’ high, providing relief to the ASDL view.
 Additional question for ASLD – for the property and abutting Grand Ave – could you confirm if there
is a ROW boundary/edge on that NE side of the property?
2

 From survey / GIS parcels – it was unclear where the ROW ended and State Trust Land
began
 My sketch here – the red dashes are an assumed ROW
I look forward to hearing from you – please let me know your thoughts on this and if you have any other
questions.
Thank you,
Sam J. Davis

Greetings,
Thank you for allowing Luke AFB to make comments on the MMI Infrastructure, requesting a special use permit for
a new utility and equipment shelter. The location is approximately 5 miles outside the Luke Auxiliary Field #1 2004
JLUS 65 Ldn “high noise or accident potential zone” as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 and within the “territory in the
vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461.
This request will not have a negative impact on Luke AFB Flight Operations. Because the site is located within the
“territory in the vicinity of a military airport” it may be subjected to approximately 170 over flights per day. We
recommend a strong notification program to inform future applicants/occupants about Luke AFB operations; to
include review of the sound attenuation requirements found in A.R.S. §28-8482.
If applicable, it should be noted that certain investments and real estate transactions within the military
installation footprint of Luke AFB may be subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS) to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. The
CFIUS regulations, Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) provisions, and related
resources can be found on the Department of the Treasury’s website: http://www.treasury.gov/cfius.
