RE:  PZ21-01-02; Phoenix Motor Homes (APNs: 501-46-836A) 
 
Dear Mr. Macias 
 
Thank you for allowing Luke AFB to provide comments on the pre-application site plan 
for Phoenix Motor Homes.  The site sits on approximately 2 acres of vacant land located on the 
southwest corner of N. El Mirage Rd. and W. Butler Dr. in El Mirage, AZ.  The intended 
construction will be for two 20’ high buildings which will be used for RV sales, rentals and 
general maintenance and repair.  The site is located inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn, 
“high noise or accident potential zone” as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 and is within the 
“territory in the vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461. 
 
The request, as described, will not have a negative impact on Luke AFB flight operations. 
Since the site is located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be 
subjected to approximately 165 over flights a day, with some as low as 1,500 feet above ground 
level.  If this development is approved, we recommend you review the sound attenuation 
requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482.  In addition, a strong notification program on the part 
of the applicant would be essential to inform potential residents about Luke AFB operations.  
 
 
If you have any questions, please contact my Community Planner, Mr. Mark James at 
(623) 856-9981. 
 
        Sincerely
