El Mirage Road El Mirage AZ 85335 Re: PZ2 1-03-10; El Mirage Mercado & Community Center & Worship Facility (APNs: 501-37-949B) Dear Mr. Macias Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Pre-Application for El Mirage Mercado & Community Center & Worship Facility. This application is for a proposed Community Center and open-air Mercado. The site is located on 8 acres at 12601 W. Thunderbird Rd in El Mirage, AZ. The parcel in which the Community Center and Mercado will be located is entirely inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn “high noise or accident potential zone” as identified 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. This request, as described in the narrative, will not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. 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 CLS Tat CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE cc: Colonel Luke B. Casper, Vice Commander, 56th Fighter Wing Ms. Cindy L. Allen, GS-13, General and Environmental Law Attorney, 56th Fighter Wing
