Re: PZ21-03-09; Tippmann Innovation Cold Storage (APN: 509-18-968C)
Dear Mr. Macias
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Site Plan Approval for the Tippmann
Innovation Cold Storage. This application proposes the construction of a cold storage warehouse that will
be part of the Copperwing Logistics Park. The proposed 320,160 square foot building will be 157 feet in
height and located on 22 acres at the northwest corner of Jose Ramirez Rd and Dysart Rd in El Mirage,
AZ. The parcel is located inside Accident Potential Zone 2 and the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 75 and 80 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.
Subject to the results of an FAA Obstruction Analysis Evaluation; this request, as described in the
narrative, will not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. The developer submitting an
FAA Obstruction Analysis Evaluation for any permanent structures as well as equipment used during
construction will need to be fully evaluated and cleared by all commenting parties to ensure there is no
mission impact. Additionally, any production that would release substances into the air that would impair
visibility or otherwise interfere with operating aircraft such as: steam, dust, smoke or direct or indirect
reflective light emissions could create negative impact and should be eliminated. 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
CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE
