Re:   PZ21-07-21; Radiant Church & Community Center (APN 501-37-948) 
Dear Mr. Macias 
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Development Application for 
Radiant Church & Community Center.  The 4-acre site is located at 12625 W Thunderbird Road 
in El Mirage, AZ.  The application proposes construction of two buildings that will serve as a 
community center and worship center.  The site is located 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.     
As described, this project will not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB.  
Since the buildings will be located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it 
will be subjected to approximately 170 over flights per day.  We also recommend a strong 
notification program on the part of the applicant to inform any potential tenants about Luke AFB 
operations.    
If you have any questions, please contact my Community Planner, Mr. Mark James, at 
(623) 856-6175.
 Sincerely 
  CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE
