Hi Jose,
 
Thank you for allowing Luke AFB to make comments on the DT Industrial Park application.
This proposal requests the development of several retail/business and office/warehouse
buildings not to exceed 35’ in height on the 19-acre site. The site is located south of Peoria
Avenue along the west side of Dysart Road in El Mirage, AZ and is inside the Luke AFB 1988
JLUS 75 DNL, “high noise or accident potential zone” as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 and is
inside the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461.
 
Luke AFB follows A.R.S. § 28-8481 when evaluating compatible land use within the “territory
in the vicinity of a military airport. This request, as described in the narrative, will not
negatively impact the flying and base operations at Luke AFB.  Since the development will
be located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be subjected to
approximately 170 over flights a day.  We recommend you review sound attenuation
requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482 as there is a requirement to reduce the outdoor
to indoor decibel levels for these buildings due to their location inside the 75 decibel
noise contour.  In addition, a strong notification program on part of the applicant is
essential to inform potential occupants about Luke AFB operations.
 
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:

Respectfully,

Mark
