Re:  PZ21-07-22; El Mirage Storage (APN:  501-86-560A & 501-86-559D) 
Dear Mr. Macias 
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Conditional Use Permit Application 
for El Mirage Storage.  The site is located on 10.37 acres at the southeast corner of El Mirage Rd and 
Cactus Rd in El Mirage, AZ.  The request is for the development of a 1,500 sq ft - 18 ft tall building for 
RV storage.  The property is located inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 70 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.    
Subject to the results of an FAA Obstruction Analysis Evaluation, 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 165 over flights a day, with some as low as 1,500 feet above ground level.  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 is essential to inform potential occupants 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
