Re: PZ22-02-05; Copperstate Executive RV and Boat Storage (APNs:  501-45-934 & 501-45-935) 
 
Dear Mr. Macias 
 
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Conditional Use Permit & Site Plan 
Approval for the Copperstate Executive RV and Boat Storage project. This application is for 
consideration of an RV & Boat storage facility with retail commercial zoning approval.  The site is 
located on 13.38 acres at the SWC of Cactus Road and El Mirage Road in El Mirage, AZ.  The parcels are 
located inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 70 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.    
 
Luke AFB follows A.R.S. § 28-8481 when evaluating compatible land use within the “territory in 
the vicinity of a military airport”.  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.  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
