Re: PZ22-02-06; Nexen DC - Copperwing (APN: a portion of 509-18-970C)
Dear Mr. Macias
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Pre-Application for the Nexen DC
development. This application proposes the construction of three warehouses on 27.6 acres that will be
part of the Copperwing Logistics Park. The proposed buildings will be 46 feet in height and located 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 80 DNL “high noise or accident potential zone”
as identified by A.R.S. § 28-8461.
Luke AFB utilizes 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.
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 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
