Re: PZ22-01-04:  Simple Box CUP (APN: 501-45-018M)    
 
Dear Mr. Macias 
 
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Conditional Use Permit for the Simple 
Box development. The proposed use will be an outdoor storage facility that houses mobile storage 
containers which are placed on site temporarily, then moved to and from customers for their relocating or 
shipping needs often involving multiple containers.  The subject site is 2.10 acres which is located along 
121st Avenue, south of Peoria Avenue and borders the Agua Fria wash corridor in El Mirage, AZ.  The 
parcel is located inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 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”.  As described in the narrative, this project 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 occupants about Luke AFB operations.     
 
If you have any questions, please contact my Community Planner, Mr. Mark James at  
(623) 856-9981.  
      
 
 
 
 
 
 
             Sincerely
