RE: 
PZ23-02-03 LogistiCenter at Copperwing Master Sign Program Amendment  
DATE: 
March 16, 2023 
Mr. Gallagher, 
Please see the comments from the El Mirage Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the 
Master Sign Program Conditional Use Permit amendment.   
 
BUILDING & SAFETY 
1. No comment. 
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT  
2. Economic Development supports the marketing efforts to include trailers to market 
properties at the LogistiCenter at Copperwing.  This method of advertising is effective 
and mobile.  The signs provide valuable information about the park and the owner will 
ensure the signs are in good repair. 
ENGINEERING 
3. The applicate shall stake the locations in the field and Engineering will review them 
before the trailers are set. 
a. Sign A is located within the construction limits of the MCDOT El Mirage 
Alternative Access project, so we want to make sure it is not placed in an 
inconvenient location for their work. 
b. Sign B just needs to be out of the sight distance requirements of the Olive/El 
Mirage intersection per City Detail EM-158. 
FIRE DEPARTMENT 
4. No comment.
