Mr. Hayes, 
Please see the comments from the El Mirage Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the 
rezone application.   
BUILDING & SAFETY 
1. No comment. 
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT  
2. Economic Development fully supports the Re-Zoning application for the Agua Fria 
Commerce Park.  The private property has limited retail value with exception to 
storage.  The City will benefit from Construction Sales Taxes, Rental Tax, utility taxes, 
and property taxes.   
ENGINEERING 
3. No comment.  
FIRE DEPARTMENT 
4. No comment from the Fire Department.  
PLANNING & ZONING 
5. Rezoning the property from Natural Reserve (NR) to Employment/Industry (E/I) would 
allow a new category of permitted uses that may not be in the best interest of the City and 
its residence and may become a nuisance. The applicant and the City of El Mirage will 
complete a development agreement to limit certain uses permitted in the Employment / 
Industrial (E/I) zoning district that have an intensive use.    
POLICE DEPARTMENT 
6. No comment. 
PUBLIC WORKS 
7. No comment.

Hi Jose,
Please see attached letter. After reviewing the Narrative, the letter still
states our position that the development of a RV, Boat and Storage Campus
will not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. As always, we
recommend a strong notification program to inform future land occupants and
developers about Luke AFB operations. 
Respectfully,
Mark
