Case Number:  
PZ22-04-07 
Request: Site Plan Approval  
Project Name:  
IBC Truss Plant 
Applicant/Owner: 
Mike Hill / Integrated Building Components 
Project Address:  
501-45-015X & 501-45-015W 
Acres 
9.58 ac. 
 
Considerations: 
The applicant is requesting the approval of a site plan zoning application to develop 
9.58-acres of vacant land located on El Mirage Road into a truss plant. The 
proposed development will design and manufacture building roof trusses. The 
plant office will operate from 7:30 am to 4:40 pm and manufacturing from 4 am to 
2:30 pm. A second shift may be added if needed from 3:00 pm to 1:30 am. The 
operation will employ approximately 37 workers ranging from office managers, 
designers, forklift operators, sales, and builders.    
  
General Plan 
Compliance:  
The El Mirage 2020 General Plan identifies this site as being in the 
Commerce/Industry Park Planning Area and is in-compliance with the plan. 
 
Zoning & Land Use 
The site is located in the Employment/Industry zoning with the proposed 
development of a light manufacturing operation being a permitted use but requires 
a review and recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and final 
action from Council. 
 
ARS 28-8481 Land Use 
Compatibility 
The site is located outside the Luke Air Force Base (LAFB) Noise Contour Zone, 
but inside the Military Airport Territory Area and is not subject to review from 
LAFB for land use compatibility with ARS 28-8481. However, LAFB confirmed 
that the project will not have a negative impact on the base’s daily operations.     
 
City Staff Review 
Staff has reviewed the application and finds it to be in compliance with the zoning 
code requirements.

(TAC) members review comments mentioned in the April 27, 2023, memorandum 
with the submittal of construction documents.
