Re: PZ23-01-01; Sunbelt Rental (APN: a portion of 501-46-001T) 
Dear Mr. Macias 
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Sunbelt Rentals development.  The 
development will include a single-story building consisting of maintenance equipment leasing with an 
overall height of approximately 28 feet.  The site is located at 12398 W. Butler Dr in El Mirage, AZ and 
is inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn “high noise or accident potential zone” as identified by A.R.S. 
§28-8461 and is within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. 
§28-8461.  
Luke AFB follows 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 Evaluation/Airport 
Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) for building heights as well as equipment used during construction, this 
request will not negatively impact the flying and base operations at Luke AFB.   
Since the development will be located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” 
it will be subjected to approximately 165 over flights a day.  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 is essential to inform potential occupants about Luke AFB operations.   
If you have any questions, please contact my Deputy Director, Mr. Mark James at 
(623) 856-6175.
 Sincerely 
 CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE
