Re: CUP24-07-01; Guardian Storage El Mirage (APNs: 501-37-948, 501-37-949B)
Dear Mr. Macias
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Guardian Storage Center
application. Guardian proposes a phased development of the Property with a high-quality self-
storage project and multiple retail pads along the Thunderbird Road frontage. The subject parcel
is 8.1 acres and is located east of the southeast corner of 127th Ave and Thunderbird Rd in El
Mirage, AZ. The site is located 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.
As stated in the narrative, this project will not negatively affect Luke AFB operations;
however, any proposed buildings, structures or cranes will be subject to the results of an FAA
Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis and Spectrum Analysis (OE/AAA). Since the
development will be located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be
subjected to approximately 170 over flights a day. We recommend you review the sound
attenuation requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482. A strong notification program on the part
of the applicant is essential to inform potential occupant(s) about Luke AFB operations.
If applicable, it should be noted that certain investments and real estate transactions
within the military installation footprint of Luke AFB may be subject to review by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to determine the effect of such
transactions on the national security of the United States. The CFIUS regulations, Foreign
Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) provisions, and related
resources can be found on the Department of the Treasury’s website:
http://www.treasury.gov/cfius.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Mark James at (623) 856-6175.
Sincerely
CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE
