Re: SR21-0191; Woolf Crossing PAD Amendment (APN: 501-48-004K, 501-48-003C & 501-
48-006)

Dear Mr. Lerma

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Woolf Crossing PAD
Amendment. This application proposes an amendment to the current Woolf Crossing PAD to
revise development standards for Parcels K, L & M, approved for Luke Compatible Land Uses,
in order to be consistent with the Development Standards for Parcels C through J approved in
June 2021. The approval of the amendment and the development of the Property will allow for
industrial/employment opportunities that will benefit the City of Glendale and are compatible
with existing and pending surrounding development. The 212-acre site is located south of Olive
Ave and west of Reems Rd in Glendale, AZ and is inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 DNL
“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” defined by A.R.S. §28-8461.

Subject to the results of an FAA Obstruction Analysis Evaluation; this request, as
described in the narrative, should not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. The
submitted FAA Form 7460-1 by the developer for any permanent structures, equipment used
during construction and a RADAR analysis will need to be fully evaluated and cleared by all
commenting parties to ensure there is no mission impact. Additionally, any production that
would release substances into the air that would impair visibility or otherwise interfere with
operating aircraft such as: steam, dust, smoke or direct or indirect reflective light emissions
could create negative impact and should be eliminated. If this development is approved, 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 would be essential to inform
potential occupants about Luke AFB operations.

If you have any questions, please contact my Community Planner, Mr. Mark James
at (623) 856-9981.

Sincerely
