APC Conflict Evaluation

Subject: 
Airport Conflict Evaluation 
 
Arizona Commerce Center 
 
Southeast Corner of Arizona Avenue and Ryan Road 
 
Recommendation 
Staff recommends the Airport Commission ("Commission") present an Airport Conflict Evaluation (ACE) 
report to the Zoning Administrator and City Council with a finding of "no conflict with airport uses" for the 
proposed Arizona Commerce Center development. 
 
Background 
The project is a six building, light industrial/commerce park development on approximately 41 acres at 
the southeast corner of Arizona Avenue and Ryan Road (Exhibit A - Vicinity Map, Exhibit B - Property 
Location).  The property is zoned AG-1 and the proposed zoning is Planned Area Development. 
 
The site is approximately nine-tenths (0.9) of a mile to the west of the Airport property line (Exhibit A- 
Vicinity Map, Exhibit B- Property Location). 
 
The six buildings will consist of approximately 486,000 square feet (SF) (Exhibit C - Site Plan).  The 
proposed building heights will be 34 feet for Buildings “A” and “D” fronting Arizona Ave with the 
remaining four buildings not exceeding 45 feet. 
 
The City of Chandler General Plan designates the property for Employment and Growth Areas.  The 2021 
Chandler Airpark Area Plan (CAAP) designates the property as Innovation and Light Industrial (Exhibit D – 
Chandler Airpark Area Plan Land Use Plan). 
 
Analysis and Stipulations 
The proposed development is consistent with the CAAP.  Commercial and industrial land uses are 
generally compatible with airport operations.  The property will experience daily overflights from aircraft 
on takeoff and landing (Exhibit E – Flight Tracks).   
 
Based on the proposed building heights, the proposed development does not appear to pose a hazard to 
flight safety or be an airspace obstruction.  The proposed building height does not appear to impact the 
approach and departure surfaces for either runway.  Final building structures, including all rooftop objects, 
must not impact the approach and departure surfaces for the Airport’s runways.  
 
The owner/applicant must file a Notice of Proposed Construction (FAA Form 7460-1) with the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) for the final structure heights, including, without limitation, all rooftop antennas, 
parapets, light poles, and other equipment.  The form may be submitted online at the FAA’s Obstruction 
Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE3A) website.  The FAA-assigned numbers for all evaluation cases 
must be provided to Airport Administration.

The owner/applicant must ensure that its contractors file a Notice of Proposed Construction (FAA Form 7460-1) 
with the FAA for temporary construction equipment including, without limitation, cranes, drilling rigs, and 
concrete boom pumps and other vertical equipment.  The form may be submitted online at the FAA’s 
Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE3A) website.  The FAA-assigned numbers for all 
evaluation cases must be provided to Airport Administration.   
 
It is strongly recommended that the owner/applicant, or ensure its contractor(s), submits the 
7460-1 form for the construction equipment as soon as possible before construction, allowing 
for a minimum of sixty (60) calendar days before start of vertical work.   
 
The owner/applicant and its contractors must coordinate directly with Airport Administration at 
least thirty (30) calendar days before starting vertical construction. 
 
The proposed project does not indicate the use of rooftop solar panels.  If solar panels are anticipated to 
be installed, the owner/applicant must complete a solar study and coordinate with Airport Administration 
to ensure that glare will not interfere with aircraft on approach or takeoff. 
 
The proposed project’s building design must not create reflectivity issues with aircraft in the traffic 
pattern and on approach or takeoff (Exhibit F – Building Elevations).  The use of non-reflective glazing and 
non-reflective paint is encouraged.
