• Neighborhood meeting held May 29, 2024.
• Hearing notices mailed on August 30, 2024.   
• Request advertised in The Arizona Republic on

Findings & Analysis
9
• The amendment solely entails the expansion of the Luke 
Logistics development area to approximately 9 additional 
acres. Site design will be essential for mitigation and 
buffering purposes as land uses transition from residential 
to industrial.
• The project will continue to be oriented for industrial and 
general commercial land uses with no intention to allow 
residential land uses to the development area.

Findings & Analysis
10
• The amendment encourages greater innovation and 
supports the industrial intensity of the Crow 303 industrial 
complex by increasing parking, increasing access off Alsup
Avenue, and providing additional site connects to the west 
and southwest of the development area.
• The development has designed the site to mitigate 
building height and proximity adjacent to the existing 
residential uses. The PAD design standards take special 
consideration to the scale of the overall development.

Findings & Analysis
11
• Adequate utilities exist in the area. Off-site improvements 
along Alsup Avenue will need to be coordinated with 
Maricopa County and the Maricopa County Department of 
Transportation (MCDT).
• The proposed development is consistent with several of the 
goals and policies contained within in the General Plan 
including Goal MA-1.
