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  
  
  
 
            
             CHRISTOPHER P. TOALE
