SUBJECT: 
Sun State Towers – Conditional Use Permit Review  
DATE:

Below are the Engineering Division’s comments for the above referenced submittal prepared in 
August 2025. These items will have to be addressed prior to the Planning and Zoning 
Meeting. 
 
1. None. 
 
The below items will have to be addressed during the Construction Plan Submittal. 
 
Narrative 
2. Public Utilities & Services Section - All proposed utilities shall be placed underground. 
3. Section 154.091.D.4 Setbacks – Show property setbacks which are 20 feet for the front 
yard, 10 feet along Ramirez Road and 5 foot for the interior side yard and rear yard. 
4. Section 154.091.D.17 Fencing – This section states the fence will be 8 feet tall but the 
plans show it as 6 feet tall. Which is correct? 
 
Plans 
5. Site Survey 
a. Boundary Detail – The 30’ Roadway Easement along El Mirage Road should be 
33’.  Also, both document 1994-0697190 and Schedule ‘B’ Item 8 are not correct 
for this easement.  
b. Boundary Detail – The 30’ right of way along 121st Avenue is per Schedule ‘B’ 
Item 9. 
c. Utility Easement Legal Description – The 12 foot Access and Utility Easement 
referenced here is shown as 15 foot on the plans. 
6. The utility is typically placed in the center of the easement. 
7. Several items on the plans will require permits from the Building Safety Division 
including the wall, generator and the electrical work. 
8. Show the property setbacks per Comment 3 above.  
9. Future improvements to the El Mirr RV property may require a dedication of an 8 foot 
Public Utility Easement along 121st Avenue.  Relocate the monopalm further to the west 
to allow for the future 8 feet, the property wall and any clearance from the wall that 
Verizon would require. 
10. Add the City’s General Information (City Detail EM-101-1), General Notes (EM-101-2) 
and Dry Utility Notes (EM-101-11) to the plans. These notes can be found here.

11. As built drawings shall be provided to the City upon project completion. 
 
The above comments are meant to be general in nature and are not considered to be all inclusive. 
Additional comments will arise during the formal permit submittal.

1. The right to a use and occupancy permit shall be contingent upon the fulfillment of all

be binding upon the owner of the land, his or her successors, or assigns.  
3. All conditions specifically stated under any conditional use listed in this chapter shall 
apply and be adhered to by the owner of the land, his or her successors, or assigns.  
4. All of the special conditions shall be consented to in writing by the applicant.

issues, or odors that may become a nuisance to the public. 
6. The operation shall be screened from public view at all times.

ARS 28-8481 Military Land Use Compatibility 
14. The site is located inside the Luke Air Force Base (LAFB) Noise Contour Zone and the 
Military Airport Territory Area and is subject to review from LAFB for land use 
compatibility with ARS 28-8481. Since the proposed development will be located within 
the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be subjected to approximately 
170 direct overflights daily. Once the LAFB review letter is available from the base, city 
staff will provide a copy to the applicant.
