SUBJECT:
Airport Conflict Evaluation
PLH20-0051 The Ashley
Southeast corner of Arizona Avenue and Appleby Road
At their April 14, 2020 meeting, the Chandler Airport Commission ("Commission") discussed
The Ashley multifamily residential project located at the southeast corner of Arizona
Avenue and Appleby Road.
Finding: The Commission determined the proposed development constitutes a conflict
with existing or planned airport uses.
Conflict(s) Cited: The proposed development contains 78 single family residential units and
the site will experience aviation noise and vibration impact from aircraft in the normal
traffic pattern and arrival and departure routes. Approximately 156 residents would be
expected to be exposed to aircraft noise at this location.
Conflict Resolution(s): If the development is approved, physical and administrative
corrective actions should be employed including, without limitation:
Physical corrective actions: (1) construction of all units built with noise attenuation
construction materials and techniques to reduce the ambient interior noise levels to less
than 45 decibels; (2) installation of roadway-style signs at each driveway entrance identifying
the presence of low flying aircraft (this stipulation was added in the final motion);
Administrative corrective actions:
If the development will be for unit ownership, or will be converted to condominiums in the
future, then administrative corrective actions are: (1) all prospective purchasers of property
in the subdivision should be required to sign separate disclosure statements,
acknowledging (i) the proximity to the Chandler Airport (including the heliport), and (ii) the

map display to the Zoning Administrator; (6) inclusion of an affirmative disclosure
statement on the final plat; (7) inclusion of the physical and administrative corrective
actions in the Subdivision Public Report that is submitted to the Arizona Department of
Real Estate.
If the development is for unit rental, then administrative corrective actions are: (1) all
prospective tenants should be required to sign separate disclosure statements,
acknowledging (i) the proximity to the Chandler Airport, including the heliport, (ii) the
potential for impact from aircraft noise and vibrations, and (iii) proximity to an aircraft
engine testing facility and aircraft storage; (2) dedication of an avigational easement to the
City; (3) display of a large size map in the management/sales office identifying the Airport
Impact Overlay District, the noise contours and overflight patterns as depicted in Exhibit 6A
in the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study document as adopted by the Chandler City
Council (Resolution No. 2950, 11-5-98), and the noise contours as identified in the Chandler
Airpark Area Plan; (4) submittal of a signed affidavit and photograph of the prior referenced
map display; (5) inclusion of an affirmative disclosure statement on the final plat; (6)
requirement that all rental leases shall provide that all questions, concerns, or complaints
any tenant may have about airport operations shall be directed solely at the multifamily
apartment manager; (7) requirement that all rental leases shall provide that it shall be
