Airport Conflict Evaluation
Concord Hospitality
Southeast Corner of Cooper Road and Yeager Drive
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 Concord Hospitality development.
Background
The approximately 2.67 acre site is located at the southeast corner of Cooper Road and
Yeager Drive (Exhibit A - Vicinity Map, Exhibit B - Property Location) and is zoned Planned Area
Development (PAD). Adjacent land uses include commercial and hospitality uses.
The site is approximately 0.23 miles north of the Airport property line and is not located
within the 60ldn noise contour (Exhibit A- Vicinity Map, Exhibit B- Property Location).
The proposed project consists of one 124-room hospitality building totaling approximately
54,000 square feet (SF) with four stories (Exhibit C - Site Plan). The building height is slightly
under 45 feet to the top of parapet.
The City of Chandler General Plan designates the property for Employment. The 2021
Chandler Airpark Area Plan (CAAP) designates the property Innovation District (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 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 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 https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp. The FAA-assigned
numbers for all evaluation cases must be provided to Airport Administration. The
owner/applicant and its contractors must coordinate directly with Airport Administration at least
thirty (30) calendar days before starting vertical construction.
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, concrete boom pumps. The form may be
submitted online at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp. The FAA-assigned
numbers for all evaluation cases must be provided to Airport Administration. 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’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.
