Subject:
Airport Conflict Evaluation
Schntizer Commerce Parks
Near the Southeast and Southwest corners of Ryan Road and
Hamilton Street
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 Schnitzer Commerce Parks development.
Background
The first phase of the project includes three (3) buildings totaling approximately 604,500
square feet on approximately 37.6 acres at the southeast corner of Ryan Road and
Hamilton Street. The second phase includes four (4) buildings totaling approximately
715,571 square feet on approximately 47 acres at the southwest corner of Ryan Road and
Hamilton Street. See Exhibit A - Vicinity Map, Exhibit B - Property Location. Both sites are
zoned Agriculture (AG-1) with a rezoning request to Planned Area Development (PAD) and a
Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) for an industrial business park.
The site is approximately 0.4 miles west of the Airport property line and is not located
within the 60ldn noise contour (Exhibit A- Vicinity Map, Exhibit B- Property Location).
The proposed development consists of two commerce centers with seven industrial
buildings totaling approximately 1.32 million square feet (SF) (Exhibit C - Site Plan). The
building heights are 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 as Light Industrial (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 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 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, and 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 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 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.

and City Council with a finding of "no conflict with airport uses" for the proposed Schnitzer
Commerce Parks development.
