Airport Conflict Evaluation
Cambridge Medical Hospital
Near Northwest Corner of Insight Way and Gilbert Road
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 Cambridge Medical Hospital development.
Background
The project is a 99-bed specialty hospital and medical office building complex located on
approximately 8.12 acres north of the northwest corner of Gilbert Road and Insight Way
(Exhibit A - Vicinity Map, Exhibit B - Property Location). The property is zoned PAD for C-3 type
uses. Adjacent land uses include commercial and commerce park uses. The request is to
permit a mid-rise overlay to allow building heights up to 75 feet.
In 2020, the site received prior approval for a climbing gym with mid-rise overlay for
building heights up to 65 feet.
The site is approximately two-tenths (0.20) of a mile to the east of the Airport property line
and is not located within any noise contours (Exhibit A- Vicinity Map, Exhibit B- Property
Location).
The proposed development consists of three (3) buildings totaling approximately 1.32
million square feet (SF) (Exhibit C - Site Plan). The north building is a medical office building
totaling approximately 50,200 square feet with a subterranean, four-level parking garage
with 283 parking bays. The maximum building height for the north building is 56’6”. The
central and south buildings are a 99-bed specialty hospital consisting of 156,000 square
feet with four (4) stories. The central and south building heights range from 65 to 70 feet
tall with a single 75-foot tower feature.
The City of Chandler General Plan designates the property for Employment and Growth
Areas. The 2021 Chandler Airpark Area Plan (CAAP) designates the property as Commercial
Office (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.
