employee, I know the long-term eye sore this site has been and the need to “start from scratch”. Based on the information in the mailer regarding the property, you have my support.

I am opposed to the proposal fir another data center. i thought Chandmer passed a rule to stop allowing data centers due to theie high consumption of utilities, notably water. also, both singke family residences and multi family apartments are across the street from this site. There have been many compaots by re resdents of Clemente Ranch regardig the noise generated from te data centers further north on Dobson. Chandker, abd developers beed to recognize and resoect the residdntial quality of life in the Ocotillo community. I am jnabke to attend the meeting on March 3rd as I am traveling internationally. From: Sent: Saturday, March 1, 2025 2:05 PM To: Adam Baugh Subject: Regarding redevelopment of Orbital Sciences Corporation vacant lot Dear Sir, As a resident of the Ocotillo Community Association for the past five years, I and my family have come to value and appreciate the high standard of aesthetics, recreation, and local commerce that makes OCA a great place to live. One of the continual disappointments has been the vacant lot on the southwest corner of Price Road and Dobson Road. I recently received a notice that Active Infrastructure is requesting to rezone the property to allow for more flexibility with the space. I am unable to attend the public neighborhood meetings, but I wanted to register my support for this proposal for the following reasons: 1. A new facility on this corner will help restore the value of this vacant property and provide a face lift with a modern, attractive facility. 2. The proposed data center provides a visual barrier against the less-sightly, adjacent water treatment plant. And yet the datacenter is set back appropriately from housing across Dobson or Price Road, helping mitigate some of the ambient noise that data centers create. 3. The mixed-use commercial spaces in Downtown Ocotillo and other corners around OCA provide a heightened standard of living for local residents. Adding this additional space will enhance the appeal. I realize that there will be potential drawbacks, including additional traffic at this already busy intersection, and additional noise from the datacenter and other commercial activities. But none of these is any more significant than what is already created by the Intel campus immediately to the south. I believe that the city should seriously consider this proposal.

Arizona Ave. Chandler, AZ 85225 Subject: Support for the Redevelopment of 3380 S. Price Road Dear Mayor and Council, ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart Dear Mayor and Council, I am writing to express my strong support for the redevelopment of 3380 S. Price Road into the Price Road Innovation Campus. As you know, I’ve lived in this area for decades. For too long, this site has sat vacant and deteriorating —an eyesore in what should be a thriving business corridor. This project just makes good sense. I hope you support and don’t overlook the opportunity to replace blight, generate new tax revenue, and provide new jobs at a time when Chandler has felt the impact of losing multiple large employers. I drive by this site daily and redevelopment of this site is long overdue. The fact that a portion is a data center is not an issue for me. It screens out the unsightly city facilities behind it and leaves plenty of acreage for new employment buildings along Price Road. Frankly, I cannot imagine another employer who would want to go right next to the wastewater treatment facility with that foul odor. At least this project has a buffer for that. I’m afraid it will be a long time waiting before something better comes along. It’s already been 7 years of abandonment. How many more years do we need to wait before something else is proposed? The Price Road Innovation Campus will restore economic momentum to a blighted site that has been underutilized far too long. I hope you support this redevelopment and take advantage of this opportunity for growth, revitalization, and long-term prosperity. Thank you for your leadership and consideration. Sincerely, Jeff Stickelman From: Stefan Radloff To: David De La Torre Cc: Stefan Radloff Subject: PRICE ROAD INNOVATION CAMPUS comments Date: Friday, April 18, 2025 12:35:15 AM David – As a resident of Chandler and Ocotillo HOA since 1998, I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed redevelopment of the old Orbital campus, eg the “Price Road Innovation Campus.” The plan proposes to bring yet another data center to the Price Corridor, adding to at least 10 data centers we already have in the area. The City of Chandler does not need and cannot afford any more data centers: 1. Data centers provide virtually no employment once their construction is complete. 2. Data centers guzzle huge amounts of power – while at the same time SRP burdens every Chandler homeowner with a 15% rate hike to pay for the power generation and transmission capacity increases data centers require. 3. Data centers are consuming the last large prices of commercial real estate in Chandler while providing close nothing in return. (Although.. since data centers employ almost no one, they also require almost no space for parking lots.) Data centers consume land that could be occupied by companies like Wells Fargo, Intel, Northrop Grumman, Iridium, Dignity Health, Air Products etc that bring many bring high paying jobs to Chandler. 4. Data centers effectively convert the huge amounts of power they consume into heat, which is then dumped back into the Chandler air by the massive AC systems data centers provide.. We do not need more data centers dumping even more heat into the local south Chandler environment – our climate is already getting hotter and hotter at a frightening pace. The City of Chandler can and must do better bringing real jobs and real industry to the last available pieces of Chandler. Thank you. Stefan Radloff Chandler, AZ From: RICHARD HORWITZ To: David De La Torre Subject: Price Road Innovation Campus Date: Thursday, October 9, 2025 3:31:35 PM As residents of Chandler, Arizona, this email serves to register our objections to the proposed Price Road Innovation Campus, which would be located in close proximity to our residence. Our objections are based on the potential environmental and health impacts that are characteristic of data centers. Our research has indicated that negative potential outcomes include but are not limited to the following impacts of data centers: Large water requirements, placing a strain on already limited water resources. Generators contributing to particulate air pollution which could lead to respiratory problems and asthmatic symptoms. Disruptions to the electric grid. Excessive carbon dioxide emissions. Chemically treated cooling systems utilizing polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are “forever chemicals” possibly leading to cancer and high cholesterol. We do not wish to be a sacrifice zone for the data center boom. Richard and Bonnie Horwitz 2511 W. Queen Creek Road Chandler AZ 85248
