IV. INTRODUCTION, HISTORY, AND PURPOSE OF REQUEST The southwest corner of Dysart Road and Northern Avenue is a proposed commercial and industrial development to be known as the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center. The property is bounded by Dysart Road on the east and Northern Avenue on the north and is located directly adjacent to Luke Air Force Base. Directly south is base housing and approximately one mile east is the nearest runway. This places the property within the 65-69ldn, 70-74ldn, and 75-79ldn high noise zones, but outside of any accident potential zones. A Rezoning case (Z2008101) was filed on this property in 2008; however, subsequent to that filing, Maricopa County was involved in a lawsuit with the State of Arizona regarding development of the land around Luke Air Force Base, which includes the subject property. As a part of the settlement in that lawsuit, the County adopted the Military Airport and Ancillary Military Facility Overlay which created the Military Compatibility Permit process to enforce zoning regulations around Luke Air Force Base in lieu of the traditional zoning applied for originally. As the traditional industrial and commercial zoning request was no longer valid, the Rezoning case was modified into the subject Military Compatibility Permit request. The purpose of this request is to obtain the necessary Military Compatibility Permit in order to develop the proposed project with the desired uses. The current zoning on the site is Rural-43 with the Military Airport and Ancillary Military Facility Zoning Overlay. This zoning allows only limited residential or agricultural uses without a Military Compatibility Permit, is generally incompatible with the County s Comprehensive Plan, Glendale s General Plan, and the continued operations of Luke Air Force Base. The property is within the White Tanks/Grand Avenue Area Plan, as well as the City of Glendale Planning area. The proposed development is in conformance with both the County s White Tanks Grand Avenue Area Plan designation of Military Compatible and the City of Glendale General Plan designation of Luke Compatible, as both require uses compatible with the adjacent Luke Air Force Base. Development of this site for non-residential uses in support the above plans and continued Luke operations will require approval of the requested Military Compatibility Permit. V. SITE ANALYSIS / EXISTING CONDITIONS A portion of the property was recently acquired by MCDOT for the Northern Parkway reducing the site from 163 acres to 132 acres. This explains the reduction in size from the originally filed Rezoning request. More specifically, the request concerns Assessor Parcel Number 501-52-002C. (See Figure 1, Vicinity Map and Figure 2, Aerial Photo) The subject property, as well as the much of the surrounding area is either developed as part of Luke Air Force Base, farmed for crop production, or developed with industrial uses. The site is adjacent to the existing roadways of Dysart Road and Northern Avenue. The southern 6
edge of the property is directly adjacent to the Dysart Drain, a Luke Air Force Base structure diverting water from the north side of the Base to the Agua Fria River. As the property is currently being farmed, there are several irrigation ditches and dirt roads dotting the site. Figure 3, Context Photos and Key map, provides a photographic view of the site and surrounding area. VI. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL On behalf of Dysart and Northern, LLC, Beus Gilbert PLLC, is proposing this application for Military Compatibility Permit on approximately 132 net acres for the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center. The Commerce Center is planned to include a variety of employment and commercial uses consisting of a mix of manufacturing, warehousing, office, as well as retail and service commercial uses. Employment/industrial is the predominant use, covering roughly 112 net acres of the site. A commercial/retail parcel will be 20 net acres and located directly adjacent to the southwest corner of Dysart Road and Northern Avenue. Legal descriptions of the parcels are included as Exhibit A. The commercial/retail parcel has been strategically placed at the southwest corner of the major intersection of Northern Avenue and Dysart Road to provide for retail and service uses in support of the future employment both inside and outside the subject property. The proposed commercial/retail represents roughly only 15% of the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center and an even smaller percentage of the surrounding area designated in the County Comprehensive Plan for Military Compatible Uses and Mixed Use Employment. With a large amount of employment uses planned for the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center as well as the surrounding land under the Luke AFB noise contours, a significant number of employees and business patrons will be in the area surrounding Northern Avenue and Dysart Road. These employees and patrons will need retail and service uses that are neither permitted nor appropriate within an industrial district. By allowing for a small amount of land for retail and service uses within the Commerce Center, these uses can be provided for internally thereby creating a unified and sustainable employment area as well as potentially reducing the vehicular trips into and out of the employment area on the surrounding roadways. The commercial/retail parcel is expected to develop with a floor area ratio (FAR) of approximately.20, creating roughly 175,000 square feet of retail space. The 112 net acre employment/industrial parcel is expected to be developed with a variety of employment uses including manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution, along with offices and laboratories, which will become significant employers for the area. Given the majority of the site will be developed with employment and commerce uses, when a precise plan of development is submitted, the circulation system will take into account the potential for large trucks and will provide wider driveways and roadways where necessary in order to allow for efficient and safe movement of these large vehicles. 7
Military Compatible Uses As part of the Military Compatibility Permit request, a specific list of allowed uses is being presented for the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center, which spans the 65-69, 70-74, and 75-79 LDN high noise zones. As a part of the requirements for the filing of this Military Compatibility Permit request, we submitted for a Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination (UCCD). The purpose of the UCCD is to allow Luke Air Force Base to review the requested uses and make a determination that this MCP application will be compatible and consistent with Luke operations. Attached as Exhibit B is a January 5, 2012 letter from Luke Air Force Base indicating that the requested list of uses, subject to the included special development standards have been determined to be compatible and consistent with the high noise and accident potential of a military airport. All uses on the property must conform to this list, unless specifically allowed by both the County and Luke Air Force Base. All development and/or operations of the uses on the following list must also conform to the following special development standards. Uses that do not meet these standards at the time of permitting, or as determined at a later date jointly by Maricopa County and Luke Air Force Base, are deemed incompatible and inconsistent with Luke operations and will not be allowed to initiate or continue operation. Existing operations that are determined to be in violation of these special development standards shall be placed in violation with enforcement proceedings pursuant to Chapter 15 (or as amended) of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. Special Development Standards 1) No building or structure of any kind shall exceed 48 in height. 2) No use shall result in the release of any substance into the air the would impair visibility or otherwise interfere with operating aircraft, such as any of the following: a) Steam, dust, and smoke. b) Direct or indirect reflective light emissions. c) Electrical emissions that would interfere with aircraft and air force communications or navigational aid systems or aircraft navigational equipment. d) The attraction of birds or waterfowl. e) Explosive facilities or similar activities. Following are the permitted uses within the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center Military Compatibility Permit. This list does not include any uses that were not included within Luke s determination of compatibility and consistency attached as Exhibit B; however, in discussions with County Planning Staff and as a part of the conditions of approval from the Board of Supervisors, certain uses that were deemed compatible and consistent by Luke AFB have been removed. 8

A POD for the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center will be submitted at a later date in accordance with Section 306 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance when a final layout for the property has been determined. All Precise Plans of Development will be presented before the Planning 11
and Zoning Commission for a recommendation before being heard by the Board of Supervisors for their consideration. No subdivision of the land is proposed at this time. If in the future separate parcels are needed, the appropriate land division will be filed with the County. No specific users or tenants have been determined. Drainage and water retention within the project has yet to be determined at this time. It will likely be a mix of surface retention and underground retention. It has also been discussed that the existing Dysart Drain channel located along the properties southern boundary could be used for a first 1/2-inch or first flush runoff detention concept provided that use of the channel is approved by Luke Air Force Base who owns and regulates the channel. A preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan Report and Plan are provided as part of this submittal; however, the actual details of the drainage and water retention for the site will be finalized with the submittal of the first Precise Plan of Development. VII. CONFORMANCE WITH AREA LAND USE PLANS A. County Land Use Plans The subject property is within the White Tanks/Grand Avenue Area Plan. That Plan designates the property as Military Compatible (See Figure 6, Existing County Area Plan). Following is an excerpt from the Plan detailing the Military Compatible land use. While growth is expected in the planning area, existing state laws will constrain new growth in areas around Luke Air Force Base and the Auxiliary Airfield #1 in the city of Surprise. These laws establish that only certain uses are consistent and compatible with the high noise or accident potential generated by military airports (Luke Air Force Base) and ancillary military facilities (Auxiliary Airfield #1). Therefore, these areas are designated in Maricopa County s Comprehensive Plan and this area plan as Military Compatible. The Military Compatible designation includes areas located within the state statute defined High Noise or Accident Potential Zone of Luke Air Force Base and the Auxiliary Airfield #1. State statute defines this area as being within the noise contours that surround these facilities and the accident potential zones that extend off the ends of their runways. The purpose of this designation is to assure development is consistent and compatible with the high noise and accident potential generated by military airport and ancillary military facility operations that have or may have an adverse effect on public health and safety. This designation is established in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes 28-8461 and 28-8481 and only those uses identified as consistent and compatible with the high noise or accident potential generated by these facilities are allowed. Other uses may also be permitted upon mutual consent of Luke Air Force Base and 12
Maricopa County. The consistent and compatible uses are identified in Chapter 10, Section 1010 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. The White Tanks/Grand Avenue Area Plan identifies several goals and policies that support the proposed development plan for the subject property, some of which are discussed below. Land Use Goal L1: Promote efficient land development that is compatible with adjacent land uses, is well integrated with the transportation system, and is sensitive to the natural environment. Objective L1.3: Encourage high quality commercial centers and well-designed office, business, and industrial parks that are properly located proximate to populated areas and transportation facilities. The requested Military Compatibility Permit includes uses that will allow the subject property to be developed with retail and service commercial as well as employment and industrial uses and not under the current residential zoning. The proposed non-residential is compatible with the adjacent Luke Air Force Base and is properly located between the population centers of Luke AFB and Surprise and directly adjacent to Northern Parkway. Goal L2: Protect the public health, safety, and welfare in areas around Luke Air Force Base and other noise generating centers. Objective L2.2: Encourage development patterns and standards compatible with the continuing operation of military and civilian airports, automotive proving grounds, and racetracks. If approved, the requested Military Compatibility Permit will remove the ability for residential to be developed under the Luke Air Force Base high noise contours. Goal L3: Define future policies for subareas Objective L3.6: Within the Luke Subarea, encourage development to be compatible with Luke Air Force Base and the Urban Service Area. The uses requested as a part of the Military Compatibility Permit have been deemed by Luke Air Force Base to be compatible and consistent with their continued operations. 13
Economic Development Goal ED1: Promote a growing, balanced, efficient, and diversified economy, consistent with available resources, that enhances quality employment opportunities, improves quality of life, and is sensitive to the natural and cultural environment. Objective ED1.3: Encourage a wide range of commercial activities at the intersections of roads of regional significance and where roads of regional significance intersect major freeways. The requested Military Compatibility Permit requests commercial and industrial uses at the prominent intersection of Dysart Road (an arterial) and Northern Parkway (an urban freeway). B. City of Glendale Land Use Plans The project falls within the City of Glendale s planning area. The City of Glendale General Plan Land Use designation for this site is Luke Compatible Land Uses (LUCU) as shown in Figure 7. The Luke Compatible Land Uses category is described in the General Plan as follows: The Luke Compatible Land Use Area category designation is adjacent to Luke Air Force Base and is delineated by the 1988 JLUS 65 ldn noise contour created by military flight operations. The General Plan recognizes and supports the state legislation related to the continued, viable operations of military installations. Residential and other noise sensitive land uses, particularly those which include large gatherings of people, are discouraged in the LUCU. Existing, approved noisesensitive uses are strongly encouraged to employ additional sound attenuation through select building materials and design. Retention of agricultural uses and future industrial development are supported by this category to afford viable, economic use of property, and as a protection of public health and safety. Based on the proposed land use mix of employment/industrial and commercial uses, Luke Air Force Base has indicated that the proposal is compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential of a military airport. They have agreed that the proposed mix of employment/industrial and commercial uses is compatible with Luke operations. The City of Glendale General Plan however, defines that any land use that allows for a large gathering of people is not compatible with Luke operations and Glendale has indicated that the requested uses could place large numbers of employees and patrons on the property; therefore, they interpret the request to not be in conformance with their General Plan. The proposed Military Compatibility Permit is in conformance with the White Tanks/Grand Avenue Area Plan as well as Arizona State Statutes, and most importantly it is supported by Luke Air Force Base. This proposal is being brought before Maricopa County and your plan 14
provisions, along with the no objection letter from Luke AFB, should supersede Glendale s opinions and plan provisions. VIII. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: East: South: West: Agricultural Salt manufacturing Luke Air Force Base Housing and Luke Elementary School Wholesale Plant Nursery With the exception of Luke Air Force Base and the Luke Elementary School directly south of the subject property, there has been little lasting development in the surrounding area. The 160 acres to the immediate west of the project has been developed with a wholesale plant nursery. To the east across Dysart Road is a propane storage facility and drying ponds associated with the salt manufacturing operation located quarter mile southeast of the site. The land to the north remains as agriculture crop production. See Figure 2, Aerial Photo and Figure 3, Context Photos and Key Map. Luke Air Force Base The subject property is located directly adjacent to Luke Air Force Base. Directly south is base housing and approximately one mile east is the nearest runway. This places the property within the 65-69ldn, 70-74ldn, and 75-79ldn high noise zones, but outside of any accident potential zones. Pursuant to conformance with ARS 28-8481 retail, personal and business services and industrial/manufacturing would be allowed on the subject property as these uses are deemed compatible with Luke operations by both the State and Luke Air Force Base. If the requested Military Compatibility Permit is approved, the ability of the property to develop residentially will be removed and also pursuant to statutes, certain uses that are not compatible with Luke, such as schools, hotels, motels, and hospitals would not be permitted. As part of this Military Compatibility Permit Application, we have presented the request to the Luke Air Force Base Community Initiatives Team by way of a Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination (UCCD) request. The purpose of the UCCD is to allow Luke Air Force Base to review the requested uses and make a determination that this MCP application will be compatible and consistent with Luke operations. Attached as Exhibit B is a January 5, 2012 letter from Luke Air Force Base indicating that the requested list of uses and development standards are determined to be compatible and consistent with the high noise and accident potential of a military airport. As a part of the conditions of approval from the Board of Supervisors for this Military Compatibility Permit, certain uses that were deemed compatible and consistent by Luke AFB have been removed from this narrative as allowed uses.. 15
IX. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY As discussed previously, the subject 132 net site is directly adjacent to Dysart Road and Northern Avenue. Four and a half miles to the west along Northern Avenue is the Planned Loop 303 freeway and four and a half miles to the east is the existing Loop 101 Freeway. Six miles to the south along Dysart Road is the existing I-10 Freeway. Northern Avenue in front of the property is currently under construction to become Northern Parkway. This high capacity parkway is a multi-jurisdictional roadway being designed and planned by the Cities of Glendale, Peoria, El Mirage, as well as Maricopa County. We have been told that while ultimately designed in front of the subject property as a full access control urban freeway with a grade-separated interchange at Dysart Road, the first phase of construction will consist of a four lane divided roadway utilizing an at-grade traffic signal at Dysart Road. The first phase of development with the interim roadway included right-ofway acquisition in front of the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center and is currently under construction. The subsequent phases of the parkway including the access controlled freeway in front of the property is dependent on several funding sources and a detailed timeline for construction is unknown. When finally completed, the parkway will link the Loop 303 freeway and the Loop 101 freeway with a full access control roadway. Although the construction of the roadway will be the responsibility of the various jurisdictions and not the property owner or developer, we have designed around the parkway design and support its construction. While the location of the parkway directly adjacent to the subject property supports its development as employment under the Comprehensive Plan, the actual development of the parkway does not affect this application nor is development of the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center linked directly to the development of the parkway. Only the Precise Plan of Development, which will need to be approved prior to any land development, is affected by any future designs changes of the Northern Parkway. The Precise Plan for the Dysart and Northern Commerce Center will come in the future as will the continued development of the plans and timeline for the Northern Parkway. X. CIRCULATION SYSTEM Off-site: The subject property is directly adjacent to Dysart Road and Northern Avenue. Both of these streets are dedicated as County Roadways and planned as Arterial Roadways within 55 halfstreet easements. Northern Avenue is currently developed to with a minimum roadway of a single lane in either direction on approximate 24 of pavement. Northern does flare out to 68 with two lanes in each direction and a left hand turn lane at its intersection with Dysart Road. Dysart Road is developed with two lanes in each direction and a center turn lane within 68 of pavement. 16
As part of development of this property, both arterial roadways will be developed to their full half street along the property s frontage. As noted previously, the Northern Parkway is planned generally along the Northern Avenue alignment and when built will run adjacent to the subject property. The current parkway alignment and right-of-way has been shown on our Military Compatibility Permit plan (Figure 6). The Northern Parkway will be a limited access freeway with no access serving the subject property unless by way of frontage roads. Development of the parkway and associated drainage improvements, along with acquisition of the right-of-way for those improvements, will be the responsibility of the appropriate governmental agencies. On-site: Development of the property will be subject to a Precise Plan of Development. More details will be available on the specific mix of industrial and commercial users at that time and their actual layout. Given that a majority of the site will be developed with employment uses, when a precise plan is submitted, the on-site circulation system will take into account the potential for large trucks and will provide wider driveways and roadways where necessary in order to allow for efficient and safe movement of these large vehicles. As shown in the Military Compatibility Permit exhibit (Figure 5), conceptually the Commerce Center will be designed around a central collector roadway which will serve as a continuation of the existing Northern Avenue when the planned Northern Parkway is constructed. This conceptual collector will head south from Northern Avenue at its half mile point between Dysart Road and Litchfield Road and will curve to an east/west alignment in the middle of the property and connect to Dysart Road on the eastern edge of the property. This central collector roadway will provide connections to secondary collector roadways that link the other areas of the property. XI. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE The property will be developed in multiple phases. Due to the conceptual nature, timing of the phases is not yet known. Approval of the commercial and employment/industrial uses by way of the requested Military Compatibility Permit will afford the property owner the ability to market the property and secure viable development not available with the current residential zoning. As the actual breakdown of users and the size and layout of those users is determined a detailed development schedule can be provided at the time of the submittal of the first Precise Plan of Development. No subdivision of the land is proposed at this time. If in the future separate parcels are needed, the appropriate land division will be filed with the County. 17
XII. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES School District The subject property is located within the Dysart Unified School District. As a commercial and industrial only project, no further demand will be placed on the school district with approval of this request. XIII. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES Utility Infrastructure Currently the subject parcel lacks the needed utility infrastructure for development. Prior to submitting Precise Plans of Development the property owner will need to address the lack of infrastructure with the County and provide the necessary utilities. The property is located within the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for the Valley Utilities Water Company, who has water lines in Dysart Road south of the property. We have begun dialogue with them regarding the infrastructure they will need to serve the site and they have provided a will serve letter (Exhibit C). The overall commerce center is currently located with the City of Glendale s MAG 208 service area however they do not have any infrastructure available to serve the property and do not object to sewer service by way of a private provider. We have been in discussions with LPSCO/Algonquin (now Liberty Water) in order to modify the MAG 208 plan as well as expand their service area to include the subject property. As a part of the discussions, they have provided a will serve letter (Exhibit D). In 2008 when this case was first being considered by way of a Rezoning, the City of Glendale indicated that they had no desire to serve as the sewer provider for the subject parcel and did not object to us working with LPSCO/Algonquin for sewer. By way of an email dated March 27, 2012, from the City of Glendale Land Development Engineer, they continue to indicate that they do not object to a private company providing sewer service to the future development. A copy of this email is included as Exhibit E.. Conceptual Water and Sewer Master Plans have been prepared and included as part of the previous Rezoning request submittal. These conceptual plans provide an idea of how water and sewer infrastructure will be included for the eventual development of the property and have been reviewed and approved by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department. More detailed information for review will be provided with the first Precise Plan of Development submittal once an actual layout and users are determined. Utility Providers: Water: Valley Utilities (will serve letter provided) Wastewater disposal: LPSCO/ Algonquin (will serve letter provided) Fire Protection: Rural Metro 18
