  21. STUDY AREA

  22. COMPATIBILITY CRITERIA • Avoid concentrations of people exposed to noise and safety hazards • Noise Criteria: • Limit exposure of people and noise-sensitive activities to high noise levels • Safety Criteria: • Limit concentrations of people and safety- sensitive activities in areas of highest probable accident impact

  23. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • Surprise General Plan Amendment is basis for defining compatible land use around Auxiliary Field #1; City is proceeding with review/adoption of GP Amendment. • Luke Air Force Base will proceed with updated noise study for future Auxiliary Field #1 operations.

  24. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • Recommend that State law be revised to allow counties to manage growth and development in the same way as cities. • Maricopa County to maintain current planned land use and zoning around Auxiliary Field #1 until annexed by City of Surprise or until County Comprehensive Plan and zoning revised to more compatible use.

  25. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • Provide compatible land uses that will support Auxiliary Field #1 with successor aircraft, and recognize that mission may change, involving takeoffs / landings at the Field.

  26. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • Define a “Vicinity Box” for Auxiliary Field #1, and recommend that notification be required consistent with provisions for other military airports. • Define APZs at both ends of the Auxiliary Field #1 runway.

  27. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • Recommend that an ongoing body be designated to address ongoing land use coordination and implementation issues for Auxiliary Field #1 – possibly as a subcommittee of the Luke West Valley Council.

  28. STUDY DIRECTION / RECOMMENDATIONS • LANTIRN pattern is to be relocated no later than December ’04 to an unknown location; Luke Air Force Base LAFB to pursue analysis for LANTIRN operations as part of future studies.
