Learn about Gateway Airport planning boundaries
by Mesa Independent
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is working to update its Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the airport and the surrounding area, which includes part of the city of Mesa, the towns of Gilbert and Queen Creek, and unincorporated Maricopa and Pinal counties. A public meeting will be held to share updates with the public on the ALUCP process at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Chandler-Gilbert Community College at Gateway, Bridget Hall within the Higley Room, 7360 E. Tahoe Ave. in Mesa.
The primary focus of the ALUCP update is to examine the suitability of the current Airport Planning Area boundaries, overflight zones, and land use planning policies. PGMAA is committed to ensuring that contemporary tools and methodologies are reflected in the preparation of the ALUCP update, including reevaluated long-term aircraft noise exposure and land use planning guidelines. The ALUCP will reflect the intent of PMGAA to protect for long-term compatibility of the Airport with surrounding communities by preventing the encroachment of non-compatible land uses into areas of long-term noise exposure risk.
