AGENCY REVIEW:
As part of the review process, all land use cases are reviewed by various city and outside agencies, staff have received comments from YCAA Inc., ADOT, and The City of San Luis Fire Department.
The Yuma County Airport Authority provided the following comments: "The property is near Rolle Airfield where aviation activity is expected to increase in the future. Residents are likely to experience noise and over flights. The City, public and airport shall be held harmless from effects that may be caused by aviation operations."
The Arizona Department of Transportation provided the following comments: "ADOT Southwest District requests the opportunity to review and comment on a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA would allow the Department the opportunity to assess the effects the increased traffic from the proposed development would have on the State Route 195 & Ave E intersection.".
The Fire Department provided the following comments: "The City of San Luis Fire Department has no comments at this time, but reserves the right to comment upon subsequent submittals. Final decisions regarding this request are best made by the Planning and Zoning Department."
