COM‐1I: AZARNG coordinate with Phoenix‐Mesa Gateway Airport regarding sharing
existing compatible land use tools. Primary Party:
During the JLUS process, Phoenix‐Mesa Gateway Airport offered to share several
tools that they utilize with neighboring communities to protect land around the
airport from encroachment. These tools include airport property disclosure forms,
avigation easement language, draft zoning overlay language, and signage
requirements that were developed in the recent Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
The AZARNG should coordinate with the Airport to review these tools and identify
how it can be coordinated with the communities around the AZARNG sites to help
guide future compatible development.

COM‐2: Increase public awareness of AZARNG activities.
Location:
The AZARNG has a limited program for increasing public awareness about the
AZARNG training sites and the activities that occur at them. Providing the
communities near the sites with information regarding the types of activities that
occur, the operations that may impact land use nearby, and the value of the training
facilities can improve relationships between the AZARNG and local communities.
Increased awareness will also support future land use planning that minimizes or
mitigates compatibility issues.

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
COM‐2A: Develop a public education campaign for local communities. Primary Party:
AZARNG should create an outreach plan to share information with nearby
communities. The public outreach program should describe outreach activities,
including possible installation tours / open houses, informational brochures to be
distributed by mail and the AZARNG website, and other informational events and
media, as well as provide contact information for public relations personnel at
AZARNG. It should also include a military and community communication protocol
directory that identifies the different communication channels between appointed
and elected officials, jurisdiction staff, and AZARNG officials, as well as between
representatives and the public.
