LEG‐1B: Develop state legislation to protect AZARNG missions statewide. Primary Party:
The JLUS partner jurisdictions, the AZARNG, and the Arizona Military Affairs
Commission should advocate to the state legislature to develop military compatibility
legislation and broaden notification and planning requirements to provide
protections to AZARNG missions. This legislation should be applicable to AZARNG
sites statewide, not just in Pinal County, and could be applicable to all military
installations in Arizona. The legislation would enhance compatible planning for new
development and promote improved coordination and communication between
existing property owners and AZARNG sites.
Items that should be considered for the legislation include, but are not limited to:
Establishing areas around military installations and operational areas where
notification to property owners should occur;
Require policies, goals, and mapping to enhance compatible land use planning
and zoning within the specified distance from military sites; and
Requiring coordination by developers, property owners, and municipal planning
organizations with military installations prior to beginning projects within the
areas.

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
LG‐1A: Develop LED billboard ordinances. Primary Parties:
The JLUS partner jurisdictions should amend their zoning ordinances to include
lighting standards for electronic and LED billboards that minimize light trespass.
Restricting them from areas where the AZARNG conducts nighttime training, such as
in the Helicopter Night Training MCA, should be considered.
