RE: TD-DEV-0326-00071, 1st Submittal, W Silver Recycling Tucson / 3440 E. 36th St, Tucson,
AZ. 85713, Received March 24, 2026
To whom this may concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0326-00071, 1st Submittal, a
development plan for converting an existing warehouse to recycling storage use at 3440 E. 36th
St. This development is located in the N.E. quarter of the N.W. quarter of Section 28, Township
14S, Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel
number 132-05-015V, covers approximately 4.08 ± acres, and is zoned as Heavy Industrial
Zone (I-2). The nearest major roadway intersection is State Route 210 and East 36th Street,
approximately 450 feet to the northeast of the subject development.
This site does lie within the Tucson International Airport avigation easement requirements and
public disclosure area, FAA traffic pattern airspace, and FAA Part 77 airspace.
The Tucson Airport Authority does not object to the 1st submittal of this project and does not
require a resubmittal of this project.
Although this project does not propose a change in plan designation or zoning the Tucson
Airport Authority highly recommends the applicant add the following notes into the general notes
of the revised development plan. This project is located approximately 4 miles northeast of
Tucson International Airport and is within FAA traffic pattern airspace, an area which would be
subject to aircraft overflight and noise due to being in close proximity to Tucson International
Airport.
The proposed notes would provide a means of assuring that future owners and tenants of the
property are aware they are in proximity an airport and further assures the continued right of the
City of Tucson, Tucson Airport Authority, and all persons lawfully utilizing the Tucson
International Airport the right to utilize the airspace above or near the property. This would be
accomplished through the property owner recording the Avigation Easement and providing the
Airport Disclosure Statement to the new residents of all residential uses. The Tucson Airport
Authority believes the proposed note helps to support the City of Tucson Airport Environs
Overlay Zone and supports Plan Tucson – Land Use 26.
1. "That prior to the City's approval of the proposed development, the property owner must
record the Avigation Easement that discloses the existence and operational
characteristics of the Tucson International Airport to future owners or tenants of the
property and further conveys the right to the public to lawfully use the airspace above the
property. The Avigation Easement shall be recorded in a manner with the Pima County
recorder which shall document it as having title liability. The content of such documents
shall be according to the form and instructions provided.”
The current property owner or person authorized to sign on behalf of the current property
owner must complete, sign, and record the Avigation Easement. Please record the
Avigation Easement with the Pima County Recorder’s Office. Then send a complete
copy of the recorded easement document to Tucson Airport Authority by either email
(send to srobidoux@flytucson.com) or to the mailing address provided below.

2. Applicable to residential uses only
“The property owner/developer/applicant must provide the Airport Disclosure Statement
form, at time of sale, to the new property owners with all new unit purchases. In the
event the development of any residential uses does not involve the sale of new units but
is instead offering rental residential units to the public, the new tenant of the rental unit
must be provided a copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form. The intent of the
Airport Disclosure Statement form is to educate and notify the new residents that they
are living near an airport. The content of such documents shall be according to the form
and instructions provided.”
The property owner (for itself or its tenants) shall forward a signed copy of the Airport
Disclosure Statement form to the Tucson Airport Authority within ten (10) days of
signature, using the Scott Robidoux mailing address provided above.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this
comment letter. I can be reached by email at srobidoux@flytucson.com or by telephone at 520-
