In an August work session, the Eloy City Council had an opportunity to take a position on a proposed airstrip that will require a major comprehensive plan amendment through Pinal County.
Larry Hill , owner of Airborne Support Group, affiliated with Skydive Arizona, is involved in submitting the request to the County, and as a part of that process, Pinal County provides a 60-day review period to municipalities or others who may be impacted by the change in planned land use.
The seller of the property, Outer Ring, LLC, has requested that the land use designation be changed from “Very Low Density Residential” to “Secondary Airport.” The site is about 10 miles south of Interstate 10 and about 5-6 miles south of Arizona City and west of Sunland Gin Road.
Shawn Hill, representative for Airborne Support Group, and Planner Jackie Guthrie clarified that the plans are for an airstrip and not an airport.
Note: Runway length later in story should read 3,400 to 4,000 feet.
