The Mesa Design Review Board will meet Tuesday, July 14 to consider a nearly 268KSF proposed expansion to an existing Boeing manufacturing facility on the east side of Greenfield Road north of McDowell Road.
The proposed building totals 267,761SF and has a planned height of 60 feet, according to materials prepared for the Board.
The one-story building is proposed as a Boeing Fabrication Center, adjacent to an existing Boeing Fabrication Center totaling 158.5KSF, and will be used “for fabrication of highly specialized carbon military parts,” according to the project narrative.
The vacant site is on the existing Boeing Company Campus, which surrounds the location on the north, south and east. Greenfield Road lies to the west. The current zoning is Light Industrial, which allows limited manufacturing as a permitted use.
According to the narrative, “The building is setbacks from Greenfield Road within a Boeing secure area, with a parking lot located outside of the secure perimeter along Greenfield Road. The site provides enhanced landscape areas along Greenfield Road, screen walls framing the driveway entrances, and the pedestrian pathways with dedicated open space and patios. The building is surrounded by open space with a detached central utility plant to the southwest. The proposed building will utilize the loading areas along the east and south side of the existing Boeing Fabrication Center building, keeping them screened from public view. The existing truck inspection security booth with vehicle access located along the south side of the existing building will be used by the proposed building as well for deliveries to and from the Fabrication Facility.”
