An aviation air flow test facility with a blast wall is to be constructed on 16 acres in the SkyBridge Arizona development at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
The look and landscaping for the industrial development east of Sossaman Road and north of Pecos Road were discussed at a recent meeting of the Mesa Design Review Board.
The property is zoned light industrial with a planned area development overlay, Staff Planner Sean Pesek said at the board’s June 13 meeting.
“This request is for an air-flow test facility associated with an aerospace manufacturer,” he said. “The site plan is showing two structures totaling over 5,500 square feet. There’s a control building, a control room, there’s a blast fence for the equipment and then there’s also a structure that contains the air-testing equipment.”
Trees include mulga, sonoran emerald palo verde, mesquite, ocotillo, bank catclaw and emu bush; and shrubs and vines include red bird of paradise, hopseed bush, emu bush, yellow yucca and Texas sage, according to the landscaping plan.
Glenn Klipfel of ADM Group Inc. is the applicant. SkyBridge LLC is the owner.
