LG‐2C: Educate communities on "Dark‐Sky" standards. Primary Parties:
The JLUS partner communities should consider educating their constituents about
light pollution and explore implementing "Dark‐Sky" lighting standards for all fixtures,
through lighting regulations in zoning laws.

LG‐3: Future growth may impact night training at Silverbell Army Heliport and
Picacho Peak Stagefield.
Location:
Silverbell Army Heliport /
Picacho Peak Stagefield
Night training occurs in the region around Silverbell Army Heliport and Picacho Peak
Stagefield. Future growth around the installation and operational areas, especially
near approach and departure routes, could impact night vision training capabilities.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
LG‐3A: Update outdoor lighting regulations to address military compatibility. Primary Parties:
The JLUS partner jurisdictions should consider reviewing and updating their outdoor
lighting regulations, or establishing outdoor lighting regulations if none exist, to
accommodate nighttime training needs within the Tactical Flight Training Area.
Requirements should include downward directed lighting and shielding of light
fixtures to minimize light trespass.

LG‐3B: Develop standard military compatibility lighting along roadways. Primary Parties:
The Arizona Department of Transportation and the local jurisdictions should work
together to implement (and potentially retrofit) lighting standards along roadways
within Pinal County to balance driver safety with nighttime training within the Tactical
Flight Training Area. Requirements should include downward directed lighting and
shielding of light fixtures to minimize light trespass. This would also minimize
regional roadway light trespass.
