operations.

Location:
Project Area
Pinal County and incorporated municipalities approve cellular communication towers
within the JLUS Project Area but do not coordinate with the AZARNG in order to
identify their potential impacts on military flight operations.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
VO‐2A: Incorporate FAR Part 77 review documentation as a condition for project
approval. Primary Parties:
The JLUS partner jurisdictions should update their communication tower approval
process to require developers to submit proof that a proposed development was
submitted through the FAR Part 77 obstruction evaluation process and was found to
have no known impact on airspace navigation.
