Florence Military Reservation
The MACOD for Florence Military Reservation is shown on Figure 13. There are three
MCAs identified for Florence Military Reservation.
Land Use MCA (Figure 14)
Impact Noise MCA (Figure 15)
Airspace Protection MCA (Figure 16)
Land Use MCA (Figure 14)
The Florence Military Reservation Land Use MCA is composed of all current parcels that
have at least 25 percent of the parcel located within ½ mile of Florence Military
Reservation’s boundary. The boundary is based on existing parcel lines so that any
recommendations implemented within this MCA apply to an entire parcel instead of a
portion of it. Strategies associated with this MCA are related to land use planning, real
estate disclosures (as part of real estate transactions), including notes on platting
documents, and providing education and awareness to surrounding property owners.
The Land Use MCA should also serve as a notification area for the AZARNG on proposed
developments.
Future development within this MCA should be characterized by lower density / intensity
development scheme, such as one dwelling unit per acre for residential and promoting
uses that are compatible with military activities, when considering its proximity to
military installations and activities.
Impact Noise MCA (Figure 15)
The Impact Noise MCA includes all land that lies outside of the primary training area of
Florence Military Reservation (including land leased from the Arizona State Land
Department and Bureau of Land Management) and within the Noise Zone II (87 to
104 dB) area associated with live weapons firing ranges at Florence Military Reservation,
as described in the AZARNG Statewide Operational Noise Management Plan. While the
ASLD land leased as part of the impact area is included within the primary training area
boundaries, the Special Land Use Permit land that is leased from ASLD for 22 days per
year is not included. Due to increased noise levels in this MCA, noise‐sensitive land uses
such as residential, schools, and places of worship should be restricted in this MCA.
