Flight fight: Sky Harbor and Tempe butt heads over proposed Coyotes development - Phoenix Business Journal

“Our region is known for collaboration and responsible action,” Woods said in a statement. “It is unprecedented for a neighboring city to stuff mailboxes with its opinion about an unapproved development project.”, the aviation director for the city of Phoenix and the head of Sky Harbor said that the mailers weren’t meant to scare, but to let residents know about a real possibility of flight path changes if Tempe goes through with the project as it is currently proposed.

At first, the airport said it had several problems with the development, but since the initial plans were released by the Coyotes, the team and its developers have made some changes to the plan so the only issue now is with the apartments. The airport and the FAA have said having those apartment units within less than a mile and a half from the edge of the runway are a concern. In 1994, Phoenix and Tempe signed an intergovernmental agreement that, among other things, kept flight paths from Sky Harbor along the river bottoms. Makovsky said by allowing apartments to be built within such close proximity to the airport, Tempe is violating a 1994 agreement between Phoenix and Tempe.

Tempe and Woods disagree with Makovsky’s and Phoenix’s interpretation of the 1994 agreement and actually believe Phoenix is trying to enforce a plan written up in 1999 that Tempe said it did not agree to.Tempe, which owns the land the Coyotes want to build on, has requested that the city’s Development Review Commission hear a case to rezone the land, which is currently a landfill, to high-density, mixed-use. That hearing will be on Nov. 15.
