In June of 2011, the Mesa City Council approved the Falcon Field Airport Planned Area Development Design Standards (PAD) to enhance and standardize the quality of exterior improvements on buildings located at Falcon Field Airport.    

Since then, several privately funded projects have been constructed at the airport, and the exterior appearance of numerous existing buildings have been enhanced through the application of the Standards.  Through administration and enforcement, the City has concluded that minor revisions are warranted due to the unique environment of the airport. 

In cooperation with the City Development Services Department, the decision was made to review the existing PAD Standards and modify them to better meet the City’s intent and purpose for the airport. The proposed revisions will not compromise the high standards for quality.  

To ensure that the airport tenants and surrounding community have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with and comment on the proposed revisions, a Citizen Participation Meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, February 7, 2022, in the Falcon Field Airport terminal building, 4800 E. Falcon Drive, Mesa, AZ  85215. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. This meeting invitation is also extended to businesses located within 1,000 feet of the airport. During this meeting, City staff will respond to questions regarding the proposed revisions.
