PHOENIX — Maricopa County has stopped issuing building permits in accident-potential zones near Luke Air Force Base and its auxiliary fields.
The Board of Supervisors took the action 10 days after Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard filed a lawsuit seeking to force the county to comply with state law designed to protect the base.
Goddard accused the county of breaking the 2004 law by issuing building permits on land too close to Luke and the Luke field known as Aux 1, about 15 miles north of the base. He says the future of Luke and its $2-billion-plus economic impact could be jeopardized.
Supervisor Max Wilson says the decision maintains the status quo while the suit makes its way through the courts. Goddard says he now doesn't need to seek a temporary injunction.
