FORWARDED FROM A CONCERNED TAXPAYER - THANK YOU!

FYI- County Meeting for Community Zoning, Pojoaque Meeting tomorrow at 9AM..Please Share.

Hi all,  this is just a heads-up concerning the zoning map meetings being suddenly held by the county, as in the county's message today (the 11th) from Chrisann Romero:

Santa Fe County is in the process of assigning SLDC base zoning districts in community planning districts, . The assignment of base zoning districts in the plan areas represents a significant change from the SLDC Preliminary Zoning Map October 2013 . . . .

Keep in mind the following from the recently adopted SLDC from CHAPTER NINE – COMMUNITY DISTRICTS:

9.3. EFFECT OF SLDC ON EXISTING COMMUNITY DISTRICTS.

Prior to the adoption of the SLDC, numerous community districts were established by ordinance, and these individual community district ordinances shall remain in effect until such time as new community plans are adopted in accordance with Chapter 2, and a corresponding O-CD is established in accordance with Chapter 8.  --emphasis added

I 'm not the only one concerned that the zoning map is not going to reflect our community plans but will be imposing zoning that may be quite contrary to them.  It may also be that:

--there was not even a legal amount of time for public notice of these meetings,

--the county is not following their own code and plan.

If it turns out that there is a problem--that there is heavy-handed zoning being imposed--people could ask at their appointed meeting, such questions as:  What is the criteria for this?  

Community District Zoning Map Review Schedule-All meetings will be held in the County Commission Chambers
