Los Alamos Planning Commission Approves Arbolada Subdivision Replat Proposal

The Los Alamos County Planning and Zoning Commission convened on August 27, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including public comments, approval of previous minutes, and a significant subdivision case.

The meeting began with a public comment section, which was reserved for remarks on items not included in the agenda. However, no comments were received from the public, leading the Commission to proceed with the approval of the evening's agenda. Commissioner Nelson made a motion to approve, which was seconded by Commissioner Bruhl. A roll call vote followed, with all present commissioners voting in favor, resulting in the motion passing unanimously.

Next, the Commission reviewed the minutes from the previous meeting held on August 13, 2025. After confirming that all commissioners had reviewed the minutes and found no edits necessary, Commissioner Piazza moved to approve the minutes, with a second from another commissioner. The roll call vote showed approval from all but Commissioner Broom, who abstained due to his absence at the prior meeting. The motion passed.

The primary case discussed was SUB 20250022, presented by Titan Development on behalf of property owners Sonya Danielson and Sandy Kramer. The request involved final subdivision plot approval to replat the previously approved 85-lot Arbolada Subdivision into 23 lots and 4 tracts. The property, located at 659 San Ildefazio Road, is zoned for single-family residential use within the North Mesa community. The Commission noted that their decision must adhere to the criteria outlined in Chapter 16 of the county code, known as the development code.

The meeting highlighted the Commission's ongoing efforts to manage land use and development in Los Alamos County, with the subdivision case representing a significant adjustment to local planning. Further discussions and decisions regarding this case are expected in future meetings as the Commission continues to evaluate community development needs.
