Commission approves rezoning of vacant Maxine Drive lot to allow duplex
Summary
The commission voted to rezone a vacant lot at 636 Maxine Drive from R‑1 to R‑2 to permit a duplex; staff recommended approval and no written public comments were received.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 3 approved rezoning of Lot 5, Block 8, Mary Lou Park subdivision at 636 Maxine Drive from R‑1 (single‑family) to R‑2 (medium‑density residential) to allow construction of a duplex.
Jose Odeo, planner with the City of Socorro, said the lot is 9,815 square feet, currently vacant, and the Socorro 2040 future‑land‑use map designates the property as suburban residential. Staff recommended approval.
Odeo showed a site plan and unit layout presented by the applicants, Humberto and Delia Muñoz. Staff said the subdivision has 94 R‑1 properties, three R‑2 properties and other mixed zoning; the neighborhood contains six vacant lots including the subject parcel. Notice was mailed to property owners within 200 feet; staff received no correspondence either for or against the request.
Commissioner Andrew Arroyos moved to approve; the motion carried.
