Commission approves IZI No. 1 subdivision plat to formalize self-storage expansion on Sparks Circle
Summary
The commission approved preliminary and final plat for IZI No. 1 subdivision at 761 Sparks Circle to allow expansion of an existing self‑storage business, conditioned on meeting engineering review comments.
The Socorro City Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary and final plat for the IZI No. 1 subdivision at 761 Sparks Circle, a 1.52-acre commercial property currently occupied by a self-storage facility.
Planning staff said the C-2 zoned property’s owner is Marco Herrera, with Manuel Urquietta identified as the applicant’s representative. Staff recommended approval subject to the condition that engineering review comments are met.
Jose Botello, presenting the item for staff, summarized the request: “The lot size is 1.52 acres. The current zoning for the property is C2, which is general commercial. Current land use is commercial and the request is for approval of a preliminary and final plat for IZI number 1 subdivision. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary and final plat for IZI number 1 subdivision with the condition that the engineering review comments are met.”
Commissioners asked whether the application would add units to the existing self-storage operation and whether neighbors were notified. Botello confirmed the proposal would add storage units and that this platting process does not require resident notification. The applicant’s representative was available via Zoom to answer questions, the record shows.
Commissioner Enrique Cisneros moved to approve the plat with staff conditions; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously among commissioners present. The approval was conditional on the applicant satisfying outstanding engineering review comments before final plat recording.
Staff noted that the plat shows right-of-way details along Sparks Circle and includes topography and aerial imagery provided with the submission. The commission did not receive public comment opposing the plat at the meeting.
