Planning Commission actions: two dealership development plans approved; Hart Road findings approved; others postponed
Summary
On Jan. 16 the Planning Commission approved findings and development plans for three items (Hart Road findings; Fiesta Nissan; Fiesta Hyundai) and postponed two items (RKSS Surrio multifamily and Las Prados subdivision) to Feb. 6 due to pending issues and interpreter availability.
The Santa Fe Planning Commission recorded several formal actions on Jan. 16, 2025. The commission approved findings and development plans for an earlier Hart Road development plan and approved two dealership development plans; the commission postponed a major multifamily application and a subdivision plat.
Approvals - Findings and conclusions for case 2024‑893184 (Hart Road Development Plan): The commission voted to approve the findings and conclusions for the Hart Road development plan (vote recorded by roll call). Staff presented the findings and recommended approval. (No full text of the development plan was adopted at the meeting; action recorded as approval of findings and conclusions.)
- Case 2024‑8550, Fiesta Nissan dealership development plan (4994 Governor Miles Road, 6.1-acre site): The commission voted to approve the development plan subject to staff conditions and technical corrections. Staff reported the Nissan site would provide roughly 276 parking spaces and require archaeological clearance and other technical corrections before recordation. Roll-call approvals were recorded (Commissioners Smith, Lawrence, Capen, McGee, Miranda, Rieland recorded as “Yes” in the public roll call).
- Case 2024‑9304, Fiesta Hyundai dealership development plan (6590 Surrio/Cerritos Road, 5.8-acre site): The commission also approved the Hyundai development plan, subject to conditions and technical corrections. Staff noted the project would provide roughly 198 parking spaces and must address landscape, drainage, water and wastewater technical conditions before recording. Roll-call approvals were recorded (Commissioners Smith, Lawrence, Capen, McGee, Miranda, Rieland recorded as “Yes” in the public roll call).
Postponed or tabled items - Case 2024‑7909, RKSS Surrio multifamily development plan (proposed 194 units): The commission voted to postpone the application to Feb. 6, 2025, to allow staff and the applicant to refine rezoning/lot‑consolidation conditions and complete technical corrections (see separate article about the discussion). The developer agreed to work with staff on rezoning a small R3 parcel in the application area.
- Case 2024‑7998, Las Prados preliminary subdivision plat: Staff advised that a timely request for a Spanish interpreter and an ASL interpreter could not be met for the hearing; several members of the public on Zoom were relying on Spanish interpretation. The commission voted to postpone the item to the Feb. 6 meeting to ensure language and accessibility services are available.
Recordkeeping notes: For the two dealership approvals staff flagged outstanding technical corrections (archaeological clearance, traffic technical corrections, full landscape and drainage approvals, water‑budget and wastewater approvals) that must be completed prior to recording the development plans.
Ending: Commissioners voted on the described motions by roll call as noted; items postponed were rescheduled for Feb. 6.
