Council amends plan for Fire Station 4 and ratifies firefighters' contract; planning staff to bring code text amendment on parking and single‑family zoning
Summary
County Council approved a future‑land‑use map amendment for a Fire Station 4 site and ratified a firefighters' collective bargaining agreement, Councilor Herman told the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25.
Councilor Herman reported to the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25 that the County Council approved a future‑land‑use map amendment to reclassify about 18,700 square feet from open space (passive) to institutional for the Fire Station 4 site on Diamond Drive, and that the council ratified a collective bargaining agreement between Los Alamos County and the Los Alamos Firefighters Association.
Herman summarized recent council work, including a June 13 work session that featured presentations on Art in Public Places, historic preservation, and the quarterly economic development update.
During commissioner comments, Commissioner Bridal asked about the status of longer‑running planning initiatives — specifically potential changes to parking mandates and whether single‑family zoning should remain the default. County planning staff said they are preparing a code text amendment application and expect to bring it to the commission within about two months; staff also suggested reconvening the commission to prioritize specific issues within the proposed amendment. No formal action was taken at the meeting on those code amendments.
