Socorro planning panel approves Revive Community Church plat and Marcus subdivision replat
Summary
The Socorro Planning and Zoning Commission approved a 3-acre preliminary and final plat for Revive Community Church and a replat splitting a 20,000 sq. ft. lot into two 10,000 sq. ft. lots for the Marcus subdivision; both approvals were conditioned on meeting engineering-review comments.
The Socorro Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve two subdivision actions during its meeting, advancing a church site plan and a residential replat that staff said meet local requirements but must clear outstanding engineering review comments.
Planner Jose presented the Revive Community Church preliminary and final plat for a 3.00-acre property at 10720 West Berth Road, telling commissioners that the site is zoned RE (rural estate) with a conditional use permit for a church and also falls within an A-1 agricultural district. "Staff recommends approval of the preliminary and final plat for Revive Community Church subdivision with the condition that the engineering review comments are met," Jose said.
Commissioners asked procedural and technical questions, including whether the property lies within city limits (Jose: yes) and whether on-site ponding/stormwater measures are required (Jose: yes; a stormwater drainage plan was submitted with the plats). Commissioner Andrew Arroyos moved to approve the Revive Community Church plats with the condition to meet engineering-review comments; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Yolanda Rodriguez and carried on a voice vote.
For the Marcus subdivision, staff said the parent parcel at 11611 Valle Lindo Drive (owner/representative listed as Sabino R. Marquez) is 20,000 square feet, zoned R-1 (single-family residential). The proposed replat would create two lots, each "right at 10,000" square feet, meeting the minimum lot-size requirement. Planner Jose recommended approval conditioned on resolving engineering-review comments. Commissioners confirmed both lots meet the 10,000-sq.-ft. minimum and that neighbors are not typically notified for replats that do not involve rezoning. A motion to approve the Marcus replat carried on a voice vote.
Both approvals were recorded as conditional on meeting outstanding engineering-review comments; the transcript does not record detailed engineering comments or any roll-call vote tallies tied to individual commissioners. The meeting adjourned at 5:52 p.m.
What happens next: Staff and the applicants will need to satisfy engineering-review comments before final plats are recorded and permits issued.
