Farmington council adopts zone change for a 0.23‑acre property and finalizes electrical‑code commission update
Summary
The council approved Planning & Zoning petition ZC25-88 to rezone 2016 E. 10th Street to general commercial with fencing conditions, and took final action on Ordinance 2026-1383 to permit employees of electrical contractors to serve on the Electrical Code Advisory Commission.
The Farmington City Council approved a Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation to rezone a 0.23‑acre parcel at 2016 East 10th Street (petition ZC25-88 from Roberto Quevedo, represented by Rick Quevedo) from multifamily low‑density to general commercial. The approval includes a condition requiring a 6‑foot‑high opaque vinyl, wood or masonry fence along the east boundary beginning 20 feet from the back of curb. The Planning & Zoning Commission had approved the petition 5-0 on Jan. 29, 2026; the council adopted the recommendation by a 4-0 vote.
Separately, the council took final action on Ordinance 2026-1383, a routine update to the Electrical Code Advisory Commission ordinance. The ordinance amendment opens commission membership to employees of electrical contractors in order to bolster recruitment for the commission; council took the final adoption vote and the motion carried 4-0.
Why it matters: The zoning change allows a small parcel near East 10th Street to be used for general commercial purposes subject to the city’s buffer/fencing conditions and is now consistent with the Planning & Zoning recommendation. The ordinance change is administrative but affects the composition of a city technical advisory body that reviews electrical code issues.
Votes and motions: Council moved and seconded each item; recorded votes were announced in the meeting as carrying 4‑0 for both the zoning petition and the ordinance adoption.
