The Socorro City Planning and Zoning Commission on March 17 approved the preliminary plat for Isabella (Isabela) Valley Subdivision, a 12.03‑acre site at 1164 Socorro Road proposed for 47 single‑family residential lots in an R‑2 (medium‑density) district.
Planner Judith Rodriguez presented the application on behalf of the city and summarized the legal description and the staff recommendation to approve the preliminary plat. The property owner was listed in the record as Ralph Duran with representative Enrique Escobar; the proposed layout includes direct frontage on Socorro Road and access connections toward Fly Vargas Drive via Ardilla Drive.
Commissioners asked about access and lot sizes. Rodriguez said there will be direct access from Socorro Road and referenced Ardilla Drive connecting to Fly Vargas Drive; she stated the development would create 47 lots and said lot sizes are "around, like, 6,000" square feet on average. The transcript records that the upper bound of the lot size range was not stated clearly during the presentation.
A motion to approve the preliminary plat was made, seconded and carried; the clerk recorded the motion and announced the vote carried. The approval allows the applicant to advance engineering and permitting steps required before final platting and construction.
