Hearing officer to forward report on New Mexico Hardsider’s request to waive 300-foot rule near Santa Fe Jewish Center
Summary
A City of Santa Fe hearing officer reviewed a request from New Mexico Hardsider LLC to waive the 300-foot location restriction under 60-6B-10 NMSA 1978 so the business can sell alcohol near the Santa Fe Jewish Center; no public comments were received and the officer will forward a written report to the governing body.
Renee Bella Gutierrez, the hearing officer for the City of Santa Fe, presided over a March 9 public hearing on an application by New Mexico Hardsider LLC d/b/a New Mexico Hardsider Tap Room seeking a waiver of the 300-foot location restriction under 60-6B-10 NMSA 1978. The property was described in the hearing transcript as “505 Critos Road A105,” and the presenter said it is within 300 feet of the Santa Fe Jewish Center at 230 West Manhattan Avenue.
The request was presented by Miss Audon, who said the application asks the hearing officer to consider a waiver of the statutory 300-foot proximity limit so the applicant can sell alcohol at the stated premises. "A request from New Mexico Hardsider LLC dba New Mexico Hardsider Tap Room for the following," the presenter said, identifying the statutory citation and the nearby religious institution.
Gutierrez asked who represented the applicant; Craig Moya identified himself as the applicant's representative and was sworn in. When asked whether he had anything to add beyond the application materials, Moya said he did not. "Yes," Moya answered when the hearing officer administered the oath, and later told the panel he had no further testimony beyond the application.
The hearing officer reported that no members of the public were present in the waiting area and that no written comments had been received. She said she would prepare a written hearing officer's report and forward it to the governing body for consideration at its next available meeting. The officer also stated a condition on the application: the applicant must continue to comply with all City of Santa Fe ordinances.
The hearing closed at 4:04 p.m. and was adjourned. The governing body will consider the hearing officer's written report at a future meeting; the transcript records no formal vote or final action during this session.
Notes on transcription inconsistencies: the business name and street address appear with inconsistent spellings in the transcript (variants include “Hardsider” and “Heartsider,” and an address transcribed as “505 Critos Road A105”). The article uses the business name as presented in the hearing record: New Mexico Hardsider LLC d/b/a New Mexico Hardsider Tap Room, and records the street address exactly as it appears in the transcript.
