Bernalillo council adopts zoning change to classify 1.06-acre parcel as R-2
Summary
The Town of Bernalillo governing body on Oct. 23 adopted Ordinance No. 343 to establish R-2 (multi-family residential) zoning for a previously unzoned 1.06-acre parcel between the Rio Grande and the Nazcon subdivision. The vote was unanimous.
The Town of Bernalillo governing body adopted Ordinance No. 343 on Oct. 23, 2023, formally amending the official zoning map to designate about 1.06 acres between the Rio Grande and Nazcon Subdivision Lots 8-A and 9-A as R-2 (multi-family residential). Mayor Torres called the public hearing and Planning presenter Stephanie Shumsky summarized the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation for approval.
Shumsky said the request had been heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 1, 2023, and that the zone-map amendment “furthers some applicable comprehensive plan goals and policies” and would not constitute a spot zone because the parcel abuts R-2 zoning to the west. Property owner Zach Snyder attended and declined to add to Shumsky’s presentation, saying, “Stephanie did a great job explaining it all and I have nothing to add.”
After the presentation and with no public comment, Councilor Torres-Quintana moved to adopt Ordinance No. 343; Councilor Valverde seconded. A roll-call vote recorded four yeas and the ordinance was adopted. The ordinance’s materials reference an order filed in Sandoval County (Book 426, Page 12346) and amend the Town’s Official Zoning Map under the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 310).
The council’s adoption changes the zoning designation for the described parcel to R-2; the ordinance text and exhibits were attached to the meeting record. There was no recorded amendment or condition attached to the adoption. The matter concluded with the formal vote and no further debate.
