Resident calls Questa planning and zoning ordinance 'antiquated' during council public comment
Summary
A resident urged the Village of Questa to update its Planning and Zoning Ordinance and criticized Taos County's involvement in local planning during public comment at the Aug. 13 council meeting.
During the Aug. 13 village council meeting, community member Evelyn Coggins used the public‑comment period and a subsequent public hearing to argue that the Village of Questa’s Planning and Zoning Ordinance is "antiquated" and to raise concerns about Taos County’s participation in Questa planning and zoning matters.
Coggins made the remarks first during the public‑comment portion of the meeting and repeated them during the public hearing on a separate variance request. The council did not respond directly during public comment; the minutes record no follow‑up motion, staff assignment, or ordinance citation tied to her remarks.
The transcript identifies the concern but does not specify which ordinance sections or which aspects of county participation Coggins referenced. No staff report or legal analysis was presented on the record at the meeting.
Council members proceeded to other agenda items after the hearing, including votes on the variance and several administrative matters.
