Bernalillo council adopts zoning change for 370 S. Hill Road
Summary
The Bernalillo Governing Body voted to amend the official zoning map for 370 S. Hill Road, changing the parcel from C‑R (Commercial‑Residential) to M‑1 (Light Manufacturing). One councilor recused; remaining members approved the ordinance after a Planning & Zoning recommendation.
The Bernalillo Governing Body on June 8 adopted Ordinance No. 370 to rezone 370 S. Hill Road from C‑R (Commercial‑Residential) to M‑1 (Light Manufacturing).
Rebecca Bolen, Planning and Zoning Director, presented the ordinance and told the council the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on April 7, 2026 and recommended approval of ZMA26‑004. The parcel is legally described as Subdivision Mountain View Estates 2, Lot 12A in Township 13 North, Range 4 East, Section 32 (Sandoval County Assessor records) and contains 0.960 acres.
Mayor S. Torres opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Councilor Valverde recused himself from the vote. Councilor Torres‑Quintana moved to approve Ordinance 370; Councilor Montoya seconded. A roll call vote recorded aye votes by Councilors Prairie, Torres‑Quintana and Montoya, and the ordinance was adopted.
Why it matters: the change from C‑R to M‑1 alters the allowed uses for the property, permitting light manufacturing activities where previously commercial‑residential uses were authorized. The council’s approval follows the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation and no public opposition in the recorded hearing.
What’s next: the ordinance amends the Town of Bernalillo Official Zoning Map as described in Ordinance No. 370 and will be reflected in town records.
