Commission approves rezoning at 734 Campeche Road, limits project to duplex
Summary
Planning staff recommended rezoning 734 Campeche Road from R‑1 to R‑2 to permit a triplex; the commission approved the rezoning with a condition limiting development to a duplex, citing a 10,000 sq ft guidance for duplexes.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on July 21 considered a request to amend the City of Socorro master plan and rezone Lot 3, Block 2 (734 Campeche Road) from R‑1 (single‑family) to R‑2 (medium‑density) to allow construction of a triplex. Judith Rodriguez, a city planner, told the commission the 10,010‑square‑foot lot is vacant and that the applicant, Enrique Ayala (represented by EBA Development LLC), requested permission for a triplex but staff recommended approval only if development were limited to a duplex.
Commissioners asked whether the lot met local precedents for duplexes and referenced a 10,000‑square‑foot guideline used in prior approvals. After discussion about lot size and neighborhood character, a commissioner moved to approve the rezoning with the staff recommendation to limit development to a duplex; the motion was seconded and the commission carried the motion. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing.
The action is a recommendation from Planning & Zoning; any rezoning must still be considered by city council. The staff presentation documented the lot’s legal description and site plan and noted the applicant’s conceptual plan showed three units of approximately 954 square feet each, and staff emphasized required setbacks and parking would need to be satisfied at plan review.
