Planning commission conditionally approves subdivision at 920 E. Buckeye St.
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a subdivision of 920 E. Buckeye St. into two family lots, conditioning final approval on each lot meeting the city's minimum yard-size requirements. The decision is effective after the written order is filed and is appealable within 30 days.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a subdivision request by property owner Mary A. Zuniga for 920 E. Buckeye St. and 920 1/2 E. Buckeye St. on June 15, 2026, provided each resulting lot meets the minimum yard-size requirements in the city ordinance. Commissioner Steve Fox moved for conditional approval and Commissioner Karen Lively seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all commissioners voting aye.
Applicant Mary A. Zuniga told the commission she plans to give one lot to her brother and the other to her son and grandchildren but did not yet know whether the split would be legal until staff verified lot dimensions against zoning requirements. Public Works Director David McSherry said he would review maps to determine the applicable zoning standards and raised concerns about the appropriate easement locations. Municipal Clerk Karen Reed confirmed that legal notices for the hearing had been posted, stating, "Yes, they have." The Commission noted the action will become effective after the written order is filed with municipal and county clerks; appeals may be filed in District Court within 30 calendar days under NMSA 1978 39-3-1.1.C.
The Commission's approval is conditional on compliance with yard-size requirements; the written order will specify any technical conditions and must be executed and filed before the decision takes effect.
