City planning commission review/vote April 7, 2022 approved these cases, and filed a plat map with its (but not governing body's/mayors) signature at county records 2010612-13, and city issued resolution 21-039.
Case 2021-4647. This case is closed by the city planning department, after the April 7, 2022 vote approving developer's submittals. In the resolution, the city governing body expressed its intent to accept dedication of the subdivision roads and parking lots, and to allow developer to obtain ownership of the present day and history Galisteo Roads after developer completes building a substitute/new location of present-day Galisteo Road. The governing body must do this by a vote, which they can accomplish via its consent agenda procedure (without any further public input or discussion). The planning commission can not approve either dedication of land or disposal of present day Galisteo Roads. These must be done by governing body vote. However, as of June 27, 2024, no construction has started on the replacement Galisteo Road. The governing body presently has no present or future obligation to vote in favor of either dedication of roads or disposal of Galisteo Roads as described in the resolution. The resolution is not binding, it just satisfies a statutory requirement that governing body express its intent to dispose of the roads. Would you build a road approximately one city block in length on your private property on the hypothetical that when finished, the governing body may vote to swap land for it? Isn't that a risky endeavor? Can a construction loan line of credit be issued for such a construction project?
Case 2021-3662, Zia Station LLC partial vacation and dedication plat together with its lot line adjustment plat were approved by the city planning commission 4/7/22 (does not include governing body/mayor's signature). This case is closed in the city planning department.
