STAFF ANALYSIS
Petition Description and History
The petitioner requests a special use permit to allow a drive-through for a restaurant use on
a 3.74-acre property at 3701 Messina Drive. On April 9, 2013, the petitioner received
approval of zone change (ZC) Petition ZC 13-01, subject to conditions a. through c. as
follows:
a. No development shall occur and no permits shall be issued for the area of this zone
change until a plat has been recorded for the area of this zone change and that all
required subdivision improvements are installed;
b. That a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) may be required, in accordance with the UDC,
depending on proposed uses and future development of this parcel; and
c. That access shall be maintained to the retention pond for Wilshire Estates
Subdivision Number 11, Replat A, as identified in Petition ZC 08-15.
Prior to petition ZC 13-01, ZC 08-15 changed the zoning from the SF-10 district to the OP
Office and Professional zone district and required nearly identical conditions as those stated
above.
1
Regarding condition (a.) for platting the property, the petitioner has submitted a summary
plat to the Community Development Department. This summary plat is under review, and
no building permit can be issued prior to the plat being recorded.
Regarding the condition for a TIA, a TIA has not been submitted to the City for this site. The
petitioner has installed a deceleration lane along Piñon Hills Boulevard facilitating right turns
of eastbound traffic onto Messina Drive. This lane is approximately 170 feet as measured
from 2013 aerial photography. At this time Messina does not connect between the
proposed site and the residential neighborhoods to the south. It is noted however, that the
unimproved area is being used by vehicles cutting through from the south residential area to
Piñon Hills Boulevard.
Regarding the condition pertaining to the retention pond; this condition refer to an area north
of Wilshire Estates Subdivision Number 11 adjacent to the Porter Arroyo. This area is
outside of the area considered for this Special Use Permit, but access will still need to be
maintained through the platting and development process.
Pursuant to Section 2.3 the Use Table of the UDC, a drive-through restaurant is permitted in
the LNC district with a special use permit. A restaurant drive-through is required to have a
minimum of 6 stacking spaces. The stacked spaces are to be measured from the order
window. The site plan provided by the petitioner indicates 7 stacking spaces and the drive-
through window to be located at the southwest corner of the proposed building. Stacking
spaces must be a minimum 9 feet by 20 feet each. Provided that the drive-through window
shown in the site plan is congruent with an order window, the planned stacking spaces meet
the UDC’s requirements.
The building’s dimensions, scaled from the site plan, indicate that the building is
approximately 74 feet by 43 feet for a total area of 2,500 square feet of building space.
Section 5.2.3 Table A of the UDC requires restaurants with a drive-through to have one
parking space for every three seats. The site plan shows 28 parking spaces. A floor plan
has not been provided, therefore calculations for the required number of parking spaces
cannot be determined at this time, but parking requirements will be reviewed during the
building permit process.
The site plan does not show an existing tree that currently remains in the paved area of the
site. If the tree remains, it would negatively impact traffic circulation. It is located directly in
front of the drive-through lane and the site entrance. It is a conflict point and must be
resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed restaurant.
The site plan and submitted subdivision plat indicate that areas to the south are part of the
future residential Windsor Heights Subdivision No. 12 and are zoned for residential use.
Residential protections for future development of this property will need to accommodate
residential protections as specified in Section 5.10 of the UDC. The restaurant’s waste
receptacles are not indicated in the provided site plan. These issues will be further assessed
with the application for a building permit.
Special Use Permit Criteria – Section 8.9.4 of the UDC
Section 8.9.4 of the UDC sets forth the criteria for review of a special use permit. The
section states that an SUP may be approved where it is reasonably determined that there
will be no significant negative impact upon residents of surrounding property or upon the
public. Criteria are listed as follows:
2
A. Effect on environment: The location, size, design and operation characteristics of
the proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare and safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently injurious
to the neighboring property.
The petitioner has provided a site plan but a traffic impact analysis has not been
completed to indicate impacts of the proposed drive-through on the development
and surrounding Piñon Hills Corridor. The proposed drive-through does meet
vehicle stacking requirements of the UDC. Messina Drive between the residential
subdivisions to the south and the proposed development is not improved, but is
used by vehicles. The petitioner will need to address this issue by connecting
the Messina Drive or installing semi-permanent barriers from both the north and
the south. If Messina Drive is connected, the right-of-way will need to be
dedicated and the roadway constructed to City Standards. If barriers are
installed, they should remain until such time that Messina is extended. The
installed deceleration lane is also inadequate to handle demands and should be
lengthened to comply with NMDOT access management requirements.
B. Compatible with surrounding area: The proposed site plan, circulation plan and
schematic architectural designs shall be harmonious with the character of the
surrounding area with relationship to scale, height, landscaping and screening and
density.
The site is a proposed local neighborhood commercial area. In the Piñon Hills
Boulevard Corridor Plan (PHBCP) this area is projected to be Neighborhood
Commercial. The PHBCP indicates a full intersection may be constructed at
Messina Drive and Piñon Hills Boulevard. The circulation for the restaurant is
constrained by the tree that is located in the middle of the driveway entrance.
The petitioner has installed a deceleration lane on Piñon Hills Boulevard
accommodating right turns onto Messina from eastbound traffic. Messina Drive
will need to have barriers installed to prevent the flow of traffic through
unimproved area.
C. External impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts
on existing uses in the area and in the city through the creation of noise, glare, fumes,
dust, smoke, vibration, fire hazard or other injurious or noxious impact. The applicant
shall provide adequate mitigation responses to the impacts.
There are no negative impacts concerning noise, glare fumes, dust smoke or
vibration. The proposed drive through and entire development is required by
Section 5.10 of the UDC to provide residential protections on all sides adjoining
present and future residential properties. The protections are in addition to the
district standards stated in 3.12 of the UDC. These standards pertain but are not
limited to building setbacks, building height, screening, dumpsters and outdoor
lighting.
D. Infrastructure impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative
impacts on existing uses in the area and in the city through impacts on public
infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities and water and sewer systems, and on
public services such as police and fire protection and solid waste collection, and the
ability of existing infrastructure and services to provide services adequately.
The unimproved section of Messina Drive between the residential subdivisions to
the south and this development represent a detriment to the neighborhood.
3
Residents of these neighborhoods wishing to patronize the proposed restaurant
will need to travel west to College Boulevard, North to Piñon Hills Boulevard, and
then east to Messina Drive and on their return trip will need to turn left onto Piñon
Hills Boulevard. Connection of the north and south sections of Messina drive
would allow a direct route.
E. Consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use will be
consistent with purposes of this UDC, the Comprehensive Plan, and any other statutes,
ordinances or policies that may be applicable, and will support rather than interfere with
the uses otherwise permitted in the zone in which it is located.
The subject parcel was previously granted ZC 13-01 changing the zoning from
OP to LNC. The PHCP shows the area as Neighborhood Commercial and is an
update to the Comprehensive Plan.
F. Parcel size: The proposed use may be required to have additional land area, in
excess of the minimum lot area otherwise required by the underlying zoning district, as
necessary to ensure adequate mitigation of impacts on surrounding land uses and the
zoning district.
The property meets these conditions.
G. Site Plan: The proposed use shall be required to comply with the site plan review
procedures and standards of Section 8.5, site plan review, as specified.
A conceptual site plan was provided.
ISSUES
Traffic Engineering: Charles Trask – 599-8201
A TIA will be required with any future development of the site.
If Messina Drive is not connected, barriers should be installed at the end of the
current extent of Messina both from the south (north of Tijeras Drive) and at the
South boundary of the subdivision to mitigate off-road use of the area. The developer
will be responsible for maintenance of these barriers.
The deceleration lane along Piñon Hills will be extended in length to comply with the
NMDOT Access Management Requirements and any utility relocations that are
required are at the cost of the developer.
Left turns onto Piñon Hills could be dangerous.
Police Department: Sgt. Pat Flores – 599-8201
The Farmington Police Department is concerned with the ingress and egress issues
relating to traffic turning off Pinon Hills Blvd (50 mph) onto Messina to access the
restaurant. Additionally there are concerns about traffic issues relating to vehicles
exiting the restaurant and entering traffic on Pinon Hills.
Water/Waste Water: Ruben Salcido – 599-1284
A grease trap may be required at the time of building permit application.
STAFF CONCLUSION
Staff concludes that approval of SUP 14-14 is appropriate with conditions. For any future
development, the petitioner will need to provide a TIA showing the effects of development of
this property on the surrounding Piñon Hills Boulevard Corridor and Messina Drive. The
previous commitments requiring a recorded subdivision plat for a building permit and the
access for the Retention Pond of Wilshire Estates # 11 shall be maintained. The site plan
indicates suitable vehicle stacking provided the drive-through window functions as both the
order and pickup windows.

of certificate of occupancy should they be inadequate at preventing traffic from
crossing the unimproved portion of Messina drive, the Developer shall submit the TIA
and implement its recommended improvements.
b. The deceleration lane be extended at the cost of the developer, as determined by the
Public Works Department and NMDOT Access Management Requirements and the
developer will bear any costs associated with relocating street lights or other utilities
to accommodate this extension.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT
PETITION SUP 14-13 – SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR KEEPING CHICKENS AT
3005 CRESCENT 26
AVENUE
Planning & Zoning Commission Discussion of Petition SUP 14-13 on October 30, 2014
Senior Planner Cynthia Lopez presented the staff report. Debbie and Howard Limback at 3005
Crescent Avenue are requesting a special use permit to keep twelve (12) chickens on
approximately 1/3 acre which is in a single-family residential district. They will not have any
roosters. Several City codes regulate the keeping of animals. They must provide fencing and
screening of the animals and they must provide for the maintenance and upkeep of the property
as it concerns the animals. The petitioner provided a site plan and photographs showing the
fencing, residence, other structures and the coop. Staff is recommending approval.
The petitioner, Debbie Limback addressed the commission and stated that she had read the
staff report. She stated that the Limbacks already have 12 chickens. Chair Cardon asked how
long Ms. Limback had the chickens. Ms. Limback answered that they had two of the chickens
since last November and have had the others since March. She further stated that the chickens
are part of the family and that the Limback’s did not know that they needed a special use permit
to keep chickens.
She indicated that the chickens roam free on the property in the back yard. The petitioner’s
back yard is divided into two back yards with a fence separating the areas. Chair Cardon asked
Ms. Limback to show on the site plan the location of the chicken area.
Commissioner Freeman asked about the chickens that the Limbacks got in November. Ms.
Limback stated that they bought 3 chicks (were supposed to be hens) but later found out that
one was a rooster. They got rid of the rooster. They bought six more chicks in March.
Commissioner Freeman asks why they had twelve (12) chickens. Ms. Limback stated that the
granddaughters are in 4H and that the grandchildren were supposed to take some of the
chickens.
Commissioner Freeman asked how code compliance got involved. Ms. Limback stated that she
is not sure, she believes the neighbors weren’t sure if they could have chickens. She did try to
get letters of support from the neighbors. She has three written support letters and she
provided a petition from neighbors in support. She had another support letter from the
neighbors behind, Melanie Lewis.
Commissioner Cardon asked if chickens make a lot of noise. They make a clucking noise only
after they lay their eggs. They usually make a cluck in their excitement and then get quiet. Ms.
Limback showed a picture of what they do most of the day, which is lounge on the back porch.
They are not as loud as the dogs.
Commission Freeman asked about the comments from the police department regarding the
safety of the chickens. Ms. Limback stated that her dogs interact well with the chickens and
they keep the cats out of the yard. The fences are tall enough that the chickens cannot jump
out.
Commissioner Cardon asked the petitioner to explain the care and cleanliness of the chickens.
Ms. Limback explained that once each month they clean out the entire coop and replace the
insect killer and bedding. They pick up the chicken droppings 4 to 5 times a day. They keep
the chicken droppings to utilize as fertilizer.
Richard Buffington of 3001 Crescent spoke in opposition to the petition. There is one house
between his property and the Limbacks. He is opposed because he feels that the keeping of
farm animals is not appropriate in a residential district. Commissioner Cardon asked if he could
hear the chickens or do they have any other effect on your property. Mr. Buffington responded
that he does not hear the chickens nor does he smell them. As a realtor he is more concerned
27
about his property values and expects that farm animals do not meet the zoning and rules of the
City.
Joe Durbin of 3002 Northwood Circle spoke in opposition to the petition. He pointed out that his
home is southwest of the Limbacks. Mr. Durbin’s concern was that chickens attract skunks.
Commissioner Cardon asked Mr. Durbin if he can hear the chickens. This area has had and
continues to have a skunk problem. Mr. Durbin lives next door to Larry & Melanie Lewis and he
understands that they wrote a letter in support. The Lewis’s are never home and they don’t
hear their own dogs when they are at home.
Commissioner Freeman asked what the correlation is between skunks and chickens. What’s
the draw? Mr. Durbin used to live on a farm and he stated that skunks can smell chickens from
a mile away. Commissioner Freeman asked Mr. Durbin how long he has lived at this address
and has the skunk problem increased since the chickens came. Mr. Durbin responded that he
has lived here since 1968. We have had a skunk problem here for a long time and he did not
know if the problem got worse since the chickens came. Commissioner Cardon asked if Mr.
Durbin has asked the City for help with the skunk problem. He responded that he has called but
the City has so many rules about trapping the skunks that it is no help.
No other parties wished to speak for or against the petition and the petitioner did not elect to
cross-examine. Commissioner Cardon closed the public hearing and, with no more questions
or comments from commissioners, she asked for a motion.
Planning & Zoning Commission Action of Petition SUP 14-13 on October 30, 2014
A motion was made by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Waldroup to
approve Petition SUP 14-13, a request by Debbie and Howard Limback for a special use

unanimously by a 6-0 vote.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT
PETITION PFP 14-01 - PRELIMINARY PLAN FINAL PLAT
FOR SAN JUAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER REPLAT B
Planning & Zoning Commission Discussion of Petition PFP 14-01 on October 30, 2014
Senior Planner Cynthia Lopez presented the staff report. The preliminary final plat for petition
PFP 14-01 is a request from San Juan Regional Medical Center represented by Cheney-
Walters-Echols for a three lot subdivision on 10.08 acres. This parcel has OP Office
Professional zoning. Ms. Lopez referred to the site plan indicating the existing parcel and
showing the proposed new property lines. This lot is part of a larger medical complex and has
two existing buildings on the lot. The subdivision will create a lot for each building with a vacant
remainder lot.
28
This plat went through a preliminary plat and a final plat process in the past but was never
recorded. It therefore expired. This is the reason we are now processing the plat as a
preliminary final plat. Staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Langenfeld inquired if there are any changes to the original plat and wanted
clarification that the original plat had just expired. Ms. Lopez responded that there were no
changes to the originally approved final plat. The only change was that the plat had expired.
Commissioner Freeman asked if the zoning will stay the same and all we are doing is
subdividing to create additional lots. Ms. Lopez responded that the zoning will stay the same
and that this is the process for subdividing a commercial property.
Neither the petitioner nor the petitioner’s representative were present at the meeting. The board
decided to move forward without their representation.
Blake Barnett of 2208 Ranch Drive and President of the Cottonwood Homeowners Association
spoke about his concerns regarding traffic flow on Farmington Avenue. Mr. Blake’s home is on
the northwest corner of Ranch Drive and Farmington Avenue. They share Farmington Avenue
with the medical complex. There is already heavy traffic flow on the street and the medical
center has an access onto Farmington Avenue from their parking lot. However, they cannot
turn left onto Farmington Avenue from this access and must turn right, than make a U-turn to
exit onto 30th Street. He is not against the petition but he came to the P & Z meeting to get his
concerns on the record. He suggested that the median that blocks the left turn from this access
point be cut to allow the left turn. He also pointed out that oil and gas trucks use this portion of
Farmington Avenue to access the dirt roadway to well sites to the north. Pedestrians from the
neighborhood use the area for walking and to walk their dogs in the area. He requested that the
medical complex use the 30th Street access for ingress and egress to the sites created by this
plat.
Commissioner Freeman asked is there a median that blocks the left turn from the parking lot
onto Farmington Avenue. Mr. Blake feels that the median should be split to allow the left turn.
Commissioner Freeman stated that none of the houses actually face Farmington Avenue. They
have access to other streets. So Farmington Avenue is really an arterial and good road for
access for everybody into the future. No people backing out of driveways onto the street.
Mr. Blake was concerned that the medical complex could put parking along Farmington Avenue
which would allow backing into the street. Senior Planner Lopez addressed this concern. The
zoning code does not allow commercial properties to back into a collector or arterial street.
Chair Cardon suggested that the homeowners association address their concerns in a
statement to the medical center and the owner’s representative. As for the median cut that
should go to the City. Community Development Director Mary Holton stated that Farmington
Avenue is an arterial and recommended that the median concern needs to be addressed to the
Public Works Department.
With no other citizens from the audience who wanted to address this petition, Chair Cardon
closed the public meeting. There were no questions and no discussion from the commission
and Chair Cardon called for a motion.
