STAFF ANALYSIS
Background
The applicant, ABC Concrete & Manufacturing Inc., is requesting a Special Use Permit
to allow for mining and extraction of existing soil as part of the site preparation for a
10.38-acre parcel located at 3030 Troy King Rd part of the Dutrmaine Subdivision
Replat A, Tract 2. Current zoning is GC, General Commercial. The property is vacant.
2
The subject property is adjacent to 2555 Troy King Road where the applicant operates a
mining and extraction process under SUP 17-36.
San Juan County Tax Assessor’s records show that the size of the subject property
(parcel R6000964) is 10.38 acres and is owned by William and Kim Dutremaine and
Douglas and Waunita Murray.
This SUP request is to expand the mining and extraction to the subject property. Hours
of operation are daylight hours only. Access is limited to trained personnel. A large
portion of the actually mining is done by portable/mobile equipment.
No blasting activities are included with the Special Use Permit request.
The surrounding area is commercial, industrial and rural agricultural.
Per the application, the proposed uses on the subject property include:
Mining, extraction, processing and storage of aggregates (construction
materials: sand & gravel)
Cut and fill of existing site
Crushing, screening washing and backfill of fines and oversize materials
Storage of equipment and concrete product debris and construction
materials.

Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
Subject
The 2002 Future Land Use Plan designates this Property area as light
industrial. The proposed use of mining and excavating is a
heavy industrial use.
The purpose of a Special Use Permit is to allow for discretionary approval of uses with
unique operating characteristics.
Figure 3. Future Land Use Plan

Unified Development Code (UDC)
UDC 8.9A. Special Use Permits:
A. Except as provided herein or specified in the conditions of a special use
permit, ownership of a special use permit is not transferrable. However,
special use permits associated with nonresidential uses are
transferrable.
If the SUP were approved, the allowance for the mining and extraction uses would
transfer to future landowners if the property is sold.
Per the applicant, operations at this site might last a decade.
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:
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
5
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently
injurious to the neighboring property.
The applicant has been operating a mining and excavation operation on the
adjacent property to the west since 2017. No detrimental environmental
impacts have been noted from that operation.
Berms and fencing will be used for access control. The Actual Area of
Operations (AO) will be bermed and fenced per NM AQB (Air Quality Bureau)
requirements.
The proposed AO is approximately 1,000 feet to the nearest residential unit in
the Mesa Mobile Home Park located to the southwest across Troy King Road.
Since this is an expansion of an existing use, the traffic to and from the site is
not anticipated to increase due to granting of this Special Use Permit.
Through the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan permit process, required
by the State, no significant impacts to wildlife or cultural resources were
identified.
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.
Much of the surrounding area is undeveloped. The applicant will maintain a
33-foot buffer zone around the Areas of Operation from both adjacent
properties and Troy King Road.
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.
No blasting will occur on the site. No nighttime activity is proposed so no
outdoor lights will be needed. All equipment will meet government
regulations.
Noise generated by the operation will be 50 dBa or less. This level conforms
to the requirements of Section 12.5 of the Municipal Code.
There have been no code compliance issues generated by the existing
operation on the adjacent parcel at 2555 Troy King Rd.
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.
6
The proposed use should have no impact on existing infrastructure. No
buildings are proposed and there will be no connections to City water or
wastewater. Water for dust control and site maintenance will be trucked into
the site. Non-potable water will be used when possible. Portable toilets will be
used.
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 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area is appropriate for light industrial.
The proposed use is classified as heavy industrial. However, it is a temporary
use that is consistent with other uses in the area. Through the use of berms
and fences, the proposed use should not interfere with other uses permitted
in the General Commercial and Industrial Zones. The fact that large, mostly
vacant, parcels surround the subject property helps to mitigate the impact of
the proposed use.
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 is 10.38 acres. Section 2.4.30 of the UDC requires a minimum of
five acres for mining and extractive uses.
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 detailed site plan has been submitted and reviewed as part of the Special
Use Permit application review process. No major issues have been identified.
STAFF CONCLUSION
Staff concludes approval of SUP 19-78 is appropriate for mining and extraction at this
site. A detailed application specifically addresses the Special Use Permit approval
criteria. The applicant has been operating on the adjacent property to the east since
2017 without causing any issues. Staff does not anticipate any adverse effects on the
surrounding area due to the proposed use.

CONTINUATION (ATTACHMENT 1) TO PETITION APPLICATION
GENERAL: This petition is to extend existing special use permitting approved by
the City in 2017 for Parcel 2079173357299 to include an additional 10.38 acres in
parcel 2079173291311 immediately to the east.
1. ADDRESS OF SITE: Per Google Earth, this property has no address, but will be
a part of the property identified as 2201 Troy King Road (this address is not
listed in County records but has been used since 2016).
2. PROPOSED USE (COMPLETE LIST): As with the initial parcel, this site is
proposed to be prepared for industrial use, concurrently initially to be used for
mining, extraction, processing and storage of aggregates (construction
materials: sand and gravel) while site is being graded (including cut and fill) to
prepare for permanent industrial use as a concrete manufacturing facility.
Processing includes crushing and screening, washing, backfill of fines and
oversize materials. As in the past, the expanded site will continue to be used for
storage (equipment, concrete product debris and broken parts, construction
materials). Materials generated or brought on site will be used as backfill to
grade site for permanent use. See Description, Attachment 2.
3. LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY: As taken from County GIS. Detailed
metes and bounds description found Book 1630 Page 776. Also, see map
below.
4. OWNERSHIP: WILLIAM AND KIM DUTREMAINE LLC and MURRAY
DOUGLAS E AND WAUNITA L TRUST (Joint Tenants) (From County
Database) : for all owners: c/o ABC Concrete Manufacturing, Inc. 1004 South
Lake, Farmington, NM 87401 Phone: 505-325-8289. See Verification of
Ownership from Title Company, Attachment 3.
5. NOTE: In 2017, the owners were negotiating with the owner of the adjacent
property to the east and north and have now purchased the recently subdivided
portion immediately east, to allow for coordinated grading and use. These are
identified as later phases of the project and site development. This application is
10
the amendment (to the Special Use Permit approved in 2017) which the
applicant understood at the time might be necessary, and as stated to planning
staff.

Attachment 2. Description of proposed project
SITE PREPARATION - MINING OF SAND AND GRAVEL WHILE PREPARING THE
SITE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE
Project involves excavating surficial material and sand/gravel, to create large pads (at
elevations lower than most existing terrain) for further industrial site development.
Excavated material will be partially used for fill on the site; some will be processed
(crushed, screened, washed) to provide aggregates for ready-mixed concrete and
precast concrete. Assuming the material meets spec and is found in sufficient
quantities and quality on-site, this will continue over a long period.
Excavated material will be used on-site to construct berms and provide level pads for
future development and to fill low spots, and be stockpiled for future use.
For material to be used off-site, small, portable/mobile equipment (tracked, self-
propelled crusher, screen, and wash units) will process material as it is excavated, and
will be stockpiled on-site. Front-end loaders and/or excavators will be used to load
materials on haul-trucks (tandems and semi-trucks) to haul materials to ABC Concrete
Manufacturing (1004 South Lake) and other locations where needed.
At completion of project, site will have stable and relatively level grades suitable for
industrial use.

Attachment 4. Evaluation Criteria for Special Use Permit
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, nor be substantially or
permanently injurious to neighboring property;
Location: existing site (9.5 acres) is zoned IND industrial; expansion (additional 10
acres) is zoned GC general commercial. Area to south is zoned IND industrial,
area to east is zoned RA rural agricultural), area to north is zoned GC general
commercial and to west is PIP. In accordance with State requirements (NMED
AQB Permit GCP2-7346), all crushing and screening, with primary stockpiles, is
located at least ¼-mile from the nearest mobile home (to SW (zoned SF-MF)).
Size: Site expanding from 9.5 acres by adding 10 acres to the east, for a total of
19.5 acres. There is still some potential expansion to the north (additional 9.75-
19.5 acres if land becomes available). Crushing, screening, washing and
primary stockpiles continue to be located in 2.5 acres (in the original northeast
corner, and up to 2.5 more acres immediately east (in the new expansion).
Design:
Berms and fencing along Troy King Road for access control. Actual Area of
Operations (AO) for crushing and screening operations (including primary
stockpiles) will be bermed and have fencing to delineate AO (per NMED AQB
requirements).
Access (haul) road from stockpile areas to primary access point (which will
continue to be at SE corner of property, 2201 Troy King Road) will have base-
course, application of water and application of dust control chemicals as per
NMED AQB requirements.
Areas of excavation and fill will be marked in accordance with MSHA/OSHA
requirements. Haul roads will not be permanent industrial roads, but only used
during grading, cut and fill activities. Owner will submit permanent road design
at the appropriate time when other manufacturing operations are located on this
site.
Site (including expansion area) has been evaluated and coverage under US
EPA General Permit for Discharge of Storm Water associated with industrial
activities has been obtained. There are no wetlands or other waters of the
United States located on the site. The arroyo through the site is dry for multiple
years at a time. Initial excavation and other activities will not impact that arroyo
except for a "no-water" crossing which is a permitted impact even on waters of
the US (including wetlands) in the San Juan River Basin provided that no more
than 1/2 acre is impacted temporarily or permanently (USACE NWP14 Linear
Construction Projects). As long-term development plans are finalized, permits
required at that time for channelization, filling, culverts, etc. will be obtained.
Obtaining the storm water permit required review and consultation with US Fish
and Wildlife Service, State Historic Preservation Office, NM wildlife agencies,
and evaluation for impacts on fish and wildlife and cultural resources, No
significant impacts were identified.
13
The expansion does not provide potential for significant increased impacts on
air, water, or other environmental and health aspects.
Operations:
Primary operations: excavation of earth to use for berms and leveling of areas
and off-site onsite and as suitable for processing to produce aggregates for
producing concrete and surfacing roads and other traffic areas. Processing
may include screening, crushing, and washing of materials; fines (reject and
wash slimes) will be used on-site. Products will be stored in open stockpiles on-
site until transported for use.
Secondary operations: production of ready-mixed concrete and precast concrete
products for use off-site. Disposal (as beneficial fill) of concrete rubble and
broken concrete from precast manufacturing, excess earth from off-site. This
may include processing of materials (such as concrete rubble) for recycling, by
crushing, screening, and washing. Products will be stored in open stockpiles
on-site until transported for use.
Access will be limited to ABC Concrete Manufacturing personnel and other
personnel trained in accordance with MSHA and New Mexico State Mine
Inspector requirements.
Processing equipment may be moved to and from the site (the AO) across the
neighboring property to the north (with that property owner's written permission),
due to terrain.
Hauling of materials into and off-site shall be done using the existing site
entrance (access point) at the southwest corner of the property, which is gated
and will be locked when personnel are not present. Improvements to the
entrance will be made in coordination and cooperation with the City Street
Department. Warning signs in accordance with MSHA, OSHA, state, and city
requirements will be posted at the entrance and other suitable and necessary
locations.
Crushing and screening operations will be done using portable/mobile
equipment permitted by NMED AQB under GCP2 permit GCP2-7346, with
requirements, which must be met for dust control (including opacity), emissions
from engines, and related requirements.
Litter, weeds, other pests, dust, noise, and glare will be continuously monitored
and controlled to meet federal, state, and local standards.
The applicant believes that the above information demonstrates that 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, nor be substantially or permanently injurious to neighboring property.
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 proposed site plan and circulation plan is harmonious and compatible with
surrounding commercial and industrial areas' character, where there is actual
development. Buffer zones of at least 33 feet (10 meters) will be maintained
within Areas of Operation (per AQB requirements) and on property boundaries
14
(including the ROW of Troy King Road) unless waived in writing by property
owners of adjacent parcels.
There are no permanent or semi-permanent structures proposed at this time, so
there are no schematic architectural designs to be reviewed.
Screening will be provided by berms, and many activity areas will also be hidden
from view (from Troy King Road and the mobile home park to the southwest) by
terrain, especially as excavation and fill proceed, and will not differ significantly
from current and present uses of the property.
External Impacts Minimized—the propose 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 these impacts;
The proposed project/use wilt not create or expand fire hazards or vibration (no
blasting or similar activities).
Crushing and screening operations will be carried out during daylight hours: it is
not anticipated that excavation, fill, or loading/unloading of haul trucks will be
done during nighttime.
Therefore, no lighting is anticipated, and no glare expected o Equipment used
will meet current city, county, and state noise limits and is expected to be 50 dBA
or less at all property boundaries unless higher limits are allowed by adjacent
landowners (in writing).
Equipment used will meet current federal and state limits on fumes, dust, and
smoke from combustion of fuel (in engines) and crushing, screening, and
transfer of construction materials Opacity of engines and dust generally limited
to 20% or less, and no visible dust is allowed to cross property boundaries
without written agreement.
No negative impacts on existing uses in the area are expected.
Traffic impact is addressed in Attachment 6 of the 2017 application for the
original area.
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 proposed use has no negative impacts on existing uses in the area and in
the City through impacts on public infrastructure.
Traffic impact is unchanged from information provided in Attachment 6 of the
2017 application for the original (current) area. All parking necessary for this use
will be provided on-site.
Water for the proposed use will be brought into the site for that purpose
(washing and dust control), although in the future (for long-term industrial
development), a water tap for city water main will be requested.
No industrial wastewater will be discharged to any city sewer system. If
wastewater is generated by washing/screening or for other use, it will be treated
and evaporated on-site. No sanitary sewage will be discharged to any city sewer
15
system without requesting connection in the future for a sewer tap. Portable
chemical latrines will be used for operations on this site.
o Storm water will be discharged to the arroyo (which flows into the San Juan
River) in full compliance with all conditions of the applicable US EPA NPDES
General Storm Water Discharge Permit (Certification ID NMR053474).
The applicant does not expect any burden on police or fire protection services
from this operation. Continued activities will reduce problems with trespassing
and illegal dumping in the area.
Solid waste generated during this proposed use will be disposed of in permitted
landfills either through a contract waste hauler or by self-haul. No waste will be
disposed of on the site.
• Consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan—the proposed use will be
consistent with the purposes of the 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 applicant believes that the proposed use — both temporary and long-term
— is consistent with the purposes of the UDC, the Comprehensive Plan, and all
other applicable statutes, ordinances and policies of the City of Farmington, San
Juan County, and the State of New Mexico.
Existing uses to the north and south are of a similar nature to the activities
proposed and required site preparation (grading, cutting and filling) similar to
what is proposed at this location. Areas to the east and west (and immediately
to the south) are not yet developed but are zoned IND and PIP.
The applicant foresees no interference from this use with other uses permitted in
the zone or in the area where it is located.
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; and
The applicant believes that the new site size (approximately 20 acres) ensures
that there is adequate mitigation of impacts on surrounding land uses and
zoning districts.
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 of the UDC.
o The site plans (both with and without satellite photos) meet requirements.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Electrical Engineering: None of the proposed activities will require the power line along
Troy King to be raised or otherwise modified. Long-term permanent industrial use is
facilitated by the presence of the 3phase power line. Equipment brought onto and
removed from the site for crushing, screening, and washing will be well under
maximum standard clearances, as will trucks hauling from the site.
Fire Department: We understand and concur that the long term uses for which the site
is being prepared (ready-mix, pre-cast, etc.) will need fire hydrants at entrances (there
is now just a single entrance to the site, in the southwest corner). However, since grass
and brush must be cleared from the areas where excavation and crushing, screening,
washing, and stockpiling of sand and gravel and earth, and since all equipment is
portable and mobile and has their own fire-suppression and firefighting equipment, and
there are no permanent structures on the property, we do not believe that the hydrants
are needed during the excavation/grading phase of the project. Owner/operator will
ensure that full access, including 108-foot diameter turn-around areas, are available in
17
both the southern and northeastern portions of the property, and that access roads are
suitable for fire-fighting equipment.
Engineering: Coverage under the Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial
Activities was obtained from US EPA prior to submitting the initial application for
excavation and grading. The Net Submission of the Notice of Intent was done on 10
March 2017, assigned number MSGP-15597, and the NOI became effective
(coverage provided under the MSGP) on 09 April 2017.
Water/Wastewater: We understand that domestic (potable) water is not available from
the city water system. Potable water needed on site will be brought in, as will wash
water and water to control dust.

CONSIDERATION & RECOMMENDATION
ZC 19‐75
Zone Change from SF‐10 to GC for a vacant parcel located at
6610 E. Main Street
Planning & Zoning Commission Discussion of Petition ZC 19‐75 on September 12, 2019
Planning Manager Beth Escobar presented the staff report for ZC 19‐75, a request from Donna
Brimhall, represented by Sakura Engineering, for a zone change from SF‐10, Single‐family
Residential, to GC, General Commercial for a 1.14‐acre vacant parcel located at 6610 E. Main
Street on the northeast corner of the intersection of Country Club Drive and E. Main Street.
It is adjacent to a 1.10‐acre commercial parcel with an existing chiropractor’s office that can be
accessed from Country Club Drive across the subject property. The Ellsworth residential
subdivision is to the north and west. Zoning along the Main Street corridor is mainly General
Commercial.
There is an existing off‐site sign in the right‐of‐way west of the subject property as well as utility
infrastructure along the western boundary of the property.
Staff examined the request for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
Under Chapter 4‐Land Use & Development:
Action 4.5.1: Concentrate new commercial development in clusters at major
intersections and other appropriate locations as opposed to scattered and/or “strip”
development.
Action 4.5.5: Revise existing zoning districts and designations in the Unified
Development Code to support and encourage viable commercial areas.
Under Chapter 8‐Economic Development:
Objective 8.2: Assure that there are adequate and appropriate sites for industrial and
commercial business locations.
Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code supports the zone change request since it is located on a
major commercial thoroughfare and the infrastructure is in place to support commercial
development on this property.
The subject property is adjacent to E. Main Street, a principal arterial road as identified in the
2012 Major Thoroughfare Plan. The location at a signalized intersection is appropriate for
commercial development. No specific use is being proposed for this property. This is not spot
zoning since a commercial use at this location is consistent with other properties along the
highway corridor.
The Traffic Division is currently conducting a traffic count for Country Club Road. Once data is
reviewed, mitigation will be implemented if deemed necessary.
An email was received in support of the zone change from Cloud 9 Sleep Center, located at
6600 E. Main Street.
Staff concludes the following is appropriate for ZC 19‐75:
1) Approval for the zone change request. The proposal does not constitute spot zoning and
would not adversely impact the area. Rezoning to General Commercial is consistent with
sections of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 22 Economic
Development Plan.
Staff recommends approval of Petition ZC 19‐75, a request from Donna D. Brimhall for a zone
change from the SF‐10, Single‐family Residential District to the GC, General Commercial District
for a 1.14‐acre vacant property located at 6610 E. Main Street, subject to the following
conditions/UDC requirements:
1) Approval for the zone change request, the proposal does not constitute a spot zone and
would not adversely impact the area. The proposed zoning for this property is
consistent with sections of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Municipal Code
Chapter 22 Economic Development Plan;
2) Upon development of a commercial use on the property, construction of 5‐foot wide
sidewalk along the property boundaries shall be required. (COF Unified Development
Code (UDC) Section 6.4.8 and COF Ordinance Section 7‐1‐2).
3) All commercial development must comply with the supplemental drainage
requirements of COF UDC Section 5.7.3.
4) Compliance with any additional non‐residential standards set forth by the COF UDC and
COF ordinance.
5) Prior to getting a building permit from the City, the property owner will need to get an
updated highway access permit from NMDOT to allow access for a second business at
the shared access point.
Commissioner Freeman asked if the gas line and nonconforming sign were located on the
property or in a right‐of‐way. Ms. Escobar said the sign is in the right‐of‐way. The gas line may
have an easement on the property.
Paul Martin, 125 W. Main Street, is the representative for the petitioner. Mr. Martin said the
Brimhalls own this property, the property to the east, and a small piece of property to the west.
The property to the west will need to be rezoned at a future date.
Elliott Candelaria, 6705 E. Main Street, asked why the property had been zoned single‐family.
Mr. Martin said it should have been zoned GC. The single‐family zoning was a mistake. Mr.
Elliott asked if he could build a home on property abutting Main Street if it is zoned single‐
family. Ms. Escobar said he would have the right to build residential, but it would not be
recommended as the best use of the property. Chair Cardon mentioned that property next to
the highway that is zoned single‐family could be rezoned to GC if the owner would like to
change the zoning.
Andrea Yazzie, 5502 Country Club Drive, said she is concerned about the resale of her home
and the traffic problems that may ensue if the property is zoned GC. Ms. Yazzie said she has
spoken with the City Traffic Department and a traffic count has been implemented. Chair
Cardon noted that anytime there is a residence near a major arterial, there would be traffic.
The plan has always been to have commercial businesses along Main Street.
Ms. Escobar mentioned that a commercial use would require buffering such as a fence between
the commercial and residential properties. The Traffic Department may require a turn lane or
slip lane once a development proceeds. The City will try to mitigate the impact to the
surrounding neighbors for any development on the property.
Commissioner Smouse asked Ms. Yazzie if she is concerned about the traffic flow coming down
Country Club Drive or about the traffic at the intersection where the zone change is being
proposed. Ms. Yazzie said the new subdivision on the north end of Country Club Drive has
created traffic and congestion. Mr. Smouse said the zone change would not add to or alleviate
that traffic because those issues are preexisting.
Chair Cardon noted that only the zone change is being discussed at this time.
Angela Ward, 5501 Country Club Drive, asked if it was legal for the chiropractor’s office to
access his commercial property through the residential property. Commissioner Freeman
mentioned that the chiropractor owns both properties. Ms. Ward said the access to the
chiropractor’s office increases the traffic flow on Country Club Drive in front of her house. She
said any commercial business on the property would have to be accessed through Country Club
Drive.
Ms. Ward said there is a water users association in the neighborhood that uses the pump house
on that property. An 8‐inch pipe underground goes across the property. She said 14 properties
have access to that water. Commissioner Waldroup commented that the water line could also
be an issue if the property remained single‐family. He mentioned that a parking lot could be
built over an easement. Ms. Ward asked if the petitioner’s properties would be combined.
Mr. Martin said he is aware of the water line and the access issues. Those items will be
addressed when the property is developed. Other issues will be addressed when it is known
what type of business will be developed on the property. There are no development plans at
this time.
Commissioner Freeman asked Mr. Martin if there were plans to replat the properties into one
property. Mr. Martin said there were no plans at this time.
Ms. Ward asked if the residents would be able to address concerns when a developer proposes
to develop the property. Mr. Martin said when development begins the issues will be
addressed. Depending on the development, a traffic study may have to be done. NMDOT will
have jurisdiction during the development phase regarding access to the property.
Commissioner Smouse asked if consideration was taken into account regarding the property
values of the residents in the area. Ms. Escobar said the Planning Division does not take into
account property values due to unpredictability of those values. Those values are controlled by
the County Assessor’s office.
Commissioner Smouse stated that homeowners bought property with the understanding that
this property was zoned residential. Changing it to commercial may change the dynamics of
their neighborhood. Ms. Escobar noted that as a residential property, the owner would be
allowed to put five houses on the property. Five houses could potentially generate a lot more
traffic. If the zone change is approved, the City can control what is developed on the property.
Subdividing for residential use would not give the City control over access or the number of
homes. Ms. Escobar pointed out another small piece of property owned by the petitioner on
the other side of Country Club Drive that is zoned single‐family. She anticipates the owners to
rezone that property sometime in the future.
Commissioner Waldroup asked if the conditions for approval were necessary at this time, as
those conditions will be addressed during the development phase. Ms. Escobar said the
conditions are to make the petitioner aware of what the City will be looking for when the
property is developed.
Planning & Zoning Commission Action of Petition ZC 19‐75 on September 12, 2019
A motion was made by Commissioner Freeman and seconded by Commissioner Waldroup to
approve Petition ZC 19‐75, a request from Donna Brimhall, represented by Sakura Engineering,
for a zone change from SF‐10, Single‐family Residential, to GC, General Commercial for a 1.14‐
acre vacant parcel located at 6610 E. Main Street on the northeast corner of the intersection of
Country Club Drive and E. Main Street, subject to the following conditions/UDC requirements:
1) Approval for the zone change request, the proposal does not constitute a spot zone and
would not adversely impact the area. The proposed zoning for this property is
consistent with sections of the Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Municipal Code
Chapter 22 Economic Development Plan;
2) Upon development of a commercial use on the property, construction of 5‐foot wide
sidewalk along the property boundaries shall be required. (COF Unified Development
Code (UDC) Section 6.4.8 and COF Ordinance Section 7‐1‐2).
3) All commercial development must comply with the supplemental drainage
requirements of COF UDC Section 5.7.3.
4) Compliance with any additional non‐residential standards set forth by the COF UDC and
COF ordinance.
5) Prior to getting a building permit from the City, the property owner will need to get an
updated highway access permit from NMDOT to allow access for a second business at
the shared access point.
AYE: Chair Cardon, Commissioners Freeman, Mangum, Ragsdale, Sewell, and Waldroup.
NAY: Commissioner Smouse
Abstained: None
Absent: Commissioners Brown, Davis, Langenfeld, and Lockmiller.
Chair Cardon asked to have the Commissioners polled.
Commissioner Freeman said the request falls within the Comprehensive Plan for the City.
Replatting and breaking up the properties is a good use of the area.
Commissioner Smouse said he would like to see a plan where the whole property is not zoned
commercial. Perhaps the developer can provide an opportunity to the existing homeowners to
retain their home value by retaining part of the property as residential.
Commissioner Waldroup said he sees this as an opportunity to correct a zoning issue that
should have been made in the past.
Chair Cardon said the zoning is recommended in the Comprehensive Plan and the area should
be unified as the property is next to an arterial road. The property is located along the main
highway, which is generally zoned commercial.
Commissioner Sewell said the property should have been zoned commercial from the
beginning. The rezoning meets the Comprehensive Plan’s goals. The traffic issues may be
complicated from what comes down Country Club Drive rather than traffic at that intersection.
Commissioner Ragsdale said it meets the Comprehensive Plan. Homeowners can make their
concerns known when the property is developed and more is known as to how it will be
developed.
Commissioner Mangum said it meets the City’s long‐term plan and commercial surrounds the
area.
