ITEM ONE: CASE # 19-00300002: Request by Joe DiGregorio, Six D., Inc, property owner, for
Final Plat approval of a Minor Subdivision; Christine Subdivision Replat No. 1 of Block 4, Lebeck-
Atkins Subdivision. Said property is generally located Northeast of Marguerite Street and Aztec
Avenue (209 Marguerite Street, 1808 & 1820 W. Aztec Avenue); containing 3.8132 acres M/L.
CB Strain began by using the overhead projector to display the GIS Map showing the property’s
location. The property was originally designated as Block 4 in the Lebeck-Atkins Subdivision and
was later split by a deed east to west (creating a tract north and south within Block 4). CB spoke
about how the current subdivision regulations wouldn’t allow a split by deed whereas the property
owners would be required to go through the subdivision process. CB used the overhead projector to
display the final plat explaining how the property currently consisted of two (2) tracts of land. Being
that there were three (3) buildings located on the southern tract the property owner wanted to
subdivide into four (4) lots whereas each building would be on its own separate lot and have one (1)
lot left over for future development. CB stated that all four (4) lots met the minimum dimensional
requirements for the Heavy Commercial (HC) zone district whereas he recommended approval of the
minor subdivision. CB mentioned how the Gallup Taskforce (GTF) reviewed the request and their
comments were included in the Commission’s agenda packets. CB stated that members of the GTF
were present this evening if the Commission had any questions to ask them.
Commissioner Dooley asked for clarification on the location because she thought it was for the
Lowe’s downtown on Aztec Avenue. CB stated that the subdivision was located on Marguerite
Street and Aztec Avenue (across Gallup Central High School). He explained how the lots contained
the gas station, car wash and an Indian Health Service office. Commissioner Dooley noticed how the
Electric Department had comments (Page 1-7) about access running through a lot and wanted more
information on that. Marita Joe, Senior Electrical Engineer approached the podium and spoke about
the concerns she had of the replat. She used the overhead projector to reference the final plat and
pointed to where the electrical service was located (northwest of proposed Lot 4). Ms. Joe was
unsure as to how it was being served until they traced it out and discovered that it came to the meter
within the City street. Knowing that the meter was located in the street the Electric Department
made a recommendation to inform the Shop ‘N Save property owner that the gas station’s service
line was going through their property. Being that this was the only subdivision submitted for this
area in quite some time, the Electric Department requested the property owner to dedicate an
easement this plat for the service line that serves the gas station. Commissioner Dooley clarified that
the service line of the gas station (proposed Lot 4) ran on another property where the Shop ‘N Save
grocery store was located. Ms. Joe responded that was correct and reminded Commissioner Dooley
that the electric meter was privately owned by the gas station.
Commissioner Mackenzie-Chavez asked CB where the frontage was located for the proposed Lot 2.
CB stated that Lot 2’s frontage was off Aztec Avenue. Commissioner Mackenzie-Chavez asked if
the property owners were to develop Lot 2 would they have to meet setbacks from Aztec Avenue;
just concerned because of the odd shape of the lot. CB responded yes; each zone district had its own
required setbacks for the front, side and rear.

CB used the overhead projector to point to Lot 4 on the final plat and noted how it didn’t meet the
required setbacks because it was encroaching past the property line. CB spoke about how the gas
station would be considered a non-conforming structure, but if it ever went away the new built
structure would be required to comply with the current setbacks. Chairman Wilson asked if anything
ever changed on Lot 4 with the gas station, would they be able to rebuild a similar structure. CB
responded stating that they could build a similar structure but it would have to meet the setbacks
whereas it would probably be smaller than the existing building. CB recommended that the gas
station be left alone unless there was a catastrophic event or if the building needed to be torn down
for whatever reason.
Joe DiGregorio, property owner approached the podium and introduced himself. Mr. DiGregorio
stated that he represented Six D. Inc. and explained the meaning of his company name. He
mentioned how his father acquired a lot of property and how he did different things with each of
them. Mr. DiGregorio spoke about how they were cleaning up deeds and realized that they had four
(4) different properties that needed to be separated, which was why they were replatting.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for Mr. DiGregorio. There
were none.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak against this case. There were none.
Chairman Wilson acknowledged that there were several department heads present this evening. He
wanted to remind them to submit GTF comments that contained more substance other than, “No
comment.” Chairman Wilson stated that he would rather prefer a statement about how there were no
issues with the request or if the infrastructure was satisfactory to support the request. Commissioner
Dooley stated that she agreed with Chairman Wilson. She spoke about how she wondered if
adequate time was given to actually review the request. Commissioner Pawlowski added how he
understood, “No comment” to mean that the request had been thoroughly reviewed and there were no
issues. Chairman Wilson stated that he knew all the departments did a good job, but would like their
comments to be more thorough to help the Commission.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any further questions or comments. There
were none.
Chairman Wilson stated that the hearing was closed.
Motion to approve or deny the request for Case Number 2019-00300002. Commissioner Mackenzie-
Chavez motioned for approval of Item One. Seconded by Commissioner Pawlowski. Motion
Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:
Commissioner K. Mackenzie-Chavez (Yes)
Commissioner F. Pawlowski (Yes)
Commissioner J. Dooley (Yes)

ITEM TWO: CASE # 20-00900001: City initiated request to amend Title 10 “Land Development
Standards” of the Municipal Code of the City of Gallup Section 10-2-B-a “Residential” and Section
10-2-B-c “Non-Residential”; Tables 10-2-2, 10-2-4, 10-2-6, 10-2-8, 10-2-19 and 10-2-21. Add side
street yard requirements for corner lots within the Rural Residential (RR), Single-Family Residential
(SFR-A, B & C), Multi-Family Residential Low (MFRL), Multi-Family Residential Medium
(MFRM), General Commercial (GC) and Heavy Commercial (HC) Zone Districts. Establish ten foot
(10’) side street yard setbacks for SFR-A & B, MFRL, MFRM and GC and fifteen foot (15’) side
street yard setbacks for RR, SFR-C and HC. This item will go before City Council for final approval
on January 28, 2020.
CB began by reminding the Commission how the Land Development Standards (LDS) went through
many months of review when the zoning ordinance and regulations were updated in 2018. It has
come to CB’s attention that they failed to carry over the side street yard setbacks for corner lots from
the old code to the new code. Those requirements need to be added to the LDS because it was a
safety issue. CB continued by explaining how corner lots have two (2) frontages and how structures
are setback from the street in case a vehicle leaves the pavement; it creates a buffer zone to protect
the structure. The setbacks also provide somewhat of a noise buffer from the street as well as
providing clear space and open space. Whenever there’s a corner lot both streets surrounding the
property need those setbacks in place to ensure safety and act as a buffer. CB explained how the side
street yard setbacks were in the old code, but they missed carrying them over into the new code. He
emphasized how side street yard setbacks were typically included in any zoning code across the
country. CB spoke about how he worked with the consultants, Bohannan Huston to research the side
street yard setbacks and compare to other municipalities. In their research they found that a typical
side street yard setback was ten feet (10’) in most districts whereas they recommended reducing the
distance for Single-Family Residential zone districts. The old code had fifteen feet (15’) for the RS-1
and RS-2 zone districts (now known as SFR) and no side street setbacks for RAD, RATH and RM3
(now known as Multi-Family.) The text amendment presented this evening will establish side street
yard setbacks for the following zone districts as follows:
Rural Residential (RR) zone district fifteen feet (15’) because those were larger lots having a
minimum lot size of one (1) acre and had deeper setbacks.
Single-Family Residential (SFR-A & B) zone districts ten feet (10’) as opposed to the old
code where it was fifteen feet (15’).
Single-Family Residential (SFR-C) zone district fifteen feet (15’), which remained the same
from the old code being that those were typically larger lots having deeper setbacks.
Multi-Family Residential Low (MFRL) zone district for single-family, duplexes and
townhouses ten feet (10’).
Multi-Family Residential Medium (MFRM) zone district for townhouses and multi-family
(apartments) ten feet (10’).
General Commercial (GC) zone district ten feet (10’).
Heavy Commercial (HC) zone district is fifteen feet (15’).
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
January 8th, 2020
Page 4 of 10
CB pointed out how properties within the General and Heavy Commercial were mostly taken up by
parking whereas they already had a large distance established from the side street. However,
establishing these side street yard setbacks will prevent a design from locating parking in the rear
while not having side street setbacks. CB explained how as they worked more with the new code
they would find things that were missed; just like the last text amendment that was presented to the
Commission. CB reminded the Commission how it was the second text amendment coming before
them since the LDS was updated in August 2018. CB recommended approval of Resolution No.
RP2020-2 to provide safety for corner lots.
Commissioner Long asked CB how he determined which was the front yard and side yard on a
corner lot. CB stated that it depended on the address street which would serve as the front yard
setback. There was a brief discussion between staff and Commissioners on how some properties
don’t have their front yard setback according to their address. CB mentioned how the subdivision
design played a big part in determining where the front and side yard setbacks were designated. He
gave the example of a fifty-foot (50’) by one hundred-foot (100’) lot where it would be best to use
the fifty-foot (50’) for the frontage and one hundred foot (100’) for the side yard. If not, the lot
wouldn’t be able to meet the setbacks in the rear or the front. Commissioner Long asked CB if the
property owner could choose which was their front and side yard. CB stated yes, however the
Planning Department would have to first verify that it met the front, side street, side interior and rear
setbacks. Commissioner Long just wanted to ensure that square shaped lots that had the same length
on each side gave the property owner the option to choose which frontage they would prefer. CB
confirmed that they could if they met the minimum requirements.
Commissioner Cresto asked CB why the other residential zone districts (MHP, MXN and MXC)
weren’t included in the text amendment to establish side street yard setbacks. CB first explained how
the text amendment came about when a building permit was submitted for a corner lot and they
noticed how they didn’t carry the side street setbacks from the old code. CB continued by explaining
how the Mobile Home Park (MHP), Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MXN) and Mixed-Use Center
(MXC) zone districts weren’t included in the revision because they were setup in a way that took
care of the side street setbacks. For example, the MXN and MXC zone districts are located within
the older areas of town where they have smaller setbacks. The setback that’s required already carries
for the whole property which was why it wasn’t included. Commissioner Cresto pointed out how
Table 10-2-19 for the General Commercial zone district listed the front setback as five feet (5’) and
the side street setback as ten feet (10’) which he didn’t feel was consistent. Commissioner Cresto
asked CB why the side would need to be setback more. CB explained how the consultants had
recommended the ten feet (10’), but if the Commission wanted to reduce the side street setback to
five feet (5’) for General Commercial he would agree to the revision. Heavy Commercial however
would need to keep the side street setback at fifteen feet (15’). Commissioner Cresto asked CB if
making that revision would conflict with any safety issues in the General Commercial zone districts.
CB responded that commercial properties generally had their parking areas to take up space so it
would take care of itself. Commissioner Long clarified that the text amendment was only for corner
lots. CB responded yes. Commissioner Long stated that he agreed with the revision of reducing the
side street setback for the General Commercial zone district.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
January 8th, 2020
Page 5 of 10
Commissioner Cresto made a Motion to reduce the side street yard setback for the General
Commercial zone district from ten feet (10’) to five feet (5’) for the text amendment presented.
Seconded by Commissioner Pawlowski. Motion Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:
Commissioner J. Cresto (Yes)
Commissioner F. Pawlowski (Yes)
Commissioner K. Mackenzie-Chavez (Yes)
Commissioner J. Dooley (Yes)
Commissioner M. Long (Yes)
Chairman Wilson asked CB if it was practical for the townhouses in MFRM and MFRL zone
districts to have a minimum of ten feet (10’) for the side street yard setbacks. CB responded yes.
Chairman Wilson asked CB if there would be a sidewalk between the structures of the street at ten
feet (10’). CB responded that the sidewalk would be on the other side of the property line and not
within the setback. CB emphasized how the setbacks wouldn’t affect the space where the pedestrian
infrastructure was located; the side street yard setbacks were just to setback the building from the
property line.
Commissioner Long asked CB what the side street setbacks for Single Family Residential was in the
old code and if it was still consistent. CB stated that RS-1 and RS-2 (now known as SFR) were
fifteen feet (15’) in the old code. Commissioner Long asked what the Multi-Family side street
setbacks were in the old code. CB explained how the old code didn’t have side street setbacks
established for RAD, RATH and RM3 (now known as Multi-Family) whereas the old code lacked
these safety precautions. CB mentioned how they’ve had vehicles run into apartment buildings in the
past whereas there was a need to establish side street setbacks for safety reasons.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak to this case.
Angela Olive approached the podium and introduced herself. She informed the Commission that she
was representing Bob Olive in regards to the property he recently purchased at Cerrito Drive and Red
Rock Drive/Ridgecrest Avenue. Mrs. Olive stated that the odd shaped lot was located on a corner
lot. She continued by explaining how prior to the property purchase Mr. Olive had his architect
contact Stan Henderson, Public Works Director to speak about the zoning regulations. After
speaking to Mr. Henderson they moved forward with their plans according to the regulations at that
time. Mrs. Olive stated that they haven’t started building yet because they just got the basics going;
they’re working the dirt and everything else. She mentioned how the back of the property goes right
off to the area of Ford Canyon Park. Mrs. Olive stated that the plans they currently have are
according to the existing zone district’s dimensional requirements of five feet (5’) as the side setback.
If the text amendment were to be approved this evening they would have to change their plans to
reflect the ten feet (10’), which Mrs. Olive feels would really encroach into their plans of the new
house. Mrs. Olive spoke about how Mr. Olive spent a lot of money on the architect so she requested
that the Commission grant a variance. Mrs. Olive felt that the property would qualify for a variance
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
January 8th, 2020
Page 6 of 10
being that lot was an odd shape and the fact that they already had the plans drawn up prior to the text
amendment. She asked the Commission if they could grant a variance of five feet (5’) for the side
street setback or be grandfathered in after the text amendment was approved.
Commissioner Pawlowski stated that he assumed the new structure would be a single-family home.
Mrs. Olive stated that it was actually going to be a multi-family home being that it was permissive in
the Multi-Family Residential Low (MFRL) zone district. Mrs. Olive stated that it was going to be a
duplex with garages and pointed out how it was a small piece of property. Mrs. Olive informed the
Commission that she had copies of the plans with her and could show them if they pleased.
Commissioner Pawlowski stated that he just wanted to know what kind of structure it would be.
Commissioner Pawlowski summarized what he believed she was requesting from the Commission
which was to be relieved from the ten foot (10’) requirement and granted the five foot (5’) for the
side street setback off Ridgecrest Avenue. He continued by stating that he understood the rationale
behind her request, but didn’t feel it was a good idea because he was familiar with the busy traffic of
the nearby elementary school. Commissioner Pawlowski stated that he wasn’t saying that an
additional five feet (5’) would prevent serious types of accidents, but it would be nice to have ten feet
(10’) for safety reasons. Mrs. Olive stated that she knew there were plans to put in a drainage along
the corner where the street turns going down the property and out to the canyon, but she was unsure
as to how that would affect that corner.
Commissioner Dooley commented on how she was unsure if this was the appropriate time that Mrs.
Olive’s issue should be addressed. CB asked Mrs. Olive to see the plans she had. After reviewing
the plans Mrs. Olive had in hand, CB informed the Commission that no permits had been submitted
to the Planning Department nor have any reviews taken place on that particular site. CB stated that
this was the first time he had seen or heard of it. Mrs. Olive stated that she had the plans that were
sent to them from the City of Gallup and showed them to CB. CB stated that the City of Gallup
doesn’t do plans and after looking at the document he verified that the copy she was referring to was
the SFR dimensional standards from the LDS (sent by the City to the property owner.) CB again
emphasized how the plans had not been submitted nor reviewed by the City Planning Department.
Mrs. Olive stated that the architect based everything off the zoning regulations that were in place at
that time. CB pointed out how the plans Mrs. Olive had were stamped and drafted by their architect
on July 10, 2019, which was after the new code was adopted in August 2018. So when the architect
drew up the plans the new regulations were already in place. CB also pointed out how the new code
(adopted in August 2018) didn’t have side street yard setbacks for corner lots. Mrs. Olive stated that
she understood that there were no regulations for side street yard setbacks, which was why their
architect drew up their plans having all side setbacks (side street and side interior) as five feet (5’).
Mrs. Olive stated that on Table 10-2-6 in the Land Development Standards it listed the side setbacks
as five feet (5’) in the Multi-Family Residential Low (MFRL) zone district. CB clarified that the side
setback currently listed in the code was only for the side interior setback, which was the setback from
another lot; not from a corner street. CB stated that the text amendment presented this evening will
establish the side “street” setback as ten feet (10’) and carry the side “interior” setback to five feet
(5’) as it currently stands. CB stated that there were currently no side “street” setback requirements
because no one has submitted for a permit located on a corner lot since the code’s been updated in
August 2018. Chairman Wilson stated that the case before the Commission this evening was to make
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
January 8th, 2020
Page 7 of 10
a decision on the text amendment whereas Mrs. Olive’s request wasn’t part of that action. Chairman
Wilson informed Mrs. Olive that she needed to go through the process with the Planning Department
and if a petition was necessary she could come back before the Commission. Chairman Wilson
stated that all the appropriate paper work needed to be submitted whereas the request would go
through the appropriate channels. Chairman Wilson asked CB if that was correct. CB asked Mrs.
Olive when they were planning on submitting plans. Mrs. Olive responded that she wasn’t sure. CB
stated that this text amendment was to establish side street yard setbacks and after it went before the
Planning and Zoning Commission it would be presented to the City Council for final approval at the
January 28, 2020 meeting. Once the text amendment went through the approval process it was then
the law. CB informed Mrs. Olive that if the Planning Department hasn’t received their permit
application to review prior to those dates the new rule would apply. Curtis Hayes, City Attorney
pointed out how there was also a thirty (30) day appeal period before the text amendment could
become effective. CB stated that was correct. CB explained that whenever an ordinance was
adopted there was an appeal period after City Council approved it whereas there was an additional
thirty (30) days. So if City Council approves the text amendment at their January 28 th meeting the
new requirements will become effective thirty (30) days after that (if no one appeals it.)
Commissioner Pawlowski asked CB who could possibly appeal the text amendment. CB responded
that anyone could appeal. CB recommended that the Olives submit their permit application and
plans to the Planning Department prior to those deadlines that way they can apply the current
requirements, which would meet their needs. Mrs. Olive stated that she understood and thanked the
Commission for their time.
Commissioner Long asked Madam Secretary, Nikki Lee to show the LDS page with the Single-
Family Residential’s new dimensional standards being discussed this evening. The overhead
projector was used to display (the revised) page 10 of the LDS. (A copy is attached hereto, marked
as Exhibit A and made a part of these official minutes). Commissioner Long directed the
Commission to see the highlighted area in yellow which was the new side “street” yard setbacks
being added this evening. Table 10-2-4 refers to the letter “f” as the side “street” setback and by
looking at Figure 10-2-2 it shows where that setback is located. CB pointed to Figure 10-2-2
showing where the lot area, lot frontage, lot width, front setback, side interior setback, side street
setback and rear setback were located.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any further questions. There were none.
Chairman Wilson stated that the hearing was closed.
Motion to approve or deny the request for Case Number 2020-00900001. Commissioner Dooley
motioned for approval (positive recommendation) of Item Two with the recommended revision to the
General Commercial zone district. Seconded by Commissioner Pawlowski. Motion Carried.

ITEM THREE: CASE # 20-01100001: Annual Open Meetings Act, Resolution No. RP2020-01.
The Open Meetings Act requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission (at least) annually review
what constitutes reasonable notice to the public of its meetings. Accordingly, the resolution is
presented to the Board for consideration and approval.
CB began by explaining how every year the Commission was required to adopt a new Open
Meetings Act resolution to adopt meeting times, what was considered reasonable notice and special
and emergency meeting requirements. CB continued by explaining how they were following the
same rules they have followed previous years. If the Commission didn’t want to make any changes
such as, changing the days or times of the meetings CB recommended approval of the presented
resolution.
Commissioner Mackenzie-Chavez reminded the Commission how they had previously changed the
meeting times from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. and she wanted to know if the 6 p.m. meeting worked for all the
Commissioners. Chairman Wilson and Commissioner Dooley both stated that they preferred the 6
p.m. meetings.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any further questions. There were none.
Chairman Wilson stated that the hearing was closed.

6 vacant lots on Mentmore Rd. (County Rd. 1) & Chee Dodge Blvd. NL
65.4513 acres (according to surveys)
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of Jagwest, LLC I would like to request the rezoning of 6 tracts from Rural Holding
Zone (RHZ) to Industrial (I) zone district. The criteria we qualify under is listed in the City of
Gallup Land Development Standards section 10-5-B-d-i2 as:
d. The land area within a RHZ district designation has become appropriate for urban
development because of availability of public utilities and services as well as the needs of the
public.
e. The social, economic or environmental interests of the public good would be better served
by the proposed district than the existing one.
Sincerely,
Type text here 1/22/20
