reminded the Commission that the meeting was being live streamed so everyone needed to speak
loud and clear for the public to hear.
Commissioner Cresto recused himself from the Commission for Item One.
ITEM ONE: CASE # 21-00300004: Request by Jacqueline Fishman, Consensus Planning, Inc. on
behalf of M2T2, LLC, property owner, for Final Plat approval of a Minor Subdivision; T2
Subdivision an Unplatted Tract of Land situated in Section 27, T15N, R18W, N.M.P.M. The
property is generally located on the 600 block of Gurley Avenue immediately adjacent to and to the
east of 600 Gurley Avenue.
CB Strain began by using the overhead projector to display the GIS map showing the property’s
location on Gurley Avenue. CB stated that there was an existing development on the property, which
was the BeeHive Homes. The property owner is requesting to subdivide the one (1) tract of land into
three (3) lots. The tract of land is currently unplatted so it has a metes and bounds description.
Proposed Lot 1 will contain the existing elderly assisted housing facility, Lot 2 will contain a newly
built charter school, and Lot 3 will remain undeveloped. CB used the overhead projector to display
the plat. Sections 11-1-A4g and 11-1-F of the City of Gallup Subdivision Regulations requires all
lots within subdivisions to have paved street access with curb, gutter, sidewalks, and utilities. Street
improvements, water, and wastewater system lines must be installed along the entire length of the
property frontage where future extension of these facilities is likely to occur. CB stated that the
proposed subdivision’s frontage was off of Mariyana Street and Gurley Avenue. He explained how
there were city water lines currently existing in both frontages of Mariyana Street and Gurley Avenue
so there was no need for the installation of water lines there. Wastewater lines currently only exist on
a portion of the Gurley Avenue frontage and do not exist on the Mariyana Street frontage. CB
explained how Section 11-1-F3 of the City of Gallup Subdivision Regulations allowed for the
deferral of utility installation when access was provided on a side street. Proposed Lot 1 where the
BeeHive Homes is located has access to both water and wastewater from the Gurley Avenue frontage
whereas a deferral of wastewater installation on Mariyana is justified. Proposed Lot 2 has access to
water and wastewater system lines on Gurley Avenue. Proposed Lot 3 has access to water system
lines on Gurley Avenue, however not to wastewater. Due to the existing terrain and elevation issues,
extension and installation of a city wastewater line is not feasible along a portion of the proposed Lot
2 frontage and along the entire frontage of Proposed Lot 3. CB explained how on the midpoint of Lot
2’s frontage there was a wastewater system main line there that could be accessed for that lot’s
development. However, from that point to the east there are no wastewater lines, which is due to the
terrain and elevation issues. Because of this the City of Gallup Water/Wastewater Department has
waived the requirement for extension and installation of a wastewater system line along a portion of
the Gurley Avenue frontage of proposed Lot 2 and the entire frontage of proposed Lot 3. CB
explained how the city does not generally allow for septic systems, however there are terrain issues
that will not allow for the installation of wastewater lines, which was why the Water/Wastewater
Department was going to allow on proposed Lot 3 if/when future development occurs. These
deferrals will be documented with a Subdivision Agreement, which will be recorded with the plat
and carry with the land. CB informed the Commission that the Water/Wastewater Department was in
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
November 10th, 2021
Page 2 of 8
attendance this evening so if they had any questions about the deferrals or site constraints they could
ask them. The Gallup Task Force did review the request and their comments are included in the
agenda packets for review. The proposed subdivision met all the dimensional requirements whereas
CB recommended approval provided they comply with the conditions set forth in the Subdivision
Agreement.
Chairman Wilson asked the Water/Wastewater Department to approach the podium and make a
statement. Michael DeClerq, Water/Wastewater Superintendent introduced himself. He explained
how they looked at the elevation issues and found the sewer line that is in Gurley Avenue to be
shallow and the terrain on Lot 3 is below that. They would have to install a lift station to push the
water up and over or the other option like CB mentioned is to install a septic system. Mr. DeClerq
stated that with all the rock in that area, it would be very expensive to install a lift station.
Chairman Wilson asked CB which lot was proposing to develop a charter school. CB responded
proposed that it was Lot 2 proposing to develop a charter school. Chairman Wilson asked Mr.
DeClerq if the new charter school would be okay on tying into the current sewer system. Mr.
DeClerq stated that it would be on the western side of the lot, so they would have to design the
charter school in such a way that the sewer is on the west side of the lot. Mr. DeClerq explained how
the sewer line on Gurley Avenue goes to the northeast about to the middle of Lot 2. So they have to
be careful how they design it, however Mr. DeClerq did think that it was feasible. CB informed
Chairman Wilson that Consensus Planning was also in attendance this evening so if they wanted to
ask any questions regarding design they could do so. Chairman Wilson stated that he was concerned
about the volume of people and amount of waste that this type of facility would bring to that lot. He
wanted to know at what point it would be determined that the septic system was large enough to
accommodate a commercial type of operation. Mr. DeClerq stated that would be a question for the
engineer. CB explained how the approval this evening was for the subdivision, to defer the
extensions, and to allow the installation of a septic system. If/when development comes, they’ll have
to design that system to meet whatever type of development it is and that will be reviewed during the
building permit process. CB continued by stating that if it was not feasible to put a septic system in
for what they want, then they’ll have to look at doing a lift station, which at that time they’ll have to
come back to the Commission to amend the Subdivision Agreement. CB emphasized how the
Commission was not approving a septic system for a particular development; they’re just saying that
one could be installed if/when development occurs.
Commissioner Long stated his concerns about installing a septic system in commercial opposed to a
residential; he did not think that a septic system could support a commercial development.
Commissioner Long was also concerned that the applicants would have to return to the Commission
if they decided to install a lift station. CB understood that lift stations were allowed by the
Wastewater Department’s code, however the reason the septic system language was within the
Subdivision Agreement was because it was something that was not allowed. CB added how they
were trying to give the developers options so they cannot say it’s undevelopable. Mr. DeClerq stated
that in their GTF Comments they gave the applicants the option to install a septic tank or lift station
whereas if the development was too big for a septic system they would have to install a lift station.
He mentioned how Williams Acres had a lift station where they are pumping into the city’s sewer

system so it was working for that private entity. Commissioner Spolar pointed out how only
proposed Lot 3 was allowed to install a septic system.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this case.
Jacqueline Fishman, Consensus Planning, Inc. approached the podium and introduced herself. She
explained that the charter school was what was driving the subdivision, which would be going onto
Lot 2. As far as Lot 3 it’s currently vacant and with the Commission’s discussion this evening
regarding a possible septic system; they have not determined what is going to be developed there yet.
Ms. Fishman also pointed out how they are not requesting to rezone Lot 3 whereas it will remain in
the Rural Holding Zone District. They do however plan to rezone Lot 1 and Lot 2 to commercial and
they intend to have all necessary city utilities available there.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for Ms. Fishman. There were
none.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak against this case. There were none.
Chairman Wilson asked if there were any other interested parties wishing to speak to this case. There
were none.
Chairman Wilson stated that the hearing was closed.
Motion to approve or deny the request for Case Number 2021-00300004. 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 M. Long (Yes)
Commissioner K. Spolar (Yes)
Chairman K. Wilson (Yes)
Commissioner Cresto recused himself from the Commission for Item Two.
ITEM TWO: CASE # 21-00600004: Request by Jacqueline Fishman, Consensus Planning, Inc.
on behalf of M2T2, LLC, property owner, for the Rezoning of 4.3816 acres M/L FROM Rural
Holding Zone (RHZ) Zone District TO General Commercial (GC) Zone District. The property is
generally located on the 600 block of Gurley Avenue immediately adjacent to and to the east of 600
Gurley Avenue; more particularly described as Lot 1 and Lot 2, T2 Subdivision.
CB explained how this item was for the same property the Commission just approved for the
subdivision whereas the next step is to rezone. Subsection 10-5-B-d-i-3a of the City of Gallup Land
Development Standards states that amendments to the zoning map, which involve a particular area of
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
November 10th, 2021
Page 4 of 8
land may be made by the Council on its own motion, upon the request of the Planning and Zoning
Commission or person(s) holding 51% or more of the ownership. Upon determination that there are
sufficient grounds, a rezone request may be granted. In this case, the petitioning property owner,
M2T2, LLC represents 100% of the ownership of the property for the proposed rezone. And as such
are making a request for a zoning map amendment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. CB
explained how the property was currently zoned Rural Holding Zone and when the code was
amended in 2018 they removed allowable uses in this zone district. The Rural Holding Zone now
serves only as a holding zone and in order to allow a use, it must be rezoned. That’s why the
BeeHive Homes development was allowed with a Rural Holding Zone designation because when
they developed it, the code allowed that type of use in that zone district. CB explained how the
rezoning was going to do two things: the first thing is that it will bring the existing BeeHive Homes
development into compliance. When they changed the code it brought the property into a non-
conformance meaning that it was legal when it was built, but no longer meets the current regulations.
The second thing is that it will allow for the development of the proposed charter school on Lot 2.
Lot 3 will remain in the Rural Holding Zone because the owners are unsure what they want to do
with it at this time. CB mentioned how the terrain on that lot is pretty harsh where it’s going to take a
lot of site work to bring it into a developable state. If/when they decide to develop Lot 3, they can
rezone accordingly. CB stated that the criteria that is met for this rezone is the social, economic or
environmental interests of the public good would be better served by the proposed district rather than
the existing one. Staff recommended approval of the rezone from Rural Holding Zone (RHZ) Zone
District to General Commercial (GC) Zone District.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for staff.
Commissioner Long asked CB for clarification on what lots were being rezoned. CB used the
overhead projector to display the GIS Map showing the area’s current zoning designations. He
pointed to Lot 1 and Lot 2 that were being rezoned to the General Commercial Zone District. CB
stated that they were not doing any spot zoning because the new zoning designations would be
consistent with that area. CB mentioned how the UNM property was zoned Rural Holding Zone and
if they wanted to they could rezone to commercial. However, that’s not urgent or necessary at this
time whereas it could remain as a non-conforming status. Chairman Wilson asked if UNM was
exempt from the zoning standards. CB responded that they were not exempt from zoning
requirements; only building permits, which were handled through the state.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this case.
Jacqueline Fishman, Consensus Planning, Inc. again approached the podium and introduced herself.
She thanked the Commission and expressed her appreciation for staff’s assistance. As CB mentioned,
the zoning map amendment will correct the non-conforming status of the BeeHive Homes and it will
allow the charter school to be developed. Their team has been working on the construction
documents for the charter school, which she believes were filed with the city today. She’s hoping this
project will be moving quickly and should see some good things happening. Ms. Fishman believed
that the zone change would benefit the community and knows that it would not be a spot zone being
that there was General Commercial to the north.

ITEM THREE: CASE # 21-00300005: Request by Mark C. Gartner property owner of G.V. Ltd.
Partnership, for Final Plat approval of a Minor Subdivision; Replat No. 1 of Lots 12 & 13, Catalpa
Hills Estates Subdivision, Unit 5 and A Portion of Tract B Within Sections 34 & 35, T15N, R18W,
N.M.P.M. The property is generally located south of Catalpa Hills Road and east of Mt. Mahogany
Road immediately adjacent to Coyote Hill Road and located within McKinley County; subdivision
contains 18.2800 acres M/L. The property lies within the City of Gallup’s planning and platting
jurisdiction.
CB stated that the property was located in the county containing three (3) tracts of land totaling
18.2800 acres. The property owner wishes to reconfigure the existing three (3) tracts whereas they
are not increasing the number of tracts; just reconfiguring the lines. The subdivision will also vacate
and dedicate new easements. This property lies within the city’s three (3) mile planning and platting
jurisdiction. CB explained how New Mexico Statute 1978 Annotated Sections 3-19-7 and 3-20-7
gives a municipality subdivision authority over the property, which was why the item came before
the Commission to comply with state law. Once approved, the plat will be filed with the County
Clerk’s Office and the lots will become legal lots of record. CB stated that neither utility nor
pedestrian infrastructure requirements would apply as this subdivision lied outside of the city limits
and will not be tied into any city infrastructure with the exception of city electric. The City Electric
Department is requiring dedicated easements as part of this subdivision, which has been notated on
the plat. The Gallup Task Force has reviewed the request and their comments are included in the
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
November 10th, 2021
Page 6 of 8
agenda packets for review. CB informed the Commission that Marita Joe from the City Electric
Department was in attendance this evening so if the Commission had any questions for her regarding
easements she was available. CB recommended approval of the subdivision. This approval will bring
them into compliance with state law requiring Commission approval with anything within the city’s
three (3) mile planning and platting jurisdiction. CB used the overhead projector to display the GIS
Map pointing to the location of the properties.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for staff.
Commissioner Mackenzie-Chavez asked how they would obtain access to Tract B1. CB stated that
there was no access. If the subdivision was in the city this would not be allowed. However, being that
the properties lie within the county they have different subdivision regulations that apply. CB
emphasized how they were basically following procedure and could not enforce the city’s
subdivision regulations because it lied within the county. If this property were in the city, they would
be required to have frontage on a right-of-way so they are able to access the property. CB mentioned
how in the county they do a lot of dedicating of access easements across properties to gain access.
CB informed the Commission that the property owner was in attendance this evening so if they
wanted to ask him questions regarding access they could do so.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this case.
Mark C. Gartner approached the podium and introduced himself as the majority owner of G.V.
Limited whom is the owner of the Catalpa Hills Subdivision. Mr. Gartner spoke about how he has a
buyer for Lot 13 and how he wants to build will encroach on Lot 12 so he’s moving the property line
between Lot 12 and Lot 13 over to accommodate the buyer. They also had to move the south
property line to maintain a three (3) acre minimum, which was required by the county.
Chairman Wilson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for Mr. Gartner.
Commissioner Mackenzie-Chavez asked Mr. Gartner how he planned to deal with the land locked lot
in the back. Mr. Gartner responded that it was not a lot; it’s a vacant, unplatted land. He mentioned
how Mt. Mahogany Road will go in that direction.
Chairman Wilson asked if there was anyone wishing to speak against this case. There were none.
Chairman Wilson asked if there were any other interested parties wishing to speak to this case. There
were none.
Chairman Wilson stated that the hearing was closed.
Motion to approve or deny the request for Case Number 2021-00300005. Commissioner Pawlowski
