CERTIFICATION OF OFFICIAL ZONING MAP GIS LAYER. Mayor Griego asked that Ms. Ainsworth present items two and three together. Our Municipal Code does require that we conduct a formal approval of the zoning map on a yearly basis, which we have not done for several years. Corrections have been made over the last 2-3 years. We have had skilled staff in GIS going through old files to make corrections. Because our map is pretty dynamic we don’t use the map atlas anymore, residents and realtors can now log on and view from their homes/offices (on the Village website). Ms. Ainsworth indicated that they were looking at updating the ordinance so they do not have to do a yearly approval as they do now. The street atlas – a version is done for the Code Officers and PD – there is now a street layer that is available also on the website for everyone to view. It is updated and made current when we get new streets/subdivisions. Over the last few years, we have had to do a lot of street corrections and changes due to E911, so now we’ve corrected all the errors and directions with the help of E911. Mayor Griego asked for a motion from Council.

ORDINANCE 276-2016-10 – AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE CHANGTE IN ZONING OF A DESIGNATED AREA WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY OF LOS LUNAS, COUNTY OF VALENCIA, STATE OF NEW MEXICO. Ms. Christina Ainsworth presented item one. Planning & Zoning heard this item on November 2, 2016 – the applicant was requesting to rezone the property to C-1 on Camino Del Rey. There was considerable opposition at the meeting but Planning & Zoning did recommend approval. The item was heard by the Council and received opposition. Per the recommendation of Councilwoman Sanchez-Montoya, staff talked with the applicant to discuss the case. Applicant has revised application/changed his request from C-1 to R-2. The R-2 zone allows multi-family only – no commercial. Revised ordinance was submitted to Debra in the event council chooses to proceed with the R-2. Mayor Griego asked if there were any questions from Council. Councilman Saiz asked if P&Z had to hear the item again. Ms. Ainsworth replied, no, they did not, the recommendation they made was for a high zoning – they considered multi-family appropriate. Mayor Griego asked the audience if there was anyone who wanted to speak in favor of the zone change. Mr. James Jaramillo, Manager for Red Cap Properties, approached the podium – his goal was to put multi-family in the C-1 zoning and after consulting with staff, the recommendation was to change to R-2 for multi-family use. Councilman Ortiz inquired about the plans – Mr. Jaramillo replied that they look pretty much the same (horseshoe shape). Councilman Saiz asked how many units they were looking at putting in. Mr. Jaramillo replied, 40-50, governed by the parking. There were no more comments made on this item. Mayor Griego asked to close the public hearing and Council would go back in to open meeting.
