2. RESOLUTION 19-10 – AMEND THE FIESTA AREA PLAN.
Ms. Erin Callahan presented item two. This is a resolution amending the Fiesta Area Plan in order to change certain density and dimensional
regulations. This is a special use amendment for the Fiesta Area Plan – legal description for the parcel is covered by this plan amendment
are tract 1A,1A,1A,1A Los Cerritos de Los Lunas phase 5, tract 1A,1A,1A,1A2 Los Cerritos de Los Lunas phase 5, tract 1A,1A,1A1B Los
Cerritos de Los Lunas phase 5, and tract A1 Las Terrazas at Fiesta subdivision unit 2 – this is within council district 2. This master plan is for
single-family dwellings. This is in an SU zone. Notice was sent to surrounding homeowners as required and there was no opposition of the
request were received. This item has come before the Planning & Zoning Commission and was recommended for approval with a couple of
recommended additions. The purpose of this amendment is that the current area plan allows for zero lot line residential structures that are
attached and specified subdivisions. The current plan allows accessory structures to be set back five feet property lines. Recommendation is
to allow for zero lot line on attached and detached structures and allow the setback for accessory structures to be three feet rather than five
feet from the side and rear setback. In addition to the amendments, the applicant requested two minor changes to their area plan. First, the
current zoning standards calls for a separation of ten feet between structures and they are requesting the language be amended to allow a
separation sufficient to meet fire code requirements rather than have it be a blank ten feet. The other recommendation was to clarify the
language that was written in the original definitions section just for flow/grammar. Mr. Sheldon Greer approached the podium – he
mentioned that DR Horton will not building – Michael Sivage is likely to build himself. These are smaller lots, more affordable – goal is to get
home prices under $200,000. Testimony was given by Diane Martinez, she resides on Carnival Rd., her concern is about the two story
houses that are planning to be built. Her concern is about the size of the lots, they are smaller. She claims she, along with neighbors, did not
receive notice of the meeting. She ask to submit a petition from residents. She has two issues that they are upset about, one is the building
of two-story homes and the second is more houses are going to be built facing Carnival Rd. She is asking that Council table this decision.
Mayor Griego asked Council if they had any questions – there were none. He then asked the audience if there anymore or anyone who
wanted to speak further on this topic – there was none. Mayor Griego asked for motion from Council to close public hearing.
Mayor Griego asked for motion from Council to recess as a council and reconvene in to a public hearing.
APPROVAL: Motion to approve
MOVED: Councilman Jaramillo
SECONDED: Councilman Munoz
CARRIED: Motion passed on a vote of 4 (Councilman Romero – yes; Councilman Ortiz – yes; Councilman Munoz – yes;
Councilman Jaramillo – yes) FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 7:19PM
