UDC – Letter to County Community Development Dept

NOV 16TH, 2016 – PLEASE SEE UPDATED INFORMATION. WE WANT OUR ZONING TO REFLECT CURRENT ETZ ZONING.

Our letter to the County with more fine-tuning. We believe this covers our residents’ immediate concerns regarding mobile homes and manufactured homes allowed east of A-Mtn. Please join us at the Government Center, Tuesday, Oct 25th, 9:00 am, in support of this request.

 

Ms. Janine Divyak, Chief Planner
Community Development Department
845 N. Motel Blvd.
Las Cruces, NM 88007

Ms. Divyak,

Enclosed, please find the changes we would like to see implemented in the proposed UDC and proposed UDC zoning map.

One of the attractive features of this area of Doña Ana County has been the fact that there are no mobile homes or manufactured homes allowed. Therefore, the proposed UDC has disturbed and appalled many of our residents and landowners.

An email Ms. Angela Roberson forwarded suggested that Comm. Rawson “didn’t fully understand that the changes could be made and approved by the BOCC at the public hearing.” If this is correct then these changes should be easy to implement before the public hearing.

Incidentally, we are very thankful Comm. Rawson brought this to our attention as the proposed UDC would have significantly impacted every resident and landowner in our area. The County would then be negatively affected by subsequent tax revenue decreases as land and property values drop.

Thank you so much for your attention and consideration.

The TCA Board

NOV 16TH, 2016 – PLEASE SEE UPDATED INFORMATION. WE WANT OUR ZONING TO REFLECT CURRENT ETZ ZONING.

The Talavera (and surrounding residents and landowners, east of A-Mountain and adjacent to Dripping Springs Road and Soledad Canyon Road), want the following corrected in the UDC, Article 5 and UDC Zoning Map:

Article 5., Zoning Districts and Requirements, Final Draft UDC clean 9/30/2016.
We request ‘Transect Zones’ pg102 and ‘Use Zones’ pg103 that reflect the Talavera (and surrounding land east of A-Mountain and adjacent to Dripping Springs Road and Soledad Canyon Road) current zoning accurately.

Add item T2L to Transect Zones, pg102.
Add T2L category to Transect Zones on Land Use Matrix, pg105
Add ‘Manufactured Home’ option in ‘Primary Use of Property’, Land Use Matrix, pg105
