Santa Fe County Seeks Members for Community Planning Committees

Santa Fe, NM – December 2, 2014 - Santa Fe County is currently seeking members of the general public who are interested in serving on a Community Planning Committee for each of the 13 community planning areas, previously established in Santa Fe County (see list below). Membership should include: residents, property owners, business owners, and community groups of the community planning areas. Once committees are established additional individuals are encouraged to attend and provide input at the planning committee meetings.

Each of the Planning Committees will meet periodically and the work involved will mostly likely run from February through August of 2015 on an “as-needed” basis. Planning Committees will be asked to meet and work with County staff on amending community plans, recommending base zoning, and developing an overlay community district—all within their respective community planning areas, to ensure consistency with the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP) and the Sustainable Land Development Code(SLDC).

A general “kickoff” of the process for all 13 Planning Committees will be scheduled by the County to take place in February 2015. At that meeting further detail will be provided in the form of general information, timelines, templates and scopes of work.
