Sustainable Development Code Receives Unanimous Recommendation; Moves Forward

On Thursday, July 16, the Santa Fe County Development Review Committee (CDRC) voted unanimously to recommend that the Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners publish title and general summary for the first five chapters, definitions, and the table of contents of the Sustainable Land Development Code. The CDRC action occurred at a public hearing regarding the first five chapters of the draft Sustainable Land Development Code.

During the meeting, the CDRC heard comment from members of the public and development community regarding the draft and process used to vet those chapters. The unanimous feedback was that the process has been a success and the CDRC should request that the Board of County Commissioners authorize publication of title and general summary of the first five chapters of the draft code.
