Sustainable Land Development Code (SLDC) Update

On Tuesday, October 27, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the County to publish title and general summary of an ordinance to establish zoning for all land in Santa Fe County to which the Sustainable Land Development Code (SLDC) applies pursuant to Ordinance No. 2013-6 as amended. 

County residents should have received a letter (around November 2 in the mail) to give residents notice that their property has been assigned a base zoning classification by County staff. Santa Fe County currently has no comprehensive zoning. Attached is the proposed Santa Fe County Zoning Map Draft. The proposed zoning map will assign base zoning classifications for all properties in the County. Residents can also access an interactive zoning map to view their parcel by using the “Property Parcel Identification Number” listed at the top of their letter. The interactive zoning map and other resource materials can be found on the County’s website at www.santafecountynm.gov/sldc.

Santa Fe County staff will be available to assist property owners in identifying and discussing the base zoning classifications assigned. Large maps can be viewed at the County Planning Division Office, located at 102 Grant Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501.

The Board of County Commissioners will hold Public Hearings on the final adoption of the Zoning Map on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 5 p.m. and Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 5 p.m. The meetings will be held in the County Commission Chambers, 2nd Floor, 102 Grant Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501.
