Village of Bosque Farms

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Village of Bosque Farms provides planning strategies and policies to guide future development, ensuring consistency with citizen intent. The plan, created in 2023, is currently under review by Village staff, with upcoming workshops planned with the Governing Body and Zoning Commission to ensure it remains current and responsive to community needs and desires.

The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting included a review of previous minutes, action on property line adjustments for Sunflower Avenue, and consideration of an RV conditional use permit for Eldorado Loop. A public hearing was opened and closed for a fence variance on Pearl Loop, with a recommendation to be provided to the Village Council. Departmental reports were presented, and the commission discussed traffic issues on Mitchell and Morrison Drive, potential ordinance updates, and a contract renewal with UWS. The inspection of a property on Truchas Trail was requested, and updates were given on meetings with Prodigy builders and training for the Water & Wastewater crew. Tort claims filed in June and the installation of a sound modem on traffic lights were also discussed. Finally, properties that pulled permits in June and a proposed development on McNew Road were reviewed.

The Planning & Zoning Commission meeting included discussion regarding a violation and/or breach of the Conditional Use Permit and Re-Evaluation at 2290 Bosque Farms Blvd for Los Campa's Tire Shop, focusing on the failure to comply with permit conditions and the inability to complete the proposed mitigation plan due to funding and property shape constraints. The item was tabled for three months to allow the owner to make significant progress or propose a mitigation plan. Additionally, the monthly report was given.

The Planning & Zoning Commission meeting included discussions on potential changes to the sign ordinance, with the Chairwoman planning to consult the Council. The commission also discussed incorporating RV and boat storage land use into the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and expressed interest in reviewing ordinances from Taos and Ruidoso regarding Tiny Homes. Additionally, a brief monthly report was presented.

The Planning & Zoning Commission meeting included discussions on a request for a land split and a violation of a conditional use permit. The commission recommended approval of a land split request to the Governing Body. Regarding the conditional use permit violation, the commission decided to rescind a previous recommendation to revoke the permit and instead placed the permit on probation for one year, subject to regular inspections and compliance with specific conditions. The commission also received a monthly report.
