Tell County Commissioners Your Thoughts on Development in Santa Fe County
From the New Mexico Environmental Law Center: The Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners (BCC) at their meeting on Tuesday, February 10th, will vote on the Interim Development Ordinance (IDO) proposed for Santa Fe County to establish a moratorium on new development for six months, with a six month extension option.
This moratorium is critical in order to allow communities the opportunity for input on an updated Santa Fe County General Plan. The General Plan update "will address affordable housing, economic development, sustainable development, alternative energy, natural and cultural resource protection, public facilities and services."
PLEASE ATTEND and LEND YOUR SUPPORT: The Meeting starts at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, February 10th; however, we were told by County Staff that the IDO matter would come up around 6:00 PM:
102 Grant Ave
Santa Fe, NM 87501-2061
(505) 986-6200
. Please note Agenda Item X.B. - a Resolution To Support an Act Recognizing the Inherent Authority of Municipalities and Counties To Regulate Oil and Gas Operations within their Jurisdictions
The Plan and The Galisteo Basin Oil & Gas Ordinance: This Plan is the broader framework for the Galisteo Basin Oil and Gas Ordinance, and essentially becomes the "constitution" for all future development activities:

We don't have the water.
We need to take care of our present population. I do not think that more growth is a priority in this economy. We need to put our own people to work. Contraction is coming in spades in this economic climate. We could try to have an intelligent contraction that benefits the citizens the most.
Let's concentrate on new ideas and stop building MORE and start building smarter. No more residential development, more retro-fitting, refurbishing and restoring.
Stop the sprawl.
Don't ruin Santa Fe anymore than it is.

Create jobs by hiring more snowplowers in the winter. When I was up there for two months in 2007, the road to my rental was a disaster. They finally did some plowing in March.
