SANTA FE IS STILL DEALING WITH A HOUSING CRUNCH, AND THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS TWO SEPARATE HOUSING PROPOSALS ARE AMONG ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THE SANTA FE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THOSE PROPOSALS HAVE GENERATED A LOT OF OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS AND ARE THE LATEST PLANS CREATING BATTLES BETWEEN DEVELOPERS AND SANTA FE CITIZENS.
THE SANTA FE PLANNING COMMISSION IN MARCH APPROVED A 49-HOME SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS ESTANCIAS DEL NORTE. IT WOULD BE LOCATED ON TOP OF A HILL, WITH HOMES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. PEOPLE LIVING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL SAY THEY’VE HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH RUNOFF. THE OTHER PROJECT IS FOR AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON AGUA FRIA ROAD.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S MEETING IS AT THE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS EXHIBIT HALL IN THE 32-HUNDRED BLOCK OF RODEO ROAD.
