Town of Taos planner resigns amid council hostility
Taos Planning Director Lou Baker resigns effective January 26 and accepts a job with Santa Fe planning department. She cites persistent contentiousness between the Taos Town Council and planning staff, noting a December council vote to bypass staff and the Planning and Zoning Board on LUDC revisions. Baker will leave after the council approved revised bylaws January 4, with seven members on the revisions committee and direct reporting of recommendations to the council. The council had earlier reversed two planning board denial decisions on a Smiths gasoline station and a Roy and Morgan Roads open space appeal.
