Motions Heard in Los Tres Valles Zoning Case In Albuquerque
The first hearing on motions in the case against Los Tres Valles Special Zoning District is set for April 16 at Bernalillo County Courthouse in Albuquerque. Judge Frank Allen will hear two suits against the district and Taos County commissioners, while Taos District Judges Caldwell and Karelitz have been disqualified. New York developers seek to subdivide 91 acres between Valdez and San Cristobal into four acre lots, aim to dissolve the district, strike down the governing statute, and compel Taos County to rule on Deer Mesa Estates. The district prohibits subdivisions this large within its boundaries. Zoning districts elsewhere in New Mexico have faced challenges, with no ruling on constitutionality yet. Critics argue unincorporated residents should not arbitrarily set zoning boundaries.

Trips by Herrera and Martinez to Washington and Hawaii drew Duran’s opposition and raised questions about travel costs and pending expenses.

Taos Could Gain $7 Million From Special Session Funds
Taos stands to receive more than 7 million dollars from the state legislature’s second session if the governor signs the capital outlay package. The 4.5 million would back a Taos civic cultural center, named for a Native American hero, with land ownership and planning funds also debated. Senator Gonzales defends the cultural center as a cultural project, while Gov. Anaya may veto the 4.5 million, citing not building civic centers for every town.
