Development Review Committee Meeting - October 15, 2026

The Doña Ana County Development Review Committee met on October 15, 2026, and considered case SD25046, a modification request for the previously approved Vias at Picacho Mountain subdivision. The developer requested that sidewalks be omitted from residential streets, citing large lots, consistency with surrounding development, preservation of native landscape, and planned multi-use and bicycle paths. The discussion also addressed maintenance of the parkways, drainage, and ensuring property owners do not encroach into the right-of-way.

The committee approved a motion recommending the modification with two conditions: retain native materials in the parkways to the extent possible, and submit a modified grading plan to reviewing departments to ensure parkway grading ties into the back of curb and maintains intended drainage. The recommendation is for the Planning and Zoning Commission. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
