Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting June 16, 2026, @ 05:30 pm

The City of Socorro Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on June 16, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a public hearing and subsequent approval of a rezoning request for Lot 2, Block 1, Socorro Rehabilitation from C-2 general commercial to R-1 single family residential to allow construction of a residential dwelling. The commission approved the rezoning despite some questions about the property's sale status and future land use designation. Additionally, commissioners discussed the presence and impact of data centers and manufacturing facilities in the city, noting an existing ordinance regulating data centers that requires additional impact research. The meeting also included a report on the Border Highway East extension project, highlighting upcoming public engagement opportunities. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were made during this meeting.
