Historic Districts Review Board Hearing 06-23-2026

The Historic District Review Board of Santa Fe convened on June 23, 2026, to review multiple cases involving construction, remodeling, and additions within historic districts. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals and postponements of projects such as new residential additions, multi-family residences, garage constructions, and alterations to historic properties. Notably, a large multi-family project at 507 and 511 Paseo de Peralta was postponed to allow for redesign due to concerns about massing, style compatibility, and setbacks. The board also addressed exceptions related to removal of contributing retaining walls and additions exceeding historic footprints, with some exception requests denied. The meeting included motions to approve several projects with conditions, and a subcommittee was proposed to assist with complex redesigns. The board also discussed procedural matters regarding postponements and applicant rights. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting focused heavily on design approvals and compliance with historic district standards.
