QUALITY OF LIFE COMMITTEE

The City of Santa Fe Quality of Life Committee meeting on July 23, 2026, included presentations and discussions primarily focused on community engagement and land use planning. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the update of the Land Development Code (LDC), with consultant Matt Global outlining a phased, installment-based approach to revising the code. This approach aims to streamline processes, improve housing flexibility, and better coordinate with the ongoing General Plan update. The committee discussed forming multiple working groups and subcommittees to oversee different aspects of the code update, including technical, interdepartmental, planning commission, and preservation-focused groups. The meeting also touched on the importance of public outreach and community input in the process. Additionally, updates were provided on the Spur Business Grant evaluation process and ongoing efforts to support local businesses. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussions on land use and code updates could influence future procurement related to city planning and development projects.
