Board of Adjustments Commission Meeting: 24 September 2026 @ 6:00 PM

The City of Socorro Board of Adjustments Commission held a meeting on September 24, 2026, primarily to consider variance requests related to zoning and land use. Key procurement-related discussions included a variance request to allow the continued placement and use of an existing semi-trailer box as an accessory storage structure at 531 Hoya Deva Drive, which was approved with the condition that the area around the box be maintained clear of debris and fire hazards. Another significant item was a variance request from Oregon Paso Partners to reduce the rear setback to zero feet and allow a building size exceeding the 3,000 square foot limit for a proposed gas station at Moon Road and North Loop Drive. Due to concerns about proximity to residential areas and potential nuisances, the board voted to table this item for further consideration and community input. The meeting also addressed procedural matters such as approval and amendment of meeting minutes and bylaws. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but the variance approvals and denials could impact future development and vendor opportunities in the city.
