We could look at this for the next year and we could come back to you with red lines for the entire document. of real life experiences that we've come up with in the past, right?

“And so like right now you mentioned land use and that was based off of maybe 2014. A lot of the stuff that we're doing right now and it was zoned before maybe prior to 2014. And so I look now at all the rezoning that come because we do a lot of rezoning, rezoning, rezoning, rezoning. And so I'm trying to think where the control is and it's land use that's specified on the master plan land use master plan and if it if somebody wants to come in and do something that's not we have to really ask ourselves and then that that has to go through planning and zoning it's a rezoning it's got to be…”

“Okay. Okay, so I won't speak for city council. I don't know. I'm just looking at the time that they have, right? All we do is planning and zoning. They look at planning and zoning and God knows what all other stuff that they look at, right? So I, you know, I'm sitting here wondering, yeah, that's, that's how it works.

“You know, if anything, I think that I would make, like if, If there's a motion to approve, I'd probably vote to approve. I understand what's going on. We've gotten into a deeper conversation. And I think I would make the effort to come here and voice my opinion as a citizen on that day for city council. Because I think that tabling at this point, another week, two weeks, I'm going to look at it. It's never going to be enough. Minimal. I think you guys have done your due diligence. Great job. It's not on you guys. I think it's on, you know, I take my responsibility. So I would make that effort…”

“Okay. In the letter from Ray Engineering, it says that the lot frontage question previously raised has been answered and that it's no longer It says that it's been resolved and it's not a part of this request. I'm referencing the 25.87 lot frontage. And so his letter says that it's been resolved. And so I think I caught something earlier in today's meeting about the minimum width and I just want to, it was regarding safety. and access for the minimum lot width for safety is 25 feet. Is that how it got resolved or what is he referring to when he says the lot frontage question previously raised…”

“So I want to say that this is a half acre lot approximately. There are a bunch of half acre lots throughout Socorro and especially in older subdivisions with existing structures on them. And so know what you're saying is the current ordinance doesn't address this but i think that panhandle lots should be there should be a minimum on the lot i would personally think that one acre is would be the minimum and so i'm hoping that it's addressed in the udc right uh and then i think it's very important that there should be a minimum frontage not minimum frontage but a minimum width for the lot uh…”
