SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 432 amends
statutes (Section 47-6-9 NMSA 1978) relating to the authority of a county
commission to regulate subdivision approval.
The bill allows the board of county commissioners of a class A county with a population over 500,000 to delegate its
review and approval of subdivision plans and plats to a county planning and
development review authority. The population
requirement restricts the bill to Bernalillo county.
Significant Issues
Bernalillo county
supports the bill. Currently, developers
must submit a preliminary plat through three levels of review, including
approval from the board of county commissioners. Next, developers must submit a final plat
through the same review process even if the plats have not changed. This lengthy process typically takes between
12 and 18 months. Passage of the bill
would provide for a more efficient review process without a loss of
oversight. A shortened approval time
could streamline economic development efforts and save money for both the developer
and the county.
