Santa Fe Land Development Code Update
A Guide to Phase 1 Survey


LDC SURVEY GUIDE - PDF VERSION
Save the Date:
Open House for the LDC Update
Monday, April 10, 6-8pm
Santa Fe Convention Center

https://www.santafeldcupdate.org/event
Please consider attending to participate in the code update process!

The City of Santa Fe is updating its Land Development Code (LDC), also known as Chapter 14, in the City's Code of Ordinances. They have hired a Denver consulting firm, Clarion, to assist with the code updates.

The Land Development Code governs land use in Santa Fe. This key document defines parameters for zoning and density, establishes processes for granting exceptions/variances to land use designations and zoning, outlines the historic districts, and sets design standards for historic preservation.

The LDC update has the potential to greatly impact how Santa Fe looks and feels in the future. The Old Santa Fe Association will provide input to the city and to the consultant to ensure that historic preservation concerns are recognized, respected and addressed.

Supporters of historic preservation are encouraged to fill out an initial survey as the update processes enters Phase 1, where the consulting group will do "code hygiene." Phase 1 will remove contradictions in the code and streamline some processes already in place. Updates to the code are necessary as Santa Fe grows, but it could also present a risk to some protections unless citizens are engaged and aware of the processes and changes.

The next meeting, a description of Phases and adding your email for notifications is on the city’s LDC update website.

Appeal moving forward on 2200 Old Pecos Trail rezoning decision
Residents of Santa Fe that opposed the recent rezoning of 2200 Old Pecos Trail (R-1 to R-3) are raising funds to appeal the decision by the Governing Body. The appeal position, in part, is that the city did not follow due process, nor the process to develop guidelines for future development for the Old Pecos Trail Scenic Corridor as laid out in two resolutions.
 
If you support the appeal, consider offering a donation through the GoFundMe page.
The GoFundMe link for donations and further information is: https://gofund.me/00f92d84
If any of you would prefer to donate by check, please contact Annie Campbell directly at 505-795-2827 or email her at: docanniecampbell@hotmail.com

The Old Santa Fe Association is the premier historic preservation organization of the southwestern United States of America. We were founded in 1926 by a group of like-minded residents, artists, writers and architects, in an attempt to protect the unique flavor, built environment and cultures of their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

As we approach our centennial as an organization we continue to be
guided by a volunteer board comprised once again
of artists, writers, architects and law professionals along with a diverse
representation of our special community.

The mission of the Old Santa Fe Association is to promote the prosperity and welfare of the City and County of Santa Fe and their inhabitants, to preserve and maintain the ancient landmarks, historical structures and traditions of Old Santa Fe and to guide their growth and development in such a way as to promote that unique charm and distinction: born of age, culture, tradition and environment, which are the priceless assets and
heritage of Santa Fe.

OSFA has been following the whole CHART process since it started, and as the City is moving into the next stage, it will be important to pay attention to how the Santa Fe Governing Body approaches the suggestions and recommendations which now require attention.

Follow updates to CHART on their website.

As the city site can be finicky at times, OSFA is hosting the large CHART report file here.
