Housing Plan Paused Near La Tierra Trails

Santa Fe County commissioners have paused a controversial 158-lot housing development near La Tierra trails, citing community concerns over traffic, density, and the loss of rural character. Residents fear the clustered design clashes with the area’s spacious, low-density vibe and question whether it aligns with the county’s mission to preserve open space. While the developer highlights affordable housing and updated zoning codes, opponents demand larger lot sizes—up to 2.5 acres per home—to maintain the neighborhood’s identity. The decision is now on hold until June 30th, as commissioners weigh growth against community values. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
