The Community District is a zoning tool intended to preserve and protect unique communities and areas through the implementation of an adopted Community Plan that is consistent with the SGMP as set forth in Chapter 2. Santa Fe County is committed to preserving, protecting, enhancing, and perpetuate the value of these areas through the establishment of Community Districts. The Board, pursuant to Chapter 8, may establish Community District Overlay Zones (O-CD) that are consistent with the SGMP, an adopted Community Plan and any applicable County Land Use Plans.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
Chapter 8 sets forth the standards and procedures for establishment of a Community District Overlay Zone (O-CD) to implement the zoning-related provisions of an adopted Community Plan. With the adoption of the SLDC, local communities are encouraged to revise their Community Plans to be consistent with the SGMP and this ordinance, and to propose appropriate overlay zoning regulations to establish an O-CD in accordance with Chapter 8. Upon the establishment of an O-CD for any given Community District, the regulations of the applicable O-CD will be inserted into this section and become part of the SLDC.
9.2.1 
Adoption of Community District’s Overlay Zone.
This community district overlay zone shall be established upon adoption by the BCC of an overlay zone ordinance specific to this community district which includes adoption of base zoning set forth in an attached map.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.3.1 
General Provisions.
The regulations, standards and provisions described herein are specific to each community district’s overlay zone. Where conflict arises between SLDC regulations and the community district standards and provisions, the district’s standards and provisions shall prevail. However, when the district’s standards are silent on an issue that would otherwise be governed by the SLDC or other applicable County codes, the SLDC or those other codes shall prevail.
9.3.2 
Use Matrix.
Community Districts in Chapter 9 of the SLDC include community-specific Use Tables that shall prevail over any uses set forth in the Appendix B Use Matrix[1] for that community. Where a community district overlay has established a Use Table that Use Table shall prevail. Where a community district overlay has not established a Use Table, the SLDC Use Matrix other than exceptions identified by the community district overlay shall prevail.
[1]
Appendix B is included as an attachment to this exhibit.
9.3.3 
Effect on Zoning Map.
As stated in Chapter 8 of this Code, an approved overlay community district does not replace the underlying zoning of the area. Instead, it allows for a modification of the regulations of the underlying zoning district to accommodate unique conditions that do not fit the base zoning district.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.4.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the Los Cerrillos Community District (LCCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the Los Cerrillos Community Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The LCCD is designed to ensure compatibility among various land uses, encourage cluster development, protect cultural, historical and scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas, enhance rural Los Cerrillos development patterns, support a variety of lifestyles, delineate historic community spaces and conserve water resources while accommodating the anticipated natural growth of the community. Provisions include standards, dimensions and incentives to encourage cluster development in conjunction with conservation easements that preserve agricultural land and open space, preserve authentic rural village values, atmosphere, peace and quiet, village’s dirt or base course roads, and encourages economic activity that reinvests into the community.

Permitted Use: The letter “P” indicates that the listed use is permitted by right within the zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of the SLDC.
A
Accessory Use: The letter “A” indicates that the listed use is permitted only where it is accessory to a use that is permitted or conditionally approved for that district. Accessory uses shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same tract or lot as the principal use.
C
Conditional Use: The letter “C” indicates that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 4.
DCI
Development of Countywide Impact: The letters “DCI” indicate that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval as a Development of Countywide Impact.
X
Prohibited Use: The letter “X” indicates that the use is not permitted within the district.
The Use Matrix also includes Function, Activity and Structure Codes in accordance with the Land Based Classification System.
Uses not specifically enumerated. When a proposed use is not specifically listed in the use matrix, the Administrator may determine that the use is materially similar to a listed use if:
The proposed use is listed as within the same structure or function classification as the use specifically enumerated in the use matrix as determined by the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of the American Planning Association (APA); or
If the use cannot be located within one of the LBCS classifications, the Administrator shall refer to the most recent manual of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The proposed use shall be considered materially similar if it falls within the same industry classification of the NAICS manual. A proposed use shall be treated in the same manner as the listed use to which it is materially similar. For example, if the proposed use is materially similar to a permitted use, this proposed use shall also be a permitted use.

9.5.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the Tesuque Community District (TCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the Tesuque Community Plan adopted by Resolution 2022-072 and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The 2022 Tesuque Community Plan articulates the future direction for the community and expresses preferences for design standards, uses, locations and intensity of development in order to protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas and accommodate the anticipated natural growth of the community.
9.5.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.5.2.1 
Fences and Walls.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Intent.
In order to maintain safety, privacy, and security, as well as preserving the rural character of the Tesuque Traditional Historic Community, the area of Bishops Lodge Road north of the Santa Fe City boundary and Tesuque Village Road to the Tesuque Pueblo boundary, fencing and walls in this area shall be built to reflect historic design patterns. Fencing in this area has historically been short, open fencing for farming and grazing management which created the sense of a small rural agricultural community.
2. 
Definitions.
The following terms are defined for this Overlay.

Incapable of transmitting light (SLDC Appendix A).
Semi-Opaque.
Capable of transmitting up to 50% of light or up to 50% visually transparent.
Transparent.
Capable of transmitting more than 50% of light or more than 50% visually transparent.
3. 
Permit Requirements.
A permit is required to construct any fence or wall within 25 feet of the Centerline of Bishops Lodge Road or 37 feet of the Centerline of Tesuque Village Road in accordance the provisions outlined in Subsections 4a and 4b of this Section.
4. 
Location and Height.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
a. 
Fences and walls fronting or running parallel to Tesuque Village Road from the north boundaries of the Rural Commercial Overlay A and extending north to the boundary with Tesuque Pueblo must meet the following fence and wall design standards:
i. 
The maximum height of walls or fences shall not exceed six feet subject to the standards outlined in this section.
ii. 
Any Opaque or Semi-Opaque fence or wall excluding fences or walls for Community Facilities, must be set back from the Centerline of Tesuque Village Road by at least 37 feet.
b. 
Fences and walls fronting or parallel to Bishops Lodge Road (excluding Community Facilities and properties within Commercial Overlay A) must meet the following fence and wall design standards:
i. 
Minimum Setback.
No fence, wall, or other structure may be built within fifteen feet of the Centerline of Bishops Lodge Road.
ii. 
Any Opaque or Semi-Opaque fence or wall fronting or running parallel to Bishops Lodge Road must meet the following standards:
(a) 
A maximum height of four feet between 15 and 20 feet from Centerline of Bishop's Lodge Road;
(b) 
A maximum height of five feet between 20 and 25 feet from Centerline of Bishop's Lodge Road; or
(c) 
A maximum height of six feet if 25 feet or more from the Centerline of Bishop's Lodge Road.
(d) 
Height and Setback Exception Permitted.
When an existing habitable structure, or portion thereof, is situated within 25 feet of the nearest edge of the asphalt, an Opaque fence or wall not to exceed 5 feet in height may be placed between 5 and 15 feet of the nearest edge of the asphalt.
iii. 
Transparent Height Extensions Permitted.
An Opaque or Semi-Opaque wall or fence constructed to the permitted height, may include a transparent extension for a total wall height not to exceed 6 feet.
c. 
Where a property-line fence/wall intrudes into an applicable setback, the applicable fence/wall-height limitations described in Subsections 4a and 4b apply.
5. 
Fencing Materials and Design.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
a. 
Fence and wall materials may not include glass, plastic, or polycarbonate type materials, except as incidental ornamentation.

d. 
All walls shall be colored in tones consistent with shades historically used in Tesuque, including earth tones, brown, tan, or white.
6. 
Existing Legally Constructed Fences and Walls.
Legally constructed fences and walls in existence at the time that these provisions become effective shall be deemed pre-existing, legal, nonconforming structures. Such existing fences and walls shall not be considered in violation of these regulations and may be repaired or replaced by the owner to their existing setback, height, materials, and opacity.

Terrain Management.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Steep Slopes and Ridges.
These standards apply to all new structures and additions to existing structures located on development sites where any portion of the development site has a natural slope prior to development of 15% or greater, and on ridgetops.
a. 
Exterior walls, facades and roof shall be darker shades of the natural earth tones (such as tan, brown) of the soils on the building site. Tones of grey, green and white are prohibited for exterior building colors.
b. 
Roof colors and all wall and facade colors visible from adjacent properties or from U.S. 84/285, CR 73 and CR 73A shall be muted and of nonreflective or nonglossy materials with a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of less than forty pursuant to manufacturer's specifications. When such data is unavailable, compliance will be determined by a comparison of samples for which data is available.
c. 
Windows and door glazing shall be limited to no more than 30% of a facade and shall be nonmirrored and the LRV shall be less than 20, except:
i. 
Glazing shall be limited to no more than 50% under portals of 8 feet or deeper. This Subsection shall not apply to glazing on a south-facing facade where incorporated into a documented design solar heating application equivalent to one for which the annual "Solar Saving Fraction (SSF)" exceeds 60%.
2. 
Height on Steep Slopes and Ridges.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
a. 
Structure heights on slopes greater than 15%.
Structure heights are limited to 18 feet. The distance between the highest point of the structure and the lowest point at the natural grade or finished cut shall not exceed 18 feet.

In order to protect the Little Tesuque and Big Tesuque rivers from siltation and contaminants, drainage from all land uses which may discharge runoff containing high nitrogen content or other contaminants, such as stables or kennels, shall be retained in ponds which must be set back a minimum of 25 feet from the natural edge of the river or FEMA designated floodplain, whichever is closer. Retention ponds shall be cleaned regularly to maintain their planned capacity and shall be incorporated into the landscaping to maintain the integrity of aesthetics for the site.
4. 
Landscaping.
These standards apply to all new structures and additions to existing structures located on development sites where any portion of the land has a natural slope prior to development of 15% or greater, and on ridgetops.
a. 
Indigenous evergreen trees at least 5 feet tall and approximating the original density and type existing on the site prior to disturbance shall be used for screening and buffering of structures and cuts and fills, where required, in order to maintain yearround screening.
b. 
Cut slopes with a slope or retaining wall closer than 6 feet from the edge of a road or driveway, where the planting area for trees is limited, may be screened with a trellis supporting planted vegetation or some other similar means which creates a natural screened effect.

Accessory uses may be subject to specific regulations as provided in Chapter 10, and conditional uses are subject to the conditional use permit standards provided in Chapter 4. In addition, uses may be subject to modification by the overlay zoning regulations included in this chapter.
Table 9-6-7: Use Table Labels
P
Permitted Use: The letter “P” indicates that the listed use is permitted by right within the zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of the SLDC.
A
Accessory Use: The letter “A” indicates that the listed use is permitted only where it is accessory to a use that is permitted or conditionally approved for that district. Accessory uses shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same tract or lot as the principal use.
C
Conditional Use: The letter “C” indicates that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 4.
DCI
Development of Countywide Impact: The letters “DCI” indicate that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval as a Development of Countywide Impact.
X
Prohibited Use: The letter “X” indicates that the use is not permitted within the district.
The Use Matrix also includes Function, Activity and Structure Codes in accordance with the Land Based Classification System.
Uses not specifically enumerated. When a proposed use is not specifically listed in the use matrix, the Administrator may determine that the use is materially similar to a listed use if:
The proposed use is listed as within the same structure or function classification as the use specifically enumerated in the use matrix as determined by the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of the American Planning Association (APA).; or
If the use cannot be located within one of the LBCS classifications, the Administrator shall refer to the most recent manual of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The proposed use shall be considered materially similar if it falls within the same industry classification of the NAICS manual. A proposed use shall be treated in the same manner as the listed use to which it is materially similar. For example, if the proposed use is materially similar to a permitted use, this proposed use shall also be a permitted use.

(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.8.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the La Cienega and La Cieneguilla Community District Overlay (LCLCCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the La Cienega and La Cieneguilla Community Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The LCLCCD is designed to ensure compatibility among various land uses, encourage compact development, protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas, enhance rural development patterns, accommodate a variety of lifestyles, delineate historic community spaces and conserve water resources while accommodating the anticipated natural growth of the community. The LCLCCD includes standards and dimensions based on historic development patterns and incentives to facilitate compact development where appropriate in conjunction with conservation easements that preserve agricultural land and open space.
9.8.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.8.2.1 
Water Supply, Wastewater and Water Conservation. Standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Residential Connection to County Utility Water System.
a. 
All new lots created as part of residential land divisions and subdivisions shall be required to connect to the Santa Fe County Water System when said system is extended to within 200 feet of the property line of a lot, unless that lot has previously connected to a community water system, provided that adequate capacity exists in the system and that water taps are available. This requirement will be applied with the following conditions:
i. 
If the water system is already in place and capable of providing service or if the County can provide an estimated time of completion of six (6) months or less, connection to the system will be required immediately upon the time of service capability within the system. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat, and the property owner shall agree to bonding or financial guarantee to ensure connection within six (6) months, prior to final approval.
ii. 
If the County cannot provide an estimated time for water line completion and capacity for service of six (6) months or less, the new land division will be granted a 2-year grace period from the time the water line is actually installed and taps are available before the agreement to connect to the system will be effective. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat prior to final approval.
iii. 
If connection to a county or community water system is not possible at the time of land division for new residential development of two or more lots of 2.5 acres or less, all lots will be required to use shared wells where new lots are adjoining, providing adequate water is available for both lots. The requirement to connect to the County or community water system will still be in effect and the property owners will be granted a 2-year grace period from the time the water line is actually installed and has adequate capacity, before the connection to the system will be required. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat prior to final approval.
2. 
Nonresidential Connection to County Utility Water System.
a. 
All new nonresidential development shall be required to connect to the Santa Fe County Water System when said system is extended to within 200 feet of the property line, unless the development has previously connected to a community water system, provided that adequate capacity exists in the system and that water taps are available.
i. 
If connection to the County water system is not possible, the development must limit water consumption to .35 acre-feet per year.
(a) 
If the water system is already in place and capable of providing service or if the County can provide an estimated time of completion of six (6) months or less, connection to the system will be required immediately upon the time of service capability within the system. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat and the property owner shall agree to bonding or financial guarantee to ensure connection within six (6) months prior to final approval.
(b) 
If the County cannot provide an estimated time for water line completion and capacity for service of six (6) months or less, the new land division will be granted a 2-year grace period from the time the water line is actually installed and taps are available before connection to the system will be required. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat prior to final approval.
9.8.2.2 
Terrain Management.
Standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Special Protection of Riparian Areas.
Development Standards in Riparian Buffers. The standards and criteria of Chapter 7 of this Code shall apply to any portion of a development or, as appropriate, to any land disturbance within a riparian buffer with the following exceptions:
2. 
Intent.
The restoration and enhancement of riparian areas and wetlands in the Planning Area is recognized as a potentially valuable resource management practice, so long as such projects are designed and implemented to maximize benefits to the ecosystem and water resources while avoiding harm to the health, safety and welfare of residents, including but not limited to loss of private property and public infrastructure. Therefore, all projects which propose restoration, enhancement and/or new construction of riparian areas or wetlands must demonstrate that the project will have a beneficial or neutral impact on existing water resources. No project shall be permitted that negatively impacts existing water rights.
3. 
Agriculture as defined in this Code is permitted within Riparian Corridors.

9.8.3 
Establishment of Zoning Districts.
The zoning standards of Chapter 8 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.8.3.1 
Generally.
The LCLCCD modifies the underlying base zoning districts in order to address special siting, use, and compatibility issues requiring regulations that supplement or supplant those found in the base zoning districts of this Code. If an overlay zone regulation conflicts with any standard of the underlying zone, the standard of the overlay zone shall govern.
9.8.3.2 
Density Requirements on Lots with Multiple Zoning Designations.
If a single land parcel and/or subdivision lies within two separate zoning districts, the density of dwelling units per acre shall be calculated based upon the exact proportion of each district in which the parcel lies.

1. 
LCLCCD Agriculture/Ranching (LCLCCD A/R); Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to designate areas suitable for agricultural, ranching and residential uses, and to prevent encroachment of incompatible uses and the premature conversion of agricultural and ranch lands to nonagricultural uses. Uses in the A/R district are limited to agricultural, ranch, residential and other compatible uses. This designation reflects areas whose present use is agricultural, such as grazing or dry land farming. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a. 
Use Regulations.
Uses permitted, conditional and prohibited as identified in Chapter 8 and Appendix B of this Code with exceptions identified on LCLCCD Use Table [Table 9.8.15].

ii. 
The rear and sides of the buildings shall be set back a minimum of 50 feet from the property line.
iii. 
In cases where setback requirements would prohibit development of a lot, the Administrator may approve setback requirements in accordance with Section 7.3 of this SLDC.
2. 
LCLCCD Rural Fringe (LCLCCD RUR-F); Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to designate areas suitable for a combination of estate-type residential development, agricultural uses and other compatible uses. The RUR-F designation provides an intermediate step in development density between typical open space and agricultural/ranching lands and primarily residential (low density) parcels. This zone also serves to protect agricultural and environmental areas that are inappropriate for more intense development due to their sensitivity. The RUR-F zone accommodates primarily large lot residential, ecotourism, equestrian uses and renewable resource-based activities, seeking a balance between conservation, environmental protection and reasonable opportunity for development. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a. 
Use Regulations.
Uses permitted, conditional and prohibited as identified in Chapter 8 and Appendix B of this Code with exceptions identified on LCLCCD Use Table [Table 9.8.15].

iii. 
In cases where setback requirements would prohibit development of a lot, the Administrator may approve setback requirements in accordance with Section 7.3 of this SLDC.
3. 
LCLCCD Rural Residential (LCLCCD RUR-R); Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to provide for the development of single-family homes on large lots, either individually or as part of rural subdivisions; to preserve the scenic and rural character of the County; to provide consolidated open space and agricultural lands; and to recognize the desirability of carrying on compatible agricultural operations and home developments in areas near the fringes of urban development while avoiding unreasonable restrictions on farming or ranching operations. Uses that support rural character of the broader area shall be allowed including agricultural production, small-scale renewable energy production, home-based businesses, bed and breakfasts, agro-tourism, equestrian and boarding facilities, farmers’ markets and produce stands. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a.

4. 
LCLCCD Residential Fringe (LCLCCD RES-F); Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to designate areas suitable for a combination of estate-type residential development, smaller-scale agricultural uses, ranchettes and other compatible uses. The RES-F district provides an intermediate step in single-family residential development between open space and/or agricultural/ranching lands, and typically suburban residential densities. The RES-F district may be comprised of a variety of residential lot sizes, clustered housing and community open space and can include limited agricultural use accessory to residential uses. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a.

5. 
LCLCCD Residential Estate (LCLCCD RES-E); Purpose.
The purpose of the Residential Estate (RES-E) district is to designate areas suitable for a combination of large-lot and suburban-type residential development, ranchettes and other compatible uses. The RES-E district supports single-family homes on medium sized lots consistent with contemporary community development. Generally this district applies to low to medium density residential development in established neighborhoods (lands that are already committed to residential uses and have been subdivided for a specific development) and undeveloped or underdeveloped areas with a moderate to high development suitability. This category may include limited agricultural use accessory to residential uses. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a.

10. 
LCLCCD PDD (Planned Development District); Purpose.
PDDs identified on the initial zoning map may be built out in accordance with their approved master plans including density and uses.
9.8.3.7 
Density Transfers.
1. 
Density transfers should be used to protect community assets including but not limited to wetlands, open spaces, springs, watercourses, riparian areas, agricultural land, acequias, traditional community centers, archaeological sites, historical and cultural sites, and multigenerational family compounds. When density transfers result in higher site densities, such development shall be clustered and sited in a manner to fit the topography, and existing rural character of La Cienega and La Cieneguilla, instead of in an urban grid pattern. A land density transfer program allows the transfer of all or part of the permitted density on a parcel to another parcel or other locations on the same parcel. This may include concepts such as family compounds or density transfers to protect agricultural, open space or other land protection or preferred development patterns.
a. 
Open Space Land Protection through Density Transfers or other types of Easements.
Open spaces set aside for density transfer or other easements for the protection of community assets, as described above, should interconnect to similar sites or potential sites on adjacent properties whenever possible. Easements shall clearly delineate the open space areas and no build areas as well as document any permitted uses in such areas.
b. 
Lot Coverage Calculations on Density Transfers or other types of Perpetual Easements.
Whenever density transfer is used to create open space which is protected in perpetuity by easement or other legal means, and new lots are created, lot coverage shall be calculated based on the total acreage of the project rather than for each individual development lot and shall be apportioned to the density transfer lots by means of building envelopes on the approved final plat.
9.8.4 
Supplemental Zoning Standards.
Standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 10 of this Code with the following exceptions:
9.8.4.1

Purpose.
The purpose of the LCLCCD-TDROD is for the conservation of natural, scenic, and/or agricultural qualities of open land, areas of special character or specific historic, cultural or aesthetic interest or value, or environmental protection such as watershed, steep slopes, floodplains, etc. TDRs as described in Chapter 12 of this Code are voluntary. Below is a list of the initial sending and receiving areas as identified in the La Cienega and La Cieneguilla 2015 Plan Update, this list is not exhaustive and other properties are eligible to become sending or receiving areas if the requirements listed in Chapter 12 are met.
9.8.5.2 
Transfer of Development Rights Standards.
The Transfer of Development Rights standards of Chapter 12 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
1. 
Applicability.
An individual parcel and parcels zoned as a PDD cannot be both a sending and receiving area. An area can be identified as either a sending or receiving area, but can only choose one TDR designation.
2. 
Increased Units Allowed per TDR in LCLCCD.
In LCLCCD there is an added incentive in buying and using TDRs in the Planning Boundary. Table 9.8.13 [9-8-13] outlines the increased units allowed by using a TDR throughout the County and in LCLCCD.
a. 
In the LCLCCD TDRs can have additional units if the TDR is purchased and used within the LCLCCD Planning Boundary.
b. 
TDRs purchased outside of the LCLCCD and used within the LCLCCD will have the general County additional unit increase.
c. 
TDRs purchased within the LCLCCD and used outside of the LCLCCD will have the general County additional unit increase.

In addition, uses may be subject to modification by the overlay zoning regulations included in this chapter.
Table 9-8-14: Use Table Labels
P
Permitted Use: The letter “P” indicates that the listed use is permitted by right within the zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of the SLDC.
A
Accessory Use: The letter “A” indicates that the listed use is permitted only where it is accessory to a use that is permitted or conditionally approved for that district. Accessory uses shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same tract or lot as the principal use.
C
Conditional Use: The letter “C” indicates that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 4.
DCI
Development of Countywide Impact: The letters “DCI” indicate that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval as a Development of Countywide Impact.
X
Prohibited Use: The letter “X” indicates that the use is not permitted within the district.
The Use Matrix also includes Function, Activity and Structure Codes in accordance with the Land Based Classification System.
Uses not specifically enumerated. When a proposed use is not specifically listed in the use matrix, the Administrator may determine that the use is materially similar to a listed use if:
The proposed use is listed as within the same structure or function classification as the use specifically enumerated in the use matrix as determined by the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of the American Planning Association (APA).; or
If the use cannot be located within one of the LBCS classifications, the Administrator shall refer to the most recent manual of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The proposed use shall be considered materially similar if it falls within the same industry classification of the NAICS manual. A proposed use shall be treated in the same manner as the listed use to which it is materially similar. For example, if the proposed use is materially similar to a permitted use, this proposed use shall also be a permitted use.

Notes:
*Subject to inclusion in approved list of uses that is part of the site plan for the Mixed Use and Planned Development District.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.9.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the El Valle de Arroyo Seco Highway Corridor Community District Overlay (ASHCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the El Valle de Arroyo Seco Highway Corridor Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The ASHCD is designed to ensure compatibility among various land uses, encourage compact development, protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas, enhance rural development patterns, accommodate a variety of lifestyles, delineate historic community spaces and conserve water resources while accommodating the anticipated natural growth of the corridor. The ASHCD includes standards and dimensions based on historic development patterns and incentives to facilitate compact development where appropriate.
9.9.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.9.2.1 
Water Supply, Wastewater and Water Conservation.
1. 
Intent/Purpose.
The intent of the water supply, conservation and wastewater provisions is to ensure a sustainable water supply and to ensure new development will not impair senior water rights, existing domestic wells, stream and spring flows and water quality.
a. 
Required Connection to Public or Publicly-Regulated Private Water Utility.
Connection to Public or Publicly-Regulated Private Water Utility is required for all nonresidential development applications permitted after the date of this ordinance as specified below:
i. 
Nonresidential Water Use.
All new nonresidential development shall connect to a community water system when the utility becomes ready, willing and able to supply the development.
(a) 
If connection to a water system is not possible, the new nonresidential development shall limit water consumption to .35 acre-feet water per year. This water consumption requirement applies only to use of water for nonresidential purposes from domestic wells as defined by the state and does not apply to any other water rights (irrigation or private).
(b) 
If the community water system is already in place and capable of providing service or if a water system is expected to become operational within six (6) months or less, connection to the system will be required immediately upon the time of service capability within the system. The requirement for connection shall be duly noted on the survey plat and the property owner shall agree to submit a financial guarantee to ensure connection within six (6) months prior to final approval.
9.9.2.2 
Signs.

(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.11.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the Tres Arroyos del Poniente Community District (TAPCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the Tres Arroyos del Poniente (TAP) Community Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The TAPCD is designed to implement the TAP Community Plan to ensure compatibility among various land uses, of the TAP community.
9.11.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.11.2.1 
Setback from NM 599.
There shall be a 250-foot setback from the NM 599 Highway right-of-way. If an existing legal parcel is unable to meet the setback requirements, the third of the parcel furthest away from NM 599 can be built upon.
9.11.2.2 
Open Space Standards.
Open Space standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Any proposed subdivision or land division shall preserve no less than thirty percent (30%) of the entire tract as permanent open space.
2. 
The following property types along with those listed in Chapter 7 of the of this Code may be considered open space for the purpose of meeting the thirty percent (30%) open space requirement:
a. 
Major arroyos or other open space mapped on the TAP Plan map;
b. 
Common or Public Parks and Plazas;
c. 
Trails allowing public access and connecting to the TAP Trail system;
d. 
Public trailheads;
e. 
Archeological easements;
f. 
Setbacks required for NM 599; and
g. 
Private open space may be counted if it is physically contiguous or separated only by road or trail features from adjacent open space and meets the open space standards.
3. 
Perimeter setbacks on properties may not be used as open space unless the area meets a standard above, or a buffer is needed for adjacent properties.
4. 
The permanent open space may be dedicated to the public or to an open space land trust or other nonprofit management entity or for common use to a homeowners’ association as an open space easement.
5. 
The permanent open space shall restricted from further development, except where due to terrain or soil constraints, easements to accommodate liquid waste disposal or drainage may be created in the open space.
6. 
Open space shall be designed in a manner that creates contiguous or continuous natural areas rather than scattered small locations within a development.
7. 
Where applicable, open space must be integrated into the trail system within the TAP and shall be identified on the Official Map.
8. 
Open spaces set aside as a result of density clustering or easements for protection of arroyos or trail corridors shall interconnect to open space sites or potential sites on adjacent properties, as practicable.
9. 
Open space dedications shall be used to preserve distinctive natural features such as vistas, arroyos, significant rock outcroppings, large trees, and identified wildlife corridors wherever possible.
10. 
Native vegetation shall be preserved within open space areas unless the County approves a developed park or playfield. Invasive species and noxious weeds may be removed to preserve native species.
11. 
To minimize motorized access public and private dedicated open space lands shall not be enclosed by fences, walls or other structures except for wire or other open fencing to contain livestock and delineate trail easements.
12. 
Trails.
Trails shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 7 of this Code with the following exceptions:
a. 
New developments must provide trails and trail connections as shown on the Roads and Trails Map and shall be included on the Official Map Series - Map 5. A major objective of trail placement shall be to foster interconnections and a network that allows both east-west and north-south passage through and within the TAP.
b. 
Applicants are encouraged, which shall be considered a best practice, to contact the County Open Space staff early in the project planning stage to discuss trail location, system connectivity and other requirements.
c. 
The non-motorized trail system will provide pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians alternative transportation choices and expanded recreation opportunities to connect the dispersed neighborhoods within the TAP. The trail system will be on the SLDC Official Map Series - Map 5.
d. 
Trail access for pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians may be separated or provided by parallel trails as long as there is equivalent connectivity in the network for all users. Trails should generally be spaced one-half mile apart or less.
e. 
County policies support the implementation of a Countywide trails program. In certain instances segments of these trails are located in or along roadway corridors and fulfill the multi-modal needs along the roadway network. Most trails will be off-road facilities for user safety and aesthetics.
f. 
New developments must provide trails and trail connections as shown on the Roads and Trails Map and shall be included on the Official Map Series - Map 5. A major objective of trail placement shall be to foster interconnections and a network that allows both east-west and north-south passage through and within the TAP.
g. 
Trails or sidewalks shall accompany all arterial, minor arterial, collector, and subcollector roads. Where road design speeds exceed 25 mph, trails shall be off-road. An internal trail system within subdivisions for pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians that provides equivalent connectivity and user safety may be used to meet this requirement.
h. 
Off-road trails and paths within the road right-of-way or a trail easement that parallels the road right-of-way shall be separated a minimum of four feet from the edge of the roadway. This separation shall be created with natural material and shall not be a solid barrier.
i. 
New development shall not block access to the trail system shown on the Official Map Series - Map 5. Wherever possible, access to the trail system shall be accomplished by providing off-road facilities.
j. 
Equestrian trails are an integral part of the trail system. They shall be identified on the Site Development Plan submittal or plat and added to the Official Map Series - Map 5. Equestrian trails should be separate from bicycle trails. Pedestrian and equestrian trails may be combined within a single easement if sufficient tread width and user separation is provided.

Notes:
*Subject to inclusion in approved list of uses that is part of the site plan for the Mixed Use and Planned Development District.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.13.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the Pojoaque Valley Community District Overlay (PVCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives and policies of the Pojoaque Valley Community Strategic Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The PVCD is designed to preserve the rural character, history and culture of the Pojoaque Valley, to help manage growth, maintain sustainable water and wastewater, preserve a high quality of life, protect and strengthen relationships between neighbors, and accommodate a variety of lifestyles and meet future needs. The rural character of the valley includes a mixture of uses including agricultural, residential and nonresidential uses.
9.13.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.13.3 
Establishment of Zoning Districts.
The development standards of Chapter 8 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.13.3.1 
Generally.
The PVCD Overlay modifies the underlying base zoning districts in order to address special siting, use, and compatibility issues requiring regulations that supplement or supplant those found in the underlying zoning districts. If an overlay zone regulation conflicts with any standard of this Code, the standard of this overlay zone shall govern.
9.13.3.2 
Base Zoning Districts.
Base zoning districts approved for use in the PVCD are listed in Table 9-13-1:

PVCD Traditional Community (PVCD TC); Purpose.
This district designates areas suitable for residential, small-scale commercial and traditional agricultural uses consistent with the existing development patterns of the Pojoaque Valley traditional communities. The TC district accommodates traditional community patterns, preserves historic and cultural landscapes, and protects agricultural uses, including agriculture served by acequia systems, from encroachment by development. Density bonuses and transfers of development rights may be utilized to achieve the purposes of the district. Density transfers and clustered development shall be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.
a. 
Use Regulations.
Uses permitted, conditional and prohibited as identified in Chapter 8 and Appendix B of this Code with exceptions identified on PVCD Use Table [Table 9.13.6].

9.13.4 
PVCD Overlay Zones.
9.13.4.1 
PVCD Rural Commercial Overlay (PVCD O-RC); Purpose.
The Rural Commercial Overlay allows for nonresidential development in the O-RC which shall be compatible with existing land use patterns, existing residential areas, land ownership characteristics, and geographic features near the property. The Rural Commercial Overlay is intended to support the needs of the community and to retain the predominantly residential character of the Village. Commercial uses that are small in scale are appropriate within this overlay zone in order to support the development of the village as a mix of residential and commercial. Commercial development should support local employment and provide local services which do not disrupt the quiet of the Village and promote self-sufficiency for the community.
1. 
Location.
Boundaries of the O-RC are shown on the Official Zoning Map. There are three subdistricts within the PVTCD [PVCD] O-RC: Area A Jacona, Area B Pojoaque and Area C Cuyamungue. The three areas are described as follows:
a. 
Area A Jacona O-RC.
This area is located on NM 502 and consists of areas that lie 500 feet from the right-of-way, into the properties adjacent to NM 502. Two parcels south of NM 502 and north of the Pojoaque Valley School District at the Jacona Campus, and one parcel north of NM 502.
b. 
Area B Pojoaque O-RC.
This area follows property lines of specific parcels east and west of U.S. 84/285 between NM 503 intersection and CR 109 (North Shining Sun Road). Properties included in this area are those parcels with direct access to U.S. 84/285 from Old Pueblito Road, and the parcels located off the frontage road with access on Grazing Elk Drive. Also included are those parcels located east of the U.S. 84/285 frontage road adjacent to Camino Trujillo.
c. 
Area C Cuyamungue O-RC.
This area is located off the frontage road on the west side of U.S. 84/285 in the northern area of Cuyamungue.
2. 
Permitted Uses.

The SMCD supports and accommodates agricultural and artistic businesses that do not cause a detriment to the rural residential nature of the community. Appropriate uses include artist studios, agriculture, and ranching with equestrian uses based on established land use patterns. The SMCD is designed to implement the San Marcos Community Plan to ensure compatibility among various land uses, in the San Marcos community.

In addition, uses may be subject to modification by the overlay zoning regulations included in this chapter.
Table 9-14-8: Use Table Labels
P
Permitted Use: The letter "P" indicates that the listed use is permitted by right within the zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of the SL DC.
A
Accessory Use: The letter "A" indicates that the listed use is permitted only where it is accessory to a use that is permitted or conditionally approved for that district. Accessory uses shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same tract or lot as the principal use.
C
Conditional Use: The letter "C" indicates that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 4.
DCI
Development of Countywide Impact: The letters "DCI" indicate that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval as a Development of Countywide Impact.
X
Prohibited Use: The letter "X" indicates that the use is not permitted within the district.
The Use Matrix also includes Function, Activity and Structure Codes in accordance with the Land Based Classification System.
Uses not specifically enumerated. When a proposed use is not specifically listed in the use matrix, the Administrator may determine that the use is materially similar to a listed use if:
The proposed use is listed as within the same structure or function classification as the use specifically enumerated in the use matrix as determined by the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of the American Planning Association (APA).; or
If the use cannot be located within one of the LBCS classifications, the Administrator shall refer to the most recent manual of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The proposed use shall be considered materially similar if it falls within the same industry classification of the NAICS manual. A proposed use shall be treated in the same manner as the listed use to which it is materially similar. For example, if the proposed use is materially similar to a permitted use, this proposed use shall also be a permitted use.

Notes:
*Subject to inclusion in approved list of uses that is part of the site plan for the Mixed Use and Planned Development District.
(Ordinance 2016-9 adopted 12/13/16; Ordinance 2021-03 adopted 7/30/21)
9.16.1 
Purpose and Intent.
The provisions of the Chimayo Community District (ChCD) are intended to implement and be consistent with the land use goals, objectives, policies, and strategies of the Chimayo Community Plan and the Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP). The ChCD is designed to ensure compatibility among various land uses, encourage compact development, support the agricultural nature of the community, protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas, enhance rural development patterns, accommodate a variety of lifestyles, delineate historic community spaces, conserve water resources and accommodate the natural growth of the community.
9.16.2 
Sustainable Design Standards.
The development standards of Chapter 7 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.16.2.1 
Second-story areas of flat roofed structures shall be a maximum of 65% of the ground floor footprint.
9.16.2.2 
Density Transfers; Purpose.
Density transfers shall be used to protect community assets including but not limited to wetlands, open spaces, springs, watercourses, riparian areas, agricultural land, acequias, traditional community centers, archaeological sites, historical and cultural sites, and multigenerational family compounds. When density transfers result in higher site densities, such development shall be clustered and sited in a manner to fit the topography and existing rural character of Chimayo, instead of in an urban grid pattern.
1. 
Residential Lot Coverage Calculations on Density Transfers or other types of Perpetual Easements.
Whenever density transfers are used to create open space in perpetuity by easement or other legal means, and new lots are created, maximum residential lot coverage shall increase up to 50% and shall be calculated based on each individual new development lot.
9.16.3 
Establishment of Zoning Districts.
The development standards of Chapter 8 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.16.3.1 
Generally.
The ChCD modifies the underlying base zoning districts in order to address special siting, use, and compatibility issues requiring regulations that supplement or supplant those found in the base zoning districts of this Code. If an overlay zone regulation conflicts with any standard of the underlying zone, the standard of the overlay zone shall govern.
9.16.3.2 
Use Regulations.
Uses permitted, conditional and prohibited as identified in Chapter 8 and Appendix B of this Code with exceptions identified on the ChCD Use Table [Table 9-16-9].
9.16.3.3 
Lot Coverage.
The standards shall be regulated as identified in Chapter 8 of this Code with the following exceptions:
1. 
Residential Uses.
The maximum lot coverage for residential uses is 25%.
2. 
Agricultural Uses.
Agricultural uses resulting in roofed areas and/or impermeable surfaces are subject to the ChCD lot coverage restrictions.
9.16.4 
Establishment of Zoning Districts.
The development standards of Chapter 8 of this Code shall be applicable to all development, except as otherwise specified herein.
9.16.4.1 
Generally.
The ChCD modifies the underlying base zoning districts in order to address special siting, use, and compatibility issues requiring regulations that supplement or supplant those found in the base zoning districts of this Code. If an overlay zone regulation conflicts with any standard of the underlying zone, the standard of the overlay zone shall govern.
9.16.4.2 
Base Zoning Districts.
Base zoning districts approved for use in the ChCD are listed in Table 9-16-1.

1. 
ChCD Rural Residential (ChCD RUR-R); Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to preserve the scenic and environmental resources attributed to the hills, barrancas and “tierras secanas” that surround the acequia irrigated agricultural lands of the Chimayo Valley. The area is a highly valued scenic, historic and cultural resource for the community. The majority of the area should remain as natural open space with continued opportunities for grazing and hiking. Uses that support rural character of the broader area should be allowed and include educational and training activities, conferences, contemplative activities, caretaker quarters, overnight and short-term stays, eco-tourism, retreats, agricultural production, farmers’ markets and produce stands. Development in this district should reflect historic patterns and styles of Northern New Mexico Vernacular architecture and traditional materials and siting should be incorporated. Density bonuses, density transfers and clustered development should be allowed in order to support continued farming and/or ranching activities, conserve open space or protect scenic features and environmentally sensitive areas.

ChCD Traditional Community (ChCD TC); Purpose.
This district is characterized by historic acequia irrigated farmlands, residential uses and traditional development patterns and includes the Chimayo Historic Village Areas of Plaza del Cerro and Plaza del Potrero. Land uses and development shall contribute to the historic and cultural character of the areas by siting structures appropriately, staying consistent with scale and height of surrounding buildings and using Northern New Mexico vernacular architecture. Agricultural lands and acequias are the defining cultural features of the area and should be preserved and expanded. Acequia irrigated properties are highly valued by the community and provide an important visual amenity. In conjunction with new development in the area, incentives such as transfer of development rights and bonus zoning should be established to ensure preservation of agricultural lands and support for ongoing cultural uses. The area consists of primarily single-family residential and small-scale agricultural development, consistent with historic development patterns and uses. This district includes appropriately scaled community facilities, institutional uses, agricultural uses, home businesses and occupations.

P
Permitted Use: The letter “P” indicates that the listed use is permitted by right within the zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of the SLDC.
A
Accessory Use: The letter “A” indicates that the listed use is permitted only where it is accessory to a use that is permitted or conditionally approved for that district. Accessory uses shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same tract or lot as the principal use.
C
Conditional Use: The letter “C” indicates that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter 4.
DCI
Development of Countywide Impact: The letters “DCI” indicate that the listed use is permitted within the zoning district only after review and approval as a Development of Countywide Impact.
X
Prohibited Use: The letter “X” indicates that the use is not permitted within the district.
The Use Matrix also includes Function, Activity and Structure Codes in accordance with the Land Based Classification System.
Uses not specifically enumerated. When a proposed use is not specifically listed in the use matrix, the Administrator may determine that the use is materially similar to a listed use if:
The proposed use is listed as within the same structure or function classification as the use specifically enumerated in the use matrix as determined by the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of the American Planning Association (APA); or
If the use cannot be located within one of the LBCS classifications, the Administrator shall refer to the most recent manual of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The proposed use shall be considered materially similar if it falls within the same industry classification of the NAICS manual. A proposed use shall be treated in the same manner as the listed use to which it is materially similar. For example, if the proposed use is materially similar to a permitted use, this proposed use shall also be a permitted use.
