A Neighborhood-Altering Decision

A contested development plan for a smallish lot in Los Alamos is soon to come before a county decision maker.

A contested development plan for a smallish lot in Los Alamos is soon to come before a county decision maker. After public comment at a hearing, its fate may be settled by the Zoning Administrator next month.

The builder seeks to add 11 more homes to an acre-and-a-half lot that already has one dwelling and he seeks access from a narrow road with a one-lane bottleneck. For obvious reasons of safety and health, this plan is unsound and should be denied.

In a letter to the Zoning Administrator I have set out three findings specified in State Government Code §66474 that are cause for disapproval of the plan.
