In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposed zone map amendment in Rio Rancho Estates, shifting the designation from Rural Residential Agriculture (RRA) to Rural Commercial (RC) to facilitate a new mobile home sales business. The proposal includes the construction of a 16-foot by 60-foot office building, a 40-foot wide access driveway, a new septic system, and a designated parking area.

The applicants plan to showcase two manufactured model homes on the site—one double wide and one single wide—to attract potential buyers. To enhance security, the property will be enclosed with a six-foot high chain-link fence, with access provided through a gate from Southern Boulevard Southwest.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that the request be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for approval, citing findings of fact and conditions outlined in the staff report. This amendment marks the fourth item of its kind discussed in the meeting, highlighting ongoing developments in the area.
