Santa Fe City Council

Santa Fe City Council on Thursday discussed, but took no action, on a proposed smoking ban.  Several members of the audience were supportive of the ban, which will be considered for action at a future meeting.

The city council voted final approval of an amendment to the the City of Santa Fe Unified Development Code, establishing new criteria for all proposed development "within 300 feet of any designated corridor or identified intersection herein, or within 300 feet of the right-of-way south of the Santa Fe railroad tracks, to all properties lying between Hightway 6 and the Santa Fe railroad right-of-way, and within 300 feet of the designated right-of-way north of Highway 6".

"We are concerned about the facades on the buildings," explained Council Member Ralph Stenzel.  "We would like for the buildings to look like they are new for a long period of time."   Listen  Download

The city council voted to proclaim April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.

All other agenda items were approved.
