GENERAL QUESTIONS : zoningcounter@santafenm.gov
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS
PRE-APPLICATION PHASE
For many applications, the development review process begins with a pre-application conference, where the applicant presents their proposal
to the City’s Development Review Team (DRT) for initial review and feedback. If the applicant wishes to proceed, a city planner is assigned to
assist the applicant through the remaining steps of the process. For administratively reviewed applications, a pre-application conference is
usually not required.
For all applications requiring a hearing before a land use board, the applicant shall schedule, notice and host an early neighborhood notification
(ENN) meeting in coordination with the city planner. The intent of the ENN is to provide for an exchange of information among the applicant,
residents, and property owners, prior to application submittal. ENN notification requirements are set forth in SFCC §14-3.1(H). Applications that
qualify for administrative review and some variances are not required to conduct an ENN meeting.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PHASE
Once an application and all required submittals are prepared by the applicant, they or their agent submits the Application to the City via
planning@santafenm.gov. The applicant will receive an email confirming receipt of the application, and an invoice for applicable development
fees which can be paid online or at the cashier’s office at City Hall. The city planner and the DRT review the application for completeness and
compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances, plans and regulations. During the review process, the city planner or members of the DRT
may request additional information or amendments from the applicant to complete the review process. The review timeline can range for 9-12
weeks or more depending on the complexity of the application and the total number of cases under review.
PUBLIC HEARING PHASE
When the City determines that the application is complete, the case is scheduled for a public hearing before the applicable Land Use Board.
Notification requirements for public hearings are set forth in SFCC §14-3.1(H). If the application is approved at the public hearing, the city
planner will prepare the findings of fact and conclusions of law (FOFCOL) documenting the approval findings, any conditions of approval and
an expiration date for the approval, as required.
POST APPROVAL PHASE
When the applicant has met all necessary conditions of approval and technical corrections, the plan or plat is recorded at the County Clerk’s
office and filed with the City’s plat room. The case planner prepares an action letter detailing the approval record. The applicant may then
proceed to building permitting and construction.
If you have questions about the requirements please contact your assigned case planner or planning@santafenm.gov.
