Summary:

Guadalupe Chavez, LLC, owned by Jim Long, has been approved to divide 9.2 acres at the corner of Guadalupe & Chavez into 17 separate properties, 16 of which would be sold for the construction of custom homes according to the wishes of buyers. A parcel of about 2.5 acres would be preserved as “open land”, though it would be available to residents of the development for recreation.

Revised property plan

This application was approved as a pilot project under the Village 2035 Master Plan.

As approved, the development would demolish land utilized by Sandhill Cranes that come to this space every year, as well as many other species of birds and mammals.

  • Submit written comments to the Village prior to a meeting and/or sign up via the Village website to speak at the meeting.

We the undersigned residents of the Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque would respectfully request that Mayor Don Lopez and Trustees; Pacheco, Lewis, Radnovich and Benavidez of the Governing Body of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque take the following steps to protect all residents’ rights to a save the quality of life that currently exists in our beautiful community.
