Purpose Santa Fe County (“the County”) is committed to a more sustainable community that meets the needs of future population growth and new development. This land use assumptions report (“the LUA report”) provides an overview of population, employment and housing under different geographies. The LUA report is a tool for the County to sustainably provide and maintain infrastructure and public services. The information presented in the LUA report is the first step in a multi-step process required for the County to adopt a capital improvement plan (CIP) and consider impact fees under the New Mexico Development Fees Act and the Santa Fe County Sustainable Land Development Code (SLDC). 1.2. Components According to the definition of “land use assumptions” in New Mexico State Statute, a land use assumptions report shall “include a description of the service area and projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities, and population in the service area over at least a five-year period.” N.M. Stat. § 5-8-2. (2006). This LUA report considers a ten-year period of growth from 2020-2030. Additionally, a “service area” as defined in New Mexico State Statute, “means a standardized measure of consumption, use, generation or discharge attributable to an individual unit of development calculated in accordance with generally accepted engineering or planning standards for a particular category of capital improvements or facility expansion.” NM Stat. § 5-8-2. (2006). For nearly all service categories the service area is the entire county. The service area for “Roads” has been described as encompassing Sustainable Development Areas (SDA) 1 and 2, the primary areas for growth in the county over the next 20 years.
