Board approves preliminary plat extension for Broadmoor Heights Unit 5

The Rio Rancho Planning and Zoning Board approved a preliminary plat extension for Broadmoor Heights Unit 5, a proposed subdivision that would create 78 single-family lots zoned R4.

Chris Benson, planner with the City of Rio Rancho, summarized the request from BGB Rio Rancho 1 LLC (agent Bohannon Houston Inc.), and said the original preliminary plat was approved on Jan. 24, 2023. Benson told the board no significant changes to the subdivision or zoning codes have occurred that would require a reapproval; staff recommended granting an extension to allow additional time for review of construction plans. Benson said construction dirt work has started and the extension would let the developer finish final engineering and submit a final plat.

Kelly Klein, agent with Bohannon Houston, took an oath and told the board the pre-construction meeting occurred that day and the applicant was requesting the preliminary plat extension to keep the project moving forward. There were no public speakers for or against the item. A member moved to approve the extension, the motion was seconded, a roll call was taken and the motion passed.

The board approved the extension with the staff-recommended findings and conditions; staff will continue to review final construction plans as they are submitted.
