The Socorro City Council approved on second reading an ordinance to rezone Tract 15E, Block 10 (11159 Alameda Ave) from M‑1 light industrial to General Mixed Use (GMU) to permit a mix of commercial and residential development.
Staff summarized the site as a 1.259‑acre lot currently zoned M‑1; the applicant (Rodriguez, represented by Assire 3 Architects) submitted a master zoning plan and proposed a new commercial building with a 12‑unit apartment complex to the rear (4 two‑bedroom units and 8 three‑bedroom units). Planning staff recommended approval and noted the planning and zoning commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning.
No public speakers registered for the council hearing. Council moved, seconded and approved the second reading of the ordinance by voice vote.
Next steps: The applicant must submit the master zoning plan and proceed through standard site plan and permitting review.
