Santa Fe County is poised to overhaul its approach to local housing, commercial lodging, and industrial infrastructure during a high-stakes special meeting called for early November.
The Board of County Commissioners will convene at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026, inside the Santa Fe County Commission Chambers at 102 Grant Ave., Santa Fe, NM, according to official county scheduling records. Santa Fe County reported that the hybrid gathering will give commissioners their first formal look at comprehensive revisions to local growth management rules.
The Scope of the Legislative Review
The upcoming legislative review targets two massive pillars of local policy: the county’s Short-Term Rental and Business Licensing Regulations alongside the Sustainable Land Development Code.
Briefings on Rentals and Business Licenses
Growth Management Department staff will lead the presentations driving the afternoon’s agenda. Michael Vos is scheduled to brief the commission on proposed adjustments to short-term rental rules and business licensing requirements, a framework that directly impacts the booming vacation lodging market operating in residential neighborhoods throughout the county.
Land Development Code and Night Sky Protections
Following that briefing, Alexandra Ladd will present a sweeping slate of proposed amendments to the Sustainable Land Development Code. That segment of the agenda digs into accessory dwelling units, traffic impact analyses, and stricter night sky protections designed to preserve the region’s famous dark skies.
Proposed Data Center Moratorium
Most notably, the land use presentation introduces a proposed data center moratorium.
Accessing the Hybrid Session
Public access to the session is arranged through a hybrid model. Attendees can join in person on the second floor of the Santa Fe County Commission Chambers or participate remotely via Teams, Diligent Community, YouTube, and Facebook. Detailed connection instructions are maintained on the official Santa Fe County meeting portal.
County officials note that virtual access remains subject to potential technical disruptions. Individuals requiring Spanish translation or American Sign Language interpreting services are directed to contact the Santa Fe County Manager’s Office ahead of the proceedings.
The complete text of the scheduled proposals and administrative items is detailed in the official Notice of and Agenda for Special BCC Meeting.
