City Council approves expanding the Paseo Gateway Master Plan

The short version

1. 1

   The City Council approved a change that makes the Paseo Gateway Master Plan cover more land.

   The change adds more lots to the plan and updates acreage, land use, park locations and zoning. It passed 6-0, and the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended it on Aug. 25.

   What it means for youLand newly added to the plan now falls under its land use, park and zoning rules.

2. 2

   The City Council approved moving the liquor license at the Walgreens on Northern Boulevard to new owners.

   The city clerk said the transfer follows a merger with Walgreens' parent company that changed who owns the store. The license covers package sales, and the vote was 6-0.

   What it means for youThe minutes do not record any change to what the store sells.

3. 3

   Without discussion, the City Council gave final approval to the site plan for a Maverik gas station and filled two volunteer board seats.

   These items passed together in one 6-0 vote. Darryl Manning joins the Keep Rio Rancho Beautiful Committee, and Joseph Deimos joins the Public Infrastructure Advisory Board.

4. 4

   The minutes do not say what happened to two more liquor license requests on the agenda.

   One request would move the license at the Walgreens on Southern Boulevard to the new owners. The other would give a winegrower license to Vita Brevis LLC on Red Canyon Drive NE.
