LAS CRUCES 鈥� The city of Sunland Park presented a revised annexation proposal to Do帽a Ana County鈥檚 Board of Commissioners on Tuesday that renewed concerns about the border city鈥檚 expansion near industrial development in Santa Teresa.

The proposed territory could bring development to land two miles north of Project Jupiter, the 1,400-acre data center under construction in Santa Teresa, and close to the Do帽a Ana County International Jetport.

Although the county does not have authority to veto a legal annexation petition, the process does require the county鈥檚 input ahead of city council action.

As Sunland Park鈥檚 population grows, developers have petitioned to annex lands adjacent to the city line for mixed residential and commercial neighborhoods, growing into the Santa Teresa community toward zones subject to the county鈥檚 plans for industrial development. It would also place new residential communities close to industrial activity.

The application considered by the commissioners Tuesday was a revised proposal for the Rancho Santa Teresa development, contemplating a city expansion into approximately 362 acres along Sunland Park鈥檚 northwestern boundary adjacent to Airport Road as well as the Pete V. Domenici Highway, a key traffic artery serving the Santa Teresa Port of Entry. A previous annexation faced a legal challenge resulting in the modification.

The development plans consist of medium- to high-density residential capacity with commercial and industrial activity.

The application appeared on the agenda for Sunland Park鈥檚 Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, and would come before the city council at a future session.

Recent annexation applications have drawn exasperated responses from the county and calls for joint planning between the government entities. Commissioners and county staff have lamented jagged boundary lines that exclude certain residential subdivisions and state land, creating islands of unincorporated county territory that would be surrounded by the city.

County officials have said drawing boundaries this way could create confusion for law enforcement and emergency jurisdictions. They have also asked questions about water supply, as the regional water utility Camino Real Regional Utility Authority, or CRRUA, is in the process of dissolving and being incorporated as a city utility.

Although the application did not address commissioners鈥� questions about water supply, it did state that the city was considering the creation of Public Improvement and Tax Increment Development districts to help fund new infrastructure.

鈥淭he health and the welfare of that community 鈥� living right next to a jetport that is having large cargo planes with noise and other health concerns are at issue right now,鈥� Commissioner Susana Chaparro said. 鈥淚 understand the need to expand. I understand the need to provide housing for people, but not to endanger their health.鈥�

Acting county manager Stephen Lopez raised the possibility of condemning land adjacent to the airport using the commissioners鈥� .

鈥淭his board could 鈥� condemn any of the properties within half a mile of the jetport to provide for safe operation of the airport; and the runway does point straight at this property,鈥� Lopez said.

The commissioners, with Susie Kimble acting as chair, approved a letter recommending that the city exclude community members who don鈥檛 want to be part of the city, study industrial land uses that might conflict with residential needs, and support the expansion of the Domenici Highway.

In language added during Tuesday鈥檚 session, the letter said the county was considering its legal options around airport safety.

Last year, Sunland Park projected that Rancho Santa Teresa, once completed, would add $50 million to the local economy. Mayor Javier Perea said last November that the community illustrated the city鈥檚 commitment 鈥渢o smart, sustainable development that enhances quality of life and expands opportunities for our residents.鈥�

But county resident Christine Dobbin argued in a public comment at Tuesday鈥檚 session, 鈥淭here鈥檚 no justification for placing new neighborhoods and families at risk near the site.鈥�

A spokesperson for the city of Sunland Park did not respond to queries from the Journal.
