Appeal Process Initiated for PNM Planning Commission Recommendation
Appeal Process Initiated for PNM Planning Commission Recommendation (ACTION REQUIRED BY DECEMBER 31, 2025)
I am writing to provide a significant update regarding the recent Bernalillo County (BernCo) Planning Commission's recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to approve the PNM application.
I was recently contacted by Nick Hamm, the Director of BernCo Planning. He advised that, due to the outpouring of public interest in the Planning Commission's decision, BernCo has decided to implement an appeal process for this recommendation.
This appeal process offers a critical opportunity for our community to formally challenge the recommendation before it reaches the County Commissioners for a final decision.
Key Information & Next Steps
Action: BernCo will allow for an appeal of the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the PNM application.
Documentation: Letters of instruction for initiating this appeal are currently being prepared.
Deadline: The deadline for filing the necessary appeal documentation will be December 31, 2025.
I will continue to monitor the situation and share the letters of instruction upon receiving them. Given the strict December 31st deadline, we must be prepared to act once the instructions are available.
Please be on alert for a follow-up email from me containing the necessary documentation and a plan for preparing our appeal.
Regards,
