THE BERNALILLO COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION IS PUTTING OFF FOR TWO MONTHS ANY DECISION ON A HUGE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF ALBUQUERQUE. THE SANTOLINA MASTER PLAN ENCOMPASSES MORE THAN 13-THOUSAND ACRES NEAR I-40 AND 118TH STREET.
IF IT GOES THROUGH, SUPPORTERS SAY THE AREA COULD SOME DAY BE HOME TO 90-THOUSAND PEOPLE. BUT OPPONENTS WONDER ABOUT THE LIMITED SUPPLY OF WATER.
