ZONING & RESTRICTIONS

Zoning: Cibola County is one of the few New Mexico counties that has no formal county-wide zoning ordinance and defers instead to towns, municipalities and owners' associations within its borders to make and enforce their own rules. Because of this, the only "local" regulations specific to this region would come either from an Association or from the covenants and restrictions on file for the subdivision.

Subdivision: When the subject property was first created, it was part of a much larger effort by the developer to subdivided and re-plat a rural region in the heart of Candy Kitchen into residential land. For some reason that developer elected to assign legal descriptions to every handful of properties as if they were part of a different subdivision, instead of all being part of one larger community. So while most all the land in this region was created at the same time by the same developer, roughly every twenty parcels are part of a different subdivision and thus, are named and identified differently. The subject property is located in the Lewis Subdivision, a fact which seems to be the only thing that distinguishes it from any of the other formally named subdivisions that surround it.

No HOA: The Lewis subdivision, like most all the surrounding communities, is not part of an HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: When the subject property was first subdivided, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. While most of these are what we like to refer to as "reasonable, good neighbor restrictions" dealing primarily with the disposal of trash and prohibitions on excess noise, there are a few covenants that deal with setbacks and limitations on subdivision of the land. Because of this, anyone considering purchasing the property is encouraged to review the Lewis Subdivision Covenants and Restrictions document linked here.

Editor's Note: The above-linked covenants and restrictions document is one of the least detailed we here at Hemingway Land have ever encountered. Documents like this will typically enumerate acceptable types of structures, minimum square footage for those structures, timelines for building as well as how long, if at all, a property can be used recreationally. This document only stipulates that structures be "pleasing to the eye." Additionally, this document neither addresses nor prohibits any of those things as most covenant and restrictions would. This, in combination with the relaxed County zoning, suggests that few restrictions exist or are being enforced here. This further suggests that the land would be ideal for unconventional structures difficult to get permitted elsewhere such as tiny homes, shipping containers, earthships and yurts. In addition, one can also conclude that RV camping for prolonged periods of time would not be met with serious opposition.
