After deliberating in closed session for several hours Friday, Los Alamos County Council approved 6-1, with Council Vice Chair Denise Derkacs opposed, to ‘find that the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission was in accordance with adopted County plans, policies and ordinances and that the facts on which the decision was based are supported by the record and that the decision was not arbitrary, capricious, or a manifest abuse of discretion.’  Furthermore, the council affirmed the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission in Case No SUP-2022-0020 and Case SUP-2022-0021. The cases center on a special use permit the Planning and Zoning Commission approved for Worms and Wildflowers Daycare, 113 B La Senda Road, owned by Denise Matthews. Some of Matthews’  neighbors and other residents sought to appeal the commission’s decision. Among their concerns are noise and traffic increasing significantly. Screenshot/LADP
