\"Santolina\"<\/a>Bernalillo County\u2019s planning commissioners asked the same question over and over on Wednesday as they debated a proposed master plan for an enormous development on the far West Side<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the water going to come from? <\/p>\n

\u201cIf the applicant can\u2019t address the water situation, we\u2019re wasting our time,\u201d planning commissioner Lenton Malry said at one point. <\/p>\n

At another, commissioner Joe Chavez, who presided over the hearing, put it this way: \u201cWe want to know where this water is going to come from. \u2026 I don\u2019t think this commission is just going to vote on a blind thing that says, \u2018We\u2019re going to get it.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

The questions centered on the proposed Santolina Master Plan, which would cover 13,700 acres<\/strong> southwest of Interstate 40 and 118th Street. It\u2019s the largest master plan ever considered by the county, planners said. <\/p>\n

More than 90,000 people might live there 50 years from now<\/strong>, under the property owners\u2019 vision\u2026. <\/p>\n

About 40 people attended Wednesday\u2019s hearing. The commission didn\u2019t make a final recommendation on whether to support the master plan. <\/p>\n

The next Santolina hearing is scheduled at 9 a.m. July 30 in the city-county Government Center, One Civic Plaza NW.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
