Additional usable open space requirements in Subsections 14-16-4-3(B)(3)(i) (Dwelling, Cottage Development) and 14-16-4-3(B)(5)(a) (Dwelling, Townhouse) may apply to low-density residential development in any Mixed-use zone district.

Electric service provision from the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) will also depend on adequate structure clearance requirements as outlined in the PNM Electric Service Guide.
