Watson v. Town Council of Town of Bernalillo

OPINION

APODACA, Judge.

Petitioner Eugene Watson and others (collectively designated as protestors) appeal the district court’s decision affirming certain rezoning action taken by the Bernalillo Town Council (Council) that permitted the construction and operation of a gypsum wallboard manufacturing plant. The issue essentially raised on appeal is whether the Council’s action constituted “illegal spot zoning.” We hold that it did not and conclude that there was substantial evidence on the whole record to support the Council’s rezoning decision. We thus affirm the district court.
