Body
In the late summer of 2021, the CDD/Economic Development Division began working with UbiQD, LLC to address their expansion needs and challenges at 134 East Gate Drive. UbiQD, a former and successful LEDA project for the County, expressed they were planning to expand their laboratory facilities into the lower level of their building, and that they needed to gain access to the lower level from the rear, or east side of the building. This need posed several challenges: access would be needed between their building and one of their neighboring buildings, and access across County-owned property would be needed to gain access to a new overhead door on the east side of their building. To make things more complicated, the piece of County-owned property is located within the jurisdiction of Santa Fe County.
During the following months, CDD/Economic Development Division and the County Attorney’s office supported and facilitated: 1) the creation of a permanent access agreement between UbiQD and its neighbor to the north to allow for driveway access to the east side of the UbiQD building; 2) the creation of a temporary access easement on the County-owned property within Santa Fe County to allow for permitting and construction; and 3) the negotiation and development of the subject ordinance and purchase and sales agreement for a permanent easement to UbiQD, LLC.
