Lomas Encantadas neighbors brought the crowd, but the developer got the votes. Rio Rancho’s Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-1 Tuesday to recommend The Luxe, a 55-unit apartment complex on the corner of Camino Encantadas and Camino Venada NE. Speaker after speaker had urged the board to reject it.
