This amendment favors unregulated private property use protections regardless of their parasitic effect upon quality of life and sustainable commerce.  It will override any past Zoning decisions that protected your neighborhoods from package liquor retailers.
As a whole, our city realizes no profit from any business that inflicts this burden upon its public.  It is merely a liability that has shown to have a detrimental effect on any city’s resources.  It is a liability that diminishes a city’s bond capability to the extent that it begins a spiral of increasing debt.

This misguided and irresponsible amendment, (Amendment A to O-17-49), will be heard at the next Land Use Planning, and Zoning Committee (LUPZ) meeting which will be a ZOOM Video Conference on June 24.  The meeting time and sign-in instructions should be available by this Friday, June 19, at <https://www.cabq.gov/council/events> or <https://cabq.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx>.  Please sign up to speak.
