Nob Hill Neighbors, We have been notified by Michael Vos of Consensus Planning of an application for building permit to remodel the 1939 Conoco Station at 3601 Central Ave. It is to be repurposed as a veterinary clinic.
Mr. Vos states: No new height is proposed, only a small addition on the east side to also be single-story like the existing building. The elevation in the exhibits shows some doors and windows being removed/relocated but the character is intended to remain much the same as it currently is.
This is an administrative decision, not a hearing. Zoning staff will be reviewing the permit. I am not aware of a time frame so if you want to weigh in I recommend you do it quickly. If you want to make any suggestions or have questions please reach out to Mr. Vos.

Dear Nob Hill Neighbors:
This email is notification that a Building Permit (Site Plan – Administrative) has been submitted to the City of Albuquerque Planning Department by Mullen Heller Architecture for the property located at 3601 Central Avenue NE, which is located at the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Carlisle Boulevard. The permit number is BP-2021-12043.
Formerly the Golden Eagle Trading Co., the scope of the project includes the renovation of the existing Trading Post building for a new veterinary hospital, which is a Permissive use under the site’s existing MX-M (Mixed-use Moderate Intensity) zoning. The building facades will remain generally as they are currently. The existing wood windows will be refurbished and repainted. The building will be restuccoed to freshen the building’s appearance. A small addition of 900 square feet will be added to the east side of the building. The facades of the addition are designed to integrate with the current Trading Post. The parking lot will be repaved, and the small windowless building in the middle of the parking lot will be demolished. The existing building on the east side of the site is not part of the scope of this project. The existing pylon signs on the site will remain and be refurbished.
A copy of the proposed site plan and building elevations, along with other required information is attached to this email. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Doug Heller with Mullen Heller Architecture at (505) 268-4144 or Doug@mullenheller.com, or reply all to this email.
Sincerely,
Michael Vos, AICP
