Fellow Hilleños, Last week your Nob Hill neighborhood association sent the email below to neighbors@nobhill-nm.com and nextdoor.com seeking input on the draft Integrated Development Ordinance that will be considered by members of City Council in a couple weeks.

As of last night 11 of you had sent comments on the listserve as well as 5 to me or to theboard@nobhill-nm.com

Please know that you are being heard. Your comments will be discussed at our NHNA study session Wednesday night where you are welcome to drop in and discuss.

Everything we hear until then will go to NHNA’s board August 9 where you are also welcome.

Please keep your ideas coming, keep the dialogue flowing.

And submit your comments to councilors through cortega@cabq.gov by August 9

And tell councilors in person on August 16.

Thanks, Gary Eyster, NHNA Task Force Chair

Subject: Albuquerque is re-writing its zoning code; Nob Hill seeks neighbor input

Fellow Hilleños,

Albuquerque is re-writing its zoning code. The Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) will do away with Sector Plans like our 2007 Sector Plan. As an example, the sector plan limits building heights on Central from Girard to Aliso to 39 feet. In its current version the IDO would allow these to 45 feet or 65 feet in the blocks immediately adjacent to ART stations.

For the last 18 months your Nob Hill Neighborhood Association (NHNA) has sought neighborhood input and used it to provide recommendations to CABQ.  Some of our recommendations have been incorporated and some have not.

Soon a committee of 5 city councilors will accept public comment and prepare the IDO for approval by the full city council. This committee, the Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee (LUPZ) will accept written comments until August 9 and oral comments on August 16. Our councilor, Pat Davis, is on the LUPZ.

This is the last chance for NHNA and individuals to influence the IDO.

NHNA seeks further input from neighbors using the framework on the attachment. We also invite input not yet included in this framework. Pages refer to the location of the language in the July 2017 draft which can be seen at www.abc-zone.com  Look at the Interim LUPZ draft.

You are invited to bring your input personally to a study session August 2 between 6:30pm and 8:00pm at 2918 Campus NE and/or email it to theboard@nobhill-nm.com or the listserve.

NHNA will use input to craft written comments to LUPZ on August 9. NHNA encourages neighbors to provide input for NHNA comments and also to provide comments directly to LUPZ at www.abc-zone.com

and orally at its August 16 meeting.

Feel free to email theboard@nobhill-nm.com or the listserve with questions.

Thanks, Your NHNA IDO Task Force; Beverly Hill, Govinda Haines, Greg Weirs, Gary Eyster, Chair
