Proposed Updates

As the first annual update, there are lots of changes proposed!

 

·     Proposed Technical Edits were compiled by Planning staff from comments from residents, developers/agents, architects/designers, and staff. These are minor adjustments to language/organization to improve clarity and to strengthen the original intent of the adopted language.

 

·     Proposed Amendments are submitted by by City Councilors and include more substantive changes to the IDO.

 

·     Other application materials, agendas, and staff reports will be posted online here when they become available.

 

You can send comments now and throughout the review/decision process via email to abctoz@cabq.gov.

·     Step 1: Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) - Review and recommendation

·     Step 2: City Council’s Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee (LUPZ) - Review and recommendation

·     Step 3: City Council - Final decision
