Fiscal Year 2006 Planning Projects
The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan and the Planned Growth Strategy provide the policy framework for the physical development of our community. Lower ranking plans for sub-areas of the city and county provide more detailed policy direction to help implement the Comprehensive Plan and PGS. For Fiscal Year 2006, the Planning Department, assisted by on-call planning consultants, will initiate development of several new sub-area plans and amendments/updates to existing plans and policies.**
The overall goals for these planning efforts are:
-
Implement Centers & Corridors
-
Enhance the livability of communities
-
Attain stakeholder agreement through the planning process
-
Develop regulatory and capital project plans
The Planning Department will use this site for periodic status reports on the below projects planned or in progress during Fiscal Year 2006.
**Note that the dates shown for each project are ideal goals. Target dates for EPC and City Council hearings are subject to a number of factors and may change accordingly.
Barelas Sector Development Plan
Contact: Ed Boles - (505)924-3342
Project Timeline:
Begun October 2005,
and developed during the following year, the Draft Plan was
recommended
by the Environmental Planning Commission
on January 11, 2007.
City Council introduction date for the Draft Plan was October 15, 2007 and on January 11, 2008 the Council’s Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee passed the Draft Plan with several amendments to the full Council. The Draft Plan, as amended in five committee amendments and seven floor amendments, was adopted by the City Council on April 7, 2008.
Project Description:
The Plan replaces Barelas Sector Development Plan adopted in 1993. The Plan includes some zoning and some development controls while retaining much of the zoning and control of the 1993 Plan. It provides a ten-item priority list of capital implementation projects with cost estimates for each. It recommends many other implementation actions and potential funding sources.
By involving members of the public who want to participate, the planning process was meant to help build commmunity, capacity and “ownership” of the updated Sector Development Plan to ensure its implementation.
Meetings:
Ten Steering Committee meetings and three public meetings were held during the plan's preparation.
Sites Southwest, working on contract to the City of Albuquerque,
prepared
the September, 2006 Draft Plan
from information gathered in those meetings.
Status as of April 2008:
The Plan
is adopted and the 1993 Barelas Sector Development Plan is repealed. The adopted Plan is being prepared by the Planning Department for publication distribution, and posting online. Target date for publication and posting is May 2008.
Key issue categories in the Draft Plan:
* Transportation
* Public Safety, Social Services and Community Facilities
* Housing
* Economic Development and Revitalization
* Surrounding Areas, Land Use, and Zoning
* Historic Preservation*Zoning and development controls for the former locomotive shops of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, a 27-acre property purchased by the City of Albuquerque in late 2007.
Coors Corridor Plan and Design Overlay Zone Update
Contact:Jon Messier (505)924-3888
Project Timeline:
Initiated in August 2005; adoption by the City Council now anticipated by December 2008. Public Hearings by the Environmental Planning Commission began on May 10, 2007 and Continued to February 14, 2008
Project Description:
Prepare a new Coors Corridor Plan and Design Overlay Zone to replace the existing 1984 plan which has been amended several times. The scope of the new short range plan will be better aligned with the City’s long range Comprehensive Plan. It will focus on conserving the scenic qualities of far distant features experienced eastward along the street, particularly its northern two segments, about half of the Corridor’s ten mile length. Associated with the new plan will be a Design Overlay Zone to conserve these scenic qualities by regulating building height.
Public Hearing Status as of April 2008:
A draft of the new plan was considered by the Environmental Planning Commission on May 10, 2007. The Commission requested the staff to improve the draft and continued the public hearing. Between July 2007 and February 2008 the staff retained a second consultant to assist in preparing an improved second draft. The consultant’s work is expected to be complete in the Summer 2008. The following list is linked to the Notice of Decisions regarding EPC actions.

Public Participation:A public meeting was held on November 9, 2006, at the Taylor Ranch Community Center to discuss further the revisions of the draft Coors Corridor Plan before submittal to the Environmental Planning Commission. The Planning Department presented the "Parkway" concept to the public, which would require a trail to be placed on either side of Coors to allow for a pedestrian parkway. In addition, revisions to the height restrictions, along with the site and building design standards were demonstrated. The proposed Capital Improvement Projects were presented as well.An Open House was held on May 24, 2006 at the Taylor Ranch Community Center to debut the draft of the Coors Corridor Plan (dated May 24, 2006) and to update property owners, developers, and residents of plan priorities – including View Preservation strategies and pedestrian facilities – and to gather community input regarding the proposed CIP priorities. Responses varied widely regarding the effectiveness and appropriateness of the proposed plan elements. Copies of the draft plan and the graphic display boards were available at the Taylor Ranch Community Center for public comment between May 24, 2006 and May 27, 2006.
A Feedback Forum was held on January 25, 2006 for developers and their agents, property owners, and any other interested parties. The purpose of the "Feedback Forum" was to inform stakeholders of work done to date on the Plan and to provide them with an opportunity to comment on the initial plan concepts.
A Charrette was held on Friday, December 9, 2005 between the hours of noon and 5:30 pm. This workshop focused on the current design standards, especially preserving the view of the Bosque and Mountains. Participants also provided suggestions on how to improve pedestrian movement and circulation designs along Coors. The Charrette took place at the Taylor Ranch Community Center, 4900 Kachina NW.
The Coors Corridor Kick-Off Meeting was held on November 1, 2005 at the Paradise Hills Community Center. Approximately 40 participants attended the meeting and provided information regarding their thoughts about Coors. Participants expressed concerns regarding the traffic along Coors and the lack of pedestrian opportunities. Issues related to existing and pending construction along the east side of Coors were reviewed with participants, and expressed positive and negative aspects of each development.
No other public meetings have been scheduled for the Coors Corridor Plan.

Great Streets Facility Plan
Contact: Manjeet Tangri - (505)924-3356
Project Timeline:
Planning project scheduled for completion and submittal to EPC by the end of the year.
Project Scope Description:
Initiate a special task force on defining and implementing “Great Streets” principles. Prepare an analysis and report on policy/regulatory revisions and capital programming necessary for Albuquerque to enact the principles of Great Streets, Great Neighborhoods, and Great safe routes to Schools. Prepare a priority list of Transit Corridor links as a guide for public investment in pedestrian and transit improvements. The project will develop prototype designs for great streets. This project will also include review with stakeholders.
Project Status as of April 2008:
The Draft Great Streets Facility Plan was presented to the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) at a study session on February 14, 2008 in the EPC hearing room, Plaza del Sol bldg, 600 2nd St NW, basement level. The Facility Plan was deferred for sixty days at the EPC Public Hearing on Thursday, March 13, 2008. The new EPC hearing date is Thursday, May 8, 2008 and will take place in the EPC hearing room, basement level, Plaza del Sol Building. The meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. You may call 924-3860 to check item status until 5:00 pm We look forward to seeing you at the hearing.The draft Facility Plan can be accessed on this website at the link below. If you are interested in a hard copy, please call Manjeet Tangri at the number listed above.
The Planning Department made a presentation of the draft plan to the public on December 12, 2007.
The consultants prepared the preliminary prototype design concepts for four types of city streets. These prototype designs were based on a ¼ mile segment of existing streets. The four types of streets are: Major Transit Corridor, Enhanced Transit Corridor, an arterial street and a collector street. The Great Streets Facility Plan will also include a list of streets throughout the City, which have the potential of becoming great streets.
The designs were presented to the Technical Advisory Committee on April 2nd. The revised prototype Great Streets design concepts were presented at an Open House held April 26 and 27 at the Winrock Mall, and on May 22, 2007 at Taylor Ranch/Don Newton Community Center. In addition, a presentation was made to the City/County Growth Issues Committee of NAIOP on May 24, 2007. The presentation included a PowerPoint and prototype design concepts for five street types and their cross sections. Over 120 people attended the open house and over 30 people submitted comments. Public comments made at the two open houses are available here.
Please call Manjeet Tangri at (505) 924-3356 if you have any questions.
What is a "Great Street"?
"Great Streets" are those that are memorable, creating a desire to visit the street again and again. They are visually attractive, comfortable and safe to walk, to shop, to bicycle, or to catch a bus. Speed of vehicular traffic is controlled with signal timing, street width, on-street parking, and crossing activity. Small shops, interesting activities, building design, well-placed seating and trees framing the street generate human activity and vitality. The great street connects neighborhoods with work, shopping and entertainment activities in a clear and appealing manner.

Menaul Boulevard Visual Analysis
Contact: Jon P. Messier - (505)924-3888
Project Timeline:
Begun January 2007 with a Scope of Services approved in June.
Project Description:
A report will be prepared to assess a segment of the street for its potential to exhibit a stronger sense-of-place in the geographic mid-point of the city. The focus of the analysis is the segment of Menaul Boulevard from Morris Avenue (east) to Carlisle Boulevard (west), extending 4.5 miles.
The report will discuss how visual qualities along the street can strengthen (or establish) a sense-of-place in the middle of the city.
The 54 page report’s six (6) sections address how highly visible strong natural features (the west mesa edge, the Sandia Mountain) are revealed along the street; develops a statement of its general visual character and its specific visual qualities; and applies the statement-of-character to a block-by-block field survey (divided at half mile intervals) of the appearance of buildings along the street. The report gives special emphasis to the differences in development found east of Wyoming Boulevard. The report concludes by suggesting two general approaches to strengthen sense of place: one emphasizing the more thoughtful use of building materials, emphasizing the more thoughtful use of vegetation.Status as of November 2007:
The Planning Department, retaining HDR, Inc. as its consultant, has completed this report which focuses on sense of place (memorable images or experiences). The concept is associated with Article IX of the City Charter which commits the City government to “ensure development of an aesthetic and humane urban environment.” The Comprehensive Plan extends and deepens this commitment in ways that help shape the report.
Near North Valley (NNV) Sector Development Plan
Contact: Manjeet Tangri - (505)924-3356
Project Timeline:
The Near North Valley Community is concentrating their efforts on the North 4th Street redevelopment Study – Rank III Corridor Plan, which has already been submitted to the Environmental Planning Commission. Once the North 4th Street Plan has gone the EPC, we would have a better idea of the status of the Near North Valley Sector Plan and when it will be submitted to the EPC. Begun August 2005, with a target EPC hearing date of March 2007 and City Council introduction in May 2007. However, the NNV Steering Committee and the Neighborhood Association have requested to expand the scope of services considerably. Therefore, an EPC hearing date will not be known until the extent of the scope is determined.
Project Boundary:
This project will result in a Sector Development Plan for the Near North Valley Neighborhood Association area bounded by Candelaria Rd. on the North; Railroad track on the East; I-40 on the South; Griegos lateral on the West.
Meetings:
No Steering Committee Meetings have taken place since December 2006.
Description/Project Status, September, 2007:
No new activity. Still waiting to hear comments from the Near North Valley Neighborhood Association. No change, see project timeline above. Zoning and land use inconsistencies are among the major issues in the area. Some other issues brought by the neighborhood are need for economic revitalization, accessibility to transit and shopping, impact of walled communities on the streetscape and pedestrian environment, poor condition/absence of sidewalks, using ditch banks as pedestrian trails, flood control, traffic volumes and noise, crime, and air quality. The community wishes to expand of the scope of services. A Steering Committee made up of community and business representatives of this area will help the City and the consultants prioritize the issues and develop plan recommendations.
Meetings/Status as of October, 2007:
No activity since November, 2006 when the Plan was distributed to the Near North Valley Steering Committee and the NNV Neighborhood Association Board. The community is putting their effort on the North 4th Street Corridor Study – Corridor Redevelopment Plan, which was submitted to the Environmental Planning Commission.
During the preparation of the Plan the Steering Committee meetings occurred every 3rd Tuesday of the month (unless otherwise posted) at Los Griegos Community Center, 1231 Candelaria Rd NW at 6:30 p.m.
The City has not received any comments on the Draft Plan as of March 5, nor have we received scope of additional services from the NNVSDP Steering Committee.

Silver Hill Neighborhood Residential Design Guidelines
Contact: Ed Boles – (505)924-3342
Consultant Team: Sites Southwest LLC and Cherry See Reames Architects
Project Timeline:
Introduced at a Silver Hill Neighborhood Association meeting in January 2007, the project
is intended to result in a Silver Hill specific amendment of the University Neighborhoods Sector Development Plan. A Task Force meeting and public meeting will occur in Summer 2008 after which the amendment will be submitted for review by the Landmarks and Urban Conservation Commission, the Environmental Planning Commission, and the City Council.
Moratorium:
In November 2006 the City Council passed Resolution 06-135,enacting a six-month moratorium on issuing building permits for dwelling units in Silver Hill. The moratorium is related to the residential design guidelines project but expired in May 2007.
Project Area:
The area’s northern boundary is the public alley between Central Avenue and Gold Avenue. Its eastern and western boundaries are Yale Boulevard and Sycamore Street, respectively. Its southern boundary runs along Hazeldine Street from Sycamore to Buena Vista Drive, then south along Buena Vista to St. Cyr Avenue, then east to Yale.
Project Description:
The project is defined to produce an amendment of Silver Hill-specific policies in the University Neighborhoods Sector Development Plan, which the City adopted in 1986.
Topics of study include neighborhood pattern and streetscape, architectural form, and architectural features and details. The setback and height restrictions of the Sector Plan’s residential zones also are at issue because they allow the construction of much larger buildings than most existing ones that characterize Silver Hill.
The project area includes most of the Silver Hill Historic District, which is listed in the State Register of Cultural Properties and National Register of Historic Places. The historic district is less than half the size of the project area, so the project is intended to protect both residential and historic character. Within and outside the historic district, the goal is to conserve existing character and ensure appropriate new development.
Public Meetings:
The City and the consultant team held a public meeting February 28, 2007 to describe the project, present an analysis of Silver Hill’s residential and historic character, and gather public opinion on project issues. A second public meeting -- to present a draft amendment for comment -- is planned but not yet scheduled.
Task Force:
The City and consultant team meet occasionally with a task force of Silver Hill and university neighborhoods stakeholders. These meetings take up project issues and alternatives in more detail than the public meetings -- see the attached Options for Regulations document and task force meeting notes.

Southwest Albuquerque Strategic Action Plan
Contact: Paula Donahue - (505) 924-3932
Project Timeline:
Review of existing conditions began September 2005. Since then several planning events were held and plan drafts produced for review. An Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) hearing was held February 14, 2008 and a second hearing will be held May 8, 2008 at 3:30 p.m.. The EPC is being asked to recommend to the City Council approval of the entire Southwest Albuquerque Strategic Action Plan and amendments to several existing plans and ordinances: the West Side Strategic Plan, the Southwest Area Plan, the Rio Bravo Sector Development Plan, the Tower/Unser Sector Development Plan, the West Route 66 Sector Development Plan, the Subdivision Ordinance, and the Zoning Code. A series of City Council hearings should follow this summer.
Project Description:
Work with the community to identify community assets and issues. Assemble an action plan consisting of proposed projects, programs, and amendments to sector development plans, area plans, and ordinances to address current and future community issues. This project involves coordination with APS and Bernalillo County.
Status as of April 2008:
On December 6, 2007, a draft plan was submitted for technical and Environmental Planning Commission review. A first public hearing occurred on Thursday, February, 14, 2008, at 3:30 p.m. in the basement hearing room, 600 2nd St. NW. A second public hearing will be held in the same location on May 8, 2008. The draft Plan is attached below for your review and comment. Paper copies are available through the Planning Department. Just call Paula Donahue. Her number is listed above.
Planning Process History:
The first public meeting was held December 6, 2005. Participants added strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to information from interviews conducted by UNM Graduate Planning students, a November 4 bus tour, and business owner interviews conducted by Architectural Research Consultants.
The next set of events occurred between January 30- February 1, 2006 when the Gibbs Planning Group assessed existing businesses and potential markets for additional businesses in Southwest Albuquerque.
On March 1, 2006 a special public meeting was held to elicit more information about area strengths, opportunities and weaknesses from people not yet heard from. Fieldwork, data gathering, and analysis with consultant continue.
March 6-8, 2006 Dan Burden and a team from Glatting Jackson, David Day, Architectural Research Consultants, and the City of Albuquerque Planning Department held two public meetings, four focus groups, and a design workshop to develop recommendations for making SW Albuquerque a community that is a quality place to live. The area is now referred to as Great SW Albuquerque in anticipation of its future status.
July 14, 2006 a "Sketch Plan of Action" containing a draft set of principles, goals, and a list of possible projects, programs and ordinance and plan amendments was released to future implementing agencies for review and comment. Their comments were incorporated into the Preliminary Action Plan for a Great SW Albuquerque. Community meetings were held on Tuesday, September 26, 2006, and February 20, 2007, and a Draft Plan was published for further comment March 2007. In summer 2007, further meetings were held with small groups to discuss the Action Plan's recommendations to change various ordinances. The Draft Plan attached below reflects those conservations.
