North I-25 Sector Development Plan

Contact: Chris Hyer - 505-924-3927

Project Description/Status as of June 2009:
The purpose of this plan is to update the existing plan, to halt the encroachment of residential land use from east and create a buffer around the existing residential areas from the business park area and support continued growth of employment in the Plan’s area.

The Planning Department, in conjunction with their consultant, HDR, has worked on and incorporated the comments from the EPC and the public to create a more comprehensive and viable document.

The current Plan is the March 2008 EPC draft and is posted on the web for review. This draft was revised and made available February 7, 2008 after receiving and incorporating more documents from stakeholders in the Plan area.

All comments should be sent to Chris Hyer at the Planning Department. Any received will be presented to the City Council. As the agenda for the City Council is made available, interested parties will be invited to speak at their hearings regarding this revision.

Upon approval of this Plan by the City Council, the existing North I-25 Sector Development Plan will be rescinded.

As of June 2009, this Plan will be heard by the Land, Use, Planning and Zoning subcommittee of the City Council on June 10, 2009.
