Martineztown/Santa Barbara Sector Development Plan

Contact: Lorena Patten-Quintana - 505-924-3940 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Planning Department is updating the Martineztown/Santa Barbara Sector Development Plan (adopted in 1990) in collaboration with the neighborhood.

This Plan area is approximately 548 acres bounded by Menaul Boulevard on the north, Lomas Boulevard on the south, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway on the west, and Interstate 25 on the east.

This plan will address issues identified by the Martineztown/Santa Barbara Neighborhood Association.  Specific neighborhood issues are: incompatible land use patterns and existing zoning; flooding and drainage problems; inadequate sanitary sewer line capacity and condition; commercial and high speed traffic in the neighborhood; and capital improvements.

This plan will establish land development regulations and recommend capital improvements to preserve and protect the neighborhood’s historic residential core and existing commercial properties.  This short range action plan will address the immediate needs of the neighborhood and serve as a guide for future development.

 

STATUS:

A final draft of the plan is expected to be presented to the public March 2010.
