Integrated Development Ordinance

The Integrated Development Ordinance includes zoning and subdivision regulations to govern land use and development within the City of Albuquerque and establishes the City's system of planning.

The Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) was adopted in November 2017, amended in April and May 2018, and became effective on May 17, 2018.

The Planning Department will submit updates to the IDO every year in July. Send comments and suggestions to [email protected].

Zoning Maps

Zoning for each property is established by the Official Zoning Map.

Zoning standards applied to Centers & Corridors or small areas are shown in the IDO Zoning Interactive Map available in the AGIS Interactive Map Gallery.

The Zone Atlas is available here.

Voluntary Follow-up Zone Conversion Process

Property owners can opt in to a free, one-year process to address nonconformities, floating zone lines, and voluntary downzone requests, among other criteria identified in Resolution 2018-29.

The Planning Department will be submitting at least two packages of zone conversions from May 2018 to April 2019.

Zoning Enforcement Officer (ZEO)

In order to administer the Integrated Development Ordinance, the ZEO must provide guidance to staff and applicants from time to time as questions arise. See IDO Subsection 14-16-6-2(B)(1)(c).

Property owners and residents can also apply for a Declaratory Ruling about any zoning standard in the IDO per specific procedures in 14-16-6-5(B).
