Site Plan – Administrative Development Facilitation Team
What We Do
The Development Facilitation Team (DFT) reviews Site Plans for commercial projects greater than 50,000 square feet; multi-family projects greater than 50 units; and projects that require major public infrastructure (except those that require EPC review per the IDO). All other Site Plans are reviewed as part of the building permit review.
How We Serve You
The DFT reviews site plans to ensure compliance with zoning and engineering requirements, including those from:
- the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO),
- the Development Process Manual (DPM), and
- the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA).
The DFT includes staff representing:
- Planning,
- Code Enforcement,
- Hydrology,
- Traffic Engineer,
- Parks and Recreation, and
- Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA).
In addition to site plan review, the DFT is the support staff to the Development Hearing Officer (DHO).
- Learn more about the DHO process and see the hearing calendar
- See meeting agendas, notices of decision, and action sheets.
The DFT supports the DHO in the review of subdivisions, easements, and vacations, as well as requests for waivers to the DPM and these IDO Sections:
Requirements for Plans
The DFT requires that all Plan sheets be signed and sealed by a licensed engineer, architect, or surveyor licensed in the State of New Mexico. Landscape Plan sheets must be signed and sealed by a licensed Landscape Architect licensed in the State of New Mexico. All pages must be signed and sealed.
Application Submittals
All applications must be submitted in ABQ-PLAN. POSSE and AVOLVE systems are no longer available.
