IDO 2023 Annual Update – LUPZ Hearing #2 May 15th

Posted on by

The City Council’s Land Use, Planning, and Zoning (LUPZ) committee will hear proposed changes to the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 5 pm. This hybrid meeting takes place in the Vincent E. Griego Council Chambers, basement level of the City of Albuquerque Government Center, 1 Civic Plaza NW and via Zoom.

LUPZ is expected to hear a presentation by staff, take public comment, vote on proposed amendments, and send the bills to the full City Council for hearings in June.

Proposed amendments include legislative changes that affect properties citywide and small area changes that must be decided as a quasi-judicial process (e.g., Councilors act as judges rather than legislators). You may speak to Councilors directly about any of the citywide changes, but you may only speak to Councilors about small area changes during public hearings. 

For questions, please contact Matthew Cox, Council Planning staff:

Posted on by

The UNM Community and Regional Planning Department Graduate Program is hosting a launch event for its Westside Vision for 2100 Capstone Project and the public is invited to attend!

The Mid-Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MRMPO) is kicking off the update to the greater Albuquerque metropolitan area’s long-range transportation plan, the Transitions 2045 MTP and seeks feedback from the public on the plan. The 2045 Transitions MTP will highlight existing transportation conditions, future needs, and identify projects to help meet our regional and federal goals.

Please take the survey through Friday, February 16 at: https://metroquestsurvey.com/mwq23. For any questions about the MTP or upcoming meetings, please contact Peach Anderson-Tauzer at: panderson-tauzer@mrcog-nm.gov or 505-843-1728.
