Some City projects have been delayed due to zoning requirements that are not required of other governmental agencies in the City, like Albuquerque Public Schools, the State of New Mexico or Federal Agencies.\r\n\r\nStanding and Appeals: \r\n1)\tClarifies that the use of public lands, including parks, is insufficient to establish a \r\nproperty right that would allow for standing to appeal.  Some appellants have argued that their use of public property justifies standing for appeal, which can dramatically expand the areas where an individual may appeal.\r\n2)\tAdds a petition requirement for Neighborhood Associations to have standing to \r\nappeal.  A petition in support of appeal must be signed by a majority of all property owners within 660 feet (approximately 2 blocks) of the application site.  Some neighborhood associations claim to represent the majority in an appeals without the participation of the most of the nearby neighbors. \r\n3)\tRequires the appeal record be transmitted to the LUHO within 30 days of an \r\nappeal.  Also specifies a transcript is required but not the official record.  This should reduce the administrative burden on the planning department and speed up transmitting the record.  It allows for an unofficial transcript of hearings, which in most circumstances are sufficiently accurate, but does not require staff to conduct a time consuming review of the entire record.  \r\n4)\tClarifies that failing to comply with notice requirements for neighboring property \r\nowners is grounds for reversal or remand but that does not extend to neighborhood associations.  Some projects have been remanded for additional notice even when neighborhood associations participate in the underlying hearing.  \r\n\r\nAmendment process: \r\n1)\tClarifies that applications “by request” or “by request of a City Councilor” do not \r\nhave to be heard by EPC and also that an amendment sponsored by request does not require a Councilor to recuse themselves from an application.  This clarifies the City Council’s process for amendments.\r\n\r\nZoning Changes:\r\n1)\tMakes multifamily housing permissive in R-A, R-1, R-MC and R-T zones within \r\n1320 feet of a Premium Transit Station (ART) and Main Street areas.  Increases the number of zones where multifamily housing may be built permissively. Multifamily housing is currently not allowed in these zones.  It also clarifies that multi-family developments in the districts listed above are only permissive within 1320 feet of Premium Transit Station (ART) and Main Street Areas.\r\n2)\tThis amendment eliminates building height restrictions for dwellings within 1320 \r\nfeet of Premium Transit Station (ART) and Main Street areas.  Allows for taller residential builings1 within ¼ mile of the Premium Transit and Main Street areas, which would allow for increased density of housing in those areas.\r\n\r\nFiscal Impact: The FIA reflects no impact.\r\n \r\nKey Dates: This Ordinance goes into effect five days following publication.","MatterEXText2":"Kevin Morrow","MatterEXText3":null,"MatterEXText4":null,"MatterEXText5":null,"MatterEXText6":null,"MatterEXText7":null,"MatterEXText8":null,"MatterEXText9":null,"MatterEXText10":null,"MatterEXText11":null,"MatterEXDate1":null,"MatterEXDate2":null,"MatterEXDate3":null,"MatterEXDate4":null,"MatterEXDate5":null,"MatterEXDate6":null,"MatterEXDate7":null,"MatterEXDate8":null,"MatterEXDate9":null,"MatterEXDate10":null,"MatterAgiloftId":0,"MatterReference":"26","MatterRestrictViewViaWeb":false,"MatterReports":[]}
