body
CALLING FOR AN ECONOMIC IMPACT EVALUATION RELATING TO THE CITY’S PROPOSED SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION AND CONVENIENCE CENTER AT COMANCHE AND EDITH.
WHEREAS, the City of Albuquerque is seeking to develop a Solid Waste Transfer Station and Convenience Center at the southeast corner of Edith Boulevard and Comanche Road (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, such a Project could have an economic impact on land and businesses in the vicinity of the Project; and
WHEREAS, previous evaluations relating to this Project have focused on site suitability and fiscal impacts relating to the City’s needs and resources, but have not evaluated potential economic impacts for the area; and
WHEREAS, previous evaluations by the City have not focused on the convenience center aspect of the project and whether or not including it as a component of the project presents a measurable economic impact; and
WHEREAS, an evaluation of the economic impacts of the Project that looks at the Project both as presently proposed and also as if the Project did not include the convenience center should be completed to identify any measurable economic impacts for the surrounding area (the “Economic Impact Evaluation”); and
WHEREAS, the Economic Impact Evaluation should be completed before the City takes any further steps toward completion of the project.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE:
1. Twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) is reserved in the City Council Services General Fund Budget for the Current Fiscal Year for the Economic Impact Evaluation.
2. The City shall take no further action toward completion of the Project, and shall defer any pending matters, including but not limited to its land use application before the Environmental Planning Commission, until such time as the Economic Impact Evaluation is completed.
