Adopting Interim Procedures For The Development Review Board Until The First Annual Update To The Integrated Development Ordinance Has Been Completed (Jones)
body
ADOPTING INTERIM PROCEDURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD UNTIL THE FIRST ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
WHEREAS, the Development Review Board (DRB) is comprised of City Staff with expertise in Planning, Engineering, Transportation, Zoning, Parks and Recreation, and Water Utilities; and
WHEREAS, the DRB was created to offer efficient considerations of technical standards, which would have otherwise required an applicant to meet individually with the experts listed above; and
WHEREAS, the DRB’s role is to consider if applications meet technical standards set forth by adopted City documents; and
WHEREAS, the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) sets forth the DRB as a discretionary board responsible for making some discretionary approvals; and
WHEREAS, it is not practical for technical City Staff members to operate in such a manner that prohibits them from communicating with members of the public outside of a public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the interim procedures set forth in this resolution, which shall be adopted into the IDO during the document’s first annual update, clarify the roles and responsibilities of the DRB.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE:
Section 1. The interim guidelines for various processes and definitions in the Integrated Development Ordinance as outlined in Exhibit A to this resolution are hereby effective.
Section 2. The Planning Department shall formally incorporate the changes in Exhibit A as a part of the 2019 Integrated Development Ordinance annual update process.
