body
ADOPTING INTERIM REGULATIONS FOR THE NORTH 4TH CORRIDOR TO IMPLEMENT DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS UNTIL THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE IS UPDATED WITH PERMANENT REGULATIONS FOR THE AREA.
WHEREAS, in 2017 all of the City’s sector plans were rescinded with the adoption of the Integrated Development Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the North Fourth Rank III Corridor Plan contained certain protections for the North Fourth Corridor, an area defined in Exhibit A to this resolution; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of the Integrated Development Ordinance has allowed development that differs from the character that the North Fourth Rank III Corridor Plan intended; and
WHEREAS, adopting a set of interim regulations until permanent regulations for the area can be incorporated into the Integrated Development Ordinance will help protect the character of the corridor; and
WHEREAS, the interim regulations proposed in Exhibit B are intended to supplement those found in the Integrated Development Ordinance.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE:
SECTION 1. Development within the area specified by Exhibit A to this resolution shall comply with the interim standards set forth in Exhibit B to this resolution, except for as outlined in Section 3. These interim regulations shall be in place for a period of one year, or until the Integrated Development Ordinance has been updated to include amended regulations for the area, whichever occurs first.
SECTION 2. The City Planning Department is hereby directed to consider amended regulations for the area bounded in Exhibit A, with particular attention towards massing, scale, and articulation that is consistent with the character of the area.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall not apply to building permits that have been applied for prior to adoption of this Resolution by the Council.
