![Page 7: City of Albuquerque - ABC to Z Mo… · Landscaping, Buffering, and Screening • Many new standards based on existing SU2 • New spacing standards for planting in right-of-way •](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050520/5fa41568307b98286243f7d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Implementing the Comp Plan • In Comp Plan “Areas of Consistency”
– new lots must meet contextual standards based on existing development patterns.
• Downtown, Urban Centers, Main Streets, and Transit-Oriented Developments have higher allowable building heights.
• Neighborhood-specific standards for sidewalks, drive-throughs, and off-premises signs.

Neighborhood Protection and Character
1. Many SU-2 zoning regulations designed to protect neighborhoods from impacts of adjacent development have become citywide standards.
2. R-1 Zone becomes 4 zones to better reflect neighborhood fabric.
3. More intense Centers and Corridors (Downtown, Urban Centers, and Main Streets have more urban standards; other Centers and Corridors (closer to neighborhoods) have lower heights and densities and more open space.
4. Some SU-2 standards specific to a neighborhood have been retained with maps showing the areas where they apply.

Geographic Influence on Zoning Conversions • Overall idea is one-to-one district conversion
• Implementation of Comp Plan policies requires finer grained approach to conversion
• To facilitate job-housing balance difference in current commercial district conversion
• Areas of higher residential concentration = conversion to NR-C.
• Areas of existing mixed use and employment opportunities = MX-T
