No description available.

[music] sex. [music] Call this meeting to order. This is the land use planning and zoning committee of the city council. All councilors are present this evening with councilors Grout, Rogers, and Bassan joining via Zoom. Like to start the meeting with our land acknowledgement. The city of Albuquerque was established on the unseated traditional homelands of the Tiwa Pueblo people, the PBLO of Sandia and Isleta. As caretakers of the middle Rio Grande Valley, the Tiwa PBlo people nurtured and cared for its human and non-human inhabitants as well as the desert, mountain, and water ecosystems since time immemorial. Historically, the PBLO peoples have contributed to and guided the development of Albuquerque and New Mexico, and they continue to cultivate the cultural, spiritual, and social, economic life of Albuquerque and our land of enchantment. We also recognize that Albuquerque has long been a gathering place of diverse indigenous peoples, tribal nations, and pblo of New Mexico, and indigenous nations from around the world, and that this sacred place continues to be their traditional homelands. Tonight's meeting will be a hybrid meeting where all participants will be in person or on video or audio conference. We'll have public comments um if you signed up by the deadline today online. Uh public comments are to be addressed to the committee members only. Each participant has two minutes to present and any disruptive conduct will result in removal from the meeting. We are going to begin with agenda um item A and that is EC3530 community planning area assessment report Northwest Ma Mesa. I move receipt be noted. >> Second >> seconded by councelor Champine and we do have a presentation tonight on this topic from uh Mr. Vincente Gavado. So Mr. Gavado, if you're ready, come on up. Okay, hopefully you can hear me. It says do not touch the microphone, so I'm not going to touch it. [laughter] Okay. Um, and Garrett, you got the Okay. Uh, [snorts] thank you very much for the opportunity to present to you. Um, the work I'm about to present on represents a lot of moving parts, a lot of pieces over a span of a year. Uh, so I'm going to give you a high level overview and happy to answer any questions. Um, go ahead and go to slide two, please. Okay. Uh the comprehensive plan establishes 12 community planning areas or CPAs and outlines a process to engage the community and agency partners. Um the assessment report analyzes trends for each element of the comp plan and recommends actions to address community priorities um heard through the public engagement process. Um the northwest Messa CPA is generally bounded by the Rio Grande to the east, uh the city's edge on the west, Montano and Hila roads to the south, and the Bernalo Sandoval County line to the north as you can see in the map on the slide. Uh next slide, please. Um public engagement strategies uh occurred between September of 2024 through June of 2025 and offered a range of opportunities for input, discussion, and consens consensus building uh around the comp plan elements, community priorities, and planning topics. Section three of the Northwest Messa CPA assessment report um as you can see here as an example. Um um let's see, section three of the report correlates to each of the 10 elements of the comprehensive plan uh which are also on this slide. Uh the report section uh this report section also provides background on the current conditions uh along with summaries of assets and opportunities for each priority identified by community members. Uh appendex 8 and nine of the CPA report uh provides a summary of public engagement efforts and goes to into a lot more detail about um all of the engagement efforts we engaged in. Um go to the next slide please. Um, as part of the CPA assessment process, the Urban Design and Development Division is tasked with recommending policies and actions that respond to public engagement data during a CPA process. Uh, the Northwest MESA CPA assessment report recommends 10 new comprehensive plan policies, um, which is included in section five, uh, starting on page 86 of the report, and 11 action items, uh, which begin in section six on page 91 of the report. Um, if accepted by the Albuquerque City Council, uh, the 10 new recommended policies will be incorporated into the comprehensive plan during the next scheduled update and the assigned area planner will also work to fulfill the action matrix. Um, so in closing here, um, this represents a very critical um, piece of updating the comprehensive plan. If you go to section four of the comp plan, you'll see holding places for each of these uh, planning areas. and the work that uh you're reviewing today uh represents not only the work of all of our team, but an opportunity to update the comp plan and um have policies on the books and actions that uh once again respond to community needs and uh priorities. So, and with that, I'll end. >> Thank you so much. Please stick around in case there are any questions, but we will go to um public comment. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, we had Renee Horvath signed up to speak, but I do not see her in Zoom and she is not present in. >> Okay. Um, and she's not on Zoom either for sure. Okay. >> Well, then we will move on to questions from counselors. >> Seeing none, [laughter] um, we will vote on this. Um, we have to do a roll call vote because we have folks online, but we'll move to the vote on EC530. Uh, receipt be noted.

Um, all right. Let's move on to agenda item B. Um, Councelor Rogers. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Item B is R25-204, the repealing of St. Joseph Hospital Metropolitan Redevelopment Area designation and a plan and amending the code of resolutions. I'm moving for councelor Baka by request. And I know we do have uh a technical amendment as well. >> Thank you. And that was a move for a due pass. >> Yes. Thank you. A motion for a due pass. >> And a second from anyone. >> I will second. Thank you. I'll take the one from councelor Bassan. I saw that one first. Um, all right. And we do have an amendment. It's in the iPads, but Council Rogers, if you want to move that. >> Thank you. I would love to move floor amendment in your packets or on the iPads. It's a item one, floor amendment one. Um, and it starts on page three to remove section number four, effective date and publication, and insert the following. And this is just the compilation uh language that we have to have. Um and so we're adding section four compilation. Section two of this resolution amends is incorporated in and is to be compiled as a part of the court of resolution to the city of Albuquerque of New Mexico. So again, this is just a technical amendment that corrects the resolution to include our required compilation uh language and also removes the effective date and publication. And this is in an effort for us to keep consistency uh uh procedurally for our requirements for resolutions versus ordinances. >> Thank you. >> Second. >> Thank you. >> That was move of um committee amendment number one.
